Re: [expert] To awk users

2001-12-18 Thread dgssoftware

 Hi List,
   I'm a newbie about awk.
 
   I'm trying to print only chosen column.  I have a file with
 different number fields (NF), but the first 5 are equal, so I want
to
 delete them.  I'm looking for something which allow me to print the
 interval fields $6 to $NF, included, where $NF is different for each
line.
 My biggest $NF is 23 and the smallest is 6.
   All allternatives that I tryed (following gawk-doc) gave blank
 spaces before or after each line.
 
 Many thanks in advance.

Try this is csh,

cat filename | cut -d' ' -f 6-

if it is space delimitied. Redirect as needed.

Re: [expert] SCSI Tape Issues

2001-12-14 Thread dgssoftware

  aic7xxx: Adaptec AHA-294X SCSI host adapter at PCI 0/9/0
  aic7xxx: I/O ports already in use, ignoring.
  st: bufsize 32768, wrt 30720, max buffers 5, s/g segs 16.
  Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
  Unable to get major 9 for SCSI tapes

A long shot, try removing the module aic7xxx and inserting the module
aic7xxx_old, I found that the newer module would work properly with
this module. I had tape and scanner attached via the adaptec card. The
old module solved all my 'weird' symptoms.

You can do the module bit as root using 'insmod' etc... before making
the change permanent.

HTH.

Re: [expert] Bookmarks in Mozilla

2001-11-27 Thread dgssoftware

 Everytime I try to add or edit bookmarks in Mozilla it locks up on
me 
 and I have to use the kill command to get out of it.  I have been 
 trying to do this in the last three versions (I downloaded the
latest 
 off Cooker this morning) and it locks up every time.  Does anyone
have 
 a solution to this problem?

I am using the Mozilla version direct from the Mozilla site,
downloaded this week. The function you mention works OK for me. Put
tracing on when you start Mozilla and check out what it was trying to
do when it crashed. It may a file is missing, incorect path or
something similar.

Hope this helps.

Have you got a proxy server running? Like Samba/WWWoffle etc...

You may need to set the proxy setting for SSL through the proxy as
well as http stuff. I have this setting for Netscape as 192.168.0.1
through 8080 port and this solved by SSL problems.

Hope this helps.

Re: [expert] Webmin

2001-11-20 Thread dgssoftware

Good point!!!

Thanks. 
 
 dgssoftware and currently all ports except ssh, are bolted down.
How safe would it
 dgssoftware be for me to allow the port 1 for webmin. Is this
good or is there
 dgssoftware some real threats associated with this. Webmin is
already installed
 
 The  MOST  secure way : make a ssh tunel to webmin. To webmin it
will look like
 you  are  coming  from  127.0.0.1  so  you can block acces to port
1 to the
 outside world and you can set access in webmin only to 127.0.0.1.
 So  the  only way someone can acces webmin is to have a ssh account.
If someone
 has ssh account he doesn't need webmin ;)))

[expert] Webmin

2001-11-19 Thread dgssoftware

Hi All,

How secure is webmin, I know that is uses a https server, but I need
to administer a machine remotely. The MDK 8 box has bastille loaded
and currently all ports except ssh, are bolted down. How safe would it
be for me to allow the port 1 for webmin. Is this good or is there
some real threats associated with this. Webmin is already installed
and is used accross the SOHO network...it's just an issue of opening
the WEB side access.

TIA
Dave.

RE: [expert] Webmin

2001-11-19 Thread dgssoftware

Are the password still 8 character significant for the crypt()
function, or has Linux changed this?

Thanks for your response.
Dave
 
 When webmin is running, it is bound to port 1 since webmin uses
its own
 128bit
 certificate for encryption, its very safe, no passwords get passed
in clear
 txt and
 its rather difficult to run a brute force password script on a web
based
 admin program.
 if your passwords are up to the task, you will be fine.. (all my
passwords
 are at least
 11 characters long and contains small chars, CAPS chars, numbers4321
and
 symboles!@@#@!!
 
 Since I started using no non non encrypted services, started using
long
 passwords for stuff..
 (in fact, usernames that need to be there and have a log in, but
don't log
 in as a person (ie having to type in a password), have passwords up
to 50
 characters long, I type them in a txt editor, usually they are
complete
 giberish
 and cut and paste them into the passwd screen) I have never  been
 compromised.
 
 so Webmin will fine if used hand in hand with a decent password
policy..

RE: [expert] Webmin

2001-11-19 Thread dgssoftware

Thanks again, i'll have to dig out the iptables howto to make sure
that I don't open anything other than port 1, btw, is webmin tcp
or udp?
brain ache...monday morning

 actually, I think they are still 8 chars, but I make long ones
anyway,,
 
 also, most people don't add gibberish till the end of the password,
which
 sort of ruins the
 purpose, I use gibberish all the way though..
 
 you can download a password cracker and test your passwords if you
are
 unsure of their security..
