IBM Thinkpad T23: linux-wlan-ng with Prism 2.5 chipset andredhat-config-network

2003-02-13 Thread Rodolfo J. Paiz
Hi!

I have managed to use a SRPM to make an RPM, and installed linux-wlan-ng
drivers for my Wi-Fi 802.11b adapter using the SRPM found here:

http://prism2.unixguru.raleigh.nc.us/

The interface came up as 'wlan0' and works great, assuming an Access
Point with no encryption. So far so good. However:

 o kudzu detects no new hardware
 o redhat-config-network shows no new hardware
 o I cannot use the "Profiles" with my new wireless adapter
 o I cannot easily shut it down when I want to use _only_ my wired LAN

Can anyone offer advice on either helping the Red Hat config tool see my
new card, or on manually shutting down the radio on the adapter or
creating multiple config files for it?

Thanks in advance!

Patience grasshoppers. I've been using Linux since 5.2, but it is only now
that what I'm reading and seeing around me here in Perth, Australia, that
I'm beginning to see a huge amount of light at the end of my tunnel.

Mark my words. It will not be as long as I once thought that software
companies not developing for Linux WILL get left behind.

Amen to that Todd! Please note I do not disagree with you.

However, it is a shame 845 is not supported properly. I have to admit I love
the boards. Stable as a rock.

But, yes, I've thrown an old TNT2 in my server to have no hassles with X.

That should be after the normal users, but isn't required on any recent

Nero is windows only, is it not? Discussing windows apps is a little off

CD burning apps are an area that linux really lacks in, but to be fair I
cant even get Nero to work on w2k. :)

Is your video card even supported? Is the garbling only in X, or at your
console, too? If you have trouble at the console, it's either your video
card or your monitor/cabling.

If you have on-board video, have you tried using a PCI or AGP video card
instead?

NIS passwords

2003-02-13 Thread Kirby Clements
This is an issue regarding NIS - if this is not appropriate for this 
list, no fret taken.

I am having trouble finding out which line to put into /etc/passwd and 
/etc/group and so on. I have read that the line: +::
 will work for all users in the passwd file, as long as one places 
it before all normal users. I have been trying to use the line for one 
user, not to break anyone else's account momentarily, as the following: 
 +tom::  and I have tried +tom:*:
  None of this is causing issues on the NIS server, and the server 
is also the client. I have one other box running as a client as well, 
ofcourse, and all is well as far as rpc goes, rpc.yppasswd on the 
master, and ypbind, etc. These boxes are updated from the RHN as of 
yesterday.

So, the test is to change the passwd with passwd only, not yppasswd (I 
have just read - apperently built in now to ypserv ?), and then I go to 
the other client box and see if I can log in with the new password. Is 
this correct, or rather, shouldn't this be an example of how to use 
NIS? I am feeling that something with the actual passwd and group files 
is not being done right. As well, nsswitch.conf has not been touched, 
apparently only for NIS+. The domainname has been set and ypwhich 
recognizes everything. Any clues would be cool. I cannot seem to find 
one solid answer on the lines needed for the files that use the maps.

/boot/module-info files

2003-02-13 Thread Fredo
Hi,

I was searching on module-info creation too.
After customizing a kernel for RH7.3 a new custom /boot/module-info 
files was missing. I guess it is installed automatically after 
installing a new kernel-package but it also can be created manually 
with modinfo as part of anaconda. Creating a kernel yourself 
won't do the job. The machine booted anyway without any problem.
Since the redhat installer "anaconda" and related files are not present 
on the machine I guess it won' t be needed.

For your information:
I found something on module-info with an earlier RH kernel version at:
http://www.mit.edu/afs/sipb/system/rhlinux/redhat-
6.2/misc/src/trees/updmodules

best rgds,
Fred

You can report bugs on bugzilla.redhat.com.  Make sure you do an
_extensive_ search before you post a bug because most of the time
somebody has already had your problem.  Heck they may even have a work
around listed or maybe the Red Hat developers have posted a fix in
rawhide.

Bugzilla, it's your friend.

Re: To firewall or not to firewall (was Re: What is the disadvantage of Linux firewall...)

2003-02-13 Thread Edward Dekkers
Sigh. I don't normally get into this sort of thing, so I'll make it quick.

A simple iptables script that doesn't allow anything to come in from the
external interface generally takes me less than 5 minutes to set up (less if
I just copy it from another box).

The cost of 5 minutes of my day can be far outweighted by a rooted box
because 'oops - we missed something'. It could mean going on-site and
re-setting up the box again fully from scratch to be safe.

Firewall? Cheapest insurance my customers pay.

As per his original post, he has one of those 845 Intel Extreme chipset
graphics. I know a lot of people have had problems with that. He's already
said he's downloaded the drivers from the Intel site, but the problems
persists.

I'm thinking the drivers are NOT installed properly by the sounds of it.

Last time I had problems like that (with a Yamaha CRW 8824, as it
happens, and a Adaptec 2940UW, later 2940U2W), I seemed to be some kind of 
"dislike" between the SCSI DVD and the rest - I moved the DVD to the end
of the chain (where I had a Plextor Ultraplex 40 before) and everything
started working again.

The time before that (same setup, without the DVD), I got the problems
'cause aparently the SCSI cable was bad (at least the problems went
away after changing the cable - even though I've used the same cable
for hard drives for ages...).

I still have the feeling that I'm having more of these problems since
I've upgraded from RHL 6.2 to 7.3, though the seem to have gotten less
since the latest kernel updates...

Basically, you're not alone - and while over the years I found SCSI to
be a lot more reliable and easier to set up than IDE, it still *can*
be voodoo sometimes. Maybe you ran into such a case. I'd definitely
try swapping drives around (i.e. move a different one to the end of
the chain). I'd also try a different cable in any case. Another thing
would be to check whether your SCSI adapter has options to reduce the
interface speed for the writer and play with that. Sorry that I don't
have any specific suggestions, but sometimes throwing ideas around can
help, too... :-}

Cheerio,

I had a problem with the hardware browser, which I reported to RH

and was fixed by editing a config file with the added definition for the
firewire card.

The exact details can be found by looking on the redhat bugzilla

eth0 failure

2003-02-13 Thread karl rentsch
Hi all,

I'm having trouble getting my ethernet to work after swapping motherboards.
New details are:
- NEXCOM Peak 650 single board computer
- Integrated Intel 82559 ethernet
- RH 6.0
>From what I've found out I should be using the EtherExpressPro/100 (eepro100.o)
driver.

At boot the ethernet initialisation is delayed and ifconfig shows that eth0 
does not exist.  I tried to modprobe the eepro100.o driver but get a message 
something like "module init is busy".  Since lsmod shows no eepr100 I figured 
this was due to an IRQ or ioport conflict however /proc/pci shows the 
ethernet controller (IRQ=11 & IO=0xc000), but /proc/interrupts does not show 
any conflicting device on IRQ 11.

I'm a little new to this and am starting to run out of ideas.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks,

Karl Rentsch
PS. Upgrading to a newer version of RH is a last resort due to other setups.

Is your video card even supported? Is the garbling only in X, or at your
console, too? If you have trouble at the console, it's either your video
card or your monitor/cabling.

If you have on-board video, have you tried using a PCI or AGP video card
instead?

Hmmm... it's been a while since I've futzed w/ NFS, and *not* w/ my eMac
yet.

First suggestion:  try man mount, to make sure that you have the syntax
right.  It looks correct, but I don't have a *nix box in front of me as I
type this, so YMMV.  The way I remember doing it was like:

mount -t nfs lansvr:/home /home

Another thing that drove me up the wall w/ RH and their ipchains firewall
tool was that by default, it blocks part of the NFS communication, making it
damn hard(impossible?) to mount anything.  Try disabling the firewall on the
RedHat machine, and possibly on the OS X machine as well, and try it again.
Then you can figure out which firewall was blocking you.  But I think the
request just times out when the firewall is being a PITA.  

In any event, try the Linux Documentation Procect (www.tldp.org) NFS-HOWTO.

HTH,

Monte

Seems pretty clear that libraries.claremont.edu is refusing your SMTP 
connections for some reason. You can try a manual SMTP connection, or 
contact the postmaster for help.

When you say "flickering" do you mean you may see the colors and such of
what would make a good display but the screen is not stable?

If so, then it sounds as if the refresh settings in your XF86Config file
is incorrect.  What are the specs for your monitor and how does that
compare with what is in the file?

RE: email

2003-02-13 Thread Joe Polk
 Okay, first do you have any firewalls setup? Did you choose any type of
 security settings upon install? Also, are there any DNS entries out
 there for you? For instance, if you ping you server by
 name.yourdomain.com can it be seen outside your LAN? Where is your name
 record registered? Is there a DNS record for you on the nameservers you
 specified for your record? You can have mail setup and running but if no
 one can find you and you can't find anyone via DNS then little will
 happen. Start are your /etc/hosts file and make sure you have an entry
 for your server and it's static IP (this is in addtion to 127.0.0.1
 localhost).

Re: Running .exe files on RH8

WINE can run some .exe files, but to run Windows games you may want to
check out http://www.transgaming.com/ or look for Linux binaries of your
favorite games. Unreal Tournament, Quake3, and many others offer Linux
binaries and ports for their games.

Generally speaking, you don't.  Completely different operating systems,
filesystem structures, memory management, etc.  *nix systems in general
don't rely on the M$ convention of file name suffixes to determine what the
file is (i.e. *.exe = executable), which is a relic from the old 8.3 file
name limitations, which hasn't been an issue in *nix systems for many years,
AFAIK).

That said, there are some ways to work around this.  Either use an emulator
such as Virtual PC, or VMWare that actually runs a full version of a 'guest'
operating system on the host machine, in a virtual sandbox (so when the game
causes the M$ OS to crap itself, it doesn't affect the host machine at all),
or there is the Wine Project (Commercial equivalent is the CodeWeavers
CrossOver plugin $25) that allows you to run some Windows programs on Linux.
Not every program works w/ this approach, and in either case, games tend to
push the envelope the hardest, making them the least likely to work
correctly.

Good luck,

Monte

Re: email

2003-02-13 Thread Raymundo M. Vega
There are several things you can check:

- is sendmail daemon running?
- check /var/log/messages for clues
- MX record is needed only to receive email without hostname,
  just domainname on the envelope

this for now post some more information like the output
of:

ps -axp | grep 25

this should show if the daemon is running, what address it is bind to
etc.

also try telnet localhost 25

and post results


hope it helps

Can't mount volume on Mac OS 10.3 server

2003-02-13 Thread Werner Morawitz
I'm running redhat Linux 7.2, and am trying to mount
an nfs volume being exported by a Mac OS 10.3 server.

at the command prompt, as root:
I use the command mount:
mount -t nfs xserver:/Fileserver /serverhome

and get the error message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock onf
xserver:/Fileserver or too many mounted systems.

As far as I can tell, there aren't too many mounted
systems (on the client, or server).

Any ideas on how to proceed would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Werner

Re: Users accounts

2003-02-13 Thread Ze Ji Li
Hi there,

For nfs: man mount, man exports, man nfs and http://www.google.com. :)

on your old_system:
1) make sure your nfs daemon and file locking stuff running
2) modify your /etc/exports so your file_system can be mounted on the
new_system

on your new_system:
1) make sure your portmap is running
2) mount old_system:/file_system /mount_point

as for tar:
you can just tar the whole dir up, ftp them over the new_system and extract
them.

YMMV

When you are in X-windows (and I assume you are) you have to 
use "Ctrl-Alt-F1" to get to virtual console 1 which is normally
reached by pressing "Alt-F1".

You can return to X-windows from there by pressing "Alt-F7"

"Ctrl-Alt-" will get you to that virtual console
from X-windows, but ordinary installs will not have anything on
F7 - f12 console so all you will get is a blank screen 
on those upper end consoles.

If you're in X, use CTRL-ALT-F instead. ALT-F1 is usually mapped to 
virtual screens by the window manager.

Re: To firewall or not to firewall (was Re: What is the disadvantage of Linux firewall...)

2003-02-13 Thread Shannon Neumann
I have been following this thread all day with equal amounts of amusement
and contempt.  First of all, let me say that I by no means think that
firewalls are the silver bullet solution for network security.  As others
have pointed out, firewalls can cause a false sense of security in some
cases.  However, saying that Redhat is "secure enough" out of the box is
like saying that the locks on my car are good enough, so why should I have
an alarm?  The answer is because it makes the other guy (the one with no
alarm [firewall]) an easier target.  Face it, if I have a decent firewall
in place that drops all incoming packets and you have even a single port
open, then you are going to the target and I am not.

Also, the attitude that "Windows sucks and Linux rocks" is the kind of
elitist notion that drives many potention linux converts back to Windows. 
It sounds like you have blind faith in a Operating system that is equally
capable of being cracked.  Again, don't get me wrong.  My non-windows
boxes outnumber my Windows machines 4 to 1, but that doesn't mean that
Windows is not the right tool for certain jobs.

Just my 2 pennies.

Sure, if you write yourself a custom redirector and bind it to port 80, 
and configure both squid and apache to listen on other ports.

Run "set -x" before running your command, so that you can see how bash is 
expanding your command line. My guess is that the files that aren't

passing data from html form to a php script

2003-02-13 Thread Rick Henderson
Hello all.  My first question to the list.  Hope someone can help.  Here it
is.


I have a that runs via php system command.  The process picks up values from
php which got them from an html form.  It works no problem on rh7.1.  But on
rh8.0, it does not work.  There is a diff ver of php, older on 7.1 of
course.

The problem is that the variables do not have a value on the php4.2.2 but
they do have a value on 4.0.0p11 

here is an example of the machine 7.1 that works

tyler rdh: bash-2.04$ unitcd="WY" export unitcd
tyler rdh: bash-2.04$ ./view.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.4pl1
Content-type: text/html

WY_roster.html
tyler rdh: bash-2.04$

now an example of the machine 8.0 where php does not work
[rdh@ford ins]$ unitcd="WY" export unitcd
[rdh@ford ins]$ ./view.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.2
Content-type: text/html

_roster.html
[rdh@ford ins]$

 I would agree that there is something to be said for learning to batten
 down your linux boxen. However, keeping things  behind a firewall is
 just good practice. Yes, it may give one a false sense of security, but
 it also gives one a safe place to learn and grow; i.e. behind the
 firewall. With a firewall, you can limit the ports available from the
 outside straight away. True you can do that with a Linux box from the
 outset, but there may be things you want to do in the meantime that
 require those services.  I think in general, having a firewall in place 
 is always a plus and having more of them limits the number of hacked
 boxes and launching pads for other exploits. No it's not a cure-all, as
 so many have pointed out. But I'd still recommend everyone having one.

A packet filter is a packet filter. Some of the commercial firewalls
support integrated proxies and a nice GUI. They also cost a lot more. You
can spend a couple hundred for a cheap box with Linux and iptables and
SOCKS, or $15,000 for a Nokia box with Check Point. Neither is "better."
They're different products.

And Red Hat is *not* haredened out of the box; you will need to do that
yourself or with the help of a tool like Bastille. Then again, a Solaris
or Windows box isn't "hardened" out of the box, either...even if you load
Check Point on it. If you want a somewhat-hardened system out of the box, 
use OpenBSD.

Define your security requirements, and then see which product will meet
your needs better. If you don't understand your security requirements, you
can't make an informed decision. And for heaven's sake, don't leave your
security decisions up to random strangers on the net.

Hello,

  I'm having some trouble with some old pspell library files.  I tar'd 
up the old files, then removed them from /usr/lib.  I then ran ldconfig. 
 However, when I do a 'locate libpspell', it still shows the old

make these go away so that my system won't think they are there?

My problem with the method you propose is that it requires you to be
able to determine vulnerabilities before they happen.Say you are
attending a Linux Expo, or some other event that takes you away from
your machine(s) for the day. That morning a vulnerability is announced
that has an exploit. Your machine(s) is(are) vulnerable until you update
it. If it is a network exploitable vulnerability.

Specific? Well, do you like to print, and run lpd? it's had problems in
the past.

It's maintainer was at work, and it was a home machine running the
vulnerable LPRng and did not update the machine until they were a) aware
of the problem, and b) able to update to a fixed version. For example:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-089.html


An example clipped from an incident report:
--
Port 515 on our network was scanned from uiowa.edu over the weekend. 
Here's some information on the LPRng exploits attempted against several 
RedHat Linus 7.x hosts. The intruder attempts to create a file called 
/dev/whoa/reg. It looks like they intend for reg to open port 8282 with 
root privileges. They then edit xinetd.conf file and restart xinetd to 
open the port. Evidence of these changes was cleared from compromised 
hosts once the intruder installed his kit. A password protected guest 
account with a GID of 0 was created on one compromised host. The 
following files were also changed: du, find, ls, netstat, passwd, ping, 
psr, and su. 
-

Running X-Windows on said system? Uh-oh, there's another potential
problem (especially if xdm was enabled).

Ascii-only email/web? Pine, Mutt (CAN-2002-0001) and lynx have had their
problems w/security as well. Pam has had it's problems, which in at
least one case allowed users to get another's access credentials.

The problem with your method is that it does not "think like a cracker".
It "thinks" like someone who believes they are faster and superior to
the cracking ability. IMO, that is as bad as relying solely on a
firewall. Security is not an item, it is a process and mindset. 

While it is true for all systems that there is a period of vulnerability
between the finding/reporting of the vulnerability/exploit and the
updating of the system, by not using a firewall, you pile more openings
on top of ones that affect, for example, bind or mod_ssl. There are
exploits that allow the remote attacker to get a non-root local access.
Combine this with a local-root exploit and bam, You have a problem.

IMO, this is as dangerous as "we have a firewall, who cares?".

The official site for the Linux ACL project is at

I wrote a short post describing how to make and keep a Red Hat system

You assert that it won't work.  OK, be specific.  Reread what I

Tell me how it got rooted during time.  Be specific.

With all due respect, not only is that a very misguided attitude, it's a
dangerous one to promulgate.

No, a firewall is NOT the be-all and end-all of security; no tool
can be.  Security is a mindset and a process, not a bunch of tools.

In that process, for systems exposed to the outside world--or even
within an organization with different divisions or departments that
require compartmentalization--a firewall provides a critical control
and auditing point.

Read what you said--effectively, RedHat has had to preen dozens of
packages, each and every one of which may be network-capable, written
by people with a wide disparity of skills, approaches, and experience.
At any time, you may load, upgrade, or remove components from the
system--or even make a change to the configuration alone that opens one
or more of these to intrusion.  There IS no way to protect against this
in all cases--specifically, anything you've explicitly permitted to access
the world outside your firewall has to be watched--but at least inadvertent
exposure is prevented by a proper firewall.

Probably the thing that most distresses me about your attitude is
that your system is the kind that gets owned and causes ME problems.
Or maybe you're very, very vigilant and quite knowledgable, and spend
your spare time auditing the system and watching the logs, and are lucky
enough not to get owned.  Even so, you're taking a more labor-intensive
and risky road, and are still more likely to have an error open you to a
cracker.

But much worse, you're telling--encouraging--evangelizing for OTHER people
to do it your way.  And of all the people out there, I can guarantee
you that there are many who will NOT be able to audit their systems,
will NOT be able to button them down and *keep* them buttoned down.  You're
doing us all a great disservice.

Unless, of course, you're really a cracker and are encouraging this to make
your life easier; then you're providing a service to *your* community.

Try this:
Change the icon command line to /usr/bin/kppp 
as root, change the permissions on/usr/bin/kppp to allow users or a new
group to execute
make the same change of permissions on /usr/bin/consolehelper
if necessary create the icon for kppp on the desktop, rather than the
taskbar (if you're using kde; if you're using gnome this may not be
necessary)
HTH,
Mike

Re: AS/400 and Redhat

2003-02-13 Thread Dean Hoffman
Not sure about the hardware, but the earliest software version of an AS400
that will support Linux in V5R1 (this one is V3R7).  To get V5R1 from IBM
would be a very expensive process unless you have software subscription on
this box (which I doubt).  Also you must have the 400 operating system on it
and you have to create an LPAR to install Linux (not a particular easy
task). An IBM link on implementation of Linux for a 400 is:

http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/sg246232.html?
Open

Hope this helps.Dean

Kppp Jams taskbar when not loged in as root?

2003-02-13 Thread Wayne Lampiasi
I am having a problem with kppp.  when I log in as root, I can connect to the net. when I log in under
my main user profile, kppp won't load without asking
for the root password. Even after giving redhat the root password kppp then connect's to the net and jams my taskbar freezing my icons ???
This does not happen when loged in as root.
I tried using redhat.config.user apps to change my user id and group to a higher level, but I am doing
somthing wrong. ??

Redhat Phoebe, USB 2 Hard Drive

2003-02-13 Thread Weekley, Arnold (C)(STP)
I just purchased a new system. It has a  MSI KT3 Ultra2 KT333 Socket A Mainboard,
an AMD Athlon 2100+ processor and a 80gb Western Digital drive.
 
I've loaded Phoebe (Beta 2) for testing. In general, things look good. The
primary problem I'm having is when I copy files from an Iomega USB 2 Hard drive
(40gb) to my home directory, the copy locks up after copying for awhile. When
it locks up, I can still perform other system functions, but cannot kill the
copy and cannot browse the usb hard drive. I've done a , logged
in as root and executed "halt". The system won't shutdown though, because it
says /home is busy and can't be unmounted. I've had to turn the power off to
finish the shutdown. I can do this (hard shutdown) while testing, but would
rather not when I make the system my primary computer.

I searched google and found that there are some USB 2 issues with kernels prior
to 2.4.21-pre3, in particular with the VIA USB controller.

My primary question is: Is there a way I can force a clean shutdown when 
unmount won't?

2nd question is: Does anybody know if Redhat will be incorporating the USB
fixes in 8.1 final? I plan on submitting a bug to bugzilla tonight, but thought
I'd ask.

Enough if you use text mode. I run a good firewall on a Pentium/166 with
64 MB, a 1GB EIDE disk, and two 10 Mbps NIC's. So far my 40 users aren't
complaining at all. :-)

If you are asking this type of question, you probably want to at least
try out some of the packages which build you a firewall configuration.
It's not that hard to make a mistake.

Personally, I would recommend that you use Shorewall (www.shorewall.net)
to build your firewall. Very simple to use and pretty secure.

Linux is more flexible and more capable. You will be able to get a
better picture of what your users do, detect abuse, provide proxying,
block spam, and do other stuff should you so desire. (You don't
necessarily want to do all this, but you can.) Linux is also cheaper
overall and, if the box breaks, you can have another one online in 30
minutes.

The prebuilt firewalls are more expensive, more limited, and not as
easily replaceable. However, they are easier to use if you have no
experience and do provide a quick, functional, drop-in solution. Look at
stuff like the Netgear FR318, which for $150 will give you an 8-port
switch in addition to a firewall with stateful inspection, DHCP, and
NAT.

I would recommend Linux, but be aware that this will require more
learning and more of a time investment on your part to ensure you
understand what you're running. If you don't have that time or don't
want to put in the effort, either get someone else to build it for you
or buy one of the prebuilt things.

RE: CDWriter Speed

2003-02-13 Thread ric
I've found with mine, that cdrecord pretty much defaults to the proper
speed. Even if I try to set to "wrong" (to high for example), it will
correct, and use the proper speed.

I'd suggest no worrying about it. Put a blank disk in, and give it a whirl
(pun intended). See what it does. It may not be as bing an issue as you
think.

RedHat 7.3, PHP, and Pspell

2003-02-13 Thread John Nichel
Hello guys and gals,

  I'm having a slight problem compiling PHP 4.3 "--with-pspel" on a 7.3 
machine  The install of aspell .50.x and the English language file went 
fine, and php configure's fine.  However, about half way thru compiling 
PHP, I get the below errors.  Anyone know why this may be happening?  I 
posted this on PHP's mailing list yesterday, but all I got back was

CDWriter Speed

I have a CDWriter that was just laying around that I just put in my 

computer, the problem is I don't remember what speed it is, and

a search on google doesn't help either. Is there any way to read

like a /proc variable or something to try and figure it out?



It's an internal SCSI one, so I already tried reading /proc/scsi/scsi

without luck, it just gives name info, no speed.



I'd appreciate any ideas.

No we don't (with or without smilies), I do not advise a firewall
unless you are trying to protect some MS Windows garbage and that is a
losing battle you are better off not trying to fight.  

These days Red Hat ships quite secure.  Keep it up to date, use good
passwords--passwords that you don't reuse elsewhere, turn off services
you don't use, and be extremely careful about customizing things you
don't understand or you can quickly open up holes Red Hat carefully
didn't open.  Be a bit nervous about Open Office and its scripting, it
is new and might start supporting some MS scripting nasties.  Be
nervous about Javascript, it is not Java and was not designed with
security in mind.  Use a dumb e-mail program that doesn't try to do
fancy stuff for you, ASCII text e-mail is safe, the fancier you get
beyond that the riskier it is.

Do all that and what do you need a firewall for?  Have a firewall and
you will be complacent and not do all that but still be vulnerable to
many risks.

Firewalls are treated as single magic bullets when security has to be
bit by bit.  A big part of being secure in Red Hat is the enormous
work Red Hat has done on all the bits.

RHN Notification Tool and Kernel ?

2003-02-13 Thread Stone, Timothy
I have recently updated my 7.0 box to 8.0. So far so good...

In the interest of making sure that my RHL 8.0 install was up to snuff with some of 
the latest security fixes I executed RHN from the GNOME Panel (pulsing red "!"). 
Everything was updated *except* I skipped the kernel updates.

Now having skipped the kernel updates what kind of hiccups lurk in the corners if I 
now choose to update the kernel, post updating everything else? (Reason: I routinely 
build packages from source for this box and as I have never played with kernel 
updating/customization...something about the RHN blurb has me fearing a kernel update 
and not being able to build new programs or run existing ones.)

Thanks in advance for advice!

Warmest Regards,
Tim

Re: What is the disadvantage of Linux firewall, rather then using ready to use firewall (checkpoint, trustix, cyberguard, watchguard etc)

No we don't (with or without smilies), I do not advise a firewall
unless you are trying to protect some MS Windows garbage and that is a
losing battle you are better off not trying to fight.  

These days Red Hat ships quite secure.  Keep it up to date, use good
passwords--passwords that you don't reuse elsewhere, turn off services
you don't use, and be extremely careful about customizing things you
don't understand or you can quickly open up holes Red Hat carefully
didn't open.  Be a bit nervous about Open Office and its scripting, it
is new and might start supporting some MS scripting nasties.  Be
nervous about Javascript, it is not Java and was not designed with
security in mind.  Use a dumb e-mail program that doesn't try to do
fancy stuff for you, ASCII text e-mail is safe, the fancier you get
beyond that the riskier it is.

Do all that and what do you need a firewall for?  Have a firewall and
you will be complacent and not do all that but still be vulnerable to
many risks.

Firewalls are treated as single magic bullets when security has to be
bit by bit.  A big part of being secure in Red Hat is the enormous
work Red Hat has done on all the bits.


-kb, the Kent who considers firewalls medieval.

RE: RPM and dependancies

2003-02-13 Thread Ronald Hermans
Thanx. The message about apt-for-rpm etc came just after I posted my last
message.
I'm checking that out now.

Thanx list, for the help.

I think that someone has already metioned apt-for-rpm and use the apt-get.
This tends to resolve all dependecies well enough and it is console based.

Download it from http://freshrpms.net/apt/
