Don't you mean xkill which is a console app that can kill the window
you point at.

List of non-free software packages in Redhat 8.0 GNU/Linux

[Richard Meraz]

Many in our research group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 
(Dept of Theoretical and Computational Biology) are really pleased by 
Redhat 8.0.  However, some of us are also socially conscious programmers 
and would prefer to support the spirit of the gnu-project by  using only 
free - software on our systems.  Presumably (or hopefully) a Red Hat 
distribution would not be broken by removing/not-installing non-free 
software in the distribution. 
So... is there a list of non-free software in the Redhat 8.0 
distribution and (to anybody's knowledge) does Redhat 8.0 critically 
depend on any non-free software. (And yes we know about Debian, and that 
Mandrake certifies itself as "100% free - software" but we prefer Redhat.)

Thanks,
Richard Meraz

I'm surprised you have received any e-mail for the past 7 months since
orbz.org (not .com) has been shutdown for that long. They purposely RBL
every IP address on the internet to encourage e-mail admins to stop using
orbz.org. Consider using another RBL service like ordb.org or dsbl.org.

   The application is named 'xkill.' In KDE, you can do:

  to being up the command line popup window. Just type in
xkill, and then . Move the cursor over the window you wish to
kill, and click.
   A 'man xkill' will give you all the details.

Mouse settings return to default for each login

[Alex]

Hi All,

This is not a critical problem, but a nuisance. I tweak the mouse 
settings the way I want and after loging out and back in again they're 
back to defaults. If I go to Menu->System Settings->Mouse, the correct 
mouse is already highlighted (wheel mouse PS/2). I just select Ok and 
the pointer jumps and my settings return. I had just changed the 
acceleration and sensitivity a little. Sure would be nice if it would 
remember my settings.

Thanks for any help from anyone,
Alex

At least, I can send from my hotmail account to my ISP account and receive

I missed it the first time around, but you can patch Linux if this is an
issue for you:
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/index.html

This may already be fixed in 2.4.19, I don't know.

What, that it only recently got support for the 64bit SMB extensions? 
How many enterprises need that?  Most Unix people put their critical
data on Unix servers and publish it over NFS.  Why?  Because it works. 
Unix is a great enabling technology.  Keep your data there, and you can
share it out to both Linux and Windows platforms, and share it well.

I'm afraid they don't.  I'm afraid that even the ones that

I run a "dark network".  A research network of over 25,000 IPv4

Re: Hacking attempts from Sweden.

[linux power]

My ISP didnt block those ports so I got hacked by a little IPX program that came in the netbios ports. Now I have closed them both on my lan card and wan card. THen they tried to get in via samba ports since I use the linux server also as server for samba. Never do that. They got in through that door too.So now I dont use samba on the internet server.Masquerade didnt help much. They went in through that backdoor.Whole evening I had 10ths of hacking attempts.

No. It won't take any room on the linux installation. It only requires
a mount point in linux. And once mounted, it shows as a different
partition mounted when using the 'df' command.

A simple question about mount command

[Manuel Tejada]

Hi
I am new in Linux area.
I have a single disk. In the primary partition Window ME. In an extended
partition(RedHat 7.3 in a logical partition and Fat32 in another logical
partition).
My question is: To mount the partition vfat(Windows ME or logical partition
fat32) in Linux, Do I need to make room of the same size in Linux partition?
I hesitate to mount vfat partition because either one (Windows ME or logical
fat 32) is larger then my Linux partition.
Any comment will be accepted.

Newbie: Ident problems

[Geoffrey Lane]

I keep getting problems with identd I'm trying to connect via xchat to 
dalnet...
First my sys conf:
Redhat 7.3
Xchat 1.8.10
(Behind linksys router)


I was getting errors with identd, so I decided to install identd for linux 
from http://www.fukt.bth.se/~per/identd/   Which I previously asked the list 
a few days earlier about an error was

[root@Downstairs linux-identd-1.2]# make

identd.c:155: warning: `pwd' might be used uninitialized in this function
gcc  identd.o -o identd
sed -e "s/#VERSION#/1.2/" identd.8.in > identd.8

ln -s identd /usr/sbin/in.identd
ln: `/usr/sbin/in.identd': File exists
make: *** [install] Error 1
[root@Downstairs linux-identd-1.2]#

I checked kpackage and found an entry called pidentd and both programs use 
/etc/identd.conf file Which I'm pretty sure is the cause of this 
error Now the problem is. Are they conflicting or something? Can both be 
uninstalled and then re-installed? Can this be fixed?

Can someone please help me with this? I know I'm an idiot but that's why I'm 
asking the smart linux people what to do!!!

undefined symbol: curl-global-init

[Ernest E Vogelsinger]

Hi list,

maybe someone has a simple answer to this:

I am running Apache 1.3.22 with libphp4.so. Everything's fine, but when
starting php from the command line I get:

php: relocation error: php: undefined symbol: curl-global-init

Any idea what I should try?

samba question

[Russell Peterson]

I'm having trouble getting SAMBA 2.2.5 (RH 8.0) speaking with my XP and
98 boxes.  Actually, I can do a smbclient from the linux box and connect
to a share on the MS boxes... just can't browse shares on the linux
box.  I've tried all the obvious things with encrypted passwords and
things like that...

I *think* the base problem is that my linux box does not respond to a
NBNS name query:

12.934366 192.168.1.103 -> 192.168.1.255 NBNS Name query NB
BLUEHILLS<20>

In this case "BLUEHILLS" is the linux box and 192.168.1.103 is the XP
box.

According to ethereal, my XP sends this when I try to browse but the
linux box does not respond... anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Russell

There are over a dozen bugs opened for redhat-config-network in bugzilla
for Red Hat 7.3, and all but two or three have been closed as duplicates. 
The problem is that the Python script invoked on the backend dies 
horribly. The bug has been assigned to someone in Red Hat QA, but there is 
unlikely to be any resolution in my lifetime.

Re: Where to send package updates

[fluke]

  Well, it sounds like you already found bugzilla.  Your next steps should 
be:

  - create a bugzilla account
  - login to the bugzilla account
  - query one of the bugs that your modification should fix
  - do a "find in this page" for "Create a new attachment"
  - select to create a new attachment
  - provide the material in an approbate format (I for multiple patch 
files I would recommend bundling them in a .tar.gz and also include any 
modified .spec files, full RPMs are a little bloated for a bugzilla 
attachment, just provide what has changed).
  - query the other bugs that are fixed
  - add a comment to each with the bugzilla bug number that contains your
attachment

Does it bother you that RH has so many versions, or
Does it bother you that Window has so many versions...

IN SHORT, if it bothers you, don't use it!!  It is obvious you have not
read anything, otherwise you would know the reason why there are different
versions.

well, I partly agree with you here - most of them do. But taking into
account that people are discovering server code flaws on a nearly daily
basis - you know, the  "may aquire root access" type - I would not to 100%
rule out the opportunity of a malicious guy/girl stepping into my system.
Granted, if they had root shell access they could then kill my firewall -
nothing is secure except a server that's switched off and grounded into the

those people. That's all I aim for...

Please attach patches to those bugs. 

For improvements, create new bugs at bugzilla.redhat.com ( severity =
enhancement ) and attach patches to them.

If you worked on packages made by someone else, not by RedHat, submit
the patches directly to the package maintainers ( by bugzilla, devel
mailing list, direct mail to author )

Re: Where to send package updates

[Eric Wood]

You code send the code change to the the last package maintainer listed in
the src.rpm's changelog   Their email address is usually in there.  They, in
turn, will hopefully submit it to the core team of that package - if it's
other than RH.

I've emailed BSD man pages (for programs that were missing one) to the RH
package maintainers.

Kernel & Kernel Source up2date Issue

[MET]

I recently submitted a question with my up2date having launching issues,
which thankfully was quickly answered and easily fixed.  Now that I can
run up2date it's telling me that I need to upgrade the kernel and
kernel-source to 2.4.18.  The problem is that the kernel.rpm is for
i686, which is what my machine is, but the kernel-source.rpm is for
i386.  What should I do?  Is there someplace that the machine's
architecture could be mislabeled?  Also all the application RPM's are
for i386, is it because there aren't specific i686 packages?  And
finally, on the first page (Channels) of the up2date application it
recognizes my machine as i386, however its not.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

~ Matthew

that the file size is not a limitation you will need to worry about.  In
fact I don;t see that file size is a problem on linux just in the ntfs
side of things. 

Take a gander at :

ibm.com/linux 

there is an awful lot of good information out there.

Also perhaps I do not understand what a /mnt'ed nt server is.  Is this
an ntfs mounted partition on the same box or a share on an NT box
mounted via samba?

The samba mailing list is bound to have some good inforamtion on the
later and I would be shocked to learn that the samba code has problems
with large file sizes, at least or the order of magnitude that you are
describing.

Before you punt why don't we try to get specific?  any thing in the logs
of either box involved?

Just my thoughts on how I handle this, since you already seem to see
the origins of the problem. I like having things I need no matter what
in .bashrc, like aliases, etc. .bash_profile invokes .bashrc:

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

The potential downside is you might have a lot of junk that is totally
unnecessary for non-interactive shells then in .bashrc. So I do:

if [ "$PS1" ]; then
  . ~/.aliases
  . ~/.functions

 [...]

fi

This skips this stuff for non-interactive shells, but is there for
interactive shells too. This way I don't worry about login vs
non-login, or interactive vs non-interactive.

As to remote logins with ssh, etc., I use something in the
environment, like:

SSH_CLIENT=$'192.168.10.3 34655 22'
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/3

if [ -n "$SSH_CLIENT" ]; then 
# if a ssh connection

 if echo $SSH_CLIENT |grep "192\.168\.10"; then
 # ssh from LAN (hopefully!)


[...]

as a test whether it is remote or not.

Re: compiling qt with xft support in redhat 8.0

I believe your problem may be this...

RedHat had modified much of the source code to QT and KDE in order to
support Xft2 instead of Xft1. So the QT included with RH 8.0 has been
modified to work with Xft2 whereas the original qt-3.0.x will only work with
Xft1. Since Xft2 doesn't use the file XftFreetype.h you are getting an
error. Basically version 1 and version 2 of Xft are completely incompatible.

So you have a few choices.

1. Don't worry about it and use what came with RH8. If you have bugs, report
them to RedHat's Bugzilla to try to get them fixed.

2. Port the patches RedHat put in to 3.0.5 to the 3.0.6 that you want to use
and compile that.

3. I _think_ that qt-3.1 is supposed to include Xft2 support. So grab the
beta or wait for the official release of that version.

I don't know that any of these will be particularly appealing, but I believe
that they are all you may have. YMMV.

Hope that helps.

Have fun,

Logitech trackball and wheel button

[Michael George]

I have a Logitech Trackman Marble FX (PS/2) that is working just great on my
system.

The trackball has 4 buttons.  I have it configured to use the leftmost as m1,
the upper as m2 and the right button as m3.

However, there's another little button, a red one.  Under Windoze, you can
select that button and then the trackball will act as a wheel.  That would be
a very cool feature to have under Linux.  However, I haven't the knowledge to
figure out how that would be done.  I'm curious if this is a problem that
someone's solved already...

Reading the X11 docs, I've tried to use that button as m4, but it doesn't seem
to be recognized at all.

FWIW, I'm running kernel 2.4.9 on a RHL7.2 system with XFree86 4.1.0 and ctwm
3.6.  The window manager shouldn't be a factor, though, as if I can get the
4th button to work under xev I'll work out ctwm somewhere else.

Thanks!

-Michael

RE: need help with ~/.bash_profile

[Stone, Timothy]

Thanks for the continued suggestions of help on getting ~/.bash_profile to be read. I 
developed my own thoughts and detail them below showing a practice of where user 
aliases, functions and variables should be placed.  

Let me recap my dilemma for posterity and other novices:

I have learned an understanding of the difference between a login shell and an 
interactive non-login shell is necessary. Reading the man pages for bash has helped. 
The man pages explained, in detail, the shell invocation differences and how 
~/.bash_profile is read or not read between a login or interactive non-login shell.

My experience with shells has really been in two manners:

1. Via a terminal, i.e. CMD on Windoze, and SSHing to my RHL 7.3 box.
2. Via invoking KONSOLE in KDE on my Linux box.

In the first scenario the SSH session starts a *login* shell.

In the second scenario, I use KDE's konsole to open a shell via ALT-F2, and the shell 
is defined in /etc/passwd as bash (the RHL default). This shell is an interactive 
*non-login* shell, hence ~/.bash_profile will not be invoked. 

My most recent follow up asked what the best practices are in using ~/.bashrc and 
~/.bash_profile. And some may wish to elaborate on how their environments work.

I will close by saying I'm developing a hypothesis for my best practice:

~/.bashrc should contain user aliases, functions and variables for the local system 
that builds on /etc/bashrc
~/.bash_profile should contain user aliases, functions and variables for remote 
sessions (needing a login shell); these environment settings should build on the 
~/.bashrc settings or reset them based on the needs of the remote session.

So if both a remote session and local session need the same *base* CLASSPATH, set it 
in ~/.bashrc. 
Build on the base CLASSPATH in ~/.bash_profile if the remote session needs something 
more (or less).
For example ~/.bash_profile might read:

unset CLASSPATH
export CLASSPATH=my:new:classpaths
#or when $CLASSPATH has base settings in ~/.bashrc
#export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:my:additional:classpaths

Comments and thoughts welcome.

Thanks again and warmest regards,
Tim

Sorry to say that, but that is just plain wrong. And above is
bad quoting style, btw. Non of my text was quoted.

2.4.9 = even numbered : kernel 2.4 patchlevel 9
- -31 = Red Hat's package revision

odd numbered is 2.5, e.g. the latest 2.5.44 release.

Well, sort of.
Odd numbered branches are development, even are stable.
2.4.* is stable, while 2.5.* is development, for example.

Not quite. Samba allows Windows machines to access files taht are stored
on a Linux box. If you need to have Linux access files that are stored on
a Windows box, then 'smbmount' is needed.

You've posted more than once with stories of your systems being hacked 
- I can only assume this means you've had multiple intrusions.  Perhaps 
you should read some howtos, or read up on securing your systems.  
While you're at it, you should also backup data files, and perform a 
clean (as in format the drives) installation of your operating systems.

Assuming a simple configuration, eth0 on the inside, eth1 on the 
outside, no inbound access, you would be safe with something as simple 
as:

# Safe default policies
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD DROP

# allow established and related connections
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

# allow localhost communication
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

# allow inbound from internal network, allow internal network to go out 
to the Internet
iptables -A INPUT -m state -i eth0 --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m state -i eth0 --state NEW -j ACCEPT

# setup NAT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE

There, I've fixed your hacking problems in 9 lines.  To save that, run 
"service iptables save".

You can run Synaptic from GNOME (or KDE) menu -> System Settings ->
Synaptic.  Synaptic has a big "Update" button as well, so the initial
RPM install is the only thing that you absolutely have to do on a
command line...

Nobody told you that because masquerade doesn't do that.

I'd venture to guess that you've got some windoze box on your local
LAN, inside the "firewall" (masq box) that is infected with some
worm/virus, possibly BUGBEAR, possibly others. You ought to see
the number of hits my firewall gets from people trying to get IN
through it on port 137 I get several dozen a day, all from
either script-kiddies, or innocents who are infected and don't
know it.

redhat-config-network bug

[Todd A. Jacobs]

Has anyone found a workaround to the crashes in this configurator yet? 
It's in bugzilla many, many times, with nary a peep from the fine folks at 
Red Hat.

If there's no way around it in the configurator, what other options do I 
have for configuring my modem?

I don't think so, this might be a DHCP issue.

You're using iptables? Insert something like that into your firewall script:

# 
# the SMB table is executed for all NetBios related traffic
# 
/sbin/iptables -N SMB

# allow traffic to/from the specified IP's
/sbin/iptables -A SMB -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j ACCEPT  # xxx's machine
/sbin/iptables -A SMB -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A SMB -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xx -j ACCEPT   # yyy's machine
/sbin/iptables -A SMB -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xx -j ACCEPT

# and kill everything else
/sbin/iptables -A SMB -j DROP

# 
# the SILENTDROP table filters out all NetBios traffic
# 
/sbin/iptables -N SILENTDROP

/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p tcp --dport 137 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p tcp --dport 138 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p tcp --dport 139 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p tcp --dport 445 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p udp --dport 137 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p udp --dport 138 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p udp --dport 139 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p udp --dport 445 -j SMB

/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p tcp --sport 137 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p tcp --sport 138 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p tcp --sport 139 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p tcp --sport 445 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p udp --sport 137 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p udp --sport 138 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p udp --sport 139 -j SMB
/sbin/iptables -A SILENTDROP -p udp --sport 445 -j SMB


# 
# insert these at the top for the INPUT, OUTPUT, and FORWARD tables
# assuming eth0 is the interface to the internet, and eth1 to internal network
# 
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -j SILENTDROP
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -j SILENTDROP

RE: Log filtering

[Furnish, Trever G]

Probably a dead thread by now, but you should also check the logwatch 
package, which is probably already installed for you and running nightly.  
You ARE checking the mail sent to the root account, right?
 
Logwatch allows you to write your own little scripts (such as the grep 
statements others suggested) on a per logfile basis.  Common practice is to 
build up a list of the patterns you DON'T care about, exclude those, and 
summarize the rest in your output.  If your script has output (ie it finds 
a log message it hasn't been told to ignore), that output gets included in the 
nightly email sent to root.

It seems the 2.4.9-31 update has expired. You can only get the older

Like the warning says -- your current sendmail.cf is out of date (probably
created against a cf tree for 8.8.x).

The above is just a warning and is to be expected since you did not specify
a recipient.

To fix the sendmail.cf problem: You will need to find your current redhat
supplied sendmail.mc file (probably located in /usr/share/sendmail-cf) and
create a new sedmail.cf file against an 8.11.x cf tree using m4: Ex:

m4 path_to_sendmail-cf/cf/sendmail.mc >/etc/sendmail.cf.new
cp /etc/sendmail.cf /etc/sendmail.cf.orig
cp /etc/sendmail.new /etc/sendmail.cf

Note: sendmail-cf is an rpm. Also, the latest release of sendmail is 8.12.6.
Seriously consider upgrading.

This limit may need to be higher. Some quick poking around on my system 
shows that a process limit lower than about 10-15 *above* the desired 
amount will prevent things from running properly. I can't seem to find any 
documentation as to why this is, though.

If I have 41 processes running, and I set a ulimit in a single xterm, any 
value below 55 will prevent ls from running. If anyone can shed some light 
into this behavior, I'd sure appreciate it.

In the meantime, you may want to just stick with the priority limit.

Re: My 2 cents on Red Hat 8 & Blue Cruve

[rchrismon]

It is possible to ket KDE to run: First, if you read the README on the #1 RH 8.0 CD, there's an item for changing the display manager. It's a one-line addition to a config file someplace and VERY easy to do. Then, assuming you installed the KDE files, use the Gnome desktop switcher to change desktops. Be warned, however, that the RH 8.0 decoration of KDE looks almost exactly like BlueCurve. You can run the KDE control panel to make it look more like KDE but other than that, I've no problems with it. 

(Maybe someday I'll be weaned far enough from momma MS to use Gnome, or some other, less MS look alike desktop ;-) )

You can get the 2.4.9-31 kernel for redhat 7.1 and 7.2 at
rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-028.html.

This kernel has been superceded by 2.4.9-34 and 2.4.18-17.7.x, which are
available at rhn.redhat.com/errata/rh72-errata.html.  The newer kernels
have a lot of bug and security fixes, so it's probably best to use those
unless there is some compelling reason to stick with an older one.  I've
been using the stock 2.4.18 kernel for 7.2 since it came out last month
and it works fine.

well.

But when I tryed to install my soundcard (ForteMedia 801), with a

When I'm booting now appeared a new occurency of Linux in the LILO,
in that the sound's working but I cannot see the windows partition not

Re: need help with ~/.bash_profile

[gregory mott]

the shipped redhat(7.x) arrangement of bashrc's & profile's is confusing
and incorrectly documented.  i evolved to this solution:

discard /etc/skel/.bash_profile before creating any users
replace /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc

i leave /etc/skel/.bashrc in place.  it contains merely an invocation of
/etc/bashrc

similarly, my replacement /etc/profile merely contains an invocation of
~/.bashrc

for login shells, bash itself only invokes /etc/profile
for non login shells, bash itself only invokes ~/.bashrc

hence, in my setup, we get to /etc/bashrc in either case.  the
simplicity of this avoids much confusion about which shell invocations
are like logins and which aren't.  and i see no practical concern about
putting environment and function declarations all together.

otoh functions which in turn invoke aliases only work properly when the
file that defines them is conditionally invoked, not invoked if the
shell is not an interactive shell.  so, in my setup, all my stuff is
actually in /etc/bashrc+, which /etc/bashrc only invokes in interactive
shells.

my actual files are included below.

If you mean accessing those files over the network from your linux box, SAMBA would be 
the way.

"touch" is the utility you're looking for. Check "info touch" for detailed
arguments.

changing date stamp on a file

[Sudhaker P]

Hi,
Is there any way we can change the date stamp on a file to a specific time? 
Please forgive my dumb question.

I'd appreciate your suggestions.


Thanks,

Peram

Sendmail problem ?

[RH]

Hello,
 
I run Rh 7.1.
When I do sendmail 
-v, I get the following 
Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.11.2 supports version 9, 
.cf file is version 8Recipient names must be specified
 
What does it mean, and what shall I do, to have sendmail working 
normally.
 
Thanks

If you are running Red Hat 8, At the login screen in the lower left 
corner, click Session. A Dialog will open asking you which desktop you 
want. Choose and be happy.
