Need clean files from RH6.1
Hi, I'm trying to effectively check for the presence of a rootkit on my firewall PC. But 'chkrootkit' is using the binaries of the firewall, specifically: awk, cut, egrep, find, head, id, ls, netstat, ps, strings, sed, and uname. Could someone who is still using RH6.1 email me clean copies of these utilities? Or better yet, do you know where I could find reliable copies that are linked against the RH6.1's libraries? TIA, LG ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Hi Gentlemen:
Would it be possible to write a script that would do this automatically
for any new package install?
For instance, if the script was called "ump" you would type "ump
package name and it would insert the package name into the command
"tar -xzvf package name.tar.gz; cd package name; less README" in the
appropriate places, execute and leave you in the README for that
package. That would eliminate a lot of repetitivly typing long package
names, eliminate typing mistakes, always use the same command
eliminating the "I forgot to ..." and "I should have ..." mistakes, and
always start the README file to be scanned before "corrupting" a new
package with incorrect parameters.
I don't know about streamlining the tarball installation, but I
recently put an alias line in my .profile:
alias rdocs='less `find . -exec file {} \; | grep -i "english
text" | cut -d: -f1`'
As for automating tarball installations, that's why they use rpm
or slackware uses 'installpkg' or Debian uses *.deb files...

Re: Windoz proxy and linux client
Hi, Sorry, but the last time I had to do something like that (a previous job), someone had to pay about $250.00 (cdn) plus change for a windows-based software kit (5-user/unlimited clients version). It gave me more trouble than it was worth, in the long run. I'm still shuddering at the memory. It was horrible. Even ICQ had to be manually configured to work with it. It crashed even more than windoze :(. However, if you feel you have no choice, check it out at http://www.startech.com/internet_sharing/internet_sharing1.htm but don't say I didn't warn you. It really sucked! :) If I recall correctly, you also had to install a client package on each of the connecting clients. When I used this product about two or three years ago, there were no linux-based packages. But when I check out the Installation guide again right now while writing this, I see that they claim that linux clients can use this product too. That may be possible, but as you read further on in the installation guide, you quickly realize that *every* client application that you hope to use such as CuteFTP, Net2phone, and others, has to be manually configured in each client and then probably used in a weird way. For example, you need to ftp to the proxy server first and _then_ to ftp.redhat.com. You'd have to use Linux's gnomeftp, ncftp, and other Internet Linux client applications like that too in this hypothetical situation. I definitely don't recommend this product for large-scale use. For personal use between two computers it might prove sufficient--but you still have to pay for it! :( Even trying to keep only five users happy with it at an office became an administrative nightmare. All clients had to be manually configured and then the users had to be told how to use their Internet applications all over again, and nearly all of them demanded to know `why!??'. Good Luck and please pardon my bitter babbling :), LG PS: How about switching the roles? Let linux be the proxy server and use ipchains? Much, much, much, better.

Re: why linux gets such a bad rap ...
Okay... As it was pointed out in an earlier reply, you would need a multi-OS expert, not just a Linux expert. Win98 is not as difficult to set up as WinNT or Win2k. One reason for this might be because Win98 uses the 'vfat' filesystem which is easier to access than WinNT's 'ntfs' filesystem for example. So, in a nutshell, what probably happened here was an over-estimation of Linux and an under-estimation of Win2k. The salient point I would like to make; you will learn more about how _other_ OSes work when you begin to understand how they need to interact with Linux. Linux will definitely broaden the picture, not just within it's own confines--where ever the perimeter of those confines might be, I've yet to find them...

Re: network problems
Hi, I just wanted to clarify one tiny thing for lurking newbies. There is a difference between `ifup' and `ifconfig' commands. `ifup' is a shell script that enables some extra paramators and interface configurations that are generated by linuxconf, netconf, or netcfg. You will find within the 'ifup' shell script that it is necessary to use `ifconfig' several times to set up extra information such as gateways, networking protocols, and other such things.

Hi, I've read the thread so far, and here is what I think: - At least one of your NICs is operating at 100baseT, but not all, correct? - the new two hubs which are 10/100baseT-capable are trying to auto-sense the band rate and are getting confused between the different speed-based NICs.

Re: Help! Partition hosed!
hmmm, sounds like you 'jostled' your HD when you installed your RAM. A static discharge perhaps? But that would have fried everything, so it probably wasn't a static discharge. I believe your best bet for recovering the old /home is to manually mount it from the newer installation running from your good HD: mkdir /home2 mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb3 /home2 NOTE: 'hdb3' is provided for example purposes, only. Your mount command may vary: hda = IDE primary master hdb = IDE primary slave hdc = IDE secondary master hdd = IDE secondary slave 'hdb3' = IDE primary slave, third partition HTH, L.G.

That is the correct procedure; using the shell script MAKEDEV, that is. However, /dev/fd0H1772 already exists, while fd0u1722 will still not be created. Tom's `install.s', according to his FAQ, will use `mknod' to create /dev/fd0u1722. Upon looking into `install.s' and then subsequently `settings.s', the `mknod' command would be like this: mknod /dev/fd0u1722 b 2 60 But I have no idea why Tom would want to use his own special device file, when /dev/fd0H1772 might do the same thing. Unless it's probably a cross-distribution compatibility issue. For example, 'BSD systems might not have the fd0H1772 file. But I digress...
