Delaying eth0
When I try to activate eth0 using linuxconf, netcfg, netconf, or ifup in RedHat 6.1, I get a message: "Delaying eth0 Initalization". For some reason, linuxconf and netcfg think eth0 is configured, but ifconfig -a doesn't list it. What is also strange is that it worked fine, I configured ppp, brought up ppp1, and browsed Yahoo on the computer. Then I telneted in via eth0 to the machine, piped X and started netscape on AltaVista. Everything worked fine. I disconnected from ppp1 and shut down. Next time I boot, I have the above mentioned problem. If anybody can help, please do, as I have trying to get both to work since Dec. Regards, JES
Announcing Red Hat Linux Pinstripe - a Beta release
Announcing... Red Hat Linux "Pinstripe" a Beta release Red Hat. Inc. presents a beta release of Red Hat Linux for your hacking pleasure. First, the regular drill: This is a beta release of Red Hat Linux. It is not intended for mission critical applications. It's not even intended for non-mission critical applications. Important data should not be entrusted to Pinstripe, as it may eat it and make loud belching noises. Significant changes have been made since the last version of Red Hat Linux. We need your help to find and report bugs. Search for existing bug reports for problems you find by using bugzilla at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ Attach patches if you're motivated! This beta includes so much cutting edge software, the binary packages come on two iso images. The installation program now handles reading packages from multiple CDs. * Where can I get this release? Pinstripe can be downloaded from our public FTP site at: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/beta/pinstripe With the support of volunteers ftp site administrators, Pinstripe is available from several mirrors.

Re: bash programming..
Is there an easy way using bash INTERNALS to do the following:
Read in a file containing two numbers on one line separated by
space, and replace the whitespace between them with a ":"?
I'm trying to optimize some stuff in a script and trying to get
rid of awk/sed/perl calls that are unnecessary.
The input file contains:
2345 5678
I'd like something along the lines of:
DATA=${blahblash} /somefile
Where ${blahblash} is one of the confusing bash constructs called
parameter expansion or whatever..
I just don't grok the bash manpage and the usage of parameter
expansion.
What I'd like though is this one liner to transform stdin from:
2345 5678 into: 2345:5678
The amount of whitespace in between the two numbers in the input
file may vary. ie:
23455678
Any ideas? I'm using the following right now:
You can do it in bash-2. However, I really think sed will prove faster.
For advanced bashing, I recommend you get a fishy (looks to me like some kind
of perch) book from oreilly's.

I tried fiddling with tabs in the whitespace but couldn't figure it
out, so I don't know if that will work or not. If it's just spaces,
this might work for you.
The '%%' deletes everything that matches the pattern (in this case, a
space followed by anything) from the end of the variable's value.
The '##' does the opposite: deletes anything (followed by a space)
from the beginning of the variable's value.

Printer port locked
Just bought an Epson Stylus Color 860 bubblejet printer and attempted to set it up on my RH6.1/kernel 2.2.14 box. First of all, I tried the generic 800 series drivers in printtool and they worked fine for text but barfed on any postscript file. I then checked sourceforge for any updated drivers and lo and behold, there was one for the gimp-print module. So I installed that and Wham!, beautiful printing from the Gimp. Then I read the README in the Ghost directory in the print source and it gave instructions on how to get it into ghostscript. So after downloading the gs 6.01 source, adding the patches and moving the header files over as detailed in the readme, I gave the compile a spin. After several aborts due to either my spelling mistakes in the make files or just general weirdness (it did not like one of the Brother drivers so i just scrubbed that one), I finally had an stp driver compiled into my ghostscript. After changing my environment paths to match the newly installed gs6.01, I was set. Or so I thought.. Unfortunately, I could not get any postscript file to print from the command line using the new setup. Not sure what i botched but I will have to wait for a bit to figure it out. The reason being is that I have run into the age old RH problem of printtool not seeing any ports when trying to configure a printer so I can't even get back to the older ESC drivers. I thought Bill Nottingham fixed this way back in October. Does anyone know the "secret handshake" procedure for unlocking the ports so that printtool can see them? I have tried tunelp but to no avail. -- Jack Bowling Prince George, BC -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

You may need to specify the device parameters (IRQ, I/O port) in your conf.modules file. You can also build your kernel with lp support, but if you want to use some other device like a zip drive, then you must compile both as modules. Try and cat a text file directly to the port, then a simple script, etc. If it worked before, it ought to work again...

Re: Somebody's knocking...
Hi Thomas,
The first way to tell if you were compromised is if you can still log in.
Most root kits replace /bin/login. If for some reason your hacker did not,
you can also do a ls -alc /bin to see if any thing floats to the top. If
a root kit was installed the dates wont match and you will at least see ps
move to the top.
If all of your updates are done, they most likely didn't get in.
Have fun,

Re: Somebody's knocking...
The command to check /bin by modtime is: "ls -altc /bin"
The man page says you need the -t with -c if you want to see
things "float to the top" by ctime instead of by name.

Hi Thomas,
The first way to tell if you were compromised is if you can still log in.
Most root kits replace /bin/login. If for some reason your hacker did not,
you can also do a ls -alc /bin to see if any thing floats to the top. If
a root kit was installed the dates wont match and you will at least see ps
move to the top.
If all of your updates are done, they most likely didn't get in.
Have fun,

ssh hangs for several minutes
I have been experiencing intermittant problems with a vpn ppp connection through ssh. I can be working along (typing in a terminal) and then poof, no response for several minuites. during this time I can sometimes ping the box and others the delay is there as well. I can't figure out what is causing this. I don't know if the packets are getting dropped on the floor or what. I am dialing into mindspring via ppp with my linux laptop. Ifconfig shows no errors on any interface on either box, and nothing suspicious in the firewall logs except the modprobe entries below.

Thanks Go here: http://www.scyld.com/network/ (the new home of Donald Becker's drivers and stuff) and check out the diagnostic stuff. I don't think Donald wrote the eepro driver, but there's tons of good info there on 100Mbps ethernet, gigabit, troubleshooting, etc, on most ISA and PCI cards (and pcmcia too). There are updated drivers for many chipsets/cards, as well as linux diagnostic utilities. Not all drivers have been updated in all distributions, and none (that I know of) ship with these utilities. Many of them can even replace the DOS setup software. I just went through this with my (sort of) new Dell box at work. I wiped windoze and installed RH6.1 and soon discovered that my 3c905c (tornado) card was only giving me about 400k/sec connected to a 100Mbps switch. The switch is a cheap one, which may not auto-negotiate properly, but when I grabbed the diag utils from the above site, and forced the card to 100FDx, I finally got my 6M/sec throughput. Apparently the kernel version may affect this stuff too (depending on the particular driver in question). I'd stick with the latest stable kernel that works, but don't give up until you've tried this. Everyone with a NIC in their Linux box (or even thinking about it) should bookmark this site!

The first time you do a 'make config' (or whatever) it should have the same setup as the RH install kernel. If you use 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig' it will let you save the configuration to another file before you make any changes. Also, I usually put new kernels in /boot/test (and leave the original there) and make sure they work right before I make them the default.

Re: su and root not the same??
I didn't see anyone answer this, so I'll give it a stab. It protects you against trojans. The beauty of the unix security model is that a 'regular' user can't do much wrong to the system, only to themselves.

I would think that with all the known problems with running rm -rf from root that someone would get smart and find a way to disable its use from root. rm -r from root would accomplish the same but force the user to sit there and manually approve each deletion. Granted there are times when as a sys adm I use rm -rf, especially in deleting a user's file system when said individual is no longer active on the system.

I have a lexmark Z11 printer. It is not supported in redhat 6.2 I have been told (on another list) that there is "no way" it will ever work in linux.

I have never done this, but I want to try. My question, has anyone here done this? Does anyone know how to do this? Unless your xDSL and cable are of radically different speeds you probably just want to do equal cost multipath (non deterministic) routing. You get this by compiling your own kernel and (in addition to all other appropriate values to make your system work) you would say yes to CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER and CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH. The help text for these two options plus the man page for the route command should tell you everything else you want to know (this assumes kernel 2.2.16, it may be slightly different in other versions). Basically you just need to create two "default" routes, one for each device, and they'll both be used at once. Note: This is MUCH easier to do if you connect your xDSL and Cable to two different NICs (and then use a third for a firewalled/masq'd LAN). It can be done on a single NIC using virtual interfaces, but it's not pretty or efficient (except in terms of saving an IRQ). For more info on compiling your own kernel: install the kernel-headers and kernel-source RPM's. Read the Kernel-HOWTO.

Re: local address spoofing
Cable modems are a shared medium much like an Ethernet hub. Given the filtering you describe it seems likely that your attacker would have to be on the same shared segment as you. You could run a packet sniffer like tcpdump to try and obtain the MAC address of the hacker (assuming that hasn't been spoofed also).

Re: strip ^M from list of files in for loop
Hi Bret There is nothing strange about this at all. From your other posts (not necesarily this thread) I'll bet the input file was created/written to from one of your PCs via Samba, correct? Well, DOS uses \r\n as it's line termintor, unix uses \n, and mac uses \r. Unix utilities don't do anything automatically to modify these for you, so you have to do it yourself. Do a 'od -c file | less' on any text file to see what I mean. Try it on something you did from windows, And then something from unix (like /etc/hosts) ^M is just whatever tools you are using (like emacs) displays these sequence of characters. vi by default doesn't show them. hth charles On Mon, 31 Jul 2000, Bret Hughes wrote: Thanks to all who responded.

RHCE objectives and questions of RHCE's
I am preparing some Linux training for our programming staff who would like
to know about Linux but who work almost entirely with Windows right now. I
figure I'll stand on the shoulders of giants and follow the RHCE exam
objectives, edited for my company's context. Ok, so am I totally thick or
are the objectives of the RHCE exam not explicitly listed on-line?
Working on the assumption that they are basically the "what you will learn"
bullets from the courses, I have extracted a list of learning objectives and
ranked their importance to this position. I have these questions for anyone
familiar with the course or exam ("objectives" are marked with a plus sign):
+Configure inetd
+Configure basic host security
+Local security
What distinguishes these three items (or are they redundancies across RHCE
courses)?
+Red Hat Linux-based security tools (???)
Which are??? Does this mean stock tools (ipchains, tcp_wrappers, etc.) or
is there something else I'm missing?
+Overview of OSS security tools
Here's my list; am I missing any? How/why is this different from the "Red
Hat Linux-based security tools" objective?
portsentry, tripwire, libsafe, logwatch, ipchains, bastille Linux, ssh, scp
+Create and maintain (?) the Linux filesystem
Could anyone flesh out what 'maintain' means? Is this just running fsck
periodically? or more than that? It doesn't seem that I do much maintenance
so I'm probably ignorant of this aspect...
+Perform common file maintenance tasks
+Perform basic troubleshooting
+Kernel security
+Security sources and methods
+Control common system hardware
Does anyone care to flesh these out more? What tasks/concepts/commands am I
supposed to teach?
Thanks VERY MUCH!
