The celerons afaik are just P4's with small caches, so they should perform the same in terms of CPU usage, it's just the fact that less instructions can be put in the cache with a Celeron that makes them icky. P4 and Xeon I've never compared as I don't own any Xeons, only P4's. Xeon IMO is overkill for a gameserver though, I personally think it's more economical to buy a heap of desktop grade machines because with the way gameservers constantly need faster CPU's and more RAM, it's cheaper just to replace the machines every year or so. You should get about 2 maybe 3 12 player servers on a P4. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux -- No virus found in this incoming message.

(a) I don't know MIT's attorney, and (b) I wouldn't ever call him or her when I could reach someone I know, and (c) what would you expect an attorney to say?

There is a pretty clear attempt there to maximally obscure who has stolen the domain name -- this is clearly not an innocent mistake.) Yeah, but, home truths.

[hlds_linux] Weird behavior from hlds 1.6
This is a machine running fedora core 2 with all updates. Athlon xp 3000+ and i gig of ram here is what goes on: For some reason running screen makes the system startup one instance..then after a minute or two a shadow instance shows up. This makes the memory usage grow out of control and makes the clients get that flood of UNPARSEABLE FIELD TYPE 0 entries in their consoles. I have tried screen in every way i know how and the servers continue to ghost. I have seen this with cs main and private. What is stupid is this is not occurring on my RHEL clone.

However, if players are hitting mouse and keyboard and nothing is happening for a minute or two, then there is a problem. And I second the old hardware not causing the problem. I'm running off of an old 3GB Maxtor, and map changes take just seconds. It was fast changing maps even on my old PIII/800 with an antique 2GB Maxtor. - Original Message - From: William Warren [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 5:29 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] long map changes on cs 1.6 So it is not autonomous?

That is the minimum time before the map changes. If the server is empty it waits 2 minutes. Same thing if nobody does anything after the map ends. I'm not sure what clients need to do, but hitting the +attack button seems to work at least.

what is +attack? is the the primary fire button? Eric (Deacon) wrote: In a bold display of creativity, William Warren wrote: so is there anyway to cvar to force the server to instantly change the maps instead of it ignoring the mp_chattime which it apparently does? Just a bit of anecdotal deduction, here, but it sounds like mp_chattime functionally sets the minimum time for people to chat, not the maximum amount of time before it starts loading the next map. So if you set mp_chattime to 5, it doesn't mean the map will necessarily start changing 5 seconds after the last round's end, but rather that it will allow players a minimum of 5 seconds to chat about the round before it will allow player input to trigger the changing of maps. It seems like it really does take an active input from a player (i.e. +attack) to trigger the map change to take place, at least until it hits the built-in 2 minutes limit. -- Eric (the Deacon remix) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux -- My Foundation verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

Re: [hlds_linux] useful anti-cheat tool alternatives?

Both mainstream anti-cheat tools, VAC and CD are not worth a penny right now.

But i have to reach as many people as i can to try to find some information about other possible, not much-known alternatives to prevent cheating. The situation regarding cheats today is even worse than it was some months ago. And it wont get any better. If you know any tool which might be useful at the moment, please report it to me.

[hlds_linux] randomly crashing server
I noted in an earlier thread i am having a randomly crashing hlds cs 1.6 server. The thing is..there is not common map..i have over 250 megs free with everything running. I have 800 megs free hdd space for logs from the server(of which i had used maybe 20 of). Does hlds maybe not like the permission level 755? It has to be endemic to hlds as the teamspeak server and the rest of the system are rock solid. I am going to reformat it one more time with a newly downloaded centos iso JIC but i do not think that will fix it.

[hlds_linux] crashing server
I have a cs 1.6 server that randomly crashes. I turned all debugs on for everything. This is running steambans plugin, metamod, and adminmod. The server crashes with or without the plugins running.

Re: [hlds_linux] Minimum server requirements for a Counter-Strike server
I hosted a ten slot CS 1.6 server, a 20 slot TEamspeak server on a p-2 350 w/256 megs of ram running CentOS 3.3 without too much trouble. The larger maps would occasionally lag p the cs server.

Re: [hlds_linux] Best distro ?
CentOS 3.3 is a rebuild from source rpm of RHEL 3 AS. This makes it a 2.4.x kernel. RHEL 4 based on fedora 3 is in public beta. Mike wrote: I just installed CentOS 3.3 on a box. It appears to be a good operating system, and it has many great reviews. Unfortunately, though, I'm told it does not support the 2.6 kernel. This would be a huge drawback in my opinion as the 2.6 kernel seems far superior (at least for gaming. And yes, I'm talking even when both are set to hz 1000). Is this true, that the 2.6 kernel is unsupported? I'm going to test it with the 2.4 kernel regardless, and compare it to a fedora core 3 server. Ahh such fun :) But as for my opinion in operating systems... my favorite is FreeBSD. By far, whether it be 4.10 or 5.3. Although...

Re: [Full-Disclosure] avoid jpeg overflow problems using on the fly conversion?
The only problem is this..there is no reason to sanitize jpeg's as this is not a jpeg issue but a Microsoft problem when dealing with jpeg's. Things that do not depend on the dll are not affected(mozilla/firefox and opera if i remember correctly). If this was a jpeg issue then everything would be affected..also of note is that win2k users are not affected(with the exception of ie6). [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: while discussing the jpeg overflow problem and remembering the similar bmp issue, one of my co-workers (thanks lars) brought up the idea of sanitizing jpgs on the gateway level. google found me no hints for existing stuff except a modified micro_proxy for converting png 2 jpg from 2001, when png support wasn't widely available. The project is at http://freshmeat.net/projects/png2jpgproxy/ and is derived from micro_proxy at http://www.acme.com/software/micro_proxy/ looking at the code - i admit not being a programmer - i found it quite simple to modify the program to use it for the exact opposite. 3 lines of code need to be changed: from (strstr(line,image/png))) png_translate=1; to (strstr(line,image/jpeg))) png_translate=1; --- from printf(Content-Type: %s\r\n,image/jpeg); to printf(Content-Type: %s\r\n,image/png); --- from conv_stream=popen(/usr/X11R6/bin/convert png:- jpg:-,w); to conv_stream=popen(/usr/X11R6/bin/convert jpg:- png:-,w); --- i'm not able to deliver a decent patch-file, but you'll get the idea. It seems to work fine, no change in html-code just a new mime-type and the gfx-format changes of course. imho on the fly converting jpg to png should mitigate the risk of getting malicious jpeg's. while blocking jpeg for external mail might have a low impact, doing the same for http is not really an option. Installing MS04-028 in a larger environment might not be that easy either. Of course micro_proxy/png2jpg runs via (x)inetd and might not be performant enough to handle huge loads. I don't know of any content screening product which sanitizes graphics, their good at removing active script, exes, plugins etc. Converting graphics might not be the most elegant way, but using this method in a flexible way should help to react fast on similar security issues. One could convert gif, bmp, you name it depending on new security issues arising. Of course ImageMagick (convert) had it's issues in the past, but i rather deal with issues on the proxy than with the ones on the client/IE. The conversion approach might be suitable for sanitizing other file types like ms office (doc, xls) etc. just an idea... Regards Sascha ___ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.

This MIME filter worked on almost all zipfiles until now: UEsDBAoAA* MyDoom-M however sends itself like this (two examples only): U EsDBAoAA [rest of MIME here] or UEs DBAo AA [rest of MIME here] Not one shy of a challenge, I'll admit this beat my filter. And I'll also speculate that this will not pose a long-term problem. If you're a regexp w1zard, feel free to share how you'd approach this! My current thoughts are something like this: U*E*s*D*B*A*o*A*A* Still got newline prob though.

And to those people that said us folks talking about crypto viruses were being chicken littles... let me tell you, the sky just fell! And it is HEAVY! I was sitting at my desk doing more research on the OPENBSD virus I discovered last week. I was watching ethereal and monitoring the traffic coming in and out of the facility and I saw a ton of traffic coming straight for our web servers! The routers, firewalls, and intrusion detraction systems were not sounding the red alarms like they should have been (we'll get to THAT one later). There appears to be a new virus in town and it's affecting Windows and UNIX web servers! I have not identified a pattern of infection yet but the virus is clearly advancing but it only affects web servers! The virus works on port 443. It seems to accept inbound connections on that port as well and, presumably, awaits for commands from some series of servers elsewhere. Perhaps taking orders? I also captured some of the traffic and attempted to analyze it up but it looks like -- you heard it here first, folks -- the payload is encrypted! Is this the first of a coming storm of crypto viruses we've all been eagerly fearing? (I have already sent a copy of the payload to the distributed.net people so they can try to use some of those wasting cycles to decipher it like they did the last one!) I have taken the liberty of naming the virus already. I looked in etc/services and saw that this port is for and it is something called ssl so I am calling it w32.ssl.b (b for bilano, since I discovered this wretched thing!) I called in our webmaster and showed him the data. He is either too stupid to know what's going on or he takes me for a fool. I got him in the conference room and showed him the print outs. He tried to convince me it was not a virus and just normal web traffic but web traffic is on port 80! No fooling old Bill! LOL! So I told him to gather his stuff up and gave him his marching orders. I have no time for this kind of bull, what with the OPENBSD virus last week (still picking up the pieces there). He must have known I was on to him because he was just laughing on his way out the front door. He may have even been involved with the infection! Good riddance, chump!

Re: [newbie] Gateway BURN IN HELL!! RANT Kind of long
just from this post..it works with windows and not with Linux..Bioses can be tied to windows and as part of the MS OEM license that is what most large computer vendors do to get the rock bottom pricing on windows. Gateway only supports windows and they do not and will not support Linux on that machine. The warranty states no third party software or hardware is not supported and will not be supported by gateway. Dell and most other vendors have similar clauses in their warranty agreements...they will not and do not have to replace anything if it will run under windows. the court case will go nowhere if the case is based on the machines inability to run Linux. Marc wrote: I had the same problem with a friend of mine who wanted to try Linux. I also had a spare harddrive that had linux already on it. We took his out and put mine in and it would start to boot and then just stall. Couldn't get into the BIOS at all. We put his old disk in and it was recongized just fine but had to reinstall windows. This is a 3 year old gateway. He tried to install linux on the original harddrive and all went well until reboot. Again we couldn't get into the bios. Now that I know what the problem is I can reformat his drive with partition majic and he can use the restore disk. Although it doesn't surprise me in the least, gateway and gates, both suck. Moureen I seem to be getting close to the bottom of this. From what I have found it is NOT a problem with linux. I have spent a lot more time troubleshooting than I really should have. If I was to put any reasonable value on my time I could have purchased a couple of new motherboards by now. I guess I just don't like to be beaten by a POS hardware problem or a low life company that sells junk like this. This is what I have found so far. I installed a old Seagate 8 geg HDD model ST38410A in the Gateway, ML 10.0 installed , rebooted and ran just fine. I then downloaded Powermax from Maxtor and did a low level format on the Maxtor HDD from Gateway to insure that any and all hidden partitions and all data that Gateway had on it was 100% removed. I then tried it again and got the same old result. After installing ML the BIOS could no longer see the HDD. I did another low level format and again installed the drive in the gateway the BIOS could again detect the drive but this time I ran the diagnostic utility on the powermax disk and got the result of a ERROR BIOS Extension support failed. After this I have to conclude that Gates way is selling some models of computers where the BIOS on the MOBO does not fully or correctly support the hard drives supplied with the computers. At this moment the owner of the gateway machine is on the phone with gateway demanding a replacement MOBO or a replacement drive of the same size that is 100% supported by his MOBO or a full refund. If he meets to much resistance from gate way he is going to inform them that this matter will be taken to small claims court and that the papers will be filed in Mountain Home Arkansas the town that we live near. After doing some research into Arkansas law if we understand it correctly a representative from gateway will have to appear in court in Mountain Home AR or a automatic judgment will be made against Gateway. The closest Gateway office is in Little Rock, over a 100 mile drive so someone from gateway will have to spend at least a full day at this or they will have to hire a local lawyer. Yeah this guy is a bit Pod but he has been hung up on by Gateway tech support no less than 3 times in the last few days. I by no means claim to understand the law but in my mind their is a valid legal point here. Gateway is selling systems built with hardware that is NOT supposed to be installed together. This would be like Ford selling a car with rims that were 15 X 8 and putting on tires that were recommended by the manufacturer to go on a rim no smaller than 15 X 10 , I would assume that when the tires failed to preform correctly ford would be forced to rectify the parts mismatch. Also if the system that you are talking about Moureen is about 3 years old Gateway could have a BIG problem here, possibly a class action law suit. If they want to sell third rate hardware to customers that do not know any better they deserve it. Any legal prows out there with any opinions?

Upgrading a operating system is a routine thing that most computer owners due themselves or hire a tech to due at one time or another. After all we all know plenty of people who have upgraded from win 95 to 98 or from win 98 to ME or XP. Upgrading is a routine thing that almost everyone expects to be able to due when purchasing a PC. Once again using the auto analogy parallel parking is something that most people would assume that any car they purchased would be able to due weather or not the manufacturer stated in their warranty that the car was capable of parallel parking or not. One would assume the manufacturer would be held responsible if a car was unable to to due such a routine function even with a skilled driver. One would also assume that if the problem with the car being impossible to parallel park was caused by a mismatch of the tires and rims that was not recommended by the maker of the tires. Would the auto maker not be responsible for using components that were designed to work together to preform basic routine functions? The BIOS in the gateway computer does NOT properly support the hard drive that Gateway installed with it. The software supplied by the maker of the HDD says so in so many words. Because of this parts mismatch the computer is unable to preform a basic routine function, a upgrade. If the HDD was able to preform as the manufacturer intended it to a simple routine upgrade would not be a issue but this machine was supplied with BIOS that is NOT able to control the hard drive properly so a routine function like a upgrade may be impossible even to the next OS that windoze comes out with. If this was a matter of the MOBO having a chipset that was not supported by linux that would be one thing but this is much more basic. One piece of gateway hardware doe's not properly support another piece of Gateway hardware supplied in the same system by Gateway. Furthermore win or loose the guy that owns the GW is retired and has nothing better to do with his spare time. He feels that it is not to much to ask gateway to supply BIOS that will work properly with the hard drive that they supplied. If they would rather waste a amount of time and effort that far exceeds the value of the computer and perhaps suffer from similar customer dissatisfaction and PR in the future he feels that would be all right also. The folks at gateway have already spent at least 4 hours of tech support time debating this issue. That had to cost a few bucks. If they want to continue to supply mismatched hardware let them also put up with the consequences that go with it. For that matter let them at least hire tech support people that the average English speaking public can understand. 2 of their tech support people had such bad English you would need a translator to understand more than half of what they said!!! I have doubts if they could understand all of what we told them. The whole situation with gateway failing to admit that they could have a hardware mismatch is nothing short of ridiculous .

[newbie] webdav on mandrake 9.2
I am trying to get webdav working on mandrake 9.2 I have mod dav installed and the dav fs installed..apache is installed and running. I have been trying for the past couple of months to get this working and it is beyond me..:) the directory i want to share is /files/server/calendar i am not worried about outside access as this is internal to my lan and i have astaro security linux specifically set to not allow this server on the net. This server also runs samba and shares out an 80 gig drive(the one the calendar will be on)...how do i get webdav working? the clients will be mozilla 1.x with the calendar module add-on installed..:) William Warren -- My Foundation verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

Re: [Full-Disclosure] Knocking Microsoft
James P. Saveker wrote: Some personal thoughts, Yes indeed it's no secret that Microsoft valued functionality over security for many years. I think that's how they are a market leader today. This model could not be sustained however, as with the advent of exponential internet growth security has undoubtedly become a major concern. Microsoft has in there defence started the trustworthy computing scheme, which many would not hesitate to laugh at. However windows server 2003 does not by default load unnecessary services. Microsoft has developed bits client to downloaded patches requiring minimal user interaction depending on the configuration. In the enterprise they have improved SMS server to deploy patches across bits. For smaller business they offer SUS for FREE. The code they produce is far more stringently tested in regard to security than perhaps it was before. really? then are some ofhte flaws in win nt4 able to be exploit in 2k3? NOt a very good code review in my eyes. The key to increasing the windows security model is not just one thing, however with the advent of granular code patches will be smaller and cheaper to deploy requiring much less bandwidth than today. Longhorn will be a big jump for Microsoft and a major test of the trustworthy computing yada yada. I do not understand why people knock Microsoft so much in regard to security today. because it has been up to htis point marketing combined with FUD..which unfortunatly many buy into. I regularly hear people talking about how many vulnerability's Microsoft has and how poor this is. As everybody subscribing to this list and similar zone-h, bugtraq etc will know Linux has many warnings posted also. here we go..apples to oranges..you have to take thelinux kernel AND all the 3rd party packages and combine them to approach MS's vulnerablility numbers..nice try..:) Yet I rarely hear people talking about that and indeed how it is far more difficult to keep linux distro's up to date. Windows has a far greater end user base than any other operating system. It would be a fair assumption to then say that perhaps virus writers and hackers are going to look for ways to exploit windows far more than other end user system in order to gain greater penetration. That is not to say that people do not look for sploits in web application servers running nix and other such systems in respect to the amount of nix servers on the net. considering that linux is the #1 webserver paltform..hackers nail it all the time..though most tiems they are able to deface or own due to admin misconfiguring rather than code that is filled with bugs and holes. I don't mean to open an open sauce debate but merely say my bit and see others peoples views on the topic.

Re: [Full-Disclosure] Coming soon: CPU fix for buffer overflows
leading to cruddier and more bloated code and yet more security problems..won't it be interesting if these hardware technologies have overflows of their own..:) Richard M. Smith wrote: http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns4696 Chips to ease Microsoft's big security nightmare 10:00 22 February 04 Chip makers are planning a new generation of microprocessors that should plug the gaps that led Microsoft to issue a critical security alert last week. The alert was sparked by the discovery that a raft of Microsoft programs were vulnerable to a problem called buffer overflow, which hackers can exploit to extract private information from a PC. And the risk of such attacks only worsened when, two days after the alert was issued, critical Windows source code was leaked on to the internet letting hackers see how it works. A buffer is a section of computer memory that can store a set amount of data. Sometimes, usually because of a software bug, the processor sends more data to the buffer than it can hold, causing it to overflow into the next chunk of buffer memory. This makes computers vulnerable to hackers, because by deliberately making a buffer overflow they can force the computer to execute their malicious code. The problem is hard to detect, as popular programming languages, like C and C++ do not make it easy to track when programs are vulnerable to overflow. But now chip makers Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel are developing processor chips that will deal with the problem. AMD's Athlon-64 (for PCs) and Opteron (for servers) will protect against buffer overflows when used with a new version of Windows XP. Intel plans similar features on next generation Pentium chips. ... ___ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
