Of course it's required. "--" is a special marker in command options meaning "end of options".

Re: software raid
Jim Baxter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I have been told that very few people if any use software raid. >Do any of you use it? I use it, but only for filesystems like /home and /var as RAID-1 filesystems. I don't (and wouldn't) use it for any filesystem required at boot time. I use rsync and a simple bash script scheduled via cron to periodically synchronize a "cold" copy of the boot disk. In the event my primary boot disk failed, I can swap the disks and be on my way. I do have to keep lilo updated on both disks or boot from floppy if I need to spare disk, but you might have to do that anyway with a software root-RAID1 system, depending on which disk failed. I have my doubts about whether a software root-RAID1 setup would survive a disk failure or if it would need to be rebooted. My *theory* is it would depend on if the server was SCSI or E/IDE and which disk in the mirror crashed. If the primary disk failed, would the secondary be bootable without moving it and so on...that's why I've been using rsync and a "cold" copy of the boot disk. If I needed a server that *absolutely* had to survive a disk failure without needing a reboot, I'd go with hardware RAID. Costs more, yes, but disk failures are generally detected/handles by the BIOS and unless there's some sort of monitoring daemon running, the OS *might* not even know a disk had failed. That said, there's also the much-improved reliability of modern disk drives. The reasons we use RAID today are not the same reasons we used it a few years ago - disk drives have gotten much bigger (no need for RAID0) and much more reliable, especially "brand-name" SCSI drives. >What is your opinion of it? Obviously not as good or bullet-proof as hardware-RAID, but not as expensive and for the filesystems I use it for, it suits my needs just fine. If push comes to shove, I can always restore the OS and configuration files from my backup tapes, so I primarily use RAID1 for data that changes frequently - /home and /var. >Does it support 0/1? If you mean RAID levels 0 & 1, then yes. It also supports 5 and possibly 2 - 4, but I'm not sure about those. >Do you have a feel for any performance degradation that might be caused by >it?

How is this supposed to be achieved? According to the documentation, you can use /etc/ssh_known_hosts (ssh1) & /etc/ssh_known_hosts2 (ssh2) for global lists of known hosts. ~/.ssh/known_hosts is maintained automatically but I'd guess that as long as you have the global files they'll get read first. You may also need to turn "RhostsRSAAuthentication" on as well. You can also use "IgnoreUserKnownHosts" if you don't want to use ~/.ssh/known_hosts at all. (These options go in sshd's config file - /etc/ssh/sshd_config) >Q: From what I've understood, the most secure way of using (open)ssh is >to use RSAauthentification only. (Correct?) How do I setup that to >happen? If you're using strictly ssh2, I *think* you'll need to use DSA authentication rather than RSA authentication, although the procedure is pretty much the same: 1) On the client, run ssh-keygen (use the -d switch to generate a DSA key). This creates the following files in ~/.ssh identity(ssh1 private key) identity.pub(ssh1 public key) id_dsa (ssh2 private key) id_dsa.pub (ssh2 public key) Since you've used pgp/gpg these should be somewhat familiar to you. The passphrase is entirely optional and you may wonder why anyone *wouldn't* use one (see below). 2) The identity.pub and/or id_dsa.pub files need to be appended to the server's (the server you want to ssh *to* that is) ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 respectively. Create these files if necessary and *make sure* the permissions are 0600. ssh is pretty picky about ownership/permissions for files in ~/.ssh, but it never hurts to make sure. Doing this effectively creates a one-way trust between this combination of user, client & server. If you need to ssh from server to client you'll need to do the reverse. Hope this makes sense. It can be a bit confusing the first time. To passphrase, or not to passphrase, that is the question? (Ok, bad pun... ) Since ssh is designed to replace the r* commands and they can be setup to not require a password (normally through rhosts.equiv), ssh can do the same but it uses RSA/DSA authentication, which is much safer than rhosts. This comes in handy if you want to ssh between servers without having to enter either a password or passphrase every time. It also comes in handy if you use ssh as the transport mechanism for things like rsync or building a vpn. The RSA/DSA authentication method creates a unique "trust" between user/client/server and in theory won't work for any other combination. Even keeping the user the same and switching client & server requires a different combination of keys. I leave it to you to decide if you want to use a passphrase or not. You also asked about accepting RSA/DSA authentication only. I think setting "PasswordAuthentication" to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config will prevent regular password authentication. >Enough for this time. :-) Hope this is e

The 5.2 updates will probably cause problems on a 6.1 system. Normaly, RedHat only builds the updates for the latest in the series, and they work for all the sublevels. IE 5.2 updates normaly work for 5.1 and 5.0, 6.2 will work with 6.1 and 6.0. When 7.0 is released, if Red Hat follows past patterns, they will stop building for 5.2, and will just support 6.2, and the 7.X series. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Security Updates for 6.1
Hello I have just installed RH6.1 so i went to the RH webpage and started downloading all the security updates. I've noticed as you get into the more recent files it only list's file for 5.2 or 6.2, even though I've gone to the 6.1 errata. Downloading 5.2 files seems like a dumb thing to do but will the 6.2 ones work or will they screw the system? I was thinking of going out and getting the 6.2 cd and doing an upgrade. has anyone had success/failure doing an upgrade (I've already setup my users and some applications) or should I format the drive and start from scratch?

RH 6.2 Server Can't get past login!
Hi.. This morning i went to log into our RH 6.2 dev server, after typing in my name, the whole thing just hung.. ftp and http still function fine, however, i can no longer telnet in or log in directly to the box. I had uploaded a number or web reports, some of them rather large, and thought perhaps the amount of space they took up was the issue, however, they've been removed and still i cannot get past the login prompt. Is anyone familiar with this? Is there anyway i can get to a prompt where i can do a df or similar commands, possibly even read the /var/log/messages?

Thanks guys I got it working. What I was doing was POSTing a form from the client
side and wanted
to parse out the resulting html page returned into seperate lines so I could buzz the
file for a
line with a specific value and then parse some of the information on that line into a
variable to do
some other stuff with. Works pretty neat.
FWIW I was verifiing zipcodes for addresses in our database using the usps.com site
to look them
up. A pretty good excersie in perl and the use of several object contained in a
couple of different
perl modules. The test ran through about 250 addresses in just a few minutes. Not we
have the zip+4
area codes !
Thanks again for your help.

With other large files I am experiencing similar problems with downloads failing to complete, although the "block" is different for each file! Additionally after truncating the file (so that it contains just the "missing" data), these downloads fails even to start (having already seen NCFTP's "get -C filename" on the original file fail)??? A "cludge" (which is working successfully) is FTPing UUencoded versions of the same binary files (UUdecoding at the other end)! Especially curious: the text version downloaded at almost twice the rate of the binary one, leading me to believe this there is compress data occuring??? Also fearful that it might be "fault" within the data compression which is preventing the binary downloads from completing, ie. specific patterns within the data stream being the "problem"? The connection is ADSL (Flashcom), anyone know where data compression might be occuring???

RE: Cannot Telnet to Server
To clarify the previous statement, I am not interested in the security implications of this. Nor do I think that telneting in and executing su to root is difficult.

Perhaps apache uses it and if not there looks to the servername directive? if it is not ther you might try bouncing the network services and let it reload the config.

Check moongroup.com as there was a large discussion about this that lasted a few days and if I remember right it was just a few days ago. You can search the archives at moongroup.com as I am sure someone had the answer there. Is telneting and su to root that difficult? I have been logging in that way for the last four and half years.

Mine has done that a few times and I have no idea why. But, to fix it I just uninstall syslogd and it starts working. There's never been anything in the logs to show why this happens. I've investigated thoroughly to make sure nobody broke into my stuff. I even had it happen once on a computer not connected to anything more than power. A reinstall always fixes it.

HD timeouts and ide resets?
I put a 30 gig ide Western Digital HD in my box (6.2) two months ago, and
every once in a while when the system seems to get getting a heaver then
normal load (but not nearly what I gave it before) everything will feeze
for a minute or two, my hard drive will start to hum real loud, and I get
these errors. I am thinking it is a bad hard drive, or if the kernel
is just having a hard time with it? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sep 7 16:18:48 anaconda kernel: hdb: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Sep 7 16:19:05 anaconda kernel: ide0: reset: success
(some times a get reset: timeout for a few minutes before the success)

ipx routing
At the outset - forgive me if this isn't the right list for this problem - it looked like the best choice. I have a problem at one of our elementary schools where I need to route both tcpip and ipx traffic from an ethernet network in a lab to the buildings token ring network. The tcpip traffic will in turn get routed to the internet (the resources are already in place to accomplish that) and the ipx traffic is for the purpose of accessing an already existing novell server. I have built several token to ethernet tcpip routers but this is my first attempt at ipx and I'm so far unable to get it to work. I have a machine with the requisite network cards up and running with RedHat 6.2. Tcpip routing is working well. I first tried ipxripd. It was suggested to me off the linware list to turn off automatic interface and route setup and to set that manually which I have done (though I had tried the automatic method at the beginning too). My problem with that configuration was that the windows workstations on the eth network locked up whenever the M$ netware client tried to access the network if ipxd was running. They didn't lock if ipxd was killed but of course no routing could occur either. After no solutions seemed forthcoming with ipxripd I installed mars-nwe and attempted to use that package. Results were better in that I could access the mars-nwe server with no problem and I could see the novell server on the token network. Unfortunately I cannot access it. I get a network not accessible error when I try. I really need to solve this problem if I can. I'm wondering whether frame type is an issue between the token and ethernet networks. I've tried several combinations but 802.2 is the one that allows me to see the novell servers. Anyone have any ideas or resource suggestions? I really need to solve this problem and I'd like to use a Linux solution.

Re: Cannot Telnet to Server
Oh, your trying to login as root with root password. Not a good way to login. By default RH will not allow you to telnet in as root. First login as your own username and password then type su, hit enter and it will prompt your for another password which is the root password. To see who you are logged in as at anytime just type whoami at the prompt. It will come back as root or the user you logged in as or the user that you changed to with su.

It sounds like you need to block at least the following ports: 6665 - 6667 You could use ipchains to block those ports, like this: as root, with `/bin' in your PATH: ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 6665:6667 -i eth0 -j DENY ipchains -A input -p udp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 6665:6667 -i eth0 -j DENY NOTE: There are only two rulesets above, and not four. There are only two and they are word-wrapped.

If you were to read his original email you would notice this is on a private network. I totally understand the "BADNESS" of root over telnet so thanks for wasting your time pointing this out to me. I'm simply trying to help the guy from going to the trouble of messing with a bunch of files in his /etc directory and giving him the "simple" solution. I agree that ssh is the way to go and that is what I use... The RPM is actually *REALLY* easy so I totally recommend it.

If that's "the way most of us do it", then it's probably worth pointing out that getting root over telnet, including using su is *BAD* *BAD* *BAD*. You're still sending the password in plain text over a TCP connection. The same thing holds true for the telnet authentication (/bin/login), su, sudo, POP, IMAP, FTP, etc. To protect your systems, you really should use encrypted connections for everything. Use ssh instead of telnet; set up stunnel, jonama, or other SSL proxy for other services. ssh really isn't more difficult to use than telnet. Even the command line is shorter :) (Set up RSA authentication, and ssh becomes even easier AND more secure) MSG ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Don't be so sure. I don't know how its enabled ( it was done by the Bastille script) but sshd one of my boxes IS following hosts.allowed and hosts.denied BUT no mention of it is in inetd. I would try putting sshd: ALL in hosts.allow and try it from there. I'm assuming that you have something like ALL : 192.168.1. in hosts.allow for your LAN.

RE: [OT] perl question [answered]
FORM data from a web client does not contain newline characters.
Feedback from the client arrives in a "URL encoded" format where:
* Special characters (!@#$%^&* etc.) are hexified (# is turned into %23, for example)
* The space character is turned into a "+" character
* The FORM entries are grouped into name/value pairs.
* The name/value pairs are separated from each other by the "&" character
* The name and value are separated from each other by the "=" character
* stdin contains the whole (sometimes very long) string
For example, if I have a FORM which asks for the user's name and address and the user
responded:
Name: Bill Clinton
Address: 1600 Pennsylvania Apt #4
it might arrive in stdin looking like:
name=Bill+Clinton&address=1600+Pennsylvania+Apt+%234
I normally use the POST method to send data from the client to the server.
You could try the following perl code to decode this input:
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'POST') {
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$FORM{$name} = $value;
}
.
.
.
}
The result in this case will be two hash values defined:
$FORM(name) = "Bill Clinton";
$FORM(address) = "1600 Pennsylvania Apt #4";
Good luck,

Bret,
You don't need the quotes in a regex expression. The string is in the
first element of the array because your expression didn't match anything,
ie there are no sequences "\n" in the string. You want:
@resarray = split /\n/, $resstring;
Now, whether that actually does what you want depends on what is in
$resstring to begin with. You might try running the app with perl in debug
mode (a good thing to learn).

Re: Cannot Telnet to Server
Have you checked your /etc/hosts.deny file on the RH 6.x machine at work to be sure your not denying access. Also check your inetd.conf to be sure that ftp line is not commented out. You say you telneted in before and had no problem so I would not think that would be a problem. Can you login as any other user? Also in the /etc/passwd file is your shell setup to allow login or in other words is it not set to /dev/null or /bin/false? I usually see /bin/bash to allow telnet on my own machine. If this is all ok have you tried creating another user just to see if you could login with that username and password? I will probably think of more I have ran into later but check those first and see if that gives you your fix. If hosts.deny is set to deny an IP that person logging in will usually get connection refused so it may not be that either. I wonder if something has changed in pam.d to cause this. What does /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure say on the machine at work when you try this?

PuTTY and TerraTerm are a couple good ones. SecureCRT is also good, but it's not free. If you go to www.shareware.com and search for "SSH" you should find what you need. Also, www.winfiles.com and do the same, you should find something to suit your needs. John ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

In any configuration I can think of, you'd need at least two nics in one of the linux boxes.

Re: Speed Control over Ethener port
Hi, Why don't you just make sure that the NICs used by Network A and B are 10baseT and that the NIC used by Network C is 100baseT? This is a quick and easy solution...compared to hacking down the MTUs (max transfer units) utilized by Net A NIC & B NIC--and making sure that the hack sticks in place. Bandwidth load balancing is usually controlled between OSI layers 2 and 3, which means using a switch. Translation: $$ HTH, L.G.

SSH & Machine permissions...
OK guys - I'm befuddled I have SSH set up on my box. I use TeraTerm SSH to log in from remote. I do this from work & my internal network all the time. Now, the other day I was at my parents' house in S. IL., and wanted to connect to my server. When I tried, the box denied my login attempts. Now, I'm willing to bet that I set it up somewhere to disallow any logins from anywhere but the internal network & my work, but the question is where (I sure don't remember). It is _not_ being run by inetd, so host.allo/deny doesn't have anything to do with it... What else is there? Hmm... I'm not sure about my firewall, I'll have to check that... ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Anonymous FTP RH6.0
Scott posted: >In Redhat 6.0, where do I configure (turn off/on) anonymous FTP via a web >browser? Let me get this right. You want to turn off anonymous FTP for browsers, but still let anonymous FTP work for connections like telnet, ncftp, etc? As far as I know, it is an all or none situation. There is no handshaking, that I know of, that identifies the program that is making the FTP connection. Most of all, why would you want to do that? Oh wait, you want to use a web browser to configure your FTP. The phrasing of the question led me to believe that you wanted to turn on/off access to anonymous ftp by users of web browsers. I'm not sure that can be done either. There may be a third party tool that allows you to do that, but it is kind of a security hole if you aren't careful. Are you off site or something? If so, just telnet in and do it that way. MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bart: Hey, why is it destroying other toys? Lisa: They must have programmed it to eliminate the competition.
