removing gdm
Hello I have a little problem. I use woody. I installed gdm, but unfortunately, I cannot use my keyboard and my mouse with it, so I installed kdm and forget to remove gdm. Now I dont have any working grafical login. When I try to remove gdm I got the following: Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... The following packages will be REMOVED: gdm 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 9 not upgraded. 2 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives.

If you program does not have this feature simply log in as root on a normal tty and send the proc a term signal or even a kill sig (sig 9) if needed.

lprng
Nessus claims all versions of lprng prior to 3.6.24 has some unnamed flaw which allows exploiting the daemon's priviledges. As a debian lprng runs as daemon, it is not as dangerous as nessus claims (root compromise), at least directly. How ever, I cannot find any references to any vulnerabilities in lprng, except one in January 2000 in security.debian.org! Since potato has lprng 3.6.12 it would be nice to know if there is a vulnerability or not. Anyone and ideas? I know nessus gives a lot of false positives, such as claiming my mail server is an open relay when testing it from the (firewalled) subnet which it really _IS_ a relay for. Nessus has no way of knowing outiside world cannot use it as a relay; or claiming an up-to-date potato sshd as vulnerable to the CRC32 attack compensator bug since its version number suggests it is vulnerable. Most false positives are easily dismissed by knowing your setup which nessus does not. There are a couple of concering cases, though: This case of lprng: nessus only says it detects an lprng daemon, but NOT that it cannot tell the version number and just states what I describe in the beginning. Another is Trin00. It has this far detected three machines with Trin00. In one of them it most certainly is false since it claims to have found Windows version of Trin00 on an IRIX host... The other two cases, on the other hand give no hint of being falses. Does anyone know how reliable nessus is in detecting Trin00? Does it only check that port X is open, thus we have Trin00 there or does it really send some commands to the supposed Trin00 client/daemon and verify its existence from the reply? If nessus is not realiable, how can I check for it? -- --- | Juha Jäykkä, [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | home: http://www.utu.fi/~juolja/ | ---
