bug del proftpd
Buenas. En la potato (a día de hoy 20-7-2000), viene el proftpd 1.2.0pre10-2. Según Security Focus, las versiones pre del 1.2 están afectadas por un bug que permite ejecutar código arbitrario. He mirado en el árbol de potato en security.debian.org, y no aparece ningún paquete de actualización del proftpd. Personalmente asumo que el mantenedor ha corregido el bug editando las fuentes y recompilándolas de nuevo, pero me gustaría asegurarme. ¿Sabe alguien algo al respecto? Gracias por todo.

Re: un script para lectores de LA y SL
¿Alguien con un postgreSQL publico...? lo tengo ¿un cvs para meter cosas entre varios...? lo tengo ¿algun recurso por el estilo ...? todo lo que querais; decidme el paquete de Debian que quereis que instale, fuera de lo que ya tengo. sourceforge.net? Aunque parecería abuso :o) Yo pedí cuenta para el proyecto orca en sourceforge y tenía ya todo listo para convertirlo en la url oficial, pero me aparecieron varios problemas: los scripts cgi son ejecutados por un usuario que no puede alterarme los ficheros (el glosario por ejemplo) y así no podía permitir que cualquier usuario modifique automáticamente el glosario. Algunos dias he encontrado que mis ficheros ahora pertenecen a un superusuario y no los puedo alterar; tengo que esperar unas horas hasta que vuelven a quedar en mi nombre. No tienen postgresql sino mysql. En conclusión, me parece mucho mejor trabajar en una máquina donde seamos root y podamos instalar lo que queramos. Uhmm, no sé ... ¿alguien se anima ...? Claro que si! me parece interesantísima la idea de borxa y puedo aprovechar alguna experiencia con un proyecto casi idéntico en que he trabajado en los últimos años: es un proyecto Europeo sobre una base de datos bibliograficos de propiedades físicas de alimentos; podeis verlo en: http://quark.fe.up.pt/foodrefs/ Podeis ver la lista completa de referencias con Go o hacer busquedas con query; claro está, será necessario buscar algo relacionado con alimentos, en inglés (bread, milk, spinach, etc.) Podeis jugar a introducir nuevas referencias, pues esta es una versión de prueba y la podeis modificar tranquilamente. Si os parece bien puedo proceder a substituir la lista de referencias de alimentos por la lista de artículos de Linux que ha creado borxa, y como en quark tengo un mirror oficial del Linux Gazette, puedo incorporar automáticamente los títulos de todos los artículos que han sido publicados en Linux Gazette. El cvs lo tengo funcionando pero me gustaria crear passwords para cada miembro del proyecto, pués así es mas fácil controlar quien ha hecho alguna alteración.

Boot floppy [URGENT]
Hi all, I really need a fast help. I've to setup a debian box with a Compaq Array SCSI Controller. I downloaded the latest boot floppy for potato to install debian trough network. problem: the Compaq Array where root has to be mounted is loaded only like module. I was able to partion disks etc loading the module during the installation procedure using the shell on ttyX but now i'd rebooted to continue the setup procedure and how i suspected the kernel installed on the disk array is not able to mount root since it doesn't have the module loaded and it cannot load module not having root mounted. Now I've compiled a custom kernel with scsi support and cqarray inside and i made some try to make a boot floppy but without success. I used both mkrboot and mkboot. using mkrboot i'm not able to specify the root disk. using mkboot it report me (during the boot) lilo error 0x04 How can i do it? Please help me is really urgent.

RE: Debian + Windows98 on the same large disk problem
Hi Ignasi, Thanks for your email. Did you actually use FAT or FAT32 for the other OS and was the other OS WIndows98? I tried to wipe out the disk and create tha FAT32 partition using the fdisk of the Windows98 startup disk but when I rebooted to Debian, the Debian cfdisk was exiting with a fatal error! (apparently it could not understand the FAT32 partition created with the Windows fdisk). I wonder if this has to do with me having a too large disk (40GB). Could you please tell me the exact steps you did? This is what I did: 1. I boot my new disk (master - 40GB) using a WIndows 98 startup disk. 2. I create a 12GB FAT32 partition using the fdisk found in the startup disk and another partition for the rest of the disk. 3. I reboot to Debian (which is located in my primary slave disk). 4. In order to create ext2 partitions, I try to start cfdisk or fdisk and both of them exit with a FATAL ERROR message. Does this make any sense? (or I should definitely devote/waste a whole hard disk for Windows 98?) Cheers Dimitris -Original Message- From: I. Tura [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2000 6:14 PM To: Dimitris Dracopoulos; 'debian-user@lists.debian.org' Subject: Re: Debian + Windows98 on the same large disk problem Hello Dimitris, I had the exact same problem as you. The action you and me did wrong is to create FAT partitions with a Linux program. In the fdisk docs it tells that if you want to do a partition for the OS A, use the partition program from the OS A. I could not solve that situation so I had to wipe out again the whole disk and then do the FAT partition with M$ fdisk and the ext2 partitions with GNU fdisk. Also please check if your BIOS includes Access disk for this, or that OS when you partition. Phoenix 4.0 BIOS, in this or that Access disk option makes GNU fdisk to report different values! Good luck, Ignasi At 17.30 18/7/00 +0100, Dimitris Dracopoulos ha escrit: Hi, I have recently got a new hard disk 40GB, in which I decided to install both Windows98 and Debian, FreeBSD. (I never wanted to install this Win98 stuff on my machine but job matters force...) I repartitioned the hard disk using slink Debian's cfdisk into a first FAT32 partition of 12GB and 3 more partitions (second is 12GB BSD, and the other two, 10 and 5GB Linux). For the cfdisk to work properly with my large disk, I had to specify the disk geometry that FreeBSD's fdisk returned to me. Following that I installed Windows98 on the first partition of 12GB. I checked with the Windows98 fdisk program, and indeed it finds the 4 partitions mentioning that the 3 last ones are non-DOS. The problem is that when I use the Windows explorer to see what is the available space for my C drive (FAT32 partition), I get that available for C are 39GB, i.e. the whole of my hard disk and not just the FAT32 partition. Despite that, it reports the C volume label to be the same name as that reported by the Windows98 fdisk! So, I wonder what is happening? Is it just a bug in the Windows Explorer or the actual Windows will expand further than their allocated 12GB partition when they have no space and delete my Debian and FreeBSD stuff when I install them there? Has anyone installed both Debian and Windows98 on the same large disk and came across anything similar?

How do I make it using EST? This sounds more like a bug in ls or touch than anything else, as times in the filesystem will always be recorded as UTC, but displayed in localtime. Do you get similar results when you do $ date -u $ cat /dev/null /tmp/hello $ ls -al /tmp/hello If not, it looks like touch has problems. Alternatively, check the actual time and filestamp with perl: $ perl -e 'print time, \n' $ touch /tmp/hello $ perl -e 'print ((stat(/tmp/hello))[9], \n)' If they produce numbers that correlate well, then it looks like your ls is displaying dates in UTC, ignoring the timezone that date uses; could be time to upgrade, if you want to fix it...

Re: How to make a boot disk?
The simplest way is to dd the kernel to the floppy disk, and then set the root device (partition). dd if=/path_to_your_kernel of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/your_root_partition You can verify that the root device for the floppy disk kernel is set correctly by using this command: rdev /dev/fd0 You can also set video mode if you want.

Network/Server CRC Errors on large compressed files.
Hey!, I have a little server set up in a home office running Potato. It is an AMD 233, 20GIG IDE Western Digital HD, 64 Ram system that acts as a gateway/firewall, print and file server. However, I am having a very odd problem with it. I often deal with large compressed files (10 megs or so each, usually in zip or rar format). I usually make them on my local machine, and then transfer them to my server to be archived onto tape. However, once they get to the server they become corrunpted. Now, It is not always the case that they get corrupted during the transmission. For example, if I have a 3 part spanning file (aka an 3 volume compressed file) I will test the extraction on my local box. It usually works. Ok, then I copy it to my server. When I try to decompress it on the server, file 2 may fail (Give me a bad CRC error). But then if I try it again, 2 may pass and 3 will fail. Then after several tries they may all decompress successfully and the will just get a general CRC error at the end. And sometimes it actually works. It is this odd behavior that makes me wonder if it is the server and not the network. Does anyone have any idea what is happening and how I can resolve this? The server is running 2.2.14, and I have the kernel configured as a host, not router (which I think I read gives some CRC checking, but no luck). Thanks! -Pete

Re: voodoo3 + 3dfx.o module source
Hi Bobby, Looks like there is no 3dfx.o module in your /lib/modules/kernel_version/misc directory. You can either compile the module and do a make install and check that it's in the right place. Or, alternatively get the driver from 3dfx's site and debianise the rpm with alien and install and compile as before. I didn't use the deb's, compiling everything from debianised (alien is of use here) 3dfx's rpms. However the message is common when Q3 can't find/load the 3dfx driver module. You should have a /dev/3dfx device as well. Check the permissions on this. Before you try and run Q3, run the three 3dfx test programs 3DFXTest and the two glide ones. You should get a blue screen exited via the esc key. You also need a similar resolution to the glide resolution in your XF86Config file. i.e. you need an entry for 800x600 if your trying to run the 3dfx card at 800x600.

firewall got silly after apt-get upgrade

Re: mysql-server root password
I ended up being able to set the password via some select commands. Here
are those commands if anybody is interested.
mysql -u root mysql
UPDATE user SET Password = PASSWORD ('new_password')
WHERE user = 'root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
The password was blank but for some reason /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root
password 'new-password' would not work.

had the same problem. My sysadmin possibly raised a password during
installation. So the database constrained it from root using the
password which I didn't know. One possible solution was to reinvoke
the whole procedure with:

Hi!
mind twister break?
how to use grep to show all the paladrome words in the linux dictionary?
grep '\(.\)\(.\)\(.\)\3\2\1' \usr\dict\words partly works?
grep can't do it, since wc -L reports that the longest word contains 24
letters and grep can only handle 9 backreferences (so it could only
catch words up to 19 letters long).
Enter perl (:
In the interest of speed, we build up an array of fixed-length patterns
instead of using the very slow
^(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?)(.?).?\12\11\10\9\8\7\6\5\4\3\2\1$
perl -we '$k=24;@p=(-1,0,.);$f=$b=;for($i=1;$i=$k/2;$i++){$f.=(.);
$b=\\$i$b;push @p,$f$b,$f.$b}while(){$p=$p[length];/^$p$/ and print}
' /usr/share/dict/words
If you don't want the single-letter palindromes, get rid of the very
first period.
Since it turns out that the largest palindromic word in
/usr/share/dict/words is only 7 letters long, we can use grep:
grep '^\(.\?\)\(.\?\)\(.\?\).\?\3\2\1$' /usr/share/dict/words
Get rid of the first \? if you don't want single-letter palindromes.

dlopen oddness
Hola~ Sorry about the wide bandwidth, if there's a better forum, please feel free to refer me to it. I've got an application that calls dlopen(SO_NAME, RTLD_LAZY). dlopen is returning null and dlerror returns undefined symbol. The manpage basically says dlopen with RTLD_LAZY shouldn't have this problem. The same application on RedHat 6.x system doesn't have this problem. I'm running the current unstable dist of Debian (by current, I ran an apt-get dist-upgrade this morning). According to ldd, the application is using libdl-2.1.3.so, from version 2.1.3-10 of libc6. Is anyone else running into a similar problem? MO

Thanks! I don't think you can. It's easy to install the file you download (~100Meg BTW), just make the downloaded file executable and run it, with the option ``/net'' (NOT ``-net'') if you want to run it as user, without installing to your homedir. Do that as root of course. HTH Morten -- UNIX, reach out and grep someone!
using inetd to run arbitrary programs
I'm running a couple of tcp-pipes (ssh -L ...) to get around the fact that my ISP is not on the same network as my news/imap/ provider and so on. I've been starting these pipes at boot time (by calling the appropriate script in /etc/network/interfaces) and that works fine. But I thought I'd get clever and start them through inetd instead, so I don't have a bunch of ssh processes sitting around when I don't need them. I put the appropriate entries in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf and that seems to work: when I telnet to the given local port the tcp-pipe script is run. Only problem is, when the script finishes the telnet session says Connection closed and that's it. Presumably this is because inetd is designed for calling programs that handle the request, whereas I'm trying to use it to call an arbitrary script. How can I set things up so that inetd starts the tcp-pipe, puts the connection on hold until the tcp-pipe is set up (or for X number of seconds) and then lets the connection resume as if inetd had never existed? Also nice would be a feature whereby the tcp-pipe is shut down once there are no connections using it, or X number of seconds after the last such connection exited. -chris
Forwarding sent email-
I know that procmail can go through and forward someones email to them at another address while it still delivers it to there email box. But i am wanting to do the same on outgoing as well. Once someone sends out a email i want it to forward a copy of that outgoing email to another email address, preferable without them knowing about it. Any ideas?. Tom
Rescue Disks
Hi, I have been upgrading Xfree but something obviously went wrong as when I boot up now it hangs at the starting Xfontserver startup and does not even get to the login prompt. Before I blat over and reinstall debian is there an easy way of creating a set of rescue disks ? I just need to edit a startup file on my root disk. My system is booted from floppy and mounts the SCSI disc. At work we have a Debian system so if anyone knows of a shell script somwhere that I could use to create my file system on floppy that would be greatly appreciated (I know I could hack one up but we are flat out at work), if not it will only take an hour or so to reinstall :-( Thanks. Richard.

Man command
Hello I'm a newbie to Debian and I am having some problems with getting it to work properly (not many, but just a few). I can't find the man command on my system anywhere. This means that I can't read instructins for any packages which I download. Is there somewhere where I can download man (the manual command) from the Internet? It did not seem to come with the original configuration. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Patrick.
Question about MASQ chain behavior in ipchains
I'm confused by a couple points in the IPCHAINS-HOWTO (http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/IPCHAINS-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.4). Hope someone who understands this can clear this up. In the Serious Example, the Internal network is masqueraded to External via a chain jumped to from the FORWARD chain: --snip-- Good (internal) to Bad (external). ipchains -A good-bad -p tcp --dport www -j MASQ ipchains -A good-bad -p tcp --dport ssh -j MASQ ipchains -A good-bad -p udp --dport 33434:33500 -j MASQ ipchains -A good-bad -p tcp --dport ftp -j MASQ ipchains -A good-bad -p icmp --icmp-type ping -j MASQ ipchains -A good-bad -j REJECT -l --snip-- Then in the rules for the External interface, only certain ports appear to be let back in. I presume that the second and third rules with destination ports 61000:65095 are for returning masqueraded packets, eh? --snip-- Bad (external) interface. ipchains -A bad-if -i ! ppp0 -j DENY -l ipchains -A bad-if -p TCP --dport 61000:65095 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A bad-if -p UDP --dport 61000:65095 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A bad-if -p ICMP --icmp-type pong -j ACCEPT ipchains -A bad-if -j icmp-acc ipchains -A bad-if -j DENY --snip-- This example doesn't make clear to me what happens to packets from the Internal network when they're jumped to MASQ. Do they get a new port (in the range 61000:65095) in addition to the masqueraded ip address so that when they come back they get past the Bad interface to get demasqueraded? Or do they just go around the Bad interface because in some other fashion they're identified as masqueraded packets through something MASQ does? Just trying to grok what goes on here. TIA for any help! Stan

Planner/PIM/Calendar Packages
Hi all, I've been poking around Freshmeat and the Debian package list for Woody, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. What is it, you ask? I was wondering if there was a calendar/planner software that would allow one to enter appointments and tasks, then on any given day, print out a list of appointments and tasks for that day. At work we use Novell GroupWise, and it allows one to enter all sorts of info into a calendar, then print out a fancy page of tasks and appointments for that day. Anyone know if anything like this exists for Linux? TIA, Mark
waiter, potato to woody please, thank you
hello list, how can i upgrade 2.2 (potato) to woody (2.3??) source list and any suggestions that would make the transition happy. thankx, have a good weekend! -nick0
Re: waiter, potato to woody please, thank you
I did a straight replace of potato to woody in my sources.list for apt, then did an apt-get upgrade, followed by an apt-get install of all the packages remaining that weren't upgraded. And that worked perfectly fine for me. I believe the only possible issues in this is an Apache-SSL conflict between 2 different SSL packages, but I can't think of anything else. In terms of kernels I stayed with a 2.2 series kernel and will do so until 2.3/2.4 are more developed. Cheers, Corey J.
