Hi,
From what I have deduced from scanning through the aforementioned
file, I presume it records all incoming connections. Am I correct??
Recorded in this file are several incoming connects to telnetd,
ftpd, imapd, pop3d, fingerd from ip addresses that are unfamiliar (ie, I
don't use computers with these ips). Should I be concerned about these
connections?? Are these connections intentional or incidental?
Here are some examples:
imapd[1041]: connect from 24.112.93.239
in.telnetd[1001]: connect from 206.145.135.10
in.telnetd[1001]: connect from 206.145.135.10
These (contiguous) messages _especially concerned_ me:
May 15 15:14:04 in.fingerd[680]: connect from 24.112.173.186
May 15 15:14:04 in.telnetd[681]: connect from 24.112.173.186
May 15 15:14:04 imapd[682]: connect from 24.112.173.186
May 15 15:14:05 ipop3d[683]: connect from 24.112.173.186
May 15 15:14:05 in.telnetd[684]: connect from 24.112.173.186
What can I do to get more information about these messages?? What
should I do to ensure none of these causes me a problem??
Any and all help would be appreciated!!
Sorry for _so_ many questions... but this is bugging me...

I was averaging 45hrs on the work units with my PII/350 with 128mb and
Win98. At first I disabled every background prog not needed,which helped a
little.
Then tried Fred's suggestion of turning off the graphics...
Wow, now running at almost twice the original speed.
Thanks Fred--

Not much different under windoze 95 with the "graphics" set to blank screen. Less

Check out /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Since the nobody user has no home dir, make sure you are using complete
path names from the root dir to access files. All files need to have the
proper permissions set for that user (nobody)also. If you still have
problems, check the server logs, the servlet exceptions get logged
there.

I have what appears like the same problem. My SB AWE32 pnp worked with
RedHat 5.1. I upgraded to RedHat 6.0 and after running sndconfig my sound
card worked. Then I repartitioned my HD and did a clean install of RH 6.0.
Now when I run sndconfig (Sound Configuration Utility 0.33) I get the
following message -
===============================================================
The following error occurred running the isapnp program:
Don't know what to do with CONFIGURE CTL0043/70951 (LD 2
on or around line 345
/etc/isapnp.conf:345 -- Fatal - Error occurred parsing config file --- no

===============================================================
This happens with both auto and manual configuration, just after it trys to
play a sample sound.

I am a longtime user of Windows NT and am pretty much sick and tired
of Micky$oft/Winblows and their related apps. Unfortunately, I am
constrained as that is what our research group has spec'd as its
computer standard at work. However, I can do whatever I want at home
and do much of my work at home (oh, the ease of the academic life).
What I want to do is install Linux on some free space on my current HD
or on a new, separate HD. I have a been shadowing the various Linux
NGs for a month or two and have a good grasp on how to install w/ NT
(want to do it this way until I am comfortable...plus my girlfriend
would never switch so I need the dual-boot option) and what to expect
during the general install procedure.
What I want to know is this: what are the consensus favorite
distributions and why? I have read up on just about every
distribution I can find and cannot deceide between RH6.0, Caldera 2.2,
and S.u.S.E. I really want the details as to why you like one
distribution vs. the others or why you particularly loathe one vs. the
others.

I have the same issue. My link is up and running, but Netscape still takes a long

Netscape with a blank homepage. Maybe, that will make a difference...

maxim (www.maxim-ic.com) has a bunch of diff DC-DC converters, very
efficient, few external componants needed, if you want to roll your own PS,
they will sample out a few parts at a time quite readilly. (they are harder
to get to ship in production quantities, but that's not relelven here.)

John,
I encountered the same problem when I first configured ppp under RH 6.0.
I was using netcfg (not linuxconf) to do the configuration. My ISP uses
PAP authentication. Yours maybe different. When I added the ppp
interface it asked for the phone number, PPP login and PPP password.
There is also a check box for PAP authentication. I checked it and
entered the phone number but nothing else. I then selected customization
and entered my user id and password under the PAP button. Everything has
worked for me since. I haven't delved into the scripts to find out what
is going on yet. Anyway give it a try.

The key question is whether your system is set up to allow these
connections to succeed (usually through the inetd, tcpd, /etc/hosts.*
system). It may be that you do not even want some of these daemons
to run. (Is imapd the daemon that had all of those Red Hat 5.0
security problems?)

24.112.173.186 (cr222868-a.ktchnr1.on.wave.home.com) is port-
scanning you, that is, connecting to a range of ports on your
machine, trying to find out what services you have open, possibly
in hopes of opening a breach.

Hello,
I just installed Red Hat 5.2. I have a 3Com 3c509 Ethernet card in
it. Linux sees the card just fine but I cannot ping the machine or
out from the machine. All my other machines are fine.
When I type ifconfig, this is what I get:

Anyhow, a friend suggested trying TCPDUMP. I looked and it is not

I am looking for help trying to get this NIC to work.,....if you have
any suggestions, please let me know.

Theoretically, I agree with you. In practice, I agree with Mark.
The odds of me not being able to get bits on a non-corrupt disk
from a linux box that I have physical access to is rather remote.

Subject: Target specific variables with make
Date: 24 May 1999 03:41:01 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm having trouble getting target specific variables to work with make,
I'm trying to use the following in my makefile:
solaris: CFLAGS += -DSOLARIS
solaris: $(OBJ) $(HDRS)
$(CC) $(OBJS) -o digitemp.solaris $(LIBS)
cp digitemp.solaris digitemp
There is also a linux target that uses the globally defined CFLAGS, when I
try to compile with make solaris it barfs out a message saying:
make: *** No rule to make target FLAGS', needed by olaris'. Stop.
So how the heck do I tell it that its a variable, not a target?
Thanks,
Brian
