Re: [expert] X Freezes
Andrew wrote: My computer seems to randomly freeze up. It stops responding to everything (mouse, keyboard, CTRL+ALT+BKSPC). This only happens when I am running X11. I haven't found a pattern that shows a specific app causing the freeze. I have had combinations of IceWM, KDE2.2 and 3, having combinations of StarOffice5.2, Konquoror, FreeAmp, and Ogg123, open when a crash occurs. I don't think that its a hardware issue, as this never happens under Win98SE, and HardDrake properly detected all my hardware. I have tried looking in some log files in /var/log to find a pattern. No luck. My questions: 1. Is there a systematic way to detemine what is causing the crashes? 2. What specific log files should I look at? 3. Anyone else had this problem? Fixes? I regret to say this, but such 'patternless freezes' are very likely a hardware problem as Linux is much tougher on hardware than Win98; the three times it happened to me there turned out to be something physically wrong with the machine. First off I would look inside and make sure everything's seated properly in its sockets and connectors are tight; repeatedly turning a machine on and off can eventually work chips loose in their sockets because they get hot and cold, thus expand and contract, over and over again. (On one occasion a DIMM had worked itself loose; on the second the BIOS had worked itself loose; on the third, unfortunately, the hard disk blew shortly thereafter).

[expert] Adding video drivers to kernel
Hello All, Have recently upgraded from Mandrake 8.1 to 8.2. The video card in the computer is a SiS 315 based card. The standard video drivers supplied with 8.1 and 8.2 don't support this card. Under MDK8.1, I downloaded the 2.4.18 kernel from kernel.org and compiled in the sisfb driver from Thomas Winischhofer's site. I found the driver needed to be compiled into the kernel rather than a module because sisfb needs to be initialised before the vga framebuffer drivers get in. The new MDK8.2 kernel comes with a fancy new startup screen. Currently, I simply boot using the old kernel (2.4.18) rather than the Mandrake kernel (2.4.18-26mdk). I would like to use the new kernel. Is there a way that I can build a module for this kernel and add it to the initial RAMdisc or something so that it initialises before the fb driver? How do I specify parameters to the driver? If I need to rebuild the kernel, will I lose the new loading screen? (I can't seem to find the appropriate graphic anywhere?)

Re: [expert] Installing 8.2 on a laptop WITHOUT PCMCIA
I have managed to sort this out now. For future information, from www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3 I downloaded patch.pl and entered 'patch noauto' at boot prompt.

What would be the ramifications if I would install postfix on the firewall as far as weakening the security on the firewalls? Carl Lindgren C. R. Lindgren Consulting Minneapolis, MN Well, Carl, this question, like so many about security, depends upon your experience and ability to conduct system administration. If you need to have a MTA running on a machine, you should not be intimidated by the bad guys. Of course, you would need to open up port 25 but do it smartly. Make damn sure you install the newest source of postfix, and then make sure it is patched for all current exploits. And that is not enough. You must then lock it down against unauthorized use, such as relays and spam. And that is not enough. You should, as many do, such as myself, run some kind of sensor on your firewall. I use snort because there are a plethora of smtp rules already written, such as attempted buffer overruns, etc. You just plug em in, and go but you may choose some other kind of NIDS. The answer to your question about weakened security with the running of a mail server depends on you. There are literally *millions* running mail servers. Of this number, only of few of these servers are safe to run. My motto: if you got it, go for it. If not, stay at home. -- J.
