Fibonacci sequences won't stress the floating-point unit much.  There are
several standard benchmarks for numerical processing.  Look for SPECINT,
SPECFP, and LINPACK on Google, for example.

Modem recommendation.

2002-10-18 Thread Jim Moberg

Hi.  I am looking for a recommendation on a modem to use with Red Hat 
Linux 7.3.  From what I have seen external modems are the way to go. 
That's fine.  I just don't know what brands tend to work better.  Has 
anyone worked with the ZOOM brand?  If so what has your experience been? 
Thanks!

I am still not clear what you mean by "mailing list name". Do you mean 
distribution list (in Kmail jargon) where put one alias that actuallly send 
the e-mail to a buch of different addresses? Or do you mean a mailing list 
address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]?

As far as I remember, that version of Kmail/KDE/Kaddressbook does not even 
have a distribution list capability.
If you want the later, then it's no different than just putting an entry in 
addressbook.

You don't have too, if you don't want to. You can always type the address 
manually. I am just saying it's one feature that KMail has, because for me, 
for example, I put all my Redhat-List e-mails to one folder. Now if I am in 
that folder, after reading a whole bunch of emails from the list, and I 
decided I want to send something to the list, when I click New Message, I can 
have the redhat-list address automatically filled out, and the Identity that 
I set for Redhat mailing list automatically used. Since I used different 
identities/email adress for different mailing-list, this is very useful for 
me. In fact, this is the reason I switched back to KMail after having tried 
Evolution.

The file it is looking for is the latest tripwire report file, usually
located in /var/lib/tripwire/report/, named
-mmdd-hhmmss.twr. Just use your tab key to locate
the latest report.

When installing tripwire it usually installs itself as a cron job to be run
round midnight. Check /etc/cron.daily for a file named tripwire-check.

If root cannot be mailed to then your first issue after entering the office
and getting yourself some coffee should be to analyze the latest tripwire
report file (location see above):
  twprint -m r -r  |less

Hi.

No. I have not give up.
BTW I think I've found a hole in my firewall.
The trafic from port 80 and 21 was directly forwarded
to a client maschine that didnt excist on the local
network. So by using that ip one could get directly in
to the linux server since the trafic from clients  is
a trusted in the firewall.

It all depends on the kind of load you want to impose on the system. If
you want to stress CPU, you could write a small C program that does some
heavy numeric computation (such as a Fibonacci sequence) a repeated
number of times.

The same could be used to stress the process scheduler by running
several instances of the same process.

It's not difficult to write small programs that stress different parts
of a system, and then run an appropiate mix of them to produce different
stress patterns. Examples:

- Network: Run 'while true; do cat /proc/kcore; done | nc  '
on one system and 'nc -l -p ' on another. Though you should note
that this will also have your CPU sky high over a high speed link.

- Disk I/O: 'cat /dev/hda > /dev/null' will do the trick. Or 'bonnie++'
if you also want to write.

- If you need to stress some service on the system, you will have to go
to specialized software. I have found that benchmarking software can
impose quite a load on services, be this web, database, etc.

And so on.

You can then mix this stressers to see how your system behaves under
different load conditions, such as what happens with my web server when
it's under heavy CPU load? what about disk I/O load?

I see some people claiming that this does not reflect a real world
system load, but this is not a real world test either. It's just an easy
way to stress a system and see if this stress has any impact on the
parameters you area really interested.

Finally, vmstat and xosview will give you a live sample of how much load
your system is under.

Re: AW: Tripwire (Re: Tonight I got hacked.)

I'am new to tripwire so I dont know exactly how to use
it. I have build the databse with tripwire -m i
and tried the check with tripwire -m c
But when I ran tripwire -m u I got an error message
about a file it couldnt find.
Also I dont know how the intruder detection works.I
even know if tripwire is running or shall be running
like a deamon, or the user must himself run the check
regulary.
I have not give any email address to be notified cause
I dont use sendmail.

Re: New Kernel || Should I update

2002-10-18 Thread Szymon Lukasik

You should :-)!
I suppose you`re in the same situation as me (& other RH8 users). The
newest update contains 3 packages : kernel (for your platform - for me
kernel-athlon) which installs automatically (after rebooting you`ll get
new kernel) and kernel sources&headers which you can use to compile your
own (like you described)...

Regards
Szymon

Provided you have version 2.5.4 or newer of up2date (I think that's the 
default of 7.2 and higher) all you need do is let it install the rpms and 
reboot. If you have an older version of up2date, you need to upgrade that 
first.

It automatically updates lilo.conf or grub.conf as well as runs lilo (if 
that's your boot loader, grub needs nothing more then the conf file changed) 
so all you need to do is reboot to load the new kernel.

Re: New Kernel || Should I update

It depends.  Is this a production system?  If so, think twice before
updating the kernel.  Remember the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't
fix it".

Otherwise, if you do plan on upgrading the kernel, make sure you have
the latest up2date (RedHat says that something is wrong with older ones,
I forget what it was offhand though), and then update the kernel.  

>From personal experience, I have never had any problem upgrading a
kernel with up2date, and I have never had to do anything besides running
the "up2date" program, restarting, and continuing with my work.

Good Luck with whatever you choose :)

Using Xfree86 CVS on RH 8.0

2002-10-18 Thread Joshua P. Metcalf









Has anyone attempted to download the latest Xfree86 system
using the CVS on RH 8.0? And did you get it to install successfully? If so,
would you be willing to assist me in doing the same?

 

So far I have downloaded and compiled Xfree86 however, I
fear that it’s default install path’s differ from the ones that Red
Hat uses. 

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated (I can’t get
my system running without the video drivers that the latest CVS contains).

 

Thanks,

Josh

New Kernel || Should I update

Re: why can't I shutdown Linux ?

2002-10-18 Thread achana

I put in a known functional network card, same RTL chip.
Now everything works.
I need only log in once rather than twice.
But shut-down still hangs at "Umounting file system", I wonder whether
this has anything to do with disabling the hda on the ASUS motherboard
because I use SCSI ?
Nothing that happened this morning makes much sense to me.
First, the dead nic did not complain. The last time a nic died on me, it
flooded dmesg.
Second, what has a nic got to do with logging in twice (or once) on
Gnome ?
Although the problem is resolved, I remain dissatisfied because I do not
see the connections between the symptoms and the dead nic and the only
reason I changed the nic is because I cannot reach it.

Re: Kmail and mailing lists

2002-10-18 Thread mark

Well, a number of you have responded, and obviously I didn't make my problem 
clear.

KMail 1.3.1, KDE 2.2-11
(Yes, as soon as I have spare time, I'm upgrading my kernel, and then 
upgrading KDE...I'm too busy trying to make some money, having been caught in 
the "recession" for well over a year)

At any rate, I did all the stuff, created the list in Kaddressbook, but:
   if I click to create a new email from KMail, no matter which of the four 
options in "configure KMail"->appearance->addressbook" I use, 
  
1) in no case does it display the mailing list name, regardless of 
whether I hit the ellipses (the three periods), or the addressbook on the 
toolbar; only individual names & email addresses are displayed, and

2) if, instead, I bring up the KAdressbook GUI, and select the mailing 
list name, which *does* show up here, when I click on "send email", the only 
thing that happens is that it brings the mail client - the base KMail window, 
to the foreground, and does not open up a new email-editing/creating window.

Also, I am unable to choose the order of the addressbook listings: for 
example, I cannot say "sort *all* of them in alpha order (bringing up the 
addressbook gui, sometimes seems like random order), to ignore the quotes 
that surround some usernames, or to tell it to ignore case.

It appears that the last is not a bug, but a wishlist item, and I can live 
with that. However, as I said, neither gui even displays the name of any list 
I have created.

Finally, why would I want to have to change to another folder, just to send 
out an email to a mailing list? Almost all the time, I am responding to 
something, or sitting there, and having thought or read something, want to 
send out a new email.

Are my complaints clearer?

Re: New NetGear Wireless PCMCIA

You can't play music?  If you are referring to XMMS and MP3's there is a
fix for that.  It's a simple RPM file located at
http://soraas.student.nlh.no/~havardk/xmms/xmms-1.2.7-rh8-rpm/

I hope that helps in perhaps getting your wireless to work.  It may work
if you upgrade to the 8.0 release and use RedHat's wireless mojo.

RE: Changes to fstab are revoked

 Well, every time I edit /etc/fstab using vim then when restarting the system my 
changes would be revoked. I have noticed also that the changes I do will then be put 
in a new file which is /etc/fstab.REVOKE

Well, I'm on ext3 but I've just tried The Coroners Toolkit, which whilst
pretty neat, didn't work for me.

I got it to dump all the stuff on /hda3 (can't remeber exactly) into a
file (18G) then Lazurus couldn't open it! Damn!

Oh well, it's just an php file that will take me less time to re-write
than messing with complicated software ;-)

Re: Mplayer playing WAY too fast

just a guess, but try a few different avi files if you can.  maybe the

You can also cat /proc/scsi/scsi which will show all of your SCSI
devices. Tape drives show up with a type of "Sequential-Access" as you
can see from the example below. If you have only one tape drive on your
system, it will be "st0" as mentioned elsewhere. If you have multiple
drives, they will be enumerated in the order they show up in this pseudo
file.

[linush@lh2 linush]$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi (abbreviated for clarity)

While the amnount of activity on the filesystem is an issue, there are
techniques to recover a lost file from a ext2 file system.  A ggogle
search will turn up some HOWTOs using the ext2 file system tools and some
other software.  Ext3 is another issue.  It seems like one oght to be able
to play the journal, then remount the filesystem as ext2.  But I've never
seen any instructions and I could be way off base on that.

XDMCP and NFS problem

2002-10-18 Thread James Smith

Hello,

I am having trouble with NFS and XDMCP on my system.  I am not sure what is
going on, or even how to troubleshoot it.  Here is what seems to be
happening.  I enabled XDMCP in gdm.conf.  I have exported my home directory
in /etc/exports for NFS.  I restart all services and everything seems to
work fine for a few days.  NFS and remote X sessions all seem to be happy.
Then for what appears to be no reason, NFS and XDMCP both stop working.  I
tried to track the problems down in /var/log/messages, but don't really find
anything useful.  All I find that might be useful is:

Oct 18 11:23:56 localhost rpc.mountd: authenticated mount   request from
192.168.0.108:1001 for /home (/home)

192.168.0.108 is infact my IP address, but I can't access any exported
directorys.  I am using OMNI NFS client on Windows XP, and it is able to
detect the nfs server running on the linux box, and even see the exports,
but just can't mount.  I have tried Labtam NFS client with the same results.
Unfortunately I am unable to get much information about the X session.  I am
using Labtam Remote X session.

I should probably note that I am using Redhat 7.3 on my linux box right now,
but this problem existed in 7.0.  I tried this upgrade to see if it would
fix the problem, but to no avail.  After a few hours of fiddling around,
rebooting etc. both services mysteriously seem to start working again.  How
do I go about tracking down this problem and fixing it?

Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
James

why can't I shutdown Linux ?

2002-10-18 Thread achana

Hi all.
My Oracle/RH7.1 server has recently developed two unusual quirks.
(1) It cannot shutdown and hangs at "Umounting file systems" with
following error message "shutdown : warning : cannot open
/var/run/shutdown.pid" This is a new one for me.
There is no shutdown.pid in this directory ?!?
(2) It seems that I have to log on twice at the spalsh screen to log on
(I installed gnome, I shouldn't have on a server) . I think sometime
back, somebody had a similar problem.
(3) And just now, on reboot, it cannot reach the other machines ?!? Hmmm
network problems, but it has been running nicely for weeks without  a
reboot : eth0 up, default route okay, can't ping , womder why.

Re: Tape Drive

Hi,
Have you tried /dev/st0
Normally things will work better if you create a link /dev/tape to the 
device.
from the commandline, do mt status after you have done:
ln -s /dev/st0 /dev/tape
If it shows up, you should be ok with most software.

To make distribution list (that's what it's called, i think) you need to have 
all the addresses in the Addressbook individually, then you click File-> 
Distribution list, and add the addresses to the list, which really sucks, I

To use your address book, click a little button with 3 dots beside the To / CC

I don't know what you mean. Do you mean create a folder in KMail? There is a 
checkbox which if you check, allow you to put a default address to post. So 
if you're in that folder and click the New Message button, the To box 
automatically gets filled in with the that address.

Hope that helps.

I'm running RH 7.3. I "upgraded" to 8.0 for about ten hours and
ripped that s***er right out (I have a hard time developing when I can't
listen to music...). I got the wireless after I went back to 7.3 so can't
respond to 8.0 support.

Tape Drive

2002-10-18 Thread IS Department




I have Redhat 8.0 installed on a Dell Poweredge 
4200. This machine has a SCSI 4mm DAT tape drive. I would like to use KDAT 
which comes with the RedHat distro. Does anybody know how to find the name of 
the tape drive and weather it even exists?
 
Thanks

It need not be *explicitly* a RH8 issue.  Many compilers and libraries are
updated in RH8.  If an incompatibility has been introduced with software
built in older environments, then the software provider is on the hook to
get their stuff updated to work in the new environment.

In this case, I believe there is some useful information on the VMware
newsgroups about this issue.

Or maybe no.  Did Julian actually ask Red Hat about this?  IIRC, some
older releases did have a six-week-ish free upgrade window.  It's pretty
common practice in the software industry.  And while it is true that you
can always grab the ISOs and do it yourself, it is also true that the
boxed set adds value (docs and service, at least) and that Julian is not
getting the benefit of at least some of that added value if he doesn't get
to use his purchased version for some reasonable amount of time.

Kazaa Lite Fun: was, RE: Tonight I got hacked.

2002-10-18 Thread Bill Holland




Kazaa 
and Kazaa Lite both have an option for disabling the downloading of files that 
"might contain trojans".  The difference is, Kazaa protects you by enabling 
that option, and Kazaa Lite does not.  So after using Kazaa for a while, I 
switched to Kazaa Lite - and assumed the same default was used.  It 
isn't.  My Win2k box was so hosed after running a single VBS file, I had to 
re-install the OS. Microsoft compounds the problem by hiding known 
file extensions, so "your.hacked.jpg.vbs" becomes 
"your.hacked.jpg"  The good news was, I took advantage of the 
opportunity to make a linux partition on that machine.

Re: New NetGear Wireless PCMCIA

2002-10-18 Thread Joe Polk

If you're RH8, go into Network settings and you can choose Add to add a 
wireless device. Good luck. There's support for all kinda cards but you'll 
just have to see.  There's alot of wireless support in RH8, but it's still a 
bit behind the curve from what I can tell. I'm not sure if NetGear is in 
there or not but there's a long list.

Red Hat also backported the kernel to 7.1 and 7.2.  I'm running the
kernel on 7.1 but I don't have VMware anymore.

It isn't officially supported but there are a couple of ways to work around
the problem.  Go to vmware's newsgroups for the details.

Unfortunately, it looks like the kernel RedHat released yesterday for 7.3 has
the same problem (it causes the same crash when you power off or suspend
your vmware machine).  It looks like it'll have to be VMware that releases
an official fix since RedHat backported the patch to 7.3.

If you're running VMWare Workstation for Linux under 7.3 you may want to
avoid the 2.4.18-17.7.x kernel for now (and RedHat 8.0).

Well, the new wu-ftpd has xinetd as a dependency but I installed it on a
6.2 system that's running inetd.  wu-ftpd 2.6.1 is seriously broken in
some chrooted environments - I did verify that it's fixed in 2.6.2.
Since 2.6.1 on inetd gave me the logging information and 2.6.2 on the
same inetd doesn't, this should mean that it's the application does it
not?

True.  IMO, portsentry does nothing that a reasonable firewall and NIDS

You're correct, iptables is also stateful.  Using portsentry *might* have

circumstance where I think it's terribly useful.  Such programs often 
hamper administrators.  It's awfully easy to shoot yourself in the foot,
blocking YOURSELF from accessing your own system.

I haven't dug enough through to tell you how to do it system-wide, but
if you use the gconf editing tool, you'll find it and be able to change the
WM to sawfish.

Firestarter is a perfect thing to use to set up your firewall, as it also
turns on masquerading to allow internnal boxes talk to the outside.

That is how I have my two internal boxes (Windblozes) talking to the outside.
Actually, I only have one of them set up to route to the outside.  One
network card talks to my DSL and the other to the internal LAN/switch.

Actually no.  I figured since my SuSE 8.1 works fine, and several others I 
have talked to are running into this and they all use RH8 now, its got to be 
a RH8 issue.  Whether its a missing library or whatnot.  I figured the best 
place to ask would be in the RH forums :)

Thanks though.

Window Manager Redhat 8

2002-10-18 Thread Aaron Rolett

I recently installed a test server running Redhat 8. Switch from Sawfish
to Metacity was like going backwards, so I installed sawfish and used
the following command to switch it:

killall metacity && sawfish &

My question, where is the windowmanger choice stored in Redhat 8? How
can I change the windowmanger for the individual user and/or systemwide?

Problems configuring SAMBA

2002-10-18 Thread Kathy Vaughan

I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked. I've
done some poking around in various HOW-TOs and archives, but I cannot
find the exact answer to my question.

I am trying to configure SAMBA 2.25 in Webmin 1.020 in RedHat 8.0. Here
is the situation:

- Computer A is a Windows 2000 computer that is trying to connect to
Computer B, which is running RedHat 8.0/SAMBA 2.25. The SAMBA server is
running on Computer B. Computer B has one share, "Drive_F", which is
mapped to the mount point /mnt/Drive_F (which is /dev/hdb7). /dev/hdb7
is mounted and is browseable on Computer B. Both computers belong to the
workgroup named "WORKGROUP". Computer A has "NetBIOS over TCP/IP"
enabled.

- Computer B has two users defined for SAMBA: user1 (me) and user2 (the
user for Computer A). No other users exist in the SAMBA user list in
Webmin. Computer B has Lokkit running at "Low" security. Authentication
is set to "User Level". Guest access is disabled.

What is happening so far:

- Computer A can see Computer B in Network Neighbourhood; however, if
the user tries to view the shares for Computer B, the following message
occurs:

"\\ComputerB is not accessible. The network path was not found"

- If Computer A tries to map to \\ComputerB\Drive_F and provide the
SAMBA username and password, the following error occurs:

"The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different
username and password. To connect using a different username and
password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share."

Followed by:

"The mapped network drive could not be created because the following
error has occured:
The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials."

Note that the share was not mapped to begin with on Computer A.

I have tried the following:

- Changing the password for user2 so that it matches the user's password
in Windows 2000.
- Mapping the user's Linux username to his Windows username.
- Enabling guest access.
- Setting it so that no password is required for user2.
- Setting user2's account to "Workstation Trust Account".
- Adding user2 and user2's group to "Valid Users" and "Valid Groups",
respectively, for the share "Drive_F".

The SAMBA server was restarted after implementing each of these changes.
In every case the same errors mentioned above occured. Except for the
addition of the user and group to the share, all the changes made above
were discarded after the errors occured.

If Computer B reboots into Windows 2000, both computers can connect to
eachother and browse eachother's shares.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get Computer A to connect
to the share on Computer B. While I have read the man pages for SAMBA
and looked through the troubleshooting sections on their website, I
cannot seem to solve this problem. I am unfortunately very new to Linux,
so I apologize if this is "old hat" to the people on this list.

Thank you in advance for any help the list can provide.

  Subject: New NetGear Wireless 
PCMCIA
  I installed a new NetGear 
  PCMCIA wireless card yesterday, along with a new wireless access point. The 
  box said it was compatible with all kinds of operating systems, including 
  Linux. I opened it up, stuck the card in and booted Windows. With not too much 
  hassle, I got everything working right. Then I looked in the documentation for 
  what to do when I boot into Linux. Not a word about Linux anywhere in the 
  docs., Go to NetGear's web site. Their answer is that they don't support 
  Linux, ask the Linux vendor. Don't that beat all? So, now I'm stuck without a 
  clue. How do I get Linux to recognize the wireless, set up the WEP encryption 
  (128 bit) and be able to network/internet with the wireless card? 
  BTW, am I missing something as far 
  as documentation goes? I've lots of information in man pages, a whole lot more 
  in HTML pages, and none of it has a decent index/search capability. I'm sorry, 
  but I'll be d***d before I sit down and plow through a manual page by page 
  just to find one tidbit of information I happen to need at the moment. 
  Understand me, I'm struggling mightily to get away from MS. The lack of an 
  effective documentation search mechanism is very much hindering the effort. 
  Surely there is an indexed (as in b-trieve) set of documentation that supports 
  basic word searching. Where is it? Thanks. Randy

wu-ftpd logging questions

2002-10-18 Thread Ed Wilts

It seems that the logging changed a bit between wu-ftpd 2.6.1 and 2.6.2.
Using the same ftpaccess file, my /var/log/messages no longer shows
messages like:
corpftp ftpd[12203]: FTP LOGIN FROM 150.228.40.. [x.x.x.x], 
Instead, I've just got abbreviated messages of the form:
PAM_unix[23751]: (ftp) session opened for user custtest

How can I get the original logging back?  It's handy to scan the message
log and get the username/IP address matching at a glance.

I also don't get the correspond "FTP session closed".

Thanks,
.../Ed

RE: Linux as a firewall

2002-10-18 Thread Anthony Abby

>I'm pretty sure that Linksys and Dlink uses a *nix as their OS anyway.
>


I'm not sure what the firmware is based on, but I also have a Linksys for the high 
speed cable access based network in my house.  Have a Redhat 7.3 based firewall/router 
for my DSL based network.  

The Linksys type products are very nice (and easy) for simple networks, but you are 
definately limited in what you can do with them.  The key to ensuring someone can't 
hack your Linux based firewall is to ensure you either use one of the multitude of 
diskette based distros, or if you are determined to use a full distro based IPTables 
version, ensure you run NOTHING else on that system.  No other daemons, other than are 
absolutely required to keep the machine running.  That means NO FTP, no WWW, nothing.  
And keep it up2date!

my 2 cents is wait.  Keep in mind that I have not installed 8.0 and
probably will not :)  I learned the hard way that the .0 releases
usually have issues that can be a bitch to figure out and from the posts
to this list over the last several weeks it would seem that 8.0 is no
exception.

If you want/need to upgrade I sugest at least lurking this and the psyce
list for a wile to get a feel for the issues others are having.

Of course you may have no probelms at all but I belive in not upgrading
servers unless there is a reason.
