Problem using library libssl

2011-09-01 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
Hi all,
I have a problem about gcc not finding a library and its symbols. I link
my very simple test program against libssl using -lssl and the linker
emit a lot of errors about symbols not found. These are symbols from
libcrypto.so, but they should be automatically found since libssl.so
require libcrypto.so (it is listed by ldd /usr/lib/libssl.so).

Please note my program does only use a symbol from libssl and nothing
from libcrypto. This is the source:

char SSL_library_init();
int main ()
{
 return SSL_library_init();
}

I know that on a fresh debian installation this works without any
problem.

The error I get are:

$ gcc -o conftest  conftest.c -lssl 
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libssl.so: undefined 
reference to `BIO_pop@OPENSSL_1.0.0'
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libssl.so: undefined

/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libssl.so: undefined 
reference to `sk_free@OPENSSL_1.0.0'
[... many other similar ...]

I get the same error with gcc-4.4, gcc-4.5, and gcc-4.6. May this be due
to same gcc configuration file? Or is it more probably a linker problem
(maybe some files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/)?

Any idea about possible solutions?

Thanks,
Giuseppe

ipsec problem

2004-10-19 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
Hi,
I am facing a problem with my first installation of IPSec, and I need some
hint :-)

I have one firewall that also does ipsec. It is a Sarge machine, with
openswan, that protects a LAN with addresses 192.168.10.0/24.

I installed a client machine, still Sarge with same software, that should
be able to connect to the first machine. Both machines have a public IP.

When the connection starts, it seems that everithing is okay, but then,
when I  connect from the client to the one server inside the LAN, I see
that the client machine is sending all packets not encripted directly to
the internet provider. Since they are using private IPs the provider drops
the packets.

client config is
-
config setup
klipsdebug=all
plutodebug=none
interfaces=ipsec0=ppp0 ipsec1=eth1
nat_traversal=yes
virtual_private=%v4:10.0.0.0/8,%v4:172.16.0.0/12,%v4:192.168.0.0/16

rightsubnet=192.168.10.0/24
rightcert=vpn.clamp.it.pem
rightrsasigkey=%cert
rightprotoport=17/1701
authby=rsasig
auto=start
-

server config is
-
conn vpn1-l2tp
left=YY.YY.YY.YY
leftnexthop=YY.YY.YY.ZZ
leftsubnet=192.168.10.0/24
leftcert=vpn.clamp.it.pem
leftrsasigkey=%cert
right=%any
rightsubnet=vhost:%no,%priv
rightcert=vpn1.clamp.it.pem
rightrsasigkey=%cert
authby=rsasig
compress=no
disablearrivalcheck=no
keyingtries=3
keylife=24h
ikelifetime=5h
auto=start
-

XX.XX.XX.XX is the client public address
YY.YY.YY.YY is the server public address
YY.YY.YY.ZZ is the server default gateway.

Once I start the connection, I get, on the client, to this status:

casa:/etc# ipsec auto --status

when I try to connect from the client to one machine in the LAN I always
get some timeouts.

So, I checked the routing table:

casa:/etc# ip route
192.168.100.1 dev ppp0  proto kernel  scope link  src XX.XX.XX.XX
default via 192.168.100.1 dev ppp0
casa:/etc#

So I am probably missing some ruote.

I found, in /var/log/auth.log this message, when ipsec starts, this error
about routing (before the connection start):

 What does it mean ?

It means that you have the variable LANG set up to an unsupported value for the

Check if you have this file: /usr/share/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo

See 'man bash' and look for 'LANG' to know a little bit more.

Re: out of ptys

1999-03-24 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
pty (pseudo terminal?) are linux devices defined in some quantity compiling the
kernel. If you find this a problem then you do have to recompile the kernel
increasing this amount.

They are used when a program needs a device where to write to and read from,
but this shoudn't be a real terminal. A real terminal is something like a
vt100, a pseudo terminal is, for example, an xterm window.

Re: Inquiry informations

Well... since you ask in debian-user then the best linux distribution is the
Debian 2.1 slink that you can find in Italy at ftp.unina.it, most of the the
documentation about linux is in the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) at
http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP

For the graphical interface you just have to choose mainly between kde and
gnome.

Have a look also at the debian-italian mailing list and the pluto project
(ftp.unipd.it).

Re: firewall question

Weel, we have all our data available in a web server, so we'd like to browse

when the user outside the firewall ask to connect via https://
then the firewall can ask the client to autenticate himself.
the daemon should pop up and ask the user for login and password
and then the daemon will send to the firewall the login and demo (also via ssl)
so the firewall will let the first client connection connects to the
web server.

exim and DNS

1998-11-27 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
Hi peolples,
I have a problem running exim.

I am working on a side of a firewall that have a dns inside. We have a
pop3/smtp mailhost outside of this firewall that is not listed in our
DNS, so we use th set up our mail reader (Netscape for instance) with
the ip address af the externam mailhost machine.
We also have a domain for our e-mails.

I am now trying to set up a linux box inside of the firewall just for
personal usage. I set up exim to handle locally e-mail from me to me,
and I specified to send every message without domain to our mailhost
using the smartuser driver:

smartuser:
driver = smartuser
new_address = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

then I modified my /etc/hosts to include the mailhost host.

Now the problem: if I use ping or telnet or ftp then I can connect to
mailhost, but exim can't connect to mailhost because he just try to get
the address from the DNS. It seems to me that exim doesn't look at the
/etc/hosts file.

Is it true? Should I became DNS myself?

Thanks,

Re: Wordperfect + Debian 2.0

1998-09-22 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
 Has anybody tried to install Wordperfect on Debian 2.0. I know it is possible 
 to install it on 1.3 with libc5, but what about 2.0 (with libc6).

I installed it, I have libc5-compat. All went fine.

Bye,
Giuseppe


Re: DHCP on boot

1998-09-22 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
Are you talking about the client or the server?

If you are talking about the client then you should have installed
(automatically, from dhcpcd*.deb) a script in /etc/init.d/ that will start the
client at boot time. But if you have a PCMCIA network card you should set
DHCP=y in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts.

Bye,
Giuseppe


Postgresql refure to connect

1998-09-16 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
Hi,
I have just installed the postgresql DBMS from debian hamm.
I am trying to play a little with it, but at the first attempt I get this
error:

hsogso:~# psql
Connection to database 'template1' failed.
FATAL 1:  SetUserId: user root is not in pg_shadow
hsogso:~# uname -a
Linux hsogso 2.1.120 #16 Wed Sep 9 14:36:32 CEST 1998 i586 unknown
hsogso:~#

Where do I create postgres users? I checked that the standard configuration
should permit everyone to connect. But I didn't find anything about pg_shadow.
What is it?

And then, after reboot I cannot start the server:
hsogso:/tmp# /etc/init.d/postgresql start
Starting PostgreSQL postmaster
FATAL: StreamServerPort: bind() failed: errno=13
Is another postmaster already running on that port?
If not, remove socket node (/tmp/.s.PGSQL.portnr)and retry.
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster: cannot create UNIX stream port
hsogso:/tmp# ls -la /tmp
total 4
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root 1024 Sep 16 00:21 .
drwxr-xr-x  21 root root 1024 Sep  6 10:36 ..

drwxrwxrwt   2 root root 1024 Sep 16 00:21 .X11-unix
hsogso:/tmp#

And, if I execute strace postmaster start, then I get this final output:

298   socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)   = 4
298   setsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
298   bind(4, {sun_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path=/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432}, 20) = -1 
EACCES (Permission denied)
298   write(2, FATAL: StreamServerPort: bind() ..., 165) = 165
298   write(2, /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmast..., 67) = 67
298   _exit(1)  = ?

Anybody can help me?

Thanks,
Giuseppe

Hi Nicolai,
I thank you very much for explaining that I have to use the postgres user. I
will.

About the second problem you said thet I should delete the file in
/tmp/.s.PGSQL.portnr but this file does not esists! This is the problem. I am
not sure but I think that the /tmp directory is completely cleaned during
system startup.

If you just need to read e-mails from pop3 and you don't want to install new

xterm menu problem

1998-09-10 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
Hi all,
I have installed a debian 2.0 slink with kernel 2.1.120.
On this system, but the problem was still in 1.3.1 or 2.0 hamm, I have a
strange behaviour of xterm.

When I try to change the font size, using the control+rightmouseclick then I
get a menu showing me same font sizes. But this only happens if the user is
root. Otherwise I get a menu that is really smaller and I can only see the
first line of text in the menu (the smaller font size.)

All X staff are *_3.3.2.3a.deb

What can it be?

Thanks a lot,
Giuseppe

ok, I double checked. The problem is related to the user' .Xresource.

There is a line that create the problem:
XTerm*geometry: 80x40

The man xterm command says:

  geometry (class Geometry)
   Specifies the preferred size and position  of  the
   VT102 window.

so what can be wrong?

Thanks again,

quota

1998-09-07 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
Hi all,
I have a problem related to quota: I have just compiled the kernel for quota
support and changed the fstab in that way:

1. /dev/hda4 / ext2 defaults,usrquota,grpquota,errors=remount-ro  0 1
2. /dev/hda4 / ext2 defaults,usrquota,errors=remount-ro  0 1

when I used the number 1. I found a file /remount-ro that is used for the
quota. Then I changed to number 2. but still that file is used. Why? Looking
throught the documentation I saw that the file name should be something like
quota.user and quota.group.

Bye,
Giuseppe


Re: pcmcia driver problem

1998-09-04 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
Hi All,

 I ran into the exact same problem. Here's the solution I found:
 
 1. Make sure you install *both* the pcmcia-cs and the pcmcia-modules of the
 same version and of the same version as your kernel (Note if you are 
 installing
 these via a pcmcia card connection, copy them locally to your harddrive first,
 as installation requires shutting down the pcmcia subsystem !).

I just solved the problem compiling the kernel, the modules, the pcmcia tools,
the pcmcia modules WITH version information AND SMP off.
At this moment I am now running the linux box with kernel 2.1.119 and
everything works. BUT I still get some weird errors from a shell process when
starting and stopping the pcmcia services. The errors are related to the
processor: i get the processor status and something more, but everything is
working correctly. I don't know why..

Thanks a lot,
Giuseppe


Re: pcmcia driver problem

  hsogso:/etc/init.d# ifconfig eth0 10.1.10.240 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast

 Sems to me that you didn't load the module/driver

 when after loading the module try
 lsmod
 dmesg

The modules should be correctly installed, the modules are loaded and when 
ifconfig
calls the module then it gets these errors. It is not a problema related to the
order the system calls /etc/init.d/* because I just provided you an example of
calling manually the ifconfig program *after* the system is booted and running.

pcmcia driver problem

Hi,
I have succesfully installed a Debian2.0 from a CD on a laptop Toshiba
Satellite 310CDS. Then I upgraded the pcmcia*.deb file the the 4th version
(from slink) and installed the package.

What can I do? Do I have to add some data to my question?

problem at start of debian linux installation

1998-08-06 Thread Giuseppe Sacco
Hi people,
I have a laptop from TOSHIBA, model 310CDS, and I have a copy of your
last distribution (hamm, 2.0, 24/7/98.)

I have a floppy disk that I wrote using the command rawrite2 whith
arguments 'resc1440.bin' and 'A:'. (from
debian/hamm/main/disks-i386/current)

Then I inserted the floppy disk and rebooted the WindowsNT system I
already have on this laptop.

I viewed the normal debian welcome message and the 'boot:' prompt. So I
pressed ENTER.

The boot process was starting. I read the messages about loading the
root.bin and the linux kernel.

Then the laptop was rebooted. Starting the same boot process. Endless...

I tryed several times this operation, but it is always restarting after
loading kernel and root image.

Do you have some hints about that?

I thank you very much,
Giuseppe Sacco
