questionable tcp ports

2000-09-19 Thread Erik Peter P. Abella
Hi Folks,


I'm almost sure that my server has been compromised by some heinous
cracker and am taking steps to remedy this. I've grepped tcp from lsof
and came up with this and would like to know if there is something there
that shouldn't be.

Re: your mail

2000-09-19 Thread Nathan

Yes, patch is the program you use for this ;)

You can actualy run somethng like:

patch -p0 < filetopatchkernelwith.wee

That should do it, pray it applies cleanly and run a "make
mrproper" afterwards.

Second issue, the general config from Debian - not a problem.  Copy it out
first (before the patch and make mrproper) and then copy it back to the
/usr/src/linux/.config spot and run "make oldconfig".  That should fly
through the previous selections and only ask you for input where it needs
it.  Then, run a "make menuconfig" and walk through the setting one by one
to get to your "lean and mean" kernel.

Good luck,
Nathan

p.s. It's amazing how theraputic doing online support can be after a
knock-out drag-down with your girlfriend.

Re: RAID 5

2000-09-19 Thread R. W. Rodolico

Ok, I'll patch the !#@$%$ kernel, and no, I will not put the 2.4 ALPHA 
kernel on. This as an excuse to get a Mickeysoft person converted, and 
the last thing I need is to put a kernel on that is as bad as the NT he 
loves so well. :) Well, maybe not as bad, but still unreliable.

No all I have to do is figure out how to patch. I assume 
that /usr/bin/patch is what I use to patch the kernel. Actually, I got 
the patch from RH, and tried to patch the kernel, but by that time it 
was way early in the morning and I am not completely sure my eyes were 
processing the full information read all the way to my brain.

So, followup question. Patch is the correct program to patch the 
kernel? And, I assume the kernel howto or something will lead me 
through by the hand. I was planning on building a custom kernel anyway 
as I'm wanting to make this a fairly lean and mean kernel.

Finally, is there any place anyone is aware of that has the 
configuration used by the Debian kernel binary builders?  In other 
words, the /usr/src/linux/.config from when they build the kernel? In 
the past, when I downloaded the source, I just went through and 
removed/added things as I saw fit to the default configuration. But, 
I'd like to start with what already is working on my machine.

Thanks for the advice.

Exim bounce message

2000-09-19 Thread tps
I know I'm not the first one to try this out, but I can't find anything
on the exim site, so I turn to you guys. :)

As many of you know, I work at bnl.gov (Brookhaven National Lab) during
the day. I've implemented a Perimeter Defense network (firewall) utilizing
a Cisco Pix, and application proxies running Debian. Along with this, I have
a smtp gateway that all mail must pass through. We are getting ready to
start blocking email directly to the individual machines, and making
all mail go to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. However, I'd like Exim, on the smtp gateway,
to be able to send email back to the sender, if the email is sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], sorta like "I'm sorry, mail to this machine is 
disabled. Please try sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] bla bla bla". I can;t
figure this out. Anyone else try something like this?

Thanks,
Tim

Likely, it's logrotate or somebody else who starts as nobody but
has to get root to move things around.

At least, that's the normal, non-threatening thing that probably
happens every morning at about the same time, I'd guess.

Depends on who you ask for that reccomendation, I used both without a
problem for quite a while.  Also, the user was using a stock kernel with
(I think) the Debian distro and so "patch your kernel and
recompile" wasn't a suggestion I was going to give unless I felt it was a
good idea.

Besides, if you are willing to patch the kernel, why not just go with a
pre-2.4?  *grin*

actually this is not recommended. what is, getting the raid patches
from people.redhat.com/~?mingo/raid-patches/raid-2.2.17-A0, patch
the kernel, recompile the kernel, and use raidtools2.

has some problems around raid1 i think.. use .16-A0 then.

Depends on who you ask for that reccomendation, I used both without a
problem for quite a while.  Also, the user was using a stock kernel with
(I think) the Debian distro and so "patch your kernel and
recompile" wasn't a suggestion I was going to give unless I felt it was a
good idea.

Besides, if you are willing to patch the kernel, why not just go with a
pre-2.4?  *grin*

actually this is not recommended. what is, getting the raid patches
from people.redhat.com/~?mingo/raid-patches/raid-2.2.17-A0, patch
the kernel, recompile the kernel, and use raidtools2.

has some problems around raid1 i think.. use .16-A0 then.

Re: RAID 5

2000-09-19 Thread Nathan
I believe that since you are using the 2.2 series, you will need to use
the regular raidtools package.

The raidtools2 package is great (and required) for recent (2.4) series
kernels.

One note however, when you do end up upgrading to 2.4 after it comes out
and is deamed stable, raidtools2 *does* have the ability to upgrade your
arrays to the new style raid devices (which rock - hotplug kicks).

so go with the regular package for now since it's proven stable. The
raidtools2 is there for people like me who can't stand running stock
kernels and love to have the latest stuff break our prodution boxes.

RAID 5

2000-09-19 Thread R. W. Rodolico
I am trying to get RAID 5 up and running under potato. I have four 4.5G
SCSI drives (sda-sdd) that were originally set up as a RAID device on
this same machine under RedHat. Now, I'm very confused as to whether to
use raidtools or raidtools2. raidtools2 says I must patch the kernel,
but I can find no patches for the 2.2.17 kernel that comes with potato.
I actually hoped that the kernel was already patched since it came with
the RAID 5 module.

I have tried it with raidtools and raidtools5. I have the RAID 5 module
installed. I get errors about "read_ahead not defined" in /proc/mdstat,
and all four devices are listed but show they are not used.

Have tried to make the raid device with raidtools and raidtools2. No
luck. Not sure I'm doing the raidtools creation correctly, but have
created /etc/raidtab from the samples, modified for my configuration.

Any help is appreciated.

RAID 5

2000-09-19 Thread R. W. Rodolico

I am trying to get RAID 5 up and running under potato. I have four 4.5G
SCSI drives (sda-sdd) that were originally set up as a RAID device on
this same machine under RedHat. Now, I'm very confused as to whether to
use raidtools or raidtools2. raidtools2 says I must patch the kernel,
but I can find no patches for the 2.2.17 kernel that comes with potato.
I actually hoped that the kernel was already patched since it came with
the RAID 5 module.

I have tried it with raidtools and raidtools5. I have the RAID 5 module
installed. I get errors about "read_ahead not defined" in /proc/mdstat,
and all four devices are listed but show they are not used.

Have tried to make the raid device with raidtools and raidtools2. No
luck. Not sure I'm doing the raidtools creation correctly, but have
created /etc/raidtab from the samples, modified for my configuration.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello, 
 I am having problems with tftpd - I need to upload some files using tftp
protocol, I've installed tftpd package,  now it's being run from inetd,
problem is - it doesen't work! and there is no documentation ..
I found some docs, but they are about *BSD tftpd, and it has all nice
options like -n - allow users to create files, and -d - specyifying upload
