Re: Hello Nethelpers [SSH / PUTTY]Strange behaviour with telnetd

2006-06-30 Thread jbmorla








Hi, sorry I don’t understand how the mailing list
works.

 

Should I reply directly from my mail client : gmail in
IE6 ?

Or should I do what I do now, reply to my own thread in the list
itself ?

 

Anyway you wrote :

 

« which is decoded
automatically by the SSH daemon on the Debian side. »

 

How could sshd automatically decode data sent by the PuTTY
session

If it does not have the key to do it ?

 

I have one ssh manual, 2 ssh howto, the complete sshd man
pages,

The complete 7000 lines of PuTTY printed documentation,

 But I can’t find where they deal with having
duplicate of the same encrypted key

On both client and server.

If at any moment the encrypted key travels across the
network through the router/bridge,

Which has a private ip on the internet,

Then a cracker might sniff it.

 

Please be patient, I’m pretty dumb for starters

Later it gets worse ;-)

 

Regards,

When you installed SSH it should have made it's own host keys.
Same for PuTTY.


PuTTY only connects via SSH when the line: telnetd is in inetd.conf not

copy it to the other machine?


By default PuTTY only wants to use SSH -- this is a good thing =)


So far I understand that both pc must have the same private key in order
to encrypt/decrypt data traveling over ethernet?


You don't need to copy anything -- your session key and PuTTY on XP
encrypts the message sent to the Debian server; which is decoded
automatically by the SSH daemon on the Debian side.  The first time
you connect it will say Unknown host "Do you want to add this sesson
permanently?"  If you have just set it up and basically trust it then
you say yes and you are done.

If you DONT trust it and want to copy the Debian key to "known hosts"
for PuTTY XP -- you just ned to read the PuTTY docs a little closer =)

SSH  encrytion, similar to TLS,  creates an end-to-end encryption
"tunnel" between the PuTTY app and the sshd on the Debian server.

I don't see why not, but I'm not familiar with the woody->sarge
migration. Generally though, in my experience, a sufficient number of
apt-get updates && apt-get dist-upgrades usually works (going from
mixed testing/unstable to unstable). There seems to be an effort to
move more people to using aptitude and that's probably why its
recommended. But if you are familiar with apt-get, I can't see the
harm in it. Now, if you've been using aptitude all along, you'll
likely lose of the automatic package flagging that aptitude does... 

ymmv.

RE: cannot install aptitude: Broken packages

2006-06-30 Thread Chase James
Would changing all mentions of woody to sarge in my apt/sources.list then
doing a dist-upgrade fix the problem:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2-3.2
E: Broken packages

I know the Release Notes say to use aptitude, but could I just use apt-get
instead? Could my package system unbreak itself if I just dist-upgraded to
sarge with apt-get?

OK, I installed the meta-package, and the latest kernel is being installed.  
I'll have to remember that for future server setups.

So it appears that the security page just wasn't properly updated.

Thanks again for the pointers.

Right...understand that.  The systems are ones I recently took over, so I'll

But the fact still stands that DSA-1103 still hasn't showed up on 
http://www.debian.org/security/2006/ which leads me to believe there has been

Get a Linux Boot CD that matches your system -- i386, PPC, etc.
I would suggest a FC5 Rescue CD.  Boot off it.

If you are using a FC5 rescue CD - at the linux prompt type:
linux rescue [Hit Enter]

Follow the on-screen instructions -- do not start networking, do mount
any partitions it finds as Read-Write.

At the # prompt cd to the /mnt/sysimage/etc  directory and type:
nano shadow [Hit Enter]

The first line is root; the junk you see between the first two colons
( : ) is the md5digest password -- delete it so that the first section
of the first line looks like this:

root::soemtotherstuff...

Hit Ctrl-X and save the file.

At the # prompt type
exit [Hit Enter]

The system should boot and there will no longer be a root password;
you can sign in as root and change it using this procedure:

Ctrl-Alt-F1
User: root [Hit Enter]
password: [Hit Enter]

At the # prompt type
passwd [Hit Enter]

Now just enter a password you can live with -- keep in mind security
issues ect if you choose an easily guessed password.

Delanna:

The first suggestion is very good, but you may not realize what is involved.
Since you have gotten your question onto this email list, you must have
access to the web on some other computer than the one you have just purchased.
I suggest that you look at www.debian.org all the data that you need to follow
the suggestion is available there. And there is a wealth of information on
what Debian is, and how to use it. 

It may seem overwhelming if you are not familiar with Linux, but with help
from this email list, you can do what has been suggested. You need to download
a file from that web site and 'burn' it onto a CR-rom. Then you need to use
that CD-rom to install a new copy of the Debian software onto the computer.
You will get a clean new set of software, without personal stuff of the 
previous owner (his pornographic images, or whatever). 

Others may chime in on this with better suggestions, but this is a realistic
suggestion. Your money has not been wasted.

Why not download the latest netinstall ISO image (or CD1 image), wipe

Looks like you've already sorted it by using the older 'login' package,
but just to be clear on the above: you need to call the script *in the
chroot*, e.g.

dchroot -d -c unstable somescriptname

where somescriptname is a wrapper for the executable.

Hello All,

I have just install debian, but can't find the location where the IPTable

I wrote my own script, /etc/init.d/local with a symlink in 
/etc/rcS.d/S99local.  I read somewhere where this is the way to do it 
for Debian.  Previously (and still?) in RedHat, Mandrake the script was 
in /etc/sysconfig. I also have alternate scripts which I run manually 
in ./local/sbin.  There are some good ideas on these scripts in 
?linux.debian.security?

Ok, perhaps I've been a bit sparse on informations.

Kernel: 2.6.15-1-486
Distro: Etch
Soundcard: Sound Blaster Audigy SE
chipset: CA0106

I'm using the alsa-driver from Debian, and I have installed alsa-base
and alsa-utils and alsa-libs

   


are you using the right chip? if you read the adequate webpages on the
alsa-website you can see that different soundblaster_cards need
different chips. maybe that is the problem?

I myself prefer to compile/install the driver-source (--tar.gz) as root
in/from the directory /usr/source/alsa directly into the kernel. that
works only if you install your kernelheaders and get rid of a small
'lockup-file' within lib/modules/kernel &&.
install as root alsa-libs and alsa-utils as well. on this way I got a -
really good!- sound immediately out of my soundblaster-card. the
on_board intel8x0 sound chip seems to confuse, when turned on *together*
with the soundblaster_card, my audio_programs. that 's the reason i
turned it off.
 


I think I would make it a module, perhaps because compiling it into the
kernel seems to be to difficult for me, but ...

   


by the way: did you put snd-ca0106 in /etc/modules ?
 


no, I will do so, and reboot.
   



Now I have output. White noise. When there is sound output (for example
from xmms) there is white noise in the speakers. That is, if I un-check
SPDIF-Out in GNOME-alsamixer.

It points in the direction of compiling a new driver. Is there somewhere
a guide to do that?


 

...yes, there is. look for the driver_page on the alsa_website. as i 
remember well, it is easy to find a detailed instruction how to build a 
new driver into your [etch_]kernel.


i have two hd's on my [simple] machine. one production_hd with stable 
and one experimental hd with unstable; the last for fun and out of 
curiosity.


before this i 'ran' etch a certain time and i never was quite content 
with the 2.6.15 (?) kernel, with gave on my machine some 
hardware_problems with the sound_output.  so i dist_upgraded to unstable 
and installed kernel 2.6.16; and all troubles were gone. so it *could* 
be some hardware incompatability.


in your place i should start to try to install as root the alsa-driver 
into the kernel-modules which might seem scaring but is rather standard 
because alsa does much of the work for you. alsa version 1.0.11 contains 
updated, good working ca0106_software. under *etch* as i remember well, 
the bug in the *debian*-version of the alsa_ca0106_chip was not yet 
repaired. i should combine this with installing the alsa-libs and the 
alsa-utils of the same alsa-version, 1.0.11 (the last).


i guess you might want to try this out yourself. if not, i am, of 
course, if you wish so,  prepaired to write to you the exact procedure i 
followed to get my soundblaster_card in working order. this last work i 
can do tomorrow-evening, because we are on a trip the rest of the day.

Okay, here is something from that page:
___
As a workarround, you can set the SU_NO_SHELL_ARGS environment variable
before calling dchroot, or execute
dchroot -- -c "command"
instead of
dchroot -- command
___

How do I set the SU_NO_SHELL_ARGS env var?  "set SU_NO_SHELL_ARGS=1" doesn't 
help.
And I already am using the -c option for dchroot to specify the unstable chroot.

And you say write a script, so I put the following in ~/go
___
#!/bin/bash
dchroot -d -c unstable ls
___
but I get the same error when I run "./go".

Thanks for your help!

dchroot with sid

2006-06-30 Thread Owen Heisler
I have a 32-bit sid chroot installed at /var/chroot/unstable-ia32 on my
amd64 Sarge system.

But I get this error with any command:

# dchroot -d -c unstable ls
(unstable) ls
/bin/ls: /bin/ls: cannot execute binary file
dchroot: Child exited non-zero.
dchroot: Operation failed.

I used the amd64 howto to do this, and started with a sarge
installation, then upgraded to etch, then sid.  At etch, I started
getting this error.

I have copied /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group into the chroot.

I have modified /etc/fstab (on the "host" 64-bit) to
include /var/chroot/unstable-ia32/home, tmp, and proc.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

POSIX ACLs on Debian

2006-06-30 Thread Jean-Sebastien Pilon
Hi all, 

I would like to implement POSIX ACLs on a Debian server. 

The partition is formatted with ReiserFS. 

I am using the default 2.4 kernel in 3.1r2 (2.4.27-2-386)

I understand that POSIX ACLs were introduced with 2.6 kernels.

I see that Debian most likely patched the 2.4 kernel for POSIX ACLs 

# cat /boot/config-2.4.27-2-386 | grep POSIX
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL=y

But ReiserFS seems to be missing. Can I get it to work with that 2.4
kernel?? 

Or can I install a ReiserFS/POSIX ACLs enabled kernel without having to
compile anything?

Thanks for your help.

I would lower the priorities for testing and unstable, if you really 
want to be sure to track only stable.  By default, apt assigns a 
priority of 100 to packages that are already installed.  Therefore, 
giving testing and unstable priorities of less than 100 will ensure that 
you won't inadvertently install a package from testing or unstable.  For 
example:


Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 90

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 80

It's not, strictly speaking, necessary, but it might prevent an oopsie.

Hi

It can be done with iproute... iproute packages is in the main archive of 
Debian

The command is "tc"

But I'm not sure it's more easy than iptables !!!

Maybe, you can have a look at WonderShaper: http://lartc.org/wondershaper/

It's not the main goal of this script, but you can use it for what you 
want by change the "speed" values to your values on the start of the 
script.

dsl_qos_queue is what I use for outbound traffic control.  Works quite well.

Not sure if it can be manipulated into help with down steam traffic..

Re: [OT]laptop memory and slot

2006-06-30 Thread Gnu-Raiz
My wife has a 600m from Dell, if the memory slot is going out, I 
would advise you to run memtest 86 to check the memory. I would 
also advise you to run the Dell diagnostics as your haddrive might 
need to be checked as well.

Just for your information my wife's 600m is on it's third 
motherboard. For some reason they like to overheat and fail if you 
do any massive calculations on them.  I can not even run RC5-72 as 
it tasks the cpu and overheats the board. 

I would also be careful as that could be a sign of a failing 
motherboard. I would hate to have you buy a stick of memory and 
then in a week or two have the board fail.

As regarding your memory, any good stick should be able to down 
clock, so if you have a good stick of pc 2700 it should be able to 
run at pc 2100 levels.  I would stay away from no name memory, as 
this could make you have even more problems. 

If it were me I would not even bother with the upgrade as I believe 
your motherboard is on shakey ground as it is. If you have an 
extended warranty I would use it. I would also check the harddrive 
and check if you have excessive heat coming from the ports on the 
back. When all my motherboards failed, the ports on the back would 
get very hot almost to burning to the touch, then it would cook the 
harddrive, as it's slot is above the board and takes tremendous 
heat as it is.  Also I would check your batteries as some were 
recalled for excessive heat build up.

I would consider the 600m a suppar notebook, sure it has the nice 
battery life when new as well as the Pentium M chip, but it's a 
lemon.  I would hate to see someone put even more money into it, if 
it shows signs of failing.

Re: IPTables Location

There isn't one.

The closest thing to it is the /var/lib/iptables/active file. You can
create this by first adding the firewall rules by hand (or through a
script) and then running:

iptables-save > /var/lib/iptables/active

This file will then get loaded on startup, or when you run:

invoke-rc.d iptables start

Alternatively, create your own script and symlink it into /etc/rc2.d.
This is my preferred solution.


Hope this helps,

Ok, perhaps I've been a bit sparse on informations.

Kernel: 2.6.15-1-486
Distro: Etch
Soundcard: Sound Blaster Audigy SE
chipset: CA0106

I'm using the alsa-driver from Debian, and I have installed alsa-base
and alsa-utils and alsa-libs

   


are you using the right chip? if you read the adequate webpages on the
alsa-website you can see that different soundblaster_cards need
different chips. maybe that is the problem?

I myself prefer to compile/install the driver-source (--tar.gz) as root
in/from the directory /usr/source/alsa directly into the kernel. that
works only if you install your kernelheaders and get rid of a small
'lockup-file' within lib/modules/kernel &&.
install as root alsa-libs and alsa-utils as well. on this way I got a -
really good!- sound immediately out of my soundblaster-card. the
on_board intel8x0 sound chip seems to confuse, when turned on *together*
with the soundblaster_card, my audio_programs. that 's the reason i
turned it off.
 


I think I would make it a module, perhaps because compiling it into the
kernel seems to be to difficult for me, but ...

   


by the way: did you put snd-ca0106 in /etc/modules ?
 


no, I will do so, and reboot.
   



Now I have output. White noise. When there is sound output (for example
from xmms) there is white noise in the speakers. That is, if I un-check
SPDIF-Out in GNOME-alsamixer.

It points in the direction of compiling a new driver. Is there somewhere
a guide to do that?

Hi :-)
freebsd development it isn't the same of linux

Can u use google for do a hardware search

es. Laptop

or see a /usr/src/your_kernel and read the documentation about linux's 
support.

I'm certainly no hardware expert, but looks like Crucial
(www.crucial.com) is recommending PC2700 memory for the Inspiron 600m, 
and they have a money-back guarantee.  I bought some memory from them
last summer and was very satisfied.

yes they are used by windows (NTFS) and I omitted them.

Sure might be.  Deephay said that he copied his /etc/fstab file from
another machine, though.  Given that his initial question is about
/etc/fstab, it makes sense to double-check it.

Mine too--my take was that he copied over /etc/fstab while the system
was still running; tried to boot, but couldn't; booted using the
LiveCD's root partition; mounted the hard disk; fixed /etc/fstab; then
tried to boot without the LiveCD.

It would certainly have been possible to boot from the LiveCD, but using
the hard disk's root partition.  Was that your take on the matter?
