The two SCSI chips are equivalent, yes. However, the SYM53C8XX *driver*
is of a later vintage and may have fixes the other driver doesn't.

If you are working with integers, there may be a "correct"
answer, but a soon as you move to floating point you will
find that no answer is "correct", some are just closer
than others. If your problem is important enough, you
might want to do some trial solutions with a multi-precision
math library, or interval arithmetic. So that you can
estimate bounds on accuracy and precision. But don't expect
to
get the same answer on different hardware, heck sometimes
you
don't even get the same answer on the same hardware. Just
changing "string" libraries or compilers can produce changes
in results. (String libraries from different ways of
converting strings to floats.)

Actually, as Rob Wehrli told me in this group a little while ago, you
have to use g++ to select the right libraries.

It worked. I substituted my user login name (the one provided by my

Thanks for the great suggestion, Bill! Now I have two ways of starting
pppd by a non-root user.

Why would a mail program be setuid? If this was really the case I
would consider this a _major_ security problem and would definitely
want to check my entire system for similar holes, or rather find out
how that could possibly have happened and reinstall the system to be
sure (not a problem since you can just copy your entire configuration
to the new system).
Having program suid root for no reason would lead me to think that the
system is compromised and I would not want to trust my abilities to
find all backdoors that could possibly be there.
Just opening your Xserver to everyone is definitely not the way to go.
Although it does look like a user differing from the one owning the
Xserver is trying to connect I just can't imagine how the mail program
could possibly be suid root.

you might want to try out the cygwin setup. it has many gnu (almost
unix but usually better) tools. this would be the same set you get
under linux. the cygwin stuff is a little quirky in that it's running
atop of windows instead of a unix.

This is good advice.
But the basic problem seems to be with Windows, not Linux.
What you did before should have prepared your disk for installing
Windows. What does the DOS/Windows fdisk show is on your disk
before you start installling Windows? Did you create a
Windows partition and format it?

Subject: SSH authentication ?
Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 16:37:25 GMT
Below is a summary of the steps that have been described in the man
pages of the SSH1 protocol authentication. However I'm hoping someone
can clerify them for me since it does not make any logical sense.
Here is where my confusion is:
a). In # 2 the MAN page said that the Server send it's Public key and
the Clients Public key to the Client. However what is there to prevent
a fake Server from sending that same Public key and the Clients Public
key to the client ?
b). In # 4 the the client then generates a random 256 bit number which
is encrypted using the Clients Public key and the Server Public key. If
that is the case how is the Server supose to decrypt the random number
since it would only know the Server Private key and not the Clients
Private key ?
If someone can clerify the whole process that would be great.
Thanks.
================================================
1. First a user types: ssh servername.ca
In Unix\Linux the client computer reads the ~user/.ssh/config and
the /etc/ssh/ssh_config files.
(Each client has a 1024 bit key to identify itself, and each server key
is 768 bits, and this RSA key is regenerated by the Server every hour it
is used or when the daemon starts.)
2. Once the client connects to the Server, the Server uses the RSA
Cipher algorighm and sends:
Server Public Key + Client Public Key which is stored on the server
/etc/ssh_known_hosts
(Client Public key was already on the Server since it was placed there
during the very first connection to the Server.)
3. Now the client check the Server Public Key against the one in it's
own list of ssh_known_hosts, and if
it's a match then we know it's the same Server. (Prevents Spoofing.)
4. The client then generates a 256 bit random number and encrypts it
using the client public key and the Server public key. This encrypted
number is then send to the server which only the Server can decrypt
using it's private key.
5. Now both sides use this random number as a session key to encrypt all
the communication during the connection. The rest of the session is
encrypted using the default cypher IDEA.
6. In the final step the client tries to authenticate itself using
password authentication. The .rhosts authentication is disabled by
default on the Server, since it is insecure. The Server can be
configured using command line options which will override the config
file.

I've done this on more than one occasion. It can be done, but
how depends on which tools you use. Also, you have to restore
each partition, one at a time, and backing up and restoring
the root file system has special problems.
One good way to proceed is to get a good rescue system which runs
in a ram disk. One good such system is Tom's root boot disk
which can be found at
www.toms.net/rb/home.html
This provides all the tools you need, but it has a few drawbacks.
One is that its tar doesn't have the 'z' option, so you have
to use it with gzip to compress the data, and that can be a bit
tricky. But it is probably more reliable not to compress anyway.
More seriously, the last version I got uses a 2.0.X kernel and
its fdisk is not entirely consistent with the one used with
2.2.X kernels. We have also used successfully the latest
rescue disk on the VALinux web site, which has an up to date
kernel.
You can probably manage to do the backups from the existing
system in single user mode with a command like
tar -cvlf /dev/XXXX YYYY
where XXXX is your tape device and YYYY is either a specific
directory like home or a list of specific directories or
in some cases a wild card. For the root partition,
you can cd
cd /
tar -cvlf /dev/XXXX list of directories
Make sure you don't include /proc or directories with partitions
mounted which you will backup separately.
You can add the 'z' option if it will be available when
restoring, but it isprobably better to do without it if you
have room on the tape. You can drop the 'v' option if you
want.
However, you would probably be better off doing the backup
from your rescue system since you will have to restore from it
and there is something to be gained from using the same version
of tar for backup and restore.
To restore, you have to have partitions with clean file
systems on them. You can create these from a good rescue
system, but note the issue raised about how the kernel
reads the partition table raised above. For example,
to restore the root file system, you would boot from your
rescue system, mount the partition on a directory created
for the purpose, say /a and then
cd /a
tar -xvpv /dev/XXXX
This assumes the tar archive contains the tars of the appropriate
subdirectories of / which were backed up.
NOTE. For purposes of backup, I think it is not worth the
trouble to backup the root file system and system files.
It makes more sense to backup all the crucial system files
that are particular to your system. These would be in
/etc/, /var, /usr/local, and perhaps /boot. Also backup
anything else that you need of that kind. And of course
back up all user files. Then if you have to restore a
system, just reinstall the OS and replace the generic files
with your versions. These can be retrieved from the tape
using a running system, as can the user files.
This involves some fiddling, but it is not more work than trying
to restore the entire system from tape.
An alternative to all of this is to use the dump and restore
commands. I have used these on several occasions on Sun systems,
but I've never tried them on a Linux system, so I don't know if
they really work as expected. The last time I tried I coudln't
do a remote dump, so the matter was moot for us.
The advantage of dump and restore is that one can do incremental
dumps and then during the restore one can in principle do
incremental restores which leave the file system in exactly
the same state as it was when the last incremental dump was done.
A simple tar won't do that since it will restore files which
may have been deleted. There is an option to tar for doing
that, but it looks fairly complicated and I don't know if it
is worth the trouble. I wouldn't try to do it with the root
file system in any case.
I've replaced a damaged disk and restored my user files from
tape on a remote Linux system by the second method outlined above.
I've also repartitoned my disk by using the first method except
that I wrote my tar archives to a disk rather than a tape.
