  well i had gone through the book suggested by you (
it was one of my text books in 7th sem), but it talks
about client server on the network(its a network
programing book than a book on client server
architecture), but I want to know how we can do client
server programming efficiently for software such as
microkernel based operating system or multi-tier
architecture based databes like Oracle etc etc.

A perfectly acceptable position "You can drive my car but please don't

I would say go by LinuxLingam's advice, bring in your whole PC(and
nothing but the whole PC) along with printer, modem and the work.
Just to clarify my position.
I only meant to comment on the technical feasibility.

We seem to have a lot of volunteers, so depending on availability of

Ash(Lin)s place we can install "our" favourite Linux Distribution for

Sure you can run the computer using just keys. I do that a lot but mouse
is handy device.
Are you booting into level 5 (X display) or level 3 (text)?  I assume
former as for later you need only keys to log in.
Try and see various combinations with "alt" or "Ctl" and F* keys. Any
specific combo you want...write in.
BUT why mouse did not work? I reckon this has nothing to do with
partitioning. May be you have not specified proper mouse device. Look at
/etc/X11/XF86Config file under section mice...what device is specified?

I am sure RedHat will be having some GUI frontend to
accomplish this task. Sorry, I have not used RedHat
for a long long time. But the USB mouse is addressed
in Linux as /dev/psaux. Edit the XF86Config ( or it
may be XF86Config-4 that your system uses) file to
point to this device.

S-Quadra Advisory #2003-11-24

Topic: Monit 4.1 HTTP interface Multiple Security Vulnerabilities
Severity: High
Vendor URL: http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/
Advisory URL: http://www.s-quadra.com/advisories/Adv-20031124.txt
Release date: 22 Nov 2003

1. DESCRIPTION

Monit (http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/) is a utility for managing and 
monitoring, processes, files, directories and devices on a Unix system.
It conducts automatic maintenance and repair and can execute meaningful 
causal actions in error situations.
Monit provides a HTTP(S) interface and you can use a browser to access 
the monit server.

There exists several security vulnerabilites in Monit HTTP interface, 
which could allow an attacker
in the worst case to gain root access to the system.

2. DETAILS

-- Vulnerability 1: Long http method stack overflow

By supplying an overly large http request method and attacker could 
trigger a stack overflow condition which may lead to a remote root 
compromise.
Below is a successfull run of 'xonya' Monit <= 4.1 remote root exploit 
(PoC):

$./xonya -t 3 -p 2812 192.168.3.12

Selected platform 3 ...
Retaddr is 0x, nulladdr is 0x ...
Connected to 192.168.3.12:2812
Sending the request ...
Got a remote shell:

Linux 2.4.20 i686 unknown
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) 
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
exit

-- Vulnerability 2: Denial of Service via negative Content-Length field

By supplying a negative value in Content-Length header an attacker could 
cause a xmalloc() failure and kill a Monit daemon.
Below is a successfull run of 'donit' Monit <= 4.1 remote Denial of 
Service exploit (PoC):

$./donit -p 2812 192.168.3.12

Connecting to 192.168.3.12:2812 ...
Sending the request ...
Done.

$ nc -v 192.168.3.12 2812
lina.s-quadra.com [192.168.3.12] 2812 (?) : Connection refused

3. FIX INFORMATION

S-Quadra alerted Monit development team to this issue on 21th November 2003.
New version of Monit 4.1.1 is available at 
http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/dist/monit-4.1.1.tar.gz which fixes the 
reported security vulnerabilities.

4. CREDITS

Evgeny Legerov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is responsible for discovering 
this issue.

Re: [ilugd] The December Meet

[Mithun Bhattacharya]

I migrated a server from somewhere in Virginia on a RAID setup to a
desktop in Atlanta without RAID over the internet. I obviously wasnt
present in either of the places.

All one has to be careful of are the following :
1.Confirm all the hardware are supported by the OS.
2. Make sure RAID disks are configured properly.
3. If RAID doesnt exist in the destination - make sure /etc/raidtab is
renamed.
4. Update /etc/fstab to point everything in the right partitions.
5. Update /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf to point the bootloader at
the right direction.
6. Create a new /boot/initrd if the hard disk/filesystem is different. 
7. Update MBR if you are using lilo.
8. Update /etc/modules.conf for any settings that is required in the
destination.

I think that covers all the critical areas - ofcourse X might require
reconfiguration etc.. but your OS will definitely boot by now.

My advice is - why don't you just grab a Knoppix CD.
Run it off the CD to see that every thing is fine and
looks as you would have liked. Use the
Knoppix-installer script to install it on your
harddisk. Amend the "/etc/apt/apt.conf" and
"/etc/apt/sources.list" to your liking and do, as
root, an "apt-get update" and if you like an "apt-get
upgrade". Forget that it is Knoppix that you
installed. It is a Debian system like any other and in
the process, it will save you much time and hassles,
unless of course, you want to go through installing
the complete Debian by hand.

I have a question.. How important is it to bring your whole PC for

uses Linux thru a Knoppix (Lify) CD.)
I understand that the correct device drivers won't get installed, but
they can be replaced once the disk is on the correct PC.. Right?
Right. One just has to ensure that kernel can be found by the loader and 
that the fstab is correct. Thus (in simplified terms) if you install 
with the hard disk as /dev/hda (primary master) and then attach that 
hard disk to another PC as primary master. Things should work and you 
can have an opportunity to load the changed device driver modules, or 
something like kudzu can do it for you.

A little-bit of tweaking will fix the problem even if you change the 
location of the hard disk from /dev/hda to say /dev/hdc, but then I 
guess you want to avoid that scenario in this case.

[snip]

hard-disk installs work if the pc is *identical*. i know vipul had
identical pcs at his site, so he installed a complex bunch of Oses on
one pc, then just did a blind disk to disk copy for all other hard disks
on other pcs in less than 10 minutes each.
:-)

Yeah that was a nice experiance, considering that each of those machines 
had to get both (the mukt OS) and (a bloated virus with mouse support) 
installed. dd if=/dev/sourcedisk of=/dev/targetdisk bs=4096 worked 
peacefully 40 duplications in 3 hours flat! (Considering we used just 
two stations to replicate)

PS: Yes I know I've been invisible on the list and in meets since long, 
but it gets a little difficult (to attend meets atleast) given that I 
seem to be in Mumbai ;-) I hope to become more active on the list 
atleast, now that I have kind-of-sort-of-maybe settled down here. :-)

BTW: I missed the announcement of the Dec meet. When is it? I might be 
in Delhi from 19th to 23rd December, any chance the meet falls during 
this period?

   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:  Updated iproute packages fix local security vulnerability
Advisory ID:   RHSA-2003:316-01
Issue date:2003-11-24
Updated on:2003-11-24
Product:   Red Hat Linux
Keywords:  DoS
Cross references:  
Obsoletes: 
CVE Names: CAN-2003-0856
- -

1. Topic:

Updated iproute packages that close a locally-exploitable denial of service
vulnerability are now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.1 for iSeries (64 bit) - ppc
Red Hat Linux 7.1 for pSeries (64 bit) - ppc
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386

3. Problem description:

The iproute package contains advanced IP routing and network device
configuration tools.

Herbert Xu reported that iproute can accept spoofed messages sent on the
kernel netlink interface by other users on the local machine.  This could
lead to a local denial of service attack.  The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0856 to
this issue. 
 
Users of iproute should upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a
patch that checks that netlink messages actually came from the kernel.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.  Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate.  The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:

https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt

yup ashwin, just one pc will be demoed with a live install. not a whole
slug of them. relax.

so newbies, one of you volunteer to get your pc along, and tushar will
polish it up for you. ta! da!

:-)

tushar, what if a newbie decides to bring a laptop instead of a desktop
for an install?


ashwin, you have not a strange hard drive in your machine,
but a strange OS in your hard disk. i talk about the one beyond the veil

Hey, listen!
Anyone wants Linux loaded, bring your own machine. Better still, learn to do
so yourself. I ain't gonna permit strange hard disks to be attached to my
machine. Never know where they've been. Besides I'm a one-machine man.
Seriously though, its a newbie meet, not an install-fest. That requires a
totally different administrative setup, approach and expertise.It's a good
idea, but at perhaps the Jan meet.
So I feel we may limit the Linux loading to one machine with
fedora/mandrake/suse for showing the ease of loading Linux and  run the
Seven Steps on my machine.
Regards, Ashwin

[ilugd] installing dedian over internet - but how to get network driver?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

folks

i am trying to install debian (kernel 2.4.18 or higher) on an ibm t40
laptop. i would like to do it over the net. this laptop has the 1 gig
network card which (i believe) needs the intel/pro e1000 driver. problem is
that my distro does not have this driver (i have the debian 3.0 disks). 

i have got a base install done (absolutely basic, no X). i can also sneak
into the XP dualbook to get and download the network card driver.

so, question is - is there a way to do this, without purchasing a new set
of disks (which might include the e1000 driver)?

all help welcome, and thanks in advance.

right, but then that's not a newbie who can do that!
:-)

recommend: get your whole pc. heck! if you can get the printer as well,
to learn how to configure the printer, so much the better.

have a modem? bring that too if you wish.

hard-disk installs work if the pc is *identical*. i know vipul had
identical pcs at his site, so he installed a complex bunch of Oses on
one pc, then just did a blind disk to disk copy for all other hard disks
on other pcs in less than 10 minutes each.

Normally this should work. I have done it a few times. The trusty kudzu

I have a question.. How important is it to bring your whole PC for
installation.. A friend of mine once took his harddisk to some other
guy's place, got Linux installed on it and then put it back in his own
PC. I don't remember the specifics, but the procedure bombed.. (n he now
uses Linux thru a Knoppix (Lify) CD.)

I understand that the correct device drivers won't get installed, but
they can be replaced once the disk is on the correct PC.. Right?

i have gnuwinII, i think raj also has a copy somewhere. could demo the
seven steps, if you have a dual-boot machine with win and lin

tushar could then do a demo of a live installation on a newbie's
machine, of fedora. newbie must contact tushar and give details of
machine prior to meet.

[ilugd] 8 steps to shoooo SCO away ;)

[Puneet]

Is it just us, or could Gartner's latest advice for Linux-packing corporations have 
similar application in slightly different contexts? 

Gartner kicks off normally enough, sagely observing that SCO looks in some danger of 
being eaten by its own lawyers, but the concluding recommendations are somewhat 
wackier than usual. 

Keep a low profile and do not divulge details of Linux deployments. 
"The cops! Quick, get a tarpaulin over that... Linux deployments? Oh no, no, we wuz at 
Rigoletto's..." 

Until a judgment in a case would unequivocally warrant it, Linux users should not pay 
SCO the license fees it has asked for to settle its allegations of infringement of 
intellectual property rights. 
"We don't owe youse punks nuttin' - come in and get it if you think you're tough 
enough, copper..." 

Do not permit SCO to audit your premises without legal authorization. 
"You ain't coming in without a warrant..." 

Your legal counsel should monitor developments and understand the infringement claims. 
"My client was at Rigoletto's. Do you have a warrant?" 

Pressure high-profile Linux vendors to contractually guarantee against infringement 
claims by covering court costs. Evaluate Hewlett-Packard's willingness to indemnify 
Linux customers. 
"Gee, wouldn't it be just awful if SCO found out what goes on at Rigoletto's?" 

Fence off the innocuous Linux deployments (such as network-edge solutions) from the 
performance-intensive ones. Where feasible, delay deployment of high-performance 
systems until the end of 1Q04 to see what SCO will do. 
"Just a few soft drinks and people going about their lawful business here, officer. 
No, we don't know nothin' about those bottles you dredged out of the river..." 

If high-performance Linux systems are in production, develop plans that would enable a 
quick changeover in case SCO wins a favorable judgment and requires the Linux kernel 
code to be substantially changed. Unix systems are the best alternatives. 
"Is there gas in the car? Yes there's gas in the car..." 

For customers of SCO Open Server and UnixWare, an unfavorable judgment could cause SCO 
to cease operations or sell itself. That could harm future support and maintenance. 
Just in case, prepare a plan for migrating to another platform within two years. 
"Machinegun MacBride's in way over his head and he's hocked himself to the DC mob. 
We'll need to work with somebody legit when prohibition ends. What about Noodles 
McNealy?" 

The full Gartner advisory, by George "Scarface" Weiss, is available here.

Puneet Goel

Regretfully, I am vetoing your suggestion for entrance fees. I'm of the 
opinion that it would act like a barrier. A better model is the present
one 
ie to request those who earn to shell out Rs 50/- or Rs 100/- as per
your 
ichha; students may dish out less or need not dish out if they are hard
up. 
In this way we pay for our eats/drinks. Newbies buy their CDs at Rs 30/-
or 
so.

I welcome people to a Newbies meet. If they come, they may become
serious.
Thanks for your involvement :-)

Re: [ilugd] Linux support

[Naresh Narang]

Anuj,

 I have nothing to do with scenario you mentioned.
I was informing about use of Linux as server platform
on Compaq hardware and my recent interaction with HP
guys. They sent me a replacement Processor because of
this error:

"MTRR: Your BIOS does not setup processors..." or
something to that effect. There was nothing wrong with
processor in the system as such  :D
