[gentoo-user] [OT] Problem with disk: cannot mount as ext3 but yes as ext2 ???
Hello, I had a hard disk attached on an old RedHat PC formatted and mounted as ext3 filesystem. I removed the hard disk from the PC and plugged it in my Gentoo box. I tried to mount it as ext3 file system and got this error: | # mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /jukebox | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd1, |missing codepage or other error |In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try |dmesg | tail or so I then tried to see the partition type with fdisk: | Command (m for help): p | | Disk /dev/hdd: 81.9 GB, 81964302336 bytes | 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 158816 cylinders | Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes | |Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System | /dev/hdd1 1 15881680043232+ 83 Linux My next step was to try to repair it with fsck.ext3: | fsck.ext3 -p /dev/hdd | fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdd | /dev/hdd: | The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 | filesystem.

[gentoo-user] Eating RAM...

I did get a link error, because you haven't defined "punctf"; I'll bet
you
meant "printf".
FWIW - I get "implicit declaration of function 'isblank'" as well -
system is:
Portage 2.1.1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3,
2.6.17-gentoo-r8 i686)
If I add '-D_GNU_SOURCE' to the compile line then it goes away. Not sure
if this is the intended behavior tho...

Hmmm. I did indeed mean printf -- a goof in s/// stuff. Anyway, even after
that,when I
gcc -Wall ctype.c -o ctype
I get
ctype.c:21: warning: implicit declaration of function 'isblank'
and I get more of these if I use -ansi. I can get rid of it by removing -Wall,
but my normal practice is the opposite: I add -Werror. I'd just like to know
how to make it clean.

To get only the hostname (\h is substituted with the hostname as you can read
in `man bash`) ...
# export PS1=$PS1'\[\033]0;\h\007\]'
Or for the ip you can try this evil command... ;) (it depends on
sys-apps/iproute2 and will be overridden by $PS1 -- try in another terminal if
you just typed the above command) ...
# export PROMPT_COMMAND="ip -o -4 addr show scope global | sed -r 's/.*
([12]?[0-9]?[0-9](\.[12]?[0-9]?[0-9]){3})\/.*/\x1b]0;\1\x7/'"
(If anyone knows a better way to get the ip and only the ip I'm interested...)
Anyway, what's wrong with Mike Williams' suggestion? That's works fine for me.

However, we can't specify a /30 because two addresses in each block (the highest and the lowest) are reserved for "network" (anycast) and "broadcast" (multicast). You don't have to know what these are used for, just that you can't assign them. Since one of your addresses is all 1's after the common part (IPv4 addres is 32 bits, common part is 30 bits, so that means the 2 bits at the end are both 1), you have to move up to a larger netmask (in this case the next largest, /29, will do). > Note that this will also > include the IP 70.234.122.248. As would a /30, but in both cases it will be reserved (for "network") and can't be assigned to a single machine.

SBC assigns our household a /29 block. It is *required* that we configure that as our 255.255.255.248 as our netmask if we want routing to work. I've also used /30 and /28 networks for routing.

[gentoo-user] Problems installing on Thinkpad X41 Tablet

Well, that's easy to overcome by a SSH-via-SSH tunnel :-)Just make an initial connection like this: $ ssh -L2:127.0.0.1:22 vhost.isp.organd then either use 127.0.0.1:2 as ssh target host, or configure a section in your ~/.ssh/config for the tunneled access to the host, e.g.---snipHost tunneledvhostHostName 127.0.0.1Port 2---snipand then just use "tunneledvhost" to connect to. Great!!! Man, I've got to write down this in my trick book :o) I'm using Windows at work (yeah, I know) and putty instead of ssh, but I've done port forwarding before with putty, so I guess I'll have no problem. Thank you very very much, best regards Jose

That slash notation is a shortcut for the netmask. /8 is the same as "netmask 255.0.0.0". The number that comes after the slash is the number of bits that is set in the netmask, counting from left. E.g.: 255.0.0.0 (decimal) = ... (binary). This is the first eight bits are set. A netmask gets masked onto the IP it belongs to to determine the net. That is the network mask is combined via an AND operation with the tested IP on the one hand and with the other tested IP (e.g. our own) on the other hand. Both results must match. I'll use the private subnet 192.168.x.y as an example: You can use it as it is specified: To build some Class-C networks. Such a network is specified as a /24 network. That's the first 24 bits set and results in a netmask of 255.255.255.0. That essentially means: all addresses that match the first 24 bits of the current IP do belong to our network. Such a network would be all IPs from 192.168.x.0 (x like in our current IP) up to 192.168.x.255. If you configure it instead with a /16 netmask (255.255.0.0), it would include everything from 192.168.0.0 up to 192.168.255.255. Concerning the IPs you've mentioned, that looks like 70.234.122.249 = 01000110.11101010.0010.1001 70.234.122.250 = 01000110.11101010.0010.1010 70.234.122.251 = 01000110.11101010.0010.1011 Note that the first 29 bits are all equal. So it would be sufficient to specify a /29 netmask (255.255.255.248). Note that this will also include the IP 70.234.122.248. It would probably not be wise to actually set this as an IP netmask when configuring the interfaces (will most certainly break routing and broadcasts), but it can be used in iptables configuration to match that given range of hosts. I don't know ipkungfu, but I would be surprised if there wasn't the possibility to specify more than one "LOCAL_NET". And a better name for that config setting would actually be "ALLOW_NET" or similar. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'm using Maven (http://maven.apache.org/) to deploy some files to my server. Maven seems to use a different ssh connection for every operation it does (check for current version deployed, read metadata, copy several files to remote server...). I'll write to the Maven list to ask about this, maybe there is some way to slow down or reuse connections. I've rewrote a complete system just so I would not have to discuss myISP security policies. I guess it was faster to change a few hundred lines of code than to keep calling them on the phone to argue about it(if I could, I would have changed ISP). Well, that's another option. After all Maven is open source, so I could take a look at the code making the connections and try to improve it. Thanks a lot, best regards Jose

My question is: is it possible for an intrusion detection system to differentiate between successful and unsuccessful ssh connections so they don't block me? Of course all my connections are successful. As Hans-Werner already told you, there are better ways to detect intrusion, and of course they could implement it in a way successful connection would not cause the intrusion detect system to block you, but its a bit more complicated and would involve the whole system, wich most providers do not want/care to have and if they have, they charge over it. The questions here, if you don't want to argue with your host provider, would be: 1) Is there another provider that does not have such limitation? 2) 10 connection in 2 minutes is a good config, why do you have so many connections in so little time?

Well, I meant: Networks listed in LOCAL_NET are probably _meant_ to have full access. So what you describe is essentially a misconception about what LOCAL_NET does configure. And since there is a comment in the ipkungfu config file that says you should enter 127.0.0.1 there, I guess it is meant to generally allow traffic. And you'll probably want to allow 127.0.0.1 anyway (if not even 127.0.0.0/8). That configuration seems to end up in the iptables INPUT section right before a catch-all that drops all other traffic, and that really makes me think that everything is working fine, just as configured. Probably changing it to the suggested "127.0.0.1" will "fix" the issue. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi Grant,
Try the following:
As user (not as root) become root with "sux" not with "su".
Or as user gove root "access permission" to your X server with
"xhost" (-> see manpage).
I f this does not help:
sux to root and check the DISPLAY environment variable, whether it
is correctly set. Should something like ":0.0" or "localhost:0.0".
The above are fixing (may be) the symptoms, not the cause of the
problem.
These are comeing from the wrong permissions set for the file
Project.pm .
...but when it is emerged, it should be correctly set.
At this point I have no clue, whether wrong permissions are given
to that file/to those files of package.
Only my two cents, your currency may vary...
HTH and keep hacking!

The only things you are likely to want to exclude are config files, such as the mail config you mention. You also need to be sure that changes "take"; for example if you sync your Konqueror bookmarks and Konqueror is running, it will write its in-memory bookmarks to disc when it exits, overwriting the ones you just copied over. You can avoid this by logging out of the desktop on the destination machine before syncing. -- Neil Bothwick Several errant electrons jumped when they shouldn't have at a place they shouldn't have, resulting in what shouldn't have.

I've had my own share of evolution woes; I've had that particular one several times. Unfortunately, after you send an email there's no way to change anything about it (such as the address line). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

As far as the switch, its on a hub that is on the span port of a foundry switch (the hub is used as a poormans network tap -- I have seen the same type of failure on machines directly connected to a switch also) The cable is a commercially manufactured cable that tests out correctly - -its about 6 feet long TIM Timothy A.

(Too) long or bad (non-standard) cabling? That was usually the explanation when I was seeing such behaviour. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I used the commandline version until I found out about the fonts with some fairly intensive googling. It's clear you are missing something that was a part of the old monolithic X, but the error message is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard :( -- Neil Bothwick I yam Popeye o'de Borg.
