How can the entire traffic of a linux-webserver be recorded?
That should happen for each single user.
It leisures also accesses of outsides is considered.
Each access over HTTP, FTP, POP, SMTP should become grasp. (in and out)

You can use lilo in order to get a root-shell.
If you type init=/bin/sh, *
lilo will not start the init process (father of all processes)
but the bourne shell with uid 0.
Then you have to fireup your bootscripts manually.( they will mount
your partitions read/write etc.)
Now you can delete the root-password in your /etc/passwd (/etc/shaddow)
and choose your own with passwd (yppasswd).
Voila you have gained root-access.
Make your system secure.
If you does not use lilo, get one...

(type 'Linux init=/bin/sh' in order to boot linux with bourne-shell

No, not all servers are correctly configured. But the trend is toward

Hi,
I have a problem with my HD after installing Redhat 5.0 and Win98
I use Disk Druid that come with my Redhat 5.0 to create ext2 file system.
I select install LILO in the MBR of primary drive. Everything seem to be
OK. After I reboot, I can reach the screen LILO: and can choose which OS
I want to boot. When I choose Win98 and try to use partition magic. It
said " Logical Drive chain extends toward start of drive " I just really
don't know what does it mean. right now, I can't use my partition magic
or even my fdisk to change my partition anymore.
Any suggestion would be appriciate or can anyone suggest any document so
I can learn more about it.
Please reply by email.
Thanks

well, PIIs are going for about $2k and 4MHz 8088 were also going for

a hell of a lot of people bought DOS machines. i remember when the
MS-DOS crowd looked down on the MAC people because we could program
the computer in pascal and C and MAC was difficult to code for. there
was a proliferation of sharewares for DOS. now, windows is just as
horrible to program as mac ever was. notice the hacker community
abandoning windows in droves and using linux.

it has none. i derive no value from win98 since i do not use it. yet
vendors seem to go out of their way to foist it upon me when i buy a
computer.

Yo,
I just had to repair a corrupted filesystem on my server using fsck,
no big deal. Just a pain in the arse having to go down to the co-lo
center and type in the root password and answer yes to everything.
So, what causes the filesystem to be corrupted anyway? Poorly written
programs? Leaving the server up too long? I'm not really sure how to
prevent this from happening in the future and what even caused it in
the first place. Any englightenment would help.
Also, is there a config file I can change to have it not require root
password and just answer y to all of the questions on boot if the
filesystem is corrupt?

Generally, one doesn't. The drivers for the most part autoprobe and
find the correct IRQs and DMA channels and allocate them for themselves.
Later drivers then ignore already-spoken-for items. If two drivers
do try to grab the same IRQ or DMA channel, one loses and reports in
the log what it failed to get and who already has it. You then go to
the card, set it to use a non-conflicting item ( via jumpers, or via
isapnp for ISA PnP cards ) and add the appropriate arguments to the
driver to tell it explicitly what I/O ports, IRQ and DMA to use. These
can be on the insmod line, or in /etc/conf.modules ( or /etc/modules.conf )
if you are modprobing modules or letting kerneld autoload them.
To look at what's allocated, cat out /proc/interrupts, /proc/dma and
/proc/iports. Note that these are not neccesarily all-inclusive, because
the kernel often ignores not-currently-active items ( eg. DMA channel 2
for the floppies is rarely seen unless you've just done some I/O to a
floppy ).

You can't set a shell script to suid root.
Well, you can, but it won't work.
Only a binary executable can be setuid root.
Depending on your distribution and version,
/usr/sbin/usernetctl should be setuid root.
The script /sbin/ifup should call usernetctl.
Non-root users should be able to bring ppp up by typing:
$ ifup ppp0
The dist. I'm using seems to have a problem in that if I type "ifup
ppp0" when the interface is already up, it begins looping logging errors
to /var/log/messages.
When this happens I just su to root and "killall ifup-ppp".
What dist. are you using ?

Why not put it on a LAN, and try to crack into it? That way, you could
definately find where the security issue is, and you could regain
control of the box. If you can't get in, boot lilo with the option
`single` to boot into single user mode.

With this kind of structure the base format file is always the same and only if

libc.so.6 is glibc.
This is the "Standard C library".
The .so means it's "dynamically linked" that is, when you run a program
that needs this library it loads the library at runtime rather than it
being statically linked in to the executable at compile time. This
allows the executables to be smaller (because they don't have to each
contain the code) and the memory requirements to be smaller because
processes can share a single in-memory version of the code (text portion
anyway). Also, because the executable is smaller, it loads faster (or
you could look at it as part of the executable is already loaded).
su to root, put lib.so.6 in /lib/ and then run ldconfig.
Or, probably beter, use rpm or glint to install glibc-2.0.7-17.src.rpm

Subject: RealAudio fetcher?
Date: Sat, 09 Jan 1999 19:52:53 GMT
I saw a utility one time that would grab a realaudio broadcast and save it
to a file. The nice thing about it is it would keep at the retrieval until
the entire broadcast was fetched. Anyone know where I can find this
utility or what it's called?
Thanks,
-Tony

True, but look at what all the DOS-heads had said about the Macintosh
-- that it was a toy and not a Real Computer because it was all
point-and-click.
ObLinux: How does one deal with ISA, IRQ's and DMA's in Linux? Is there
some configuration file that specifies which interrupt is associated with
which device? I'd imagine that this file would be plain old text.
