Hello ,
I am runing Linux 2.2.4 on an i586.
I was chating on irc (via ircII-2.8.3) when a cracker managed to log as
root on my box.
I had a message from syslogd@localhost, and then when i tried to log as
root, there was no password !!! (i quickly defined a new one)
And the guy could display messages on my screen.
Then in the log files i found two things, related to 2 different IP
addresses: i'll call them IP1 and IP2.
-Several 'in.fingerd' trials from IP1.
-'in.telnetd' connection from IP2.
I know that IP2 is my cracker because i tried to telnet to IP2, and got
a login, then the guy displayed on my screen: "don't try to telnet me"
<-- very funy !
I would like to know how the guy managed to login (via telnet i think)
without my root password (that is not easy to guess at all !), and then
delete the root password. Or perhaps did he delete the root password
(how ?) so that he can log as root.
And then, i will be able to prevent from other 'attacks' like that.
Thank you for helping.
Benjamin.

Great idea. What are the specifics of 'staff'? I.e, which groups
does he belong to, what are the permissions on the /usr/local and
/usr/src directories ..?

Oh, where shall I start? First, use turn off all services you do not
need in /etc/inetd.conf. Then, anything else you use, you should wrap
with TCP wrappers such that it is only allowed from certain machines/
domains that you trust.
Did you telnet/rsh/rlogin to your machine as root? If so, your password
then went across the net as plain text.
If you need to access your box remotely, consider using SSH, a secure
remote access protocol.
<SOAPBOX> Finally, I would stay off of IRC. The gain in using it is far
far less than the security holes that IRC creates. </SOAPBOX>

VMWare allows you to run Win95/Win98/Linux/BSD whatever inside a

On a K6200 NT is a little slow, but if you have a faster machine
something like a k6-2 or a celeron/PII you should be fine.

I'm glad they made RPM idiot proof -
unfortunately, I seem to be an idiot.
This is on Red Hat Linux 5.1.
As root, I attempt to install a package with rpm -Uvh, and it seems
to work fine. But then when I query with rpm -qa, the package I'm

that it's not installed). Can you see what I'm missing here?:

I'm totally new to linux but I managed to get my AWE64 running as an AWE32.

Actually, I did that - the problem is that Windows appears to send TWO
init strings. I tried the first one alone, and it didn't help (or it
killed the interface - I can't remember which). I can't figure out how
to setup ppp to send two init strings.

It's available now, though it's still considered to be *VERY* experimental

Yes, you are. I sys admin *many* machines, including both my home
desktop (which is also a fidonet node) and laptop (both run Linux) and
a pile of assorted UNIX boxes at UMass (Linux, Ultrix, SunOS, Irix,
Digital UNIX). I *never* login as root (except under emergency
conditions and to do shutdowns).
I use a program called 'sudo'. This is a *wonderful* tool. I don't
use su to root *ever*. Installing software:
% sudo rpm -hiv ....
Checking log files:
% sudo more /var/log/messages
PPP:
% sudo StartPPPControlPanel
and so on.

% ./configure
% make
Test things as normal user, when satisfied, you type:
% sudo make install
In addition to the security issues, there is not enough room under root
home directory for much. I generally create a small root partition
(64meg) and later a large /home partition. Root's $HOME is on the root
partition (where it should be!), but users get $HOME directories on
/home. I do *lots* of assorted software development, consulting, etc.
Lots of files: code, binaries, images, web page stuff, saved E-Mail,
saved news articles, etc.
About mounting floppies, zip drives, CD-ROM drives:
Add the word 'user' to the option list. Add 'umask=000' for MS-DOS and
HFS mount points:
/dev/fd0 /fd0 msdos user,noauto,conv=auto,gid=100,uid=5125,umask=000 0 0
/dev/fd0 /fd0e2 ext2 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /fd0nc msdos user,noauto,gid=100,uid=5125,umask=000 0 0
/dev/fd0D720 /fd0ddnc msdos user,noauto,gid=100,uid=5125,umask=000 0 0
/dev/fd0D720 /fd0dd msdos user,noauto,gid=100,uid=5125,umask=000 0 0
/dev/fd0 /fd0auto auto user,noauto,gid=100,uid=5125,umask=000 0 0
/dev/cdrom /CDROM iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sdd1 /ZipFat msdos user,noauto,conv=auto,gid=100,uid=5125,umask=000 0 0
/dev/sdd1 /ZipFatnc msdos user,noauto,gid=100,uid=5125,umask=000 0 0
/dev/sdd1 /ZipE2fs ext2 user,noauto 0 0
All of these devices are *user* (non privileged) mountable.
And I changed the protection on /dev/st0:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 9, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/st0
So I can use the tape drive without needing privs. I know, this is
probably not super good, but what can a random fidonet user do? I don't
leave tapes in the drive.

I'm not a CS major, never said I was. I have taken programming classes,

Thats true for some, but not for all. To be able to function
productively, one must be able to use the product. There are so many
different problems people run into just in the setup of linux, that
people would become too discouraged to even try to continue learning
it. You may be able to function more productively, but what about your
next door neighbor. Do they have the time or patience to try to learn
how to use it productively? For most people this is a no. Believe it
or not, there are those people in the world that are not good with
computers. I know that's a hard concept to imagine, but it's true.

Doesn't work like it should or doesn't work how they would like it to?
There is a difference. Like I said before, I have no problem with
paying for quality programs. I do prefer getting programs for free, but
doesn't everyone? How can you assume that most users won't need those

This is one of many flaws with Red Hat. I use slackware, so I can't
speak from experience, but I have seen enough people with this problem that
I think I remember the solution. I think you need to edit /etc/hosts and
change it to
localhost 127.0.0.1, or something...Try messing with that.

Hi everyone,
I posted a query to comp.os.linux.misc last week about this problem, but
I didn't make my question clear.
In trying to boot Linux from a JAZ drive, I get the following error
message which interrupts and freezes the booting process:
The message I get is
MEDIUM ERROR on channel 0, cd 6, lun 0, CDB: Read (6) 16 00 48 02 00
Current error sd08:11 sense key medium error
Additional sense indicates Unrecovered read error
scsidisk I/O Error dev 08:11, sector 144182
Kernel Panic: Ext2-fs panic (device 08:11):ext2_read-inode unable to
read
i-node block - inode=178914, block=720916
Is there much of a chance that this is _not_ a hardware (JAZ disk)
error? Should I just go ahead and reformat the
JAZ disk?
Thanks for any advice or suggestions.
Tom Ryan
