[opensuse-factory] no luck with luks

2006-12-20 Thread Hans Witvliet
Just tried to replay an example from the net with luks under 10.2,
without success.


According to the aricle Datan verschlussen mit dm-crypt fur Linux
from 11 december 2006 (rather up-to-date, I thought)
i should do:

 dd if=/dev/zero of=crypt.img bs=1M count=100
 shred -n 1 crypt.img
 losetup  /dev/loop0 crypt.img
 cryptsetup luksFormat -c aes-cbc-essiv:sh256 -s 256 -y /dev/loop0

According to the man-page of cryptsetup that should be ok.
cryptset up however fails with:
WARNING!

This will overwrite data on /dev/loop0 irrevocably.

Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes): YES
Enter LUKS passphrase:
Verify passphrase:
Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping.
Check kernel for support for the aes-cbc-essiv:sh256 cipher spec and
verify that /dev/loop0 contains at least 258 sectors.
Failed to write to key storage.

Well, crypt.img is large enough (100MB) in this example.

A quick glance in /proc showed:
#  zcat /proc/config.gz |grep -i aes
CONFIG_RADIO_MAESTRO=m
CONFIG_SND_MAESTRO3=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_586=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_PADLOCK_AES=y

And a deeper look in /usr/src/linux (default 10.2GM kernel) showed
config 10.2 kernel:
* Cryptographic options
*
Cryptographic API (CRYPTO) [Y/?] y
  HMAC support (CRYPTO_HMAC) [Y/?] y
  Null algorithms (CRYPTO_NULL) [M/n/y/?] m

  CAST6 (CAST-256) cipher algorithm (CRYPTO_CAST6) [M/n/y/?] m
  TEA, XTEA and XETA cipher algorithms (CRYPTO_TEA) [M/n/y/?] m
  ARC4 cipher algorithm (CRYPTO_ARC4) [M/y/?] m
  Khazad cipher algorithm (CRYPTO_KHAZAD) [M/n/y/?] m
  Anubis cipher algorithm (CRYPTO_ANUBIS) [M/n/y/?] m
  Deflate compression algorithm (CRYPTO_DEFLATE) [M/y/?] m
  Michael MIC keyed digest algorithm (CRYPTO_MICHAEL_MIC) [M/y/?] m
  CRC32c CRC algorithm (CRYPTO_CRC32C) [M/y/?] m
  Testing module (CRYPTO_TEST) [M/n/?] m

So what am i misssing?
All available crypto parts are build as modules.

Where should i check for:
Check kernel for support for the aes-cbc-essiv:sh256 cipher spec

(Not tried it yet on older machines, but will do)

[opensuse-factory] rug / zypper comparision

2006-12-20 Thread Dominique Leuenberger
Hi,

I'm getting with this to the factory list as I don't want to bother
'regular user support' in the opensuse-ML.

Everybody nowadays is talking about how much better zypper would be
compared to rug/zmd.
Can somebody just in short tell me where the advantage is? Ok: it does
not use the zm-daemon, but this one is running quiet nice in 10.2
(didn't have to many probs yet.. or I'm not aware of them...)

On the other hand, with zypper, I always have to su just to install a
single package.

That's something I like about rug for example: I can add a catalog as
su, subscribe to it, and from there my users are allowed to grab
packages. Without knowing the su password. But they are not allowed to
install an rpm using rug (at least that was what my test showed me: it's
ok to INstall from a subscribed catalog, but nor from a local rpm)

And in overall, rug feels 'faster' for me compared to zypper. This
especially as zypper, whenever I do something like zypper lu or zypper
se, refreshes the catalogs. There seems to be no caching at all or it's
not working for me. and this makes zypper quiet slow. rug OTOH just
gives me the requested output. The fact, that an update can happen on a
repo just in the time between the last refresh, is quiet low. I admit,
in some cases this lead to unresolvable dependencies.

So: I'm looking forward to hear some other statements, maybe
corrections.

[opensuse-factory] libxcb

2006-12-20 Thread Claes Bäckström

Started to track factory again. And I have a bit of a problem. Not
sure if it's a not synched yet problem or a real problem.

xorg-x11-libs-7.2-19 provided libxcb.so.1 and the new version
xorg-x11-libs-7.2-23 seems like it doesn't provide this. Is this that
we awaiting xorg-x11-libcb or something like that? Or is this a bug

Exactly. Unfortunately the build of xorg-x11-libxcb fails due to
broken xsltproc. :-(

[opensuse-factory] updates to 10.2

The updater on the kicker says there 11 updates available to download.
YaST online update claims there are none. How do I get the right hand

 Hello,
 
 Can anyone recommend a firewire card the will work with Suse 10.0, kernel

We have been most happy with UniBrain 400 cards. We also use Adaptec
FireConnect 4300 cards with no trouble. Our main use is IEEE1394 cameras
running at the full 400 MBit rate. This has worked since Suse 9.3. The
only glitch we ever ran into was on 10.0 and a 64-bit install. Don't
know the status of that. But the 32-bit SUSEs have always worked fine.

[opensuse] ATI Drivers - Not yet for everyone

2006-12-20 Thread John Andersen
I was encouraged by discussion on this list that I could at last slap
my 10.2 DVD in and install on my Core 2 Duo (x86_64) and
be assured that ATI drivers would be there.

Sadly, that is not yet the case, and after nuking a perfectly good 
10.1 install, I am stuck at 800x600.  Of course this only becomes
obvious after you add the www2.ati.com repo AFTER install
only to find it still is not available.

So Late model Radeon (mine is x1400) users should hold
off for a little longer.

Dominique,

I'm a bit messed up now. Initially both my boxes were behind firewall.
In the office it was proxy, at home it was firewall/NAT.

Right now I reconfigured my home network so that IBM Aptiva with
openSuSE box is itself router/firewall. In the morning I tried
marymount site from this box and it was OK. But now the site does not
answer. It appears, it is unresponsive for everything (even FF from
Windows XP), so I'm afraid we could create DoS (everybody on this
thread trying to access it) :-( But the second site keh.com works fine
even on direct connection.

I have 9600XT on 10.2 openSuSE and the ati fglrx drivers installs and loads 
the module - but it's always fell back to Mesa software rendering.  I tried 
to uninstall the Mesa package and libGLU* went away - the ATi drivers have 
always been kludgy,  But I've had it with ATI and their utter lack of descent 
drivers (Linux or Windows) and next vid-card upgrade is nVidia all the way.  
So much for thinking AMD would make things better.

I don't think anything excludes this. There probably IS a problem in
the stack of that box. It appears to me not to be the latest release of
anything (it's serving an Apache 1.3). So probably the later kernel just
moved one step to close to the standard... and this specific server is
just a bit to far from it.

That's what I like about RFCs: there is so much room for
misinterpretation... and everybody understands something completely
different, causing such problems.

If somebody knows the server admin, maybe he can suggest to have an
upgrade there?

Re: [opensuse] passwords

2006-12-20 Thread Jan Engelhardt

To all the folks who write code for Linux:

The linux kernel has nothing to do with password management.

I live in a house by myself.  Nobody else ever uses my computer.  I really 
hate it when some program tells me I need an 8-character  password.  I would 

You are not restricted to 8 characters. I for example use a 2-character 
pw at home (external logins only per ssh key). Or, you can also have 
more than 8, if that was which you were complaining about. Heck, if you 
think of your password being so annoying/worthless/nonprivate, just 
write it onto a PostIt note and stick it on the screen.

be just as happy to bypass the password stuff altogether, but I have a simple 
password that I want to use on everything.  It has 5 characters, and I can 
remember it.  Please keep people like me in mind.  Thank you.

 obvious after you add the www2.ati.com repo AFTER install

 So Late model Radeon (mine is x1400) users should hold
 off for a little longer.

I have 9600XT on 10.2 openSuSE and the ati fglrx drivers installs and loads
the module - but it's always fell back to Mesa software rendering.  I tried
to uninstall the Mesa package and libGLU* went away - the ATi drivers have
always been kludgy,  But I've had it with ATI and their utter lack of descent
drivers (Linux or Windows) and next vid-card upgrade is nVidia all the way.
So much for thinking AMD would make things better.

openSUSE 10.2 is our first product where we have CUPS 1.2
and here we have CUPS version 1.2.7.

There have been tons of bug fixes in CUPS 1.2, see
http://www.cups.org/relnotes.php
In particular note the entry about Increased the HTTP and
IPP read timeouts and the matching software trouble report
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1719
which might be the actual cause of this problem (or at least
related to the problem).

Only if the problem persists with CUPS version 1.2.7, we are
interested in further debugging (in particular because for me the
problem happened while I used the above mentioned test version
1.2.0 but it did not happen again since I use openSUSE 10.2) and
we will not debug a CUPS version which we never had in our products.


 Server: cups-1.1.23-21
 
 So that might be the cause..

As you did not write what you did while those messages appear
in eror_log I can only guess that after several failed attempts
(which result IPP Read Error), the same command finally worked
and leads to job 3 which is exactly my experience.

The IPP Read Error alone does not help to find the actual reason.

Note what I wrote you and see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
If problems are encountered
how to get more useful information for debugging.

In this particular case check if even LogLevel debug2 may be
required in this particular case to get some meaningful debug
information and note that the debug information for exactly
one failed attempt is sufficient.

I simply can't imagine that a company with a/several static ip(s) and good 
bandwidth will not get a correct reverse dns if they insist on getting 
one. If that is the case and there is an alternative available the 
customer WILL change.


They definitely won't offer that service to small fry. I asked my current 
provider (of my private internet connection) if I could get a static ip 
for additional pay and they told me it is impossible. On the other hand 
they simply don't have business customers. So it's logical that they won't 
set up static ips and reverse dns.



An idea.

When asking for the r-name for my current IP (W.X.Y.Z), I get something 
like this:


  Z.Red-W-X-Y-.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net.

   (and sometimes static something, instead of dynamic, go figure - 
   this is the main provider here, by the way). 


Bleah, I see these hostnames very often on my reject report. Let's see 
what restrictions would make your server fail:


Your IP (example):
Dec 20 12:27:12 spamkill postfix/smtpd[15448]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 
181.Red-83-59-227.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net[83.59.227.181]: 554 5.7.1 Service 
unavailable; Client host [83.59.227.181] blocked using 
dynablock.njabl.org; Dynamic/Residential IP range listed by NJABL 
dynablock - http://njabl.org/dynablock.html;


My server would block you, because that IP is listed as dynamic.

Even if the ip would not be blocked, just your hostname alone (the reverse 
dns name, not the helo) would trigger additional check like checking in 
bl.spamcop.net, greylisting and sender address verify.


Because I did indeed get some desired mails from that address space I 
can't block rima-tde.net hard.


So, suppose I had a domain name, but instead of pointing it to my static 
address (if I had one), could I point it to the given reverse name 
instead? I don't know how that is called in DNS parlance, but I suppose 
you get the idea.


The rDNS on the real name would work, as my real name would not be the 
one I choosed, but the one my ISP gave me...


:-?


This wouldn't change your IP, and many checks apply ip based blacklists.
I have a server on a dynamic ip, so I know very well that the situation 
might be manageable if you are using the server to learn and only for your 
own private purposes, that that will fail if more users are depending on 
the server and they can't react and set a route for a domain that does not 
take the mail directly.


In the end the only solution is to use the relayhost of your provider with 
all the restrictions that apply to that solution.


I decided to invest in a static ip and change provider because more and 
more servers do not accept mails directly, and the relayserver of my 
provider is not as reliable as I wish my server to be. So, I will soon be 
able to enjoy the benefits of a static ip.

One thing that would be nice, would be if SUSE would allow individual
user groups, when a user is created.  As it currently is, with the
users group and default permissions, anyone can read your home directory.

Re: [opensuse] IRC, ICQ, which app?

 Hi,
 
 I never used IRC, ICQ etc., but now I'd like to give it a try.
There's
 quite a 
 choice of apps in Yast - what should I install?
 
 I like a gui, must be fool-proof :-) 
 
 thanks for your hints.
 

Daniel,

I for myself prefer x-chat for IRC and gaim for all Instant messaging
(ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber). But taste can vary of course.

  I can get to Mary Mount too, where I previously could not! Seems
  the site is fixed???
 
  Comfirmed: www.keh.com is still broken.

 That must be while it was offline for a few hours now. The admin
 probably did some stack upgrades on his machine, that was broken.
 If somebody knows the admin of keh.com, it would be nice to inform
 that one about this issue.

The http://www.marymount.com/ address is accessible, the 
http://www.marymount.edu/ address (where this all is about) not. I 
mistakenly checked the .com address (cut  paste from a different 
mail).

Sorry,

[opensuse] Fwd: openSUSE 10.2 Open XChange 0.8.2 set up woes

2006-12-20 Thread Jym Brittain

Greetings,
I am trying to set up Open Xchange 0.8.2 from the posted RPMs on a
clean install of openSUSE 10.2. I am following the instructions in
/usr/share/doc/packages/open-xchange/README.SUSE very carefully.

I get to the ldapadd -x -Dyour rootdn -W -f
/usr/share/open-xchange/init_ldap.ldif step and get the following
error:

adding new entry cn=users,ou=Groups,ou=OxObjects,dc=redacted,dc=com
ldap_add: Internal (implementation specific) error (80)
additional info: no structuralObjectClass operational attribute


Does anyone have words of wisdom to help me get past this? I have to
admit, I know next to nothing about ldap so please be gentle.

  Interesting... still, in my country it is very difficult or even impossible
  to get rDNS even from the address space owner. They simply do not offer that
  service, and the talk persons do not even know what it is (not really
  technicians).
 
 I simply can't imagine that a company with a/several static ip(s) and good
 bandwidth will not get a correct reverse dns if they insist on getting one. If
 that is the case and there is an alternative available the customer WILL
 change.

I suppose so. A big customer can get almost anything.


 They definitely won't offer that service to small fry. I asked my current
 provider (of my private internet connection) if I could get a static ip for
 additional pay and they told me it is impossible. On the other hand they
 simply don't have business customers. So it's logical that they won't set up
 static ips and reverse dns.

No, my provider does give static IPs if you ask for it, on adsl (or 
whatever). It is used by small businesses, and also people needing it to 
work from home because their company has set their firewall to admit 
connections from certain IPs only, and things like that.

I know that making rDNS is almost impossible because I have a friend with 
a Fidonet node and small mail server, and he doesn't have reverse dns 
working. He once was a very small provider himself, with a partnership, 
and he commented that he couldn't get it. Other people in the Spanish list 
also commented they couldn't get it, and from several providers. Its quite 
common around here, and unbeliveable for people like you ;-)


 
  An idea.
  
  When asking for the r-name for my current IP (W.X.Y.Z), I get something like
  this:
  
Z.Red-W-X-Y-.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net.
  
 (and sometimes static something, instead of dynamic, go figure - this
 is the main provider here, by the way). 
 
 Bleah, I see these hostnames very often on my reject report. Let's see what
 restrictions would make your server fail:

...

 My server would block you, because that IP is listed as dynamic.

I know, I know. I meant the idea, not that particular IP range. Suppose 
mine had the word static. Just assume that it would not be rejected, 
every thing else being correct. I'm just curious about getting a matching 
rDNS name that way.

For my provider, static IPs are named as 
Z.Red-W-X-Y-.staticIP.rima-tde.net..


 Because I did indeed get some desired mails from that address space I can't
 block rima-tde.net hard.

It has millions of users, both home and businesses, both dynamic and static 
;-)

 
  So, suppose I had a domain name, but instead of pointing it to my static
  address (if I had one), could I point it to the given reverse name instead?
  I don't know how that is called in DNS parlance, but I suppose you get the
  idea.
  
  The rDNS on the real name would work, as my real name would not be the one
  I choosed, but the one my ISP gave me...
  
  :-?
 
 This wouldn't change your IP, and many checks apply ip based blacklists.

I know, it's a theoretical idea, assuming an static IP, and not 
blacklisted.


 I have a server on a dynamic ip, so I know very well that the situation might
 be manageable if you are using the server to learn and only for your own
 private purposes, that that will fail if more users are depending on the
 server and they can't react and set a route for a domain that does not take
 the mail directly.
 
 In the end the only solution is to use the relayhost of your provider with all
 the restrictions that apply to that solution.

Certainly, certainly, but I'm not receiving mail directly, and I don't 
have users.


 I decided to invest in a static ip and change provider because more and more
 servers do not accept mails directly, and the relayserver of my provider is
 not as reliable as I wish my server to be. So, I will soon be able to enjoy
 the benefits of a static ip.

Might have to do that one day. 

One reason I send my mail directly, is that the relay host of my ISP only 
accepts my email if the FROM is theirs, and reject it otherwise. So, using 
their relay, I could not send using my sourceforge or ieee alias, for 
instance. I'm still investigating it, because I think postfix is not being 
able to authenticate properly to them.


Otherwise, I modify the transport file as needed.

[opensuse] what is: consider re-linking ?

At the moment after some changes in my setup in 10.1 I cannot start Firefox.
It tells me that another Firefox is already running but is not responding. I 
should close the existing process or I should restart !!?? my system.
Looked with htop where the remnants from Firefox would be but no trace of it.
Restarted (a new method for me in Linux) and I still have the not responding 
Firefox.

Used Konsole and got the following cryptic info.
 firefox
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: Symbol `SSL_ImplementedCiphers' has different

Next would be considering re-linking if I would know what is meant by it.

[opensuse] GRUB bootable cd with network support

2006-12-20 Thread Marius Roets

Hi everybody,
I need to create a grub bootable cd with network support. I have so
far used a combination of
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html (the Grub manual,
specifically 
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD_002dROM)
and http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Booting_from_the_Network_with_GRUB (an
opensuse wiki explaining exactly what I want to do, with the only
difference that I want to create a cd, and not a floppy).

No matter what I do though, I can't seem to get network support. When
I try to use Grub commands like ifconfig and dhcp, I get a Error
27: Unrecognized command error.

Any ideas what I could be missing?

Thanks
Marius

Sorry to confuse the issue, it was an honest typo.  I was typing it from
memory at the end of a long day (that just became a bit longer). 
Anyway, thanks Leendert for catching my mistake before it really muddled
the problem too bad.  I tried here at home on 10.2 to start squid to see
if the cache was the reason the 10.2 at work connected (or maybe because
the cache is on a 9.3 server).  Even running through Squid here at home,
it doesn't work.  So it isn't just a proxy.  But, I found this
interesting info from squid in the log.
Dec 20 21:41:58 jmorris squid[12862]: WARNING: Closing client
192.168.10.1 connection due to lifetime timeout

I am not sure what that means exactly, but it still doesn't work here,
even with a proxy.  So at work it must have been because the server is
still running 9.3.

Joe,

if I understood you right, you installed squid on a 10.2 box? Then I'm
not surprised that it's not working, as it does not matter with what
program you try to reach the site (you can even try simple telnet on
port 80).

I assume that the tcp stack was slightly modified in kernel 2.6.17
versions... that's why this problem comes up...

ANYBODY knows something about that server? What is it running? What OS?
What Kernel? What apache? Special modules and FW?

Re: [opensuse] passwords

2006-12-20 Thread George Stoianov

  I live in a house by myself.  Nobody else ever uses my computer.  I
  really hate it when some program tells me I need an 8-character
  password.


Please note, that it is not only people with physical access that you
need to keep out. Do you use the internet, you should you just send us
an email than you weak password can let someone on the internet in
your computer. If you are not afraid of someone crashing your machine
or stealing information from it then consider the fact that it may be
used for a purpose you do not agree with or even thought possible.

Do not get me wrong I have to remember a bunch of passwords myself,
and it is not pleasant, but you can use the KDE  wallet or if you feel
comfortable OpenSSH or GPG some sort of encrypted file would be good
too.

While that's easy enough to do on a home system, if you're running a

Why not just have a check box for such an option?


With 10.2, you can change it under Expert Options, Default for new
users.  I don't remember if that was there before or not.

  


You can change the umask for new users, but not give them their own

This error message is probably caused by wrong (i.e., non-Unix) line 
ends. Can you check that each line is only terminated by LF (\n, 
0x0a) and does not have DOS style (CR-LR, \r\n, 0x0d0a).


E.g., type

head -1 your_script | od -t x1

and see if there is 0d 0a at the end, or only 0a. The former is 
wrong and the latter right.


If it's just 0a, we need to check further what your problem might 
be, you need to post your script then and describe exactly how you 
call it.


I assume this problem cause because the ' at the beginning of the 
error message line should actually be at the end of the error 
message; so there must be something that moves it to the start, and 
a CR is the most likely candidate. That may happen when you 
copypaste from some mail client.


Btw, if you write a script for these commands, remember that the 1st 
line should be #!/bin/sh .

  Findutils are great, of course, and I use find, xargs and locate

  findutils-locate). But those tools are not a replacement for beagle

 YEP!  As follows

 locate something losely what your looking for |  grep something more
 specific

Still, that only finds plain text. If there are multi-byte characters, 
they won't be found. Have you ever looked at a PDF file? There's a 
great deal of mark-up (not HTML/XML/SGML-style, but mark-up 
nonetheless) that interrupts the logical character sequence, and grep 
and relatives are very likely to miss seeing text that's there. 
PostScript files likewise. I don't know what OpenOffice and MS 
word-processing and other proprietary documents look like, but most 
such formats require the interleaving of formatting information in ways 
that tends to interfere with plain-text search tools.

Diss Beagle all you like (there are alternatives, you know), but plain 
text tools are very limited in searching for content on a modern 
computing system.

Hi Everybody,

I'm working on a website update on my SUSE box and can't seem to see what my

 ?php 
 $ua_ok= $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
 if( eregi( Mac_PowerPC, $ua_ok )

 eregi( [5]\.[2][0-9], $ua_ok ) ) {

 href=styles/mac-ie52styles.css media=screen /' ); }
 ?

In this e-mail, for the first time, I'm seeing a rectangle immediately after 
the final semicolon.

I don't.

The php snippet doesn't work. It instead produces this 
string [' ); } ?] (between the brackets) at the top-most margin of the page.

Giving this much spacing makes it look like you wrote a UTF-16 mail and you are
not interpreting it back correctly.


Am I dealing with a character set issue? My box is all UTF-8 *except* for the 
FAT32 partition that gets shared with XP.

... which uses UTF-16 internally, and hence has usually no problems.

This snippet was downloaded to and 
'lives' on that partition.

Any help figuring this out will be gratefully appreciated.

  Has anyone checked Evolution in 10.2 to see if it now includes the
patch to delete mail from the server after x number of days?  (Patch was

Re: [opensuse] Computer Halted, Need Help with /var/log/messages (long lines)

 I'm wondering if my zip drive (/dev/hdd4) caused the problems.

Well it's got to do with the filesystem, which hung. Since fs is a big factor,
it may appear as if it was a system-wide hang, though that would be when the
mouse stops to move and hitting enter does not even offset the cursor.

écrit :
 To all the folks who write code for Linux:
 
 I live in a 
house by myself.  Nobody else ever uses my computer.  I really 
 hate 
it when some program tells me I need an 8-character  password.  I 
would 
 be just as happy to bypass the password stuff altogether, but 
I have a simple 
 password that I want to use on everything.  It has 5 
characters, and I can 
 remember it.  Please keep people like me in 
mind.  Thank you.
 
 --doug

the passwd problem is quite irritating. 
I have a full folder 
(paper) with passwd. some Internet sites don't 
accept pass 
longuer than 5 chars, others insists to have 8+ and 
numbers 
as well as chars...

and anyway as soon as a passwd is too 
complicated, one need 
to write it down to remember.

better have a 
silicon chip into the head

Finding an empty seat is not a problem, it's remembering which one I was

They have different names now, but still understand
MTU=1000
or similar entries.

Try setting it in YaST and then figure out which files changed.

[opensuse] SpamAssassin test question

2006-12-20 Thread James Hatridge
Hi all...

When I add a customised score to my spam assassin user prefs file why does it 
ignore it and give only 1-2% of what I ordered? 

score HELO_DYNAMIC_IPADDR2  125.00

For example, above was a line I added but SpamAssassin only added 0.6% to the 
spam. 

Thanks,

JIM
