Prosignia 200 NIC
Just pulled a Prosignia 200 out of the box - trying to configure it as a news server.

Re: losing keys in fvwm2
Slap me if you've tried this, but turning numlock on in X does all sorts of funky things to alt and function keys. I often find (particularly using forms in netscape) that I turn on numlock, and then spend half an hour trying to figure out why my keyboard doesn't work anymore ... turn off numlock and it goes away. that's amazing . . . I wonder why i never noticed that silly green light . . .

The strategy that the FIPS documentation mentions (which can be found at http://www.student.informatik.th-darmstadt.de/~schaefer/fips.html) is to try to figure out who (which app) has placed the hidden file there and see if you can get that app to remove it or at least not need it while you do the defrag. How this is accomplished, depends on the offending app, but the likely suspects are (I'm reading from the doc here): the Windows swapfile, and files created by using DOS' IMAGE or MIRROR program. Either way, taking a look at the name of the file with the help of the DOS attrib command might help you figure out how to proceed. If not, any other | solution than formatting the drive?

Re: libjpegg6a
I had noticed a posting about it and didn't need this package until I had
removed the message, where can I get it since its not in the unstable branch
yet and I tried finding it on chiark where it was originally uploaded but no
luck
A real mirror of master's incoming can be found at:
ftp://ftp.lh.umu.se/pub/linux/debian-Incoming/
Also rumered to work are (but last time I checked these didn't work):
ftp://llug.sep.bnl.gov/pub/debian/Incoming/
Notice that all these problems are with the _unstable_ branch of debian,
and questions about unstable should ideally be put to debian-devel,
not debian-user.

hamm mirror
Hi,
I've been mirroring the ftp.debian.org on the bo/ and bo-updates/ for
months now. The activities on this version seems to slow down quite

Hi, [Concerning a possible bug in flex-2.5.4] For the example I gave, Manoj and Maarten suggest adding ``return 0'' to the action after the input() receives an EOF, and in this case it would solve the problem, but I don't think that this should be necessary and there are other situations where this would not work so well. I still think that there is a problem with flex-2.5.4, but this discussion doesn't really belong on debian-user, so I will email my objections to Manoj and Maarten (and anyone else who sends a request), and then ask some questions on comp.lang.c before taking it to gnu.utils.bug.

Thank you. Actually, I'm wondering if you could point me to the
*source* fixes for samba (assuming it is not just a Debian security
problem), since the information is to be passed on to a non-Debian
sysadmin.
Well, I didn't look that far into it. Yes, you are right, it
isn't a Debian problem, and it was fixed by the samba team.
All I can do is send you the announcement made by (I presume) the
Samba team to bugtraq. It will give you the location of
the sourcefile where they say they fixed the problem.
Maybe on the ftp site they mention they also still have the
newest version without the bugfix, and then you'll be able to
diff the two samba sourcefiles.
Sorry, but I cannot do anything more.

Security bugfix for Samba
-
A security hole in all versions of Samba has been recently
discovered. The security hole allows unauthorized remote users to
obtain root access on the Samba server.
An exploit for this security hole has been posted to the internet so
system administrators should assume that this hole is being actively
exploited.
The exploit for the security hole is very architecture specific and
has been only demonstrated to work for Samba servers running on Intel
based platforms. The exploit posted to the internet is specific to
Intel Linux servers. It would be very difficult to produce an exploit
for other architectures but it may be possible.
A new release of Samba has now been made that fixes the security
hole. The new release is version 1.9.17p2 and is available from
ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/samba-1.9.17p2.tar.gz
This release also adds a routine which logs a message if anyone
attempts to take advantage of the security hole. The message (in the
Samba log files) will look like this:
ERROR: Invalid password length 999
you're machine may be under attack by a user exploiting an old bug
Attack was from IP=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address of the machine performing the attack.

Re: No Debian updates?
Still, I imagine a debian release between stable and unstable. Stable is nice for the space shuttle or other critical purposes. But, let's say, the netscape installer package: There's no bug in the old version. But I think there should be a place outside the developers' corner for the new one ... Somewhere, where dselect can be used. ? I've thought about this myself too. What would be nice is a cutting edge, but reliable distribution that was separate from the standard stable release. This could possibly be done by a different project than Debian (or even a company). It would be based on the standard stable major releases, and would be supplemented by more up-to-date packages from unstable. It would be fully tested, and released on a monthly basis. The Debian project doesn't really have what it takes to maintain two different streams of releases. All the developers run unstable, so very few of them have the environment (or the time) to make releases for both an unstable and a stable release. The people (or company) running this separate project would not have to concentrate on developing new software - but just integrate the cutting edge stuff into the stable release, testing it, and releasing it. They would probably have to make changes to many packages (ie. recompile for libc5, fix dependencies) in order for everything to work properly. This project could operate a separate bug system which would allow them to intercept bugs that are their own doing, and forward real bugs to the Debian maintainers. A project such as this would also be very beneficial to the regular Debian project and maintainers, since we could then concentrate on preparing a single stable release every 3-6 months. An additional bonus would be no more flamewars about stable release maintenance. It's difficult, if not impossible, for us (the Debian developers) to do well-tested and thought out releases on a tighter timetable than what we are doing for the major releases (3-6 months). This is due to the distributed, volunteer nature of the organization. But the packaging system itself can support a much tighter release schedule than what we are capable of. dpkg's system of dependencies and conflicts means that it is possible to support building releases and upgrading in a very piecemeal manner. A separate organization dedicated to building a cutting edge, but reliable distribution from the raw output from the Debian project could be very successful.

Re: XF86Setup trouble
Hi! (**) MONO: Graphics device ID: Primary Card (**) MONO: Monitor ID: Primary Monitor It looks to me like your X-server is trying to use the Screen section for the mono driver for some reason. In that section you do *NOT* have a 8 bit depth subsection (of course). So, for starters try commenting out all but the Screen section for the accel driver. I assume that is the one you are interested in. I am not sure of how the X server chosses the Screen section to use, but your problem suggests it takes the last one found. So when it stumbles upon the Screen section for the mono driver, it choaks.

SSH/X11 vulnerability
It may be interested to those people using ssh. SSH/X11 Vulnerability September 1997 Systems affected: All systems running Secure Shell (SSH) clients and X11. Description: In a firewalled environment insecure protocols normally are not allowed to cross network boundaries and to enter the protected network environment. SSH is able to relay arbitrary TCP connections, especially X11 traffic is mediated per default. If SSH connections may leave the protected network environment insecure protocols may unconsciously be imported and exploited. Impact: Everyone who can access foreign .Xauthority files on SSH servers is able to access the X server of the SSH client machine. The client machine is open to a variety of attack scenarios while the SSH session exists. Exploit: See References for a detailed description of the exploit. Solution: Client side (administrator): Build SSH clients with --disable_client_x11_forwarding. Set ForwardX11 to no in /etc/ssh_config. Set up packet filters which allow connections destined for port 22 only if originated from a privileged port. Client side (users): Set ForwardX11 to no in ~/.ssh/config. Apply the -x option when using ssh. Server side (administrator): Build SSH servers with --disable_server_x11_forwarding. Set X11Forwarding to no in /etc/sshd_config.
