Problem with shadow passwd, MD5 crypt and XDM
Hi, I just enable shadow password on our server (debian 1.3.1). I activate the MD5 encryption in /etc/login.defs . If the user change their password, they can't loggin on the console (with xdm-shadow 3.3) but by telnet they can access the station. So, where is the problem? After enabling shadow-password, i update xbase to install xdm-shadow. However, i kept the old configuration files of xdm. Thanks for your help.

kernel message : Possible flooding ???
Hi, In the file /var/log/kern.log, I have the message like that : Nov 18 05:08:49 poynting last message repeated 2 times Nov 18 05:10:50 poynting kernel: Warning: possible SYN flooding. Sending cookies. Nov 18 05:10:59 poynting kernel: Warning: possible SYN flooding. Sending cookies. Nov 18 05:10:59 poynting kernel: validated probe(3103d184, 5a4ccb84, 33166, 20100, 1878646017) This message is repeated a lot of time. What is the meaning of this message? This week, a user (we actively search him) use our server to attack and crash a other server on the net. Today, our own server crash. We think that the crash was a strike back. So, the kernel message about a possible flooding could be related to our hacker war?

shutdown doesn't umount properly one of my partitions
Hi, I have debian 1.3.1, kernel 2.0.30 and SysVinit 2.71-2 I have 3 partitiond: hda1 --> swap 50 megs hda2 --> root 1.1 gigs hdc1 --> users 3.2 gigs The partition hdc1 is never cleanly umount i.e. on every boot process, the filesystem of hdc1 is checked and this took a lot of time... This appen whatever i use to shutdown (reboot, shutdown -r, halt). However, the filesystem of hdc1 appear to be correct, the forced check on the boot process on hdc1 never found anything bad with the filesystem. Anyone know how to fix the problem?

Re: just how bad is Fortran?
Your right, f77 is much more performant in intensive numerical computations than c or c++, at least on SGI (IRIX). For example, on a Indigo 2, a version of a code in f77 have a peak performance of 270 MFLOPS. The same code in c/c++ peak at 100 MFLOPS. Ok, maybe the c/c++ version could be more optimized but the fact is with f77 it's easy to obtain a very performant code, so why use c/c++ and lose a lot of time to write a obscur, tricky and slow program?

Re: CDROM with DOSish hidden files?
You can found rumba on: ftp://hal.kph.tuwien.ac.at/pub/NeXT/tools/rumba/ Personnally, i never used smbmount. If a problem occur during the connection our linux box (kernel 2.0.27) crash few hours or few days after. With Win95, a connection problem occur often. So, if i used smbmount, i reboot our linux box right after to prevent any crash.

Re: CDROM with DOSish hidden files?
Hi, if you have a windows station on your network and samba installed on your linux box, put your cd-rom in cd-rom drive of the windows station, share the drive on the network and mount the drive on your linux box. To mount the drive you can used smbmount (provided by the debian package ksmbfs), smbclient or rumba (not available in debian package yet but rumba is the better choice). On user level, you can used smbclient smbclient didn't mount a drive, it's more like a ftp connection. On su level you can use smbmount, smbmount isn't available in user level because smbmount used kernel code, so if smbmount crash, the kernel crash... rumba is like smbmount but without kernel code, no risk to crash linux. To use this commands, the syntax is: smbclient host_name_\\drive_name_on_the_network ex: smbclient young\c-young smbmount //host_name/drive_name_on_the_network mount_point ex: smbmount //young/c-young /young /young must be a empty directory on the linux box rumba //host_name/drive_name_on_the_network ex //young/c-young /young /young must be a empty directory on the linux box Good luck, Dany Dionne Physics Department Laval University, Canada On Sun, 22 Jun 1997, Heiko Schlittermann wrote: > Hi out there, > > sure, not very Debian specific, but this is the list I expect > the fastest answer from > > I'd like to copy (for private use, of course) a CDROM.

Can I emulate a Windows NT server?
Hi, I would like to know if Linux can emulate a windows NT server. We will have soons 4 new stations on Windows NT and we woulk like to have users accounts on these machines. To doing that, we can mount one of this station on Windows NT server. However, all the users accounts (~80 accounts) are already open on our Debian box. So, if we can used our Debian box to pass the account to our windows NT station, we will not have to duplicate the accounts on a other computer. The administration of this accounts will be also most easy. Right now, our Debian box is seen like a windows 95 station by our real windows 95 stations. We can access our Debian box without problem in Win95. However, our win95 stations aren't protected by any users accounts, they are free of access. We have the most recent version of samba and ksmbfs from unstable installed on our Debian box. Thanks in advance for your help, Dany Dionne Physics Department Laval University, Canada

problem with netscape and man2html
Hi, i found a strange problem with netscape and man2html. If i used netscape (3.0 and 4.0b2 for win95) to access man2html, man2html didn't appear to work correctly. However, with internet explorer 3.01, everything run well, for example, i able to access the man page of the ls command. With netscape, the same things is impossible, netscape return only the error message : Document contains no data. More strange, in some case, like with the afterstep man page, Netscape is able to read the man page correctly. Anyone understand something to that?
