Re: fighting the worm (enough of this already)
I think it is definitely MORE up in the air than before. What's changed with Nimda is the incorporation of not only exploits but multiple exploits with intelligence to wreak far more havoc than before. Also, most worms until this point targetted servers, with mail viruses focussing on email, and very little IE exploits. This one hits the servers from the clients and the clients from the servers. As more of the old exploits are used in tandem and with more intelligence. I believe that people will be force to take notice. What happens after that is up in the air.

Re: eW3.1 and KDE2.2
I have had the same problem with just a standard install. Your best bet is to look at /var/log/gui for details on what is happening at X start and why it's resetting. Mine seems to happen when I remove the "vga=791" from the kernel line in GRUB's menu.lst file. The VGA parm makes my CLI difficult to read (tiny characters) but X seems to work. When I remove it or replace it with the "vga=274" which was placed at install on another eW3.1 box, X doesn't start. ??? Tim Wunder cc: Sent by:Subject: eW3.1 and KDE2.2 linux-users-admi [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/30/01 11:36 PM Please respond to linux-users Hi folks, Considering all the trouble I've been having getting my eD2.4 install up to snuff, I decided to try migrating to eW3.1, which I have installed on a test partition. I downloaded and installed kernel 2.4.9 and X4.1.0 without too much difficulty. I then tried to start installing KDE2.2 from the SRPMs I was using under eD2.4, but ended up with some compile issues. Rather than debug that, I decided to download the pre-compiled RPMs. After installing all packages, I tried to telinit 5 to start KDE2.2, but it doesn't want to work. kdm starts, but before a login screen displays, X restarts. This happens repeatedly (X starts - doesn't get to kdm login - x restarts) until kdm apparently gives up and I get an error message, 'Id "gu" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes'. If I don't telinit 3, then the cycle gets repeated in 5 minutes. 'startx' works. I get an xsession and can run non-kde programs (composing this in Netscape), but when trying to run KDE apps from plain X, they fail with an error "error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde2/lib/libkdeui.so.3: undefined symbol: stylChange_8QToolBarR6QStyle", but I'm not at all sure whether that's relevent to my problem. /var/log/messages has: kdm[1781]:Greeter returned non-zero exit code 32512 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81 kdm[1802]:Greeter returned non-xero exit code 32512 So this looks like an error with kdm, or kdmrc.

Re: Easy hook up of a laptop to a home network
I would recommend either the Hub with BNC connector or wireless. You can do direct PC-PC networking using a crossover cable (1236 go to 3612) but that limits you and doesn't really solve the problem. The problem is not that your son's laptop doesn't have BNC, it's that your equipment is outliving it's worth. If you choose the cross-over solution, you have added nearly zero flexibility to your network. At least with a 10Base-2/T hub you'll be able to add both RJ45/BNC hosts to your network in the future. With a wireless solution, there is an added layer of complexity, but from everyone I've spoken to, it's worth it.

I was just told that alhough we appear to have static ip's they are really dynamic IP's, changed rarely if at all. I was getting repeated attempts by 10.91.193.1 to offer dynamic ip assignment, for example. I was told that was a server for @HOME upstream from me. It may be (JUST WILD GUESSING) that although we think we are on the internet, we may really be on a private network run by @HOME, thus allowing this private IP number to be used. Still guessing, this may be some stuff being broadcaste from @HOME central, for whatever reason. I just block it all.

Re: Firewall log 192.168.100.1:65535 224.0.0.1:65535
First off, the 192.168.x.x is a reserve address space, which you should NOT be seeing, unless you don't have any registered ip addresses and your border router is a 192.168.x.x address as well. Secondly, this is multicast traffic, which is pretty selectively allowed. Route discovery protocols use this type of traffic, as do some streaming technologies. 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. ISP's should NOT allow packets with this source address to ever traverse the Internet.

Re: delete email from server
Neither. I use KMail all the time. I'm finding it more pretty than useful, however, and am looking for a good IMAP client. I've been playing with Althea lately but have heard of one from the Kompany called Aethera (or something like that), which is supposed to include some PIM stuff as well. I have times when KMail seems to "forget" that it's seen ANY messages and red/l's again. This doesn't happen all the time, and I've found months in between. Unfortunately with this option, KMail forgot to include the "delete from server when deleted from mail" option, so I'm finding myself in a situation of d'ling 480mb this time. I'm pretty frusterated. When mentioning this option to the KMail team, I was told that it wasn't going to happen. I don't believe I heard a response to the IMAP request.

Re: IP NetWare Client for Linux
I thought that Caldera's client did this... Is that not the case? Well, Novell's stance on this is that they are moving away from Mac and Unix clients for NetWare in favor of their new initiative of Native File Access. Effectively, this is going to mean that NetWare boxes are going to allow SMB access to their fileservers. This is great for those of us who use Samba and know it's strength in Unix, but it's depressing for those who understand F&P sharing using IPX vs SMB over TCP/IP. IPX had its problems, but it has always been lightning fast compared to it's SMB brother, at least when compared to an NT server. I haven't compared Linux to NetWare yet. We'll have to see how this turns out.

Re: Is there a SAMBA doctor in the house???
I do two ways of SMB "clienting". For the persistent connections which I want to access from CLI, I use smbmount to graft a foreign SAMBA share into my filesystem. For the quick and dirty "There's a spread-sheet on that box I need to see or change,etc..." I use KDE2.1's smb:// or 2.1.1's rlan:/ features. They've not been well-announced, but they are pretty sweet. What I hope the KDE team does is join these two technologies for something akin to a "Map Drive" option in Konqueror which allows the share to be mapped either anywhere in the FS tree, or possibly in /samba/ or someplace easy to find.

I'd still like not to have to type -x or +x between different systems...

Re: Stupid newbie network question
POI- You might want to note that the machine you run the application on (ie. NOT the one you are typing at), needs to be able to resolve whatever your local hostname is, as TELNET sets up the DISPLAY environment variable as: DISPLAY=hostname:0.0 So if your machine is not resolvable by DNS, you might consider adding an entry in /etc/hosts for your local workstation. I use ssh with XForwarding stuff turned on (in the client config and server config both) I like that better because I don't have to deal with the above issue, not to mention I can run X Apps securely over the Internet without poking holes in my firewall! Note that running through ssh is a little bit slower, but it only uses the established connection! Pretty sweet, eh?

Re: Stupid newbie network question
If KDM doesn't allow the option to shutdown X server, then a simple "CTRL-ALT-BKSPC" should work. Glad to hear it worked for you! I have had pretty good luck doing it and it's made me pretty geeked on X ever since. Eat your heart out WTS! Tim Wunder cc: Subject: Re: Stupid newbie network question Matt, This worked flawlessly. Well, not quite flawlessly, I had trouble disconnecting from the server. I ended up switching to a console (ctl-alt-F1) and killing X and kdm.

This MUST be executed from within X. "xhost downstairs" tells X to open up access to "downstairs" so that "downstairs" is able to communicate with your video/kb/mouse.

Even if you don't choose SuSE, MAKE SURE YOU TRY IT! It is a different feel, but it's nice! That and the fact that the 7 CD's for Professional have a huge amount of CATALOGUED software...

Well, imagine something like that which allows un-/installing entire software selections (notifying and/or automagically installing dependent packages). We're talking INTELLIGENCE programmed in!

Re: Stupid newbie network question
VNC is like a Remotely Possible. But it is unnecessary to do what you are trying to do X-Windows is by nature a networked windowing system. This means that it can act like Terminal Services, allowing multiple sessions at the same time across the network, as opposed to sharing the only one (that shows up on the computer screen) like RP or pcAnywhere. Study the /etc/X11/kdm/Xaccess file. You do NOT want a Chooser setup, because that (IIRC) just acts as a "Central Directory" for available X Servers to log into. I (on my protected home network) uncommented the line with a single "*" on it, meaning accept a GUI-login connection from anyone. There are various ACL capabilities in this file you may want to consider. Then, restart your X-Server on the server host. (CTRL-ALT-BKPSC). On the machine you'd like to log in FROM, you want to be in Runlevel 3 (CLI). From the commandline, type something like: X -query and it should bring up a GUI login screen. There are many better accounts of this config, but I hope this serves as a decent overview.

Re: Is there a SAMBA doctor in the house???
Kruiser is one of the better ones for KDE1.x. I liked it a lot. If it integrated better with KDE2, I'd probably still be using it. But KDE2 is starting to do some good things now. Someday soon perhaps they will include the ability to map and unmap "drives" so to speak, more like grafting into the fs tree. It doesn't seem like it'd be too difficult.

Re: what's happening?
TCP 111, TCP515, TCP 12345 are all wellknown hacks. It looks like you've been scanned for these hacks by some script kiddies. Sure is enough to wake you up, though. TCP 111 is RPC. TCP515 is LPD, TCP 12345 is some sort of trojan, I think NetBus. For more information on these hacks, check out http://www.securityfocus.com and search on these ports. You want to look up who owns these address ranges (at www.arin.net) and email the people in charge of their security issues. Include the logs, etc.. and voice your concerns. Don't expect an answer, but you may receive one. Either way, the incident is noted and you've pretty much done all you can do.

SuSE 7.1 findings.
Ok. Now that I've been using SuSE 7.1Pro for a little while (very little), I have found the following: It is a very nice install (Wow, YaST2 is much better than YaST1). This is the kind of installer that makes me want to have my mom watch while I install the thing. I like the default color schemes and configs (nice clock in KDM). I like the xconsole, even if I don't know what to do with it at times. Nice admin tools. The X tools are rather DrakX-esque and somewhat better. So far I like them better than COAS. They seem a bit more complete and friendlier. Nice software selection! HUGE amount of software, including most of the software I tar->RPM'd for eD2.4 ReiserFS! Cool! Scary Root Scheme! Cool! Comprehensive RPM-Management! Sweet! While I don't like GNOME/Enlightenment, some of the software I like and use requires the libraries, so it's nice that they're all there. JBuilder is a great addition... if it weren't only German! No Other Java IDE's to speak of? X doesn't come up right and I get a blank screen. I end up CTRL-ALT-F1-ing and the ALT-F7-ing to get back to GUI login. Overall, SuSE is a VERY nice distro. I am in the process of d/l-ing W31 to check it out. I know comparing a d/l ISO to a purchased 7 CD set is not fair, but W31 will have to soar pretty high over the beta to convince me to give up SuSE... I just miss understanding how it's FS/Configs are laid out the way I understand eD2.4.

Re: building a new distro
I would be very interested in an article taking a look at the LSB and the distros, now that the LSB has been out and published for a while. Are we achieving the interoperability which was the goal of the LSB. If not, is any distro doing better than the others? We as a Linux community should consider supporting any such vendor as STANDARDS are the key strength of Open systems. We need to encourage this philosophy. It took a lot of time and effort to have these individuals come together and work on a standard... something that has been a necessary goal for some time.

I as one who has been looking forward to the release of the new desktop version am somewhat dismayed by the apparent changes in policy. I'm taking a wait and see attitude and giving the boyz from Orem a lot of rope. Hopefully we won't all hang. But the idea of an easily updateable version of a secure, free linux geared toward the SOHO user is what I am searching for and perhaps LFS is the only way I'll be able to get what I want. So I'm very interested. Warren ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
