Scaner (y configuración de Emacs)

Hola a todos. Tengo un problema un pelín pesadillo ya que me quiero quitar de encima. ¿Alguien ha probado a configurar un servidor con FreeS/Wan para que se conecten a él clientes con SecureRemote?. Según la documentación que he leido tanto en Chceckpoint como en freeswan.org sí se puede. Lo único que he conseguido hacer bien es la recompilación del kernel con IPSec.

Re: Errores en los CDs oficiales
El problema que tengo yo es que el md5sum tanto del primer disco como del segundo de i386 SI coincide con lo que me dice el ftp.hu.debian.org (de donde lo he bajado), pero al ver los ficheros el mc parece que falla. Pero también estoy pensando que puede que los programas que use mc para ver los paquetes deb sean incompatibles con la nueva forma de ver los paquetes deb. Puede que todo se arregle cuando instale la potato. De todas formas, al margen de los problemas con el mc. El propio programa apt-get (ya de potato) para realizar la instalación me falla en algún paquete de Xcommon. También pensé que podía estar mal grabado el CDROM, por eso quiero actualizar a potato montando directamente el fichero *.iso con la opción -o loop, pero estoy en ello porque no me vale entonces el procedimiento de multicd (porque parece que monta y desmonta CD pero no tiene en cuenta lo de la opción -o loop que yo necesitaría). Le tengo que decir al apt que lo tome de una lista de ficheros, y en eso estoy. Saludos.

Re: problemas :-? con ftp en PLIP. Consejo MODEMS
Pues mira Fermín, desesperado llevo yo una temporada con el mismo problema. Pregunté en los grupos del ecol y me dijeron que el problema estaba en la configuración de syslog, en el archivo /etc/syslog.conf, pero no creo que el problema sea ese. Hice una de esas pruebas estrictamente científicas que me caracterizan: copié el syslog.conf de una Suse que tengo instalada por ahí con conexión plip y que no me da problemas. Resultado: siguen los mensajes en la consola, con lo que eso fastidia. A ver si alguien nos ilumina. Por cierto, veo que hablas en tu mensaje de plip1... entonces o tienes más de una conexión plip o un kernel muy antiguo, porque el dispositivo debería ser plip0. Por si caso acuerdate de esto cuando compiles el kernel nuevo no vaya a ser que te pases -como hice yo- una tarde tratando de buscar el plip1 sin encontrarlo. Respecto a lo del módem cualquiera externo te puede valer. Mejor que no sea interno, no vayas comprar un tercer winmodem ;-) Repecto a los USB creo que no todos funionan.

desligar o hd
salve pessoal! tenho uma dúvida: antes de instalar o linux, ao desligar o computador (qdo aparecia a mensagem seu computador já pode ser desligado com segurança no windows) os HD's desligavam automaticamente antes de eu apertar o botão power. depois que eu instalei o linux pela primeira vez (q foi um slackware) ele nunca mais desligou o HD automaticamente, só qdo eu desligo o computador mesmo. depois disso eu ainda instalei outras distribuições linux e mesmo o windows, mas continua com o mesmo problema. alguém sabe resolver isso? não é prejudicial ao disco desligar o computador sem que ele tenha recolhido o cabeçote?

Re: Anyone else have CheapBytes CD trouble?
Yes, i had a similar problem over a year ago with Slink(2.1) i got a 2 cd set and not only did they only send me 1 cd out of the 2, the 1 cd they sent was useless, it was FULL of curropted archives. cheapbytes is cheap shit, they will never get my business again(they never returned calls or emails about my stuff), i suggest using www.linuxmall.com if you want cheap linux cds(i haven't had any problems with them yet) also i'd avoid CDRd cds as well as they are sometimes difficult to read in normal cdroms, getting the real pressed cds can take several weeks from release but it is worth the wait. nate Eric Hanchrow wrote: I just received my Debian 2.2 CDs from Cheapbytes -- 3 binary CD-ROMS.

Re: [Q] what do these portmap log entries mean?
Your example shows local IP addresses for the refused hosts, if this is the case it is possibly just network noise. Paranoid rant follows: The (unfortunately) more likely case is that you are being scanned for the latest statd vulnerability. If you have the latest nfs-common package you are safe (you should also have a kernel version of 2.2.16 minimum). I lost 50+ machines to this about a week ago (they were all shutdown before mr. skriptkiddie came back, but the break-in went through 6 class c subnets in about 3min setting up back doors) My particular instance setup root shells listening on port 199, entered in /etc/inetd.conf so you might want to look there and see if there's a suspicious smux line. This is what was done once they got root, not the vulnerability, so lack of this line may simply indicate a different use of it. If you have a new kernel an nfs-common Version: 1:0.1.9.1-1, no worries, you can just laugh the scan off (if that's what it was) On Thu, Aug 24, 2000 at 12:49:13PM +0900, Olaf Meeuwissen wrote: :Dear all, : :I've been seeing entries like below in my logs for a while. : : Aug 24 12:38:01 bilbo portmap[27641]: connect from 172.16.x.y to callit(390109): request from unauthorized host : Aug 24 12:38:04 bilbo portmap[27641]: connect from 172.16.x.y to callit(390109): request from unauthorized host : :and : : Aug 24 12:43:34 bilbo portmap[27659]: connect from 172.16.a.b to getport(300598): request from unauthorized host : :I've implemented a default deny-all policy in /etc/hosts.deny with : : ALL : ALL : :My /etc/hosts.allow effectively reads : : nmbd smbd : 172.16. : :From the log messages I assume that the portmap connect attempts fail :(as per policy), but what do these connect attempts mean?

thanks for your response. good thing my isp is acting as secondary
nameserver... your stuff is getting through, and visitors are finding
my websites...
my stuff wouldn't of gotten through until you fixed it..seems the
secondary NS wouldn't give out the MX record either, not sure why. I
looked into it and it seems that your secondary NS
OVCWEB1.SPEEDEX.NET, is not giving authoritative responses for your
domain. That could be why it didn't work when your NS was (effectivly)
down. Sounds like a configuration issue on your isp's end. Now I'm not a
DNS expert i can only compare responses between your servers and mine,
both my primary and secondary NS give authoritative responses for
domains hosted by me(but non authoritative responses for domains not
hosted by me) whereas your primary NS gives authoritative for your
domain(serensoft.com) but the secondary does not. I checked this using
'nslookup'.
lookie what i found in my named.conf, which i'd pasted from some
manpage/faq/howto i ran across eons ago, and i managed to
uncomment the 'allow' part... but hadn't ever 'ndc restart'ed...
allow-query { 192.168/16; 127.0.0.1; 208.33.90.85; };
i'm feeling much better, now.
Funny how rebooting/shutting down a unix box can cause problems like
this isn't it :)) I find it quite..ironic that such problems can arise.
a few weeks ago i upgraded one of my servers to 2.2.16(actually probably
more like a month or 2 ago), it was runnin fine for..25 days ..? then a
hdd overheated and the system crashed. the system would _NOT_ come back
up. a bug in 2.2.16 with raid caused the system to crash every time it
tried to come up. And if that wasn't enough theplace where it is
co-located at was closed! it took 3 days to get to the #$(# box! and
another hour to trakc down the problem and downgrade the kernel. All
because of a reboot

bad referral (state.il.us ! SOS.STATE.IL.US)
CATEGORY: response-checks
SEVERITY: info

FURTHER INFO:
Indicates that while querying the SOS.STATE.IL.US name servers, your
name server was referred to the state.il.us name servers. Since a
referral should always point to name servers authoritative for
descendant zones, this is an error. The name server that sent the
referral is probably misconfigured, and not authoritative for the zone
delegated to it.
So this could be tied to your ISP not giving authoritative responses for
your domain, and passing the request onto you(yes i am talking out of my
ass but it makes sense to me! :) )
i've had the 172.* denials ever since getting my dns registered
with internic, long before the 'allow-query' snag.
ask your ISP to fix your secondary NS. and see if the ping messages go
away..
so i should allow icmp? i think i'm using most of the defaults
from the impasq.deb package...
in most cases yes you probably should, it doesn't matter though, usually
i don't log icmp stuff, the logs can get big(and aren't very useful
IMO).

Code Page 437
Hello, I'm trying to set up Falken, a BBS program for Linux. It excessively uses ANSI graphics, in other words, ASCII text graphics done with characters from the Code Page 437 character set, with ANSI coloring. CP-437 is the same character set DOS uses and sometimes known as the IBM PC character set. My problem is Linux seems to use the Latin-1 character set, both on the console, and in xterms. Therefore ANSI graphics look corrupted, in both Falken, as well as viewing ANSI files (*.ans) and calling dial-up BBSs that make use of CP-437 (as most do) from minicom. How can I either start an xterm with the CP-437 character set, or set the console font for CP-437? As for console fonts, I can't find anything suitable in /usr/share/consolefonts/. Could anyone suggest a place to download CP-437 console fonts? As for xterms, I know about the '-fn' option, but I don't know how to find what fonts I have available in X. As I'm sure you all can tell, I don't know much about X. =) I would certainly prefer finding a way to use CP-437 in an xterm than in the console, as I mostly use X. DOSEMU's 'xdos' uses the correct font but I don't know if the font is part of X--and therefore accessible to xterm--or proprietary to xdos. I should note that I still use slink.

Problem installing Debian 2.2 from CD

I boot from the CD and start Setup without problem. I can partition my HD without problem. The problems begin during the Install Operating System Kernel and Modules'' step. I choose to install from the CD-ROM and Setup asks me for the path to the Debian archive. The default is /instmnt, where Setup automatically mounted the CD. I verified that the CD is correctly mounted from another virtual console while Setup is running. Setup asks me for the path to the images-1.44/rescue.bin. I choose the default, which seems to find the file at /instmnt/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/rescue.bin. Then Setup pops up an error message saying that it is unable to mount the rescue floppy. At this point, Setup is hosed. I cannot continue because Setup insists on finding a rescue floppy that does not exist. Why is Setup trying to find a rescue floppy on /dev/fd0 when I told it to install from the mounted CD-ROM?

3dfx Banshee installation
Hi, I'm relatively new to linux, so please excuse the naivety. I've recently installed potato, and I'm trying to add support for my 3dfx Voodoo Banshee card. I've found the 3dfx device driver on the CD and installed it, but it seems to need to be compiled into the kernel. So I found and installed the kernel source (v. 2.2.17), and unzipped it into /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17, and added a symlink from /usr/src/linux. All ok so far. But I then tried doing a make-kpkg modules_image from there (this was from the instructions somewhere... in /usr/share/doc/device3dfx I think), and there was an error - no .config file. Searching further, I eventually ran make menuconfig, which created the .config file. So I ran make-kpkg again, and this time it says I'm missing a file modversions.h. On a hunch I installed the kernel-headers-2.2.17 package, which seems to have the file in it, but since it installs into /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.17, it doesn't seem to be visible when I try to make from the /usr/src/linux dir.

It generated you mean you ran the so52-..-xx.bin file, right? two files in the home directory of every user that started the setup program, the files being .sversionrc and .user52.rdb. uhm, i'm almost sure i've never found those 2 files you mention .. but i'll check it. Having encountered the problem you mentioned, I removed all of SO's installation (/usr/local/office52 in my case), as well as the mentioned files. Then I installed it again with the /net switch. From that moment on, every user could do a workstation installation. To sum it up: 1) do a clean install with the /net switch this is my problem .. how do i do this? the so52-..-xx.bin file doesn't accept switch .. and after it's done, the setup script will not allow me to use the net switch. how do you do this? using the bin file or the script? i have the impression we don't have the same staroffice archive .. where did you get yours? 2) remove any existing configuration files in the home directories of the users that tried to install SO 3) run setup as user I did this without looking at existing doc, so my explanation may not be 100% accurate.

I downloaded the file ftp from an the au. mirror and it would not run. well, my problem is that it runs :) Then via netscape from Sun (after about four retrys and overwrites 'cos I am on a 33K dialup, finally it took eleven hours from 1am ;-(( ) and the file sizes were different. The one I have that works is so-5_2-ga-linux-en.bin 95333K the dud isditto100213K i'll try to check this .. i have one copy (so-5_2-ga-linux-it.bin) is quite smaller than yours .. 88M (91041856) .. i'll check the other one. just tried it again from an xterm and the install page has come up. All i did was make it executable and run it as root. Select the net option when it asks . HTH i hope so. can you please give me a step by step description of what you did? i'll try to download the same version that you use (i don't care if it's in english or italian) thanks for your time Marco Frattola (Pianificazione processi) - Cubecom S.p.A.

need help with installation
Hi there I'm installing Debian 2.1 (slink) via floppies on an IBM Thinkpad 360 with 12 MB RAM and 340 MB HDD. I was able to partition the hard drive and mount filesystems without any problem (I chose /dev/hda1 mounted on /, /dev/hda2 swap partition and /dev/hda3 on /usr). When I get to install the kernel and modules from the floppy, I get an error message: unable to mount the rescue floppy, followed by Floppy error! The attempt to extract the rescue floppy failed. I tried to mount it manually by launching a terminal and mounting /dev/fd0 but I got the message /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device. I have read the help files on the rescue floppy, and I noticed that some extra parameters may be needed for Thinkpads. However, the default installation doesn't seem to let you add any parameters. If you add parameters it seems to think you're going for a ramdisk installation, which I'm not. I want to use the floppies (rescue floppy, driver floppy, plus 7 installation floppies) to install slink on the hard drive. Can anyone help? Thanks, Jake PS I know a bit about GNU/Linux but I'm not an expert! (Otherwise I probably wouldn't be asking for help...) Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

max n of groups per user?
Hi! First - I'm new to the list. I used debian some time ago and now I'm thinking about installing it on a server machine at university. How many groups can a user have? I want to use a private groups concept with 300 users, and my admins must be members of all private groups because I want them to be able to r/w into the 2770ed-homes of the users - and avoid that one must change owner every time an admin has copied into a user's home. In SuSE, the number of groups is limited (AFAIK to 20), so I can't use this concept. What about debian? Thank you, CU, Lars.

Re: Code Page 437
Hi JP, I have a font that I think is what you are after, called VGA. It's actually a lot more readable that a lot of the standard X fonts, IMHO, but of course doesn't display all of the characters properly (I used to use it as my font for mutt in an Eterm). On my system, it's: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/vga.pcf if you do an xlsfonts|grep vga, you may already have it. I seem to recall having found it on the net somewhere originally, so you could try searching on google. This is only an X font, I don't know of any equivalent for the console. HTH, damon Quoth J.P. Larocque, Hello, I'm trying to set up Falken, a BBS program for Linux. It excessively uses ANSI graphics, in other words, ASCII text graphics done with characters from the Code Page 437 character set, with ANSI coloring. CP-437 is the same character set DOS uses and sometimes known as the IBM PC character set. My problem is Linux seems to use the Latin-1 character set, both on the console, and in xterms. Therefore ANSI graphics look corrupted, in both Falken, as well as viewing ANSI files (*.ans) and calling dial-up BBSs that make use of CP-437 (as most do) from minicom. How can I either start an xterm with the CP-437 character set, or set the console font for CP-437? As for console fonts, I can't find anything suitable in /usr/share/consolefonts/. Could anyone suggest a place to download CP-437 console fonts? As for xterms, I know about the '-fn' option, but I don't know how to find what fonts I have available in X. As I'm sure you all can tell, I don't know much about X. =) I would certainly prefer finding a way to use CP-437 in an xterm than in the console, as I mostly use X. DOSEMU's 'xdos' uses the correct font but I don't know if the font is part of X--and therefore accessible to xterm--or proprietary to xdos. I should note that I still use slink.

(also remember ssh will bitch about those unsecure permissions) now ignoring the above, adding an admin to 300 groups is both inefficient and silly, it would be better to simply set the permissions on the home directories to 770 group `users' and make the admins members of that group (or maybe group staff) however i would suggest going about this differently, give users a private group, but set the home directory permissions to 750 or 710 group users. make everyone a member of group users and put a directory ~/incoming with permissions like 3775 group users (or group staff if you only want admins to have writability here) (you can use /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local to take care of fixing the permissions when the user is created, see man adduser) i really think giving all the admins write permission to all users $HOME is a bad idea, what if one accidently runs rm -rf / as themself? ordinarily all that would remove is thier own files, but in your scheme every user on the system will lose data, you might as well have all your admins running around as root all the time.

problem with installation
Hi I'm new to the list - I've joined to get some help with installation! I have an IBM Thinkpad 360 with 12 meg RAM and 340 meg HDD. It only has a floppy drive so I downloaded the floppy images (for slink). I booted the rescue floppy and got as far as partitioning the hard drive and mounting the filesystem (I mounted /dev/hda1 on /, /dev/hda2 as swap, and /dev/hda3 on /usr). But when I get to install the kernel and modules, I get an error mounting the rescue floppy. I tried to mount it manually by firing up a console, but it told me "/dev/fd0 is not a valid block device". I did notice in the help pages on the rescue floppy that Thinkpads may need some extra parameters when booting, but if I try any of them it seems to think I'm going for a ramdisk option and asks me for a root floppy. Of course I'm trying to install to the hard drive, but it only seems to want to do that as the default installation, which doesn't seem to accept any parameters. Any ideas? I know a bit about GNU/Linux from other distributions but I'm new to Debian. Thanks, Jake
