[newbie] relay ports through gateway using bastille
Is this possible? I can't seem to find an option for it in InteractiveBastille. I'm trying to log into my desktop using ssh from my internet connection at work. My gateway is an old computer running mandrake 8.2. Whats the best way to do this? Should I write a script using iptables? Would this mess up my Bastille setup?

I now have the problem fixed and would appreciate it if you could send this message to the list as well. His answer was as follows: urpmi.addmedia is used to add sources using commandline (and is useful too when adding using rpmdrake results in error but you dont know what), and there is a corresponding command to remove (urpmi.removemedia???) the defines sources. check it out using the man page.

Re: [newbie] How to install Win98, RH 5.1 & Mandrake 8.1 ??
Well, I went ahead and re-did the Mandrake 8.1 install in the manner that was suggested but then when I got to trying to install the RH 5.1, the process got hung up at Disk druid. "An error occured reading the partition table for the block device hda. The error was :: No such file or directory" I think this may be occuring because RH 5.1 cannot deal with an FAT 32 ATA100 40gig drive. (Not sure if it is the FAT 32, ATA100 part or the 40 gig part.) When I try the alternative partition tool in RH 5.1 "fdisk", it indicates its looking for /dev/hda - Model WDC WD400BB-00CAA1 and also says "To install RH Linux, you must have at least one partition of 50 mb dedicated to Linux.We suggest placing that partition on one of the first two hard drives in your system so you can boot into Linux with LILO." Then it goes on to the first error message above. My devices are: hda1, Win98, fat32 (0xb), 7.8 gb (partition booted by default for MS-dos boot, not for lilo) hda5, linux native (0x83) (M 8.1), 9.8 gb (I had made this / but when I look now no mount point ...?) hda6, linux swap (0x82), 117mb hda7, linux native (0x83), (I had made this /boot but when I look now no mount point ...?) hda8, linux native (0x83), (I had made this /RHroot but when I look now no mount point ...?) hda9, dos FAT16 (0x6) (I hadn't made any mount point ... and there still is none) Any idea of the problem(s) I am encountering or a possible fix.?

Zombie processes are what you don't want.. they take space and resources but don't do amything. Use kill -9 . Sleeping processes are just that--either waiting for a slice of time and an interrupt or event to start them again or deliberately set to sleep until a scheduled awakening to perform a specific job (you'd be amazed--do you know what your computer is doing every day at 4 am?) daemons are either sleeping or running as the case may be. What differentiates a daemon is that 1) It waits for specific conditions to do a job 2) It checks for its own integrity 3) It is spawned from a master 4) After a cetrtain (programmable) number of runs, or if it finds itself corrupt, it suicides, requesting the master to spawn another. 5) Several copies of the same daemon may be available at the same time. Often this is configurable as with the apache daemon where you want to have a few spare copies around to attach to a flurry of incoming new connections. So a daemon is a programming style that is somewhat exploit, channel error and even (slightly) bug tolerant. It will still get the job done through all of that.

[newbie] Security level config
When you install a fresh copy of LM 8.2 and you set it to 'higher' security through the installation you can get different sequrity options for the users and for the system. When i tried this a few weeks back i could not login directly as root (sure that was because of the configuration) so i reinstalled with the 'high' security option. The higher had some aspects that i liked about it.

It installs itself but I can never get it to work. The latest incident was this that I'm describing below. (That was when I tried to install a tarball).

RE: [newbie] ssh / telneting
Okay how about when you want to telente to a computer that is behind a firewall ? my linux box @ home is part of a network and I think it is behind a firewall ( not really a firewall but a router I guess ) meaning that all PC's here share one IP on the internet ( and every on's got an internal IP inside ). When I visit some sites that allows me to see the IP address of my machine, I see a port number as well. SO, does this mean I can telnet to my PC using this IP+ port combination: say telnet 111.222.333.444:454 ?? ( assuming I let the telnet/ssh option open in my firewall ) ??

Re: [newbie] How do you get Xcdroast to recognise my DVD/CDROM
Wed12.30BST Seems I may of found at least a large part of the answer. If you go to these files and modify:- /etc/xcdroast.confmodification to the lines READDEV2_DEVNR = 1 READDEV2_VENDOR = "PIONEER " READDEV2_MODEL = "DVD-ROM DVD-116 " and add to , /etc/lilo.conf modifiy append line=, append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi " which I guess tells the scsi-em to recognise my DVD-ROM as a scsi device,as well as the writer. Anyway when you open up xcdroast and go Setup-Device Scan there in the window it now recognises:- BusIDVendor ModelRev.Description 0,0PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-116 1.22 CD-ROM 0,1MITSUMI CR-48X9TE 1.0C CD-ROM Which means the DVD-ROM and the Writer are now both recognised by Xcdroast and a trawl through the setup ensures that the right device is set up as both readers and writer. Clearly this is a big improvement and means it is now possible to read and write on the fly in duplicate cd, if I should choose too.The only regret is that the busId numers were not the otherway around.(ie pioneer = 0,1 mitsumi=0,0 ) However everything is not quite 100% because my boot script comes up with a message something like "blockdevice /dev/dvd cannot be located. and in addition everytime I go to open the Roast by clicking on the xcdroast icon I get a message "something has changed on the scsi-bus" which is obvious for the first time , but after Save configuration , one might expect it to decease , but it does not. Has Anyone out there got any further ideas to complete a nice configuration. regards, John On Monday 15 April 2002 14:24, you wrote: > John Richard Smith, > > Is the device set up in etc/fstab? > > Mine looks like this you can read it with less etc/fstab? you need > to be su. > > You may know all this :) > > Walter > > ~~~ > > /dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1 > none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 > none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 > /dev/hda7 /home ext3 noatime 1 2 > /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto > user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 > /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto > user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 > /dev/hda2 /mnt/windows ntfs > user,uid=501,gid=501,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 > /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom1 auto defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 > none /proc proc defaults 0 0 > /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 > fstab lines 1-11/11 (END) > > > ~~~ > > > On Mon, 15 Apr 2002 23:13, in [newbie] How do you get Xcdroast to > > recognise my DVD/CDROM, you wrote: > > Occassionally Xcdroast detects and installs my DVD-ROM as well as > > my writer device, but usually it fails:- > > > > Device Scan > > Icon [0,0} MITSUMI CR-48X9TE1.0C CD-ROM > > > > The OS itself has no problem finding and rcognising the DVD/ROM. > > > > It would be nice ti see it found and installed the DVD-ROM as > > well.
