Re: modem call
A think alot more info is needed here. Which distro, how is all of this setup? Linux, out of the box, isn't capable of connecting to a remote modem, so you had to have set this up in some capacity at some point in time. Care to explain? Not at all. I'm running Mandrake 8.1 using DHCP. The problem was intermittent at first, but is pretty persistent, now. My server is a WIN 98 box that I connect to through a Linksys switch. My NIC is a Realtek 8139. I have a hardware A/B switch in the phone line to completely shut the server out of the phone line. I put that in when my eDesktop install (different box than this Mandrake box) would intermittently do this same thing. What both installs and boxes have had in common is the WIN 98 server. It's a standard network setup though, only needed protocols. Let me know if you need any other info. Thanks Lonni.

Re: hdc
That's because the /dev directory does not contain 'files' as such but simply a look up table for the all-important device nodes. Major / minor nodes are like PO boxes, each one is uniquely assigned, and set in concrete. to a specific type of driver (scsi, cd, video, etc). The nodes are used to communicate with a given driver, the name 'hdc', or 'pink_elephants', has no meaning to the driver, simply that 'pink_elephants' is an accepted alias for a node. Thus there was no problem symlinking node 11/1 to 'hdc', it simply meant that the label 'hdc' was henceforth a scsi cd driver name. (unusual but not an issue). What happened however is that by doing so you removed any nodal reference to 22 0, the device node that the ide cdrom driver expects. Thus, your DVD 'dissappeared' because there was no means of accessing 22 0, even though the driver was sitting there patiently waiting. X CD Roast recommends labeling it a scuzzy, but the actual command came from a member of the Mandrake team who generally gives the best advice on their list. Maybe it just didn't agree with my box. So, how do I get my DVD recognized? Somebody from this list, I can't remember the name, gave me the correct mknod command, but it comes back and says the file exists. Thanks, Mike.

This is a permissions problem, but not in the way you think, and has nothing to do with KDE. It is solely related to /etc/fstab, and the entry for your floppy drive.

It also is easier for my two seven-year olds to go straight into Windows for Reader Rabbit or whatever. I keep eDesktop on an old P133 Winbook by itself, now that Caldera gave up on it.

Re: A couple of Questions about Debian Linux/Storm Linux
I have to agree on this: after running Libranet for several months and getting used to the irritating Debian anal retentive security policies, I am comfortable with this distro, the way I am comfortable with eDesk 2.4. Perhaps the common quality is both distros give one a sense of confidence. Caldera WS 3.1 was a discomfort at first because COAS was gone, but after playing with it a while I can appreciate the logic in the integration of the admin tools into KDE. Last night I upgraded to KDE 2.2 (using a CD obtained from chguy), and after it finally dawned on me that you can't upgrade KDE while in it, I had KDE 2.2 installed and running in ten minutes. Very impressive end product. A new Libranet was due out this month, but has been postponed. I suspect the delay is in order to include KDE 2.2. It should be impressive too. I've been waiting for the announcement on the new Libranet, didn't know it had been delayed. Somebody on the list said it was going up to $40.00, but that's OK, don't mind paying $40.00 for an OS that works reliably. Hate paying $200-$300 for one that's unreliable, though.

Re: A couple of Questions about Debian Linux/Storm Linux
No, I am not another Caldera refugee. I still participate in the Caldera list, and have installed WS 3.1 on my recently upgraded lab rat. I am in no hurry to adopt WS 3.1 - or any other bleeding edge distribution for that matter, since eDesk 2.4 still does everything I need reliably. Yes, I do use Libranet 1.9.1 w/o Reiser FS. Libranet and eDesk are on the same system I am sending this from. It seems to perform a bit more sprightly on a K6-2 350 mHz than eDesk 2.4. Debian has some irritating features and characteristics compared to eDesk. Debian security policies make simple tasks like installing new apps complicated. I tried Libranet earlier this year because I wanted to check out the new 2.4 kernel and KDE 2. I also wanted a Debian installation to replace Corel Linux. I decided to buy Libranet vice Progeny because it is cheaper and comes with RPM support on-board. (Try to install Applix 5.0 on a Debian!) The admin tools are well organized. Recompiling the kernel. e.g. to enable IDE CD-RW support is handled smoothly and simply by the kernel utility. For $25 you get a polished and well endowed distribution of the Debian persuasion, with the ability to install your legacy RPM apps without any bother. Sorry for the mis-characterization, I still think of this list as the Caldera refugee list. I'm still subscribed to the Caldera list, hoping one day they'll start maintaining eDesktop, again. I think eDesktop and Libra are somehow very similar, but I can't put my finger on it. I know both have been exceptionally stable for me. The kernel tool in xadmin is great on Libra.

Mike Braun First American CREDCO -Original Message- TruSecure ALERT- TSA 01-023 - W32.nimda.a.mm Date: September 18, 2001 Time: 1000 EDT RISK INDICES: Initial Assessment: RED HOT Threat: VERY HIGH, (rapidly increasing) Vulnerability Prevalence: VERY HIGH, effects IIS servers version 4.0, 5.0, and internal networks. Cost: High, command execution is possible Vulnerable Systems: IIS 4.0 and 5.0 SUMMARY: A new IIS worm is spreading rapidly. Its working name is Nimda: W32.nimda.a.mm It started about 9am eastern time today, Tuesday,September 18, 2001, Mulitple sensors world-wide run by TruSecure corporation are getting multiple hundred hits per hour. And began at 9:08am am. The worm seems to be targeting IIS 4 and 5 boxes and tests boxes for multiple vulnerabilities including: Almost all are get scripts, and a get msadc (cmd.exe) get_mem_bin vti_bin owssvr.dll Root.exe CMD.EXE ../ (Unicode) Getadmin.dll Default.IDA /Msoffice/ cltreq.asp This is not code red or a code red variant. The worm, like code red attempts to infect its local sub net first, then spreads beyond the local address space. It is spreading very rapidly. TruSecure believes that this worm will infect any IIS 4 and IIS 5 box with well known vulnerabilities. We believe that there are nearly 1Million such machines currently exposed to the Internet. Risks Indices: Vulnerability VULNERABILITY PREVALANCE is very high - Milllions of Internet Web server hosts: TruSecure process and essential configurations should generally be protective. The vulnerability prevalence world-wide is very high Threat - VERY HIGH and Growing The rate of growth and spread is exceedingly rapid - significantly faster than any worm to date and significantly faster than any variant of Code red. Cost -- Unknown, probably moderate per infected system. The worm itself is a file called README.EXE, or ADMIN.DLL a 56K file which is advertised as an audio xwave mime type file. Other RISKS: There is risk of DOS of network segments by traffic volume alone There is large risk of successful attack to both Internet exposed IIS boxes and to developer and Intranet boxes inside of corporations. Judging by the Code Red II experience, we expect many subtle routes of infection leading to inside corporate infections. We cannot discount the coincidence of the date and time of release, exactly one week to (probably to the minute) as the World Trade Center attack . REPLICATION: There are at least three mechanisms of spread: The worm seems to spread both by a direct IIS across Internet (IP spread) It probably also spreads by local shares. (this is not known for sure at this time) There is also an email vector where README.EXE is sent via email to numerous accounts. Mitigations TruSecure essential practices should work. Block all email with EXE attachments Filter for README.EXE Make sure IIS boxes are well patched and hardened, or removed from both the Internet and Intranets. Make sure any developer computing platforms are not running IIS of any version (many do so by default if either.

Thanks for the exposure, that'll help a lot. Two-second pings aren't bad, over here in the hills of eastern Kentucky our signals come in on surplus DC mine cable.

Re: How to load modules in SUSE 7.1 at boot up
My Libranet(debian-based) didn't have a rc.local so I created one and still couldn't get my soundblaster module to load so I just put modprobe sb in my /etc/modules file and it's loaded on boot-up since.

I did try editing the modules.conf file but that pooched the system. (Forgot to back the file up before changing -- I know I should know better !!!) There has to be an easier way to do this that I am just missing?? Otherwise I am loving this new system.
