Extracting Content

[UK Jaiswal]

Hi friends,

In www.slashcode.com and slashdot.org, we see that by selecting various
sites in the preference menu, one can pull headlines from those sites on
to the main page of slashcode or slashdot.
Could somebody pls send some pointers / guidance as to how this is
implemented as I too would similarly like to design a site where I could
let users have the option of getting the headlines from sites like
freshmeat, newspapersites.com etc on to the main page of my site after
login.

You had better re-read that man page - it actualy lists the append option
in the per image section, not in the global section.  This actualy makes
sense because you sometimes use different append options with different
images, depending on how you have the kernel compiled, or what version you
are running.

Its now xinetd.conf powered by xinetd the scripts are located in

Re: myserver/~users/ (i.e. public_html ) not working

[Alan Mead]

Yes, apache needs be able to see those pages to serve them.  And apache runs
as nobody which has no special power to read files.  You could run apache as
root but that's a significantly risky solution; not the kind of thing one
does on a tight ship.  You might be able to add nobody to each group but
that might give nobody more power than you want.  BTW, why worry about the
webspace being private?  I mean, the whole point is for the world to be able
to see this stuff, right?  Well, maybe that's exaggerating.

I guess this is a case where ACLs would be useful.

Anthony Greene posted a couple days about this.  You can just give 711
permission to the user's home directory and at least their neighbors cannot
browse their home directory.  They should keep private files in a
subdirectory of their home dir with 700 permissions.

Assuming the addresses are exported into a text file and listed one per
line, you could use a shell script like this:

#!/bin/sh
#
addrlist=address_list.txt
msgbody=mass_message.txt
subj='Subject of Message'
for recipient in `ls $addrlist`; do
  mail -s $subj $recipient < $msgbody
done
# end of script

If you want to reduce the load sendmail puts on the system, you can add a
sleep command before the "done" line:

for recipient in `ls $addrlist`; do
  mail -s $subj $recipient < $msgbody
  sleep 5
done

A 5 second pause means it will take ~83 minutes to queue 1000 messages, not
counting DNS resolution time. On the machine you're using, any message
addressed to an operational destination should be delivered in 90 minutes or
less.

7.0 and Xserver Options

I just did the upgrade from 6.2 and so far so good. I mostly use
Windowmaker without gnome. But thought it worth taking a look at
X4+gnome. The upgrade stuck me with 3.3.6, and I've gotten 4.01
going now. BUT -- I am stuck in 8bpp hell. Before the move to 4.01 I
was happily 16ppp. No matter what I change in XF86Config, I still get
8bpp -- DefaultColorDepth, etc. So I am looking where gdm passes the X
server options. The docs are lacking to non-existent on gdm (still).
It looks like it calls /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers, but editing there is no
go either. Where the fsck does this get set???

Also, I thought I'd check out sawmill. Trying to access the sawmill

RPM troubles

After upgradeing my RPM package to a newer version I can't install any RPMs.
How would I go back to the old version of RPM without losing RPM altogether.
Seems to me that it'd be kinda hard to install a new version of RPM from an
.rpm file if RPM isn't installed or working.  Can you get RPM in source
format?  My compiler's working fine.  I'm running RH 6.0 by the way.

Re: memory problems

[Eddie Strohmier]

Your total memory from free shows 127820. If your running in X mode this
requires quite a bit of memory. Memory is also allocated for buffers and
cache. I would not worry about the print out from this free as it looks
quite normal to me. I ran a news service at one time that if you ran a top
showed 40 % of memory allocated to the news service alone. I was always
dipping into swap but as long as your not dipping to deeply into swap your
memory usage is fine. Why have memoy on board and not have in use? Memory
not in use is "free memory".

Re: insmod rio500.o fails

Do you have the USB code backport? Doesn't look like it since you're
running a RH version of 2.2.16. The unresolved symbols mean that you don't

Nothing. Linux just uses most of the available RAM for
caching. If it is needed, it will release the memory.
Unlike Windows which does NOT cache in memory, you can
expect to see most of your ram "used up" in linux.

For example, I have 192 megs of RAM on my system here...
and here's MY system's "free":

[john@slave1 john]$ free
  total   used   free shared   buffers cached 
Mem: 192628 1893443284
 63604  74552  43204 -/+ buffers/cache:

Read the manpage on lilo.conf, you will note that the 'append'

Hi Marco,

99% chance you were hacked. This is a common "feature" of a rootkit.

You will likely need to reinstall, or start looking for the files that were
replaced and reinstall the packages necessary.

You can figure out if you've been hacked by checking to see if you've
upgraded ALL of the errata items. Most notably the wu-ftpd and bind

I don't see the problem.  You are showing 127820K total (plus what the
kernel is using...)  Discounting memory used for buffers, you are using
64740K,, and have 63080K free.  You are also using 2288K of swap space,
out of a total of 401616K, leaving 399328K of swap free.  You might want
to use the -m option of free to display usage in Megs, instead of K...

One other point - Linux uses almost all of the otherwise unused memory
for disk buffers.  So  on any system that has had much activity, the
amount of free memory shown in the first total line will be small.  This
is because Linux is not wasting the memory.  The second total line shows
what is being used by programs, and how much is free for program use.
Looking at your usage, you probably have X and Netscape running - you
are using a fair amount of memory...

couldn't connect.

Also, is there a way I should have loaded the module that would have 
detected and handled the dependency?  Or else how was I supposed to know?

Thanks!

PS - What's with the list?  Yesterday I got something at home five days

Curiouser and curiouser. I can't fathom this happening without something
calling a file or function named 'umount2' (since that's what the log claims
is happening).

Possibly because of the order in which the umounts take place. Obviously,
some have to remain (/) to execute commands until the last one is down. For
some commands, /usr/lib may be essential and /usr/hda1 may be trying to
shut it down too early.

Just a guess. I haven't delved into it that much.

Never tried mounting /usr/lib anyplace else so I can't answer that. But,
it's entirely possible that the system functions may well _assume_ mounting
/usr will also get /usr/lib, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, etc. In that case, moving
it and symlinking wouldn't work too well.

Personally, I don't think I'd ever try doing it to any of those named
above, plus a few others I can bring to mind (/boot, /lib, /sbin, /etc)
because those (the latter ones) guarantee failure.

What exactly does this mean???

[Jake McHenry]

I just installed some more memory, and now this is happening when I boot, even
when I try to boot to single user mode.

INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation at 0x2ec54! sleeping for 30 seconds.

It is in a loop of this, and won't stop! I let it sit for 2 hours and it was
still doing the same thing. I didn't touch anything. I shut it down with 

shutdown -F -h now

no big deal. Put in the new memory, powered back on. Bios finds all the memory,
I didn't see if in the boot process it saw it or not, but then this started
happening.

What do I do?

Thanks,

(free) mass mailing software

[Jeff Graves]

Okay,

Running 6.2 stock kernel with IMAP,POP, and SMTP. Also set up horde and IMP
for remote IMAP access. Anyway, need to pull email addresses out of an
(win32) Symantec Act! Database and send a mail blast to all clients. Don't
necessarily need to directly access database. ie. I can export as ASCII if
need be. Important thing is to have to address show up as user's address
(not a list like this one). Database is roughly >1000 users and the system
is a P166 with 64MB. Not a monster by any standards but this doesn't need to
be sent out in 5 seconds. If I can set it up to send overnight during idle
periods (don't stop incoming mail to send this mass mail). Any suggestions?

Accepting and forwarding mail

[Robert Friberg]

Hi folks,


I have a RH 6.1 server hosting a few named based websites.
The same machine is primary dns for all the hosted sites.
I don't have any mail support whatsover yet, but would
like to do the following until I have time to learn to
set up the full monty.

What I would like to do is just accept mail for each
domain and forward to existing mailaccounts on other
servers. Any number of aliases per domain should be
possible, any nonmatching aliases should also be
forwarded to a default adress. IOW, no mailboxes
and no pop servers.

Also, I would like to avoid linuxconf so I can learn
what's happening. 

The first step is to add MX-pointers for each domain,
that I can manage. Then I have to upgrade sendmail to
the latest secure version (it's currently disabled), I
can manage that too.

It's the config part I could use some help with...

TIA,

Re: [OT] Looking for perl url redirect script

[Charles Galpin]

Hi Gary

I didn't see anyone answer this, and was curious, so I wrote a simple
little one. I'm not sure if this was what you were looking for, but it
just logs the refering page and destination url and redirects.

It would be almost as simple to do a masking style redirect to hide urls
you are redirecting to if you want.

call it from html like this

http://slashdot.org">Slashdot


#!/usr/bin/perl

# simple redir script

use CGI;

# logfile
my $logFile = "/tmp/redir.log";

# file locking constants
$LOCK_EX = 2; # exclusive lock
$LOCK_UN = 8; # unlock

# get the url
my $query = new CGI;
my $url = $query->param("keywords");

# log it
open (LOG, ">>$logFile");
flock(LOG, $LOCK_EX);
print LOG $query->referer(), "\t", $url, "\n";
flock(LOG, $LOCK_UN);
close LOG;

# do the redirect
print $query->redirect( $url );

# done!

RE: log entries: innocent or crack attempt?

[Larry Grover]

Thanks for the response.  Your analysis confirms my suspicions.

I do have PortSentry installed, and it has flagged other attempts in the past, but not 
this one.

Since this attmept, I've been specifically blocking 203.21.16.18 on the firewall, and 
on the internal server.  

I'm also logging all connections and attempted connections, but I haven't seen 
anything suspicious since.

I ran "rpm -Va" on the server, and everthing checked out OK.  

Anything else I should do to verify the integrity of my systems?

Do you think the machine at 203.21.16.18 has been cracked and is being used to attempt 
attacks on others?  Should I contact the admin of that machine?

Re: Installing Redhat 7.0 on a Dell Inspiron 3200 Notebook

[Larry Grover]

I upgraded my Inspiron 3200 from RH6.2 to RH7.0 over the weekend.  After finishing the 
install, X no longer worked.

Because I had a backup of my old XF86Config, I was able to fix the problem quickly.  

I think the problem was a bad range for HorizSync, and copying the old range into the 
new XF86Config file fixed things (but I might be remembering this wrong).  

The advice to save a copy of your old XF86Config is good, and it should get you going 
quickly if you have problems with X after the install.

Re: Kernel compile problems (clean 7.0 install) [solved]

shortly after I sent this, I tried a make mrproper oldconfig dep and then
it magically worked. The mrproper seems to have done it, since I checked
another 7.0 box (upgraded not clean install) with the same problem, and it
fixed it there too - without changing the Makefile.

I guess the list server is out to lunch again.

Re[2]: Compiling linux-2.4.0-test9 kernel on Redhat 7

[Dan Evans]

Still no luck in getting this critical operation working.

I cannot find this directory on any Redhat mirrors, are you sure
about it?  Perhaps you could provide a working URL.

I'm baffled why no one from Redhat has helped out or verified
such a critical issue, this is not good.

Re: Kernel compile problems (clean 7.0 install)

[Charles Galpin]

I'm having the same problem. I changed the CC definition to use kgcc
(which is installed), even though mine had some logic that should have
resulted in the same thing anyway, and it made no difference.

What else can I check?

kernelcfg-0.6-9
kernel-headers-2.4.0-0.26
kernel-2.2.16-22
kernel-utils-2.2.16-22

insmod rio500.o fails

[Alan Mead]

I upgraded to RH 7.0 last night after telling my wife it would support her 
new Rio 500.. so of course it's not working :)  Here is what I get when I 
try to load the USB module for the Rio:

[root@alan /root]# uname -a
Linux alan 2.2.16-22 #1 Tue Aug 22 16:49:06 EDT 2000 i686 unknown

Also, has anyone gotten the rio 500 to work with RH 7?  The rio500 software 
(from sourceforge) says this about the 2.2.x kernels:

... These utilities requires that you have a 2.3.x kernel
or later or are using a 2.2.15preXX or later kernel
with 2.3 series usb support backported in place. ...

Thanks!

Clarification:  I am mistaken (actually I misread).  The other posts about 
jailing your users is what you want to stop them moving around the 
directory structure and this is not default RH behavior.

The default behavior prevents users from reading (or modifying, deleting, 
etc.) other users' data.  But they could, for example, know that another 
user named 'ted' has a home directory. I think that's usually sufficient 
given that the alternative is a lot of work (I think you will break a lot 
of standard stuff) ... but only you can decide that for yourself.  Jailing 
would seem to be a lot more secure if you can make it work well.

Upgrade/repair on RH6.2 with RAID

I have a RH6.2 (x86) system that is causing me some grief.  I've tried to
research the problem, and have asked here without a solution.  My next step
is to either repair the 6.2 install, or uprade to RH7.0.

Has anyone tried an upgrade to 7.0 or a repair on 6.2 on a system that uses
software RAID1 (the new code included with the 6.2 release) on the root
drives?

Actually, no, it won't, due a stupid default behaviour in 'man'.
There are two crontab man pages:  crontab(1) and crontab(5),
and the info you probably need is in crontab(5).

Unfortunately, you'll never find it unless you use
man -a crontab
or
man 5 crontab

Once upon a time the -a behaviour was the default; why it isn't in Linux
defies comprehension.

Umm...it depends. Just because a particular package shows up on
root's "desktop" doesn't mean it's not available to other users.
OTOH, if it's something "joe user" shouldn't have access to
(sendmail, bind, other "sensitive" packages) he won't be able to
access it. This is a GOOD thing.

One problem with NT, as I see it, is that there is VERY little that
an Admin can do that an average user can't do. Also realize that if
you want an app to show up on EVERYONE's desktop, there are ways to
do it I'm thinking you could probably put it in /etc/skel/Desktop
as a .kdelnk file and it would at least show up on NEW
desktops

Now, never having adminned a multi-user GUI machine, I'll have to say
I don't know for sure if that would work for EXISTING accounts or
not I'm sure there are some experts here who can tell you EXACTLY
how to go about that...

Advansys has provided SCSI drivers for linux for the longest time,
but now Adaptec is also actively supporting linux. Those are the two
"major" brands of SCSI adapters. Other brands work as well, but you
can be pretty sure that Adaptec and Advansys will work. One nice
thing about Advansys, is that the price of a given Advansys card is
about HALF the price of a comparable Adaptec card. :-)

I guess there are some people who will ONLY buy Adaptec, no matter
what...:-)

Re: Installing Redhat 7.0 on a Dell Inspiron 3200 Notebook

[Pat Cookson]

Just a point on this one. I installed RH6.2 on a Dell Latitude and had to
work a bit to get X to work correctly. It was a matter of selecting the
generic LCD at 1024x768. It is because the model is not included. Its a
Princeton monitor but not listed under their drivers. Anyhow, come RH 7.0,
this plan went in the tank. My way around was to not probe the card(even
tho the install saw it correctly) and set my ram and clock individually.
Take the generic LCD  drive and the individual settings and it works. My
feeling is that it has more to do with Dell than RH.

Balsa has gotten pretty good except for one thing; it still interacts badly
with what I've been told is a GTK bug. When you delete the last of several

AFAIK that's the 'rlogin' daemon. Take it out.

Actually it doesn't strictly speaking need to be unmounted in order to shut
down cleanly. I have no clue why you would have this problem (I don't), but
you should be able to solve it by re-mounting your /usr (or /usr/lib, I
forget which was the mountpoint) as read-only during your shutdown phase. A
read-only filesystem is considered clean even if it is mounted when the
system shuts down (for good reason).
Also, I have had a vaguely similar problem with shutting down when I had
write-caching (-W1) enabled with hdparm. This can be gotten around by
disabling write caching as part of your shutdown/reboot scripts (in RH7 I
think they even provide a /etc/rc.d/init.d/something service script to
handle this).

In terms of freeing up space (particularly when you neither have more disks
available nor want to delete stuff) I've had great results with e2compr
(see http://opensource.captech.com/e2compr/index.html for info & dl) which
allows you to apply selective transparent compression within an ext2
filesystem.

Re: port forwarding

sorry, I missed that too. I don't have time to try autofw, but this will

Just add your ports to the for line.

In perl you can do a range 6070 .. 6080, but I don't know how to do it in

Yes. ipchains. After the re-install. (I here assume you did *not* run
ipchains when they violated your computer.) You will most likely want to
add logcheck to your list.

ipchains *may* prove to be initially difficult to configure. (Depends on

Authentication failure

[Marco Shaw]

system: RedHat 6.2 x86

Since yesterday, in multi-user mode, I can no longer authenticate any
users.  All login attempts result in 'login failure'.  Strangely,
/var/adm/messages does not indicate any failures from PAM.

In single user-mode, I have no problems su'ing from and to any user.  I've
'zeroed' out root's shadow password, then rebooted, and logins still fail.

I've checked to make sure all my keys work properly.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get back into multi-user
mode?  I've tried commenting out all the entries in /etc/pam.d/login (not
having researched what each line does), and logins still fail.

Thanks,
Marco

If you mean that it does not show up on GNOME/KDE menus, then that depends
on the package. The software is available to users at the command line. If
it does not add it's own menu entry, then you will need to login as root and
add a menu entry manually.

I did 'locate umount2' and it didn't find anything.  I also used find
from the root like this 'find -iname "umount2"' and it found nothing. 
Then I ran grep on all the files in rc[0-6].d and init.d looking for
umount2.  Still no references to umount2.  I can't figure out where
it's coming from.

I was afraid this is what I'd have to do.  It just seems like there'd
have to be some way around it--I mean, on a large system do you
always have to have /usr/lib on the same disk and in the same
partition as / or /usr?

You've been hacked. There is no legitimate reason for that happening.
Certainly start taking appropriate precautionary measures...

Run something like "telnet 0 9704" and you'll instantly have a root shell.

symlinking any lib is a "bad idea" (tm).  Try to symlink something else, 
like any doc or src directories that are around. That will solve the problem.

Please give an example (a case in point). Describe your problem in detail
:)

Programs must be installed as root because most software is installed to
areas of the directory tree which only root can write to... this, in turn,
allows all users some sort of method by which they can use the software
(special cases aside). So, as I said in the first paragraph, please
describe your problem in detail.. program names, etc, help as well.

Re: Log Files

[Eddie Strohmier]

Jeremy:

Check the /etc/logrotate.conf file. You can make your changes there. I am
not sure if modifying it here will stop on startup or a syslog restart but
you can stop log rotation here. I have tried this in the past but found my
system day by day utilizing more and more resources towards syslogd because
the files were so large that is was writing to. Because of this I started it
back up and if I want to say look back on old logins from 4 or 5 months past
I would do a last -f /var/log/wtmp.1 or wtmp.2 and so on. But that is how I
did it and it would not restart the logs on a reboot or syslog restart. But
this was Red Hat 4.2. Someone else may be able to help you with the log
restart on startup.

Hope this helps,

Yes and no.  Yes, I'm missing the source IP, but I've been trying to use "ipmasqadm 
autofw" instead of "ipmasqadm portfw" and the syntax is different.  There's no 
parameter for the source IP.  Go figure.

portfw works, but I have to forward ~30 contiguous ports, which means 30 commands.  
autofw allows you to specify a range of ports in a single command, which would be 
considerably more elegant, if it actually worked. :-)

I guess this is why shell scripting was invented.

I've got it working now with a slew of portfw commands.  But if anyone knows the trick 
to making autofw work in place of portfw, I'd still like to hear about it.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, though.  I hadn't even tried the portfw approach, 
but it does work.  Now it's just me being picky. :-)

Re: procmail

[Luke C Gavel]

Hi,

Ah, yes, it's from that pesky dialsprint.net server.  Loads of
spam come from there.  And forwarding the messages to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], never works either.

Eric, you'll have to ignore the To: field.  It always changes and
it is always fake.  The only real part of the header information
is the network IP address within the 'Received From:' field
just above the 'From:' line--not the domain name, because they
can be faked too. Your procmailrc should have the following to
block this particular spam source:

:0
* ? formail -x"Received:"\
| egrep -i "168\.191\."
/dev/null

Good Luck,
L.G.

Re: Installing Redhat 7.0 on a Dell Inspiron 3200 Notebook

Make a printout and save /etc/X11/XF86Config, so you can configure X
easily.

Re: procmail

[Nate W]

Unfortunately, the "spam-filter" you're thinking of will also nuke messages from most 
mailing lists - including this one.  Here's a fragment of the header I got with your 
message just now:

Date: Wed, 04 Oct 2000 22:08:49 -0500
From: Eric Clover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-3 i686)
X-Accept-Language: en
MIME-Version: 1.0
To: redhat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: procmail

I'm not "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" of course, but your message wasn't spam.

This approach works reasonably well on a per-user basis IF you, the user, remember to 
add rules that match the mailing lists you're subscribed to.  Unfortunately, that kind 
of maintenance requirement makes it impractical to do this on a site-wide basis.

Filtering spam is a hard problem. :-(

is there any way to use the procmailrc in /etc to block email that is
not really sent to whom it says it should be sent to(SPAM)???

note: i work for an isp and have a large user base

test cycle for bind 9?

[Jason Costomiris]

I noticed the bind 9.0.0 is now in Rawhide.  I'm building it on my Guinness
system right now.  What I find particularly attractive about this release
is that it's a ground-up rewrite, rather than the hack-n-patch job that
8.x was, even Vixie admits this..

Thoughts about a turn-around/test-cycle for inclusion in the errata for
Guinness?

Tomorrow, I'll be porting the spec file for use on my 6.2 servers.  I'll
post the results when done, if there's interest.

Re: port forwarding

Hi Nate

I got it working using the following syntax (for https - port 443 - in
this case ) on my 6.2 box, 2.2.13 kernel, ipmasqadm-0.4.2-3

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P udp  -L 206.84.220.139 443 -R 192.168.1.7 443
