 One feature that I have not worked out how is to make a pps like files
 that just starts the show without having to go through couple of
 clicks...ideas?

pps is nothing but a simple way to prevent novices from plagiarizing
information from the presentation. you get the original ppt by simply
renaming pps to ppt and vice-versa. it is a M$ office dependent feature in
my opinion. no comments on 'The Firm's' philosophy on security ;-).

Re: [ilugd] Doubling Download Speed

2003-12-03 Thread Varun Anand

I *believe* its not possible as the 24 hours online won't allow you to
do so. If by any chance you manage to introduce a proxy at your client
end, it should be a transparent one and that is impossible with a single
LAN card.
thanks
my i can install a proxy at his place. the proxy works fine... a few months
back i had opted out of the connection for one month, as most of the month i
was out of station. i tried the proxy it worked just fine. and the cable
waalah has not been able to detect it as of now.
what i want is that my computer routes half of the traffic through the proxy
and half through the 24online server (by the way which does not require a
proxy server).
cheers

Question was / is how to get OO to start a show straight on clicking the
file icon? This is more to help the new users where we post a link to
them through email and ask them to click on the link to see the intro
slide show. Now they first click on the link which opens OO Impress and
then we have to tell them to use menu / key combination to actually
start the show.

[ilugd] XFree86 crashes with kernel 2.6.0-test9 nvidia patch

2003-12-03 Thread Bhaskar Dutta
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi,
 I am having problems configuring the nVidia drivers with kernel 2.6.0-test9
and XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1. I am running debian sid on my machine with a
16MB Riva TNT agp card.  All previous kernels upto 2.4.22 have never shown
any problems.
After applying the patches from minion.de and compiling the module nvidia.ko
for the custom kernel 2.6.0-test9, X refuses to start. The nvidia splash
screen shows up but thats it; nothing more. XFree86.0.log gives the
following:

Fatal server error:

  Is that a bug? Googling led me to a thread which discussed a similar crash
with 2.5 kernel but it lead to a dead end. Any pointers ??

Bhaskar.

GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200312-01
---=

  Summary : rsync.gentoo.org rotation server compromised=20
 Date : 2003-12-02
  Exploit : remote
  CVE : - None -
 Priority : Normal
---=


SUMMARY:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

On December 2nd at approximately 03:45 UTC, one of the servers that makes up
the rsync.gentoo.org rotation was compromised via a remote exploit.  At this
point, we are still performing forensic analysis.  However, the compromised
system had both an IDS and a file integrity checker installed and we have a
very detailed forensic trail of what happened once the box was breached, so=
 we
are reasonably confident that the portage tree stored on that box was
unaffected.  The attacker appears to have installed a rootkit and
modified/deleted some files to cover their tracks, but left the server
otherwise untouched. =20

The box was in a compromised state for approximately one hour before it was
discovered and shut down.  During this time, approximately 20 users
synchronized against the portage mirror stored on this box.  The method used
to gain access to the box remotely is still under investigation.  We will
release more details once we have ascertained the cause of the remote explo=
it.

This box is not an official Gentoo infrastructure box and is instead donated
by a sponsor.  The box provides other services not related to Gentoo Linux =
as
well and the sponsor has requested that we not publicly identify the box at
this time.  Because the Gentoo part of this box appears to be unaffected by
this exploit, we are currently honoring the sponsor's request.  That said, =
if
at any point, we determine that any file in the portage tree was
inappropriately modified, we will release full details about the compromised
server.

SOLUTION
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Again, based on the forensic analysis done so far, we are reasonably confid=
ent
that no files within the Portage tree on the box were affected.  However, t=
he
server has been removed from all rsync.*.gentoo.org rotations and will rema=
in
so until the forensic analysis has been completed and the box has been wiped
and rebuilt.  Thus, users preferring an extra level of security may ensure
that they have a correct and accurate portage tree by running:

emerge sync

Which will perform a sync against another server, thus ensuring that all fi=
les
are up to date.

 S-Quadra Advisory #2003-12-03

 Topic: GnuPG 1.2.3, 1.3.3 external HKP interface format string issue
 Severity: Low
 Vendor URL: http://www.gnupg.org
 Advisory URL: http://www.s-quadra.com/advisories/Adv-20031203.txt
 Release date: 3 Dec 2003

 1. DESCRIPTION

 GnuPG is a complete and free replacement for PGP.
 Because it does not use the patented IDEA algorithm, it can be used
 without any restrictions.
 GnuPG is a RFC2440 (OpenPGP) compliant application.

 GnuPG has external HKP inteface which is marked as experimental and not
 enabled by default in 1.2 stable branch and to use it you should compile
 GnuPG with '--enable-external-hkp' configuration option.
 Also, on 1.3 devel branch external HKP interface is enabled by default
 and to disable you should compile GnuPG with '--disable-hkp'
 configuration option.

 When the external HKP interface is enabled, GnuPG will make use of
 'gpgkeys_hkp' utility for keyserver accesses.

 There exists a format string vulnerability in 'gpgkeys_hkp' utility
 which would allow a malicious
 keyserver in the worst case to execute an arbitrary code on the user's
 machine.

 2. DETAILS

 The offending code can be found in keyserver/gpgkeys_hkp.c:

 snip
 int get_key(char *getkey)
 {
   int rc,gotit=0;
   char search[29];
   char *request;
   struct http_context hd;

   ...

   if(verbose2)
 fprintf(console,gpgkeys: HTTP URL is \%s\\n,request);

   rc=http_open_document(hd,request,http_flags);
   if(rc!=0)
 {
   fprintf(console,gpgkeys: HKP fetch error: %s\n,
   rc==G10ERR_NETWORK?strerror(errno):g10_errstr(rc));
   fprintf(output,KEY 0x%s FAILED\n,getkey);
 }
   else
 {
   unsigned int maxlen=1024,buflen;
   byte *line=NULL;

   while(iobuf_read_line(hd.fp_read,line,buflen,maxlen))
 {
   maxlen=1024;

   if(gotit)
 {
   // S-Quadra: here is where format string bug lives
   fprintf(output,line);
   if(strcmp(line,-END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-\n)==0)
 break;
 }
   else
 if(strcmp(line,-BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-\n)==0)
   {
 // S-Quadra: here is where format string bug lives
 fprintf(output,line);
 gotit=1;
   }
 }
   ...
   return 0;
 }

 /snip

 3. FIX INFORMATION

 S-Quadra alerted GnuPG development team to this issue on 27th November
2003.
 For 1.2 branch fix available in CVS, latest devel version 1.3.4 also
 contains fix for the reported bug.

 4. CREDITS

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

 Hi all,
 The problem goes like this, i have a movie and i want to capture one

 since mplayer directly writes to the VDO buffer, the image is not
 visible, rather just a blank screen. Tried the same thing on a windows

 Media player shows up with a blank screen.
  Any pointers on how to achieve what i want? The movie is in mpeg

Dear Virdi Saheb,
 
Try using Xine player (I got with Mandrake 9.0)  with the help of which you could 
easily capture a particular scene of a movie.  If using RH 9.0 you could down load the 
relevant RPM of xine player and then install it.
