DOSEmu Packet drivers
Hi List, I am trying to replace a NT server with Linux. All works well, but... We have to run Ghost Multicast server to install classrooms. the DOS ghost server seems to run under dosemu, but I can't get the packet driver to work with DOS ghost server. I enabled the vnet option in dosemu, compiled installed the dosnet module, set up the dsn0 if on the linux side. Under dosemu I can verify the existance of the packet driver at 0x60 with the pktchk program (comes with the packet drivers for DOS). I also got the NCSA telnet package, but it doesn't talk with the Linux (though it seems to "see" the packet driver and reports a reasonable MAC address). Any ideas how to get the stuff to work ? And how to setup multicast routing ? Or is there a replacement for ghost/ghost server that runs on Linux natively ?

Re: ypbind problem
Why not ? from "NIS-Howto" - Old ypbind versions do a broadcast to find a running NIS server. This is insecure, due the fact that anyone may install a NIS server and answer the broadcast queries. Newer Versions of ypbind (ypbind-3.3 or ypbind-mt) are able to get the server from a configuration file - thus no need to broadcast. - So , if you really need client to broadcast download ypbind 3.3 , compile it , and enjoy.

shutdown security potential problem?
Hi, I am using RH6.0 and have noticed a very strange behaviour of "shutdown": when a local non-root user does "shutdown now", the system will shutdown all services, and switch to single-user root shell. This of course, is quite disturbing since a non-root local user can get root very easily this way. But this is not the end of it! if you are now shouting "/etc/shutdown.allow", it is not the answer! "/etc/shutdonw.allow" is only used when doing "shutdown -a". So my *first* question to the list, is how can I prevent a user from doing a shutdown and gaining root shell? will changing the permissions of /usr/bin/shutdown do it? Furthermore, after RTFMing "shutdown", "consolehelper" and "PAM"'s manuals I have noticed the following things: 1. RH procedure to this whole shutting down process is extremly brain damaged. You have /sbin/shutdown, and you have /usr/bin/shutdown which is actually a link to /usr/bin/consolehelper. Why? what is the difference between /sbin/shutdown and /usr/bin/consolehelper (that /usr/bin/shutdown is linked to)? 2. a user who is logged both locally and remotely to machine can shut it down remotely. In case people share accounts, this can lead to a sort of DoS attack. 3. AFAIK, OpenBSD (*the* securest os :) and SuSE do not allow a non-root user to shut down the machine. Why does RH allow it?

RE: shutdown security potential problem?
I've no idea how you rtfm'ed, but obvoiusly you didn't try hard enough. I never heard of "consolehelper" before, and it sounded interesting. so I went to google and searched for "consolehelper". The first item in results was http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-6.0-Manual/install-guide/manual/do c087.html Which is exectly what you need. Here's the important bit: In order to disable all access by console users to console programs, you should run the command: rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/* Seems like RH is abit biased toward home market, where users aren't used to not having permissions to use the modem (or shutdown) and resent having to tinker their way into doing so.

Re: 50% agree, 50% disagree (was: Re: stop pimping)
Hi, As omer said - indeed SMLink published too much here, but I DO think that this is a place to publish Linux related job. In SMLink issue, the company want to develop a proprietary Linux drivers for their USB hardware. Now, they could easily just publish in places like Linux-USB mailing list that they're looking for some people to write drivers in exchange for some hardware "gifts" and the specs (Just like Logitec Genius 3Com did)- they preffer to close everything.. Ofcourse, its their right to do so, but I really don't think that binary only modules (specially binary only modules for hardware) will get you anywhere (I just wonder what will happend when Linux will move from kernel 2.2 to 2.4 to 3.0 - who will guarantee I have drivers?) This is just my personal opinion. Too bad SMLink doesn't THINK. If its good for 3Com, Logitec, Genious, Shuttle, IOMega, Lexmark and others - why is it bad for them??

Re: Exploit (t666.c) breaking chroot()
This exploit for the latest Bind holes (hope you all upgraded to P5 already) promises to break chroot(). As I know, chroot shouldn't be returnable from by anyone. In many cases chroot is treated as a major security feature (think of linuxconf demo site, when they run their demo linuxconf from a chroot()ed environment) and many docs suggest running named chrooted. So how come it can be skipped? named is a root process; root can usually break from chroot() jails. The method used in that exploit is somewhat system specific -- they note, in fact, that is does not work against NetBSD -- but regardless, even if a root process is confined (from a directory tree perspective) to a restricted tree, it can still do a lot of damage. Summary: chroot() is not safe to use against a root process. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, I suggest for you something simple - goto ftp.redhat.com and grab from their updates directory a more updated boot disk. This should solve your problems (I had the same on my SMP PII 266).

Not sure, but it seems to me that you don't have a "signal" to the printer to eject the last page even if it's not full.. Just my thought..

Linux-IL meeting
Hi, Ira mentioned 4.2 as a meeting day. I think we should consider re-scheduling. There's a LinuxExpo and LinuxWorld conferences approximatly the same date. (I'm going to LinuxWorld in NY, if anyone else here will attend, perhaps we can try to arrenge flying together, it will make the transatlantic horror a bit more fun. I can actually imagine a plane full of linux advocates trying to make the pilot install linux :) In anycase, if it won't be re-schedueled, don't count on me giving my Python talk at that meeting... (Maybe we can do it at 17.2, before, during, and after the microsoft conference. BTW. IMO we shouldn't bring tables and laptops, handing out a CD and a small instruction guide, smiling nicely and saying "I hope you will enjoy free software" is just what we need) Chen Shapira [EMAIL PROTECTED] Queen Isabella where are you today?

hebrew filenames in vfat
Hi all! This question has been asked here a while ago, but AFAIR it has not been answered. I have a dual-boot pc: RH6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-22) and hebrew win98. All the dos partitions are vfat (not fat32). I want to take a bounch of files with long hebrew names and copy them to a different computer, as the windows can not currently boot. The problem is that I see all hebrew chars as "?". from reading vfat.txt on kernel docs I understannd that vfat long filenames are stored in unicode. When I use "utf8=true" I get some unicode gibrish instead of the question marks. I did not figure out if there is any way of using the "iocharset" option. There is the uni_xlate option, but I want to somehow copy those files later to a different computer. If I use either "utf8" or "uni_xlate" - can I offer those files through samba/ftp/http to a windows client that will read it as hebrew? Alternatively - is there a way to pack those files to tar/zip/whatever archive that would be opened on a windows client and the file names be read correctly?
