  Well, if they entered the Solaris box they might have first entered/cracked 
your OpenBSD NATter (since you are NATting that is their first (and only?) 
point of entrance (or are you forwarding services from the Solaris box?)). For 
you this break in might not be a problem, but your box could be used to crack 
others. So a little more care in these matters would be appreciated... (at 
least by me :).

Bye,

Leonard.

What "problem"? The exact wording will probably get you a quick answer and 
a solution. You could also trying using the error message as a search 
string in Google.

FYI, this kind of thing happens when there are lots of errors on the frive 
or a partition is full.

You may already know this, but Windows includes a command line utility

I don't think so. I think the MAC address is only useful on the local net 
since it is replaced by the gateway. Hence, that MAC is your gateway (?). 
So blocking that would block *all* traffic. You can block 65.1.121.18 if 
you want, though.

Question on Message log entry + IPTables entry

[Manzabar]

I check /var/log/messages regularly and find this:
Nov 19 21:32:51 c896765-a kernel: IN=eth0 IN=eth0 OUT=
MAC=00:a0:24:ba:75:64:00:03:6c:48:88:8c:08:00 SRC=65.1.121.18

SPT=3184 DPT=27374 WINDOW=8192 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 

Now, if I'm reading this correctly and with the help of the Netfilter log
analyzer; I think I am.  The log entry is telling me that I received a
packet scanning for some form of the Sub-7 Trojan horse from 65.1.121.18
with a MAC address of 00:03:6c:48:88:8c.  I've got other entries some
identical, some differing on the port, some differing on the IP but for all
of them the MAC address is the same.  Would the correct way to block this
script-kiddie be something like this?
iptables -A INPUT --mac-source 00:03:6c:48:88:8c -j DROP

If it helps; I'm running Red Hat 7.2 (using iptables) with all the updates
loaded via up2date and the Linux box acts as my router for the other
computers in the house.

Yeap.  You need to (re)compile your kernel to enable this support.  Under
Filesystems, enable 'UFS Filesystem Support', then scroll down to 'Partition
Types', and enable the Slowaris one.  Recompile and you're done.

Break-in? Can linux read Solaris formatted disks?

[Paul Greene]

I have a little test lab at home, mainly for learning security and getting 
familiar with various flavors of Unix.

The way it's setup is - an openbsd box is connected to a cable modem, 
running NAT but not a firewall or IDS. Inside the network is another box 
running Solaris/Intel 2.7.

It appears that someone got into the Solaris box and messed it all up. I 
went to login and it said the root password I was trying to enter was 
invalid, so I rebooted and got a bunch of error messages saying most of the 
system accounts were missing, and that root user is missing, etc etc. I 
can't login now to get access to the system, even using boot -s.

So, no worries. It's just a test box anyway; there was nothing valuable on 
the system.

Enough rambling, on to the real questions ...

Can I take this hard disk out, stick it in another system as a second hard 
drive, with Redhat on the first hard drive, mount the messed up disk, and 
be able to read both the Solaris partitions on the disk (fdisk recognizes 
the Solaris partitions as type 82, Linux swap space?), as well as the NTFS 
partitions (it was a dual boot system)? I have Redhat 7.0 and 7.1; would 
either one be able to read both types of partitions?

Is there any caveats or gotchas I should be aware of?

TIA

No, wrong end.  The email is INcoming to us, from an external site.  And I need to 
parse it.  The
format is the same every time, and the address it comes in to is also the same.  
Doesn't change.

I don't have control over that process.  The only thing I have to work with is 
that incoming
email to us.

Ashley,

I did much the same thing, and then set up a PHP-driven HTML page to look over
the results loaded into the database.  The key is to set up a procmail recipe
that captures this mail and pipes it to the perl script.  SInce the outgoing
mail is to many different people, I guess you would need to BCC: a constant
address you would pick up in the procmail recipe. 

One ignorant question:  Can't you modify the process that generates the email
to update the database directly?

Printing doesn't work anymore!!!!!

[Art Ross]

I'm running RH6.2 on a PC and for some reason after working for years,
I'm unable to print.   I can't recall conducting any changes to my
system that may have caused this.  In an attempt to fix it, I've deleted
the entire configuration and the printer directory and files.  Then, I
reconfigured the same printer.  Still no luck.  I checked to see if lpd
was running: fine.  I've checked the printer queue; no entries.

I'll be researching this further but if anyone has idea of what has
happened I'd greatly appreciate some tips.

Best Regards,

Simple Firewall Configuration Question

[Alejandro Calbazana]

Hello,

I have a few configuration questions.  I would like to set up a linux box as 
my firewall with a Win2k machine machine on the inside.  

I have 2 NICs on the Linux machine... One exposed to my service provider and 
one exposed to my internal network.  I have 2 public IPs from my service 
provider.

I DO NOT wish to use IP masq. since I can not use some protocols that I need 
to use under a translated address configuration.  

How can I achieve the goal of securing my internal network without having to 
resort to some level of NAT?

Do I need an additional IP for eth0, eth1, and the NIC on my win machine?

Thanks In Advance,

Alejandro

This is a relatively easy job for procmail.  By default, if you're
running Sendmail and have procmail installed, all you need to do is
create a .procmailrc and you're off to the races.

Here's a trivial rule that I use to maintain a cyclical backup of all
messages that procmail processes:

# Create a backup cache of 100 most recent messages in case of mistakes
:0 c
backup

  :0 ic
  | cd backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,100d`

Obviously, you can put your script into the "cd backup" part of the
script.  You'd likely want to file your orders into a folder, and then
process them with your script.  If anything goes wrong, you've still got
the original in the backup folder.  I just created the Mail/backup
directory and it's been working fine.

Go to http://www.procmail.org for more info and samples.

delete the printer definition via printconf-gui

redefine the printer via printconf-gui

RFS (Request for Suggestions)

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

I'm trying to find a solution where I can take an incoming email and
have something, an external program, parse the data as it arrives and
pipe the necessary information through to a database, say MySQL...
Basically we receive orders over the net and every order placed
generates an email.  That email I would like to parse, extract the
necessary information and shove it into a database, automatically, with
no user interaction.  (such script I will write of course)

Anyone have any suggestions?

login screen - background

[Jason Jesso]

I am using KDE and in the Control Panel -> Login Manager I select a wallpaper 
to display on the login screen.  I don't like the redhat logo and the blue 
background default.

My wallpaper comes up for a second and the redhat logo and blue background 
come up again.

Is is possible to change this?

You haven't said which version of Windows.  2K server has a built in client, 
Atomic Timesync from AnalogX.com works well as a GUI one..

I carry my Palm Vx around everywhere. The program Quickword
 is a pretty decent Palm DOC file editor for
the Palm. I keep my system log there, so it is with me when I walk up
to another machine and need to remind myself what I did on the other
one. A file per system, perhaps all in a "System Logs" category, seems
to make sense. Downside is hand writing it all so the recognizer can
understand it. But, that's not much worse than the paper logs I kept
15+ years ago where I had to write it so that my colleagues could
understand it. (And, there are collapsable keyboards available for
most/all Palms.)

There are other editors for the Palm. I'd be sure that whichever one I
chose used a format I could read and print under Linux or Windows.

Fear not, solutions get quicker with time.

Suggestion for this and other problems: establish a clear and deliberate 
sequence of independent steps. Each should build on the last but should be 
*separate* so you can more easily diagnose; in your saga, you have been 
trying to build the floor, roof, and walls of your house simultaneously 
(which is harder).

At the point in which you are now, I suggest:

* Static IP addresses, no DNS, set up MASQ
* Then add DNS
* Then add DHCP internally

>I am currently able to ping from the Doze box to the RH box. I cannot

* Can you ping from the Winbox to the outside if you use an IP address 
instead of a name?

* Can you see a Web page in your browser on the Winbox if you use an IP 
address instead of a name?

(Here, obviously, you could have a DNS problem or a masquerading problem; 
we need to know which one it is before you have a hope in hell of solving it.)

Output of "route -n" on the Linbox, please.

You note the gateway of your RH71 box as 192.168.1.1, which is not correct. 
The gateway for each interface is where it should send traffic directed to 
the rest of the world. So, for the Red Hat server to use one of its 
interfaces as a gateway is an impossible configuration.

However, I assume that this is *not* your problem since your eth1 (to your 
ISP) is assigned through DHCP and it will have correctly configured its 
gateway.

>Control Panel >> Networking >> Configuration >> TCP/IP 3Com Ethernet 
>blah-blah (double-click)

Good; stick with the static IP for now. We'll do DHCP later, but right now 
we want things as simple as possible.

> DNS Configuration >> Gateway >> Name Servers >> Add
> 192.168.1.1
> 206.40.133.20

As James suggested, for the moment I suggest that you remove 192.168.1.1 
from the list. Let's do *ONLY* networking first; then DNS, then DHCP.

>ONBOOT=yes

If you go to /usr/share/doc/initscripts-, you'll find two files named 
sys???. Read them; you'll learn a fair bit about this stuff. Not necessary 
right now; just think you'll find it interesting.

Check this carefully. named.conf is *not* happy using just a newline for 
separation. You are going to need either commas or semicolons in between 
those two IP addresses for your forwarders. I'm willing to bet that:

 forwarders {
 206.40.133.20,
 206.129.112.21;
 };

works better. First a comma, then a semicolon. In either case, there is 
*something* wrong here. (And by the way, when you start up the named 
service, it probably bitched hard about it and you didn't see it; the logs 
are your friend when delousing.)

Still, for the moment you shouldn't be using DNS at all until we fix your 
masquerading.

Again, take James's suggestion to remove 192.168.1.1 from the list of DNS 
servers. Then take my suggestion and ensure that both the "named" and 
"dhcpd" servers are STOPPED.

Setting up fonts for gnome terminal

[Stephen Torri]

I can use a variety of fonts within the gnome terminal. Occasionally I run 
into problem with fonts displaying irradically. For example using the 
following font does not clear the screen the command "clear" is executed:

-abisource-arial-regular-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1

You can still see old text in the terminal. The letters are spaced apart 
too far. The columns seems a bit too wide.

How do I configure the gnome-terminal to ensure that all fonts are 
setup conrrectly?

No effect whatsoever. A "higher" runlevel is not necessarily "farther from 
the ground" and thus less stable in any way. Also note that the X Window 
System (aka "X" but never "X Windows", there is no "s" in it) is just a 
GUI... you may find X unstable but the box itself is fine.

Are you having problems with the whole server, or just with X?

Different runlevels *can* be more or less stable than others, depending 
entirely on what services are running in each. Use "chkconfig --list" to 
see most of the init services and which runlevel each operates on. Also use 
"ps auxw | less" to see the processes operating at that time.

James mentioned setting the linux box gateway to your DSL provided
gateway.  I didn't see that in any of your data but I stepped into the
thread late.

netstat -nr should show someting like
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U40 0  0 eth0

0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG   40 0  0 eth0

My setup is very different since I go thru a router but you should
see your DSL gateway at the bottom of column `Gateway'

Re: Networking: The Saga, The Sequel

Long post. Hopefully a short responce. I'm doing what it sounds like you are
trying to do. Here's how I have it setup: (only difference is we use static
IP there, but concept is the same)

RH 7.1 box uses IPTABLES to connect clients to net. Simplified example
below:

server name: mail
client1: donna
client2: briana
client3: mark
64.122.X.Y  192.168.0.2  /-Mark
(192.168.0.4)
-\
/-donna(192.1668.0.10)
||
\briana(192.168.0.12)
| eth0   eth1   |
||

Config on any of the clients:
DNS: Enabled
Name: .their_tld.com
dns server 1: 192.168.0.2
dns server 2: 
gateway: 192.168.0.2



server files:
/etc/resolv.conf
search their_tld.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 
nameserver 

/etc/named.conf
// generated by named-bootconf.pl

options {
directory "/var/named";
/*
 * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
 * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
 * directive below.  Previous versions of BIND always asked
 * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
 * port by default.
 */
// query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};

zone "localhost" IN {
type master;
file "localhost.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "named.local";
allow-update { none; };
};
key "key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "";
};

/etc/rc.d/rc.local last few lines:
/usr/sbin/firewall-script
# load amavis daemons for mail virus scanning
su -c /usr/sbin/amavisd - amavis

/usr/sbin/firewall-script:
[ `lsmod | grep ipchain | awk '{print $1}'` ] && rmmod ipchains
modprobe ip_tables
modprobe ip_nat_ftp
modprobe ip_connntrack_ftp
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
echo "  - Enabling SNAT (IPMASQ) functionality on eth0"
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
exit

Works great for  my client (a local lawfirm).

Give it a shot.

Forgot to mention...make sure you have a rule like the following:
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -i eth1 -j MASQ after your forward rule above.

eth1 was your connection to the internet on the RH7.1 box.

Can you ping an outside IP address from the win box?  i.e. ping the
206.40.133.20
address you have below.

The gateway on the RH7.1 box should be set to the gateway that the DSL
provider gave you.  Also, make sure that the RH7.1 box is configured to
allow packet forwarding, by doing the following: echo 1 >
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Try removing the 192.168.1.1 address from you DNS configuration.  You don't
need this, unless you are going to run your own DNS.  For trouble-shooting
sakes, remove it and try pinging an outside address.

Networking: The Saga, The Sequel

[Ben Ocean]

Hello yet again;

First up, I_have_done_my_homework. I've probably spent a good 60 hours 
trying to figure this problem out to date. I'm beginning to understand the 
lingo now. Hopefully, with your help, I can get it right this time.

Secondly, I have gone through all of the old posts to try and (a) glean 
understanding, and (b) address *all* your questions/concerns at the outset 
(to the best of my ability).

Okay, so yeah, still don't have the *(&%$#*% boxes configured.

TOC

I outline the problem,
show the network configuration via diagram,
show the configuration on the Doze box,
show the configuration on the RH box,
then finally show the problems I am having at the command line in RH


OUTLINING THE PROBLEM

I am currently able to ping from the Doze box to the RH box. I cannot 
resolve anything else on the Doze box. I can surf the Internet, etc. from 
the RH box.


NETWORK CONFIGURATION

I have a Linux box RH71 that is connected to the Internet via DSL with 
dynamically generated IP addresses. That box is connected to a Doze '98 box.

**Note: If there are discrepancies between the addresses listed immediately 
below and those in the files, the files are to be considered more reliable.

Re: compiling modules fail: missing compile.h [SOLVED}

[Peter Peltonen]

Problem solved. One must compile the kernel first (make bzimage) before 
one can compile modules. 

It would've been handy if I just could have recompiled the modules for the 
kernel installed from RPM...

Regards,
Peter

Someone on the list said that Adaptec had problems making the CD's for some 
reason, I forget why. The poster said that burning the discs using Nero 
with the DAO (Disc-At-Once) option selected enabled him to burn the CD's 
successfully.

Alternately, "fr" could be a reference to `F'resh`R'pms, yes?

Can you see an entry for "binfmt-464c" in your /etc/modules.conf or

freshrpms.net is run by Matthias Saou, who posts on RH's enigma-list
every now and again. I first heard of freshrpms.net when he introduced
it on linuxfr.org, the French slashdot.

I presume the "fr1" means that it's a french version (how the fsck
can you make a $LANG version of a server?).

I've installed several of the RPMS on freshrpms on my home machine
without any problems but I understand the hesitation.

Perfectly understood.

Re: more install problems info

[Kerry Miller]

I left something else out, sorry, here are more details...  I DID
successfully install RH 6.2 from a boot floppy made from rawrite on that cd,
and I had a book with 7.0 cd's in it, I also successfully installed from
that using the boot floppy.  (All on this same machine.)   I think the cd is
working fine, it may be a problem with the cd's I'm making or the way I'm
using them.  It works fine with a ready-made cd from a Red Hat boxed package
or the cd's from the book, but my home-brew cd's from the ISO's don't seem
to work.

Once I get 6.2 installed, it reads my homemade cd's just fine.  It's pretty
much got to be pilot error on my part, I think, either in the way I'm doing
the installation or in the way I'm burning the cd's.  I'm making the cd's on
a Windoze box (I've tried 3 different ones, in fact) using the Adaptec ez-cd
software, burning them from the ISO files I downloaded.  I can install all
day long using a ready-made cd, no problems.

I'll try the idea about the 2nd floppy for when it asks for a driver disk,
if anybody knows what else I might have fouled up let me know!

Thanks for all the help,
Kerry

xine with encoded dvds / avi

[Peter Peltonen]

I fetched the following packages from enigma.freshrpms.net:

avifile
libdvdcss
libdvdread
videolan-client
xine

I tried playing my Matrix DVD with Xine, but it said that it does not
support encoded DVDs. I thought this would be possible with libdvdcss 
which videolan-client is also using (and it shows Matrix fine)? 
   
Also AVI playback fails. Here's what Xine tells me:

Yes, the floppy image is different.
No, all the images are 1.44MB, but there are several additional images that 
might be needed, depending on how your computer is set up:

 boot.img - The default boot from floppy startup disk image
  bootnet.img - The default boot from network startup disk image
drvblock.img - Don't know, ain't never needed it. :)
   drvnet.img - Don't know, ain't never needed it. :)
oldcdrom.img - A bunch of older cd-rom drivers for the floppy startup.
   pcmcia.img - The default boot with support for PCMCIA CD-ROM drives.
pcmciadd.img - Additional PCMCIA CD-ROM drives.

problem with scsi tape drive

[Christopher Rowe]

This may be the second time I posted so sorry if you see
this twice.  I installed a Seagate
Python scsi tape drive into a Redhat 7.1 server.  The tape was pulled from an older 6.2
server.  The system sees the tape
drive and is shown in the /proc/scsi/0 file.  Although it never went
through a configuration menu durring boot up.  At first the tape would just hang when I
tried to rewind or backup to it.  I’m
using bru for backing up.  I would
get the error “device is busy”.  If I rebooted the server the /tmp file
would claim to be busy and fail to dismount.

 

If I do a more on the /dev/st0 I get the following message:

St0: Error 2603 (sugg, bt 0x20,
driver bt 0x6, host bt 0.3).

Has anyone seen this and have any ideas to get this device
working. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

 

Thanks,

    Chris Rowe

I didn't install from the floppy so I'm not sure, but I think 7.2 uses a 
different floppy image than 7.1 so you'll have to recreate your floppy. 
Also, I think the normal boot image for 7.2 is a 2.88MB format (rather than 
the normal 1.44MB); you want to make sure you get the one you need.

PK,

I've just gotten three copies of your email message. Even after the third 
one, I *still* don't know how to help you; otherwise I would.

Couple possibles:

Try the oldcdrom.img in the folder with the boot disk image. Use rawrite to 
move that image to a second diskette, and when the boot disk asks if you 
have a driver disk, say yes.

The other possibility is that, if you have a Dell, it might have master 
select cabling between IDE drives instead of Master/Slave. There's a 
discussion of it over on  which covers the 
details I've forgotten. :)

Redhat installation boot cd questions

I burned a cd from the ISO files for 7.1 and made a boot disk using rawrite.
When I try to install, it says it can't find a Red Hat cd and never gives me
an option to tell it where to look for the cd.  What did I do wrong?  I just
burned the cd's for 7.2 and want to try again tonight so I want to find out
how to get around this problem.  Any ideas about where I messed up last time
so I won't do it again?

Thank you.

Who runs freshrpms.net? And why do most of their packages have an "fr1" in 
the name? Are they different somehow? Can they be trusted?

Excuse the ignorance *and* paranoia, but it's a real world out there... :)

The problem may be that you are specifying the package incorrectly.

try this:

rpm -qa|grep webmin

what is returned is what you need to use to remove it.

you can then do

rpm -e $(rpm -qa|grep webmin)

The difference is that you must name the "package" when removing a package,
but you are naming a "file" during the installation.  If the file contains a
package that is already installed rpm will refuse to install it for obvious
reasons.

Both of th following examples give rpm enough information to detect which
package I am wanting information about.

[bhughes@bretdell_linux bhughes]$ rpm -qa| grep webmin
webmin-0.83-1



[bhughes@bretdell_linux bhughes]$ rpm -q webmin

I usually install the .src.rpm and look at the spec file to do that.
I'm not sure if there's a way of knowing from the binary rpm itself.

Dunno what kernel you have installed, so I'd get the src.rpm and

compiling modules fail: missing compile.h

[Peter Peltonen]

I've updated my RH72 box with the following kernel packages:


[root@pihlaja linux]# rpm -qa |grep kernel
kernel-2.4.7-10
kernel-headers-2.4.9-13
kernel-doc-2.4.9-13
kernel-source-2.4.9-13

I tried recompiling the modules (I only added the support for NTFS as a 
module) with `make dep; make clean; make modules` but I receive the 
following error about missing compile.h:


sysinfo.c:11:27: linux/compile.h: No such file or directory
sysinfo.c: In function `svr4_sysinfo':

I checked my 2.4.13 kernel sources (upnacked from tarball) and I found a 
linux/compile.h in there. Why is there not one in the sources/headers 
installed from RPM?

I haven't recompiled the kernel itself -- this shouldn't be a problem, 
right?

I have no idea what all that means except the hd0,0 is the first hard disk,

partition.

Hi Eric,

Thanks.

Another question.

I install Redhat 7.2 on a hard disc running Win2K and use Disk Druid for 
selection.  After installation completed and reboot the PC, there are only 
2 items for selection, Linux and DOS.  But selecting DOS could not start Win2K.

Have you got any idea ?

I've been editing the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and duplicating the "title"
paragraph with a new boot definition that has "single" at the end.  That way
it's always available at boot.

RPM only controls packages installed via RPM; that's why it doesn't know 
about stuff that you installed from tarball. One of the questions to ask on 
the Webmin list is how to delete the whole set of files installed from 
tarball. Alternately, you can choose the messy but quick route and install 
the latest version via RPM. Since it doesn't know about the tarball, it 
will overwrite it happily.

Get the latest .90 version in RPM format from www.webmin.com/webmin. Also, 
I suggest you subscribe to its mailing list; not much traffic but some good 
thoughts and Jamie does fairly frequent updates to Webmin so you should 
know about those.

>Sorry for that. But, really, I don't even know which information is

I understand. If in doubt, write a short question, then below that add some 
more detail. Short questions get more attention on lists, and that way 
people have the detail below if they want to go look at it.

Re: / filling up and tmp

I would think that most of those files you can delete safely. As you said some
programs store some temporary information in /tmp so you should be a little
careful and not blindly delete all files, since you might delete one that is
still in use. There are not put in your home directory because they are only
temporary and should get deleted once the application that created those files
exits. On redhat systems there is a program that runs every night that checks
how old your files are in /tmp and deletes them if they are too old. You can
therefore also simply wait :)

... tooo much work for me, lazy as I am :) ... I'm using a text editor
(pico/the last time mostly: emacs :)) to write down what I did ... often
just copying and pasting the command and its output from the shell into
this log file, adding the date (last point only if necessary: some
commands automatically give me the time they have been exectd., either
via the log file in /var/log/ running 'live' in a shell in 'tail -f'
mode, or, IIRC, in the shell where they've been exectd. )
... this method ('tho easy and very fast, as most of the time I have
a text editor lying about on my desktop) sometimes leaves me head
scratching when trying to read such a not so very verbose log file ...
but this 'lazy' method at least helps me to log nearly everything I
change on the system ...

BTW: I don't log rpm installs/updates, *if* I run them the default way:
this because I get info on them very quickly by simply doing a
'rpm -qa --last' ... the lazy method :) ... oops: this just gives me the
idea of doing a 'rpm -qa --last > log file' next time .. just in case the
rpm database, or whatever produces this log, will break ... :)

But I'm really looking for a method where my system does *all* the work
for logging the stuff I'm doing on it ...

I did it, but rpm tells me that webmin is not installed, when I try to 
do rpm -e webmin.rpm, and when I try to install it it says that it 
is already installed. (??¿¿??)

at the grub menu, you can arrow down to the "kernel" line and press "e"
to edit that line, then just add the word "single" to the end of the

Hi Stephen,

 Note that when using "-c" you don't substitute the file to check, but the 
file that contains the checksums for the files to be checked. In case of the 
CD images this would be the file MD5SUM that is located in the same directory 
as the images, ie "md5sum -c MD5SUM".

 I have no experience with grub yet, but if "linux single" fails, you could 
try "linux init=1". Or see the man page.

 I presume you are speaking of RAID 1 (mirroring). In that case, all you have 
to do is mount either of the partitions that make up the raid array. For RAID 
0(, 4) & 5 this does not work, because the data is spread across multiple 
disks.

I have no idea how to fix it, but you're going to need to give a lot more 
detail for someone else to be able to help you. Also, give feedback on 
suggestions you've received. Someone told you to wipe out Webmin and

Took me a couple of days to see sense here. Eudora was complaining about

Re: xsnow

[Josh Bressers]

Michael,

The problem you're seeing is with KDE.  
The KDE desktop manager draws over the top of what
would be your desktop.  When xsnow runs it sticks
itself behind everything on the screen.
Basically xsnow is working fine, it's just covered up
by KDE.

How to fix this I cannot say, but I too see this
problem with countless other desktop managers.

man useradd
This shows you the files that useradd relies on.  The file you're after
is /etc/login.defs

RE: another md5sum question

[Stephen_Reilly]

David,
--checksig checks the PGP signature. The RPM itself is signed and
thus contains the signature. I presume you mean --nopgp ? This "ignores PGP
errors when verifying". Its not a md5 checksum, it doesn't check the
correctness of the file only the origin.

This command:

$ rpm --checksig --nogpg  

meets with my skepticism.  It checks the md5 sum of an rpm package.  
- From where does rpm get the sum to which it compares the computed
value?  If it comes from within the file itself, absent any
out-of-band confirmation of the actual md5 sum associated with that
package, how is this in any way meaningful?

using the -c switch is much faster though ...

Quickly, you could just do:

# md5sum filename

and then compare that against the md5 checksum that's listed on the server 
for the file.

disclaimer: md5 checksums only prove that the files are in all probability 
the same, but there's still an ever-so-slight chance of them being 
different.. cept I don't think that such a case has ever happened 
anyway :)

AWSTATS install not working

[Linux]

Hi 

Is anyone out there using AWSTATS

I have configured it according to the many different configuration guides
with confusing configuration results. I can get a result page to be produced
but it has NO statistics. Any clues.

System RH7.1
Perl 5.6.0
Awstats from NOARCH 3.1.1

Many thanks

Mike

2 questions (GRUB & RAID)

[Darryl Harvey]

After a disk crash and a hard time getting my system back online, I have 
two questions that could have saved me a lot of time.


1/.  When using Grub as the boot loader.  How do you boot into single user 
mode (like the old lilo "linux single" command) ??

2/. If I have a raid partition set up, can I turnit back into a normal 
partition (IE: Non RAID) to enable me to extract data off the disc.

IE: in a RAID Mode, if one disc fails, can you get data off the good disc 
without installing a second good drive and re-creating all the raid 
partitions again?

Any help with these two will save me hours next time,

TIA
Darryl
