Re: [ilugd] Linux distributions for North Delhi users

2003-08-14 Thread Sohel Shaheen Mallik
Hi Neeraj,
About the easiest way to install , i guess you
asked not about whats easily available but whats easy installing ...
anyway the gr8 MS funda goes whats can be blindly clcked can be
installed easily , anyway for that you can get RH8 or RH9 .. its bcome
so user friendly these days the basic essence of a Unix falour has gone
away , its not RH these days its generally any distribution except some
like Debian that are very easy to install .. diffculties  arise in
places where partitions are needed to be made, for that yiu can use a
third party partitioning tool like Partition Magic to make your linux
partiions from windows and then just guide the installation wizard to
that partiion , once you cross that , other things are very easy .. what
i suggest is you try either RH8 or SUSE 8.* i dont remember the exact
version (sorry for that) .. you can contact Atul at
http://www.seascope.co.in  .. he is a good guy dealing with software
distributions, SUSE is now judged as much user friendly than RH and is
also much cheaper .. all depends what purpose you want your installation
to work as ... otherwise a pack of CD from Linux Bible is enough to set
up a Server ..

 Take care .. all the best . hope this works

   Hi,
  I am willing to burn Linux CDs for people
  residing in and
   around north Delhi. If you don't stay in this
  vicinity, you may
   still get the CDs provided you pick them up from
  my place. I have
   the following distributions:
 Debian 3.0 r1 (First 3 binaries)
 Redhat 9.0 (3 CDs)
 Redhat 8.0 (6 CDs)
 Mandrake 9.1
 Mandrake 8.2
 Knoppix 3.2
  
 I will not be charging any money for the CDs
  provided you get
   your own blank CDs. Otherwise the charge will be
  for the price of
   CDs only. But please don't ask for all the
  distributions at the
   same time. Choose only the one that suits you the
  most and I will
   burn it for you. You may mail me at my email
  address for address
   details. I stay in north campus, Delhi University.
  
 Regards,
 Bhaskar Dutta

 Assuming, of course, 2Mbps is 2Mbps.
However even in a Datacenter with 100 Mbps link at your disposal you
never exceed a download speed of greater than 50-60 KiloBytes(not
kilobits) per second. Thats because the mirror from which you download
an ISO image doesn't have that much bandwidth available for a single
user at any point of time. Infact some of the busy mirrors wouldn't
allow software like prozilla to login on all fours for the same reason.
However Debian has a method called jigdo which allows you to update your
old ISO images to new ones in a jiffy ( practically ).

Nobody can monopolize anything. But perhaps the West cannot understand the

does it depend on the server or the client who sends the mail? afaik, if

time yu sent the mail. or maybe it varies from server to server?

 frankly its a pain sometimes, to keep finding them in that long list of

which version of evolution yu using? in mozilla 1.3, i've an option to

  can you let me know where do i check  for POP3
  service and NTSYSV. Here is
  what I could make out:
 
  1. Mails being sent from my mail server are being
  delivered at remote end.
  2. Mails that are coming to the users in my mail
  server are there in
  /var/spool/mail/. They are queued here.
  3. But the user cannot access mails either through

  to download at his mail client app.
 
  Mail me for any further clarification .

 can you let me know where do i check  for POP3
 service and NTSYSV. Here is
 what I could make out:
 
 1. Mails being sent from my mail server are being
 delivered at remote end.
 2. Mails that are coming to the users in my mail
 server are there in
 /var/spool/mail/. They are queued here.
 3. But the user cannot access mails either through
 web server nor is he able
 to download at his mail client app.
 
 Mail me for any further clarification .

Everything was made clear in my mail under reference. However, the IP of PC

[ilugd] Urgent help if any: Mail server

2003-08-14 Thread Subrata
Hi, I am facing a problem in my mail server as below:
Yesterday, I could't recieve or sent mails to and from anywhere.I was
getting the error on maillog as Connection refused by 'xxx server'  and 
space not available in file server, where x is any mail server. All the
mails were being queued in my mail server (using Send-mail). I checked my
file server and found that its /var mount was using 100% of its space. I
moved some of the files from /var/spool/mail/'x' (where x is the file
name)that were irrelevant and brought down the usage to 70 % approx. Finally
all the emails in queue got cleared. i could send and recieve mails after
that. But today morning I found that I can send mails but cannot recieve
them.  i am till getting the message as Connection refused by 'xxx server'
 now.

Can anyone resolve my problem or be of any help. I will grateful for your
time spent in understanding the problem and resolving it. For any further
clarification you can meail me or  call me at 9391214(Dial the no.

 i need a list of well known spamming sites for my institute's new mail
 server. can anyone help me? the new mail server runs the courier imap
 server with qmail on RH 9.0.

 you could try to integrate relays.ordb.org into qmail. This is basically a 
list of servers on relay and locks such sites from sending emails to your 
server. they also have soe third party links to some other such databases.

Hope that helps.

[ilugd] Emails by server time

2003-08-14 Thread Robins Tharakan
hi all,

mails from ilugd server have dates ranging from august to september, to
even 2002 etc...

frankly its a pain sometimes, to keep finding them in that long list of
mails in the ilugd folder in evolution...!!

could there be a solution to this, for eg. restamping all the emails at
the server with the server date and time?? atleast that way we have
'one' time on the emails rather than their local time/date stamps which
are varied due to mis/in/dis/un/... configurated systems...

[ilugd] connecting to two servers thr single IP Address

2003-08-14 Thread MALKIAT BENIPAL
Dear all,
 
I have two servers with me.  One is running Unix SCO 5.5 server and another one is a 
PC based, meant for providing internet connection sharing through dialup using samber 
server to differnt PCs for net surfing and mail distribution purpose. The IP address 
of SCO server is 100.0.0.1 and the IP address of PC server is 191.172.100.2. 
 
Now, I have a client PC and I am connected to both these servers thr lan card. By 
default I am connected to PC server for net surfing purpose. Now, if I wish to connect 
to Unix SCO Server then in network neighbourhod (win.98) of client PC, I have to 
change the address of my IP as 100.0.0.12 and reboot my PC. Now, I am able to connect 
to my SCO server. Again, if I wish to connect that PC server I have to change my IP 
address to that of PC one ie. 191.172.100.12. 
 
Is there any other way through which I am relieved of the task of changing the IP 
addresses of my client PC and restarting it again and again for switching over between 
these two servers. For your information, I am using telnet (win98) to connect to Unix 
SCO server.  pl. guide.

 I use Mandrake 9.0. I have made two users. In one user I am using Gnome
and in another one KDE. For the last few days, whenever, I switchover to
Gnome, it displays a 'ximian' windows which I think is a mail server. Pl.
guide. how I can configure this. Everytime I cancel it because I don't have
the idea of configuring it.


i never got this ximian window when i used MDK9. anyways, if what u r
referring is ximian evolution then it is not an email server, but an email
client, like outlook express and configuring it is also as simple (or
difficult ... depends) as oputlook.

  tar -jcf mail_backup.tar.bz2 /var/spool/mail
 
 instead of mail_backup.tar.xx yu can specify the full path where yu want

Re: [ilugd] Debian CDs ?

2003-08-14 Thread Ambar Roy
 If you have a good internet  connection you need only download the 1st
 CD. Rest all  packages can be installed thru net.  Using 1st CD itself
 you can use bf24  option. This loads kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 which
 has frame buffer support.
Most people on this list are from delhi! I have not seen many places in
delhi where you have enough bw to download debian packages off the net
( Even a 2mbps link starts to look slow when u do that!

Getting packages from an online source is good only if you either have a
very small total download or if you are on a fast link. It is quite nice to
see up2date running on a computer hosted at a decent datacenter, though!
Haven't used debian much, so I don't know if debian has some nice offline
features that I might have missed out on.

Re: [ilugd] NAT DNS on 7.2 ?

2003-08-14 Thread Alok Sinha
Shailesh,

Try this.

1. Take two ethernet cards (though u can do with one also, but for
security purposes)

2. Put on eth0 your local network - lets say 192.168.1.* lets say -
192.168.1.1 (rest of your windoze cud be on 192.168.1.*)

3. Put on your eth1 for isp. Now if the isp gives permanent ip address,
great, configure your eth1 for the same, if not, configure your eth1 to
pick address dynamically.
route add gw yr isp gw eth1

   3.a. If your eth1 is dynamic, then you will need to execute a script
that automatically runs the route add command everytime it is brought up



4. to run name server, simply install bind, bindutils, caching-name
server rpms (i would strongly recommend to upgrade to rh 9.0 since the
original 7.2 has security punctured bind).

5. I assume you will need to run proxy
  Install all rpms of squid on the server.For access control use
squidguard.

6.In addition to this, if you would want internal systems to connect
directly to the net, using your linux box as gw.
   6.a - to all machines on your lan make add the gateway as 192.168.1.1
(ip of yr linux box)
   6.b - in all your machines on your lan, make the dns as 192.168.1.1
(ip of yr linux box)
   6.c A simple and correct method would be to run the linux box as dhcp
server (on eth0) and boot all windoze from this - so that the above
config is not required on client side.
  6.d. execute
echo 1  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward  (this will allow your
linux box to masq)
  6.e. Now you need to add rules so that your internal users can go
outside ( i am assuming u r going to use ipchains in 7.2)
ipchains -F (flush)
ipchains -X (remove rules)
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -j
MASQ  (Allow all source 192.168.1.0 to talk to any outside
0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0)
You can ofcourse add more filters as you go along.

Thats it - you are on.

7. If you need people from outside to come into your network (gosh! cant
be dumber than this) u will need to add rules in reverse direction.

8. Use webmin, to configure above, it will make your life so much more
simpler.

Re: [ilugd] problem with knoppix

2003-08-14 Thread Robins Tharakan
during the process of installation! could you please elaborate?
is it during hard disk recognition? monitor recognition? sound/graphics
card

i have heard about problems with LiFy distributions, although knoppix
should have worked fine. please if possible do try another distribution.
the next meet is up on 24th (i think!) do ask someone for a distribution
you dont have and give that a try. i can only lend you my cds if need
be...

you can quite easily run linux from another partition, and frankly that
is the preferred way to work, although that involves partitioning your
existing partition into two or more... if you are comfortable. good. the
installation generally has software and provisions to do it.. you just
need to have the courage to say yes!! ;) just kidding... but yes,
partitioning is the best way to go about it (stability wise).

So you're saying that...

1. You prefer to use proprietary software, even if it doesn't work
for you.

2. You pay large amounts of money to proprietary software vendors and
then you approach a list that deals in free software for help instead
of contacting the proprietary software vendors you bought your
software from and asking them to solve your problems.

3. Your criterion for using software is how much you paid for it
rather than the usefulness of the software for you.

4. It's fine if you approach a Linux list for help even though you're
asking for help with the software from the 2 companies that have the
most interest in seeing Linux destroyed (SCO and MS).

Here's the help you wanted: to answer your (rhetorical) question, you
can switch over to Linux after paying Rs 3.5 lakhs very easily: come
and take Debian CDs from me, put CD 1 in the drive of the SCO system,
boot with it and answer the questions it prompts you with. See? it's
that easy!

It is not a prometric. It is a completely lab based test, with a Red Hat

Yup. Rs. 8,000

 with training ~ Rs. 12000 or so... (rough estimate)

Depends from places to places. I think some places charge upto Rs. 20,000!

The way to go about it is to go to the redhat india website, find out where

 i suggest is you try either RH8 or SUSE 8.* i dont remember the exact
 version (sorry for that) .. you can contact Atul at
 http://www.seascope.co.in  .. he is a good guy dealing with software
 distributions, SUSE is now judged as much user friendly than RH and is
 also much cheaper .. all depends what purpose you want your installation

 Is there any other way through which I am relieved

 This is just to inform everybody that the Digit Magazine's August 2003
 issue has two CD-ROMS and one DVD. The DVD is entirely devoted to the

 namely, Red Hat 9.0; Mandrake 9.1; Knoppix 3.2; and Peanut 9.5.
 
 Now I am not an agent of Digit and neither has Digit paid me for writing

[ilugd] Re: Linux vs Microsoft (on the database support)

2003-08-14 Thread Shuvam Misra
Dear Tarun,

We too are constantly facing these questions of Microsoft versus
open source alternatives with our clients. In response, I find
that most members of the open source advocacy community I meet are
still repeating arguments which we all used four years ago, like
stuck records. Thought I'd try to share what I find:
1.  Unlike four years ago, the Microsoft server OSs today are
much more stable. To talk of memory leaks and instability
in WinXP today in the same terms we used to use for NT 4.0
a few years ago is probably inaccurate. I am getting report
after report of new XP and Win2K servers in steady daily
use showing uptimes of more than ONE YEAR. This would be
par for the course for any stable Unix version, let alone
Microsoft.
2.  On the other hand, the threat to customers from Microsoft
in terms of lock-in has INCREASED, not DECREASED. Very few
of the Linux users and advocates I encouter, including my
own colleagues in our office, seem to be aware of the new
lock-in mechanisms and schemes which are either ready or
will certainly be released in a short while... these are
not vapourware. These measures will make it even more difficult
(in money terms) for Microsoft customers to mix-and-match
proprietary and open-source components.
I suggest strongly that you take some time out and read the (long)
editorial note here:
http://www.aaxnet.com/editor/edit029.html

I couldn't abbreviate or summarise it properly if I wanted to...
it'd be a difficult job. Therefore, please read it (it's very
well written and readable, BTW) and pick up details from it
for buttressing your arguments.
If your customer has the patience to look at some of the new
measures being released from Microsoft, and has some sense to know
what's good for him, this report will scare the shit out of him.
It almost scared the shit out of me.
Microsoft, in my opinion, is showing new levels of desperation, in
a do-or-die bid for monopoly domination. If I were Microsoft's
chief strategist, and did an objective analysis of Microsoft's
strengths and weaknesses, I might have embarked on a path very
similar to what they are doing, as a purely business decision.
In other words, the strategy they seem to be following is probably
not the right thing to do if you start with a green-fields fresh
start, but it may be the best business decision for Microsoft today. By 
best, obviously, I mean best for Microsoft. This article brings
out some of this desperation. It may hurt the unwary corporate
customer severely. After all, in business, many deals are such that the
customer and the supplier are on opposite sides of the table... rarely
do we find that ideal win-win for all deal.

Try to see if you can capture some of this threat in your report to
your customer.
Shuvam

[ilugd] Office Depot Aids Monopoly

2003-08-14 Thread Shuvam Misra
Interesting article about how Microsoft is extending its monopoly
control over the PC market. It's interesting how devious and
indirect these attempts are... I had to actually read through
the full article to figure out how the Designed for Windows XP
logo can be used by Microsoft for monopoly control. Amazing.
Sometimes I admire the raw ingenuity of those chaps.
I know there has been some adverse reactions on this list to
discussions about Windows, and those opinions make sense to me.
However, I have decided to post this message about Microsoft,
because it may help some of us (e.g. Tarun Upadhyay) build
a stronger case for open source alternatives, which after all
attract all of us.

Re: [ilugd] anyone has spammers list???

2003-08-14 Thread Ambar Roy
 i need a list of well known spamming sites for my institute's new mail
server. can anyone help me? the new mail server runs the courier imap server
with qmail on RH 9.0.

Check out spamassassin @ www.spamassassin.org and the Open Relay Database @
www.ordb.org. Please do note that neither of these methods will give you
100% spam prevention. You will get a few false positives (i.e. correct mail
tagged as spam) and a lots of false negetives with spamassassin. And you
will have a few people not being able to send mail to your users regularly.
The ordb database seems to be decent, but my experience has been that it is
mostly legitimate mail that is stopped by ordb RBL. You can set up
spamassasin so that any mails tagged as spam has the subject line rewritten
or the message sent to a seperate spam box.

I administer a few commercial servers providing web space and email
facility. My experience with spam has been that it is best to ask users to
set up and maintain a spam software. You can install spamassassin on the
server and provide users an option to do the filtering on the server. Using
ORDB can be a pain, as I have seen that a lot of legitimate mails get
blocked by ordb enabled relays. One recent example of this was a customer
comming to me and telling me that one of my mail relays was functioning as
an open relay. It turned out that the relay in question was of Mantra
Online. If major ISPs can get listed in an RBL, then the whole idea of the
RBL goes out of the window, as it causes major headaches for everyone. OTOH
if everyone starts using a relatively sane RBL like ORDB, then at least most
techs at ISPs would be better educated.

 configure linux along with putting antivirus to scan

i had tried it sometimes back and found that u can possibly plug in a utility

So, i am really keen to know how this utility scans emails really. 
I am a newbie.

 i would like to help anyone who is a newbie to

 downloaded a script fro the internet and it just
 worked without any hassle.

 so if any body need my help, i would be glad to help.

[ilugd] [OT] 30 billion Winduhs crashes each year

2003-08-14 Thread Raj Mathur
[Honest... Gill Bates is the source of this figure! -- Raju]

Magic Number: 30 Billion
By John C. Dvorak
August 4, 2003 

So what actually happens when your Windows XP machine crashes and asks
if you want to send a report? The reports obviously accumulate in some
database, and I can only assume that when one bin piles up with
similar crash memos, the coders get to work. Exactly how many
notifications does Microsoft get? Nobody knows for sure, but based on
comments Bill Gates made at a recent meeting for analysts, the number
must be astronomical.

Gates said that 5 percent of Windows machines crash, on average, twice
daily. Put another way, this means that 10 percent of Windows machines
crash every day, or any given machine will crash about three times a
month. Since Bill is a math junkie, I have to assume this number is
real and based on something other than a phone survey. Those reports
seem like the obvious source.

For the last few days due to some stupid people our domain name was
facing problems so we could not receive mails. So i thought that was the
reason for me not receiving mails from ilugd. But on checking the

Re: [ilugd] anyone has spammers list???

2003-08-14 Thread Shuvam Misra
  i need a list of well known spamming sites for my institute's new mail
  server. can anyone help me? the new mail server runs the courier imap
  server with qmail on RH 9.0.

  you could try to integrate relays.ordb.org into qmail. This is basically a
 list of servers on relay and locks such sites from sending emails to your
 server. they also have soe third party links to some other such databases.

 Hope that helps.

While ORDB, RBL, etc, are all very good ideas, isn't it also necessary to
stop spams, not just spammers? I'd suggest that you extend your strategy to
include something like SpamAssassin. This program does not need to know
which IP address the email is coming from... it looks at the email
(headers and body) and determines whether it is a spam. Our tests with
about a hundred trial messages indicated 100% correct separation of spams
from non-spam. We've now built up a collection of several hundred spams,
which we will use for another round of tests before we actually install
it on our servers.

[ilugd] Debian CDs ?

2003-08-14 Thread Jasmeet S. Virdi
Hi all,
Debian has seven ISO files for download ! Does anyone have any
idea as to which ones should be downloaded ? I could figure out this
much CD's 2 through 5 will each boot a different flavor depending on
which CD-ROM is inserted.

CD 1 Allows a selection of kernel images to boot from (the idepci flavor
is the default if no selection is made). CD 2 Boots the 'vanilla'
flavor. CD 3 Boots the 'compact' flavor. CD 4 Boots the 'idepci' flavor.
CD 5 Boots the 'bf2.4' flavor.

Q) Any ideas on what CD 6 - 7 - 8 contain ?
Q) Does anyone have Debian 3.0r1 ?

[ilugd] Linux vs microsoft (on the database support)

2003-08-14 Thread Tarun Upadhyay
My company is currently porting software for a customer.
 
The current software is highly oracle-intensive with lots of
business-logic in the database coded as stored procedures and triggers etc
in rather oracle-specific way (that is, not ANSI SQL).
 
The current software is intended for high-end banks etc with high
transaction volume.
 
They now want to extend the software to both high-end and low-end customers.
And, hence, they want us to port the system to .net and ms-sql server from
the current oracle / solaris platform.
 
I am currently proposing the software to be ported to linux instead with
oracle staying so that the porting cost is decreased.
The customer is ready to listen as long as we provide him convincing
economical and technological arguments.
 
His current arguments are:
a) oracle is only supported on red hat advanced server (or similar
advanced servers from other vendors like Suse) which costs $1400 which is
no cheaper than windows.
b) anything but oracle or ms sql server (specially postgres / mysql etc) can
not handle the load he is looking at.
c) how do i support low-end customers as oracle is so expensive (about 18
lakhs per CPU + more licensing for extra options like RAC which we need for
clustering).
d) linux is not good enough in terms of scalablity and high-availability for
high-end customers 
 
my current arguments are:
a) red hat advanced server is not need and if we buy it its only one time
cost and not recurring like windows. (Question for the list: am I on the
shaky ground here. does anybody provide some data on red hat clusters vs.
windows clusters specially from load balancing point of view)
b) for very low-end customers, we can evaluate and use Postgres (porting to
postgres should be cheaper and faster than porting to ms-sql server)
(question for the list: is that really true? what kind of worms I could run
into?)
d) linux is as good as solaris etc on HA and scalability (Question for the
list: is that really true? what could be potential bottlenecks I could run
into, say, compared to Solaris)
 
More arguments and options are requested.

When you end up spending Rs 400k on software that can be replaced by free
alternatives, it is good business sense to switch to the free alternative,
unless you end up with more than Rs.400k additional costs over the full

We have been urged to drop support for SCO Unix from this release of
GCC, as a protest against this irresponsible aggression against free
software and GNU/Linux.  However, the direct effect of this action
would fall on users of GCC rather than on SCO.  For the moment, we
have decided not to take that action.  The Free Software Foundation's
overriding goal is to protect the freedom of the free software
community, including developers and users, but we also want to serve
users.  Protecting the community from an attack sometimes requires
steps that will inconvenience some in the community.  Such a step is
not yet necessary, in our view, but we cannot indefinitely continue to
ignore the aggression against our community taken by a party that has
long profited from the commercial distribution of our programs.  We
urge users of SCO Unix to make clear to SCO their disapproval of the
company's aggression against the free software community.  We will
have a further announcement concerning continuing support of SCO Unix
by GCC before our next release.

BTW, read this thread :

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-07/msg01564.html

This was discussed a lot in the GCC community and most developers did
not seem to favour deprecating SCO support.

As of now, it does not seem that GCC is pulling the plug on SCO
support.

Hi all,

Ok people due to some problems did not receive mail from the list or for
that matter anywhere in the world except, and i reiterate except from
the RedHat 9 Shrike Mailing List. 

My question is when our server name could not be resolved by anybody in
the world how was shrike-list able to send me mails regularly without
fail. Somebody please explain, this has been eating my mind since the
last 2 days.

And by saying not resolved by anybody I really mean anybody since we
were trying like mad to find out the problem and the initial blame was
us since we recently upgraded the server to RH 9 from a Mandrake system
so we did not realise it was our ISP messing with our alloted domain
name. 

Although I could not reply to the shrike list as the list was bouncing
it back with the following error.

These printers (both USB and Parallel Port) et recognized when being
configured by cups or ldp but when test page or printing is sent nothing
happens. The reason for this is that every time the printer is started
it needs to be sent firmware to it. This is to be done once every time
printer goes through power on / off cycle. here after the printer works
perfectly. See details of your printer at

CERT Advisory CA-2003-21 GNU Project FTP Server Compromise

   Original issue date: August 13, 2003
   Last revised: --
   Source: CERT/CC

   A complete revision history is at the end of this file.

Overview

   The  CERT/CC has received a report that the system housing the primary
   FTP servers for the GNU software project was compromised.

I. Description

   The GNU Project, principally sponsored by the Free Software Foundation
   (FSF),  produces  a  variety of freely available software. The CERT/CC
   has  learned  that  the system housing the primary FTP servers for the
   GNU  software  project,  gnuftp.gnu.org,  was  root  compromised by an
   intruder.  The more common host names of ftp.gnu.org and alpha.gnu.org
   are  aliases  for  the  same  compromised  system.  The  compromise is
   reported to have occurred in March of 2003.

   The FSF has released an announcement describing the incident.

   Because  this  system  serves  as  a  centralized  archive  of popular
   software,  the  insertion  of  malicious  code  into  the  distributed
   software  is  a  serious  threat. As the above announcement indicates,
   however,  no  source  code  distributions  are  believed  to have been
   maliciously modified at this time.

II. Impact

   The  potential  exists  for  an  intruder to have inserted back doors,
   Trojan   horses,   or  other  malicious  code  into  the  source  code
   distributions of software housed on the compromised system.

III. Solution

   We   encourage   sites  using  the  GNU  software  obtained  from  the
   compromised system to verify the integrity of their distribution.

   Sites  that  mirror  the  source  code  are  encouraged  to verify the
   integrity of their sources. We also encourage users to inspect any and
   all  other software that may have been downloaded from the compromised
   site.  Note that it is not always sufficient to rely on the timestamps
   or  file  sizes  when trying to determine whether or not a copy of the
   file has been modified.

Verifying checksums

   The  FSF has produced PGP-signed lists of known-good MD5 hashes of the
   software packages housed on the compromised server. These lists can be
   found at

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/before-2003-08-01.md5sums.asc
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/before-2003-08-01.md5sums.asc

   Note that both of these files and the announcement above are signed by
   Bradley  Kuhn,  Executive  Director of the FSF, with the following PGP
   key:

pub  1024D/DB41B387 1999-12-09 Bradley M. Kuhn [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Key fingerprint = 4F40 645E 46BE 0131 48F9  92F6 E775 E324 DB41 B387
uidBradley M. Kuhn (bkuhn99) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
uidBradley M. Kuhn [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sub  2048g/75CA9CB3 1999-12-09

   The CERT/CC believes this key to be valid.

   As a matter of good security practice, the CERT/CC encourages users to
   verify,  whenever  possible, the integrity of downloaded software. For
   more information, see IN-2001-06.

Appendix A. - Vendor Information

   This  appendix  contains  information  provided  by  vendors  for this
   advisory.  As  vendors  report new information to the CERT/CC, we will
   update this section and note the changes in our revision history. If a
   particular  vendor  is  not  listed  below, we have not received their
   comments.

Free Software Foundation


   The current files on alpha.gnu.org and ftp.gnu.org as of 2003-08-02 have
   all been verified, and their md5sums and the reasons we believe the
   md5sums can be trusted are in:

   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/before-2003-08-01.md5sums.asc
   ftp://alpha.gnu.org/before-2003-08-01.md5sums.asc

   We are updating that file and the site as we confirm good md5sums of
   additional files.  It is theoretically possible that downloads between
   March 2003 and July 2003 might have been source-compromised, so we
   encourage everyone to re-download sources and compare with the current
   copies for files on the site.

   Foundation for their timely assistance in this matter.
 

[ilugd] How to detect speed of NIC?

2003-08-14 Thread Sudev Barar
I had posted this earlier and am still confused at contrary results by
two utilities ifconfig and ethtools. Can any one explain?

As you can see there were two replies and I tried both. I am baffled by
the outputs as below since one says NIC is connected at full duplex
100mbps the other says HalfDuplex 10mbps:

OUTPUT 1:
# /bin/dmesg | grep eth0
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xf88d4c00, 00:80:48:15:8b:f9,

eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C'
eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner
ability 45e1.

OUTPUT 2:
]# /usr/sbin/ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes:  Not reported
Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: 10Mb/s
Duplex: Half
Port: MII
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: off
Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: d
Current message level: 0x (-1)
Link detected: no

Why should the two utilities report different?? Any one who can tell
which is the correct output?

[ilugd] problem with knoppix

2003-08-14 Thread rajeevmamc
Sir,
I am used to working on windows and now I want to experience linux. When I boot my 
system from LiFY CD, the system starts itself, but after some time, during the process 
of installation, the monitor hangs, like in a standby mode. It does'nt wake up 
whatever I do. I have celeron 466, 64MB, Samsung samtron 15 monitor. Same thing 
happened with earlier Knoppix CD. Windows install and run normally. How can I solve 
this problem. Can I install linux on a different partition and run it normally from 
the boot, like in windows. Please advice.

Package: kdelibs-crypto
Vulnerability  : several
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids: CAN-2003-0459, CAN-2003-0370

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in kdelibs:

- - CAN-2003-0459: KDE Konqueror for KDE 3.1.2 and earlier does not
  remove authentication credentials from URLs of the
  user:[EMAIL PROTECTED] form in the HTTP-Referer header, which could
  allow remote web sites to steal the credentials for pages that link
  to the sites.

- - CAN-2003-0370: Konqueror Embedded and KDE 2.2.2 and earlier does not
  validate the Common Name (CN) field for X.509 Certificates, which
  could allow remote attackers to spoof certificates via a
  man-in-the-middle attack.

These vulnerabilities are described in the following security
advisories from KDE:

http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20030729-1.txt
http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20030602-1.txt

For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
fixed in version 2.2.2-6woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
kdelibs version 4:3.1.3-1.

We recommend that you update your kdelibs-crypto package.
