Making a user called "rpm" and setting up rpm to build packages as that user, is much safer, ESPECIALLY when constructing and debugging your own packages. So, yes. Security, and safety. _Even_ if you trust the sources. It is easy to make a mistake in a spec file and kiss everything goodbye. When building as a regular user, how do you get the packages to install files owned by root? Simple, use %defattr() When I first started building packages I did it as root, then I found out that if I "chown ivanj: -R /usr/src/redhat" I could build as ivanj without any problems (AFAIK), until one day someone else installed one of my packages. Then I noticed that the files it was installing were owned by ivanj. (they didn't have a user ivanj, so it said "ivanj: no such user", or something like that) Then I started building as root again. Do _NOT_ set the file permissions and ownership in %install or any other previous sections. Set ALL permissions and ownership in the %files section using the %defattr and %attr macros instead. This causes the permissions to occur during packaging time, ready for install time. Doing it in %install requires root privs and is a bad way to make spec files. The only major downside is that in some spec's where you would do: %install make install And let the make target install all files and possibly set permissions, etc.. or use the "install" command to install files and set owner/perms, etc.. You must now manually put your own install section, or make a diff to the makefile that doesn't set perms, ownership... It makes for a more secure build environment though. Is this solved in newer versions of rpm, or should I give rpm some other parameters? (other than "-bb package") Just use the macros described above. TTYL -- Mike A.

If this is a repeat question, I apologize...I just joined the list. Yes, it was just discussed. Just read the list archives to get the details.. How do you setup rpm to do this (build packages as a non-root user)? Is this documented anywhere? What directory structure do you use? What permissions and groups should user "rpm" have and belong to? Just create a copy of the dir structure under /usr/src/redhat/* in /home/rpm/ after creating the RPM user. I made an rpm user with group rpm and duplicated the /usr/src/redhat/* dir structure under /home/rpm/rpmroot, then made a .rpmrc and .rpmmacros files to point all variables to the new dirs as described in the previous threads. Assuming that I log in as "rpm" (can I do this in an X terminal window? how? login rpm?), then I just cd to the build directory structure and run rpm on the rpm file wherever it is? You log in as rpm, and type "rpm --rebuild package.src.rpm" or whatever you'd normally do. Would this also allow me to build a kernel or other system executables? If the src.rpm packages are created cleanly enough yes. Think about it... What magical special root-only capability is required to compile software and package it? None. The only possible problem is if a make target uses chown/chgrp or other root-only commands, etc.. In this case, the package is poorly designed IMHO. Any perm/ownership changing should be set in the .spec file using %defattr, and friends. TTYL -- Mike A.

The Linux process table can only hold 512 simultaneous processes. If you fill that up, you'll see the above message likely during the next fork()/exec(). You may also see some daemon's die, etc.. It is also possible to see that message when running out of virtual memory I believe. The solution for the first problem is to either not have that many processes running on your system either by limiting what is spawning that many processes, or by possibly reworking the code that is doing so so it isn't so process intensive. Another solution is to increase the size of the process table by modifying the NR_TASKS define in the kernel source and recompiling. Change it to 1024 or 2048 or so. Do not go nuts with it though or you'll cause problems I believe. I think somewhere around 4000 is the absolute max on x86..

Netgear FA311
Hey crew, I have a question for everyone. I have a customer that is trying to use the fa311 card. It has a special driver and I downloaded it from Netgear. The problem is that when I try to compile the file with the Makefile that is included, it fails due to dependencies. I am running RH6.2 and kernel 2.2.16-3. I will also be changing to kernel back to 2.2.16 with the Hedrick IDE patches because the customer will be using the Promise Card. Any ideas how to get it to compile against these two kernels?

I *assumed* you were running a publicly accessible network and just wanted to move web hosting to a different machine. Since you're masqueraded, we need some more info, such as how you're connecting to the 'Net in general and what kind of hardware you use. For example, I'm using a Netger RT328 ISDN router. In that router, I can specify a specific IP for forwarding on certain ports. As an example, I have three machines on my local network. Two windows boxes and my main machine, a linux box. I have the ssh port forwarded to the linux box. That's the only port forwarding I have set up there. It's possible that whatever you're using to connect to the 'Net will have something along those lines. (In the Netgear it's called SUA Server setup.) Otherwise, you'll probably have to configure and set up a DNS server for your private network and create a DNS entry in the named / bind configs.

re-partitioning
Hi folks, I know that we have beat this topic up for a while. I just want to clarify an issue. I've just gotten a new HDD and want to take my RH 6.2 installation and tar the partitions onto the new drive (easy) delete existing partitions from old drive, (also easy) * re-partition old drive * replace the files onto the new partitions. While I am thinking this through, it occurred to me that once I delete the existing partitions I won't have tar or fdisk available anymore to work with. I've created a boot disk (mkbootdisk) and verified that it will boot the system. Will cp'ing the files "tar" and "fdisk" to the bootdisk be enough to do the work, or do I need some libraries as well? Any other files that I might be missing?

If I understand correctly...You are trying to mount a share from the Win98 box onto the Linux box?

nsf and sub mounted partitions
Here's one to keep in mind. I ran into this today and it took me about an hour to figure out what was happening, I still can't figure out what to do. Maybe the discussion this is old hat to you more experienced admins out there but I thought I would put out to the list just in case. symptom: from my laptop on the office network, I copied a directory to a directory way down the tree on an nfs mounted partition, /pub. the directory was /pub/SoftWare/linux_software/redhat_addons /pub is mounted on the server and exported as /pub I logged in to the server and went ot look for the directory and it was not there. su -. still not there. Hmmm. I had copied the directory from a tar file using gmc and thought, "This must be some gmc virtual filesystem smoke and mirrors." Wrong. I copied it again after extracting it and using cp. Still not found by root on the server. NT machine via samba could not see it either. Checked all the exports and mounts to make sure something weird like being on the wrong box similar but different directories etc. No joy. Long story shorter, I recently ran out of space on the /pub directory and mounted a new 5GB partition as /pub/SoftWare. When I created the new partition I copied the files to the old and evidently left a bunch of stuff there. I then mounted the new partition as /pubSoftWare. The nfs mount is not allowing me to see anything in the other partition, just what is there in the same partition. I thought I remembered reading a while back that htere is an option to the exports file that will allow an nfs mount to use the partions that my be mouted under it but I cannot find it. Any Ideas? It does not seem too flexible to make me export and mount each partition under the exported one. What is the best way to set this up?

ssh key fingerprint
Hi, I'm an old pgp user, so my concepts and vocabulary *might* be a little out of style for ssh. If so, please correct me. I have (open) sshd installed and configured on a server. I have the (open) ssh client on another PC. During the sshd installation, private and public keys for RSA and DSA were both generated. During this key generation, the fingerprints for the public keys were printed to stdout. I took a pen and scribbled them down. When I try to connect to the server from a remote PC using the ssh client, the client tells me something like: Unknown host, this is the public key fingerprint, do you want to accept? It then prints out the fingerprint of the public host key it has received, for me to decide upon. Since I could verify the fingerprint against my notes, I had no problem to accept the public key. Now, assume that the client PC is remote. Not run by me at all. The user on that computer might want to verify the fingerprint before trusting that he's actually talking to my server and not to a 'man in the middle'. So he calls me on the phone (I know the guy and he knows me) and he asks me: "What's your public key fingerprint?" In my case I have it, since I wrote it down. But assume I didn't. Question: How can I, on the sshd server computer extract this fingerprint from a public key so that I can read it up to my friend over the telephone and he can know for sure that he's connecting to my computer?

Re: LILO beyond 1024
Very good, you simply need one that's 0.21.4.2 OR HIGHER. Knowing that you can now go look for an RPM for it @ www.rpmfind.net (can be a higher number, but not lower). Try to get one that claims to be made for your distro.

Comanche?
I downloaded the linux package for Comanche from covalent.net and have just realized that it is not a neat rpm package likle those that came on the CD. How do I install this tar gz file on my RH 6.2 box? And then how is it started? Does it load when httpd is started? There are instructions (sort of) on the comanche site, but I'm sure it assumes the user knows a heck of a lot more than I know.

Re: How many IP's can 1 NIC card have?
I read the IP-Aliases howto. It said the 2.0.x kernel support 256 aliases on 1 nic. 2.2.x/2.4.x should be the same or even more. -eric wood - Original Message - From: "Nitebirdz" [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 31 Aug 2000, Eric Wood wrote: I have assigned several ip address to my eth0 device. What is the maximum number of IP's can I assign to this NIC? Also, is there a config in Apache that redirects a user to another IP address with having to serve a web page to redirect them? I may be totally wrong, but I think I read recently in this very same list that the amount is actually in the hundreds.

Re: re-partitioning (more info)
You'd need static versions of those utilities. Libraries are too big for bootdisks. You can prolly manage to get the source and compile your own static copies :) On Thu, 31 Aug 2000, M. Neidorff wrote: Hi folks, While I am thinking this through, it occurred to me that once I delete the existing partitions I won't have tar or fdisk available anymore to work with. I've created a boot disk (mkbootdisk) and verified that it will boot the system. Will cp'ing the files "tar" and "fdisk" to the bootdisk be enough to do the work, or do I need some libraries as well? Any other files that I might be missing? I just thought of the files to make the ext2 file system also. Anything else?
