Re: [expert] How to interpret prelude.log
prelude looks promising, but If you want IDS, uninstall it and go with Snort. If you are familiar enough with Snort to talk about its limitations and how Prelude can go past them, then worry about Prelude. Shouldn't be the default IDS package by a long shot.

Re: [expert] what gives? Broken gdb in Mandrake 9.1
This is Bug #4000: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4000 It's been marked RESOLVED on 2003-07-01 with the comment: This bug is related to a product which is not any more in MandrakeLinux. As a consequence is now marked resolved with the OLD resolution. But I would argue that XFS was supplied with the 9.1 distribution, using it was an installation option, so a patch should be supplied.

If the interface eth0 is your external , ie connected to the internet , why not configure iptables to drop traffic from this print server, but allow replies to your print requests.

Also after running rpmdrake to remove and reinstall these packages, clicking on the gnome foot on the tool bar no longer had any apps listed. Restarting X returned these. I'd like to find where this package has disappeared to , its still listed on the menu but fails to start.

Re: [expert] Shorewall
I understand that, but it helps to let you know that the dns resolution has been solved. It will at least comeback with the ip address which indicates the dns is okay. That is what I was looking for on that particuliar ping. Larry Sword wrote: Joseph Loo wrote: I recently installed a fresh copy of Mandrake 9.1 and included the shorewall firewall.

Re: [expert] The Martians won't go Away
Hey, As I understand, these martian sources appear when a network address that doesn't belong to the subnet on any of your interfaces, starts broadcasting it's packets around. For example if you have the following interfaces: eth0: 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 ppp0: public_ip 255.255.255.255 lo: 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 and you hook up a PC, or in your case a printer with address: 192.168.0.9 to your eth0 subnet. If any sort of packets are broadcast from this PC/printer you'll get martians in your logfiles, since 192.168.0.9 doesn't belong to the 10.0.0.1 subnet. It doesn't matter that practically the 192.168.0.9 address isn't reachable, any packets it puts out on the network cause martians. To get rid of it and still be able to reach your printer, create a virtual interface eth0:0 with subnet 192.168.0.0/24 (this will create an automatic route for you) and you should be able to get rid of martians and reach your printer. That is one case that I've found when martians appear, there may be other conditions, in the worst case rgrep -r -i martian /usr/src/linux :) Regards, Sadin At 05:10 05/07/2003, you wrote: Hi I've been watching this thread, had the same problem on and internal interface. If the interface eth0 is your external , ie connected to the internet , why not configure iptables to drop traffic from this print server, but allow replies to your print requests. As you have the MAC address of the print server, allow established packets , but not new, or if its an ipp broadcast just drop the broadcasts. If you using shorewall check the documentation.

[expert] mandrake-menus again!
I´ve just logged into kde 3.1 (Bamboo 9.1), and for the umpteenth time, found my menus gone! Now, I can fix this by mv .kde .kdeold, then restarting kde, whereupon the menus reappear, but this is a sledgehammer and nut fix, which involves resetting all my themes, window decorations, datafiles, moving or recreating the resource and config files in .kde/share and config etc etc. Not to mention that my home directory is getting a bit littered with kdeold, kdeoldest, kdestuffed etc etc Now, can anyone point me to the file (s) which might be causing this?. As previously posted, I get the same result if I try editing the menu using menudrake, either as user or root, either the Sys menus or the User menus. Both same - menus well and truly edited!!!
