march=pentium is wrong for a start! It's not a 586. It's a 686 or
better. Are there 786's? Anyway, you want to treat it like a 386.
Optimizing for 586 will be disastrous on a 686.
aligning everything on 16byte boundaries may help a little, but -O3
would do that anyway. Why are you running -Os?

Install the nfs, wu for RH6.2 and LPR for RH7.0 Now.
Commands to update and effectively close these
vulnerabilities on Redhat Linux 6.2 server:
rpm -Uvh
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/i386/nfs-utils-0.1.9.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/i386/wu-ftpd-2.6.0-14.6x.i386.rpm
Commands to update and effectively close these
vulnerabilities on Redhat Linux 7.0 server:
rpm -Uvh
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/LPRng-3.6.24-2.i386.rpm
I did not do any installation of updates on RH7.0 because it was freshly
installed.
I got hacked this morning. I was wondering why my hard disk was
whirling.
I ran 'top' and found 'find' was running.
I turn netscape to 'http://localhost' and sure enough I was hacked by
the Ramen worm.
My printer does not print anymore because they exploited lpr.
I check my security logs and found the offending computer who launched
the attack.
When I turned my netscape to "http://xxx.yyy.zzz.www" and looked at
their website, it
came with the Ramen worm webpage.
I sent an email to CERT notifying about the hack on my computer.
To repair the damage, I went to
http://www.whitehats.com/library/worms/ramen/ and followed their
instruction.
It wiped out all of my index.html with the Ramen worm webpage.
I had to do an upgrade of all the RH7.0 packages I installed. (2 hours
of work)
I had to get all personal index.html from my quite recent backup.
I wrote to www.digitaldesk.com because they said it was a beneficial
worm in their news story.
What a shitty story!!!
The Ramen work causes too much damage to my computer.

Maybe it would be easier just to install
make from your original CDROM. Mandrake is
pretty good about doing all the work for
you, it does rpms by itself and most of
the stuff on the CDROM seems to be set
up properly so you won't run in to trouble.
If it tells you make is already installed,
at least you know. If it goes ahead and
installs it, it'll probably work right away
and you won't need to go through all this
diagnostic stuff and downloading so early
in your linux adventure.

Maybe when you flashed the BIOS it lost all its
old settings. Look at /proc/interrupts (and
even at /proc/ioports if you continue to have
trouble).
(I have an older BIOS and I always
disable plug n play, I don't know if that's
relevant with yours or not.)
Have you tried assigning the irqs by hand? Look
at man setserial, which I know is present on
both RH 6.2 and Mdk 7.2 for sure.
If this works you will have to put the
commands you used into some startup file --
in RH 6.2 I have used /etc/rc.d/rc.local for this
purpose, and in Mdk 7.2 I used /etc/rc.d/rc.setserial.

You may have already done this but just in case you haven't. Add this to
your firewall script just before the flush rules. It may not stop
spoofing but it will help as well as log it.

Hi! Im a bit confused about partitioning in Linux. I have a 20 gig HD
partitioned to 4(c/d/e/f). Win98 is in c. I intend to install Win2000 in d
for dual booting. I reserve free space of 5 gigs for RH7. Fips is saying of
with making new primary partition while Partition Magic and other disk
readme's tell you only 1 primary partition can be active at any time and
having 2 primary partitions visible can cause data loss. Im stuck in this
partition explanation and need help. Shall i use fips or disk druid to
partition my free space?

That appears to have done the trick. If used Windows more often, I

Hi,
Would anyone know how to set up a news reader (or server) to obtain news
from a news server requiring "Secure Password Authentication"? I can get to
the server using Microsoft Outlook Express (with a check on "Log in using
Secure Password Authentication") but I have not been able to figure out how
to set up anything using Linux. Any ideas? It doesn't seem that INN or
Leafnode are capable of getting in - or is there something else I need to
add to the mix? I have RH 6.2 loaded along with inn, leafnode,
openssl/openssh, pine, netscape, and all that.

then since last week, sometimes it reboots by itself without any reason

just like someone press the reset button suddenly. What is the problem? I

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your reply. It sounds very reasonable.
Still, cannot explain one thing: WinME works (!) after I did
disk repartitioning, but before loading Linux. It gets screwed
up after Linux install. If the problem was in shifted data
inside the partition, why it worked before loading linux?
By the way, do you have 1700T? Did you resolve the problem

I recently d/l a copy of the owner's manual. I've been going through
that as well and half of the settings like disable pnp aren't there
with the "new and improved" bios upgrade.
As far as the commands in RH 6.2 that were used in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and the ones you used in Mdk 7.2 /etc/rc.d/rc.setserial, could you
actully e-mail the scripts if you still have them? I really haven't
used setserial before.
I will be calling the company that I purchased the $90.00 upgrade
through (yes I could have almost a purchased a new motherboard) and see
what their take is on this.
I've -NEVER- seen this before.
