Hi everone again.
I have posted a message about my problem, but I have putted a bad
example. Here are better's
I'm running Mandrake 7.02 in a DTK PIII 500Mz with 250MB.
Recently, I have the next problem:
Basically I'm getting diferents dates in my system.
Just see this. Look at the modification date of files..
Example 1:
[hlp@burns planner]$ type date
date is /bin/date
[hlp@burns planner]$ ls -l h2maxforw.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 8332 Apr 8 19:24 h2maxforw.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 24984 Apr 8 07:29 h2maxforw.o
[hlp@burns planner]$ date
s�b abr 8 22:15:08 VET 2000
[hlp@burns planner]$ touch h2maxforw.*
[hlp@burns planner]$ ls -l h2maxforw.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 8332 Apr 8 22:15 h2maxforw.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 246 Apr 8 22:15 h2maxforw.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 24984 Apr 8 22:15 h2maxforw.o
[hlp@burns planner]$ rm h2maxforw.o
[hlp@burns planner]$ make h2maxforw.o
gcc -g -Wall -DCOMPETITION_OUTPUT -DH2PLUS_HEURISTIC -DH2MAX_FIX -c
h2maxforw.c
[hlp@burns planner]$ ls -l h2maxforw.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 8332 Apr 8 22:15 h2maxforw.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 24984 Apr 8 10:20 h2maxforw.o
[hlp@burns planner]$ make h2maxforw.o
gcc -g -Wall -DCOMPETITION_OUTPUT -DH2PLUS_HEURISTIC -DH2MAX_FIX -c
h2maxforw.c
[hlp@burns planner]$ ls -l h2maxforw.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 8332 Apr 8 22:15 h2maxforw.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 24984 Apr 8 10:20 h2maxforw.o
Example 2:
[hlp@burns planner]$ cat > a
da
da
[hlp@burns planner]$ ls -l a
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 6 Apr 8 10:24 a
[hlp@burns planner]$ date
s�b abr 8 22:20:01 VET 2000
Example 3:
[hlp@burns planner]$ echo bad date > b
[hlp@burns planner]$ ls -l b
-rw-r--r-- 1 hlp ai 9 Apr 8 10:29 b
[hlp@burns planner]$ date
s�b abr 8 22:25:17 VET 2000
Well, when I use a Makefile to compile the file (h2maxforw.c)
it always compile the file .c
May be that I specified am and pm form of date.
I SO tired about compile and recompile my files because
make doesn't detect correctly the dates.
Sometimes. I doesn't recognize the modifications.
It problem start two weeks ago.
Before that I didn't have any problems.
Somebody could help me??

Run
rpm -Va|grep '^..5'>/tmp/verify
Look through tht for changed files. Look for files which should NOT have
changed ( find, ps, ls , in.telnetd)
Install new good versions of these files (eg from your installation
cdrom)
Then do
find / -uid 0 -perm +6000 -ls
and check each of thse suid root files to make sure that they are valid
(eg that you changed them to suid or that they existed in the original
install-- rpm -Vf filename
where filename is the name of each of those files.
Check through your /etc/passwd file to find if there are any unknown
users ( especially uid 0 users) .
Change all of your passwords for everyone especially root. change all of
your ssh private /public keys, since root could have gotten all of them.
Sendmail could be the problem.
One of your users (you?) getting password sniffed and then an internal
hole exploted. (I have seen two-- one trying the crontab bug and the
other the usermode bug. The later worked.)
Or rip out everything reinstall, and then search for suid files (on my
system I got /tmp/banana, /usr/man/man8/oldpass.8, /dev/debug all were
root shell suid progrms)
Look in your files for connections from strange places.
Look for files like /dev/... /dev/.syslog as directories. Look for extra
daemons running ( eg rpc.crond, httpd) which should not be.

The last time I checked, you get standard Postscript fonts in
everything except math mode where you still end up with the CMR
math fonts. There are (maybe) two problems with that:
1) Mixing two different serif font families like that (CMR and
Times-Roman) will make a typesetting geek bleed from the
eyeballs. Most people, being so used to butt-ugly output
from MS-Word, won't notice. [It'll still look WAY better
than anything that comes of MS-Word.]
2) Unless you have type-1 CMR fonts installed, the pdf file
will contain bitmaps (at printer resolution) for the CMR
fonts. This will generally print fine, but previewers like
Acroread will attempt to scale the CMR bitmaps and generate
something fairly ugly. If this bitmap-scaling is done on
the entire document (as it would if you didn't do
\usepackage{times}), it's pretty annoying. If it's just a
few equations that don't scale well in a previewer, it's
probably bearable.
Most of the stuff I do for work has little or no math-mode stuff,
so a /usepackage{times} and ps2pdf does a good enough job for me.
Oh, BTW, unless you have a nice new copy of ghostscript, it
might not compress bitmap graphics (or anything for that
matter), and you can end up with really huge pdf files.

Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2000 03:37:49 GMT
Hello, I want to move /var to it's own partition. I have many empty
partitions. How would I do this without a full re-install? I've tried
moving directories to partitions and then making soft links to them and
it doesn't work. Also, I've tried a hard link, but, it says the command
is not supported. When I do a "ls -l /" my /usr, /root, /home, and / all
show up as if they were regular directories, but, they are each on their
own partitions.
Slakware 7.0 2.2.13 full install.

I've been using Free Agent (32-bit) under Wine for some time. If you're

Monopolies are definitely NOT against the law. Microsoft has been
declared a monopoly by a Federal judge. Using monopoly [power to sitfle

Even if the price HAS stayedthe same, the price of everythig else has
gone down, and the price of MS's OS as software has become a MUCH larger
piece of a computer's purchase price. Add to that the fact that Microsft
has driven compaines liike Go Computing out of business and the forced
sale of Netscape and you show a very definite harm to consumers.

Get this. Linux is "free", in that it is freely distributable. It can
also be "free" in that you can DL it for free 0$. The 2$ you pay
cheapbytes is not for the software, it is for the CD. The shipping
charge is not for the software, it is for the shipping. You CAN DL it
for $0... free.

Actually, untill M$ was pulled into court, you couldnt readily purchase
an Intel/clone computer without Windows pre-installed. It is still hard
to get one without Windows pre-installed, AND the cost of the Windows
removed from the purchase price.

I saw some discussion of this error ("requested alignment is not a constant")
on Deja in the context of compiling the kernel. In that instance, the
solution was a patch that included linux/cache.h in several kernel source
files. But in the files I checked, that file is already included. I
spent some time digging and I really don't see what the problem is (which
surely means I've missed something obvious).
Has anyone had success compiling this combination?

Subject: Re: Where to get setuser?
Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2000 04:35:20 GMT
What program, exactly, are you looking for?
I'd guess you're looking for "su" (called "sudo" on some
distributions). This allows you to switch from one user to another
without having to exit the shell and log in to a new one.
It's already installed; just type "su username" at the prompt
(substitute the username you're looking to switch to). If you're
logged in as a regular user, you'll be asked for a password in order
to switch. If you're already root, you won't need a password.
If you're looking to set the effective user ID of a program, however,
you just use the chmod program with a 4-digit permissions field
instead of the usual 3.
For a 4-digit permissions field, the first digit represents the
SUID/SGID/sticky permissions.
1 = set sticky bit
2 = set effective GID to GID of owner
4 = set effective UID to UID of owner
So, setting the permissions using chmod 4755 would give the owner RWX
access, and everyone else RX access. When the program is run by
anyone, it would have the effective permissions of the file's owner.
The permissions field would look like:
-rwsr-xr-x
In any event, you should have both programs already on your system, as
they are default and necessary utilities.

the error message "The dialing daemon has died unexpectecly" I can connect
with my freewwweb account but it is really slow.
Is there any way I can find the IP adress of my local DNS server? I think
that might be the problem.
Thanks alot

Maybe others will see this also. Glad someone agrees.

The second one is particularly neat.
I'm looking to put together a flexatx machine to run openbsd. Am I too
early? I know the products are just coming out, but I don't know enough
about drivers to know whether the new products are different enough to
break something. Like the video drivers sharing memory. Anyone with any
insight?

Subject: Problem with PPP and default gateway!
Date: 9 Apr 2000 05:03:09 GMT
Hi there. A number of people have posted on this topic but none of them seemed to have
address my issue. This is my scenario: I have two computers at home, one of which is a
gateway (192.168.1.1) doing IP masquerading. The other one 192.168.1.2 is an average
machine. When I use the gateway to dialup PPP connection and do the IP forwarding,
everything is fine. But occasionally when I use the other machine to dialup, the pppd
on that machine (192.168.1.2) refuses to replace the default gateway route. I think
that's already a fact of life for pppd. But is there anyway to walk around this? You
know I don't want to permantly remove the "route add default gw $GATEWAY" line from my
rc.inet1, because then I won't be able to use IP masquerading! Please help me.
Kenny
