I started looking when Apache wasn't loading existing pages, kicking out an error that the requested document wasn't on the server, even though it was. I wasn't able to find anyone who could provide a fix. Since then Apache 2.0.39 was released, which I installed. That fixed the problems. I had already installed AOLserver for testing and am using it on one IP address. My initial impression of it is that it is designed primarily to be the web server for one heavily used domain with high database needs. It will work, and I may run it simultaneously with Apache for one domain that needs the database features. For general use I'm more in need of a web server that's designed for virtual domain hosting. To answer your question, right now there's no immediate need. But if I have trouble again and can't get support, I need a backup server. And, frankly, if in the search for a backup I find a web server that peaks my fancy, I'll switch to it and use Apache as the backup.

It is also true that most of us are, at one time or Some things we need to get clear here: The first time I was hacked was on a remote Linux server I was leasing which was behind a firewall that I did not control. That system was configured wholly different from my home system and is in a different state. The second time I was hacked, it was on my home system. I immediately wiped the computer and upgraded it as far as I could considering that the Red Hat installer no longer runs on 16 MB RAM. The third time I was hacked WHOEVER HACKED ME FOUND A SECURITY HOLE IN EITHER NAMED OR SENDMAIL. THERE WERE NO OTHER PORTS ACTIVE. I HAD ONLY NAMED AND SENDMAIL RUNNING. ALL OTHER SERVICE PORTS WERE CLOSED. TELNET, INETD, and FTP WEREN'T EVEN INSTALLED.

What I said is that I'm not a computer geek, I'm a Red Hat Linux end user. The bottom line is, Linux is a computer geek's operating system. And no matter how much I study and learn and work on this system, there is going to be someone out there who knows it better than I do, and if they want to bad enough they'll find a way in. The best I can hope for is to build a wall big enough around my system so that the hackers will decide to pick on an easier target. My understanding is that Red Hat primarily puts together the package, but they don't write most of the programs that they include. As such they can't be held responsible for weaknesses in shipped programs unless they ship a product that they know is flawed. If don't believe for a minute they'd do that. As for Red Hat's role in this. They are culpable on one count - since I now have my own subnet, I always upgrade my systems with the new releases. However, they have decided that most of us are rich, and that no one uses 486s and PIs anymore. Two thirds of my boxes have 16 MB RAM and can't install the current releases. One key reason why I was hacked is because I couldn't upgrade those boxes. So don't tell me that I'm solely responsible here. Thanks to the Rule people and Miniconda I was finally able this weekend to upgrade the hacked box to 7.2. But Rule is an independent project and not affiliated with Red Hat. So if my system is secure now, the Rule people get the credit. I can install the programs, write the iptables, and shut down all ports but those I absolutely have to use. But all that's worthless if I can't upgrade to current releases because the installer won't run on 16 MB RAM. BTW, I've notified the FBI here in Minneapolis, and the respective foreign authorities. Some good may come out of this yet. Glen ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

This doesn't appear to be a personal attack. He picked the box I ran only DNS on, and the one I *never* check up on. Seems he built a nest there and used it to probe other machines. That's how I was alerted to the problem - I received numerous emails from network security people last week complaining that someone on my system was doing systematic probes on their boxes trying to find security holes. I had no users on that computer except root and myself. I found a user I didn't recognize with uid 47, and /var/log/messages had gaps in it, and showed probes being sent out. The mail queue had several letters in it from root addressed to the presumed guilty party that contained my system information. I can't prove it, but I think he got in through bind. I didn't have trouble on the leased server until I started running my own DNS. And he was easily able to hack into the local box in question even with an upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2, both of which contained older versions of bind.

I haven't done that for several reasons: 1) If the firewall box goes down, the entire system goes down. 2) I had a leased server that was behind a firewall. It frequently was a pain to deal with. 3) Until recently I haven't needed to. 4) Putting in a firewall doesn't guarantee that you won't be hacked. The first time I was hacked the box in question was behind a firewall. The jerk was still able to gain root access. 5) Having a tight firewall is like living in a fenced in yard.

Sure. You want mail sent from machine "a" to show that it's coming from machine
"b" instead.

You can use envelope masquerading, and have machine "a" hand the mail off to
postfix on machine "b" which will then do the actual delivering.
In essence you would be setting up machine "a" to behave like a home Windows box
does when it sends out email - it transfers it first to the mail computer on the
customer's ISP, which then forwards it to the correct recipient computer.
If you are using an MUA like Mozilla Mail, you won't need to set up envelope
masquerading. You can instead configure Mozilla Mail to hand the mail to your
respective user account on machine "b" for delivery.

How do I change machine IP address thats behind a firewall?
RH 6.2, ProFtpd server, behind a firewall. I'm having problems with some clients who are trying to ftp into the machine. They can access the server with the www IP address, but immediately after authentication their ftp program switches to the LAN ip address, 198... and they are not able to upload files. My guess is that the local ftp client is reading the LAN ipaddress from "hostname -i" and switching to it. 1) How do I change the ipaddress the server sends back to ftp programs, etc., so it reads the necessary IP address; 216.254... but doesn't knock me off the LAN. 2) Is there a way to configure these Windows ftp clients so they don't do a hostname -i lookup, or so that ProFTPd sends back the correct IP address?

I wholly agree that Linux should stick with what made it great. However, with home PC's becoming faster and more powerful, Linux is no longer facing the problem of cutting out projects and programs because of lack of HD space or processor limitations. Because of this, I personally would like to see a group of Linux loving, GNU supporting desk top gurus design a default desktop that would fit within the existing system that would be designed for the average user. It could be pre-installed on new computers, would already be configured for the new pc (modem and all), and would allow the home user to just turn it on and point at the pretty picture. Menu's would be preconfigured and would have the basic programs that a home user needs - a web browser, an icq client, a simple text editor (nedit, kword, whatever...), a quality point and click email client that would allow for multiple POP3 accounts from the home user, etc. It wouldn't have to walk on water, just provide the basics. It would have to some degree work like Windows in that it would *not* run any local servers from this option. Mail would have to be delivered directly to the ISP's MTA. DNS would also be provided by the ISP, etc. If, however, the purchaser was more computer astute, he/she could bypass this option and configure his PC to run a more typical Linux configuration. In life there is no such thing as "one size fits all." When we're forced to live this way a lot of people are miserable. I hated Windows, still do. It locked me into a mold I just didn't fit into. I love Linux because it lets me do it my way. I personally hope that no operating system corners the market. But I would love to see Red Hat Linux knock Microsoft on its greedy behind and take a big hunk of the home users PC market!

Ian, I have no personal experience with multiheaded displays, so I'm not really qualified to answer the question. This is from "man fvwm2": Fvwm supports the Xinerama extension of newer X servers which is similar to multi head sup port (multiple screens) but allows to move windows between screens. If Xinerama support has been compiled into fvwm, it is used whenever fvwm runs on an X server that supports and uses multiple screens via Xinerama. Without this option, the whole desktop is treated as one big screen. For example, menus might pop up right between two screens. The EdgeResis tance command allows to specify an explicit resistance value for moving windows over the screen edge between two Xinerama screens. Xinerama support can be enabled or disabled on the fly or from the configuration file with the Xinerama command. Many modules and com mands work nicely with Xinerama displays. I cross posted this letter to the fvwm list - maybe someone who is using it will respond to you personally.

Joe, This may or may not help, but I believe that the sendmail configuration file under the old setup (6.2 and previous) used sendmail.cw as the default file for declaring the domains to receive mail on your server. 7.0 doesn't.

I've found this to not be a reliable way of doing it - Biff will tell me I have mail in box 2, when the letter is actually in box 3. And it rarely notifies me when mail lands in the Inbox. Is there another mail detection program that is more reliable, and that is configurable so that I can run multiple copies with each checking a different box, or run 1 copy that checks several boxes?

Re: How do I stop mail relaying through my box?
John, Thanks. I didn't find anything on either site that described an open relay hole I have that should be plugged. The only thing I found that might be causing it is one line in my sendmail.mc file: dnl FEATURE(`relay_based_on_MX') This particular feature, if I understand it correctly, allows mail to be relayed to your site if it's addressed to one of your hosts. Meaning, a spammer could use my mail server to spam my own users, but not to relay mail to outside boxes, which near as I can tell is what is happening. I thought I had disabled it by adding in the "dnl" at the beginning of the line. Either I forgot to make a new sendmail.cf file, forgot to restart sendmail, or just adding in dnl at the beginning of the line didn't "comment" it out. I deleted the line, remade sendmail.cf, and restarted sendmail. I'll just have to wait and see if this fixes the problem.

I'm not real sure about the technicalities of this; but I had to get my ISP to set up their DNS so that my machine name resolved. I have a static IP address, so when a lookup was done by my local system, either through mail or otherwise, my static IP address was used instead of eth0 on the Linux router.

What do you mean by this? The router isn't physically located in your
home, or your ISP won't give you the password to get into it? If it's the
latter, unless they configured it before sending it to you and won't give
you the password, you should be able to access it.

I was using the above with IP masquerading. Eth0 on the Cisco was set to
my static IP address, but aliased to 10.0.0.1. I set eth0 on the Linux
router to 10.0.0.2 (didn't use pump or dhcp in the Linux box), then set
eth1 in the Linux router (computer) to a LAN address as you've shown
above. If I'm reading your schematic right, it looks like you have 4
different subnets running off of eth1. Is that correct?
I had some difficulty getting the above to work. As I changed the netmask
and IP addresses on the LAN so I could subnet, linuxconf didn't delete the
old routes, even though it added in the new ones. My routing table was a
real mess! I finally had to go in and modify the routing by hand.

You do. I have an 8 IP subnet, but only 5 addresses are usable; one is
the broadcast address, one the network address, and one the router
address.
There's no reason why you can't do the above as you wish if you set up
routing and ip masquerading properly without going the private network
route unless that's what you want to do.

Re: cant reach internal network anymore [Please Help]
Eric, What do you get with "route -n" on each of the boxes? They should all have the same route set up to access the LAN. I'm not familiar with the new IProute rpm you installed, but it sounds to me like when you rebooted, your routing tables were rewritten, and that this is what knocked you off the LAN. IP forwarding isn't going to work whether it's installed properly or not until the other boxes on the LAN can access your firewall box through the LAN. If all the boxes on your LAN are on the same subnet you don't need to define the path to each individual machine. One network "catch-all" will take care of that. Check the routing on one of your other LAN boxes that is able to ping to the other LAN boxes, and make sure it has the same broadcast address and netmask as what you're showing for eth0 on the firewall box. If not, then you need to change it on the firewall box to match the others or they won't be able to communicate. This is what you're showing on the firewall box: inet addr:192.168.5.5 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 Glen Wednesday, at 13:15, eric clover sent through the Star Gate: >im at the end of a rope here. >i have a very angry wife that cant get on the internet. >she is not very happy with me right now. >_Please Help Me_ > >eric > >- Original Message - >From: "eric clover" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "red hat list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2000 12:07 PM >Subject: [RHL] cant reach internal network anymore > > >hello, > >im having some difficulty getting my internal network to work again. i have >3 masq'd machines behind a firewall and i cant get the firewall'd machine to >ping the other masq'd machines. the masq'd machines can ping each other but >not the firewall machine and the firewall machine cant ping any of the other >machines. >this is my output from route & ifconfig: > >Kernel IP routing table >Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse >Iface >spanky bl 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 00 eth0 >bl * 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 eth0 >burpbl 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 00 eth0 >clogbl 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 00 eth0 >192.168.5.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 >127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 lo >eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:C7:87:5B:58 > inet addr:192.168.5.5 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:26 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:57 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:1 txqueuelen:100 > Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe000 > >loLink encap:Local Loopback > inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 > UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 > RX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 > >Please Help. > >TIA > >eric > > > >___ >Redhat-list mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > > > >___ >Redhat-list mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RE: Network Problem
Jeff, I'm not real familiar with how ping works, so the following may be totally off base: you might check what daemons are running every night when you leave using ps fauwx > monitor (or any other file name you wish), and compare that with a new readout in the morning if the network is down. This will allow you to check and see if any daemons have died during the evening - inetd, proftpd, httpd, etc. I believe that restarting the network only brings up the NICs, sets kernel routing, and turns on packet forwarding. To my knowledge it doesn't restart any of the daemons. Also, if you have an extra NIC laying around you might try replacing it, switching ports on the hub, and replacing your cabling (or the ends) to the respective box (just a stab in the dark).

Re: Device not ready
Charles, This may or may not be related, but I'm having the same problem now. I've narrowed it down to the CDRom not being able to read from the CDRW disc I just cut. A couple of possibilities might be; your system is trying to mount the CDRom drive when there's no disc in it, or it might be trying to mount a CDRom drive with an unreadable drive in it. I think it's safe to say that it's trying to mount the drive whether you're telling it to or not.

Re: Sorting incoming mails to individual mailboxes
Yes, Procmail will do exactly what you need. Read man procmailGeneral examples man procmailex For recipe examples man procmailrc For how to set up ~/.procmailrc man procmailsc Weighted scoring, can use for spam filter If you're sorting for several users from one main mailbox you may want to use a more generic recipe: :0 * .*[EMAIL PROTECTED] * !^From.*[EMAIL PROTECTED] ! frank This tells procmail to search the header for any instance of the address [EMAIL PROTECTED], meaning that it will usually match mail from lists, but not to match if frank sends the letter. Basically he can't mail a letter to himself using this recipe , but the recipe assumes that if his address is listed anywhere in the header then the letter is meant for him. If you use a more conventional approach: :0 * ^TO_.*[EMAIL PROTECTED] ! frank Mail addressed to frank will go to his username, but mail meant for him from a talk list won't. For this you'll have to have a separate recipe per each talk list that he's subscribed to. This can get confusing if you have several users subscribed to varying talk lists with some overlapping. That's why I suggested the first approach.

Re: Sorting incoming mails to individual mailboxes
Something I forgot to mention: >ifup ppp0 >su ispuseraccount -c fetchmail The above should read: ifup ppp0 su localuser -c fetchmail This tells the shell to run the fetchmail file in ~/, which should have all your ISP login information. Your local username can be the same or different from your ISP username.

Re: Sorting incoming mails to individual mailboxes
If you set up ~/.fetchmailrc right it should download it to /var/spool/mail/yourusername As I recall sendmail can't work with usernames that are longer than 8 characters, at least it couldn't under Red Hat 5.2, don't know if that's changed. Your ~/.fetchmailrc file should read something like: set daemon 540 poll mail.mydomain.com proto pop3 user "ispuseraccount", with password a1s2d3, is "myuser" here; man fetchmail Glen Today, at 17:36, [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent through the Star Gate: >Hi guys, I am new in procmail and sendmail and of course having trouble >to set up simple mail distribution system.

Once hosts.allow and hosts.deny are modified do we need to restart a daemon or something? How does Linux know they've been updated?

Add "users" without the quote to /etc/fstab. This will allow anyone to mount the file system, and anyone else to umount it. This doesn't work if you're using your user to try to mount a file system to a mount point in some other user's ~/. You don't have permission to access that directory, so your attempt to mount to it is denied.

Re: FW: Trouble with Samba and Win 98
In addition to what's already been said: Make sure your netmasks match. Have you had the "log onto the network" popup window appear in Win98? I had trouble with this one. If not click on start, then logoff. This will restart a new session and bring up the logon window. In smb.conf make sure the the IP address of the Win98 box is one you have listed as allowed as part of the Samba net.

Re: Samba error messages printed to console
Follow up: I shut off the daemon, removed the Samba rpm. Error messages were still going to the console. I then checked mount and noticed that all my Samba files were mounted. I umounted them and the error messages went away. I reinstalled Samba and started it. So far no problem. Apparently I had a Samba process that was trying to mount a file system but couldn't do it. I can read my mail now, and in the future if this happens I know I need to umount all Samba processes and remount them. But I'd still like to know how to keep these error messages from being echoed to the console. I'll retry the redirection. Obviously it didn't work on already active mounts. Maybe it'll work this time. Glen ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
