HI , have a strange problem, on rebooting from win98 I get a strange message during bootup it says for this file :< /etc/rc.d/rc :[ missing "]" > can the rc file be regenerated ? Have tried to install lm_sensors which require adding lines to /etc/rc and /etc/modules.conf and the message happened after the second reboot after this mod. any suggestions?

I changed USERID to HOST, since most windows boxes do not use ident it was
moot. I've not had anymore complaints from my users, but then it only
seemed to bother the ones using the Linksys

Thank you very much, George, disabling the Block Wan Request has solved the
problem for one user. I have yet to find out if the others are using a
Linksys DSL/Cable gateway.

And I do agree with that. But right now, I'm more interested in a quick
fix that makes the problem go away and takes the pressure off. The client
was asking me to disable the Bastille firewall on the server, it was that
important to him. I'd *much* rather do that at the user end than at the
server end. Fortunately, I'd already done a test and found that Bastille
wasn't the cause of the problem.
I'll explain the issues to the individual users involved and let them make
the choice between security on their end with the concommittant delay in
collecting mail and the convenience of collecting mail quickly. I'm not
overly concerned about the security aspect as the Linksys is doing NAT/IP
masquerading afterall and that's a darn good firewall in and of itself.
In /etc/xinet.d/ipop3, it says:
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
}
I presume is that the log_on statements are causing the delay when Block WAN
Request is enabled and that if I remove them, the problem will be resolved at
the expense of logging connections.

Re: [expert] Strange problem with the POP server
Since xinetd tries to check ident for a pop connection, I would suspect that it the problem, and with the linksys blocking wan requests it would drop the packet for the ident request, and xinetd would wait for it to time out. So the other option is to change what xinetd tries to log for pop requests.

I have a LinkSys and it works fine with LM8.1... to get more info as to what might be happening with the router, upgrade its software to one that has logging capabilities (I'm running 1.40.1) and set it up to log the connection attempts; you don't actually need a logging server to see what the router might be rejecting (see my web page at http://pfortin.com/Linux/LinkSys/), just watch what the router is sending... these logging packets are "send and pray" in that they are sent only once each and do not expect a response. Take a trace of the working traffic with ethereal and tcpdump; then again with the router inline and watch for unexpected log entries. HTH, Pierre Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Strange problem with the POP server
Hi folks, I've got a head scratcher here and I'd really like your help, please. The problem arose when we replaced a RedHat 6.2 server with a Mandrake 8.1 server. On the new Mandrake server, a few clients (out of about 400 or so) are now having difficultly POP'ing their mail where they didn't have before. What happens is that they are experiencing an extended connection time, up to 60 seconds before the mail transfer starts after starting a mail run via pop. In some cases, this is causing the client to time-out and report the server is unreachable. If I monitor /var/log/secure and /var/log/syslog while one of these users does a mail run, I see the POP3 connection made almost instantly in /var/log/secure (so it's not a net latency). However, the pop service init login doesn't show up (in /var/log/syslog) until quite a while later; when it does, the user gets his mail. Thus the delay is occurring between the pop connection and the pop login. I was at one client's machine this weekend, trying to figure out what is going on. He has one of those 4 port Linksys home router/NAT firewall units. If I bypass the Linksys router and connect the cable modem directly to his machine, the POP latency disappears and mail transfers are fast. Put the Linksys router in the path and the long latency re-appears; the log entries in /var/log/secure and /var/log/syslog are almost simultaneous. (I do not know whether all the clients having problems have such a router/NAT firewall or not). So far, I've not found out what happens on a POP connection after the initial connection via xinetd and I have no idea what can be causing this delay. Does anyone have anything to suggest?

[expert] strange problem with Bind.... on Mdk 7.2
Hi everyone,,, I am having a little problem with Bind, which is now set up for our domain names and is seconded by our isp's dns,, I was sucessful with the main domain deligation, and got confiring results with a whois... BUT!! for many of the subdomains that I created, it works correctly and we get the correct IP from any connection... but for the domain and subdomains that existed before we did this, they are still coming up with their old IP address. I was under the impression that if a domain name was deligated to a dns server, then all subbdomains will be quiered from that dns server as well,, but that doesn't appear to be the case since if you log into the dns server directly, it is giving the correct new IP address (not from /etc/hosts either), but it isn't updating the other dns's around with the new info... for only two of the subdomains, the rest work fine... (the two that don't work, were in existance before we setup this server, they were using other ISP's DNS servers, and I am wondering if thats the reason they are not resolving correctly.. I am alittle lost here, this seemed simple to set up, and for the most part it was, but the things that got me, where this problem and the zone serial number, which is supposed to be newer then any others, so I have it set as: 200106114 Have I done that correctly?? any help would be seriously appreciated as I am spending way to much time talking to the isp help desk only to discover that they seem to know less then I do... kindest regards Frank Registered Linux user: 218317

If "produ" is the only user that can access this share, why worry > about user and group attributes? Well, it's a bit complicated. I will try to explain the situation. I have a linux box that works as a ftp server where a Xerox Docutech 135 is attached. Yes, a photocopier (a big photocopier, for mass production) uses the linux box as a "box" to save the jobs, and do it by ftp. Manage the files and the folder with the photocopier is slow, and annoying. As the people at work only knows M$ Windows I did a system that the people manage the jobs from a win box using samba to manage the files in the directory of the docutech. The problem was that from the win box I don't have any problems, but if I try to delete a job from the docutech (that had been created or copied from windows/samba) I cannot because the file has root owner. It's worried because I think that is a security hole because samba writes a file using root where the config say that has to be docutech owner. Produ is a normal user in the linux box that only use the samba and has a entry in /etc/passwd. And /home/users/docutech is the home directory of the docutech user and ../fitxers-docutech a normal directory of docutech home directory.

RE: [expert] Strange problem with the users with Samba
I'm still a bit confused on your problem. I had several Samba problems in the same configuration area as well and unintentionally became quite knowledgable at the million ways NOT to configure Samba. Perhaps you could provide a 'ls -l' of the dir itself plus its contents. Here is an example of a locked-down directory on my system that is used for development. It was the best I could do with the notoriously poor security in Windows. I could have used masks of 0660 as well but most Windows boxes seem intent on declaring everything executable (and this directory is not accessed in Linux normally).

You sure didn't provide much information! Send a: cat /etc/smb.conf ls -l /path/up/to/share/name ls -l /path/share/name and maybe someone can help you.

[expert] Strange problem with the users with Samba
Hi, I have installed at work Mdk 6.1 with the Samba 2.05a. Everything works normally but I have realised of one big problem. I have a directory shared with the windows users and in the smb.conf I have a selected an option that say the force user = x for that share. Howeber, it does't have this behaviour and change the user to root. I think that it can be a security hole, and I need help to solve this. Please, any ideas. Leo Best regards. Pd. I don't have tested that option to upgrade to the 2.07 version. In mdk 7.1 the version is older that the new (I think) and I would like to know if I will have problems upgrading it. Thank's. begin:vcard n:Palomo;Leopold x-mozilla-html:TRUE adr:;;Catalonia version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] x-mozilla-cpt:;-29952 fn:Leopold Palomo end:vcard

RE: [expert] Strange problem ? (ppp)
One possibility: The kPPP that comes with M6.0 has a bug. If you user does NOT adjust their speed setting, it leaves a "blank" setting in the config file. This blank setting will keep pppd from connecting properly (ie, dial up works, login script works, but PPP doesn't come up). To fix: 1) Toggle the speed setting (ie, set to 9600 and save, then back to 115200 and save) 2) upgrade to later version.

>Here's the last two suggestions from the helpdesk (oxymoron) so far. I've >not had a chance to implement the last one but will do that tonight. Well, I%ve just resolved my ppp connection problem. First I downgrade to ppp 2.5 but the problem continued. So I made a direct connection via ppp, without Kppp, and bingo!, I didn%t have any more troubles ( a loop of ~30 seconds of good data rate transfers then ~15 seconds with a poor transfer rate). I checked the updates and discovered that my "kdenetworks" package was not the last available, so I made the upgrade to "kdenetworks" and to the "ppp" package. Now my ppp link is excelent. Does someone know what was wrong with the original Kppp that came with MDK 6.0 ?. Jorge Carminati.
Re: [expert] Strange problem ? (ppp)
No, the last thing I did was to check if my linux was loading routed or gated as suggested by one person, but I%m not loading nothing like that. I don%t know how to resolve this and hate to load winNT just to browse the web because under linux the performance is terrific. If someone has any other idea please tell us. Jorge Carminati.

[expert] Strange problem ? (ppp)
Hello: I%m a user of MDK since version 5.2 and never have had any trouble with my Internet conection until the current version 6.0. A few months ago I installed MDK 6.0 and applied all the patches available but I%m having a strange problem with my Internet connection: I dial to my ISP (with Kppp) and the connection is establish without problem. Then I start to surf with Netscape also without problem, ...but after some time (generally 10 to 20 minutes) I start to have problems while surfing or doing a download. It stop receiving data or if I%m making a download the transfer suddenly interrupts. The strange thing is that if I ping to different hosts (while I%m expecting this problem) I get normal response values (600 ms to international sites) so the link is well stablished. Also if I type %netstat -n% all the session are stablished, but without receiving data (sometines with some bytes in the qeue). This occurs only under Linux, if I surf the net with MS NT I don%t have any trouble. I have a Hayes 28.8 Kbps PnP modem, using the same isapnp.conf since MDK 5.2. I used first Netscape 4.6 and then downgrade to version 4.08. Can someone help me with this ?, any idea ?. Thanks in advance, Jorge Carminati.
