Debian Lists
I have 3 systems to which I receive mail: A, B, and C. A forwards mail to B using a .forward file. System C is my home system and I fetchmail from B usingwait for it...fetchmail. My problem is that it seems like the To fields are being messed with somehow and not showing who the mail was really to. What I'm really trying to fix is that all the mail I receive from these lists doesn't contain *any* of my email addresses in any of the headers, so I have no clue what address they were originally sent to and don't remember what address I signed up as. ANyone know how I can figure this situation out? That probably all made no sense, but try and help me anyway :) -- Rahsheen Porter -- cipher-Ra [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 2464469

Re: Have we been cracked?
If you're really paranoid..you should format and start over. Otherwise, start running portsentry and logcheck (search freshmeat). Portsentry will block any host that tries to scan you and logcheck will email you weird log entries. Portsentry has blocked at least 10 hosts since I started running itvery useful.

LILO
I recently (this morning), had a power outtage. I started up my computer and LILO started going nuts. Not only did it just say LI, but the cursor was jumping all over the screen and the printer started to print. I used a rescue disk and ran LILO, then rebooted. Now it prints 01 over and over. Then I realized I had the wrong root device set in the kernel image, so I fixed it. No dice. LILO wouldn't even work off of a floppy. This is an all linux system, potato, with kernel 2.2.3. Below is lilo.conf, all also had it where boot was /dev/hda. # Generated by liloconfig # Specifies the boot device boot=/dev/hda1 # Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. # If the special name CURRENT is used, the root device is set to the # device on which the root file system is currently mounted. If the root # has been changed with -r , the respective device is used. If the # variable ROOT is omitted, the root device setting contained in the # kernel image is used. It can be changed with the rdev program. root=/dev/hdd2 # Enables map compaction: # Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single # read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the map # smaller. Using COMPACT is especially recommended when booting from a # floppy disk. #compact # Install the specified file as the new boot sector. # If INSTALL is omitted, /boot/boot.b is used as the default. install=/boot/boot.b # Specifies the number of _tenths_ of a second LILO should # wait before booting the first image. LILO # doesn't wait if DELAY is omitted or if DELAY is set to zero. delay=3 # Specifies the location of the map file. If MAP is # omitted, a file /boot/map is used. map=/boot/map # Specifies the VGA text mode that should be selected when # booting. The following values are recognized (case is ignored): # NORMAL select normal 80x25 text mode. # EXTENDED select 80x50 text mode. The word EXTENDED can be # abbreviated to EXT. # ASK stop and ask for user input (at boot time). # number use the corresponding text mode.

If so, then what did you use and how did you setup the dhcpd.conf file?
Hmm. I used the HOWTO. The only problem I had was that the ethernet cards
were 3c509's and were configured to use the same resources (irq, io). I had
to get some utilities to set up the cards, then add some params to LILO to
make them act right.

I decided to put windows on c:, already had OS/2 on E:, and was going to put Linux on D: (boot) F; with G: being an all around fat drive, using the boot manager that came with OS/2. (C: and D: being on the 840 meg drive, E: F: and G: being on the 6gig. Couldn't get it to work, and like I said, I needed the computer. On installation of Windows98 It saw I had a boot manager and gave me 2 choises, erase the boot manager or stop installation. I decided I had to do it and erased the boot manager and dumped my OS/2. I'd still like to get both windows and Linux running on the same machine. My friend is currently running LInux+Win98. I think as long as you install win98 first you'll be okay. The latest version of Fips (2.20 I think) will even let you chop off part of the 98 partition if you didn't partition before installing. After you run all the Linux installation stuff, and it's installed properly, LILO will work just fine with win98. At least my friend hasn't had any problems with it... Hope this helps. Rahsheen
