Ah.  That explains why I never configured it manually then.

Make local KDM connect to remote KDM automatically?

2004-05-10 Thread Silvan
I set up a simple terminal/server arrangement using a PII-233 with a native 
install of Debian as the terminal.  I used to do this kind of thing with 
LTSP, but I'm getting away from that.

I currently have a script out of /etc/init.d that runs X -query [server].  
This works fine as far as my users ever notice, but if there's ever any 
reason to kill X, it doesn't respawn, and I have to intervene manually.

Seems to me like there's some bit of magic I can work to get the terminal's 
KDM or XDM to query the server automatically.  That way I can be running ?DM 
on the terminal in the usual respawning fashion, and still have it manifest 
itself as a login screen for the server.

The virus doesn't give a flying fsck if no MTA answers, if it gets a
4xx or 5xx error, if I accept it, or the MTA responds that they're
being redirected to Abu Gharib.  They'll keep trying repeatedly no
matter what.

If they're smart, no, because they're getting a 5xx error...

No, a bounce is when you're getting an automated answer or get
forwarded elsewhere without human intervention.  A 5xx SMTP response
is more properly called a reject.

80% of messages sent by the list bouncing in a rolling 24 hour window,

They'll both count the same. The only ones that don't count are `soft'
bounces, ie stuff that matches:

* 1^0 ^Subject: WARNING: message delayed
* 1^0 ^Subject: Delivery Notification: Delivery has been delayed
* 1^0 ^Subject: Message status - opened
* 1^0 ^Subject: (Returned mail: )?warning: c(an|ould )not send m(essage fo|ail afte)r
* 1^0 ^Subject: Undeliverable (RFC822 )?mail: temporarily unable to deliver
* 1^0 ^Subject: \*\*\* WARNING - Undelivered mail in mailqueue
# Soft bounce from Courier Mail Server
* 1^0 ^Subject: WARNING: delayed mail.
# Soft bounce from Postfix
* 1^0 ^Subject: Delayed Mail
# Soft bounce from MDaemon?
* 1^0 ^Subject: Transient Delivery Failure

Matching the actual codes is non-trivial as every MTA uses a different
syntax of giving us result, this is an alright approximation in terms of
matching temporary bounces...

Finally, yes you should stop asking questions inside other questions, as
you will find otherwise, that people will only answer the questions you
don't want answered, while ignoring the important ones you did want
answered.

I'm unsure of where to start looking. /var/log/syslog? dmesg? Should I be
looking for a card that fails to load, or something else?

Re: 2.6 and nvidia

2004-05-10 Thread hanasaki
My nvidia is due in the mail soon.  The nvidia packages from apt-cache 
search seem to depend on the 2.4 kernels.  Could you walk me through the 
steps to get get the nvidia drivers built/installed on kernel 2.6.x?  I 
have built the kernel with make-kpkg.  Also, Any specific options to 
choose/not choose in the kernel .config?

thanks

Were there any package conflicts?

I had an ati card and after using alien to convert their .rpm to a .deb 
it installed fine but created mesa depend conflicts.  Wondering if the 
same happens on nvidia?

That error almost always indicates that you lack the appropriate line

eth0 line hasn't been changed or commented out?

So long as the line is there, even if you do not have the correct kernel

would get something like "No such device", or "Bind socket to interface: 
No such device".

, probably hotplug has attempted to configure your wireless card, and 
has done so incorrectly. Does the configuration displayed by the 
intervening "ifconfig" have the correct parameters for your wireless 
network?

But that's another issue. You should determine what is wrong with your

problem with gs package in testing? (printing problems in Mozilla)

2.6.5 -- I broke the internet

2004-05-10 Thread Emma Jane Hogbin
Apologies for the cross-posting...

I'm at a complete loss as to why I no longer have the internet post 2.6.5
install. I can boot into the old 2.4.22 kernel with no ethernet problems,
so I know it's not a hardware problem. Neither my ethernet card, nor my

using beta4 installer, with kernel 2.4, configured lvm, installed lvm2 
package, compiled kernel 2.6.5, rebooted.. and lvm came up just fine. If 
lvm2 package is missing than you will get lvm working under 2.4 but not 
under 2.6. I remember reading somewhere that lvm10 and lvm2 packages are 
smart, they basically install proxy lvm tools which determine your 
kernel version and run appropriate userspace lvm tools (10 for 2.4 and 2 
for 2.6). I don't remember where I've seen this information though...

Right.  I have a kernel built with identical options on another machine
where the card still works.  I also booted into an earlier kernel on the
machine where the card isn't working and it still didn't work, I'm almost
certain the card used to work on that kernel.

> Can you otherwise modprobe or insmod the atmel_cs module successfully?

Yes, I can modprobe/insmod atmel_cs, and it shows up in lsmod, but is
unused (Used by 0).

The card is working on another system (same exact model--HP OmniBook 500)
on 2.6.5.

Yes.  As I understood it, I needed to create a custom smc.conf for this
card's manfid to get it to load the modules.  The smc.conf didn't change
from the time that it was working and that it wasn't working.

(am I missing a reference with the "9000 series"?)

It's weird.  At this point, I have two nearly identical laptops, but
running more-or-less Debian unstable (some experimental packages on the
one that's *not* broken), and the WiFi card works on one but not the
other.  So I would be tempted to think there *is* hardware malfunction on
the other, but the modem card works on that one, so it can't be that the
PCMCIA slot is totally dead.

I guess I would appreciate suggestions for how to narrow this down to
hardware or software, and/or anything else with the software...

buffer overflow is relatively trivial to fix in comparason to other
security issues ( you have the source code to review and put your
stamp of approval on tit - so to speak )
- ie ... write a tool or use a tool to check for buffer overflow

congrats !! ... security is usually not the 1st priority when writing code

and if you notice, even supposed secure code still require security 
patches and fixes because nobody can forsee any problems "once"
and requires constant review

for me, its not important  i use my own smurfy goofy rules for

what kind of security issues are you looking to solve ??

( upgrades ==> improve its security - compared to its default distro )

---
- is your door locked ? to the where the supposed secure computers are
---

- security policy specifications ( computer and people management ) ?
- kernel security upgrades ??
- ssh/ssl security upgrades ??
- apache seucrity upgrades ?
- mta security upgrades ?
- file system upgrades ?
- user-land whackyness upgrades ?
- vpn security upgrades ?
... on and on ... its a 24x7 full time job

if security is an issue, than in my world of security, you cannot
be using these apps/methodology
- telnet, ftp, pop3, imap,  
- dhcp, wireless, vpn
- laptops .. easiest way to break ones security policy

and if security is an issue ... you will have lots of layers of
security policies that if the INTERNAL or external [h/cr]acker
gets thru one vulnerability, they can have fun playing there, but
they have to have another skill set to get pass the next hurdle

True.  Whether or not you get booted depends on the signal-to-noise
ratio on the list for a given time period.  (Some MLMs use a flat-rate
cutoff and some are time- or quantity-based)

Not offhand.  I do know that the list manager will, as a last-ditch

list.

The difference is network and processing overhead.

If you reject the message, then your machine never actually places it
on the queue and never has to process it later.  Similarly, murphy has
already opened a network connection to your machine and is told right
then-and-there that you won't take the message.

OTOH if you bounce after accepting the message, then your system has a
bounce on the queue which it must process later.  Your system must
open a network connection to murphy and give it a new message to
deliver to the MLM's bounce handler.

| Do both bounces

| (is it correct to call a 5xx reject a "bounce"?)

No.  A bounce is a new message, generated by a mail server, sent to
the (envelope) sender to inform them of a delivery failure.  A 5xx
reject is refusal on the part of the receiving mail server to get its
hands dirty.

Yes.

| Should I stop asking questions (sort of like this one?) inside other
| questions?

Well, it does make in-line repsonses a little more difficult :-).


Note that I don't really care much whether you reject or discard
viruses.  Just be aware of the implications of each option and make a
choice.  Whatever you do, though, don't bounce or send "friendly"
alerts to addresses found anywhere near the message (header or
envelope).  It really is quite annoying to get "you sent me a virus"
messages when I have done nothing of the sort.

 Any camera which uses the USB mass storage method should work just fine, as
it can be mounted as any disc, in /camera, for instance, if you have defined
it in your fstab. Then you can display, copy , delete, whatever file you want,
I have a Minolta Dimage Z1, and it works nicely. I could not use gphoto2 or
digikam, though. I could not find configuration options to tell my camera
used USB mass storage, or, if there was an option, it did not work for me.
So in the end I'm just mounting/unmounting the camera, and moving files from
command line. In my case, I don't mind not having a GUI, since I later
upload all files to another machine and then organize them with gallery.

Recovering data from a corrupted disk

2004-05-10 Thread Paladin
Hello everyone.
 
An IDE hard disk I have has just got corrupted. I've been able to salvage all my 
personal data before its last "breath" but I still need to get the Debian package list 
from it. "gpart" has no success in recovering the partition table I'm testing now with 
"testdisk". I don't know if I'll be able to recover the partition table with this 
program so I'm open to ideas regarding other (free and not-free) tools as well as 
other ideas in order for me to recover my package list.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Vitor



RE: HD recovery & debian installation mirroring (& others)

2004-05-10 Thread Paladin
Thanks again! :)
 
I'll do that! But in the meanwhile i'm testing the "testdisk" program to see if it can 
find the partitions, since gpart is not doing anything. It would be easier if I could 
chroot to the partition and run the dpkg -l or something like that.

Hrm. So far as I know dpkg --get-selections should be the same as dpkg
-l, which lists all currently installed packages. The output from both
is identical on the system I am sending this from.

I'm sure there are many sophisticated tools for recovering data from
faulty disks and corrupted file systems, but I have no experience with them.

You can, however, use the "dd" command to get at the raw binary data and
then see whether you can track down the file you need.

But I'd recommend against this. Instead, you might want to start a new
thread (or rename this one) with a name like "Recovering data from a
corrupted disk".

Good luck.

Try adding something like this to Section "InputDevice" of the
XF86Config file:

Option "Resolution" "256"
You can then change the number to affect the speed of the
mouse.

or you can use "xset m 4 1" in your  /.xinitrc where
4 is the mouse acceleration as compared to the default speed
and 1 is the threshold (1 means disable the threshold)
More in the man page of xset

problems with cdroms and sarge

2004-05-10 Thread Brent Bailey
I'm having a couple of problems with my sarge installation.  I can't
seem to mount the cdrom or cdrw.

$mount /dev/hdd
mount: /dev/hdd is not a valid block device

The fstab file looks like this:

proc/proc   procdefaults0   0
/dev/sda9   noneswapsw  0   0
/dev/sda1   /   ext3defaults,errors=remount-ro

/dev/sda6   /varext3defaults0   2
/dev/sda7   /tmpext3defaults0   2
/dev/sda8   /home   ext3defaults0   2
/dev/hdd/media/cdromiso9660 ro,user,noauto  0   0
/dev/hdd/media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0   0

/dev/fd0/media/floppy   autorw,user,noauto  0   0
/dev/hdd/cdrom  iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0   0

when I punch in dmesg I get a lot of the following:

I don't know what DMA is.  I take it that parport0 is my parallel port,
but nothing is connected to it (which might be why FIFO (first in first
out?) is stuck)  Is there a way that I can dpkg-reconfigure my cdroms?

I know that they work (they were used to install sarge and still play
music out of the headphone jack)

Any help would be appreciated,

Brent

Note: Installing Debian and installing X are two totally different 
things. You have successfully installed Debian, or you wouldn't be able 
to login and type "startx". What you haven't successfully installed 
and/or configured is X (the X Window System).

You should be able to find a log of the X attempt in 
/var/log/XFree86.0.log. Look in that file for any lines that begin with 
(WW) and (EE). Those are the lines that should provide the info needed 
for fixing your problem. The error message you posted above are generic 
messages that are essentially meaningless.

Probably what has happened is that your video settings are incorrect, 
and there are "no screen" settings defined in your X setup that work 
with your hardware. These settings are stored in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. 
Although you can manually edit this file by hand, as a general rule you 
want to avoide doing that on Debian systems and instead run 
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86". Some things to pay attention to are 
the video chipset driver ("ati" vs "vesa" vs "nv", etc), the 
horizontal/vertical refresh rates, the resolutions you want to try to 
use, and the number of colors. You may want to try dropping your 
resolution/colors to see if you can make any progress.

At any rate, post the error messages in the log as I mention above; 
that'll go a lot farther toward helping us to help you.

Drop /after/ accepting?  Would that not mark you (in the virus' eyes, 
anyway) as a potential target?  What with viruses having their own 
builtin SMTP engines these days and hence knowing for sure what response 
was given to the SMTP session, is that not potentially inviting future, 
smarter viruses (with memories for this sort of thing) to hit you first?

I should have said - I've followed Paul's instructions on ursine.ca to 
set this up, and am consequently rejecting at SMTP time.

I'm unsure as to the difference between accepting a mail and bouncing 
later and rejecting at SMTP time as far as murphy is concerned.  (I'm 
fine with the general difference for normal mail.)  Can anyone venture 
an opinion?  Do both bounces (is it correct to call a 5xx reject a 
"bounce"?) count similarly negatively when working out who shouldn't be 
on the list anymore?  Should I stop asking questions (sort of like this 
one?) inside other questions?

Answers on a postcard, please ...

You must ensure in addition to that, that you're loading the "ide-scsi"
module (and its faithful follwer "sg" at boot). Check that they're listed
in the file:

/etc/modules

and if not, add them to it.

Changing the append statement and running lilo  didn't work.

I know that I did get cdrecord to work on this box under
Solaris X86. ( that's how i burned the debian CD's).  I really don't want
to re-install Solaris x86.  I want to run debian, and I need cdrecord to
work on it.  Might you have any other suggestions?  When I installed
Debian, I installed the idepci flavor.  Should I re-install with the
vanilla flavor?

RE: HD recovery & debian installation mirroring (& others)

I'm sorry for this type of mail, but I can only use webmail...
 
I don't think I will be able to get that file now... unless doing some hard recovery 
of the disk. I was able, in the begining, to read the full disk and I did a "dpkg 
--get-selections" and saved the result, but I think this won't be enough, right?
 
I have a operable Debian system, I'm using it to try to recover the disk. But without 
that file maybe I could grep it? Does recover work on a disk without partitions? :/

/var/lib/dpkg/status

Look for packages with a "Status:" field of "install ok installed". The
"Package:" field is the name of the package.

Do you have an operable Debian system that you can look at to get the
format of records in this file so that you can write up a quick script
to do it for you?

Can you still mount the partition?

This error has nothing to do with the installation of debian. For
starters, debian has nothing to do with configuring or using X for that
matter during install, and secondly, installation has already completed by
the time you get around to this.

I would re-run:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

and do things properly. Beforehand though, make sure you look at the
output that:

lspci

gives you, and obtain both the BUSID and the correct make of your chipset
for the graphics card you have.

That's exactly it, though squid is capable of proxying https and other

Almost.  murphy generates a bounce and sends it to the list manager

running).  The list manager then counts that against you in its
determination of which addresses are invalid and need to be removed
from the list.

It's up to you, now that you know the consequences.

My choice is to simply drop viruses.  I don't expect to have any legit
messages falsely identified as viral, and dropping the message simply
removes waste from the network bandwidth and disk storage of the
world.  I see no need to push the bounce back at someone else,
particularly since the offender is rarely the one punished in that
case.

I do, however, reject messages with certain spam-like characteristics
(for example, invalid sender domain).  As a result, one of the lists I
subscribe to periodically sends me a "probe" to see if my address
really is invalid.  Of course, the probe works and I am not removed
from the list, but it is still annoying and wasteful of resources.

The way I would do it:

1. pdf2ps in.pdf out.ps
2. convert out.ps out1.jpg
3. Open out1.jpg with gimp
   See on the screen what are the coordinates of the area that you want
   to crop. Write them down.
4. convert -crop (see man convert) -resize (may be needed, don't know)
   out1.jpg out2.ps
5. ps2pdf out2.ps final.pdf
6. rm out*

You may need to play with psnup, pstops (check that) to insert some
step between 4 and 5, perhaps to get 2 pages in one, as wanted by you.

I know that debian releases security patches that solve many of these

 that the packages in general are not built with security in mind 
(which makes sense because most people programming an editor are 
probably not terribly concerned about curious users monkeying around 
with their programs too much).

How important of an issue do you guys feel this is and do you think 
projects like bastille are important towards this effort?  Also,  I 
do not know of any other debian compatible security packages and 
would love to learn more about them.
Whether or not a software application itself is security-minded is 
primarily a judgment call about the application's developers, its 
security model, and its maturity.

You say, "all their efforts are for naught if the package is built 
insecurely, (like the common buffer overflow)". This is usually not the 
domain of the distribution or packager.

When 99.9% (eh?) of the development work is done by the upstream 
developer, looking elsewhere to make security judgments about the 
software would seem to be a mistake.

Just because a software application has been packaged in a distribution 
for 6 years, does not mean that it is in any way secure or even "more 
secure". It may have a user base of 10 people. That the software is 
available as a .deb tells you very little beyond an expectation that it 
will be version compatible with the rest of the distribution.

The distribution package - the .deb - is security neutral.

Further, I do not believe there is a 1:1 correspondence between software 
which is packaged and software which it is worthwhile to divert people 
resources to for development or testing.

Shouldn't development and testing resources be allocated by the upstream 
developers and those who fund them?

You, too, should read the discussion of the patch, where it's revealed that
it does no error correction, no jitter correction, and no ability to deal
with a scratched disc.  It allows through all the problems that
applications like cdparanoia were created to fix.

I reiterate, if you're going to rip the disc, then get on with it already

Try it this way pls.

Directly after your BIOS has loaded you'll get a list with all your devices
& their path on the PCI bus and also on the right the irqs which are used by
the devices, what does this tell you? To stop the loading process simply
press pause :-)

Are there any devices which share/have the same number?

Hmh, I don't quite get that, do you mean you've got an ide pci card of some
sort? The thing is, at least with older machines that the bus speed is not
high enough, so getting lots of network pakets and using an additional ide
pci card (even worse on a shared slot) could cause such an effect. Intense
work on 4 harddiscs and 1 or 2 network cards, could result in high cpu usage
and, how to say that? high bus activity.! Which also means that Requests
from other "lower" devices on the systembus are "dropped" at least held
back.

It's not so easy to explain it in English, I hope you get what I mean :/

Not really. You only need functions when doing more complex things. You
can only get the arguments passed when using a functions, and you can
only 'return' when using a function.
Oh. About unmounting, you could try something like:
alias win-='puhsd ~/; unmout /dev/hda1; popd', so you get back to where
you were when you run it.
I presume you meant pushd instead of puhsd.   I just ran a trial

win+ was executed -- /mnt/hda1 remains in the prompt.  I've 
never had a problem with alias win-='cd; umount /mnt/hda1' so
I guess I'll stay with it.

The 'mousedev' is a kernel module.  The file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is
a config file for XFree86.  Installing a kernel module is not going to
do anything to your config files.  Why would you think it would?

The xserver-xfree86 package contains a configuration script for X.
You may or may not use it depending upon how you configured it.  If
you used it to configure X then you may use it to reconfigure it.  But
if you have been editing the file by hand then DO NOT use the
configuration script or your changes will be lost.  In that case you

Here is my Odyssey of 2.6.x:

It actually started with me installing 2.6.0-test(something) and udev
quite a while ago (in internet terms a while ago). Every Freaking time I
installed udev, everything just died.

udev went bye-bye every-time I tried it, mainly cause I didn't have time
to mess with it.

So, here I go and actually build an exact replica of the Herbert Xu
Debian Kernel 2.6.5-1(2.6.5-4 revision) .deb and headers.deb and an
nvidia-modules.deb (1.0-5336). (I rather like to do this :) I can post
my madness^Wmethods for everyone to see, if anyone cares to see it.

I installed the kernel, nvidia, udev and VMware I was determined to make
it work. As neither the nvidia or vmware modules put info in the sysfs 

BTW put this into your fstab:

  sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
  none /sys/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0

It is needed to really make the whole process work better. I still am
using hotplug, so I removed discover(1 and 2) as hotplug and discover
overlap something fierce.

Well, I ended up having to add "nvidia" and "ide-cd" to /etc/modules and
make a script that created the udev nodes every-time (as neither nvidia
or VMware) to function properly.

here are the scripts:

/etc/init.d/mknvdev
Begin
#!/bin/sh
 
if [ -e /dev/.udev.tdb ]; then
  for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do
  node="/dev/nvidia$i"
  rm -f $node
  mknod $node c 195 $i || error "mknod \"$node\""
  chmod 0666 $node || error "chmod \"$node\""
  done
  node="/dev/nvidiactl"
  rm -f $node
  mknod $node c 195 255|| error "mknod \"$node\""
  chmod 0666 $node || error "chmod \"$node\""
fi
 
exit 0
End


/etc/init.d/mkvmdev
Begin
#!/bin/sh
 
if [ -e /dev/.udev.tdb ]; then
  for i in 0 1 2 3; do
  node="/dev/parport$i"
  rm -f $node
  mknod $node c 99 $i || error "mknod \"$node\""
  chmod 0600 $node|| error "chmod \"$node\""
  done
  for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do
  node="/dev/vmnet$i"
  rm -f $node
  mknod $node c 119 $i || error "mknod \"$node\""
  chmod 0600 $node || error "chmod \"$node\""
  done
  node="/dev/vmmon"
  rm -f $node
  mknod $node c 10 165|| error "mknod \"$node\""
  chmod 0660 $node|| error "chmod \"$node\""
fi
 
exit 0
End

(don't forget to flag them executable and owned by root.root)

I then created symbolic links in /etc/rcS.d/ as

  S26mknvdev -> ../init.d/mknvdev
  S26mkvmdev -> ../init.d/mkvmdev


Which is right after devmapper starts and way after udev starts.

That is how I have taken care of my problems... might not be "proper",
but then again it does work... EVERY-TIME!

are you referring to 'make'ing X or the kernel?
couldnt you just reinstall what was overriten?
or remove the X packages and install them?

agpgart is a kernel module and it should be available on debian
kernels. If you use a custom kernel you will need to make sure you
compile it (at least as a module), it should be under character devices.

It is loaded automatically by modprobe when loading the card driver
which is probably loaded automatically by the X server.

David, you were absolutely right. The lilo error was down to the 2.4
kernel not having device mapper built in. Running lilo when running
under 2.6.5 produced no error.

I did update the lvm-common and lvm10 packages to the latest (I'm
running Sid btw). But this produced the same thing (no mounted lvm),
although I've noticed some additional errors during bootup now. Here is
a small bit from /var/log/boot:

...
All modules loaded.
Setting up LVM Volume Groups...
vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded?
vgchange -- LVM driver/module not loaded?
...


As far as I know, LVM is built into my kernel. In the menuconfig I
selected to build in the multi device support (didn't bother with RAID
since I dont need it). The section from my .config is as follows:
#
# Multi-device support (RAID and LVM)
#
CONFIG_MD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=m
# CONFIG_MD_LINEAR is not set
# CONFIG_MD_RAID0 is not set
# CONFIG_MD_RAID1 is not set
# CONFIG_MD_RAID5 is not set
# CONFIG_MD_RAID6 is not set
# CONFIG_MD_MULTIPATH is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y
# CONFIG_DM_CRYPT is not set


Is this enough or am I missing something?

mouse + gtk problems.

2004-05-10 Thread MrVanes
Since some time I have problems with my built-in Touchpad PS/2 mouse device
under X.

It's there, I can use it and it's fine. Until I start a gtk (1 or 2)
application and it's gone. It took a while to discover this was the
problem, since I thought this mousedevice just 'disapeared' after a while 
(I normally use my external USB mouse).
It's seemed to disappear only after I started firefox (which is gtk based)
and after testing, even the configuration tools 'switch' and 'switch2' kill
the internal PS/2 mouse/touchpad.

Anybody any idea why this happens?
I don't use gpm, but could it be that gtk apps start gpm-like services under
water?

Once closed I cannot bring the internal mouse back to life, I need to
restart X for that. At least, that's what I figured out so far.

Oh btw, I normally use KDE, so gtk apps are 'foreign' for my DE.

Regards,
Martin

Re: Secure OS's

2004-05-10 Thread paul
Thanx for the quick response and appologies my the delay in mine.

I now realize that my posting was too vague when I mentioned "secure os's"  I
guess what I mean by a secure os is an os whose packages themselves are secure,
obviously if someone doesn't set up a server securely, it doesn't matter how
secure the packages are.  Like wise, if a person set up a server keeping
security as a priority, all their efforts are for naught if the package is
built insecurely, (like the common buffer overflow).

I know that debian releases security patches that solve many of these issues,
when the come up.  However, this process leads me to believe that the packages
in general are not built with security in mind (which makes sense because most
people programming an editor are probably not terribly concerned about curious
users monkeying around with their programs too much).

How important of an issue do you guys feel this is and do you think projects
like bastille are important towards this effort?  Also,  I do not know of any
other debian compatible security packages and would love to learn more about
them.

thanx

Paul

The best way to do this depends on what you already have set up and your
company's security policies.  I'll give you an example of how I do it and
perhaps you can figure out the best way to apply these ideas to your own
setup.  Please note, I'm not an "expert" in this area.  I can however tell
you what works for me and what my understanding is of the subject.  You're
likely to get some follow up emails with corrections about my explanation
here.

First of all the company I work for has a number of machines on their
private network.  We use "net 10" for our lan.  There is one gateway machine
and all internet access from clients on net 10 gets routed through the
gateway machine.  The gateway machine is connected both to net 10 and to an
internet router by way of a firewall.

Here's a crude picture of that setup:


Clients on net 10.
10.0.0.1  though  10.0.0.253
|
Connect via lan cable and switches to
|
Gateway machine (10.0.0.254 lan side / 62.192.14.212 internet side)
|
Connects via lan cable to
|
Internet firewall
|
Connects via cable and router to
|
Our ISP which in turn connects us to the internet

The default gateway of all the lan clients is set to the lan side address of
the gateway machine (10.0.0.254)
This means all internet requests must pass through this one machine to reach
the internet.
The internet IP of our gateway is (hypothetically) 62.192.14.212.

The iptables command can be used to perform a range of functions in Linux
including forwarding, firewalling with stateful packet inspection and the
masquerading function so that all your clients may access the internet.
When properly configured, the gateway will forward packets from any of your
lan clients to the internet and forward any returning traffic back to the
correct client on your lan.  This is similar to proxying but (put simply)
there is no caching involved.

Here's is a VERY BASIC script for iptables that demonstrates a way to
perform masquerading.  You run this script on your Linux gateway.  Generally
you will want to add a number of additional firewall rules to help secure
your gateway.  While this script should work for your setup, it is not to be
considered the final or complete solution for your setup.  I expressly
disclaim any liability for what this script will do once used in your
organization.  It's simply the minimum required to successfully activate ip
masquerading for your network.  For more information on iptables you can go
check out http://www.netfilter.org/ .  You'll find a lot of valuable
information there.

Basically what this script does is allow most lan traffic unrestricted
access to the internet and only allow internet traffic to reach the lan if
it is in response to a host on the lan.  There are many ways to configure
this to accomplish your own tasks.  This is just one way.  It really should
be hardened with additional rules to afford your gateway more protection.
However this script has been sufficient (security wise) on my personal lan
at home because my internet router is also a firewall.  The script I use at
my company is more complex and involves firewalling as a layer of redundancy
to the commercial firewall.

#!/bin/bash

IPTABLES=/usr/sbin/iptables
MODPROBE=/sbin/modprobe
LOCALNET=10.0.0.0/8
INT=eth0  # Name of the internal lan side network card
EXT=eth1 # Name of the external internet side network card

$MODPROBE ipt_MASQUERADE
$MODPROBE ip_conntrack_ftp
$MODPROBE ip_nat_ftp

# Enable forwarding
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# This clears existing rules and sets default policies
# These policies assume you have a firewall between the gateway and the
internet
$IPTABLES -P INPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F INPUT
$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F OUTPUT
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP
$IPTABLES -F FORWARD
$IPTABLES -t nat -F
$IPTABLES -t mangle -F

# Masquerading rules
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXT -o $INT -d $LOCALNET -m state --state
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INT -o $EXT -s $LOCALNET -j ACCEPT

# Perform actual masquerading in postrouting
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXT -j MASQUERADE

Damn right, but for a small setup these tips might give you some directions,

IPCOP listens on RED, if a request for >your.ip.add.ress:80< is available it
will forward the request according to your rule and forward it to
>my.dmz.ip.here:80< to ORANGE (ipcop as a router would have e.g.
10.0.0.1)... make sure Apache listens on >my.dmz.ip.here:80< and will answer
to the http request and gives back the result to the firewall which will
forward the paket to client on red...

The whole apache machine (network interfaces settings & routings & apache
httpd.conf) needs to have the >my.dmz.ip.here< , as I said before e.g.
10.0.0.2. This is the only thing you have to make sure. In apache you
put/change --> Listen my.dmz.ip.here:80 <-- in your httpd.conf - also you
still use your fqdn like e.g. www.mydomain.com with this address 10.0.0.2.

How to do the portforwarding, take a look here :-)
http://www.ipcop.org/1.3.0/en/admin/html/services.html#services_portforward
For more info on apache 1.3 directives look here :-)
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/directives.html

BTW, using an apache on GREEN, IPCOP will NOT allow any connection from RED
(unless the orginal request was from inside GREEN). This is forbidden by
design, just to make sure you get it right. Therefore the DMZ/ORANGE

You can use

Internet - 210.210.210.211 -|--|
Provider ips - 212/213/214/215 |  |
which will be forwarded to ORANGE   DMZ - 10.0.0.1  GREEN - 192.168.0.1
"isolated"
clients 10.0.0.2clients 192.168.0.2
/3/4/5/ /3/4/5


Portforward from RED to ORANGE:

WEBSERVER
210.210.210.212 Port 80  > 10.0.0.2 Port 80

MAILSERVER
210.210.210.213 Port 25  > 10.0.0.3 Port 80

and so on

Ah almost forgot, to get access to the DMZ do a "route add" on every client
on GREEN, so they'll know how to reach the DMZ on wintendo clients a -p
makes the entry permanent, don't know if it's the same for 'nix.

HTH,
Simmel

You have successfully installed Debian. You may not have successfully

want to do is install a GUI.

First, try typing "startx". It'll either try to start the GUI (the "X

something similar.

If the latter occurs, then try "apt-get install x-window-system kde", 
which hopefully will install a basic X system, along with the KDE

So - it looks like the connection over bluetooth (/dev/rfcomm0) is OK.

On the first LCP code rejection line the mobile (T610) states "GPRS

Anyone give me a hint, URL or similar? I don't even know if this is
something wrong in the PC config, the phone config or the network at
the moment.




The peers scripts is:

Hi! (Again)

In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, the mouse device has been

As you can see, the mouse protocol that X uses is
ImPS/2. In X environment, mouse works not really fine!
I mean when I move the mouse slowly, it works not bad,
but when I move it fast, it jumps from one side to the
other side of screen, unwanted clicks and undesired
scrolling will be happened :(
I have changed ImPS/2 to PS/2, but no good results
have been got and the mouse behavior becomes really
bad!! Go back to ImPS/2 ; I think that was better!
Please let me know that besides PS/2, ImPS/2,
autoPS/2, which kind of protocol I have to test? Until
now, I have not tested autoPS/2. My mouse is PS/2 with
netscrolling capability. Looking 4 your
recommandations and suggestions.


I suspect you have gpm installed. (Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and move your mouse 
around; do you see a white block cursor tracking your movements? If so, 
then yes, you have gpm installed. Ctrl-F7 should get you back to the X 
Window System.)

If you do, you'll need to run "gpmconfig" and configure it to repeat the 
data as "ms", then reconfigure X to pull the data from "/dev/gpmdata".

Yea! I'm glad you got it working. But you should know that you shouldn't 
directly modify /etc/modules.conf. You can lose your settings on a 
future upgrade, and by then you'll have forgotten enough of this episode 
to not be able to easily figure out why your network suddenly died.

I'm afraid I don't know enough about modutils to tell you where to put 
this setting, but I know enough to know that it doesn't go directly into 
/etc/modules.conf. Maybe /etc/modutils/aliases?

not sure how to copy and paste the URL from the console, sorry.

Which is one of the reasons I have gpm installed, gpm being the mouse 
driver for the console. Then just highlight to copy and middle-click to 
paste.

In any case, I installed nvidia-glx before I should have and that's why I ran
into problems. I appear to now be committed to my mistakewhich would
be fine if I could figure out why X says that I no longer have a screen
that works. (What's the new stuff in the kernel that has to do with screen
resolution? I probably messed up somewhere around there...when I did my
make oldconfig)
But X is still throwing up errors and
my nvidia module isn't listed under lsmod. It's there under
/lib/modules/[etc]/nvidia.ko, but I can't probe it (why is everything .ko
now instead of .o?). I do have module-init-tools, and there are other 
modules loaded, so I'm not sure why nvidia's refusing to play nicely.
 

Just temporarily, you might use the "nv" or "vesa" or "vga" driver to 
get back into X. That'll give you a sense of "okay, back in GUI-land, 
whew", even if it's not quite what you want long-run.

print to a hp lj 5l through tcp/ip

2004-05-10 Thread LeVA
Hi!

I have a hp laserjet 5l printer in my network, and listens on tcp port 
9100. A few month ago (when I used woody), I could use the socket:// 
protocoll to connect to it. But after I've upgraded to sarge, I can not 
even select the tcp/ip protocoll when I'm adding a new printer. I can 
only choose from smb, and lpt.
Anyone know how to use this kind of printer?

Thanks!

Daniel

What kind of mouse do you actually have? How many buttons, what vendor
etc.

c means character device - it is a serial stream of information
generated by the kernel. As appose to block device, which is random
access; regular files; symbolic links and directories.

My best guess is that the protocol is incorrect, but you've already said
you have tried them all. Can you confirm that you have tried each
protocol, and each protocol does not work, with gpm restarted for each,
without any other process reading psaux (including X)?

Use hexdump/hd (in the bsdmainutils package) to read binary data ,
rather than simply catting it which will most likely break your
terminal, and could actually cause data loss.

$ hd /dev/psaux
(wiggle the mouse)

And if you get output consistent with your wiggling, then the mouse is
ok.

afaik, this advice is only relevant when trying to get X to work in

Install the `screen' package. This provides many useful features for
console work, not least of which is a copy-and-paste facility

^A [ - start copy mode
  - select start and end of region to copy
^A ] - paste

Using the kernel-package means is highly recommended - I think Emma
built the package using nvidia's supplied instructions.

Debian doesn't use RPM. The sort of thing you're trying to do Just Won't
Work without a lot of manual hacking; if you're going to do that then
you might as well run an RPMish distribution to start with.

Use the Debian package management tools instead.

Use 'diff -u'.
