pty redirect on redhat 7.2

[Bret Hughes]

We have been using an openssh/pppd tunnel as a vpn for quite some time
with great sucess.  My partner just got a highspeed connection at his
house and I was walking him through setting up the connection to our
office when we got to the step of trying the actual connection after
verifying all the ssh keys and seeing the ppp garbage sent back from the
server.

The scripts we use to do this on RH6.2 all use a pty-redir that is
apparently a part of the linuxconf package.

This box is a 7.2 and we have not installed linuxconf.  Is there some
functionallity in the 2.4 kernel or some other package that renders this
obsolete or do I need to install linuxconf?

If I do still need the linuxconf pty-redir does anyone know if I can
just install it without the rest of the monster package?

I see that this is still in the linuxconf rpm for 7.2.

the command that is called is:

/usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/pty-redir \
  /usr/bin/ssh -q -t -e none -o 'Batchmode yes' \
  -c blowfish \
  $ssh_opts > $VPN_DEV_FILE

I have not kept up with all the changes and if there is an easier way to
create an ssh based vpn from a 7.2 box to a 6.2 box I am all ears.

BTW I cannot initiate the connection from the firewall to his box
because his ISP NATs everything.

We have punted for tonight so any time saving tips are appreciated.

Bret

After telint 1 - umount -a; fs goes read only

[Harry Putnam]

Setup: RH 7.1 (semi-stock)

I'm seeing something here I don't recall seeing in the past:

If I `telinit 1' and then umount everthing I can, I get put into
readonly mode on the fs.

At lilo pro'mpt typing `linux 1' then once at runlevel one typing 
`touch file' works on / but after umount -a I'm thrown into a 
readonly fs.  Whats wrong here?

My paritions look like (from df): 

Filesystem1k-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6   1035660102928880124  11% /

/dev/hdc6   5714904   4214140   1210464  78% /mnt/hdc6

A few other things are out of place in this way:

/usr/local is  a symlink to /anex/local
/usr/share is a symlink to /anex/share

What diagnostics will tell me what is going here?
Any clues how to proceed to track this down?

id-utils for Redhat 7.2

[Manish Khettry]

 
The CD that I have for 7.2 doesn't seem to have an 
RPM file for id-utils. I did try to download the sources from the gnu website 
and built it but mkid seens to generate a segmentation fault while trying to run 
it. 
 
Any pointers on where I can get my hands on a rpm 
file for id-utils which will work on 7.2?

Re: Samba

[Saul Arias]

I had the same problem six months ago.

Have you changed your hostname after the last time you restarted Samba?

I fixed it by modifying the localhost line in /etc/hosts to look like
this:

[saul@server]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   server.etiresinstallers.com server localhost

Hope this helps.

At the LILO boot prompt, type linux 3

Or, while it is trying to bring up X Windows, type Ctrl+Alt+F2, which will
take you to the text terminal.  Then you can edit /etc/inittab, and change:

id:5:...
to
id:3:...
and reboot.

NIS client corruption

[Braverman, Rachel]

Hello,

I have a linux RH 7.1, working as a NIS client.
After connection to the NIS server is down (the NIS server is down for maintenance), 
and up again, any login gets:
do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused

The yp.conf file:
[root@LNXwork53 /root]# cat /etc/yp.conf
# /etc/yp.conf - ypbind configuration file
# Valid entries are
#
#domain NISDOMAIN server HOSTNAME
# Use server HOSTNAME for the domain NISDOMAIN.
#
#domain NISDOMAIN broadcast
# Use broadcast on the local net for domain NISDOMAIN
#
#ypserver HOSTNAME
# Use server HOSTNAME for the local domain. The
# IP-address of server must be listed in /etc/hosts.
#
domain TRM_RD server 190.190.3.24

ypbind on the client, does not  detect the correct NIS server.

Please advise,

Thanks
Rachel

IE is a *horrible* FTP client.  You're far better off bring up a DOS
prompt and using the FTP client in it. Alternatively, there are a bunch
of GUI FTP clients for Windows and Macs (which you're using if you've
got IE) such as CuteFTP, WS-FTP, etc.  Have a look around on Tucows and
it won't take you long to find a better client than IE.

I thought about using cipe directly, but I don't know a thing about
FreeSWAN. From my understanding cipe would not work for my situation. The
problem is that the linux box on the second network is not a gateway, but a
client to the Linksys DSL router. I was thinking of using a bridge since it
cause the linux box to listen to all traffic and forward it through a tunnel
to my linux fw/router on the other network.

Will FreeSWAN work for this type of setup?

Wack a -n flag in (so that stuff isn't printed, except those triggering

Alternatively:

sed -e '1,/^/d' -e '/^<\/element7>$/,$d'

which will delete the leading and trailing lines of the file, leaving the

Are you running all of this in KDE? Or are you accessing KDE stuff from
some other wm? I used to have this problem with KDE stuff when using a
different WM. It would appear to work, but not actually take. I had to
actually login to KDE desktop and make the changes to make them stick.
Just one more reason why KDE reminds me too much of that pseudo-OS out
of Redmond.

A trace of the 'whois' command doesn't seem to point to any issue with the
DNS configuration itself.  I just ran the following command on a system
where the 'whois' utility appears to be working fine:

strace -fro /tmp/whois.out whois virtualschool.edu



After that, I took a look at the contents of /tmp/whois.out (you may want
to do the same) and found out a few 'open()' system calls to certain files
that could be missing in your system:

/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/var/run/.nscd_socket
/etc/ld.so.cache
/etc/host.conf
/etc/hosts
...
...


Well, you get the idea.  I'd suggest you run the same command and take a
look at the contents of the output file to see where your 'whois' utility
is failing.  There is a good chance it could be with one of these files
(did you check your /etc/hosts?).

Also don't forget to update the package.  I believe a security vulnerability

KDE fixed-width font

[David Talkington]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Font setup in control center lists several font categories, one of
which is "fixed width".  Poke "choose" and look at the available
options, and there is only one -- "fixed".  However, the font used for
this category -- and displayed in the preview window -- is not
"fixed"; it's some unpleasant and horribly illegible cursive font.

I can select "fixed" and confirm it, and the system "fixed"  font is
then indeed displayed in the preview window.  Phew.  But when the
applet is closed, the applications which use this font (notably
"advanced editor", which handles viewing of HTML code in Konqueror)  
still use the unpleasant and horribly illegible cursive font.  
Moreover, when I reopen the font control center, the preview window
has reverted to the unpleasant and horribly illegible cursive font.

"fixed" simply won't stick, and I therefore cannot get rid of this
unpleasant and horribly illegible cursive font.  Why?

On my one mandrake laptop, I can disconnect from my network (to leave my

and then later, after reconnecting the cat5 cable, "ifup eth0".  These
commands don't seem to exist in my RH 7.2 laptop.  Is there a way of
shutting down the network card, temporarily, and then restarting it,
(before unplugging the cable)?  I tried "ifconfig eth0 down", but no luck
there either.

I think it came into the RH distro around 6.2. It is basically a wrapper to

I don't think it was ever well documented, but it was brought up here a few

Thanks, Dave.  I have tried as root (necessary on the mandrake box also),
but I didn't think of starting with /sbin.  I'll give that a try in the

"service" is just a wrapper / easier way of typing /etc/rc.d/init.d/,
basically.  take a look at the contents of /sbin/service -- it's a bourne
shell script.

I've got a fresh RH72 install in which I did EVERYTHING, and there is
a shellscript /sbin/service, but there's no man page for it. What does
it do and how is one expected to figure out that it exists, much less

Also, postfix is the standard mailer for the Mandrake

The opinion that the OSI is unconcered with the needs of
commercial users of open source software sounds very
peculiar.

The OSI still has the "IBM Public License Version 1.0" 
up on it's list of open source licences: 

   http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ibmpl.html

And looking at the text, it sounds a lot like an open source
license to me:

2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

a. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each
Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce,
prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly
perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of
such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in
source code and object code form.

The bulk of the text seems to be an exercise in paranoia
about protecting the guys writing code from any legal 
attacks.  The only place where commercial distros are
mentioned, they're essentially just saying that the code
authors aren't responsible for any advertising claims the
distro makes.

(And I see that gnu.org concurs that it's a free software
license, albeit with some incompatibilities with the GPL).

They work fine for me on my 7.2 laptop as root. They're in /sbin which
may not be in your path:

as root, try: /sbin/ifdown eth0

I believe there is a way a normal user can control network devices but
I've never looked into it.

Hi guys,

Although we are using an HP UX system, I thought I might post it here, since
I know there are tons of info here, and please forgive me for doing so...:)

I am in a quandary here.

We have an HP UX as our DNS server.

Recently, about 2 days ago, I started noticing something wrong with the SAM
tool.
Meaning, after adding a user in SAM, I would go back to the passwd file and
see that all of the users' home directories and login shells have been

Could it be a Trojan of some kind?

We checked for a shadow file and we did not see any at all..

If your machine is configured to have ip forwarding turned on, you don't
have to do that echo bit.  Also, you're only masq'ing traffic, not 
permitting any traffic to be forwarded.  Check this out:

At the risk of sounding flip, it's simple.  Open your eyes.

Go into Outlook 2000 or XP and add a new account.  The first question is
about what kind of account it is, whether it's POP3, IMAP, HTTP 
(like hotmail), Exchange or the ever popular, "other".

Iptables and masquerading

[Anth Courtney]

Hey guys,

I've got a RH 7.2 box here which I'm trying to setup as a gateway.

It has an external ip of 203.13.174.115 on eth0, and an internal ip of
10.0.0.1 on eth1. It also runs a dhcp server which allocates 10.0.0.x
IP's. It talks to outside computers and the rest of the world without a
problem.

A workstation behind it is allocated an IP without a problem, and can ping
both the internal and external IP's of the gateway. The workstation only
has eth0.

However whenever the workstation tries to ping somewhere outside, it
returns a 'destination host unreachable' error. The same happens for
telnet, etc.

I have just a quick shell script for my firewall atm:

#!/bin/sh
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/iptables -F
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

On the gateway, netstat -rn outputs: (sorry if this wraps)

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
10.0.0.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U40 0  0

Currently, you can't do a complete upgrade from one version to another
with Red Hat Network. You can choose upgrade from the installation
program for RHL 7.2 and upgrade that way. Since you have a new
installation of RHL 7.1 and haven't really done much, it should work
fine.

Tammy,

Thanks. I see the Custom Guide reference is for 7.2 and is quite different
than the one from 7.1, but I assume the information is still applicable for
version 7.1?

This raises another questionhow hard is it to just do a complete upgrade
to RH 7.2 from 7.1? I'm working from a new installation of 7.1 so I haven't
really done much customizing. Can one do a complete upgrade to 7.2 via the
Red Hat Network?

Thanks again,

If you installed the kernel from the RPM, you do not need to recompile it
(unless you need to tweak it for some reason). Read

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/custom-guide/kernel.
html

Then use the command /sbin/mkbootdisk , where 
is the version of the new kernel you just installed, to make a boot disk.

If you want to recompile your kernel yourself, you need to install the
kernel-source package that contains the kernel source code.

Hope this helps,

RE: IMAP secure or insecure?

[Tong Young]

It's real simple.  If you're in Internet Mode go to:

Tools -> Accounts -> Add -> Mail

Input Name
Input Email Address

Now there should be a button that says POP.  Simply click on that and change
it to IMAP.  Voila.  IMAP!

Hope that helps.

Corporate mode is pretty similar I believe. Just some of the menus are
different.  You go to services instead of account I believe.

Re: Upgrading Kernel for RH 7.1

[Tammy Fox]

If you installed the kernel from the RPM, you do not need to recompile it
(unless you need to tweak it for some reason). Read

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/custom-guide/kernel.html

Then use the command /sbin/mkbootdisk , where 
is the version of the new kernel you just installed, to make a boot disk.

If you want to recompile your kernel yourself, you need to install the
kernel-source package that contains the kernel source code.

Hope this helps,

Root -- no login

[Drew Raines]

I have a 7.2 box where root cannot log in.  Normal users used to
authenticate correctly, but I had been messing around with PAM trying to
fix root's problem, and now they can't either.

I can boot single user mode and change passwords, but if I su to a normal
user and try to su back to root, it will not accept the password.

I would think root logging into the console would only depend on the
existence of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (which are 0644 and 600,
respectively).  What else does it consult?  I've reinstalled the PAM RPMs,
but it didn't help.  I've tried stracing /bin/login, but that was, um,
counterproductive (but lots of fun). 

Any ideas?

I don't get it.  If you had a backup script that created a backup every
night, it shouldn't have been that hard to just restore that backup once you're
removed /etc...  That's the point of the whole backup, is it not?

Boy, how many times have I heard this?

Check the archives for full info, but...

All memory is allocated on startup, so that programs have a place to live...
All (semi) active programs reside in physical memory, until there is no more
room.  When this occurs, inactive/sleeping programs are swapped to your swap
partition, then things are swapped as they're needed.

I would say that you're hosed...  There was some discussion on this list a
week or 2 ago about recovering, but the consensus is that it ain't easy...
Restore from your most recent backup...

For future reference, you can alias the rm command to a script that moves
everything to a trashcan directory.  You can then have a weekly cron job
delete the trashcans - this gives you some recovery mechanism for this kind
of thing...

RH 7.2 memory hog?

[List]

I recently installed RH 7.2 on a Dell 400Mhz Celeron with
64 MB of RAM.  System Info showed 98% memory used.
So I added another 128 MB (192 MB total now) and something
is hogging all the memory again!

What can I do here?

Thanks.

Thanks but I am still a little in the dark. 

1) What device do I link "scanner" to? Is there a way to determine the

2) Does "scanner" go in the "dev" directory or the "mnt" directory or

Upgrading Kernel for RH 7.1

[Chris Montgomery]

Linux Newbie Help Needed for kernel upgrade:

I used the Gnome RPM package manager to download and install two new
packages
yesterday. One of those packages was an updated kernel, 2.4.9 (I currently
have
2.4.2-2 installed on my RH 7.1 system).

It appears that the new kernel package was installed but I need help with
the
actual upgrade/compiling of it. I have read over the "Linux Kernel HOWTO"
and
the "Upgrading the Linux Kernel on Red Hat Linux systems" FAQ, but these are
confusing since I am not using LILO (I'm still using a floppy to boot and
plan
on installing grub after upgrading the kernel).

Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Chris

Interesting.  I didn't know postfix wasn't GPL.  I suggested it because
everyone would be better off if the configuration system of such an
important service as mail was comprehensible by ordinary mortals, and
if it were more secure by default.  But yes, it should be GPL as well. 
Exim is GPL, and O'Reilly just released a comprehensive manual for it. 
What about that then?

My basic point was that much trouble could be avoided by using the best
available software, rather than the status quo.  Redhat has done this
in the past even even when some pain has been involved, such as when it
dumped inetd for xinetd.  So why not get rid of sendmail and wu-ftpd?

proftpd isn't any better than wu-ftpd securitywise - vsftpd is, but
doesn't have all the features yet (virtual hosting missed a lot).

Re: sendmail - system config error !! again

Hi rupendralist,

On Thursday, November 29, 2001, 12:33:54 PM, you babbled something about:

ryc> how to solve this problem

ryc> i could not understand the fix in the FAQ

What it is saying is that you have configured your DNS (MX record) to send
the mail for "indiatimes.com" to a particular host. However the host is
trying to relay that mail to the host in the MX record as well because it
has not been told to accept it and deliver it locally.

If you are using a CNAME record for your MX then you likely will find the
problem there.

Also check to make sure you have an entry for that domain in your
/etc/mail/local-domains file and restart sendmail.

I am quite aware of that. But, it proves that it is not the ultimate in
programming as so many claim. I think it is excellent software, but if there
are flaws in one place, should I assume that there can be no others?

I would never recommend against using Postfix, but in the time it took
Postfix to mature, Sendmail has done better then it used to. Trust me I was
always quite frustrated with the frequent updates for root compromises. But
upgrading was always easy enough (rpm -Uvh sendmail*.rpm) and since I pay
attention, it put me at less risk.

Yes, but if you've read it, you would see that it is much more Debian

Yes, but the IT guys make few of the decisions (at least in most of the
companies I've had to deal with. They can make recommendations, but often
get ignored if the salespeople that come in are really good. And M$
salespeople are REALLY good at what they do.

Do you know how many times I've had to hear, "No, we don't want to use
Linux, we only want to use a real OS like Microsoft."

XP has done more for getting people to take a look then all the bugs M$ has
ever produced.

RE: Windows 2000 and Red Hat 7.2 dual-boot

[SPENCER DAMON]

You need to copy the first 512 bytes of /boot using
the "dd" command.  Then copy it to a floppy and paste
it on the C:\ of your Win2K partition.  In Win2K edit
the hidden file "boot.ini" to show your Red Hat boot
option and to tell the WIN2K boot loader where the
path to your copied Linux boot record is.  It's easy,
and works with 2K and XP pro.

Yes, I tried that.  I know I have to edit my XF86Config-4, and that the
module should load automatically.  But lsmod doesn't show the kernel
driver loaded.  I ran 'rpm -bb *.spec' and then installed the .rpm it
made.  I also ran the command (according to Nvidia's documentation):

rpm --rebuild *.src.rpm

I suspect "rpm --rebuild *.src.rpm" is the same as "rpm -bb *.spec"
after you install the .src.rpm, right?  

Either way, I used the .rpm that it compiled.  I installed that rpm, and
get several "unresolved symbol" errors, but then reports "Nvdriver
installed successfully", as such:

depmod: **Unresolved symblos in

#Then the last error is just plainly:
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/video/Nvdriver: insmod Nvdriver failed.
Nvdriver installed successfully

I can then query the rpm database, and it shows the kernel package
installed.  

Any thoughts?  I'm looking through Nvidia's discussion group, and Dell's
groups completely ignored my post (after searching through their forums
and coming up empty).

Thanks in advance.

You ran rpm -bb *.spec on the source rpm's spec file right?  That
compiled into regulare rpms and you install those?  When installing the
nvidia_kernel rpm, it automatically loads you nvidia module.  However,
you'll need to update your XF86Config-4 file from "driver nv" to "driver
"nvidia".

should redhat dump wu-ftpd, sendmail?

[Kevin MacNeil]

I just came across the latest remote root exploit for wu-ftp, which I
dutifully installed on the small server I maintain.  It's too bad
redhat released the patch early, but accidents happen and there's
nothing to be done about it now.

That aside, I am wondering why the major distributions stick with
software like wu-ftpd, which have such poor security records, when
better alternatives exist, e.g.:

postfix instead of sendmail
proftpd instead of wu-ftpd

I know these can be installed after the fact, but why aren't they part
of the default install?  Isn't it asking for trouble to stick with
insecure software?

p.s.  is there a decent replacement for bind that djb doesn't own?

You should setup an alias in /etc/aliases to deliver root's mail to a
normal user account, or to a specified email address.

If the mail is to be sent to root on the local machine, then
root@localhost will work. The alias I referred to above will forward it to
the correct human being's account.

If the mail is sent from another machine, then root@[123.123.123.123] is
the format to use. The square brackets are required. They indicate that
the destination host part is literal, and need not be resolved using MX
records. It's a deprecated syntax, but most MTAs still handle it
correctly.

Not only that, but apparently it won't serve them anyway. I tried by doing

uncertain how to proceed. Also, my certs have *www* in them (see above). 
Does this actually make a difference?

Pb with Kernel 2.4.9-xxx

[Thomas V. Fischer]

Hi all,

I am having a serious problem trying to run kernel 2.4.9-xx on my machine
running Redhat 7.1(seawolf) on a DELL Latitude portable.

I recently installed the new kernel and then recompiled the OS with a
configuration that I ahve been using for a number of months on the prvious
kernel version. The configuration removes the stuff that I don't want (WAN,
Multimedia, and others) and adds NTFS and power management.

The kernel seems to run fine but at night it suddently stops and hangs the
whole machine (roughly between 1am and 3 am).

Anyone have any ideas to what is going on?

Re: whois question

Your name server, itself, has no role in a whois query (other than 
resolving the address of a whois server).

I realize that the above answer doesn't help you solve the problem, but it 
should, at least, provide you with where not to have to look.

Re: need a sed expert

[Brad Cox]

sed '//,<\/element>/p' should come pretty close. Not tested. 
Some assembly required.

932c

[Michael S. Dunsavage]

I am wondering what filter I should use for a Deskjet 932C in Redhat
7.0.

Also I did use the the 890C filter and it worked once.  But now it's
yelling at me now saying spooling is disabled.


How would I fix this?

whois question

[Brad Cox]

Could someone advise on what this means and how to fix it?

[bcox@linux: ]$ whois virtualschool.edu
No such file or directory while getting service info for whois

Might have fat fingered webmin trying to install a caching nameserver on 
my local lan as ns.virtualschool.edu by trying to adapt the various 
howtos to webmin with little understanding of what's going on. DNS was 
designed with job security in mind.

Along those lines, sleuth reports the following errors, none of which 
make sense to me. Any suggestions?

RE: Dell Inspiron or Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook?

[Vinny Valdez]

Yes, I tried that.  I know I have to edit my XF86Config-4, and that the
module should load automatically.  But lsmod doesn't show the kernel
driver loaded.  I ran 'rpm -bb *.spec' and then installed the .rpm it
made.  I also ran the command (according to Nvidia's documentation):

rpm --rebuild *.src.rpm

I suspect "rpm --rebuild *.src.rpm" is the same as "rpm -bb *.spec"
after you install the .src.rpm, right?  

Either way, I used the .rpm that it compiled.  I installed that rpm, and
get several "unresolved symbol" errors, but then reports "Nvdriver
installed successfully", as such:

depmod: **Unresolved symblos in
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/NVdriver
depmod: **Unresolved symblos in
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/video/Nvdriver
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/Nvdriver: unresolved symbol
create_proc_entry_Ref936a06
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/Nvdriver: unresolved symbol
mem_map_R1f41f465
#...it then lists a buch of similar entries with different "unresolved
symbols", about 10 more, then:
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/Nvdriver: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/Nvdriver failed
#Then it goes on to repeat all the "unresolved symbol" errors for the
directory /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/video/
#Then it fails to insmod the driver from
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/video/Nvdriver 
#Then the last error is just plainly:
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/video/Nvdriver: insmod Nvdriver failed.
Nvdriver installed successfully

I can then query the rpm database, and it shows the kernel package
installed.  

Any thoughts?  I'm looking through Nvidia's discussion group, and Dell's
groups completely ignored my post (after searching through their forums
and coming up empty).

Thanks in advance.

Vinny

You ran rpm -bb *.spec on the source rpm's spec file right?  That
compiled into regulare rpms and you install those?  When installing the
nvidia_kernel rpm, it automatically loads you nvidia module.  However,
you'll need to update your XF86Config-4 file from "driver nv" to "driver
"nvidia".

module personality-l?

[Scott Sharkey]

Hi All,

New RH 7.2 server, and in the logs repeatedly I'm seeing
failure to load the personality-l module.  What is this module,
and who/what is causing it to try to be loaded?

Thanks in advance!

I can't help you with sed, but this is trivial in perl with the range
operator ".."

Put this in a file and invoke with  ./myscript.pl file_list

#!/usr/bin/perl -n

if ( // .. /<\/element7>/ ) {
print unless /<\/?element7>/;
}
