Re: partition Magic to Linux
Hi, Miki! On Tue, Mar 13, 2001 at 08:43:49AM +0200, you wrote the following: I was just thinking this through too, as I want to migrate my system to a bigger disk. Yes, I know there is a howto, and yes, I know there is dd. Thing is, dd, much like Norton Ghost on linux partitions, dumps the whole damn thing. Ghost on FAT/NTFS FS's is smarter, making a filedump, and not mirroring the empty space of the partition. Question #1: Is there anything for linux that does this form of filedump? The only thing that springs to mind is tar... You should use the dump and restore utilities -- they exist exactly for this. They probably come with your distribution. -- Alex Shnitman| http://www.debian.org [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--- http://alexsh.hectic.netUIN 188956PGP key on web page E1 F2 7B 6C A0 31 80 28 63 B8 02 BA 65 C7 8B BA NTL have a new network routing protocol as invented for amusing small children.

Re: FTP hangs, taking 100% CPU
On Mon, Mar 12, 2001, Aviram Jenik wrote about "FTP hangs, taking 100% CPU": It can even continue to 'run' for days, even though the FTP client is long gone. What's worse, it takes 100% CPU, and if a second connection is initiated, a second process remains with an additional 100% CPU (and this really takes the fun out of our 2 CPU machine). The whole thing is very strange, since there's no problem with any FTP clients besides this one, and there's nothing special about our FTP daemon (wu-ftpd-2.6.0). Does anybody have a clue about what might be causing this? I've seen this happen on an FTP server that runs (among other things) ftp.ivrix.org.il. It is running wu-ftpd-2.6.1(2), and roughly once in two weeks an FTP process hangs like you describe, wasting CPU until I kill it. I could never find out what is causing this, or when it happens (I didn't notice what kind of client causes this, because ftp doesn't have a user-agent capability like HTTP). I never saw this problem in the previous version I had installed (2.6.0), but maybe it's just a coincidence - it certainly looks like the same problem you describe. It's quite likely an wu-ftpd bug - now that you know how to recreate the problem (I never could), perhaps you should file a bug report with wu-ftpd? (or debug it yourself!). No matter how buggy or misbehaving a client is (if it is at all), it shouldn't cause the server to hang in a tight loop, because that is a denial-of-service risk. -- Nadav Har'El| Tuesday, Mar 13 2001, 18 Adar 5761 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |The socks in my drawer are like http://nadav.harel.org.il |snowflakes: No two are alike. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can try it (and you SHOULD do it because of the security holes in the unpatched version 2.6.0!), but as I said 2.6.1(2) still gives me a problem which appears similar, so maybe upgrading won't solve the problem.

Re: securetty
Hi Mike, 1. /etc/securetty is used by login(1); the file contains the device names of tty lines (one per line, without leading /dev/) on which root is allowed to login. 'man securetty' for more information. 2. the -h option has to work without no problems. can you mention any errors from the log files or any error you getting from the telnet service when connecting from Rempote? your telnetd in xinetd running as it needs to run?

Re: IGLU Plea for Hard Disks Donation
I'm delighted to know that IGLU is going to provide local (Israeli) mirrors of a lot of free software. But as the owner of a company that might be interested in helping out, I have to ask: If I donate a hard disk to IGLU, to whom am I actually donating that disk? In other words, is IGLU planning to become an amuta at some point? Or will the hard disk remain the property of my company, simply located in a convenient place for Israeli Linux users? Or will my company be giving a donation to an individual (which has tax implications for everyone)? Reuven: Does it matters to you if you donate the Disk to an AMUTA, keep it the property of your company or any other arrangement? What arrangement are you interested in? I am far from being a tax expert but when considering the cost of the requested hardware, does it that significant whether one is donating to an AMUTA or not? Or do I miss something? If you remember, I tried to create an IGLU amuta some time ago and failed misrabely. The main issue was that most poeple didn't really feel motivated about this, or not enough so to address the hard work needed to set it up and I feared I'm going to get stuck with a useless Amuta with the relevant obligations and not so many members. That, along with some problmes with getting an accountant to work for us pro bono took the wind out of my sails... I still think it can be done, but since then I slowly realised that there might not be a (good) reason. Being an amuta has advantages, but we seem to go along quite well without it. Maybe it's a good time and place to say "Sorry!" for all the people who did try to help and nothing came out of it.
