RE: expn and vrfy

[Adrian Walters]

i had the same problem...
apparently sendmail is case sensative. try using this instead:
define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS', `authwarnings,noexpn,novrfy')

then
m4 /etc/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart


that should do it.

any ps2html or pdf2html?

[Hossein S. Zadeh]

Hi there,
I've got a few LaTeX files I'd like to convert to html. Have tried "l2h"
and "latex2html" packages, but they are very limited (figures, equations,
etc. are not handled at all).

I wonder if there is any ps2html or pdf2html converter out there

Re: ttloop: peer died:

[Frederic Herman]

He may have broken in, then covered his tracks.  In that case, he
probably now have a backdoor into your machine.  If your telnet is
changed, which is likely in a break in, that might explain your
inability to telnet.  You should really determine if this is the case. 
Check to see if you have locked yourself out by examining the
/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files, assuming you aren't set up
with a firewall.

Edit your /etc/inetd.conf file to disable any service you don't actually
need.  You need auth, and it sounds like you want telnet.  Comment out
any line you don't have to have enabled.  I think you can use linuxconf
to turn off what you don't need.

I would also recommend installing tripwire to detect changed files for
the future and portsentry to detect and block port scanners.

Good luck,

Fred

Re: [OffTopic] egrepping a text file

[Bruce A. Mallett]

Why would you use "-w"?

Anyway, try ...
egrep '^8[^0-9] /proc/cyclades

The first "^" says to root at the start of the line
The 8 says to look for 8
The [] says to examine only these characters (those between brackets).
The second ^ says to accept anything that does not match whats between
brackets
The 0-9 specifies the character range.

If you know that the line is always the nth line (like in this case the 9th
line) it is much
more efficient to do something like:
  awk ' if ( NR > LINENO ) exit; if ( NR == LINENO ) print $0 }' LINENO=9

Re: [OffTopic] egrepping a text file

[Carl Karsten]

I am assuming you just want the lines that begin with 8.

grep "^8 " /proc/whatever

The ^ represents the beginning of the line.  FYI, $ is the end of the line.
these are both part of the "regular expression" syntax.

This may not be the best solution, but try:

cat /proc/cyclades | egrep -w "8" | head -n 1 -

cat /proc/cyclades | egrep -w "^8"

Will grab any line that STARTS with an 8.  If there is a space after the
8, you can then use "^8 " to keep line 88 or 888, etc. from being found.

If you want the line starting with 8, use "^8" (^ anchors it and I
mean the literal ^, not ctrl).

The other option would be cat | head -9 | tail -1

Cat, get the first 9 lines, then get the last one.  Ugly, but
workable.

Re: Oracle 8i

[Adam Getchell]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Marketing aside, there are a fair number of significant differences between
Oracle 8.0.5 and 8.1.5 (8i). And, BTW, 8.1.6 is being released for HP-UX,
Solaris, and Tru64, and is in development on other platforms (Linux, NT).

- From the docs (I have an 8i box in my office):

*   IFS (Internet File System) for easy management of files on 8i
*   WebDB, which builds HTML from Oracle queries and tablespaces
*   Enhancements to OLTP
*   Integrated JVM
*   Hash and partitioning methods added to control user processing resources
*   Cache fusion and other enhancements to Oracle Parallel Server for running
distributed databases
*   Replication manager enhancements and platform independence (written in Java)
*   Intermedia improvements for visual information, time series, and spatial
database options (e.g., 2 GB LOB, GLOB, BLOB, and CLOB fields now supported)
*   Oracle Call Interface improvements to developer languages (PL/SQL, C++, COBOL,
Java)
*   Security Enhancements,

and my favorite
*   Oracle Enterprise Manager, which basically allows one to manage an Oracle
Database anywhere in the world.

The ftp in linux should do it ok.  One possible method to ftp

[OffTopic] egrepping a text file

[Robert Canary]

Hi,

This is really a silly question, but ...

I need to extract a single line from a /proc file.  The lines are sorted
by the first column, which are always 0,1,2,3,4,...,60,61,62,63,64.   I
treid doing something like:
cat /proc/cyclades | egrep -w "8" but it returns *every* line with an
8.  How can I do this without going through a loop?

Thanks in advance ;-)

"route" by default tries to map IP addresses to hostnames.  the way you
have it set up, something in your host table can't be resolved by either
/etc/hosts or DNS.  "route -n" tells route not to resolve addresses to
names.  "-n" simply means generate numeric output only.

similarly, "netstat -r" should also hang, and "netstat -nr" should work,
for exactly the same reason.

and while we're on the subject, "ping" versus "ping -n".  same deal.

I have eth0 configured but when I type in
'route' it just sits there, however when

back.

At present I am configured with the following :

I can ping the Gateway no problem.

They're also handy for troubleshooting mail delivery problems, for example
they will let you verify (vrfy) whether an email address is valid or not,
and expand (expn) an alias.

Telnet to your own port 25.  You might be surprised how user-friendly smtp
servers are, considering what they're intended for. :-)

Try typing things like:

expn root
vrfy root
expn yourownusername
vrfy yourownusername
expn bogususername
vrfy bogususername
expn something-list

Do this on your own machine, or a machine run by someone who knows you
well, lest your learning experience be mistaken for a pre-attack
surveillance exercise. :-)

Expanding a majordomo list won't give you the names of the subscribers (at
least not on my machine, maybe it depends on configuration), but if you
set up a simple list with your /etc/aliases file you will see the
addresses on that list.

[If you want to know who is on a list, try sending "who something-list" to
the majordomo address.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.]

Back in the early days of spam hunting, expn/vrfy was a somewhat useful
way to determine whether or not an address was real or bogus, sometimes
you'd find that a spammer had set up a temporary address that forwarded to
their "real" account, stuff like that.  They can reveal more than you'd
want an outsider to know though, so more and more servers are disabling
them.  I kinda miss it sometimes. :-)

updating with rpm

[Nate Waddoups]

To date I've always downloaded and built tar/tgz distributions, but I'm
trying to get on the rpm bandwagon... I seem to be doing something wrong
though.  I tried:

rpm -v --freshen ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.1/i386/sysklogd-1.3.31-14.i386.rpm

...but "syslogd -v" reports "syslogd 1.3-3" and my /sbin/syslogd has a
timestamp that's a couple months old (around the time of the install, I
think).

Anyone want to venture a guess as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

Re: Disk Druid Install Problems

[Dave Reed]

The 1024 cylinder is not around 1.4GB on most drives - it's closer to
8GB and only the /boot partition has to be completely below the 1024
cylinder - the rest of the system can be anywhere on the disk.  The
reason for the 1024 cylinder limit for /boot is that most BIOS can't
load anything above that so the /boot partition containing the kernel
has to be below 1024.

As to the original question - this could be the reason since hda2 is at
least partially above the 1024 cylinder.

OT: POS Software for Linux

[David]

Hello All;

Sorry for the OT here...

I'm setting up an Internet Cafe here in Toronto, and have been looking
around for
user login Management Software that works on Linux.

I'm going to be having both MS and Linux machines for surfing, but as
yet, have not
found any software that either, works with Linux for card swipers, or,
that will work 
with any MS management software.

If anyone has any info or sites i can look at for such software, we
would be gratefull...

Please email me direct, so as not to clog the list with OT matter :)

Thank You

sndconfig: device busy?

[Zaigui Wang]

I got a device busy error when I tried to configure the sound using
sndconfig. What is happening? How do I make it (sound.o) idle? 

I remember that "sound" used to be an option in "ntsysv", but it is not
there any more since I replaced my 5.1 with 6.1. (6.1 looks great!)

Re: R: Li...... FIXED

Okay, I decided to re-install RedHat. This time, I decided not to create a bootdisk 
when prompted. When it was all finished I rebooted, and it started fine. No LI 
scrolling. What happened? When I created a bootdisk, it wouldn't boot normal, when I 
didn't create one (during installation) it booted fine.
Any comments?

Redhat made a mistake when they built the man pages for rec.1

Do (as root):

rm /usr/man/man1/rec.1
ln -s /usr/man/man1/play.1 /usr/man/man1/rec.1

and all is well.

Re: question about possible hacker

[Frederic Herman]

The hacker wanted to exploit the bind security hole.  See the CERT info
at:
http://www.cert.org/current/current_activity.html#bind

This exploit is being used to break into linux boxes.  I had one cracked
last week.  That taught me to keep the patches current.  Make sure you
have the latest bind patches:

http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh61-errata-security.html
for RH6.1

As for the auth probe, I know that's one of the ports that get probed,
but I don't know the rational behind it.  I also would suggest
installing tripwire because it will tell you what files got changed if
you do get cracked, that is, if the cracker doesn't find the database
file.

makewhatis error

[Gustav Schaffter]

Hi,

In my cron.weekly, there is a script file named makewhatis.cron. Every
week I get a mail from cron, because the makewhatis produces output.

So, I tried to execute the command manually, as root.

The command 'makewhatis -w' gives the output:
Read file error: ./rec.1 No such file or directory

I tried 'man makewhatis' but there are no manual entries for makewhatis.

Can someone enlighten me as to what 'makewhatis' is?

Second, does anyone understand the error message?

Best regards
Gustav

VAX is not an operating system or piece of software... it is
a hardware architecture comparable to the Intel x86
architecture. The vax computers, developed by Digital
Equipment Corporation (DEC), natively ran VMS. There were
also several Unix flavors, mainly BSD and Ultrix that ran on
them also.

need help (VAX)

[Jefferson]

Hi, 
It is not appropriate for me to ask questions 
unrelated to linux in this list but I will take this opportunity to ask 
questions knowing one of you maybe familiar with VAX.

Can you help me find resources regarding the ff. 
concepts implemented in VAX?

    Memory management
    File handling
    Process scheduling
    Networking
    Security

Please excuse me for my ignorance. Is VAX like 
UNIX? Maybe you could give me some introductions regarding VAX. Any help is 
highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Problem printing PS files.

[Manuel Camacho]

Dear friends:

I just connected my HP LaserJet Series II to my RH 6.0 box.

I configured the printer using printtool. Now, here's the problem:

When I print an ASCII text page, it works great.

When I print the PS test page, I get the page splittled in three thirds, one on
a different page.

Can this be solved?

TIA,

-Manuel.

RE: RH6.1 Standard or Deluxe?

[Greg W]

Frank

I am not trying to be cruel, maybe I am even being kind, as its gone on too
long.

There is no "best" , it is simply what you are comfortable with,
overwhelmingly the answer from the RH list will be use Redhat, from the
Caldera list it will be Caldera, I suspect you know this, if not, consider
yourself told !

I am really saddened if you have a real and serious medical problem, that I
would not wish on anyone.

The state of change and possible confusion will always be there as Linux
really is a moving target, I am sure no one will mind helping you if you
decide to use and stick with Redhat, but it really is decision time,
otherwise you run the risk of getting no help. I really hope you are able
to make a decision soon.

PS I am not trying to offend you, although I realise it may be hard not to
be defensive with the way I wrote, but I am not sure how else to let you
know. I did not need to add the brake thing, and I apologise if you do have
a known condition. The part where you say Caldera you heard was more stable
got me because I know from Calderas list that you run thier product (or so
your emails indicate) , lets take it off the list if I have not explained
enough above.  Ok ?

Disk Druid Install Problems

[John S. Muller]

Hi,

I have the following partitions:

hda18g  Windoze 98
hda21g  Linux (slackware)
hda31g  Linux (slackware)
hda44g  BeOS

I am trying to install the redhat distribution to hda2, but disk druid
will not let me proceede.

The next button is greyed out.  Even if I set the mount point to / for
hda2.

Any ideas?

thanks

Re: Re: Athlon processor

[lloy0076]

There is a patch to fix the problem with Windows 95 OSR 2.xx series. It
can be found from the AMD web site (http://www.amd.com). Most of the
time you can get 95 stable enough to run it...the trick is to actually
get it to go into safe mode. Easiest way to do that is to actually
switch the power off whilst Windows is loading.

Naughty but it's effective.

RE: RH6.1 Standard or Deluxe?

Greg,

I'm not trying to get you or anyone.

As I stated before, I have a slight OCD problem which causes me to be
indecisive at times. I see no need to be cruel.
I really wanted to know why experienced Linux users choose RH over others so
I could make an informed decision. That's all.

I have have hinted you on 2 lists that asking these questions are not

Inverted rc.local ?

[Gustav Schaffter]

Hi,

In my rc.local I start two instances of setiathome.

When I do a shutdown, I'd like those two processes to be automatically
killed *before* the shutdown sequence starts. (I'd also like to execute
a quick non related 'cleanup' sequence.)

Is there any rc file where I could store some  kill `pidof setiathome`
commands? A file where I could store any commands that should be
executed first, in a shutdown situation? Some kind of logically
'inverted rc.local'?

Regards
Gustav

You'll probably want to have a look at perl-ASP (probably somewhere in
