Move the monitor around a bit, see if the picture gets worse or better in different places. If none of that works, start looking at actual hardware problems.

lilo lilo.conf
Does anyone know why the table= config statement is required in the subsections of other operating systems for the lilo.conf file ? ...why does windows or msdos have to know where the partition information is ? Thanks, Matthew -- table=device This specifies the device that contains the parti tion table. The boot loader will not pass parti tion information to the booted operating system if this variable is omitted. (Some operating systems have other means to determine from which partition they have been booted. E.g., MS-DOS usually stores the geometry of the boot disk or partition in its boot sector.)

Re: PCMCIA/kernel problems
Ok,
First, I'm using kernel 2.0.30 (I would suggest upgradeing to that). I
remember upgradeing to that for a pcmcia reason, not sure what it was
though.
Get the sources and recompile. I was FORCED to add support for pci and
apm and maybe a few other laptop specific stuff, if I didn't add those
the pcmcia modules would not load.
There is also a newer version of the pcmcia package, you might want to get
that also.
I also deleted the default /etc/pcmcia/network file and added my own. The
default one added removed stuff from /etc/resolv.conf and other wierd
stuff that I didn't like. I also ping out, so the network starts without
me having to be at the laptop for a reboot...crash..etc

No, you're not supposed to run patch as root. Patch
apparently creates a new file before starting to apply the changes
to that particular file, and the creation happens as the UID that
started patch. In your case, this, as you were root when you ran
patch, this UID was 0 (root).
See transcript where you can see the original file hoi1 has inode
412018, but after patching, the inode changed to 32923. Thus patch
has created that file anew:
rulcmc:~/rommel$ echo hoi hoi1
rulcmc:~/rommel$ echo hoi1 hoi2
rulcmc:~/rommel$ ls -ali hoi1 hoi2
412018 -rw-r--r-- 1 joostusers 4 Oct 18 12:07 hoi1
412019 -rw-r--r-- 1 joostusers 5 Oct 18 12:07 hoi2
rulcmc:~/rommel$ diff -u hoi1 hoi2|patch
patching file `hoi1'
rulcmc:~/rommel$ ls -ali hoi1 hoi2
32923 -rw-r--r-- 1 joostusers 5 Oct 18 12:07 hoi1
412019 -rw-r--r-- 1 joostusers 5 Oct 18 12:07 hoi2
I think it's quite normal that patch creates files owned by
the user whos starts patch, and indeed, I wouldn't want patch
to mess around with the ownership of that file.
PS: if you really were running patch as non-root, you've descovered
a very, very, very, very enourmously serious security bug.

Pcmcia Starting the network
I'm trying to start the network after cardmgr starts, but cardmgr takes too long and network dies because it can't find eth0. Is there a way to execute /etc/init.d/network ONLY after cardmgr completes ? This way I don't have to be around during a reboot !

RE: Pcmcia Starting the network
What I actually did was almost the same ! :) I added a 'sleep 3' right after cardmgr to give it some time to start. CardMgr debian package DOES try to start './network start eth0' but its not working for some reason, probably in the wrong dir or something. Anyways, I was not gonna re-compile and spend hours configureing it or I would go nuts if it didn't configure the first time. :) A 'sleep 3' right after CardMgr works just fine. I would suggest the Package Maintainer try to update to the latest version, and fix up the scripts a bit. At the very least have the script wait a few seconds after starting cardmgr for just this reason. Theres no other fix then 'sleep' to the scripts right now..I think.. Thanks for the response !

Subject: Bugs in Debian Linux's ircd package
There are a couple of bugs in the Undernet IRC Server package (ircd 2.9.32-3)
which is included in Debian Linux 1.3.1 (and probably earlier versions as
well)...
First, /etc/ircd/ is set world readable... This directory contains the server
configuration files and irc operator passwords. By default, the passwords are
encrypted, but anyone with crack can easily bypass this protection in a few
hours and /oper themselves!
The fix:
chmod 700 /etc/ircd/
Second, the package adds the following line to inetd.conf:
ircdstream tcp waitroot/usr/sbin/ircd ircd -i
ircd is supposed to be run as 'irc', not 'root'..! I don't know if this is
exploitable in any way, but the irc server does -not- require root priviledges.
The fix:
chown irc.irc /etc/ircd/
and
change the line in inetd.conf to
ircdstream tcp waitirc /usr/sbin/ircd ircd -i
or (if you are running xinetd)
service ircd
{
socket_type = stream
user= irc
wait= yes
server = /usr/sbin/ircd
server_args = -i
}
That's all for now..

Netscape 3.01 128bit version ?
Does the installer for Netscape/gold 3.01 work with the 128bit version ? I'll have to rename promise.cgi to what the installer wants. Matthew -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Re: Netscape 3.01 128bit version ?
Thats the problem, Netscape will only make it available through a web page using a cgi that checks where you are (to make sure your in the US). The program is offered up as 'promise.cgi', not the real file name. I'm going to check it out today, see if it works.

GDB
Can someone recommend a good GUI interface to GDB ? I see there are programs like TGDB and XXGDB, but they seem to be old and outdated. Maybe someone here is using, and can recommend a good GUI to GDB. Thanks, Matthew -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: ps, pdf viewer
Well, I did install GV and it does look good! GV says it can display PDF if GS is ver 4 or better. Debian does not have GS v4, its still at 3 something... Time for an updated GS package!? :) On Fri, 30 May 1997, Rick Macdonald wrote: On Fri, 30 May 1997, Matthew Tebbens wrote: Debian has the GhostView and GV packages, but which does everyone like ?

Re: xinetd startup message
Happened to me on another system I had setup.
Didn't really spend much time on the problem, but I would be very courious
as to what is causeing the message.
btw: I also added default setting for all services. The install did not do
this, it just converted all of inetd services over. Also remember to
watch packages that don't check for xinetd and instead alter inetd.conf.
Heres what I added to xinetd.conf for default settings to all services:
defaults
{
log_type= SYSLOG daemon
log_on_success = PID HOST EXIT DURATION
log_on_failure = HOST ATTEMPT RECORD
}
The USERID setting does not work for success+failure for some reason.

Hi,
I installed xinetd and it works fine, but there seems to be a glitch:
On startup I got a syslogmessage:

Well, it doen't seem to have any effekt, but I want to fix it anyway.
xinetd is version 2.1.7-3
makedev is version 1.6-5
Ciao,

Security: logging
I'm using xinetd(xinetd.conf).
In xinetd.conf I have the following defaults for all services:
defaults
{
log_type= SYSLOG daemon
log_on_success = PID HOST EXIT DURATION
log_on_failure = HOST ATTEMPT RECORD
}
Can I also specify another log for telnet, ftp, rlogin ?
So everything would be logged through SYSLOG, and services like those
above would be SYSLOG'ed AND logged in a seperate file. This way I would
feel better about catching any hacker.

Re: Problem with telnetd ???
My main (debian) system is at an ISP and I dial-in and telnet to my system. Are there any telnet clients for windows that support ssl-telnetd ? Regarding PGP...what is everyone using, the International version or the US version ? Matthew there are two secure(*), encrypted alternatives: 1. install ssl-telnet on both machines. This replaces telnet and telnetd (it is still compatible with non-ssl versions, though) ssltelnet depends on the ssleay package. 2. install ssh on both machines. This is a replacement for rsh, rcp, and other 'r' programs. I much prefer this to ssltelnetin fact, i hardly use telnet at all these days (i only use ssltelnet to upgrade ssh on remote machines - ssh runs as a daemo, not out of inetd so upgrading the ssh package kills your current session. There are good reasons to run it like this so i'm not sure if this should be reported as a bug or not.) ssh depends on zlib1. I recommend installing BOTH packages. Both packages are subject to US export restrictions, so they are not available from the main debian ftp site. You can get them (and the ssleay package) from the debian-non-US site in Germany: ftp://os.inf.tu-dresden.de:/pub/debian-non-US/ There are several mirrors of this site. Look in the README.non-us file on ftp.debian.org for a list. While you're there, pick up a copy of PGP too. (*) even secure programs are compromisable if you use them carelessly. these are no magic panacea for security problems - they work best if you read the documentation and understand what they're doing, why they're doing it, and how they work. craig -- craig sanders networking consultant Available for casual or contract temporary autonomous zone system administration tasks. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
