Lost+found is a standard part of the ext2 file system.
When there's a cold reboot or serious filesystem error, and fsck needs to be
run to conduct repairs, lost+found is the place where all inodes that get
disconnected with their filenames due to corruption get put.
These can then usually be used to salvage important file.
Let's just say, lost+found is important. Don't mess with it.

Yup. I had a VERY bad hard disk (replaced it recently), and fsck would run
almost every reboot. Quite a few times I saw the message
"lost+found full... Expanding" (or something similar)

I like to use powerquest's disk image
to back up partitions. It will only to
a complete image of a ext2 partition. Since
it will compress the sectors I would like to
wipe the unused sectors with '0' so they will
compress more efficiently.
Is there a utililty that will wipe the unused
sectors of an ext2 partition with a zero?

Uh-oh, Bill....Here's some of them:

S.5....T /bin/linuxconf
S.5....T c /bin/remadmin

S.5..... /usr/sbin/in.rshd
S.5..... /usr/bin/chfn
S.5..... /usr/bin/chsh
S.5..... /bin/ls
No wonder top wasn't working! (I'm sure I didn't mention that before,
but I noticed about a week ago that top would just exit. I found that
rather odd).
ls and find explains why I couldn't find his "..." folders. I
replaced that, and now find can locate them. I found a new one:
[root@server tom]# ls -al /tmp/...
total 31
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 30 20:32 .
drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 7168 Apr 10 10:55 ..
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 22093 Mar 30 20:32 bind
Dated right around the time that I found his filthy little fingers
in my mail and system logs. Now I am more inclined to believe bind was
the way he got in.
If inetd is not cool, then I can not trust that it is using my
inted.conf. It could have some port assignments that I don't know
about. Man. I could not even trust that ps was telling me all the
real running processes!

I definitely need a firewall....
Okay, I have re-installed from the source RPMs or from the most
current RPMs the files I was most concerned about in the above list.

Before installing fresh copies of the compromised files, I did what
you suggest above. As such, I can't entirely trust the output.
However, it did turn up a few interesting items:
/usr/bin/gpasswd
/usr/bin/crontab
/usr/local
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/bin/ssh-signer2
/usr/sbin/utempter
/usr/sbin/usernetctl
/usr/sbin/suexec
/usr/sbin/lpc
/usr/sbin/traceroute
/usr/sbin/userhelper
/bin/su
/bin/mount
/bin/umount
I know I did not manually replace those items....However, I find that
if I do rpm -V mount-2.9u-4 or rpm -V sh-utils-2.0-1 they pass.
> Sendmail could be the problem.
I think it is either sendmail or bind. But, it doesn't much matter at
this point. I need to implement a firewall. Clearly, if I had been
running named on the LAN side of the firewall, I would not have had
these problems (if he got in through bind / named)

I replaced ps and top.
There was another httpd, but I may have started that when I was doing
some mod_perl development.

Yes! IE3 had nice, small buttons. Netscape not only has big buttons, it
also insists on waving two other toolbars in front of you. You can't really
make them go all the way away. Gotta wave those partner links in front of
everyone! Try using Netscape with KDE. All you're left with is a tiny slit
of a screen.

When the OS becomes unusable after 6 months, they borrow the next version's
disk from whoever's around, and reload that, hoping it will have fewer bugs,
and last longer before crapping out.
But they're still using Microsoft product, whether they paid for it or not;
so they're just adding to the "network effect," making Microsoft stronger
than ever.
Pirating probably helps Microsoft more than anything. Everyone practically
"must" have a copy of Word, if they want to be connected to the rest of the
world.

it's like doing "make" and "make install". you're doing the "make"
part. you're not doing the "make install".
$ rpm -ba <package>,spec
or
$ rpm --rebuild <package>.src.rpm
are like doing the "make" part.
you have to actually install the package even after you build it. go to
the i686 (or i386) and
$ rpm -Uvh <package>.i686.rpm
this will install the binary *and* update the rpm database. this is
like "make install".
some rpm builds install into your filesystem (this is a legacy of lazy
packagers or old-style spec files). some rpm builds (most modern
ones) install into /var/tmp/<build-root> (or under /tmp sometimes).
the former are having their installation left behind. these you are
finding to be installed. the latter are (presumably) living in
/var/tmp. you are not finding these. neither are updating the rpm
database.

I tested this on a DJ970Cxi, but it should work for any PCL3 printer. I

By the way, you won't get photo quality, but it's still pretty good.

I thought it was installed automatically? I used to be able to do

The error message I get is:

Hi,

drive detects correctly. Please give me any hits. Thanks.

Subject: mv directory emptied files
Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 15:05:02 -0400
I copied many files into subdirectories
/myfiles/products
/myfiles/customers
/myfiles/staff
I decided to put the subdirectories under a common directory
mkdir /myfiles/store
cd /myfiles
mv products ./store
mv customer ./store
mv staff ./store
All the file names moved but now some of the files are empty. There seems no
rhyme or reason to this. (By the way, I was logged in as root when i did the
mv commands)
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Stacey

Subject: generic scsi driver
Date: 10 Apr 2000 13:09:18 GMT
Is there anyone out there working with the generic scsi driver (my kernel
is 2.2.14-5.0)? The scsi driver howto was a good start, but leaves out a
lot.
My latest revelation is that the "real" scsi driver buffers a lot. I've been
writing to the disk with the generic driver and /dev/sga, and checking
results with "dd </dev/sda" - and actually not checking "results" at all,
but rather what must have been buffered much earlier. :-(
Is there a place where scsi or driver folks hang out?
Thanks.

I am not sure exactly how or if it works... but my guess is that
your only hope lies in samba. I think that samba has some facility
whereby you can authenticate users over the network from an NT domain.
Maybe somebody else can offer more help..

So can NT if it is properly set up.

You think that running NT on a Vax (I thought NT on a vax was called VMS
myself but still....) is the same as ripping off Multics and calling it
innovation?
