updating rpms using rpm

2002-01-26 Thread Harold Cubillos

Hello,

I am experiencing a problem trying to update my redhat 7.2 server using the
built in ftp client in rpm.

I am executing this command:
rpm -Fvh ftp://ftp.server.com/pub/7.2/updates/en/os/i386/*

However, I get nothing. No error messages or anything to give me an idea
what is happening (or not happening)

This works under 7.1, I have tried this on several 7.2 systems with the
same result.

Any insight would be appreciated

Re: samba with Windows 2000

2002-01-26 Thread Jatan

no, i had the line

browsable = no

 in the [homes] section. I changed it to yes and tried again. Still no 
success. Windows 2000 was known to have problems with samba because of 
password encryption, domain name controllers etc. Can this be related to 
something like that ?

Thanks,

Jatan

IPMASQ probs

2002-01-26 Thread Jim Bija

I have a RHL 7.2 box that is the gateway for a few machines. I wish to allow
these machines behind the linux box to DCC and ICQ files back and forth.
Everything works fine i think going out as the packets are originated from
within, but as i remember people cant send me ICQ files or DCC files.
Many many moons ago, someone wrote a module that was easily modprobed in the
kernel, however this was was in the 2.2 kernel days and even in the 2.2 days
redhat did something to not allow this module. So all of a sudden when i
upgraded to (6.1 i THINK that module was "broke"). The workaround i was told
to compile the kernel and turn on or off some switch i forgot. Anyway, i
actually kind of gave up on the whole thing assuming after time redhat would
"fix" their kernel so that module would work, BETTER YET make a module
(which i HOPE exists, if so please tell me! ;) that will allow rhl 7.2
machines to allow DCC and ICQ from machines on the internel network, behind
the RHL 7.2 gateway (ip masq/nat whatever).

Jim.

PS* Im just looking for the easiest way to do this, module,ipchains,iptables
i dont care. If that module exists i would be a happy man! Ive looked, could
find nothing.

60 $ a year for updates PER COMPUTER. Does this sound more and more M$ like
or what? They provide free updates and you have to buy their new OS year
from year or so.
Now RHL is giving AND selling their OS and charging for updates. I also have
noticed the "were too busy for you non paying customers, wait till we get to
you" error while doing an up2date.Want to ruin a good idea? Add $$$...

Weird Perl Compile Problem

2002-01-26 Thread Timothy R. Butler

Hi everyone,
  I'm having some trouble compiling Perl (5.6.x) with threads enabled. I am 
attempting this on RedHat 7.2. I am running  configure by typing in "sh 
Configure  -Dusethreads -Duse5005threads -des" and then I type "make"... the 
results of  which are below my sig. Any ideas what might cause the error that 
results from this?

  Thanks,
   Tim

Re: Regular expressions

| Yes, thanks Cameron,

Bear in mind that there is some variance in regexps.

ed and sed and grep and vi have the core regexp syntax.
Egrep and perl and python and recent vi clones (vim, nvi) and emacs
have "full" or "extended" regexps.

Perl and python and java 1.4+ have POSIX regexps (which handle Unicode etc
and have extensions for character classes for locale support).

| Anyway, I checked out the man grep page and although I could kinda get
| it. it's very 'immediately technical' and more than a little daunting.
| Stil, I'm up for it.

The core notion is that most characters stand for themselves, so:

stand

is a regexp to match the string "stand". All the rest is frills.
The core specials are:

\   The next character _is_not_ special. Eg: \. for a literal dot.
^   start of line, eg: ^first
$   end of line, eg: last$
.   and single character (usualy except for newline),
eg: a.c matches abc and a-c etc
[a-z]   a single character in the range
[^a-z]  a single character not in the range
()  grouping
|   alternation within a group, eg:
the car is (red|blue|yellow)
matching
the car is red
or
the car is blue
etc
*   0 or more of the previous item, eg:
.*  0 or more characters
ba*dbd or bad or baad or ...
+   1 or more of the previous item, eg:
^(re: *)+
to match "re:", possibly with following spaces,
as many times as it occurs at the beginning of the line,
handy for tidying up Subject: lines like
Subject: re: re:re: topic

There's more, but those are the basics. "Basic regexps" don't have + or
() or |, except for sed and vi with have () but they need special marking
as \( and \) (for historical backwards compatibility). Full regexps have
the rest and _don't_ need sloshes (\\) on the ( and ) specials.

If you're using adduser then RTFM:

lilo on default in anaconda

2002-01-26 Thread Jérôme Tournier

Hello,
By default, anaconda proposed grub for boot loader and lilo, but grub is the default.
i want to patch anaconda so that lilo is the default bootloader.
I found what to change for this but only on the console anaconda mode.
I can't find where is the option for the graphical installation (such as the cdrom
installation). Can anyone help me ?
I have another question: how can i change the pingouin proposed by lilo at the very
begining of the boot (i want to change this "image" by another) ?
Thanks for your help

samba with Windows 2000

2002-01-26 Thread Jatan

Hi all,

I am trying to connect to Samba from a Windows 2000 client machine... it 
doesn't work :(

I have three machines on my network, two of which are Win2000 machines 
and one is a Redhat Linux 7.2 box. Im running Samba 2.2.1 on it and its 
running fine as far as I can understand. I can also see the Linux box in 
the network neightborhood of both the win2000 machines, but thats about 
it. When I double click on the linux box icon, it says "Network path not 
found" (doesnt ask for password either). Basically I am not able to 
browse the linux files from win2000.  

I have created the smbpasswd file using the sampasswd command etc ... I 
dont think I have any 'domains' concept (or whatever, i dont know!) coz 
I havent myself setup any of the wn2000 machines as domain controllers. 
Ive tried using user as well as server for the 'security' entry in the 
smb.conf file.

Im pretty new to this. Anyone has any idea whats going wrong ??

Thanks a lot!

Jatan

PS : I can browse my windows2000 machines shared folders from the linux 
box by using smbmount and providing the relevant password.

The problem with this, of course, is that PDF is fundamentally a
presentation format, so whatever you get is likely to be suboptimally
organized.  Much better to start with XML or TeX source documents (or
even valid HTML 4.1).  I realize, naturally, that we don't always have
that choice.

I think so.  He wants to remove the "D: partition", which is either a 
second primary or a logical within an extended.  Either way, you can 
blast that partition during install and then use it, without 
disturbing hda1.  Whether that's a problem depends on whether his 
Windows installation is using D:, but his message suggests that it 
isn't.

OK, consider yourself wrong :-).  We do this kind of thing regularly at
work.  I'm not sure what tools we use (and I strongly suspect that they're
Windows-based), and we have worked with quite a few different products, but
I can say that the tools don't appear to be perfect yet.  We actually get

Good question--I've always viewed PDF as a sink, not a source.  Hmmm...I
don't recall ever having encountered something that will pull something

Yes, thanks Cameron, sorry about the accidental posting on this thread
to all who may be following it by the way :) I got an extremely
offensive mail privately about this thread and thought to publish the
mail as part of the thread (yes I know, not really appropriate but geez,
you should see this thing! Anyway, once I'd accidentally posted er...
nothing it seemed a bad idea) 

Anyway, I checked out the man grep page and although I could kinda get
it. it's very 'immediately technical' and more than a little daunting.
Stil, I'm up for it.

Thanks all and if anyone is interested in the 'very inappropriate privat
mail' I got as a result of this thread just mail me with a subject of
"Bad post" and I'll mail you back the message.

Thanks again guys :-)

[7.2] can't find console screensaver

2002-01-26 Thread mjbjr

In Rh7.2, there is a default console screensaver.  I use this screensaver, but
do not like its timing settings.  I spent more than an hour last night trying
to find what the program was and where it was started.  I went through all the
init stuff in /etc/rc.d (I use runlevel3), but couldn't find it.  I was looking
for 'xset' settings, though X isn't started in my case, or anything else that
looked like it might do the job.

Does anyone know what program is doing this, where it is started, and how to
configure the timing settings?

Thank you.

If you've ever written a program in C (or C++, or a similar language) that
used random numbers, then you're probably familiar with the need for a
"seed" value for a pseudo-random number generator. If you seed a PRNG with
the same value every time, it will produce the same sequence of numbers
every time (not very random is it?). For a lot of applications it's
considered a Good Thing(tm) to seed the PRNG with the current time when the
program is started, but for cryptographic purposes this sucks. If you
generate a key pair based on the output of a PRNG seeded with the current
time then all a person has to do in order to guess your private key is grab
a copy of the same encryption program (so he has the same pseudo-random
number generator) and start guessing as to what time you ran the program.
The attacker only needs to cover a period of a few weeks or months (at
most) and typically only at 1-second resolution, so should be able to get
the correct key within a matter of seconds on a good computer. Clearly this
is not the sort of security you want for a "secure" web connection over SSL
or the SSH shell you're using for remote root access. . .
The purpose of the entropy pool is to store up measurements of
unpredictable data (hardware interrupt timings, etc.) for use as seed
values when generating random numbers for applications (like SSH and SSL)
where it's important to have really random numbers.

I'd suggest you drop by your local library and look at books relating to
cryptography. The math can get a little intense, but if you don't balk at
things like modular arithmetic and finite field theory and you should be
fine. Most such books will also have a section on random number generators,
and most good (often called "hybrid") random number generators rely on an
entropy pool.
If you can't find anything that suits you I can e-mail you a copy of a
paper I wrote on random number generators last year (mind you it was a term
paper, not a serious research paper).
You can usually also find stuff related to random number generation in
advanced statistics books (anything that deals with "Monte Carlo"
techniques), but they tend to concentrate on tests of randomness and
pseudo-random numbers, whereas an entropy pool is concerned with producing
real random numbers.
About the only really useful thing I got out of all this research was to
learn that all cryptosystems written in Java (using Java's random number
generator) are very, very easy to crack.

In brief, entropy is randomness. The "system entropy pool" is a place where 
the system gathers data which it can safely consider random (i.e. mouse 
movements, keypresses, etc. which are not predictable); this data is then 
later used for key generation, random number generation, and other tasks 
where being unpredictable is extremely important.

Sorry, that's all I know and wouldn't know to where I should point you 
either. But hopefully this at least takes the sharp edge off your curiosity.

I had the same problem when moving from 6.1 > 7.2, and I was using gnome and
sawfish in 6.1.  Fortunately, I had backed up my old stuff to cdrom, and was
able to copy it over.  Voila, good configuration.

RH7.2 comes with version 0.38 of sawfish, but currently the version is later
than 1.0.  AFAIK, there is no official RH version later than 0.38.

Here is the line that I believe does the trick:

(custom-set-typed-variable (quote cycle-disable-auto-raise) (quote t) (quote boolean))

Put it in your ~/.sawfish/custom file after backing it up.  Delete any lines
that appear to conflict with it.  If it doesn't work, I can send you the 
whole custom file for you to work from.

RH7.2 sawfish has an acknowledged RH bug: the sawfish control center
is not available until after accessing one of the sawfishcc subsections.
Rh is one of the chief supporters of gnome/sawfish, and is the default
desktop/wm for 7.2, and I am surprised that they have not come out with an
official update for this package.

Good luck.

Re: Questions on fstab

2002-01-26 Thread Brandon Dorman

I will try that Mike.  The second "user" or the first or both?  Hmm,
about the virus, that is probably true.  But in all honesty i use linux
more than windows anyway, as long as it didn't get to my mbr i would be
ok, which it probably couldn't do cuz it would have to execute windows
api's right?  Anyhow I will change both to users.  In trolling around
"man vfat" and "man mount" i didn't see any option for users.  I got the
current settings from a webpage on linuxvooodoo.com:  

"if you want to make sure that all users can use the drive freely, then
this column should read: user, auto, dev, exec, user, rw.
http://www.linuxvoodoo.com/newbies/mounting/mounting2.php";

Very good explanation other than that it doesn't work...  I know my
e-mail was unclear.  In trying to make sure i got my point across i
tried to be more wordy than usual, in doing so i kinda of got... lost.  

Thanks Mike, I'll wait to change it to users just because I didn't see
it in the man files.  If no one else chimes in, I guess I'll just try it
and see how it works?  Is no one else writing files to their windows
drive as a user?

Focus behavior

2002-01-26 Thread Duane Clark

Having recently upgraded from 6.2 to 7.2 (yea, I took my time doing 
that), there is one change that is really irritating me. In 
enlightenment, I had things set up so the focus follows the mouse, but 
does not raise the windows. Windows were only raised when I clicked on 
the border.

Now with sawfish, it has similar settings for focus following the mouse, 
and a setting that claims to be for "Raise windows when they are 
focused". Well, okay, I guess technically this is correct since the 
window is not raised immediately when it is focused. But as soon as I 
click in it, it does get raised. That kind of defeats the purpose, it 
seems to me.

Is anyone aware of a way to defeat this "feature"? Or is the answer to

Re: Using linux under windows...? or is it just linux under windows?

2002-01-26 Thread Mike Burger

VMWare for Windows only runs under an NT type environment...NT, 2000 or 
XP.  Win4Lin is an environment to run Windows under Linux, much like the 
Linux version of VMWare.

You're probably better off with the Linux->VMWare->Windows option.

I fully agree with you. It just happened that I have both messages at the

I think also that $60.- per year is ok.

BTW, up2date is again working. I think you were right. I will consider as
well a basic suscription.

Perfect; I thought you could only have one and didn't figure out how to 
delimit the two IP addresses. Now it makes sense.

Sorry; the description really wasn't that good. I'm only talking about 
*sending* mail from inside that network, not receiving. I'd like iptables 
to take all outbound traffic to port 25 and redirect it to its own port 25; 
then sendmail will actually deliver out to the Internet.

Think of a transparent web proxy; I just want to do the same thing to 
outgoing mail. Later on I'll integrate virus scanning and other features 
into this mix, which is why sendmail should relay *all* outbound mail from 
this network and not allow direct SMTP to the outside.

Just tell it what ports you want to listen on and it will not listen on any 
others. It's the same as what RH does to prevent any listening on outside 
ports by default. You can list as many as you need.

I'm not sure I understand this part. Maybe ascii art is in order. Or at least 
an example of the flow of the mail.

Are you sure you don't just need to change the MX record (of course that's 
useless if not using DNS internally.

Or perhaps it is just a matter of relaying/smart pelaying that needs to be 
done.

I just can't get a grasp of the use of IPTables for mail traffic.

Sendmail: open relay from inside?

2002-01-26 Thread Rodolfo J. Paiz

Hi!

I have a firewall/gateway box (7.2 with updates) which has been working 
properly for a while, albeit with a very simple configuation (masquerade 
anything out, let only ssh in). Now, I'd like to put sendmail on it but 
with two twists:

1. Tell sendmail only to accept connections from the internal IP's 
(127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.1). The firewall blocks connections from the 
outside, but defense in depth is good.

2. Set iptables rules to redirect *all* mail connections from the inside to 
the firewall's sendmail, then have sendmail make final delivery. A 
transparent mail proxy, if you will.

Can anyone comment on how I would do both of these? I'm getting very 
confused by iptables, and also not finding the right sendmail directive for mc.

Thanks, y'all...

I'm a technical user (been using linux for years), and a syadmin - I happen 
to run my own mail server.  Postfix + rbl domains + some regex maps == spam

The spam I do get comes through the accounts I don't have control of the

Re: Filtering spam...

2002-01-26 Thread Frank Kujawski

I have the most success with creating a separate inbox.  I set up a mail rule
that checks to see if my address is in the "To:" or "CC:" and put all the mail
there.  I am on a few distributions and also include these.  What is not
processed is usually spam.  I usually check my regular inbox pretty quickly and
delete most of the messages, and my new inbox contains mostly stuff for me.
Granted this works well, it is not perfect, but from the client side, it is the
best option I have seen.

My understanding is that free service is still available, but only if the 
server isn't busy. Seems reasonable, paying customers get priority 
service. Keep in mind that a large number of packages have just had 
updates released, and the server is likely fairly busy.

On the plus side, a basic subscription has dropped from $240.00 to $60.00 
per year. Again, I don't think up2date (free version) has stopped 
working, just that we'll have to wait if we don't want to pay.

I didn't subscribe previously as I thought $20.00/month was a little 
expensive, given that I buy a new version every 6 months. With the new 
pricing structure, and the fact that I don't want to wait, I'll be buying 
a subscription.

Kindly send flames directly to the person, not to the mailing list. No one

Re: Is RedHat droping the free subscriptors?

I am still getting it off and on. I am okay with the fact that if they
are busy they will cater to their paying customers, it is just funny
that I am seeing it more and more.

Is RedHat droping the free subscriptors?

2002-01-26 Thread Tomas Garcia Ferrari

Hello,

A long time ago, when using the RHN was absolutely free I subscribe myself
to it with several systems to check it out. At some point the testing period
was over but RH offered the possibility of keeping 1 system registered for
free. So I did. Now it seems to be that this service is over. Even if my
system is listed like having a "basic" service when I run "up2date -l" I
have a note saying this:
> Error Message:

I don't want to understand this as an action to force users to upgrade their
services, but if this is the case, I would had prefer to received a note in
advance. And yes, I received an e-mail from RHN offering new upgrades. The
same day that up2date stop working... :(

Any comments on this?

Just a guess here:
Try changing "user" to "users"

While "user" allows anyone to mount or umount a drive, ONLY the one who
mounts owns the device and can umount it.  Since /dev/hde1 is being
mounted on boot, it is owned by root.  "users" allows anyone to umount a
device whether they were the ones to mount it or not, I believe.  Perhaps
that would allow any user to write to the drive also?

Worth a try???

Mike

PS: There are some security concerns with this method I would think. 
Perhaps winblows virii ignored by Linux would be able to make their way to
your Win partition, now with write privileges ;-(

Nick,

Try

$ man 7 regex

Chances are you'll get a manpage describing POSIX REs.  It's a bit
opaque to begin with, though.  :)

I can recommend the Python Regex HOWTO
(http://py-howto.sourceforge.net/regex/regex.html).  It does a very
good job of introducing REs, IMHO, and the concepts apply to other
implementations as well...after all, it describes Python's Perl style
REs.

You might also find something useful here:

HTH,
Ben

o'reilly also has an entire book, "mastering regular expressions,"

Clarification of bus error

2002-01-26 Thread Ditesh Kumar

Hi,

I attemped to CTRL+\ when running a text based application. The program then core 
dumped appropriately. After that point though, I began to receive Bus Errors when 
running any program. Checking online from my roomie's computer, the advise was to shut 
down the computer immediately (not software but a hardware shutdown). I did and now 
everything is back to normal.

The question is: What is a Bus Error and what causes it?

Thanks for any clarification.
