but then, you see, what happens is that one day you're "browsing the net"
and due to a security hole in the client application your box gets
compromised as the user who is doing the browsing. this process then
downloads and runs an exploit against one of the SUID root games on your
system, rootkits the box, and then cleans itself up.
this may be a risk which you find acceptable, however, i'd argue that there
are no "single-user" Linux systems out there. even if you have every
single daemon turned off, if you're making connections to the outside world
then you are vulnerable.

You should put smilies on such jokes, because some people will think

Subject: XDM problems
Date: Sun, 02 May 1999 21:05:55 -0400
I recently switched from GNOME+GDM to XDM and window-maker, and
in the process of upgrading to the latest window maker, I ran into a few
problems with XDM.
I get the following error message when I su to root (logged in as a
regular user) and try to open any xwindows/GUI app :
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by Server
Xlib: client is not authorized to connect to Server
Initialization error : X Server is not responding
:0.0
Exit 255
However, the normal user "ssahmed" is able to open any x app without
these error messages.
Occasionally, the normal user "ssahmed" also gets these messages
after I (user ssahmed) have made a PPP connection to my ISP which
causes my hostname to be changed from "localhost.localdomain" to
a dynamic ISP assigned "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.dialin.isp.com", and have
then disconnectioned from the ISP and then try to open up any X app.
Also, trying "xhost + localhost.localdomain" or just "xhost" gives
the same error message.
Obviously, I am not understanding something basic about the X setup
for a user when XDM is being used. I wasn't having these problems
when I was using startx to manually start the X server. Also, I wasn't
having these problems when I was using GNOME+GDM.
Some people have also mentioned that the automatic hostname change
when a PPP connection is made to an ISP can cause problems. Is this
automatic hostname change related to this ? Some people have recommended
putting a hostname other than "localhost.localdomain" in the /etc/HOSTS
file to get around this. How would this help ?
Also, is there any website with a good tutorial on XDM and how to
setup X windows for multiple users with XDM ?
My system config :
RedHat 5.2 w/ kernel 2.0.36
XFree86 3.3.3.1
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok, I misunderstood that part. How about this hypothetical
situation:
I'm writing a closed-source database system, but I *really*
like the sort code from FooSQL, the GPLed SQL server. So I have
it working with my closed database system. Can I sell it
legally?

Subject: Disk Read Errors from VFAT partition = Big Worry
Date: Mon, 3 May 1999 07:35:17 +0800
I have a Linux/Win98 Dual boot machine. As I am fine tuning my linux set up,
often I'll download a file and save it to my Win98 partition and then mount
to the Win98 partition from Linux. I have noticed that occasionally with
large files I'll get errors when using TAR, such as bad CRC etc. and the TAR
will halt. Sometimes I'll redo the TAR and all will be ok.
My theory is that I suspect that the reading from VFAT routines are a little
buggy and this becomes apparent with large files.
My system has a UDMA hard disk but I am running 2.2.7 kernel.

SVGAlib?
Regarding compatibility it is pretty much the same story as with X.
Note, that LibGGI happily renders on SVGAlib, and we have an SVGAlib
replacement that lets you run SVGAlib apps via LibGGI. This allows you
to run most SVGAlib applications on any LibGGI target - e.g. in an X
window or on a 3Dfx card via glide, or ...

Just give every user the capability for every graphical primitive
(with GGI), and you can drop the SUID bit once and for all.

Check out the Linux Router Project, www.linuxrouter.org. Their
distribution is geared towards lan/wan routing, but there are .lrp
packages available which provide dhcp, dns, http, etc. And, all fits on
one 3.5" floppy.
As a plug, they make great routers too :)

Subject: DFP digital LCD monitor, Matrox card, framebuffer/X woes
Date: Sun, 02 May 1999 23:30:59 GMT
I am trying to get XFree86 running on my new computer. I have an
unusual monitor and graphics card: an IBM T55D digital flat panel LCD
display connected to a Matrox Millenium G200 with a DFP interface.
The card, which came with the monitor, is very finicky and not at all
the same as the standard analog Millenium G200, so the SVGA server
(the normal choice for this card) doesn't work. Therefore I have
resorted to using the framebuffer (fbDev) server with the framebuffer
support offered in the 2.2.5 kernel.
Problem 1: when I pass values to the kernel on bootup to specify
the framebuffer resolution, I can't get 1024x768 to work. 640x480 and
800x600 work fine, but when I give it an appropriate mode number for
1024 it either crashes (0x316) or gives an "Unknown Mode ID" message
(0x317-318).
Problem 2: I can't get the XF86_FBDev server to work, in any
resolution. The messages show that the server is deleting all the
modes in XF86Config and coming back with a "no valid modes" message
(the entire text is appended below). I specified a very generous
range of horizontal and vertical sync values in the monitor section of
XF86Config (it's a digital monitor, so these numbers don't really mean
anything).
I'm fairly new to linux, as my stilted attempts to explain my
problems probably indicate. If anyone has an idea as to how to
resolve one or both of these problems I would be in their debt.
Thank you,

Thanks, Jason. This was very simple to do, and it worked well

Red Hat is often sold to people who've never used any Unix or
Unix-like system before, let alone administered one. They may not be
running what most here would consider important multiuser systems, but
that doesn't mean they can't be hurt if someone breaks in.

Xerox had MS support. I tried it once; took 45 minutes or so to get to
someone who confirmed that, when they say "TIFF", they mean "TIFF as it
was more than four years ago", and have no plans of upgrading. To this
day, I believe Office is mis-reading some B&W TIFF6 files.

Date: Sun, 02 May 1999 09:53:32 +0200
Hi
Scince everyone seems to be switching to linux I thought I should take
the plunge as well.
I want to create a Linux proxy server out of my old 486 to be used in my
LAN
BUT I can't even install the darn program!!
This is what happens..
System used: 486DX2 66 /4 Mb mem / 2x ISA TCP/IP / 520Mb HD / 4x CDROM
Installing from CD (RedHat 5) / Created the bootdisk & ramdisk disk
/Fdisked and formatt my HD (one partition) and reset my system.
Install menu starts up just fine, used standard install, it detects al
my Hardware,initializes the ramdisks, finds the right partition, BUT
THEN :
TRYING TO MOUNT , COMPRESSED IMAGE FOUND AT BLOCK 0 , KERNEL PANIC!!!!
So I started to read HOWTO'S but couldn't find my error message,
I did however find in the error 11 message FAQ find that "green
computers" sometimes read a sort of compressed image to Ram to enable
the computer to go to sleep mode, I thought I had disabled my "energy
saving" settings in the BIOS ( and I had) but my monitor still falls
asleep after a couple of minutes. Now could this be the problem?, or am
I talking thrash here..
DO I :
Just need a tip from you ; )
Need to flash my BIOS with a newer version
Need to install a newer LINUX version
Not use Linux at all and sponsor uncle Bill by using NT
Thanks in advance
