a brainstorming session is required before the event.
lets plan asap.

also, i would suggest to use
1. standard linux distro with good mpi library (i am fond of lam) with
network boot
2. a bootable cd with preconfigured settings

but then i am not very sure how many machine volunteers bring will have
network boot option?
lets start making a small inventory for this.

That is something like it's commercial policy. Every distribution has a policy, for 
example the Debian policy doesn't allow proprietary softwares in it's distribution 
tree -- that's the debian policy.

Ya Raj is right. Cluster knoppix works on OpenMosix and dont have MPI. To night I will 
try to download and check the ISO from flash mob 

PS: do someone had downlaoded the ISO already. So that I can have a look on it.

hi ,
the redhat 9.0 disks 4,5&6 has only source rpms .So if want to install
any software frmo source you can simply do it using those disks.
But if you want to install the software which u think u missed out then
start the add/Remove applications from the menu and insert in your first
cd i.e,cd 1 of redhat.Then it will start the installation process and
ask you to insert the appropriate disks..
Regds,
Pankaj


thanks pankaj for the help, i need to go a long way before getting into the 
source of softwares

[ilugd] RH 7.1 not able to access GUI

[manoj.thakkar]

Hi all,



I have a RH 7.1 system which was working fine suddenly the system
stopped showing anything on the screen may be bcoz of  inactivity I
thought and restarted the system but even after writing reboot nothing
happened so I rebooted it manually by powering off and on

But now the GUI is not working evenif I write startx  on the root prompt
I am getting the following errors



error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority



Could not create lock file in /tmp/tX0-lock



I google but couldn' find anything specific tried altering my XF86config
file manually as well as using the setup command from shell still no
luck

I also tried copying XF86config from some other linux system and
modifying it as per my system still no luck .

Is there someone who has faced such problem before and can help me.



Thanks & Regards

Manoj Thakkar

[ilugd] Microsoft WiX Code Released to SourceForge.Net

[Sandip Bhattacharya]

On Monday, April 5, 2004, as part of the Shared Source Initiative, 
Microsoft released the source code for the Windows Installer XML (WiX) 
developer tool to SourceForge under the IBM Common Public License or 
CPL. The WiX project is the first Shared Source Initiative to go 
"public" on Source Forge rather than a Microsoft site. It is also the 
first to use an externally created Open Source license. Microsoft 
supports the idea that a software developer should be free to choose how 
they license their work and for the goals of WiX, the CPL was the right 
fit.

[ilugd] Is Google currently storing multiple copies of the entire web in RAM?

[Sandip Bhattacharya]

http://blog.topix.net/archives/11.html

[...]
The biggest RAM database of all...
An overlooked feature that made Google really cool in the beginning was 
their snippets. This is the excerpt of text that shows a few sample 
sentences from each web page matching your search. Google's snippets 
show just the part of the web page that have your search terms in them; 
other search engines before always showed the same couple of sentences 
from the start of the web page, no matter what you had searched for.

Consider the insane cost to implement this simple feature. Google has to 
keep a copy of every web page on the Internet on their servers in order 
to show you the piece of the web page where your search terms hit. 
Everything is served from RAM, only booted from disk. And they have 
multiple separate search clusters at their co-locations. This means that 
Google is currently storing multiple copies of the entire web in RAM. My 
napkin is hard to read with all these zeroes on it, but that's a lot of 
memory. Talk about barrier to entry.

[Very apt in the light of the current thread on flashmob 
supercomp/clustering ;) - Sandip]

http://blog.topix.net/archives/16.html

[...]
Google has taken the last 10 years of systems software research out of 
university labs, and built their own proprietary, production quality 
system. What is this platform that Google is building? It's a 
distributed computing platform that can manage web-scale datasets on 
100,000 node server clusters. It includes a petabyte, distributed, fault 
tolerant filesystem, distributed RPC code, probably network shared 
memory and process migration. And a datacenter management system which 
lets a handful of ops engineers effectively run 100,000 servers. Any of 
these projects could be the sole focus of a startup.

[ilugd] Another Suitable Place for ILUGD - Supercomputer

[Mayank Jain]

Hi guyz,

Last night i got a brilliant idea, why not we have
this flashmobComputing stuff in my college (Maharaja
Agarsen Inst. of Technology)

Place = Rohini, Sect-22
Computers = 350+ = no probs (all linux)
Cabling = already there
switches = already there (dunno about gigabit
switches)
Space = no probs
Electricity = no probs
Refreshments = canteen

BUT herez the catch... I have to ask my Director & my
SysAdmin. Some of u guys may have to meet them to
convince them & show the enthu of our group.

I'll confirm today after speaking to them,

until then, keep planning...

Mayank Jain
just another volunteer...

we also have gourav, and i think anindya who volunteered their site.
lemme see. 350+ computers here, probably 100 at gourav's, and another
150 to 200 at anindya's. if we could inter-connect these, what would we
get? the question though it how, look at the gigantic distances between
these places. wifiMax is the answer, but who's got wifiMax?

which reminds me, i should stop thinking at this time of the early day.

[ilugd] (fwd) Advisory: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Monit

[Raj Mathur]

[Please upgrade if you use Monit on any platform -- Raju]

This is an RFC 1153 digest.
(1 message)
--

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Advisory: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Monit
Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2004 14:08:36 -0400

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Monit

I. Product Description

As quoted from http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/ web page:

"monit is a utility for managing and monitoring, processes, files,
directories and devices on a Unix system. Monit conducts automatic
maintenance and repair and can execute meaningful causal actions in error
situations. E.g. monit can start a process if it does not run, restart a
process if it does not respond and stop a process if it uses to much
resources. You may use monit to monitor files, directories and devices for
changes, such as timestamp changes, checksum changes or size changes. You
can also use monit to monitor remote hosts; monit can ping a remote host
and can check port connections and protocols."

II. Affected Systems

Stable: Monit 4.2 and prior
Beta: Monit 4.3 Beta 2 and prior

III. Vulnerability Description

Three vulnerabilities were found in Monit during a simple code review.  All
of the vulnerabilities are in Monit's HTTP/HTTPS administration interfaces,
and as such can only be exploited if the interface is enabled and
accessible.  Two of the vulnerabilities lie in the Basic authentication
code, while one vulnerability lies in the processing of POST requests.  

* Basic Authentication Out-of-Bounds Read (Denial of Service)

When faced with a Basic authentication request without a password, Monit
will decrement a pointer returned by a strchr() call without appropriate
NULL pointer checking.  The error results in a segmentation fault during a
strcpy() call.  This request can be generated with a simple web browser. 
This vulnerability does not allow users to gain privileges on the server. 
For instance.  Specifically, if the base64-decoded credentials string does
not contain a colon, the vulnerability can be exploited.

* Basic Authentication Buffer Overflow (Remote Root)

When faced with a Basic authentication request with an overly-long user
name (> 256 characters), vulnerable versions of Monit will overrun a
stack-based buffer.  This potentially allows a remote attacker to gain root
privileges.

* POST Input Off-By-One (Exploitability Varies)

When faced with a POST submission that is exactly 1,024 bytes, Monit
suffers from an off-by-one overflow.  Exploitability depends upon the
version of gcc used to compile the application.  Some compilers will allow
this overflow to modify the frame pointer, potentially controlling stack
frames.

* UPDATE: Integer Overflow in POST Input Handler (Initially discovered by
S-Quadra)

S-Quadra discovered that a large HTTP POST would cause an xmalloc() call
within the WBA to fail.  This issue was fixed in 4.2.1 as a denial of
service.  In fact, this code also contained an exploitable integer
overflow.  By specifying a Content-Length header of -1, a zero-byte heap
allocation is performed.  An attacker can then input an arbitrary amount of
data, overwriting significant portions of the heap.  My research suggests
that this issue could also be exploited.

IV. Impact

A remote attacker with access to Monit's WBA via HTTP or HTTPS clients
could potentially gain the privileges of the root user.

V. Vendor Response

April 3, 2004:
* First two vulnerabilities discovered
* Monit team notified via e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
April 4, 2004:
* Response from Jan Henrik-Haukeland ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
* Patch for first two reports committed to CVS
* Third vulnerability discovered
* Monit team notified via e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
April 5, 2004:
* Response from Jan Henrik-Haukeland ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
* Patch for third issue committed to CVS
* Monit team releases security advisory
* Monit 4.2.1 released
* Monit 4.3 Beta 3 released
* Public disclosure

The Monit team deserves praise on a very speedy response to this
vulnerability.  Particularly noteworthy is that the vendor was notified
shortly before midnight on April 4, 2004.  The patch for each of these
issues was committed to CVS within 18 hours of the initial report.  Thanks
to Jan Henrik-Haukeland for a fast response to this issue.

VI. Workaround

For those who cannot immediately upgrade packages, it is recommended that
the Monit HTTP interface be disabled.  If access to this interface is
necessary, limit it to the Local Area Network with appropriate firewalling.
Upgrading as listed in "Solution" below is recommended if possible.  For
those users of Monit who have deployed vendor-provided packages, you should
wait for updated vendor binaries.

VII. Solution

* Monit 4.2 Stable:

The vendor has released Monit 4.2.1, which contains these fixes.  It can be

[ilugd] Mail virusscanner woes

[Raj Mathur]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

So I though I'd be l33t and scan all my incoming mail for viruses at
point of entry.  Second step of being l33t is being lazy, so just
enabled clamav-milter, since all the packages were already installed
on my state-of-the-art bleeding-edge Red Hat 9 system and was ready to
go.

Initially this worked like a charm -- no more incoming viruses, just
terse notifications of the form ``Found virus, blocked virus''.
Yippee, I thought to myself, this rocks!

Unfortunately time, with its propensity to remove rose-tints from
pictures, had a different story to tell...

First of all, clamav-milter doesn't quarantine messages, it just
bounces them back to the sender.  Now this has two issues; firstly,
viruses tend to spoof the From address in e-mails, so some poor bugger
sitting in Latvia and running GNU/Hurd is getting triumphant e-mails
from me saying, ``Thought you could infect me, huh?  Well, sucks to
you and my Daddy can beat your Daddy!''.  Not Done.  Next, I'm
subscribed to mailing lists that distribute vulnerability and exploit
code, so I often get legitimate mails that contain virus signatures.
Unfortunately, I don't get those messages anymore -- milter has
already bounced them back.

Secondly, clamav-milter is ghastly slow.  Slw.  It takes up to
a minute to deliver one message to me, and for me that's completely
unacceptable -- I get ~400 messages a day in my inbox and watching
fetchmail crawl in a Konsole window is too painful to bear.

Ergo, I'll brave the viruses.  Already disabled clamav-milter, tried
to install Amavisd, which itself has a list of dependencies that
reaches from here to the moon.  Will install once the weather is a bit
cooler (say, December 2010).  In the meantime any suggestions on my
problems are welcome.

What is the output of #df -h.
Looks like you don't have any disk space left
on your harddisk. (wild wild guess)


Thanks  Tarun but I do have enough disk space on my HDD I confirmed the
same also. Any other thing that may go wrong also will reinstalling
XFree86 or gnome will work ??

There is nothing inside /tmp file also I tried deleting .Xauthority file
And reboot the system no luck now when I write startx I got the

I recently installed clamav+Mailscanner in a couple of places (as some
people saw from the incorrect headers LOL) . Anyway give that a look,
its very flexible and offers a number of rules based configurations for
most options. It also integrated with Spamassassin quite well.
And not that YOU would want to, but someone else might like to know that
it has a great webmin module too.

Run fsck.

Error 40 is ELOOP (see /usr/include/asm/errno.h), which happens if too
many symbolic links were encountered while resolving a file name. And
if this started happening suddenly, your filesystem is probably sick.

(And please, oh please, try to properly quote the text you're replying

Run fsck.

Error 40 is ELOOP (see /usr/include/asm/errno.h), which happens if too
many symbolic links were encountered while resolving a file name. And
if this started happening suddenly, your filesystem is probably sick.

(And please, oh please, try to properly quote the text you're replying
to, instead of just sticking your reply in the middle of something.)

""" Manoj --> I tried running fsck and e2fsck in single user mode  also
you are right there look like toomany symbolic links as /etc/X11/X isa
soft link to itself only but the thing is even if I remove the soft link
and reboot it comes back by itself any guesses """

Have been using clamav+exim+Mailscanner+spamassassin for the last 8+ 
months now. Mail deliveries have bee snappy, but again I get all these 
scans done on the server.

When you run them against fetchmail and list mails(which tend to be 
pretty small each on an average unlike office mails w/ attachments), i 
guess you have fetchmail dumping mails one after the other pretty fast 
to clamav for the deliveries to "feel" slow.

Have you tried setting it up in the server itself?
