Re: [opensuse] Question on building glibc
Dear Andreas, dear listmembers, I found the reason for the failure - without the ability to explain. For the building process I was using a special rpmrc without the -g option because this is needed IMHO for building the kernel based on the suse packaging concept. This missing -g screwed things up for glibc. If I leave -g in all tests (besides the floating point issue) pass smoothly, the tst-signal1 as well. If someone has an explanation, I'd be more than happy to understand :-) By the way: upgrading is not fun. New releases come with new bugs - I cannot cope with bug hunting on my main system, I needed a compiler that works better than the one I had had before. Everything beyond that like making linux-2.6.11 compile and run with gcc 4.1.2 is work, but can be decouplded from the system operation. As long as programs get shipped without having ever been run only once (10.2: xcdroast is a mess; texmacs was a mess ...) the degree of fun with upgrades is very limited.

Lastly, don't use an exit for early return in a shell procedure. It

So it's just an accident that the following aliases all work as I
want/expect? alias ll='ls -l $*'
alias rpmqa='rpm -qa | grep $*'
alias test='echo $*'
alias vol='tune2fs -l $1'
In all cases, your $1 or $* are at the end, so yes, it is just a
coincidence. (And that's the reason your Vol alias didn't work—you used
the positional parameter in the middle, and that's why it didn't do
what you expected.)
It's uncommon for interactive shells to have any positional parameters
(they're usually invoked with options only), so those references to
positional parameters end up doing nothing. But if your interactive
shell had positional parameters (either from its invocation, however
unlikely that is, or through use of the set built-in), you would have
seen them (or the first of them) being passed to the various commands
ahead of the arguments you gave when invoking those aliases.
they do in the Csh family, if I recall correctly). They simply
expanded verbatim in front of any arguments you give, so if you
invoke it with /dev/hda7 as an argument, it's like running this
command:
% tune2fs -l $1 | grep volume /dev/hda7
It's still clear as mud how don't take positional parameters
translates into moving /dev/hda7 to the end of the whole string.
What you're doing is tryting to run grep on /dev/hda7. Let's hope
you don't have read access!
I see what you wrote, but don't understand how /dev/hda7 shows up at
the end of everything.
Because the when the command is an alias, the alias is expanded
literally—without any alteration—in place of the alias name. Once
that's done, interpretation of the command line continues as with other
command, with any arguments you may have supplied implicitly ending up
after all the contents of the alias definition.
causes a usage message when 'Vol /dev/hda7' is run. Can anyone
explain what I'm doing wrong, or provide a better method to
discover a volume label? --
Unlike the very limited capabilities of aliases, shell procedures
are just like separate scripts, except no file need be loaded to
invoke them. You can get the effect I think you want with this:
Vol() {
tune2fs -l $1 |grep volume
}
I made a script with nothing but that in it, but it returns nothing.
That syntax _defines_ a shell procedure but does not invoke it. If you
just put it in a script and invoke the script, it's rather like a
script that just sets variables. The variables get set then the shell
interpreting the script exits and nothing of consequence happens.
If you want to use this as a plain script, make a file containing this:
-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
#!/bin/bash --norc
tune2fs -l $1 |grep volume
-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
Alternately (and I show this just for pedagogical reasons), you could
take the non-functioning script you created:
-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
Vol() {
tune2fs -l $1 |grep volume
}
-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
and modify it thusly (the #! line with the --norc option is always a
good idea):
-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
#!/bin/bash --norc
Vol() {
tune2fs -l $1 |grep volume
}
Vol $1
-==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
You'll get the same effect as the first script I showed above
...
Other than the quotes, I don't see the difference between the content
of your sample script, and putting essentially the same thing into
.bashrc, which is where all my aliases live, and why I use aliases
instead of simple scripts (easier to copy one file to new username on
new installation).
If you put it in .bashrc (in the form I originally showed), every shell
you launch will have a command (in the form of a shell procedure)
called Vol available and no path searching or file loading will have
to take place in order to run it when it's mentioned in a script or
interactive session.
If you create a (proper form of) the script somewhere in your PATH, then
it will be executed as any other script (via path searching and by
asking the kernel to execute that script).
Lastly, don't use an exit for early return in a shell procedure.
It will apply to the shell that invoked it. There's a return
keyword that works the same as exit and causes just the shell
procedure to terminate before reaching its last statement, not the
whole shell.
I appreciate the reply, but I'm not sure I understand any more now
than I did before starting the thread. :-(
How about now?
How much do I have to help you before you'll stop proselytizing here?

[opensuse] DNS Error Log - Solved
If you run a DNS server on your system you probably have been plagued with
external sites trying to forward queries through your DNS server. Even though
you probably have told your named.conf to allow-query {localnets;}; or a list
of valid IP's you probably still have a bunch of unnecessary probing that adds
to your bandwidth consumption even if you reject the queries and send 'refused'
packets back, it ties up your line. I got tired of literally hundreds,
sometimes thoussands of such queries which I considered a form of attack and
thought that fail2ban could be a solution.
I know about as much about writing filters as I do about the differance between
my posterior and a hole in the ground, but a fellow fail2ban list member took
pity on me and in private E-mail, helped me develop a filter we call
'named-refused'. On 7/24 I installed it into fail2ban and started testing it.
The results are in the log summary below. You will notice on the 24th, the
filter 'named-refused was innvoked a lot and by the next day, it was back to
the normal fighting off the sshd worm, and even that has gone way down since
fail2ban was installed. I didn't post my entire log, but it is just as
impressive to note that as of the 24th, fail2ban as reduced my DNS attack
bandwidth to zero because whoever those badguys are have apparantly decided
that
because I no longer appear to exist that it isn't worth wasting their time
trying anymore. As long as I responded to all of their attempts, even though
they got 'refused' each time, they kept trying. Yay fail2ban and thank you
Cyril (the author) for a fine product and our fellow list member for your
patience and time.
The log below shows how effective it can be. BTW, the exerpt from /messages
was
extracted BEFORE fail2ban was turned on with the new filter :)Because it
is
so effective and because a lot of SUSE users do use SSHd and DNS and experience
worms and attacks, I want to document the effectiveness of fail2ban in solving
the problem we face when we run those server/demons. I, for one, have my
machine back!
I run SUSE 10.2 and 10.3a6 and I am more than willing to zip up my
/etc/fail2ban
local files which should work with little or no modification on other distros.
The gentleman that assisted me with the filter runs Debian and said he will
submit a patch for Debian to Cyril (the Author of Fail2ban) to consider for
distribution.
BTW, the report below can be produced by:
grep Ban /var/log/fail2ban.log | awk '{print $1,$5,$7}' | sort |uniq -c
assuming your log file is in that directory with that name. Substitute your
log file name if you don't use that name.

This is an exerpt from /var/log/messages It shows literally thousands of

So, can you help with example XML code ? Sure. You will see, it's pretty easy after you get the idea behind. For example, you want to link from a paragraph to a chapter. These are the steps that you need: 1. Determine the ID value of the chapter that you want to link to. You can also link to sections, figures, tables, appendices, etc. the method is the same. It should look like this: chapter id=chap.foo !-- _ Your ID value -- titleSomething about Foo/title ... 2. If you do not find an ID value, define your own ID value. Insert an attribute id with your ID value in the respective element. The ID value should be legible so that any writer have at least some idea what is this chapter about. :) Look for other examples. Be careful, the definied ID value must be unique (appears only once in the whole document), otherwise you get validation errors. 3. Go back to your paragraph and insert a xref element. This is the cross reference to your ID and looks like this: para... See xref linkend=chap.foo/ for more information ... /para You can insert as many xrefs to your chapter as you like. That's all! The stylesheets take care of how the xref appears in your text. Usually you get something like this: See Chapter 1, »Something about Foo« for more information. Does it help?
