Re: large files?
I think it would be safe to say its a work in progress. Even if the 32bit kernel can accept 64bit seek pointers ( and return same ), you still have lots of legacy programs that know not ( or care not ) of anything besides int32 file pointers. There are just not a whole lot of programs that do things than 2gigs. Let alone test to see that it does in fact work on files 2gig in an int32 environment. ie copy ( or mv/cp ) may not care about file position pointers, but samba might ( probably likely ) use it. How can you tell ? ask the samba folks if it can do files 2gigs and under what circumstances ( Intel ie RH7.2 and above. Linux 2.4.XX with glibc Y.X.Z. Compaq Alpha computer with RH6.1. ...). If they say no, we are not ready, then it does not matter what linux kernel you have to play with. terry barnum wrote: What prompted my hypothetical system question is I'm in the process of specing out a new file server and I thought maybe someone here would know if the setup would overcome the 2 gig limit I'm experiencing with our current server. The setup with the 2 gig barrier is running RH 6.1 (2.2) on a Pentium box with Samba 2.05a with software RAID tools serving ~100 gigs of drive space. Attempts to copy files larger than 2 gigs fail. I couldn't find documentation on the Red Hat or Samba sites to determine the cause. So is everyone saying that, except for some applications not programmed to deal with large files, RH7.2 on a dual pentium box running Samba should be able to deal with and serve files larger than 2 gigs? That it's basically a 2.4 kernel thing? ___ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list

(You want the ulimit bash builtin - see man bash and go to the bottom and search backwards for it.) But some things use more than others. If you're short of real memory, choose more frugal programs: run icewm instead of the Gnome window manager, use rxvt instead of xterm or the Gnome terminal, use few browser windows. Use no background images and wallpaper. Quit netscape (or whatever) when it gets too big. Turn off image animations and JavaScript. Also, rebooting is probably excessive.

Re: bootp question
Unfortunately we have a lot of hardware (older NCD HMX terminals and so
on) that do not support DHCP so we will have to go with BootP on this
project. Before I go any further, does anyone have a version of BootP
that will work with xinetd? I downloaded the bootp-2.4.3-7 files but I
thought I'd check and see if anyone had what I was looking for before
proceeding much further. Thanks again for all of your help.

The main benefit from dhcp was to assign ip's dynamically from a range,
bootp was a one-to-one MAC to ip system, I think. You should be able to
get dhcp to do all bootp could. On modern RHL systems you'll have to
compile and install bootp from source. The rpms (last one from 5.1) want
inetd.

Fixed it... New issues
Hi it's me Dean from the "Hope I did this right" and "Why so slow" threads. I reinstalled everything with 1 GB of swap just to be sure. Everything seems to be at just about windows pace, (the goal being to see if I could leave windows behind and be as productive.), a few seconds for programs to open and once open, response is quick. There may still be some tweaking I can do... gotta look into it. However... I set it to boot graphically, right into gnome. And as everything started, I got an error box... Application Panel Process 1573 has crashed due to fatal error (segmentation fault) It offered to take me to the site, and look at an error page, but it was a new error, non repeated. So I rebooted and now it boots in text mode, I log in, startx, and first I get a box... Could not look up internet address for x1-6-00-80-ad-01-11-fa This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly it may be possible to correct the problem by adding x1-6-00-80-ad-01-11-fa to the file /etc/hosts. HUH?? I have a cable modem if that means anything... so I couldn't assign it a static IP... bypassing that message, I boot into gnome, and my "panel", (the application bar at the bottom, right??), is missing.

Two Ximian Questions
I installed Ximian a few days ago and so far it seems ok. Some things I'm having trouble figuring out, but all and all it's kind of cool. I used to run KDE and use XMMS for playing MP3's. In Ximian when I run XMMS instead of playing them, it creates WAV files. I can't see anywhere in XMMS to change this behavior. Anyone know how to fix it? Can I still run the other Windows Managers I had before, namely KDE? How do I run the Desktop switching tool manually since I can't find it on Ximian anywhere? Will Ximian be a choice on the menu?

It sounds like you're using the Disk Writer output plugin. It creates wav files from your mp3s. If you go to the preferences menu (Ctrl P), you should see the configuration for your Output Plugin. Select eSound Output Plugin and xmms will stop writing wav files. You can run any wm you want with GNOME but some are better than others. I think even kwm (the KDE window manager) should work. If you have a Red Hat Linux system, then /usr/bin/switchdesk should do the trick. You won't see Ximian in the selections but you will see GNOME and that's what you should select to go back to the Ximian GNOME Desktop.

Re: Question about Uptime
In the load average, it means thah I am using just the 0.01 % of my processor in a 5 minutes load average and that the max load I can have is 100.00, or it means that i am using the 1 % of mu processor and the max load is 1.00 Load is defined as the number of processes in the run queue. So load averages (3, 5, and 10 minutes I think they are), means that over those periods of time, there were an average of how many processes in the run queue. You can have a load average of 5 or 50 or 500 if your system can handle it. CPU can affect these numbers. Slower CPUs or even more intense processes can cause higher load since processes will sit on the run queue a little longer. Basically, if you have 1 process sitting in the run queue (the things marked with an 'R' under the ps -aux output, for instance) for 5 minutes straight, then your 5 minute average should be 1.00 (given nothing else was runnable during that time). Also, don't forget that only one process can run per CPU at any instance :) Hope this helps. -Statux ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

dhcpcd problem on RH 7.2
I have a RedHat 7.2 system which is using dhcpcd. I am encountering a problem which I have not seen with systems using pump. It's a rather obscure issue. The problem is that when the system is booted dhcpcd makes a request for an IP address from the dhcp server. It appears that the dhcp server grants the request, but when I look at the dhcp.leases file on the dhcp server it the end time for the lease is 1 second less than the start time. The system running dhcpcd seems to be fine, it thinks it has an IP address to use. The problem is that I have some scripts running on the dhcp server which interrogate the dhcp server to find out what systems have been added and then adds those new ip addresses into the name server. The scripts seem to have problems with the end time being wrong. After the system boots, if I send a SIGALRM to the dhcpcd process, it reestablishes the lease and corrects the end time and then everything is OK. Does anybody have any clues as to what is going on here or how to correct it? ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

You build the MAC table directly on the AP/WLAN Device. And, you can turn off Advertise ESSID from the AP, so the attacker has to know the SSID and guess the MAC address as well. Regarding the MAC access controls, please refer to my other message. An attacker can trivially sniff valid MAC addresses from the air and use them directly or use them to guess or brute force others. That's a no brainer... As far as the ESSID goes, you can turn of the advertise ESSID but that doesn't buy you very much at all. All the attacker has to do is sniff the air until a legitimate client negotiates access with the AP and extract the ESSID from that. Again... Trivial. Might take a little more time, but still a no brainer. Wireless LANs can be made secure, you just have to put some time and effort into it. They are no worse then wired LANs in my humble opinion. IMHO... There seem to be a lot of people out there who have not played with either AirSnort or WarDrive (or worked on similar proprietary tools as I have) and haven't seen just what they can do. To reiterate... MAC addresses and ESSID can be obtained trivially and you have no way to prevent that. They can be sniffed from the air passively by any itinerant attacker. If advertise ESSID is disabled, the attacker may have to wait for someone to connect in, but he still can get the information. Guessing other valid MAC addresses from observed MAC addresses is almost as trivial. Cracking WEP is a joke. AirSnort (to crack WEP) requires particular wireless cards which can be placed into RF monitor mode, but those are plentiful and cheap. All of this can be done without him revealing his presence to you, since it is a totally passive activity. The WEP cracking can even be done off-line. Use a system to sniff the air and accumulate the encrypted data and then turn the data loose on another machine to boil it down for the key. Of course, with all the FUD in the press lately about Drivebyhacking and so forth, companies that don't know any better or lack good IT security teams/departments/people/etc, are worried mainly because they don't know or understand what the issues are. FUD? The tools are out there now. The kiddie poos are already playing with them. We already have evidence of drive by spamming. I've watched AirSnort roll over a WEP encrypted access point like it was a speed bump. I've had my laptop going off like a geiger counter from the open access points while walking through an airport. In my mind there is no uncertainty or doubt that there is not nearly enough fear. I took my iPAQ with my Orinoco card and some software, and was able to find a few APs within a 3 block radius, and they were all wide-open. Ignorance is scary. Yes it is... You say you have been successful at locating open access points. I can identify several dozen, just driving into work. That's not the point. That's the backwards point. We KNOW there are LOTS of insecure access points out there. The real question is can you secure one acceptably well. You think you can secure one. Have you tried and then taken AirSnort and WarDrive to it to see what happens? Don't forget, too, that while VPNs help, but they don't necessarily prevent attacks on other workstations on the wireless. Having a secure gateway to block access to the outside network doesn't protect that other workstation that's sitting there with an open file share (you wouldn't BELIEVE the number of open file shares of entire hard drives spotted in the terminal room at an IETF meeting). Windows and Netbios is extremely chatty as well. Is any of that broadcast name resolution stuff leaking out on the air or of any risk to anyone (hint - think login names and machine names). Any of those Windows systems configured with guest access? Linux laptops? Got Samba? Samba got guest? Laptop got NFS? Your claim is that They are no worse then wired LANs. I have seen no evidence that they come even close. An attacker can ALWAYS obtain information from them which he would not have from a wired lan (unless he was physically connected). Even if it's trivial data to some (like the MAC addresses and ESSID or Netbios names), it's still data. Wireless can't do better than wired, and I haven't seen where it can even do as good. The real questions are what can you do to minimize the risk and is the remaining risk acceptable. That requires understanding the risk. And yes, that brings us back to the issue of ignorance. tjk T.

So, as root, I entered the perl shell (perl -MCPAN -e shell) and issued the command to load Tk (install Bundle::Tk). It loaded Tk, and asked to update some other stuff, so I went into do it yourself mode (fully automated), and let 'er rip. Twenty-five minutes later, everything was done, and all tests past. Now, the user's running of the perl program still can't find Tk, but root has no trouble running the program. A little investigation reveals that there are (now ?) 2 versions of perl on the system. root, which did the Tk (and others) install/update is seeing /usr/bin/perl part of the Rh original install (it has an Aug 9 2001 date), and can 'see' Tk.pm, while the users see /usr/local/bin/perl which has a date of Feb 6, 2002, but can't see Tk.pm. More details below. Well, I'm not sure what to do at this point. Which is the proper perl version? and location?

Take a look at checkinstall on freshmeat.net to see if it meets your needs. jb The way I've done it in the past (this is not something I found reference to anywhere, just something I tried) was to download srpms, and dig the spec files out of them, customize the spec file to my likingand compile my new srpm (with my specific compile time options).

Re: ppp and bind
Hey there, I haven't seen any posts about this yet, so I thought I'd throw out a quick work around idea. How about setting the DEMAND option in the file as the norm. Then in your rc.local file, you could issue an ifup ppp0 command. This would offer the ONBOOT functionality, without running into the previous snag. Hope this helps. Jeff Hogg It gets better Jeff. I actually had that same idea, and works on a customer's server which I set up a week ago (which had the same problem). FOR SOME REASON, IT DOES NOT work on our server here. When I do that, it locks up again and I get no log-in screen. Ctrl-Alt-Delete works, so it's definitely 'waiting' for something. P.S. Just from curiosity, is there any particular reason to have it activate at boot time, rather than just as you need it after the boot time, via the demand option? See, this is where I'm going to have to have something explained to me (the man page for on-demand ppp is pretty useless, and I can't see anything on the LDP that tells me how to set it up with this RedHat box). If I turn on-boot off, and demand on as you said, pppd will not start up at all at start-up. Hence, when the internet packets start flying, I get no attempt to do anything from pppd, as the interface is not being 'watched' so to speak. With on-boot on, pppd starts up and waits for internet packets to start flying, which is what I expect. However, in RH 6.2 it would continue booting even if the initial link was not brought up (again, expected behaviour - demand implies only start the link when there are packets flying). It SEEMS in 7.2 it fires up ppp in demand mode, then WAITS INDEFINATELY for the link to come up for some reason. However, with no activity at all from clients or the server itself, this will never happen, hence the lock. From what you're saying it seems to me that if I run on-boot off and demand on, pppd should still load, just not attempt to bring up the link? Then why isn't it? BUGGER! Any ideas on what I'm missing? Regards, Ed. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

A quick glance here shows X has a SIZE of 97M and an RSS of 37M, and perfomrs ok unless I deliberately thrash it in some way.

However, when there isn't enough memory RSS will be smaller than what the program may like because it's fighting (implicitly - the OS is really doing this by proxy) with other programs for RAM. | | Also, is there a way of changing the memory allocation of various | | processes? | Well, they need what they need.

How do I do that ?? You want the crypt(3) function - see man 3 crypt. But only use it for compatibilty reasons - computationally it's too weak for security - you can brute force the hashes it creates these days. Even that may not be compatible. For instance, my Red Hat 7.0 system used MD5, not crypt. If you need something simple but not unbreakable though, crypt is a good option. Now I will give you the hard-to-find piece of information that will make this easy for you. When you call crypt, it wants the string to encrypt and a salt. The salt is sort of like a seed for a random number generator. It gets plugged into the hash algorithm. So let's say you encrypt the user's password, which is hakrdude, and you randomy pick a salt of Pi (you always want to use a random salt of two alphanumeric characters). Later on, the user types in their password, and you need to see if it matches. But how do you know what seed was used? The seed is the first two characters of the encrypted password. Another example, from a .htpasswd file, which DOES use crypt: carol:HxgqnOVteUhrg The password for carol is pwcarol. So when the user types in that password, you grab the Hx from the encrypted password, call crypt with a string of pwcarol and a salt of Hx, and you get back HxgqnOVteUhrg! Then you know they typed in the right password. The key to getting your head around this is that this is a one-way hash algorithm, which means that you can NEVER algorithmicly derive the original password from the encrypted one. You can only verify whether a given password matches when crypted with the same salt. --- David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit DKK D the future.

Well, the current problem with crypt is that you _can_ algorithmicly do it these days, though in a brute force fashion.

user policy
Hi. I'm looking for some kind of user policy editor when I can set password lengths, and if wrong password x amont of times it needs to be unlocked type of stuff. (like NT's domain users manger). any ideas? --Michael S. Dunsavage
