Re: [newbie] Removing a full directory via command line
I think I sent that message to your real e-mail address instead of the list. Whoops. :-) Anyway... At the command line just type: unalias rm Then rm will no longer be aliased by the shell. Just please PLEASE remember never to run rm -r as root or you face the very real danger of trashing your system. Also, be VERY careful if the directory you are deleting contains symbolic links, because rm -r will follow them. If you have write permissions to the files the link points to, they will be trashed as well.

Re: [newbie] Nvidia Drivers
Open a terminal and type rpm -ivh package-name and substitute the real package name. If you want to know what files will be installed, do an rpm -qpf package-name. If there is a script that is called install that is installed by the rpm, then note its location so you can run it after the RPM is installed. Dan Hi, I have Mandrake 7.2 installed and wanted to use the latest drivers for Linux that are posted on Nvidia's web site for my Gforce Annihilator Pro card. I downloaded the RPM and when I double click it, I get a list of files. One of these files is called install, if I double click that I get a text message saying "Run this to install the package". Not too sure how to do this or what to do next. Can anyone give me some guidance? Thanks, j0e -- Humor in the Court: Q: Are you sexually active? A: No, I just lie there.

Re: [newbie] Apache
Dave DeGear [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I've got my telnet and ftp servers working ok and would like to try playing with Apache. If I install the latest Apache rpm files should I worry immediately about any security problems with this. I'd like to have it running while I'm learning but not if I introduce too many security leaks. :-( Has anyone gone through this recently? I've never run a web server before. ...Dave I've played a little bit with Apache. If you download the latest version, it should be reasonably secure. Just remember that your telnet or ftp may have security holes as well. That would open up your web server to an attack via ftp or telnet. Also, if you are planning on running any cgi programs, you may open yourself up that way. You can also misconfigure Apache and open it up. There is a book that I read called "Maximum Linux Security" It has a rather large section devoted to securing Apache, I read through the chapter as I was playing with the configuration files. It is a good resource. Oh one more thing... I would reccomend you ditch telnet and install OpenSSL and OpenSSH. SSH (secure shell) works similarly to telnet, however, it employs encryption so people cannot use a traffic sniffer to get your passwords. It can also use public key encryption for authentication which prevents spoofing attacks that telnet is vulnerable to. If you plan on logging into your server remotely, SSH is a much better alternative to telnet. SSH also allows you to foreward ports from a local computer to a remote computer. This allows you to make encrypted "tunnels" that you can run other protocols through these "tunnels" and the data will be encrypted by SSH. As far as ftp goes, just remember that the passwords are sent in plain text. For a web server you should probably disable anonymous ftp access. Dan
Re: [newbie] Tripwire ??
Tripwire is a program that uses cryptographic checksums (like md5, crc32, and SHA1) to perform accounting on the filesystem. Tripwire is generally used to make sure that a program like login, or ps, or netstat isn't substituted for a version that is trojaned, because the MD5 sums on the trojaned version will be different than the MD5 sums on the original program. Coincidently, this is why Linux distributors like Red Hat and Mandrake ALWAYS print MD5 sums for their ISO images avaliable to download. There is also a GPLed replacement for Tripwire, but I don't remember the name of it off hand. Somebody else may know. Tripwire was semi-difficult for me to install the first time. It has a very strange looking configuration file. There is a manual that comes with it. I suggest downloading it and printing it out. It is in PDF format. If you check out Tripwire and decide that it is to hard for you, you can do a poor mans version with find and md5sum... find / -name -print | md5sum md5sums. this will print out md5sums for every file on your disk. Tweak to your hearts content. :-) I would exclude log files, spool directories, and configuration files that you change frequently. The Mandrake security scripts attempt to do some of this by calculating the MD5 sums for SUID and SGID files on your system every night. Dan Mark Weaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: what is tripwire?

Re: [newbie] nslookup and domain name
On Tue, 21 Nov 2000, Ron Auer wrote: Configuration question After I finished the configuration, I loaded an application that requires it to resolve IP address based on host name. So if I have a computer with name of mypc.mt.org, it wants to resolve on mypc (since all PC must be in the same domain). So when I do a ping mypc, it can not find it. If I do a ping mypc.mt.org it works fine. Same problem with nslookup when I type nslookup mypc I get: Server: unix.mt.org Address: 138.39.153.1 *** unix.mt.org can't fine mypc: Non-existent host/domain However, when I do a nslookup mypc.mt.org I get: Server: unix.mt.org Address: 138.39.153.1 Name: mypc.mt.org Address: 138.39.167.30 When I do dnsdomain name I get mt.org. When I do domainname it is blank. To fix the ping problem, I put in /etc/hosts the ipaddress and mypc as an alias. However, this does not fix nslookup problem. But even more importantly, I did not want to put anything in the /etc/hosts if possible as there are a lot of PCs on the network and IP addresses get changed and we may be going to dhcp soon. My question, what did I configure incorrectly so Linux isn't appending the domainname to the hostname when I do something like ping or nslookup? Thanks Ron In /etc/resolv.conf, there is a directive called search. It looks like: search mt.org this would make the resolver append mypc.org to the end of any domain names that you type in. So if you type in ping mypc, the resolver will automatically append mt.org to that. Dan

Re: [newbie] ipchains
I use ipchains on 2 linux boxes I have here at home (no pmfirewall). There is a pair of scripts, one called ipchains-save, the other ipchains-restore. If you write a bunch of firewall rulesets and you are happy, you can just do something similar to: ipchains-save /etc/firewall Then in one of the startup scripts, you can do this: ipchains-restore /etc/firewall The actual ipchains rulesets are part of the Linux kernel, and exist in the memory of the computer, so they will go away if you set them up and then reboot or shutdown. I had a bit of confusion about this myself when I first started playing with ipchains, so it is understandable. The two scripts, ipchains-save and ipchains-restore will parse the firewall rulesets and determine which options you used when you set them up. Then they write the command line options to the standard output, which you then redirect into a file. Dan

No virtual terminals when I hit alt-f1, or alt-f3-f6. I couldn't log in via ssh either. I didn't telnet to my sendmail to see if that was still responding.

Re: [newbie] ipchains and ssh
At 08:11 AM 9/27/00 -0500, you wrote: Hello, My first post on the newbie list... I have been struggling for some time to get SSH to work on my Linux box (2.2.13-4mdk : Mandrake 6.1). I believe I finally have it up and running, because I am able to create a SSH connection from/to the machine itself. What I can't seem to manage is to make a SSH connection from an external machine (I work in DC, Linux box is at home in OH). I am trying using FiSSH and I repeatedly get "Failed to Connect to Host." Now, I do have a firewall up, and it is a pretty basic one in order to provide IP-Masquerading (which works!), so I thought maybe my problem was simply that the firewall wasn't letting the connection to port 22. So, after extensive research I felt that what I needed to add was a couple rules to allow the connection in, and I tried to add something like this (and other similar variations): ipchains -A input -p tcp -s xxx.xxx.com -d yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy 22 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A output -p tcp -d xxx.xxx.com -d yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy 22 -j ACCEPT But it isn't working - and I think my problem lies with xxx.xxx.com and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy (the source and destination addresses). 1. I don't exactly know the source IP address for where I'm at, so is it acceptable to use xxx.xxx.com instead? 2. I have a variable IP - so how the heck do I populate yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy with my current IP address if I don't even know it? For #2 - I've seen some people use $IPADDR which is all well and good, but I don't know how to populate that variable without simply hardcoding and that just presents the same problem again. In addition, I typed in the ipchains commands (both above) at the command prompt and used what my IP address is currently and I still couldn't connect to it remotely via SSH.So now my entire solution has been undermined. Any suggestions? Thanks, George I have the exact same setup as you do (almost) and ssh works from anywhere. I just did this ipchains -A input -p tcp -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 22 -j ACCEPT If you are really concerned about the source address, try using the ip address instead of the hostname/DNS name, because it may resolve to something unexpected. As you can see, in my example, I wasn't concerned with the source address. Only the destination address and port number. Dan

You don't need X windows to make it work, and its more friendly and organized than the standard 'make config' -Keep a copy of your current kernel.

Just add a line that looks like this: image=/boot/kernelimage label=linux2 root=your root partition (/dev/hda1 or whatever) Obviously, you have to copy the compiled kernel image to /boot.
