They most likely got in through another service like 'named' or 'imap' etc..
and the rootkit replaced 'login', so they did'nt hack login, they prob. hack
another service in /etc/inetd.conf, (or maybe not), be sure you ONLY have
services you need on and the rest off, and the ones you keep on, make sure
you know exactly what the are doing. Keeping you software uptodate and
patched will help.

Who said anything about the adminstrator doing this.
#1 Users frequently trying things like this even if they are setup not to be
allowed to.

discussions of DHCP servers and or clients doing this every once in a while.

The bottom line is an assume makes an ASS out of U and ME. When a simple
ping would verify that the address is used it is very silly to to take this
stop. I believe implied here, but not stated is that the address would not
be assigned, but that the system manager would also be notified of the
problem.

The point is not to handle normal configuration in this manner, but to deal
with problems by checking for them. This is the same as my crossing the
street in a cross walk. I wait for the walk light, and then I check for any
cars ignoring the red light before I cross. This keeps you alive a lot
longer. In the same way double checking that an IP is out of use before
assigning it will keep your network alive and well.

IPv6 has been implemented, there are a lot of IPv6 backbones working in
tandem with IPv4. You can't just decided to use IPv6, what if your ISP's
router doesnt know how to use it? As far as how it works, it's just IP with
more bits.

Subject: Circumventing my ISP
Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 17:43:18 -0500
I am wonderring if anyone can help me find a way to circumvent some
firewalling my ISP is doing. Here is the situation (names have been changed
to protect the guilty):
~ I have a linux box on xxx.yyy.zzz.0/24 (say xxx.yyy.zzz.e/32)
~ Incoming traffic to this subnet can only come from xxx.yyy.0.0/16
without going though some ip manipulation to prevent servers on my
subnet.
~ I have access to a linux machine on xxx.yyy.0.0/16 which has two ip
addresss (lets say xxx.yyy.a.a/32 and xxx.yyy.a.b/32).
Now this setup the ISP has is all fine and dandy for Windows users, but I'd
love to be able to telnet/ftp to my machine from remote computers to do
things like get my mail and transfer files and such.
I would like to be able to take all traffic coming to xxx.yyy.a.b/32 and
send it to my machine on xxx.yyy.zzz.e/32. Is there a way to do this with
ipportfw, ipchains, ipfwadm, or anything? I've looked at ipautofw and it is
not acceptable because it would take traffic from both xxx.yyy.a.a _AND_
xxx.yyy.a.b and send it though. xxx.yyy.a.a must be able to get its own
traffic.
Can anyone help me with a solution? Is this even possible?
Please post and mail if possible.
Thanks,
Kevin Currie

With an external xDSL connector such as the FlowPoint 2200 it should be a
piece of cake.
Just set up the system so that the gateway is set to the FlowPoint DSL
router and you're up

Has anyone noticed any problems with this combination? I've had my
etherexpress16 working under 2.0.3x since I first installed linux with
vitually no problems... now all of a sudden after upgrading to 2.2.1 i
occasionally get the following error messages (usually after i put some

=============
??? reset timed out, kicking...
??? reset timed out, kicking...
??? reset timed out, kicking...

???= something like eth0 ixxxxxx.. can't remember the exact numbers..
Has anyone else experianced this problem? Or does anyone know what the

I can provide more details if someone gives me some indication of what
is required..

David,
Exactly what isn't working? Have you looked in the log file? I have mgetty set
up on my box, and can dial in from Win95 & NT boxes at work, without a problem.
Main points - What authentication are you using? PAP->Must have pap-secrets
file; CHAP->Must have chap-secrets file. Note that if you want to use CHAP with
M$ clients, you'll need the ppp patches for MSCHAP (I think - I haven't tried
this). My AutoPPP line is:
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login 192.168.25.100
Put the ip you want the server to have in the options on the AutoPPP line in
login.config.
Put the ip you want the client to get in /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX (substitiute
your serial device here).
Hope this helps.

I would like to implement IPSec between Linux w 2.0.36 kernel and a Nortel

anyone been able to successfully talk form a linux box to a commercial

Subject: sharing CD-R and Zip drive on a network
Date: Tue, 09 Feb 1999 21:04:08 -0500
I want to set up a CD-R, a Zip drive, and a 4 CD changer as a shared
resource on the network, all running on a linux box.
Here's how I envision this will work:
A user will stick a CD, zip disk, or CD-R in and mount it. This should
lock out any other users who attempt to umount it.
After the user is done, (s)he can umount the drive, and eject, and the
next user can use the resource.
These rerources will be available to the user (and group) across the
network during the time (s)he has them mounted.
I have no idea how this will work, as I can't suid the mount command. I
would lose what littel hair I have left with that mess :-o
I am looking for suggestions on how to work this. Is there a way to
restrict the mount command to allow any user to mount and umount a
specific drive?
TIA,
Yan

Hello,
I've a printserver (Linux) running and I want to print from my (Linux)
workstation. The printer on the printserver is installed and running.
The network is also running (NFS on both sides installed).
Which files do I have to modify on the server, and which
printcap-entries do I need on the workstation to get access to the
printserver's printer??
Thanks a lot for your help.

Subject: Using my linux equiped adsl system as a news server
Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 23:02:17 -0700
Can anybody point me to info on setting up my linux web server as a local
news server? I have a news server through my ISP but it is so slow I can't
stand it. (besides that it seems to delete messages after 2 days). Anyway
if I could just have the linux box regularly connect to the news server and
download the messages and then allow me to read them from my 95 boxes that
would be great. Or if anybody knows of a free nntp server that would be
willing to allow another connect for a few newsgroups that would be even
better.
Thanks
Kim Gross
