RE: [newbie] Nuke protection?
"Nuking" is the pinging of a machine with an illegal sized packet, or assaults on other ports on the machine. Many windows machines will crash when this happens. I don't know of any such problems with Linux. -Original Message- From: Paul Hendrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 09, 1999 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Nuke protection?

I've looked at http://easynet.linuxberg.com for something, but I don't think theres any files there to help me out. OK, I'll byte 8-), what's Nuke protection? I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I know what it can do :( When you enter a channel on IRC your IP is there for everyone to see it. There are loads of "Nuke" programs for Windoze and all someone has to do is enter your IP and click send or "Kill IP". After a few seconds the victim IP is dead, i.e your modem hangs up. There was a program called NukeNabber for Windows. Also, Lockdown2000 (http://www.lockdown200.com). These progs basically intecept the nuke and disable the port. I think they get you by sending data packets that get bigger and biger untill your connection is lost... -- Best Regards, Paul Hendrick http://www.btinternet.com/~engprin1/linux.htm

When I tried to use.. unmount /mnt/cdrom I would get a message back from BASH saying something like.. "unknown command - unmount" I tried as both user and SU, and could not get the CD to open... :-/ If I tried to click on the desktop icon, and right click to unmount.. it said "device is busy" or some such error. What am I doing wrongas I eventually wound up rebooting and then pulling the CD out when it started...not good for the penguin..I'm sure. - thanks for your time - -- best regards -michael Michael Chopek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Down to Earth Development Ltd - http://www.d2earth.com/ Website Web Applications Development Extropia Developers Network - http://www.extropia.com/
RE: [newbie] fstab
1st, create a directory to mount to - I use /mnt/dos1. Then create and entry like : /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos1 default msdos default 0 0 Then when rebooting the partition at hda1 will be mounted and available at /mnt/dos1. You could also test it by entering "mount /dev/hda1" (or whatever the device is). It should map it using the info from fstab. If running fat32 you may need to use vfat as a type instead of msdos. A SCSI drive would be prefixed as SD, i.e. /dev/sda1. Note: The third letter of a device is the drive location, the number is the partition number. A=1st drive, 1=1st partition. -Original Message- From: Bert Bullough [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 06, 1999 12:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] fstab Can someone give me an example of their fstab entry ( preferably one with an entry for mounting a windows partition) so that i can see what i am doing wrong. Thanks.
RE: [newbie] RPMs (?)
I loaded it on a Dell 466ME and it is running happily (although of course it is slow). I didn't do anything special, just loaded it from CD. Interesting.

The program came back and gave me several RPMs that needed to be upgraded. I clicked on the button that said something like "go get the updates". It got the updates without a problem. However, upon trying to install the updates, I got an error messages telling me that the RPMs were for a "different architecture". Indeed, the RPMs the update utility received had "i586" in their names. I'm running on a 486, not a 586. Please tell me how you managed to get it to run on a 486. It's not supposed to work on a 486 (I'm currently compiling a 486 compatible version though) and we never claimed it would. If you keep using this version on a 486, you'll probably run into a lot more problems. You should wait for the 486 version (should be only a couple of days from now), or use a distribution that wasn't made for Pentium+ processors. LLaP bero
