 In that case, could you please advise which modem should I purchase?
 Also, will any DSL ethernet modem work or are there specific
 requirements in that case also? How would I get the DSL Ethernet modem
 to work on Linux, assuming it doesn't come with Linux drivers?

The best option might be to get their dsl router instead. You dont need
any drivers in that case because you get a simple ethernet cable to your
machine.

Only thing is that a) you get NATted behind it and b) its rental is
twice that of the modem.

Is this something to worry about? I just modified my partition table using
parted to make a new swap partition. Previously / was /dev/hda8 and now
it's /dev/hda7. Everything is working fine for me.

Just the message, Partition table entries are not in disk order.
Is it something to worry about? Will it slowly damage my disk?

TIA,

[ilugd] Using Apache mod_rewrite

2005-03-20 Thread Bhaskar Ghose
Hi,
I am a newbie to mod_rewrite and I just wanted to know the rewrite rule
for my problem.
I have a server say `main.com' and i am redirecting all requests to the
subdomain `sub.main.com' to an external server `ext.org'
I want to hide the `ext.org' name from the users and just show say
`sub.main.com/index.php' instead of `ext.org/index.php' in the browser
address bar.
How can I achieve this via mod_rewrite ? Kindly enlighten ...

Bhaskar

Re: [ilugd] Using Apache mod_rewrite

2005-03-20 Thread Anand Kapoor
IMHO, no. Mod Rewrite generally focuses on aspects of URL Rewriting,
what you are trying to achieve is mask the actual URL of the location
where you are redirecting visitors to you site.Insert the following
lines in your conf

VirtualHost sub.main.com:80
ServerName sub.main.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.main.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://ext.org$1 [L]
ErrorLog /where/your/logs/are
/VirtualHost

If you want to mask the URL i would suggest you call the content of
ext.org/index.php within your page that you the user would stay on
your server (and hence see the desired URL)

hope this helps. 

Andy.

[ilugd] Ark Linux 2005.1 released

2005-03-20 Thread Gaurav Mishra
After 3 years of development and testing, the first stable release of
Ark Linux -- Ark Linux 2005.1 -- has been released.

The goal of Ark Linux is to build the easiest to use Linux
distribution for people converting from That Other Operating System,
while keeping it technically sane.

Ark Linux 2005.1 is built around the latest desktop technologies,
including KDE 3.4, OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 (a preview of 2.0 is also
available on the Ark Extra Software CD), glibc 2.3.4, X.Org 6.8.2, and
kernel 2.6.11.

The base insall CD of Ark Linux contains everything the average
desktop user will need - other tools, for example compilers and
development tools, additional games and support for additional
languages, are available on the
extra CD images Ark Development Suite, Ark Extra Software, Ark
Server Software and Ark Extra Languages, and of course in our large
online package repository, easily accessed through the Kynaptic GUI.
Experienced
users can use the apt-get tool to install software from the
repository on the command line.

Ark Linux 2005.1 can be downloaded from http://www.arklinux.org/ using ftp,
http, BitTorrent or EDonkey.

What you can try as of now is execute the daemon as root. If it runs
successfully then you've sorted out one problem. Then find out how to
escalate privileges to a normal user so that it could bind to reserved
ports.

Thanks Ajay.

So here I am with being able to solve the problem.

Following is the procedure:
fdisk /dev/hda
x - Enter to expert mode
f - Fix the partition order.
w - Commit changes.

Modify the /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst files accordingly.
I'm done and everything is shown perfect.

Now my questions,
I did all this to solve the occasional hibernation problem that I faced
which I suspected to be because of less swap space (My physical RAM is 768
and my swap was 512).

How many read/write heads does an IDE disk have (Eg a 30GB IDE Disk) ?
Does having multiple swaps on one single disk enhance/degrade the
performance ?
Should I merge the two swaps to one single swap ?

TIA,

 How many read/write heads does an IDE disk have (Eg a 30GB IDE Disk)

Few things about the hard disk.
1. The data is stored in circular tracks therefore the reference to
cylinders.
2. The amount of data stored in every cylinder is the same (atleast it
used to be till not so long ago)
3. A head can only be at one place at a given time.
4. No two models (even of same manufacturer) can be assured to have the
same number of heads and cylinders.
5. The head can not exactly reach the given sector based on your
command. It makes an approximate guess and gets the data in multiple
passes depending on various criteria - this is what iis referred to as
average seek time.

Based on these assumptions and the fact that IDE and in the long run
even SCSI hard disks are not going to be there in your server /
workstation forever I would recommend the following :
1. Dont customize (even if possible) based on your hard disk geometry -
the gains if any are offset by the risks and headaches involved if you
have to replace the hard disk.
2. Since the same amount of data is stored in a lesser amount of space
(the inner circle is smaller than the outer circle) in the begining of
the hard disk the head will take longer to read data from the begining
of the hard disk than at the end of the hard disk.
3. It is recommended to keep all data which is required at boot up
(potentially these data would not be required later) towards the
begining of the hard disk.
4. All data for which seek time needs to be minimized should be kept at
the end of the hard disk. SWAP is an ideal case for this - unlike the
rest of the filesystem SWAP is never cached in memory therefore if the
OS ever needs to access this data it really needs to read it from the
hard disk.
5. It is always prefered to keep SWAP on a dedicated disk or on some
disk which is not very often read. The regular hard disk head and do
something better with the time the SWAP is being read/written to.
6. It probably makes sense to split your SWAP across multiple disks -
firstly you probably dont have a dedicated SWAP hard disk and secondly
you can have larger amount of data will lesser seek time.
7. It doesnt make sense to put SWAP on RAID or LVM as that will add a
overhead you can probably get rid off. in case of media failure just
turn off SWAP add new SWAP partition and reactivate - no downtime and
hopefully no degraded performance...

I probably rambled along too long at 2am but this probably would cover
everything you might want to think about doing with your SWAP on the
physical media.

Synopsis


Sylpheed and Sylpheed-claws contain a vulnerability that can be
triggered when replying to specially crafted messages.

Background
==

Sylpheed is a lightweight email client and newsreader. Sylpheed-claws
is a 'bleeding edge' version of Sylpheed.

Affected packages
=

---
 Package /  Vulnerable  /   Unaffected
---
  1  mail-client/sylpheed  1.0.3 = 1.0.3
  2  mail-client/sylpheed-claws1.0.3 = 1.0.3
---
 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
---

Description
===

Sylpheed and Sylpheed-claws fail to properly handle non-ASCII
characters in email headers when composing reply messages.

Impact
==

An attacker can send an email containing a malicious non-ASCII header
which, when replied to, would cause the program to crash, potentially
allowing the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running the software.

Workaround
==

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==

All Sylpheed users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =mail-client/sylpheed-1.0.3

All Sylpheed-claws users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =mail-client/sylpheed-claws-1.0.3

Synopsis


rxvt-unicode is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==

rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.

Affected packages
=

---
 Package /  Vulnerable  /   Unaffected
---
  1  x11-terms/rxvt-unicode 5.3= 5.3
  4.8

Description
===

Rob Holland of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that
rxvt-unicode fails to properly check input length.

Impact
==

Successful exploitation would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary
code with the permissions of the user running rxvt-unicode.

Workaround
==

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==

All rxvt-unicode users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =x11-terms/rxvt-unicode-5.3

Re: [ilugd] Email client on proxy

  Hi all,
  I am behind a proxy that allows me to connect only to 3128 port ,
 Is there any email client that can connect to POP3 server and fetch
 mails.


i don't think that'd be possible as your proxy server probably is squid
which does http proxying and not smtp/pop3. without some extra setup on
the server such as NAT using iptables you'd not be able to do your mail
checking through pop3

AFAIK functional extensions to python are available since ages. So 
wondering what goopy adds to it.

Hi all,

When I ftp some components from one node to another , I found some control
characters in the end of all lines.
Here is copy paste :

I want to remove these characters from all components in one shot by making
a script.
Can some one help me out, because I am unable to remove them by usual
substitution commands of sed at command line.
