After a small stay a couple years ago, i fell out of linux until last
week when i installed redhat 7 on a p2 300 that i had lying around. I
hooked it right up to my cable modem and everything seemed to be working.
Within 20 minutes of it being on the WAN i noticed I got a hit to my ftp
server (which I hadnt shutdown yet) so i promptly changed a bunch of
permissions and shut down every service I didnt need (ftp, telnet,
sendmail) about an hour later i noticed that my root accnt had mail, so
I checked it. There were two duplicate messages that had been rejected
by the reciever for having exceeded quota, but they were addressed from
root@myhost. The alarming part was the content of the messages which
included my password file (im not running yp yet) my bash history, full
netstat info, processes running, modules loaded, pretty much everything
one needs to know about my computer. I sure as hell didnt send these
emails. Immediatly i went to check system log files, and to my surprise
the gnome syslog viewer reported 2 errors: "no log files to open" and
"var/log/messages" not a file. What the hell happened to my computer?
And problem number two, I want to set this machine up as a gateway and I
cant get it to recognize my second card. The card is a tulip based
netgear FA310Tx. On boot i get the message "eth1: Delaying
initialization SIOCADDRT: Device not found [FAILED]" Can anyone get me
in the right direction for getting this card to work? the working card
in my machine is a linksys lne100tx which I happen two of, so i put the
second linksys in and still got that error, so i just put the fa310tx
back in.
be easy on me, im apparently sickeningly new at this. :-)
Thanks,
Greg
