[expert] kfm and browser password
I am using Festen (Mandrake 5.3). When I go to a certain site with kfm, I cannot access the site because it needs a username and password. How do I do it with kfm? I have no problem with Netscape, but do not know how in kfm. -- Ramon Gandia = Sysadmin Nook Net http://www.nook.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] 285 West First Avenue tel. 907-443-7575 P.O.

Re: [expert] (More) problems with vmware and recompiled kernel
I'll post my config file I with kernel 2.2.10-mdk ??? and that runs VMWARE without problems on monday (it's on my office machine) Patrick - Original Message - From: Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 23, 1999 5:54 PM Subject: [expert] (More) problems with vmware and recompiled kernel I've been trying to set up vmware (version 1.0.3), and in preperation, I've recompiled my kernel from the src rpm (kernel-2.2.10-32mdk from Cooker -- a couple of weeks old now). I compiled relatively light-weight kernel, to drive my Intel P2/BX chipset, 64MB ram, IDE based system. I have no floppy, but I have an ls120. I missed out pretty much anything that I don't need for this workstation. After running menu config I changed the tag string to 2.2.10-32mdk-sjm1, and did 'make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install'. The kernel runs the machine ok, but it won't run vmware. I have a Win98 installation on a FAT partition, and I was planning to run this in vmware, but I get a segfault as soon as I "power up" the vitual machine. How can I help to get this problem licked in time for MD6.1? I could post my menuconfig files if that's interesting to the kernel-hackers at MD. Helpful for me would be to see the config file from a kernel that works with vmware. Steven
[expert] Big Time Kernel Problems
Ok Here it is. I recompiled my Kernel. Had some problems at first. It hung on Finding Module dependencies.. So I did a ctrl-c and got it to boot. The I run depmod -a reboot I got abunch of Symlink errors. So I decided to run a make clean and make mrproper and re-do the kernel again. Now this time When I boot it just gets to Running Linux... Then never passes that. So I boot into the Old Kernel and it fails on loading modules also. It will try to but Fail on some of them. So I am going to Re-install the Entire OS. No big deal it was not configured yet. Here is my problem. By default it has the PPP as a module. I need it to load at boot up. Is there a way I can add this to the conf.modules to do so. Also I need it to use the apm function of the new 2.2.9 kernel. Instead of attempting to Re-compile again. Can I add that somehow. Is there a program that will allow me to change some of the Kernel parameters. Please allow me to know. But If I do need to recompile should I do it in the /usr/src/linux Directory or the /usr/src/linux-2.2.9 directory. I believe the /linux one is a linked one because it shows up as linux@ Please let me know. And should I blow away the /lib/modules directory before I compile so it will load it correctly. Sorry for the Long Winded message I just wanted to explain myself. James J. Capone Webmaster: http://linuxuser.8m.com Asst.

Apache does not use the tcpwrappers by default so, if apache responds instantly it points even more to the tcpwrappers. --- Axalon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, 22 Jul 1999, Linux Happy User wrote: Mike Fistonich wrote: Hi Does anyone how I can reduce the long delay when telnetting between two linux (L-M 5.3) boxes , they can ping eachother with no delay but ftp telnet do nothing for 30s or so before the login prompt . cheers _ Do You Yahoo!?

[expert] Firewalling on 2.2: UPDATE
Ok, I have since reinstalled Mandrake and was lazy and didn't do the kernel update (as suggested by updates page for security) and the network survived the 20 hr mark. (where the network died before) I didn't realize this (I attributed this to something else) and updated the kernel to 2.2.9-27mdk. 20 hours later, the network died!. So I'm back to the original kernel 2.2.9-19mdk (with the "networking security bug" and all. I don't know what to attribute this to. My past suspicions relate to the dhcpcd, but I have no idea if that relates to the kernel. If anyone has ideas on why this works let me know, thanks! --- ShawnDo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 04:19:58 -0400 (EDT) From: ShawnDo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] Firewalling on 2.2 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I installed the new mandrake release and promptly setup the ipchain rules using the 3 step process in the ipchains HOWTO.

I reboot, then everything works fine again, for about another 20 hours. It happens wether the network is IDLE or actively downloading stuff. sometimes it is the only the outside interface that dies.

Re: [expert] cgi scripts
As far as I am concerned, there are no stupid questions. As you probably noticed, I often refer people to the right place, or give the answer it if can fit in one line or two. Please everyone don't say "please post in an appropriate forum". Even me, an experienced Linux user, I often don't know what the appropriate forum is. Imagine a new user... A better attitude would be to say "You will probably get a better answer there: (insert URL or newsgroup)." This way, you save bandwidth, stop a flame war, help someone, and probably get a "thank you". Everydody's happy.

Could you please ask it in a more appropriate forum. I disagree with you. The fellow is using an Apache web server on a Mandrake 6.0 server. Because packages install differently on different Linux distros, and different Unix systems, a lot of problems are related to the type and location of libraries, and other distribution-specific things. It is entirely possible his cgi-script problem ONLY arises in Mandrake. And even if not, the answer to his problem may not be correct or applicable to him if answered by an AIX or HPUX sysadm. Mandrake is a distribution employing many different componets; many of them tweaked by RedHat and Mandrake to specific configuration and purposes. If an individual has ANY problems when using Mandrake, then THIS is the apporpiate venue to ask questions. More specifically, he has a problem with a DOCTYPE... header. This could well be Mandrake specific. There is an HTML validation service at http://validator.w3.org/ which may be able to answer his problem. It does have extensive documentation and help on the DOCTYPE... tags. Basically I think that either his tag is wrong, or it mentions an HTML level which his Apache server does not understand. Running the web page with cgi script past the validator should yield the answer. -- Ramon Gandia = Sysadmin Nook Net http://www.nook.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] 285 West First Avenue tel. 907-443-7575 P.O.

After installing Redhat 6.0, I looked around a bit and I noticed something interesting: In /home/httpd/cgi-bin there is a CGI program called cachemgr.cgi, and it can be accessed by remote users by default. So I went to look at it, and I noticed that what it does is it lets any user connect to any hostname/port he/she chooses via the interface it provides.. and then see the connection results - if the connection was not successful it prints out the full connect() error; otherwise it just stays frozen, waiting for HTTP data, or httpd might give you an "Internal Server Error" - Both of those mean that a connection has been established. This is what it looks like from lynx: Cache Manager Interface This is a WWW interface to the instrumentation interface for the Squid object cache. _ Cache Host: localhost_ Cache Port: 3128__ Manager name: __ Password: __ Continue... This is, obviously, not good, because this CGI program can be used as a powerful portscanning or a denial of service tool. I suggest that Redhat 6.0 users check to see if they have it, and then disable it if they do. - Daniel ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
