RE: How Can I change the network speed? (10Mb or 100 Mb)

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

does anyone know if seting the speed with mii-tool will keep the settings
after rebooting? (Never had to reset my box yet so I don't know what it
does, ain't linux great.)

Heck I don't know...I've never had a problem with SAMBA, but a coworker was
saying that it would be faster if you ran SMB directly over ip without
NetBIOS in the middle. From what I understand this is a feature Microsoft
implemented starting with windows 2000.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q204279

I was just wondering if SAMBA supported this feature or if it is in the
works for future releases.

Does anyone know if the samba team has implemented SMB over TCP/IP directly

RE: Samba Questions

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

You will need to setup password encryption and add a generic user to your
linux system(.i.e, smbguest).

Map the default or guest account to the user you created on the linux
system.

The files to be read by everyone will also need to be readable by the Linux
user you have mapped to guest account.

RE: question

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

This sounds to me like a job for chown, find and xargs. You should be able
to find all of the files owned by a specific user and then pipe them to
xargs with the proper chown command as an argument.

Can you explain why you want to do this? From what I understand you have a
user com and you want to change the ownership of the files to someone else
say fred. I don't believe you really need to change the ownership of the
files to change the username. I would think you could change the username in
the password and shadow files or just add a user with the same userid.  As I
understand it the file ownership is determined by the userid number not the
username so associating a new name to the same number should work.

Now if you are trying to change the files for a web domain...this is a
different animal and is has nothing to do with Redhat, but rather the linux
filesystem. You'll have to change the ownership recursively for each domain.

As for your comments to the others on this list, many of whom have been a
great benefit to the community, you have the right to unsubscribe! They were
trying to better understand your question so they could give you a more
sufficient or appropriate answer. Saying Redhat sucks because you can't
figure out how to change the ownership of files on a LINUX filesystem makes
no since to me. The fundamentals are all the same despite the distribution.
Please take a moment to breath and let people help rather than blowing up at
them after all "romper room" was an educational show for preschoolers not a
community support system where understanding the problem in detail is
important.

Don't know if this applies, but how and when did you become the root user?
If by chance you cd'd into the cdrom and then su'd to root the original bash
shell is in the cdrom directory even if you leave from the root account.
Consquently, the system will not umount the cd because it is use.

More Bridge questions

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

I have the bridge comming up and the STP protocol is in the forwarding state
instead of disabled. I still can not ping the other network though and I
don't know why ... no packets are being forwarded by the bridge.

I do get the macs of the computers and router from the other side of the
bridge in my mac table so I don't know what is going on. Does anyone have
any ideas??

Can an interface that is bridged be used as a standard interface as well or
can it only be used as a bridge interface?

Bridging problems

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

I am finally getting around to trying this and am running into problems. I
have VTUN setup and it is connecting two linux boxes together. The setup
looks like the following:

[Linux 1] (eth0)-> [internet] ---> [linksys router]
  | (eth1 192.168.1.254)  | (LINKSYS 192.168.1.1)
  | (tap1 192.168.1.253) / \
  | [other hosts]   \   (eth0 192.168.1.5)
  |  \  (eth1 NO IP)
  |   \ (tap1 192.168.1.6)
[private net][LINUX]

What I have done is to setup vtun to establish and ethernet tunnel between
the two linux machines. After setting up the tunnel the scripts on linux
servers place both eth1 and tap1 interfaces into promiscous mode. A bridge
named vpn is then created and the tap1 and eth1 interfaces are added to the
bridge.

The problem is that no packets are fowarded through the bridge? There is
very little documentation on how to setup a tunneling bridge that I have run
across so any help would be appreciated as I don't know where I am going
wrong.

I don't believe what you are trying to do is possible as you are correct

Creating loopback devices

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

I deleted my folder of cool stuff by mistake and lost the thread on how to
do this. IIRC linux has 16 loopback devices does increasing this to 32
require a recompile of the kernel or can you specify the number as a
parameter upon boot.

Thanks,

I've been using WebFolders and DreamWeaver. DreamWeaver seems to handle it

I have not had this problem at home...wierd. Same system all updates ..
different behavior. I must have something setup differently.

  I set up a Samba

  Windows computers, but I can't see the Samba server.  I can ping the 
  Samba server however and I don't have any IPCHAINS blocking it.  The

RE: BYOB [WAS RE: Wireless lan cards?]

I guess I would still like a little more information everyone addressed one
and two, excellently, I might add, but I guess what I was thinking is that
this is just a stepping stone for security...It keeps those who are not
trying to forcefully or rather intentionally gain access to your network
from doing so.

Now my question becomes if you are trying to build a wireless bridge or
accesspoint using linux what are your options for software that would
authenticate the allowed clients (#3)?

I honestly don't know what the possiblities are for a linux box? would
setting up cipe or vtun be sufficient if you block all other traffic or are
there better options and if you have done the install how difficult is it to
setup a secure solution using linux?

Thanks again,

Actually it is not my box someone just asked me how to recover from this,
problem is I have never encountered this before and consequently don't know
the process. Since I have been using linux for a while I thought it would
provide a good learning experience. Also, since the box is not a production
machine we have time to learn otherwise he'd just reinstall his operating
system.

So next question... I have this somewhere, but can not find it. What is the
command to boot from a rescue cd and mount sda1 as the root partition? and
is there a doc somewhere on this process?

BYOB [WAS RE: Wireless lan cards?]

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

Linux is known for being able to act as almost anything (bridge, router,
firewall, etc.). My question is that if someone wanted to Build Your Own
[wireless] Bridge what would they need to do to make it secure? I've been
following this thread and can summarize it into the follow three steps.

1. Setup DHCP to only assign IPs to specific MAC Addresses

2. Setup IPTABLES to filter on matching MAC / IP Pairs

3. Setup Authentication software to authenticate the client.

Now the questions:

Given this list what could be done to improve the security of the system?

What other security setups should be taken?

What software could be used for step 3 that is available for multi-platform
networks and how difficult would it be to setup securely?

Thanks,
Chad

If this is something you want publicly available at the FQDN you mentioned
you will have to put the entry in the DNS. Putting the entry in your hosts
file will allow your machine to resolve the name and view the pages, but
other machines will still need to use the ip address.

Either make sure the DNS entry is correct or that the ip and hostname are

This is caused by MySQL's authentication mechanism. It will, I believe, give
you the same error whether you are using perl or php or the mysql client on
a remote machine.

In order to log into the server from a remote client you will have to grant
access to a user from the client. You can also grant access to a user from
anymachine, but it would be most likely be more secure to limit access. Look
at the mysql docs for the GRANT command and it will explain the process
better that I ever could.

Apache user CGIs

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

I am trying to figure out the safest method to allow users to execute CGI
scripts. My first thought was to use a ScriptAliasMatch to move all of the
users cgi-bin directory out of the public_html directory, but the SuExec
mechanism will not allow this.

My second thought was to turn on the "AddHandler cgi-script cgi" but does
this pose a security risk?

What I did was to add a directory statement for
"/home/*/public_html/cgi-bin" and added the option ExecCGI.

I have it working I am just wanting input into the security aspect of this?
I am the only user of the system so it is not aspect for this system, but in
a production environment what would be the best solution for allowing users
execute their own CGIs.

init-2.05# on reboot

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

I just installed rh7.2 on my desktop and the installation seems to go fine,
but then it does not restart properly. Grub loads and the init process
starts and then it stopps at the following:

EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 220k freed
init-2.05#

This gives me a prompt, but the system never finishes loading. Does anyone
know what I could have messed up.

By the way the only thing different I have done (HW wise) from previous
installs is add a 40GB HD. /, swap, /usr, and /var are all on a five GB disk
and /home, /usr/local, and /var/local are all on the 40GB.

Thanks,
Chad

RE: stupid ximian gnome question

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

Move quick! I moved my window above the top panel so I could see what you
were talking about and found that if I move the mouse quickly it would not
bring the panel to the front.

2nd option: slide xmms ontop of the panel on top of the play list. Then move
across xmms and the play list should be on top of the xmms window so you can
grap it and move it out of the panel area. Then you should be able to move
xmms off the panel as well.

Another option if you have samba running is to setup a samba share that will
accept a ps file and automatically convert it to a pdf. There are a couple
of sites that document this, but the short of it is you need to write a new
printer section in your samba config and override the default print
commands. Mine looks like the following:

[pdf_maker]
   comment = create a pdf file
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   guest ok = no
   printable = yes
   print command = /usr/local/bin/pdfmaker %H %s
   lppause command = ""
   lpresume command = ""
   lprm command = ""
   queuepause command = ""
   queueresume command = ""

Then you will need to have a script for the print command to execute, mine
is fairly simple and I am sure there are better ways to do this.

pdfmaker
---
#!/bin/sh

# Parameters
# $1 - users home directory
# $2 - samba spool file

   PDF_DIR="pdf_files"
   PS2PDF="/usr/bin/ps2pdf"
   SAMBA_SPOOL_DIR="/var/spool/samba"

# Create the target directory for the pdf
# file if it does not exist

   if ! [ -d ${1}/${PDF_DIR} ]; then
  makdir -p ${1}/${PDF_DIR}
   fi

# Convert the spool file to a pdf

   ${PS2PDF} ${SAMBA_SPOOL_DIR}/${2} ${1}/${PDF_DIR}/${2}.pdf

# Remove the samba spool file

   rm ${SAMBA_SPOOL_DIR}/${2}

-

This creates a folder in my home share called pdf_files that contains pdf
files for each of the print jobs sent to the samba printer.

testing for a user in a script?

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

I am trying to create a SPEC file for a server and need to add a user for
the server to run under. I know I can do "useradd -r " and create
the user, how would I test to make sure this user does not exist before I
create it. Or, does it even matter since useradd won't add to users with the
same username? (Seems like it would be better to test for the name first.)

Thanks,
Chad

I've been looking for a reference to this in the docs, but seem to be
overlooking it. Do you know what doc this is can be found in?

Whoa! Looked all over that a while back and don't remember seeing it at all.
I guess I need to start with the basic components and work up from there
huh! Thanks this should help a great deal.

Confused, multihomed machine?

My thought was that the brige would run over a tunnel established between
the two linux boxes. Since bridges are transparent it should not matter that
it is not the router.

What would happen if I setup one network on 192.168.1.0 the other on
192.168.2.0 and set the bridge up on 192.168.0.0 with a netmask of
255.255.0.0 would this not make the bridge forward all traffic on all of the
private 192.168 blocks over the bridge. Still have the problem of DHCP
thought... Hum, any thoughts?

Someone said a brige is not filtered and although this is true someone wrote
a patch for 2.2 to add a bridgein rule to the ipchains. Does anyone know if
a project such as this exists for netfilter?

Thanks again,
Chad

RE: XSnow

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

Disable the use gnome to draw the desktop option in the settings and it
should show up. You will loose your desktop icons though. This was brought
up a while back and if i remember correctly it is caused by the desktop
drawing over the root window and not on it so that it is covering up the
snow.

I thought about using cipe directly, but I don't know a thing about
FreeSWAN. From my understanding cipe would not work for my situation. The
problem is that the linux box on the second network is not a gateway, but a
client to the Linksys DSL router. I was thinking of using a bridge since it
cause the linux box to listen to all traffic and forward it through a tunnel
to my linux fw/router on the other network.

Will FreeSWAN work for this type of setup?

Bridge + NAT -- will 2 dhcp servs cause probs?

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

Well, I've done a lot of reading and am planning on playing this weekend.
Think I've got a problem before I even start though. For those who don't
want the details the question is will running DHCP on both sides of a brige
cause problems and how can I stop dhcp from passing through the bridge?

For the Details, I have two networks I am trying to connect via an internet
connection. Both networks are using private networks. Diagram below.


My Network
 \
  Linux box
   \
DSL Modem
 \
 (INET)
 /
DSL Modem
   /
  DSL Router
 /
2nd network (Linux + Windows)

What I would like to do is setup a tunnel between my Linux router and the
linux box in the second network (The DSL router can forward the cipe or vtun
port to the linux box) and bridge the tunnel interfaces. This will allow the
two networks (both on 192.168.1.0) to communicate.

Which brings me to the question the DSL router on network 2 and the first
linux box are both running DHCP will this cause problems? How can I block
the DHCP traffic through the bridge?

Thanks,
Chad

IP Tunneling

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

I am trying to find a way for two computers on private networks to talk to
each other across the internet. The way I see it I am going to need to
tunnel the private traffic across the public internet. Basically what I
would like to do is find a way for my father and I to use video conferencing
and a few other services without punching an infinite number of holes in our
firewall. Does anyone have any experience with cipe and have any
recommendations? Or, does anyone know of a better way to do this easily
while securly under linux? Links to software or reading material are always
greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Chad

[OT] PHP: building shared object extensions

[Chad and Doria Skinner]

Does anyone know where I can find information on how to build a php
extension as a shared object? Or can anyone tell me the steps required to do
it. The redhat SPEC file for php has a function that I believe builds the
.so files for MySQL, IMAP and a few other programs, but I would like to
build a few more and don't know where to begin.

Thanks,
