Subject: Diald problem
Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2000 13:12:11 GMT
I have tried installing diald on a RH5.2 machine acting as a
ip-masquerading server. At the moment everything works fine if I dial
manually (using a ppp-on/ppp-off script). I have had to disable the
diald daemon however as everytime a local machine wanted to access any
internal network resource, diald tried to start up the connection. Is
there a way of only starting the connection when an external
connection is required. Finally, a better solution from my point of
view would be to have a windows 98 client program which allowed people
to turn the link on and off and view the status. Is this possible as
my family use Windows (they refuse to try Linux) and I am leaving soon
and want to leave the network set up properly.
Thanks
Mark

Yes you can use StarOffice for this, you won't have to BUY a whole suite but you
will have to download a whole suite.

Subject: Almost Lost New Hard Drive After Linux Install
Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2000 09:22:18 -0400
Hi,
the problem may be due to the basic hardware and bios
configuration, but it happened after an install of Mandrake 7.0
I just installed a 20 gb hard drive in my old pentium 166 system,
80 mb memory. The bios only recognized about 8 gb so I
assumed that I could put Windows on the 8 gb and then
proceed to install different versions of Linux on the rest of
the drive. I installed Win95 and then Mandrake 7.0. The
installation went without hitches. When rebooted the
system, I got "LI" and lots of zeros.
During the install of Mandrake, I made a seperate /boot
partition of 7 mb below the 1024 cylinders. It was very close
as it complained with 8 mb. Win95 would not boot either.
I removed the "linear" switch in lilo.conf and Mandrake booted.
Win95 still wouldn't boot.
I figured that I would regenerate the MBR via fdisk /mbr.
What happened was very disturbing. My Win95 boot floppy
would not boot, but the Linux boot floppy would boot.
I tried to regenerate the MBR by doing Lilo - u , which I believe
is supposed to do it, but it didn't.
The next step that I thought of was to make the new drive
a slave and put my old 6.4 gb Win95 drive as master. I figured
that I could somehow repair the drive with a bootable Win95
system. My old drive wouldn't boot either.
I decided that the only possibility would be to try to fix the
hard drive through Mandrake. I did fdisk -o, which put a
DOS partition on the hard drive. After I did it, I was able
to boot my Win95 floppy. I did fdisk / mbr and it did not
regenerate the C: drive. I used Partition Magic and deleted
the existing Win95 partitions and then used fdisk again.
I then tried to transfer the Windows DOS with sys c:
and it said system transferred, but it wouldn't boot. Then
I did format c:/s and I got a message "not enough memory
to load system." Then I did just plain format c: and it formatted
the c: drive without the system. Again, I did sys c: and the message
was "system transferred", but again it didn't boot and said "
missing operating system".
Finally I did format c:/s again and it said "system transferred"
and it actually worked.
This was the most frustrating time I ever had with a computer.
I can't understand why a change on the MBR of a hard drive
would prevent a DOS boot floppy from booting. I thought
that if the bios was set for A,C booting that the floppy would
take priority independently from the hard drive, whether it
was bootable or not or not even there, but it seems that what
probably happened was that the boot process somehow still
needs some sort of confirmation from the hard drive. I
wish I had a handle on what happened because I never want
it to happen again.
Does anyone know why it happened and how I can setup
my present hardware to do what I origionally wanted it to do?
Thanks
Mike

And just how does one tell a porn from a non-porn site? Not all
porn sites have sex, body-parts ... in their URLs. Even if one
could divine all the present porn URLs, by tomorrow some of them

One of the reasons you buy machines like that is because you
worry about hardware crashes.
Those machines typically have redundant, hot-swappable,
auto-failover for damn near everything : cpu's, memory, disk
drives, network interfaces, power supplies, etc. Some big IBM
machines are taken down for scheduled maintenance for a couple
hours a year. That's it. Other than that, they are up. We're
talking about "four nines" hardware: 99.99% up time. I don't
thing five nines is realistic, but four nines is.
You can rebuild nearly the whole machine one piece at a time
without even having to re-boot the thing.
If hardware crashes worry you, then PC platform hardware should
be the absolute last thing you buy.

Yes. You will have to have something running on the linux box that listens
for connections, and takes action accordingly.
Options :
1) use apache,
a) and a cgi script to do the work for you
b) use a java servlet .
2) Write your own daemon ( not too difficult) and take care of it.
3) write a program in any language, and put it into inetd.conf to service a
certain port
everytime someone connects to that port, the tcp wrapper will launch a
new copy of the program to handle the connection.
Ofcourse, there are inherent security risks to all of these ways.
One *must* only accept connections from the internal network.
Watchout for buffer overflow situations and never assume anything.
I'm doing something similar as a"Learn linux Programming" excercise, using
signal handling, ipc, the whole kit and kabootle. But it's a long way off
may be december ) before I finish and deploy it at home. I've got my folks
to telnet in and start the pppd daemon.
I didn't know you could use diald with 5.2 !

Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2000 14:30:06 GMT
Hi Jason,
The key to getting your file written is filesystem permissions. _Don't_
run a CGI script setuid root. It's just bad mojo. On RedHat 6.2
Apache runs as the user "nobody". All you need to do is make a
directory that is writable by "nobody".
mkdir mydir
chown nobody.nobody mydir
Then your script should be able to create and modify files in that
directory.
As for running cron every minute... it isn't a big system drain. I've
seen it done before. It may be more efficient to have a script running
that sleeps for a minute and then loops to check for your file before
sleeping again. In Perl, "sleep 60" would sleep for a minute. And if
you're going to have this script running in the background, you'll
probably want to run it with nohup (man nohup, it's pretty simple).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
RJ

Generate a key (ssh-keygen) with no passphrase.
Because I'm paranoid (passwordless keys are BAD!), I save the key into a
seperate 'identity' file and on the server side, I restrict what that key can
be used for.
For example, the key I use for mail reading in the server side
'authorized-keys' file:
from="thorin.cmc.net",command="/usr/local/etc/imapd",no-X11-forwarding,
no-agent-forwarding,no-pty 1024 35 107<snip>123 bem@thorin
That passwordless key (so I don't need to pass a key to fetchmail) can
-only- run imapd.

That module is for IP6. You don't need it.
Why is inetd trying to spawn sshd2? You don't want to do that. (sshd
generates a bunch of random numbers for a key on startup, and that can
take a while depending on the entropy pool of your machine... you don't
want to do that with every session.)
At least on Debian with the current OpenSSH, I don't have an sshd2:
plain old sshd handles both protocols and doesn't have to fork off a
process for a different one. (Which is what the non-free ssh does.)

So the build shown above is from apostrophe (ie, the server)?
Check your server config:
[gimli:~] 7:37:51am 470 % ldd /usr/sbin/sshd
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40019000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4001d000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40033000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x40042000)
libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x40046000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.5 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.5 (0x4004e000)
libwrap.so.0 => /lib/libwrap.so.0 (0x40118000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4011f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x401fc000)
If libwrap shows up, that's your problem.
Of course, also make sure you're running the sshd you think you're
running on the server. The inetd trying to find sshd2 messages above
look like you've installed the non-free ssh at one point and may still
have pieces of it installed.
You can see the version on the server by telnetting to port 22 and
looking at the greeting.
You should see: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.1.1

Subject: administrator privileges for user
Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2000 14:49:01 +0000
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The Redhat 6.2 distribution has a preconfigured user called "operator"
Eventhough I have granted this user all possible root-privileges, my
Redhat box wont allow this user to start up programs like linuxconf,
start up scripts in /etc/rc.d/ or any other stuff like that. How can I
get this user performing administrative task such as creating new users,
changing run level or similar?
thanks
