[SLUG] debian hacked

2001-11-16 Thread Ken Foskey
My gateway is sending stuff to the cable modem even when the eth0 is shut down. When I shut the whole thing down it stops. tcpdump tells me I am currently walking the dns for optus, somehow. Is there a fast way to check the whole box from the mirror server without starting from scratch.

How much stuff? Could it be ntp/dhcp/other stuff? My only suggestion is to look at exactly what the traffic is. I am not a debian user so I can't help you with that side of it. Maybe post some of the tcpdump stuff? Matt. Ken Foskey wrote: My gateway is sending stuff to the cable modem even

[SLUG] grub query

2001-11-16 Thread Danny Yee
I've managed to confuse a Red Hat 7.2 install so that instead of booting immediately it dumps me into grub. I can then run grub configfile /grub/grub.conf and have the machine boot normally, but I can't work out how to make it do that automatically -- the documentation suggests that grub

[SLUG] Thanks re Mandrake 8.0 and Gnome

2001-11-16 Thread Bill
