IP Chains Squid Transparent Proxy Woes

[Kevin Diffily]

Title: IP Chains Squid Transparent Proxy
Woes


I am having an unusual problem when trying to use IP Chains to
transparently redirect port 80 to the Squid Proxy Server.  The
odd thing is that the IP Chain Command I used in the past did work and
now it doesn't.  I moved directories onto another partition and
then symlinked them immediately prior to this breaking but did not
make any networking changes.

This works when I manually tell each web browser to use
192.168.0.1:3128 as a proxy server.  When I try the commands
below I get an error from Squid like this.  While trying to
retrieve the URL: /Regional/U_S__States/

The following error was encountered:

*  
Invalid URL
The URL was http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/U_S__States/. 

The relevant IP Chain Commands:
# This adds Squid Transparent Caching Ability.
$IPCHAINS -A input -p tcp -s $INTERNALNET -d 0/0 80 -j REDIRECT
3128

Re: [URGENT] Need help deleting hacked files

[Kevin Diffily]

Having been in this boat I can say I sympathize.  Your only safe 
solution, especially given the knowledge of this hacker is a total 
reformat.  With that not being possible I would suggest taking off 
the essential files to a backup, clean installing and then replacing 
the essential files that you saved.  Afterwards Tripwire and a 
Security Plan.  Again all learned the hard way.  It sucks but it is 
the only way.

Best,
Kevin

Off Topic: Online Support Providers from Providers Perspective

[Kevin Diffily]

Hello All,

I am looking for people's experiences pro & con with working for 
online tech support providers from the technicians's point of view. 
I have looked at a few of the providers and my experience has been 
that they either have a minimal amount of people requesting support 
and/or they don't have a substantial amount of people requesting paid 
support.  Any suggestions would be helpful.

My experience is primarily in Linux Systems Administration and Web 
Site Application Development.

Re: Streaming Audio and maybe even video

[Kevin Diffily]

>This stuff is new to me.

>Can I run streaming audio (and maybe even video) using Apache Web server
>(or any web server as far as that goes)?

Yes.  You can actually serve up most files from Apache.  If you want 
to stream files you may want to also look at Real Audio and 
Quicktime.  Both have servers that will run on Linux and have RPM 
installers if you like.  There are many, many MP3 Servers out there. 
Try Freshmeat.

Not sure what to recommend.  I think I saw some stuff about this on Freshmeat.
  I do most of this on a Macintosh.

RPM Upgrade Woes

[Kevin Diffily]

I seem to be getting caught in a chicken and an egg dilemna here.  I 
have RPM version rpm-3.0.4-4x.  I am trying to upgrade to 
rpm-3.0.5-13k and eventually 4.
When I run rpm -Uvh rpm-3.0.5-13k.i586.rpm I receive
error: failed dependencies:
 libbz2.so.1 is needed by rpm-3.0.5-13k
 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by rpm-3.0.5-13k
When I try to run rpm -Uvh bzip2-1.0.1-3.i386.rpm to get libbz2.so.1
only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM
error: bzip2-1.0.1-3.i386.rpm cannot be installed.

Can anyone offer some advice here?

IMAP Read Only Mailbox Help

[Kevin Diffily]

I have run into a serious problem with IMAP on my server.  I can read 
and write to mailboxes but when I try to delete messages I receive a 
"read only mailbox error" from my email client.

Relevant info:
-Mailboxes are located in ~/Mail. Owned by the the user.  Permissions 
600 or 700.
I have tried setting them to 777 to test for an obvious permission problem.
- Problem surfaced after moving /usr and /var directories to another 
drive and then making a symbolic link for these directories in the 
root filesystem.
- IMAP-4.7 off of the RH 6.2 CD.

The documentation that comes with this is pretty sparse.  Anyone have 
any ideas as to what is causing this and possible remedies?

X Server Help

[Kevin Diffily]

I have run into a problem that I don't want to resolve by a reboot if 
possible.  While working in Netscape  it froze to the point where I 
couldn't go to any other X windows or programs.  CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE 
as well as CTRL+ALT+F1, etc did not get a response.  I telneted to 
the server from another machine and typed in startx.  Strangely this 
caused the Helix Gnome bootup sequence to restart at the terminal but 
then I get a blue screen.

I have a few questions:
1) How do I get my command line prompt back from the terminal?
2) What are the commands to restart and stop X?
3) Is there an equivalent Keyboard Command in X/Gnome for the Windows 
CTRL+ALT+DELETE to allow one to kill running processes?

Thanks

Slow, slow connections since 6.2 Upgrade.

[Kevin Diffily]

Hello - I have been having a heck of a time getting a usable 
connection speed since upgrading from RH 6.0 to 6.2.  While not a 
speed record my download speeds where averaging 2.5-3.0 k/s.  Now 
they are averaging 0.5-1.0 k/s.  This connection is used as a 
masquerading nat router for a 3 computer lan.
Two Macs with different modems both reliably connect at 28.8.

Setup:
Hayes 56K External Modem (Telco Lines restrict to 35k).

With 6.0 had used netcfg to set up the connection without incident. 
Had set mru/mtu = 500. Max Speed set to 57600.
Client Side: Usual download of between 26-28k/s.  (2.5-3k/s)
Server Side: Radius logs at ISP confirmed this (I work for the ISP).

With 6.2 have used Wvdial and netcfg with the following settings
mtu/mru = 296 - 1520?, max speed 57600 -115200.
Client Side: Usual download of between 0.5-1.0 k/s.
Server Side: Radius though shows a consistent 36k connection.

What I am getting is the following:
1) Multiple connect attempts to even get on.  * Seems to connect on 
try one after a config change and then require many tries after that 
to reconnect.
2) Carrier Errors , LCP Timeouts, and connect script failed from 
WvDial and connect script failed from netcfg.
3) I can connect with WvDial but not with netcfg.
4) Config changes in /etc/ppp/options do not seem to help with the 
connection issues with WvDial.

To put it mildly this is driving me nuts.  Have read all the relevant 
man pages and docs that I can think of.  ANY THOUGHTS OR SOLUTIONS 
WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.


Sorry about the bandwidth.  I have attached some of the config and 
log files that are relevant.

Does anyone know of a project that will give the functionality

Options:
   username=  SMB username
   password=  SMB password
   netbiosname=   source NetBIOS name

   gid=   mount gid or groupname
   port=  remote SMB port number

I am not sure about the printer question but I know that Linux has

Re: can't mount cdrom

[Kevin Diffily]

I don't know is this will help but I had the same problem on RH 6.0. 
/dev/cdrom needed to be linked to the correct device.  I did the 
following:
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom.

Yeah - Your message was read off a RAID 0 Array.  Tell me more about 
your setup and I will dig up my notes on how I configured this

RAID & Init Script Load Order Problems

[Kevin Diffily]

I have set up software RAID Level 0 and have run into a problem.  The
RAID Array Loads after the init scripts and I need it to load before
them.  I have put the Array mounting commands into /etc/rc.d/rc.local
as per the instructions in the RAID How To's.  How can I get this to
load the RAID before anything else?

The following is the /etc/raidtab and /etc/rc.d/rc.local files:

echomore /etc/raidtab
raiddev  /dev/md0
raid-level 0
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/hda2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdc2
raid-disk 1

[root@webpageweaver kevin]# more /etc/rc.d/rc.local
#!/bin/sh

# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ]; then
  R=$(cat /etc/redhat-release)

  arch=$(uname -m)
  a="a"
  case "_$arch" in
_a*) a="an";;
_i*) a="an";;
  esac

  # This will overwrite /etc/issue at every boot.  So, make any changes you
  # want to make to /etc/issue here or you will lose them when you reboot.
  echo "" > /etc/issue
  echo "$R" >> /etc/issue
  echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on $a $(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue

--More--(63%)
  cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
  echo >> /etc/issue
fi

# This is intended to mount the /RAID1
/sbin/raidstart /dev/md0
mount /dev/md0 /RAID1

#This starts a generic IP Masquerading

Netatalk is also nice if you want to allow any Macintosh users LAN or

If you have a 6.x version of Red Hat this is already supported in the kernel.
Using a modem I would suggest that you use Squid 
http://www/squid.org.  It is a good idea anyway.
