 not queueing mail means no mail written on a hard disk, wich means you

So, where is the avantage of this package? Nevertheless you need a

This just runs with the permissions of the user who injects the mail.
Without all the other stuff that makes it need special permissions.
Thus there is no possibility for this to have privilege escalation issue,
worst case scenario in this case is you manage to crash the program.
You can't say the same of postfix.  postfix has access to things like
spool files, user mailboxes, etc...  If it has a single buffer overflow
in it, then a user on the box could exploit that to escalate privileges.  

Frankly a program like this would be ideal for situations where you have
a mailhub that receives inbound mail for a server...  that server then
uses fetchmail to download the mail and place it into a users spool.

Then you use something like this program to feed outbound email into the
mailhub to get queued and sent.

Most end users do not need a full fledged MTA on their desktop boxes
either for that matter.  As soon as I get around to looking at this, I
intend to stop using postfix on my desktop machines if it fits the bill
(which it sure seems like it does).  I looked into nullmailer a while
back and wasn't really happy with it so I just kept using postfix.

No, postfix can't lose mail (at least in theory). postfix don't confirms 
the receiving of the mail until it is succesfully written to the spool 
directory. So you can loose mail if you use write caches in your system 
(OS ore hardware) but thats not relayable to postfix.

To bind to a port less than 1024 you need root privileges. All mailports

it once you have bind to port 25 and change to a less privileged user. but 
if you want to store the mail in a users mailbox you need the privilege to

So eiter yo create a group which also has access to the mailbox files (and

while delivering the mail. But only root can change user without typing 
the password.

Btw, postfix does not run one single program with root privileges. there is 
only the master daemon. all the rest runs as user postfix and only the 
local delivery agent runs as the user which should reveive the mail.

Umm this program doesn't listen for any incoming mail.  It doesn't
require any privleged ports.

 Btw, postfix does not run one single program with root privileges. there is 
 only the master daemon. all the rest runs as user postfix and only the 
 local delivery agent runs as the user which should reveive the mail.

But that wasn't my point.  Even getting the permissions of the postfix
user can allow someone access to queued mail files.  If any of the
pieces of postfix which have greater permissions than the user has a
buffer overflow that could be triggered by a mail message, the user
could carefully craft a message which would allow them to get access
beyond what they would ordinarily have.  Given that postifx runs in a
chroot jail, it would be very difficult to do much, but it is still
possible.

In the case of esmtp this is not possible at all.  Since no part of
esmtp runs with any other privleges than the user it is much more secure
than postfix.  Even if it has a buffer overflow, the worst you can do is
do something as yourself.  The only real issues it might have is if
there is a bug in the authentication routines that caused it to leak
passwords, or causes it not to handle the TLS properly.  However,
postfix has the same possible vulnerabilities.  TLS in both cases is
implemented with the openssl library.  So in all I see esmtp as a gain
for security...

 Yes, most endusers does not need a full featured mailserver like postfix. 
 But you need a secure alternative and I don't know any besides not useing 
 a mta.

I don't see what you think is insecure about esmtp?  Buffer overflows in
it would in general would be less of a risk than in postfix.  And the
remaining issues, I don't think postfix is any less vulnerable to.

I forgot to reply to this in my other email...
esmtp doesn't confirm receiving of the message until it's be accepted by
the remote mail server.  In both cases your timeframe for losing mail
would be the small amount of time between when you started sending mail
and when it finishes.  The one exception for when esmtp would be at a
disadvantage if you were emailing a large file attachment.

But in both cases your mail client wouldn't show the message was
accepted and you ought to realize that the message hadn't been sent
because the machine crashed while you were still trying to send it.

  system, only the user can do. So eiter yo create a group which also
  has access to the mailbox files (and therefor can delete or read all
  mailboxes) or you had to change the user while delivering the mail.
  But only root can change user without typing the password.

 Umm this program doesn't listen for any incoming mail.  It doesn't
 require any privleged ports.

Ah, I misinterpretes something. I thought esmtp was also listening. It is 
for sending out purpose only, right?

  Yes, most endusers does not need a full featured mailserver like
  postfix. But you need a secure alternative and I don't know any
  besides not useing a mta.

 I don't see what you think is insecure about esmtp?  Buffer overflows in
 it would in general would be less of a risk than in postfix.  And the
 remaining issues, I don't think postfix is any less vulnerable to.

You miss my point; I don't know esmtp in any detail. So I can't say whether 
it is secure or not.

[Cooker] Makefile to facilitate making of rpms

2002-12-11 Thread Han Boetes

Hi,

To facilitate the making of rpms I made this Makefile:

   http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/rpms/Makefile

So instead of ``rpm -ba --clean --sign SPECS/fluxbox.spec'' I can now simply
type ``make''

Or instead of rpm --clean I can type ``make clean'' or instead of
``rpmlint -i SRPMS/fluxbox-0.1.14-1mdk.src.rpm  rpmlint -i
RPMS/i586/fluxbox-0.1.14-1mdk.i586.rpm'' all I have to type is ``make
lint''

And zsh completes Makefiles targets much better than rpm options. :)

Hope you like it and think it is usefull. Additions and improvements are
welcome.

The 1 is the shared library major version number. 0.5 is GStreamer's
version number, included in the name of the shared library:
[goetz@klama goetz]$ rpm -qpl /RPMS/libgstreamer0.5_1-0.5.0-1mdk.i586.rpm

/usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.5.so.1
/usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.5.so.1.0.0

rpmlint would complain if the package was called libgstreamer1. Also I
don't know the versioning scheme of future releases. There could come
a libgstreamer-0.6.so.1, so it wouldn't be a good idea to name the
package libgstreamer1.

[Cooker] vim spec plugin

2002-12-11 Thread Guillaume Rousse
While we are speaking of tools to make life easier to build rpm, i'd like to 
point out the spec plugin i've written for vim some times ago, as the basic 
spec plugin from vim plainly sux.
It is available from http://vim.sourceforge.net/script.php?script_id=98, and 
maybe it could get integrated into mdk vim package :-) ?

 You're duplicating some of the work of the icheckd daemon, but if it's
 better, that's terrific.  What advantages do you perceive in having
 samba do on access scanning versus letting icheckd do it?  I see the
 popup message as a really nice thing.

Note I haven't really used icheckd much, mainly since previous av stuff
I used had been for mail (which is why there are amavis-ng packages in
contrib) ... but

Mostly that server load can be reduced. There's not much point in having
all files scanned, for things like rsync'ing the whole data store on a
samba server (100GB on our case) to a hot spare server (every four hours
in our case). Same applies to people access files from a decent client
OS, which gets it's files via NFS, and is almost guaranteed not to
spread millions of files across the server at random times ;-).

The only way a virus will get from one machine to another (in our setup)
is via mail or files on the servers access from windows (we mostly don't
have any shares accessible on client machines). We already have mail
scanned, final route will disappear very shortly ...

Plus, this allows more scanners to be used ...



P.S. Our order for Sophos just went through, in case you were
wondering.


 I use Sophos at a client's.  Integrating the scanner into Postfix is
 SUPER SIMPLE as well.

What did you use? amavis-ng is pretty easy (if you have working perl
modules, ones in 9.0 contrib were broken), just setup a filter in
master.cf, and have the smtpd filter through it.

 It scans all inbound and outbound messages.  It's
 caught everything I've ever thrown at it.  It's amazing how many KLez-H
 virii are out there.


We now have scanning upstream (finally!), but we have caught some people
internally (which is why we finally insisted on av for client machines
on trashy OSs).

So, any opinion on what to do with the vscan modules??

[Cooker] More mozilla bugs

2002-12-11 Thread Buchan Milne
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I found two more mozilla bugs. I haven't yet reported them to
bugzilla.mozilla.org, but will sometime soon. At least one will require
a bit of testing by others:

1)Mozilla crash on resizing message pane in mail
I am not going to test this again right now (obviously), but if you
resize the message pane (possibly also the folder pane, haven't tested),
mozilla will crash.

2)Intermittent. New blank tab prevents switching applications under KDE.
Someone else here picked it up, but if you have mozilla open, create a
new tab (CTRL-T) and leave it blank, then try and ALT-TAB, and you will
see that under certain conditions (don't know yet what triggers it) the
focus will change, but the mozilla browser window stays on top. Change
to a tab with content, and it works right.

Hi, Alaa alaa[at]linux-egypt[dot]org has uploaded pekwm-0.1.2-1mdk.src.rpm
 a lightweight, yet aesthetic window manager. It
features fully customizable key and mousebindings, dockapp support,
window grouping (similar to the features you may have seen in pwm or
fluxbox, except that PekWM keeps them within the titlebar),

He is not subscribed to the cooker mailing list, so i'm handling it instead of him ;)

 I  just installed MS fonts by using Ben's bootstrap RPM.
 For some reason I could not get these fonts to appear in the font

 Does anybody have an idea what is getting wrong?

a) The fonts will only show in applications that have been started after
you've installed them.

b) If you're not using xfs (I'm not because of a conflict with
Xinerama), then you'll need to add the FontPath to your XF86Config file.

c) gnome terminal doesn't appear to display the fonts for me either.
I think this is a limitation/bug in gnome-terminal.  If you look in the
gnome bugzilla there is a couple of bug reports complaining about not
being able to access all the fonts installed on the system.  Some people
say it's only allowing monospaced fonts, but that doesn't appear to hold
true here.

Hum, what about

autocmd BufRead *.spec source ~/.vim/rpm_mode

this run the command 'source ~/.vim/rpm_mode', which , obviouly, apply the

Both the sourceforge project and my RPM will fail in these cases, such

Actually, this seems somewhat broken in the current release

Apparently, it doesn't execute /etc/emacs/site-start.el, so none of the

  * support the StartTLS SMTP extension

 - Use alternative instead of provides, as suggested by B.Reser

It needs to provide smtpdaemon and MailTransportAgent to satisfy various
programs dependencies...

I wouldn't set it with a higher priority than sendmail either.  I'd set
it to like 5 on the priority.  Right now it doesn't support a system
wide default config so it can't really entirely take the place of
postfix/sendmail.  I looked at it last night and intended to patch that
in...  but didn't get it yet.

Since most of the brains float about this list if i have a stock 9.0
will i need any cooker rpms to view tv?
(my system has been upgraded from a intel 815 and Hauppage tv card combo
to the ati AIW 7500)
Off list pointers to how-tos or the howtos themsevles would be nice.
tried to use GATOS but it can't find the xconfig file (was it moved??)

 All I have to say is that guy is asking for it...

What is the worse that can happen? a cease and desist?

[Cooker] [Bug 626] [rpmdrake] New: failed installation unselects all selected packages

2002-12-11 Thread [Bug 626]
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626

   Product: rpmdrake
 Component: rpmdrake
   Summary: failed installation unselects all selected packages
   Version: 2.0-18mdk
  Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When I try to install a group of packages and click Install, if there is a
conflict of some kind (i.e. currently, you cannot choose aspell-0.50.3-1mdk if
you have abiword installed because abiword needs aspell-0.50.2-1mdk and there is
no updated RPM for abiword yet -- hopefully soon), the conflict is noted by
rpmdrake, it aborts the installation and goes back to a package list minus the
user's selections.

This is most annoying.  It should at least keep the selections and allow the
user to unselect a package to resolve the conflict.

[Cooker] mktemp-1.4

2002-12-11 Thread Han Boetes

Before I forget,

A few month ago just before release I made this srpm:

  http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/rpms/mktemp-1.4-1mdk.src.rpm

Which is an update to the current mktemp-package. The code is from the
author and was released december last year instead of the two year old
code in the current package.

Re: Interface Hang with 2.4.18 kernel

2002-12-11 Thread Craig Miller
Ben,

Well I guess it is a good thing that you see it on other apps as well. I 
think it has to do with putting the interface in promiscious mode, and 
then switching it back (to regular mode). Something isn't right when 
it gets set back.

I agree you method is more of a work-around than a solution. I found 
closing the lid on my PB an easier work-around. Still it would be nice 
to know if this is a PPC or Kernel bug. I had an older Yellowdog kernel 
(2.4.4 I think) which worked fine with ethereal. But then that is a 
different disto AND kernel version.

Craig...

I've had problems with nmap hanging my airport interface but that's it.
The solution I've found is to ifdown the interface.  rmmod the modules
related to them.  Then ifup the interface again.  And it should start
working again.

Guess it's not really a solution... more like a work around.
   


Actually I take that back... now that I think about it ethereal does the
same thing...

Not sure.  I don't try to do that stuff from my laptop all that much so
I just haven't worried about it.  Unfortunately putting my laptop to
sleep in X crashes it so that's not a good solution for me. :(
