Re: [newbie-it] in attesa di stampa-commento decisamente FT
Ciao Giorgio! Con la Mandrake 8.2 finalmente sono riuscita a stampare con la Lezmark Z52 usb (ok, come stampante non è un granchè: è un rimasuglio d'ufficio che non ho pagato, perciò me la tengo stretta). Il problema è che ha da qualche mese dei problemi al sensore della carta, che generalmente risolvo smontandola e rimontandola dopo aver dato una pulita (quando ho tempo), altrimenti con shakeramenti e pugni (quando di tempo non ne ho e devo stampare a tutti costi). Da due settimane lo shakeramento non ha più effetto, ma stamattina magicamente la signorina ha deciso che c'era della carta (qualcuno ha mai visto Dark Star di Carpenter?) e sta stampando tutte le date dei concorsi di dottorato a Bologna (taaante pagine). Lo avevo messo in stampa appunto due settimane fa. Perciò un saluto alle stampe fantasma di Giorgio e un grazie al consiglio di Fabio, utilissimo. Si possono eliminare i processi in coda anche dal control center-printer manager-alla voce jobs. Un consiglio puramente empirico per chi ha problemi come il mio con la Lexmark: quando ha ripreso a funzionare, non spegnetela più! Altrimenti si dimentica che la volta prima aveva rilevato la carta e si ricomincia da capo. Ciao dall'empirica Chiara che è molto contenta che la stampante malefica funzioni di nuovo.

[newbie-it] mplayer e dvd

Naturalmente è predisposto sulla base dei nomi che le partizioni hanno nel MIO fstab; io te l'avevo mandato solo perché ci guardassi dentro, non per lanciarlo così com'era.

C'e' un modo per lanciarlo?) La sintassi è una banalità unica, perché, dopo aver specificato la shell da usare, c'è una serie di righe ognuna delle quali riporta pari pari il comando che verrebbe dato in un terminale per montare una singola partizione; visto, visto... tanto banale che nn ha nemmeno i riferimenti ai CD... ;-) non c'è nessun riferimento a dispositivi diversi da hda, per cui non capisco come abbiano fatto ad incasinarsi i CD rom, Appunto, come dicevo io!

Piuttosto, cosa ci fa nel tuo fstab il riferimento a hdb per il lettore CD? Lì ci va hdd! Nossignore: nei collegamenti quadrupli dei miei dispositivi, il lettore CD e' lo slave del disco primario, quindi hdb. Hdd e' lo slave del secondario, che nel mio caso corrisponde al vecchio HD da (ecco! Vi vedo che ridete!) 245 Mb. Di più non so dire, casomai ti mando il mio fstab in separata sede.

Looks great, Todd. Cracks me up, in fact. A few nitpicking comments:
1. Microsoft never says Internet Explorer. They always say Microsoft
Internet Explorer. Consider doing the same. It will help the public
remember not only that MSIE sucks but also what company is responsible
for this sucky product.
2. Luckily? Perhaps thankfully or happily is the word you want. A
good browser isn't made with luck.
3. Ditto assholes. The webmasters that I know who make MSIE only sites
aren't assholes, they're incompetent.
4. Make sure your code can distinguish between MSIE and a browser
falsely identifying itself as MSIE.
Very important point. IIRC, Opera masquerades as IE by default.
Great job. Let us know the URL once it's up.

I'm a newcomer to Snort myself, so the following may be partially or totally incorrect, but you might like to try it: in the /etc/snort.conf file (check the location of that file!), there should be an item that looks like: $MY_NET=any This Snort variable tells Snort which networks are internal. So, for example, if you want to tell Snort that all of the 213.224.83.x network is an internal network, you put this in snort.conf: $MY_NET=213.224.83.0/24 You can also include other networks in your definition, e.g.: $MY_NET=[213.224.83.0/24,192.168.0.0/24] Now many of the Snort rules use the $EXTERNAL_NET and $MY_NET variables to determine whether there is a potential attack, so if Snort knows which networks are internal then it won't report traffic from those networks as an attack. You _might_ also need to change the $EXTERNAL_NET variable to _exclude_ the networks you have defined for $MY_NET, e.g.: $EXTERNAL_NET=![213.224.83.0/24,192.168.0.0/24] Like I said, this is all I can tell you with my limited experience.

[newbie] HP Office Jet resolution
I've got my HP OfficeJet 720 printer working on my WalMart Mandrake 8.2 using the CUPS HP DeskJet 550C driver, but it's only giving me 300dpi resolution. The printer supports 600dpi and at one time I thought I stumbled across a WWW based configuration tool that offered that, but now I can't find it again.

I used PM to set up vaious Windows and linux partitions, do the formatting, etc. It seemed to work for a few days when a massive failure of the linux filesystem occurred. I didn't bother to do a root cause analysis, but since then I've confined PM usage to Windows partitions only, and DiskDrake to Linux partitions, and life has been good.

[newbie] Can I assign IRQ's manually
My system basically works. I have an Nvidia agp video board and I am having trouble getting agp graphics without crashing. If I use the kernel agp module (agpgart), I crash almost immediately (Which is supposed to happen with the Intel 440LX PCI bus) If I use the Nvidia AGP, it takes longer but I almost always crash. Right now I am running without agp, which seems kind of pointless. I think I might have an IRQ conflict since it looks like both my video card and a TV tuner card (ATI TV Wonder VE) are using the same IRQ. So, can I assign IRQ's manually? (To at least one of these cards) How do I do it? Mandrake 8.2 system. Dell Pentium II 233, 128 megs memory Thanks! John Herzfeld Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have just finished setting up nfs exports to machines on a network (server LM8.1 and clients LM 8.1 and SuSE 7.2). im using NISfor logins into the linux boxes. previously, it exported all home directories well on every login. but after i changed the path of the home directories from /home/std to /home/students, everything went crazy. NIS still logs in well for the SuSE boxes but the are no exports at all, not the home directories or the other shared directories. I always get the message on the client side mount : /home/students failed, reason given by server: Permision denied and so is the case with the other exportson the server, the /var/log/messages gives me this reportrpc.mountd: refused mount request from 192.168.2.10 (masaba2.tech.mak.ac.ug.2.168.192.in-addr.arpa) for /home/students (/home/students): no DNS forward lookup! all my permissions are set up OK, my name server is running well. is there anything im missing out on???On the LM 8.1 client boxes, NIS has totally refused every attempt to make it function. i have set up everything but failed to get the message YP_PROC DOMAIN NOT BOUND and cant log in either.wouldnt mind so pointer to help me out. thanks Mike(please send a reply also to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___Be Unique!

Re: [newbie] configuration of Snort IDS
Chris, Your advice is largely accurate, but an easier way to set the $EXTERNAL_NET variable would be to set it equal to !$MY_NET. Keeps the code a little neater. You definately want to set $EXTERNAL_Net to be equal to !$MY_NET to resuce false positives internally.

I'm a newcomer to Snort myself, so the following may be partially or totally incorrect, but you might like to try it: in the /etc/snort.conf file (check the location of that file!), there should be an item that looks like: $MY_NET=any This Snort variable tells Snort which networks are internal. So, for example, if you want to tell Snort that all of the 213.224.83.x network is an internal network, you put this in snort.conf: $MY_NET=213.224.83.0/24 You can also include other networks in your definition, e.g.: $MY_NET=[213.224.83.0/24,192.168.0.0/24] Now many of the Snort rules use the $EXTERNAL_NET and $MY_NET variables to determine whether there is a potential attack, so if Snort knows which networks are internal then it won't report traffic from those networks as an attack. You _might_ also need to change the $EXTERNAL_NET variable to _exclude_ the networks you have defined for $MY_NET, e.g.: $EXTERNAL_NET=![213.224.83.0/24,192.168.0.0/24] Like I said, this is all I can tell you with my limited experience.

If you DO, then you'll need to post more information on your settings, etc. snip Also check that the /etc/hosts.allow file has the IP address, if you are in a secure environment then, ALL:ipddress would be ok. It would not hurt to also put the ip in /etc/hosts. (replace ipaddress with the client ip) HTH David The most likely cause for this connection refused message is; 1) the ftp server isn't running 2) the port for the service isn't open 3) the connection attempt was seen as a hostile connection by portsentry and the ip address of the incoming connection has been blocked. To correct this do these things in this order: 1) check the status of the ftp service by issuing this command as root user: service ftpservice-name status [ENTER] ( in my case, I'm running Pureftpd the command would look like this: service pureftpd status [ENTER] ) a) if the service is running a pid number will be returned b) if it is not running the service name will be returned and it will tell you that the service is stopped c) if the service is stopped you can start it by issuing this command: service ftpservice-name start 2) once you're sure your ftp server is indeed running the next to check is that if port 21 is open. ( at this point I would also mention that if you're running a firewall, AND You should be!!! you will want to be certain that you've opened this port on the firewall). To check to see if your port is open check inside this file: /etc/services you should see a line in the file that appears like this: ftp 21/tcp a) if you find the line above appearing as it does in this example then port 21 is open - check with your firewall to further see about this port being open. b) if the above line appears like this: #ftp 21/tcp then the port is closed and you need to open it by removing the pound # sign from the beginning of the line thus opening the port for connections. 3) If you've checked with the first two and you're coming up empty then you need to check the /etc/hosts.deny file. By default Mandrake installs portsentry to the system and sets the process to run as -atcp -audp. That means its checking everything. a) in the past I've noticed that Netscape Communicator would trip portsentry and the incoming connection would appear as a hostile connection attempt in much the same way that a port scan appears. It would therefore enter the offending connection's IP address into the /etc/hosts.deny file and create the appropriate iptables rule to block further connection attempts. b) cbeck /etc/hosts.deny for the IP address of the machine you're trying to connect to the ftp server from. if you find it there you can either comment it out with a # (pound sign) or you can remove it completely. let us know how you make out.

It's a console based (ncurses) downlaod manager that searches mirrors, or if you are really feeling like experimenting, try ProzGUI (download the static build as it doesn't build on LM 8.2)... it uses a FLTK interface, and supports mirror-searching, and downloading from threads from separate servers at the same time. Never failed on me. http://prozila.genesys.ro/ BTW: prozilla is on your LM 8.2 CD's ;-) Greetings Ralph On Fri, 20 Sep 2002, John Richard Smith wrote: Stefano Pogliani wrote: What is NT downloader ?

Re: [newbie] Mounting my NTFS partition

Thanks for the above Michael. With your advice and adive from many others on the list I am able to mount my NTFS partition. I have added it to fstab and it works fine. I can only access it when logged in as root though. (I'll tackle that next) Many people suggested a FAT32 common area to read/write files between Linux and WindowsXP but I can't do that here. The Windows disk that came with my machine will only install using NTFS and it takes the entire 40g hard drive for itself with no consideration for what may already be on the disk. I haven't found a (free) tool that will let me claim back some of that space to use as anything other than NTFS. I will have the last laugh when I put my final chosen Linux dist on here using both 40g disks and use those Windows CDs for coasters!

Re: [newbie] Upcoming addition of Linux to XP system - Update
I loaded Mandrake 8.2 and was going through the networking setup after loading the wireless RPM when the workstation started acting goofy. The networking setup window did not close upon request and was still showing an hour glass 90 minutes after selecting 'Close.' I finally killed the process. My desktop icons also disappeared during this time and I could not log out/shut down. I had to force a hard shut down. Linux wanted to check the file system integrity upon boot-up. I thought it was a good idea, too. However upon boot-up, I am able to log in at a command prompt, but no further. The limit of my *nix command knowledge is 'ls -l' from 15 years ago when I administered a Xenix system for my employer. How do I load the graphical interface? Do I need to start over?

I ignored that option and then asked for the file system integrity check. I am back in the graphical environment. Now I just need to get my PCMCIA wireless network card working and I am all set.

[newbie] giving up the ship?
How do you block Nimda attacks from your logs? Really, now, there must be a way, I have tried script after script, I am still getting attacked by this IP: 65.192.141.115 Who are these criminals? They have no right attacking me like this! I can't whois them or traceroute, or samspade them, it is not fair. I guess you just can't run a web server anymore. Is there one good reason why I should not give up? I don't understand honeyport, it is too hard. Isnt there something easier, a script I can just download and install? Surely, by now, someone has invented a more effective method, surely, I mean, are all the world's webmasters just going to sit down, and take it in the back? Is there a kind soul out there who would like to offer a script to this list that would retaliate by remotely shutting down the attacking server? This has got to stop, I have sat by for too long, and I don't intend to take this attacking any longer. I wish to thank all those who offered me the web pages of honeyport, thank you so much, but I'm looking for something that is more assertive, something that will *do* something, not just e mail the admin only to be ignored, I'm not playing Mr. Nice any more. I'm going to aggressively fight back, if there is a script that I can put in my /bin directory that will scan my /var/tmp/blocked file and instead of just ipchain-ing them out, (INEFFECTIVE!) it will shut them down, it is the only way.

Unless I'm mistaken, what you are suggesting to do is illegal in most barrios, but if you snoop around in the right places i'm sure you can find someone to play enabler to your skr1p7 k1dd33 lusts. don't expect anyone on this list to give you some magic script that thwarts the bad guys. just firewall that crap off and ignore it. but since they are sending out stuff...
