If you have a registered IP Addy on your firewall's external interface, this traffic is most likely spoofed traffic and can be safely discarded (with the proper security response) I would contact the ISP and let them know of the issue and ask that it is resolved if they aren't the ones doing it. None of these address ranges belong to anyone. 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x-172.21.x.x, and 192.168.x.x are all reserved address spaces, for use internally in your network.

SOLVED! Re: I'm in LILO hell
Turns out everyone's suggestions were correct. The biggest overall problem was that the ancient version of LILO that I was using just couldn't deal with the newer BIOS HD that i was using. I upgraded to the latest stable version of LILO, and that got rid of the weird 'invalid partition table' errors immediately. But, alas, i was still not able to boot the box. So i booted off of a very, very handy Linuxcare Emergency boot CD (think Tom's RBD on crack). Its a 40MB CD the size of a business card that has basically 95% of /sbin, /bin /usr on it, making it a mini-OS on a CD. Anyone interested in getting an ISO of this CD, let me know, and i will gladly post it somewhere publicly accessible. Granted, you'd not be able to squeeze it onto the business card shaped CD, but it would still be a life saver. I personally find TRBD a royal PITA, since it has very limited tools on it. anyway, i digress... Using this in the new box, I was able to mount all the partitions, fix lilo.conf to be accurate with the 'lba32' option, and write it to hda3. A quick reboot, and i was in business. Thanks to everyone who gave really good suggestions! --- Ian Marchak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Quoting Net Llama [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm in the process of building a new PC to replace my aging PII-400 box.

FWIW, i can boot into Windoze just fine, so this is purely a LILO problem. Normally, i'd assume that this is that dreaded 1024 cylinder issue, but as the fdisk output above indicates, /boot is well below the 1024th cylinder. I'm really not sure what else could be the problem here. I've been fighting this since Friday night with virtually no progress, so i'd appreciate the wisdom of any of your LILO gurus. I'm really eager to get this new box up running, since its a significant hardware improvement over the older one. I'd suggest that you not write lilo until your HD is where it's going to say...in it's home of /dev/hda. At one point, I only had one HD and when I was building a gateway from an old machine, I'd just hook the new HD (which usually came from a slower machine) up to IDE channel 2 and do the install on the faster machine. Did this several times with great success, until I added a second HD to the machine permanently and tried to do this with the new HD as /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd. I was never able to get the bugger to work until I put it in it's destination machine (a P90) and used TomsRtBt to fix lilo. I can't say with certainty that it wouldn't work because the HD was on the second IDE channel, but it would appear in my case that it was...might be worth a try. = Lonni J.

And then there are lots of other fixes for other random things. Running 2.4.2 is like running 2.2.2. Why? Not entirely tangential to this question is the Reiser FS which I (the newbie) have heard makes a safe (nondestructive?) FS. Would it be a better alternative? ReiserFS is not a kernel, its a filesystem. Its an alternative to ext2. Personally, i don't like it. Its design is very near sited, based around the belief that all files are small. ReiserFS performance is horrific once you start playing with large files (upwards of 100MB in size). But in fact, its performance starts to croak even below 100MB. I use strongly recommend XFS, the journaling FS from SGI. I use it on one of my boxes, and its performed very well. Additionally, it outshines every other filesystem in existence on large files (2GB and up). But, the choice is really yours in the end. ReiserFS is getting more widespread attention right now. XFS is certainly far better suited to the corporate environment where datbases in the 1TB range are common. Instructions for getting either ReiserFS or XFS (and ext3 as well) can be found at the Step-by-step website (in my sig). I wrote the XFS SxS. = Lonni J.

Re: Mandrake, anyone?
I'm running Mandrake Freq on my workstations, and we use various (released) versions on our servers. I like it because it provides compatibility with redhat-isms without their focus on the bleeding edge. I've had very few compatibility problems when using it, and it's been quite stable. There are those who have had issues with 8.0, but I haven't had any problems so far except having to unalias rm, cp, and so forth so they don't keep asking me stupid questions.

Fwd: IrDA semiremote vulnerability, or fun games linux users can play with their windows-using friends
-- Forwarded Message -- Subject: IrDA semiremote vulnerability Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 21:38:01 +0100 (BST) From: Paul Millar [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Win2k semi-remote DoS via IrDA Synopsis: There exists a semi-remote vulnerability against Windows machines via the IrDA port. The result of exploiting this vulnerability is the computer will crash, displaying a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), shortly followed by rebooting. As IrDA ports are mostly found on laptops, these machines are more likely to be exploitable. Limited test data suggests this attack is successful against Windows 2000 Professional machines, but not successful against machines running Windows 98. Other OS versions have not been tested. Symptom: Machine crashes with BSOD. After a few seconds machine reboots. Trigger: Receiving an IrDA test frame. These can be generated by the irdaping utility under GNU/Linux Affected: Windows 2000 Professional Not affected: Windows 98 Work-around: Disable the IrDA port under the Device Manager. The truely paranoid can place Insulation/PVC tape over the port to prevent abuse. Recreate: 1. Startup laptops. My setup was: victim running Windows, protagonist running GNU/Linux. The Linux kernel must have IrDA support compiled in. 2. Under GNU/Linux, make sure irda-utils-0.9.10-9 is installed, other versions are untested, but will probably work too. 3. Do irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s or equivalent to activate the IrDA port. 4. Check the GNU/Linux side its working correctly by running the irdadump command. You should see repetitive output similar to: 07:28:17.790903 xid:cmd 4d274896 S=6 s=0 (14) 07:28:17.880849 xid:cmd 4d274896 S=6 s=1 (14) 07:28:17.970845 xid:cmd 4d274896 S=6 s=2 (14) 07:28:18.060858 xid:cmd 4d274896 S=6 s=3 (14) 07:28:18.150840 xid:cmd 4d274896 S=6 s=4 (14) 07:28:18.240861 xid:cmd 4d274896 S=6 s=5 (14) 07:28:18.330859 xid:cmd 4d274896 S=6 s=* rattusrattus hint=0400 [ Computer ] (28) 5. Place laptops so the infrared ports are aligned and within IrDA distance, irdadump should reflect new machine. The windows machine should also respond, usually by making a sound. 6. Run irdaping. The destination address (0x4d274896 for above example) is required, but actual value doesn't matter. 7. Victim machine should display the BSOD at this point and reboot. Systems tested that were vulnerable: [] OEM laptop, Windows 2000 Professional service pack 2 v5.00.2195, National Semiconductor IrDA. Options: Infrared Trans. A: HP HSDL-1100/2100, Infrared Trans.

A 128Mb P3, IrDA driver (Microsoft 4-23-1999) Discussion: After discovering the problem, a quick searched using Google revealed that Kevin Gottsman reported the same effect [1] back in December 2000 but only to The Pasta Projects Linux-IrDA Forum mailing list. The problem didn't appear on the vulnerabilities database at SecurityFocus [2], or on Microsoft's own website [3]. Microsoft were notified on July 4th 2001 and were able to quickly verify the problem. Their investigation suggests that the problem is driver specific (as Kevin suggested) and that it cannot cause remote code execution. A patch has been developed, see Microsoft bulletin MS01-046 [4] for details. From limited experimentation, disabling communication via the IrDA software does not prevent the vulnerability, the whole device must be disabled under the Device Manager to prevent the system from crashing.

Re: KDE 2.2 and Font Problems, a fix?
On Tuesday 21 August 2001 22:08, Shawn Tayler babbled: Just spent a bit of time on IRC with a guy in the #kde channel. Seems there is a problem with Anti-Alias fonts and XF86 4.0.2 as shipped with OL3.1 He had me turn it off, and alot of the strangness and instability I was getting has gone. He also recommended a command line structure to use when compiling QT from tarball. Since I had src rpms, I am trying to download the tarballs, I am just a bit nervous in thet there is a -2 in the name of the Caldera rpms and the tarball does not. Is this important? not really. just means it's Caldera's second version of that rpm Also is it possible to extract the tarball from a src rpm? rpm -i the source tarball... it puts it in /usr/src/OpenLinux/SOURCES, IIRC. The command line given for AA font use when compiling QT is as follows: ./configure -sm -thread -gif -system-zlib -system-libpng -system-jpeg -system-libmng -xft -no-g++exceptions The -xft was the option that was emphasized as being the point. yes, that turns on TrueType support... that's the line that I use to compile with.. No there are 2 tarballs available for 2.3.1, one is the embedded the other is the X11. Which is the one to get? I'm getting both, but I'd like to learn about this a bit. the x11 version. chuck the embedded one... (in his custom asbestos underwear) not touching this one.. ;) -- Douglas J.

Re: bootable partition
Just to make sure that we're on the same page here. You want to make LILO your primary bootloader (what appears when you power on the PC)? If so then you need to change the boot= line to the following: boot=/dev/hda then run /sbin/lilo and reboot, and you should have LILO. As for the location of the kernel, there is no rule that it must be in /boot, but that is traditional. Slackware must do things differently. My experience with Slack went as far as attempting an install and getting lost in the text maze that they call an installer. I can't explain why bootmagic does what it does, as i've never used it. I don't see the point in paying for a bootloader when there are so many excellent free ones out there. --- Ken Moffat [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No errors, Nothing except /dev/hda1 (windows) shows in Bootmagic.

Re: bootable partition
Thanks, I agree about BM, but it came with COL2.3 and 2.4, so became accustomed. I'll install lilo to mbr tomorrow, and let you know what happens.

You want to make LILO your primary bootloader (what appears when you power on the PC)? If so then you need to change the boot= line to the following: boot=/dev/hda then run /sbin/lilo and reboot, and you should have LILO. As for the location of the kernel, there is no rule that it must be in /boot, but that is traditional. Slackware must do things differently. My experience with Slack went as far as attempting an install and getting lost in the text maze that they call an installer. I can't explain why bootmagic does what it does, as i've never used it. I don't see the point in paying for a bootloader when there are so many excellent free ones out there. -- Ken Moffat [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
KDE 2.2 and Font Problems, a fix?
First, I apologize in advance for the cross post, but this topic has been brought up on both lists and I think it is of interest to all parties. Just spent a bit of time on IRC with a guy in the #kde channel. Seems there is a problem with Anti-Alias fonts and XF86 4.0.2 as shipped with OL3.1 He had me turn it off, and alot of the strangness and instability I was getting has gone. He also recommended a command line structure to use when compiling QT from tarball. Since I had src rpms, I am trying to download the tarballs, I am just a bit nervous in thet there is a -2 in the name of the Caldera rpms and the tarball does not. Is this important? Also is it possible to extract the tarball from a src rpm? The command line given for AA font use when compiling QT is as follows: ./configure -sm -thread -gif -system-zlib -system-libpng -system-jpeg -system-libmng -xft -no-g++exceptions The -xft was the option that was emphasized as being the point. No there are 2 tarballs available for 2.3.1, one is the embedded the other is the X11. Which is the one to get? I'm getting both, but I'd like to learn about this a bit. Again my apologies for the cross post, Let the flames begin stayler (in his custom asbestos underwear) ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
