[expert] USB Wireless 128-bit WEP Encryption
Hi, I have already posted to newbie with no answer. Using 9.1RC2 and Linksys USB WPC11 wireless. The AP requires the use of 128-bit encryption. I have the exact same elements working with Windows XP pro on the same hardware components. Without encryption everything works with the following ifcfg-eth0 file: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.10 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 ONBOOT=yes WIRELESS_MODE=Managed WIRELESS_ESSID=mytest WIRELESS_CHANNEL=6 WIRELESS_RATE=11M WIRELESS_RTS=2432 WIRELESS_FRAG=2346 iwconfig shows the following concerning encryption: Encryption key:off But when I try the following ifcfg-eth0 which should enable 128-bit encryption, everything is setup correctly except for the encryption. DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.10 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 ONBOOT=yes WIRELESS_MODE=Managed WIRELESS_ESSID=mytest WIRELESS_CHANNEL=6 WIRELESS_RATE=11M WIRELESS_ENC_KEY=DC50-B65D-7ECE-BBEE-FF2D-3594-1A WIRELESS_IWCONFIG=key restricted key on WIRELESS_RTS=2432 WIRELESS_FRAG=2346 iwconfig shows the following concerning encryption: Encryption key:--00 Encryption mode:restricted Encryption mode:open It looks as if the values are not set or correctly mapped. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or where to search; I have already covered the Mandrake and Atmel sites, and google has been of little help. I'll be happy to provide whatever other information you need. Thanks Michel Lamarche Communications Bienvivre, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[expert] orphaned packages?
OK, call me anally retentive if you must but ... Debian has a utility called deborphan that sniffs out packages (usually libraries) that no longer have anything else depending on them and that can be removed. AFAIK it doesn't actually delete them, it just tells you what they are. Is there a way to do the same thing on Mandrake 9 or does this rely on something in debian's dpkg and/or the .deb format? I know they don't do any actual harm just lying there on the hd, but (a) sooner or later they will waste my bandwith when an upgrade becomes available and (b) I just like to run a tight ship.

[expert] weird error message - followup
Hi all
a few days ago I wrote:
The last few days, whenever I start a new terminal or CTL-ALT-Fn to a
terminal, the first thing to print is this spectacularly unhelpful error
message:
[: : integer expression expected
I have now tracked this down to /etc/profile.d/msec.sh (thanks to all who
responded), which makes sense, since I did upgrade the msec pkg recently,
and more particularly to the following snippet of code
#if [ -n $SECURE_LEVEL -a $SECURE_LEVEL -le 1 ] ! echo ${PATH} |
fgrep -q :.; then
#export PATH=$PATH:.
#fi
As an experiment, I've commented it out and nothing seems to have broken,
even my path is exactly the same. But what should it be?
Near as I can make out, this is saying that if the value of SECURE_LEVEL
is 1 or lower and the characters :. do not appear in the PATH, then add .
(the current directory) to the PATH. So where's the typo that causes the
error msg?
Yes, I know I could just leave things commented out (I run a higher
security level anyway), but I'm trying to learn something here g

[expert] Samba, Mdk 8.0 and /root/tmp error in the logs.... Fix better than chmod 777 /root/tmp
Hi everybody, I just happen to find some trouble with samba, the /root/tmp problem. Just examining the daemon running, I found there where started with TMPDIR=/root/tmp environment.. So, just take a look in /etc/profile.d/tmpdir.sh and tmpdir.csh. There is defined the TMPDIR variable, according to the security level, it's set to $HOME/tmp. So when the samba daemon is started at boot, it uses /root/tmp as TMPDIR and of course break when a non root user try to access that directory. So, instead of chmoding /tmp/root 777, I slightly modified the /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb script, exporting TMPDIR=/tmp right before launching the daemons. It seems to fix the problem. Not being a security expert, I'm not sure it's the best way to make things work, but not working at all is a little too much secure for me. Any best way known to make things work ?

Hmm, I seem to recall that that was frowned upon in the update-menus doco I read (mind you that was MDK 7.1). Safer option (for the paranoid) would be to copy /usr/lib/menu/ksysctrl to /etc/menu/ and then proceed as above That's true; however my previous attempts at finding what went wrong result in me treating the content of /etc/menu as disposable - something goes wrong, I wipe it clean and start again.

[expert] KDE 2.1 20010115 - observed problem solution
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Been playing with the new KDE 2.1 pre-beta 2 packages and I have observed the following peculiarity: ksysctrl is wrongly defined in /usr/lib/menu/ksysctrl as needing x11, not kde... thus whenever the menus are regenerated, the folder Configuration/KDE is not properly configured for KDE (the line X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings is missing), since one of the subitem was not a KDE menu item (the ksysctrl above) and KControl got very confused. Solution: edit ksysctrl to need kde. Sent a previous mail on not being able to get any sound but silly me, didn't realise at first that the arts daemon has been split up from kdelibs.

That's why the mod_perl people put the scripts in /perl, so only well behaved scripts get run with mod_perl. I haven't tried that out, but I assume it would work fine for serving a single domain, but I have several name-based virtual hosts. With the configuration above, the proxy server wouldn't know which virtual host was supposed to be responding. I started doing some more complicated rewrite rules that would call the proxy server with the name of the virtual server, but I wasn't sure if I was on the right track with that. Maybe we could do: IfDefine PERLPROXIED ProxyPass /perl/ http://$1:8200/ ProxyPassReverse /perl/ http://$1:8200/ /IfDefine And have both httpd.conf and httpd-perl.conf have the same "Include conf/vhosts/DynamicVhosts.conf" directive so you don't have to duplicate all your settings.

Anyway, I couldn't get this new set up to work. When I tried to access a perl script, the server started spawning a huge number of threads that ground the computer to a halt. I tried to down-grade back to my old setup, but couldn't get that working, so right now I'm running mod_perl-less. You don't have to run mod_perl as a proxy. If you install both apache and apache-mod_perl, it runs as a proxy, but if you remove apache, you will get a straight apache+mod_perl server, with no SGI optimizations and FrontPage, and no SSL. I did this because there were so much conflicts in the patches that you wouldn't believe it. Using mod_perl as a module makes the server crash with Apache-ASP and HTML-Embperl. My setup is standard, as it's based on the mod_perl optimization pages on perl.apache.org. My questions are: Have other people gotten this setup to work? It works for most people. Maybe in the upgrade process, your config files got messed up. Remove all your Apache packages, rm -rf /etc/httpd, and re-install.

As a general rule the Apache webserver that is bundled with any Unix platform has had various mods added and tweeked to the point that the FrontPage Server Extensions will not work properly. The server extensions were written and designed to work on a very clean Apache web server. 2. If during your changing form one apache to another you installed it over a running Apache there is a possibility that some files or folders did not get changed and that you now have a mix of files and folders between the 2 versions of the apache. 3. About the only resulution we have found in the past on this issue is to download a clean copy of Apache 1.3.12 and prior to installing it per Q202198 to kill the existing Apache webserver by deleating the usr/local/apache folder which is our recommended install location. 4.

from any where in my network.
What is the best way to get access?
I have checked the www servers config file every thing looks ok. the
same goes for the other services ...
The high security mode is *not* designed for servers, as it assumes you
want to forbid everyone outside access to your machine.
It deactivates every service and changes ownerships of the directories so
users can't access other users' directories.
To work around that, either type "msec 3" to put your machine in "normal"
security, or do the following steps:
1- run "ntsysv" and activate the inetd and httpd services on boot
2- do a "chmod 0755" on these directories: /var/log/httpd, /home/httpd,
/home/ftp
3- the services will run on next boot, but you can start them now by
running /etc/rc.d/init.d/{httpd,inetd} start

Do I need to delete his "Special account" then create him all over again? And if so, how do I give him POP3 access as well as FTP access to his own directory on my server? A POP3 user under linuxconf has /bin/false as a shell. Now, the ftp server will verify if the user has a valid shell before granting access. You can add /bin false to /etc/shells, but that will let *all* POP3 users to access their directory by FTP. This is what most ISPs do. Otherwise, here is what I suggest: usermod -g popusers -G $USER $USER ln -s /bin/false /bin/ftpaccess echo /bin/ftpaccess /etc/shells chsh -s /bin/ftpaccess $USER This adds the user to his own group, creates a special shell that will let the user check mail, use ftp (and maybe a few other minor things), but he will not be able to telnet or login to the system.
