Subject: [linux-security] Perl script to locate F0 0F C7 C8 bombs (fwd)
There is no known fix to the F0 0F C7 C8 bug at this time. What can be
done, however, is run a program, such as the script after my signature, to
locate any and all such programs. This script can be used in single
user mode after a mysterious lockup on a multiuser Pentium system.
I hope it is possible to come up with a software fix for this problem.

Disapearing /dev/tty0's
I have had an interesting problem rear it's ugly head two times now .. my /dev/tty0's get SNAFUed for some reason. This is what they look like normally: tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450 tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A tty03 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16450 BUT two times now, this has happened when the system boots up: tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450 tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16450 tty03 disapears and with it gone .. the mouse works but if I type pon to dial up the modem doesn't work and the mouse freezes and I have to reboot to get it back. Several reboots and the tty's go back to normal and everything works again. It has me befuddled. Anyone have any ideas?

Printing Problems
Installed lpr and aspfilter ... but when I try to print I get this message: 'waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)' I have tried /dev/lp0 through 4 and it still says that the printer isn't ready when it is. Could it be because I am going from the printer port to the zip drive to the printer? Other system I set up was remote printing so I didn't deal with this. Any ideas? Chad -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Chad D.

Installed Applix the other night. I like it just as much as Office95/97 little slow on my system ... but I will be upgrading it in a couple of months. As for file importing and exporting ... Applix Words can bring in almost everything that word and wordperfect can open/import. It does not like nor will it open fast save documents though .. comes up with an incompatable format error. Exporting is nice too ... rtf and word, html, word perfect (down to version 3 on both I think) and several other formats. I have been using the rtf format lately. On the whole .. I like it a lot better that StarOffice (which decided to stop working) .. I havn't tried bring a staroffice file into applix yet .. that will be next test I guess.

SNAFU system
I had an interesting problem develop .. would almost say overnight, but I don't think so. I hadn't used my system for 3 days and the other night we had the worst thunderstorm (and the first of them) this summer. I did a shutdown -h now before the storm took out power. It was down a day and last night I fired it back up. I noticed it couldn't find some modules in the kernel, like vfat and some other file system types. When I login, I get addition chars when I type. The 5 and 6 keys put out something like this h6 and g5 the - gives me '- the G key is 5g and I think the H is something like 6h. Also the esc key would complete what ever I was typing ... now it doesn't and it just beeps at me. This happens in both console and xwindows, so I am at a loss what could have caused all this to happen. Any ideas? Would like to have my system back to working order :} Chad -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Chad D.

Re: Weekly log reporting system for apache?
There is Analog that is a .deb package under net or web on the ftp sites. It does an OK job, personally, I use a perl script program called Accesswatch as far as I know it is not a .deb package. It is at http://accesswatch.com/ next to nothing in configuration is needed and it runs without a cgi-bin (I have it set in the cron to run at 11:45 every night). That is it's one drawback, it is a daily program, it doesn't do it weekly or monthly ... maybe ask the author for a version to do that next release.

[somewhat off topic] Javascript bug
I just found out about this javascript bug that affects both IE and NS. They say it works on all versions on NS (linux/unix/windows/mac) I have checked it on the mac.. and it does work there. Will check the linux version once I get home tonight. Unless someone beats me to it. This is more a security issue than anything else. The artcile url is below and NS has a patch out already. http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C12282%2C00.html Chad -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Chad D.

Way to set up a MacFiles virtual drive?
Way back when I was working at one of my older jobs we used Macs and UNIX stations. Our unix accounts had a MacFiles directory that allowed a mac to connect to it like it was a regular mac drive. Now at my new job I am using Mac and Linux systems. Is there a way I can add MacFiles support to my system? I saw several mac programs, but non had MacFiles listed. Is there a MacFiles or will I have to use something else to accomplish this?

Re: Books on Debian
Almost sorta supprised that noone has mentioned the DBP (Debian Book Project) that I had started a few months back. URL is in sig. Mainly I started it for 2 main reasons, which are: 1) Publicity - I have seen about 12 books on linux (have 4 of them) they cover SlackWare and RedHat, well the new "Unleashing Linux" has a small section on Caldera's OpenLinux Lite. But for the most part it is only about those two. I found Debian myself by accident, otherwise I would be running RedHAd since that was the only dist. I had .. other than Slack which I had used before and disliked. It is known that Debian is mainly popular by word of mouth advertising. Most the people that do a first time instalation will go and buy a book on it, they have two choices; Slackware or RedHat .. I want to give them a third choice on the shelf: Debian 2) Documentation - I am one of them that "Old fashioned peopele" I liike to read printed materal rather than on a computer screen ... don't want to get any more blind ;) Personally, I would like to have everything I need printed together is an ordered, human readable format (Some of the howto's and man pages take 10 to 15 readings just to know what on earth they are doing). Mainly a book would be geared to the first time / begining debian user. People just feel more comfortable having a refernce book they can always refer back to. There are quite a few debian centered changes to this version of Linux; the main one being the install. 6 disks vs 30 or so ... Well, this is all from this jabber mouth .. I have webmaster type job thing to get back to now. Chad P.S. I am on IRC is anyone wants to talk to me .. either on an undernet server or the linpeople.org server in the channel #Debian .. I go by WildOne- there. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Chad D.

I have yet to see any books on the market that do more than mention Debian. That is why I am working on the Debian Book Project.

Re: Starwiter
I get that too once and a while with the StarOffice stuff as well. And I figured out what it was with me ... and it may be the same for you.
