Which distribution are you using? (It doesn't already have apache built
for you??)
What procedure are you using for installing g++? What problems are you
encountering?
If you are installing your distribution's packages, you probably need
packages with names like gcc, g++, libstdc++, libc-development,
libstdc++-development, and binutils. (In some distributions, gcc and
g++ are cleverly hidden under names like "egcs".)

There's certainly no single correct answer for the "best" version of
Linux. As to the most secure, that probably depends on the match of what
servers and features a distribution offers to your needs. Mandrake offers
some install-time options to tighten or loosen security, so it might be
worth considering for easy setup, but I really don't know how tight it
makes the box on its tightest setting. In the end, there's no substitute
for knowing how to secure the box yourself, and doing so.
For my thoughts on various distributions, check my web page,
http://www.rodsbooks.com/distribs/.
A useful site on Linux security issues is the Linux Firewall and Security
Site, http://linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/. I list a few useful security
books on another of my web pages,
http://www.rodsbooks.com/books/books-network.html. If you're serious about
running a secure Linux box, be sure to read at least one or two of them
(or other books on the topic; I don't claim to have read every good
security book).

Subject: File Size Limitations
Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2000 13:58:57 -0600
Does Anyone know if there are any file size limitations in the 2.2.x
kernel? I am loading a variable block file from a scsi tape drive. It
loads approximately 2.0 GB and then stops but the file on the tape is
much larger than that. Smaller file sizes are read just fine. Does
anyone have any ideas or explanations for this behavior?
BTW - I am using "mt" to setup the block sizes and "dd" to read the file
from tape.
Thanks,
Larry

I also am confused about this (and thanks to all who have already
posted). Perhaps someone could explain what the System.map file *is* ?
I can't find any mention of it (much less an explanation) in the howto
or various documents I have found on the web including:
http://eunuchs.org/linux/unfry/unfry_content.html
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO-3.html
Also, I'm not clear on the relationship between the boot ram disk
(mkinitrd) and the System.map file. I found that if I used mkinitrd
before I installed the correct System.map file, my ram disk complained
that the aic78xx module I had was compiled for a different kernel and
therefore the boot stopped. It seems to me the system.map file is
needed by mkinitrd??? Is this how mkinitrd knows WHICH scsi module to
install on the ram disk?
There does not seem to be a way to specify different System.map file
per kernel. Rather, it seems the only solution is Ken Mort's method of
naming the files apropriately: message id

Subject: DNS with DHCP
Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2000 15:14:42 -0500
Hello,
I've had a static IP network setup for some time, but I would like to
try my hand at setting up a DHCP server. I got the server to work and
had my Win9x box grab an IP number (cool). The problem I have is that I
can't get DHCP to tell my DNS (same Linux box) server the name and IP
address of a computer when it connects. The only way I know ow to get
DNS to work is to hard code the IP numbers in, which is what I want to
avoid. In my dhcpd.conf file I do tell the dhcpd about the DNS server
but I do not know how to make it update the DNS table.
Please shine some light on this :-)

Hi,
yes, I think you have to change your Windows partition to get a
dedicated boot partition at the beginning of your HD. I had the same
problem (with the Suse distribution) ) and I didn't want to do such
risky thinks with mey new PC, so I started with a boot floppy, and after
having linux installed and running (booting from floppy), I installed
LOADLIN (a linux bootloader for DOS/Windows) on the windows partition
and a boot menu in config.sys / autoexec.bat so I can now boot linux
(different kernel versions) and if I really want, W98.
Take a look at the Loadlin+W95 mini howto. It should be in your
distribution, otherwise you can find the HOWTOs on
http://www.linuxdoc.org.

Secutity is relative, the most secure computer is one locked in a safe
without a power source, and all data encrypted with a sigle keypad that
you destroyed, but that's not very usefull.
Find what is for you the workable line between security and
accessibility.
It depends on how secure you want it to be, do you need to access it from
the network, do you have data that should _never_ fall into the wrong
hands, etc. And then there is the question of how capable an
administrator you are. If you have the most advanced system, but you
tape a note with your password on your keyboard because you keep
forgetting it......
If you use any commercial distribution, you can make it a lot more
secure by not doing a standard installation, but by selecting only the
packages you need. Don't install telnetd if you'll be using ssh (which
you should anyway). Debian and slackware are particularly usefull for
such an approach.
To secure any linux distribution:
* close all services which you don't use
* keep the system up-to-date by following the CERT security updates,
and follow security lists like fi bugtraq
* don't use applications that send passwords in plain text accross the
network, like telnet, ftp, pop3, imap, httpd
* if you do need those protocols secure them with ssl
* watch you system logs (usually found in /var/log)
* educate your users
* make back-ups regularly (and don't leave them in the main tape rack
where every one can get to them.) and keep a set offsite as well.
* encrypt particularly sensitive data, and properly destoy the clear
text data.
Read http://www.securityportal.com/lasg/
Most distributions depend on the same code base, so there's not much
difference there. RedHat is the most popular distribution, so when there
is an exploit, most likely it will specifically be directed to RedHat.
OTOH when you do the updates regularly that risc is much smaller.
BSD is the only platform currently doing a consequent security audit of
the _entire_ codebase, so that should make it more secure.
Distributions which apperently focus primarily on security are
NetBSD http://www.netbsd.org/
Bastille linux http://www.bastille-linux.org
Best distribution depends on taste, I prefer debain because I prefer a
system with prebuild packages, their philosophy and their superior
package management.

Are you also using the gdth-drivers-disk.img from the updates ftp
directory? Then at the boot prompt enter "linux dd" without quotes. It
will ask for the drivers disk when needed.

The sound come through a little cable (usually about 4 pins ) and
connected directly to your sound card via a similar connector. Most
sound cards have only 1 cdrom input for sound so you'll have to choose
which of the 2 you want.

I wasn't. However, I did try it, and it still didn't work. It didn't
even get to that stage. It only got up to "Uncompressing Linux...",
which was the third step after the boot: prompt, and then it blew up,
giving the crc error. Thanks anyway, though.

I dunno' 'bout what they say, especially since they say that Redhat doesn't
support loading 3rd party modules! Like, what?
All I can tell you is I downloaded and built 2.3.4 kernel with all the udma,
pci and promise stuff enabled(you have to tell make xconfig to show you the
experimental and developmental stuff) and now disk access kicks ass! You
don't need a benchmark to tell you it's faster! You can see the CPU isn't
doing all the work anymore just by watching the disk led! It's worth doing.

I recently tried Win4Lin (
http://aplawrence.com/Reviews/win4lin.html ). I've used
it's grandaddy (SCO Merge) for years, and was delighted to
find it for Linux- I happened to install it on Corel, but
the company says they test more on Red Hat- anyway, if it
works as well as the SCO version did, this will be great.

I'm getting this error when writing to a SCSI Iomega Zip 100 drive.
I've written 33 Mb to the ZIP disk and there's plenty space left on it
when this happens.

Just a wild guess: the directories man is to search for man pages may be
set either by the environmental variable $MANPATH or by the configuration
file (on my system) /etc/man.config. Is it possible that something has
gone wrong with one of those?

I don't recall if you said or not so this may not be of concern. If you
have downloaded the files from ftp you may want to go to ftp.redhat.com
and verify that you have all the files needed. I had problems with
missing files when I downloaded 6.1 as well as 6.2 but corrected it by
getting them directly from redhat. Also found problems with the symbolic
link files when downloading from windoz. GoZilla seemed to work the best
for me when I downloaded 6.1
Best of luck.

Which kernel are you using? I got that a few times while using kernel
2.2.5 (the kernel that shipped with SuSE 6.1 and RH 6.0) and that kernel
had problems with ZIP drives. Upgrade your kernel if this is the case;
data corruption can result if you're unlucky! The latest version is
2.2.15-preSomething, but 2.3.99-pre5 (the devel kernel) has been very
stable for me. YMMV, good luck.
