Lógicamente, al crearla deberá mostrarla (un poco estúpido el comentario, pero por si las fly's)... ;) No trabaja con adduser, pero como generador de claves creo que no tiene ningún desperdicio: $ head -10c /dev/random | md5sum | head -8c Poblema: no genera letras mayúsculas ni caracteres especiales. mmm, no poder mezclar mayusculas y minusculas o caracteres especiales, no es solo un poblema: es la frontera entre una password fuerte de otra que no lo es. El programita en C que yo propuse permitía generar claves usando un conjunto de 92 caracteres. Es decir que para una longitud de 8 tendríamos. 92^8= 5132188731375616 combinaciones distintas. La solución de md5sum proporciona un conjunto de 16 caracteres. Es decir que para una longitud de 8 tendríamos: 16^8= 4294967296 combinaciones distintas. Tampoco está tan mal. Sobre todo si se trata de proporcionar una password provisional y el ambiente no es demasiado hostil. Lo que hace una herramienta como pwgen es garantizarte siempre passwords fuertes, pero no totalmente aleatorias para que no resulten imposibles de recordar sin apuntarlas: puedes decidir su longitud, si hay o no numerales, e incluso su grado de **legibilidad** (lo cual tiene mas importancia de lo que parece): es decir, puedes generar si lo deseas En realidad lo importante es que son más fáciles de recordar y no son faciles de averiguar por fuerza bruta. passwords pronunciables (con vocales intercaladas en sitios precisos), con las mayusculas y los numerales situados en sitios faciles de recordar, todo lo cual facilita muchisimo su memorizacion. Por supuesto, con pwgen tambien tienes la opcion de solo minusculas o de generarlas totalmente aleatorias e impronunciables. Como passwords especialmente faciles de recordar y razonablemente segura se podría usar un generador que creara claves concatenando palabras y separadores de palabras. Una palabra podría ser una palabra cualquiera en mayusculas con una longitud entre dos y cinco carácteres. Un separador podría ser cualquier cosa excepto una mayúscula. Yo supongo que con una coleccion de varios miles de palabras las claves saldrían muy legibles muy faciles de memorizar y bastante seguras. Eso si necesitarían más longitud que otras. Lo razonable sería usar no menos de cuatro palabras con sus separadores. Por ejemplo: elAyo,para=tos van-tu0mataXtren conWtoro(gol,cero Quien puede olvidar una clave así. Quien puede averigüar una clave así. De momento para un diccionario de solo 2000 palabras tendríamos 2000^4 = 16 sin contar con los separadores. un saludo, miquel -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null Un saludo Antonio Castro +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ /\ /\ Ciberdroide Informática (Tienda de Linux) \\W// http://www.ciberdroide.com _|0 0|_ +-oOOO--(___o___)--OOOo+ | . . . .

Re: NFS
Voy a intentar explicártelo lo mejor que sé. El portmap es un programa que guarda el registro de versión de programas rpc como es el caso del servidor nfs. Para comprobar si está levantado tienes que ejecutar la siguiente orden: ps xa |grep portmap Si te devuelve un valor parecido a esto: 23453 -- -- -- /usr/sbin/portmap 26544 -- -- -- ps xa|grep portmap está levantado. Las -- son parámetros de estado,tty .. Sino te sale nada que se le parezca mira en /etc/init.d y veras un ejecutable que se llama portamp y ejecutas: ./portmap start. A partir de aquí levantas todos los servicios que veas como nfs. A parte de mirar el archivo exports. Después bien en el archivo hosts o bien con un servidor dns levantado tienes que tener dados de alta todas las ip de las máquinas de la red. Sino tendrás que saberte de memoria todas las ip cada vez que quieras montar algún dispositivo. lo del hosts.allow con que únicamente tengas la siguiente linea: ALL: .nombre.domino.com ya servirá, a menos que tengas que activar seguridades. Hasta luego. --- JFreak [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: Carlos López ha escrito: Vamos a ver me he perdido un poco.

Alexis Roda ha escrito: Las veces que me paso esto era por que los archivos /etc/hosts.allow y deny del servidor NFS eran demasiado restrictivos. El cliente debe tener permiso para acceder al mountd y al nfsd en el servidor. No estoy seguro, pero probablemente tambien necesite acceder al portmap. Resumiendo, el /etc/hosts.allow debe contener algo como: portmap: ip_cliente rpc.mountd: ip_cliente rpc.nfsd: ip_cliente Utiliza IPs, no nombres. __ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: Publicación 'profesional'
Hola, Yo hace poco escribí una mini-novela con LaTeX, y haciendo lo mismo que quieres hacer tú. Me enfrenté al mismo problema de ilegibilidad. Si te interesa, te puedo mandar lo que yo hice (no me lo sé de memoria, lo tengo en casa) para dejarlo con una presentación impecable. Hasta me adapté la página de título del manual de latex (ldesc2e), que me gustó mucho más que la estándar que obtenía con el estilo book. Pues eso, Javi -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: lunes 11 de septiembre de 2000 13:50 Para: Usuarios Debian Asunto: Publicación 'profesional' La idea es hacer un librillo (A4 doblados por la mitad y grapados) con la numeración de páginas correcta. Escribo con lyx -pero con cualquier otro editor que genere .ps el problema es el mismo- utilizando la documentclass scrbook (una variante de la clase book). Exporto el fichero a postscript y corro lo siguiente: cat Fichero.ps | psbook | psnup -2 Libro.ps Realmente la cosa sale bien, y debo ser un perfeccionista maniático pero me parece que psnup lo que hace es reducir la 'imagen' (sic; no me regañéis los expertos) para encajarla en la página y el resultado es un tipo de letra prácticamente ilegible (por pequeño). La solución elemental sería: bueno, amplía la fuente original. Pero aquí nos encontramos con las 'pegas' de latex: el estilo sólo admite letra de 11 a 13 puntos. ¿Qué hago mal? ¿Hay otra manera de hacerlo? Idea: linux triunfará si hace las cosas mejor. --

Perl es mucho mas eficiente para este tipo de tareas. Por ejemplo tu
programa C se puede resumir a una línea de código perl:
perl -e print join '',
(0..9,'A'..'Z','a'..'z','@','#','$','%','','-','=')[rand 69, rand 69,
rand 69, rand 69, rand 69, rand 69, rand 69, rand 69]; print qq{\n}
(seguro que no es necesario escribir rand 69 ocho veces, pero no
descubrí como abreviarlo mas).
Como perl también tiene la función cript, es fácil generar contraseñas
aleatorias y encriptarlas.

Se me ocurre lo siguiente: si ya creaste las 1500 cuentas (o sea ya
tienes un renglón /etc/passwd por cada usuario) usa el siguiente
progrrama en perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open PWD, '/etc/passwd';
open USERS, 'usuarios.txt';
open ENCR, 'passwd.txt';
while (PWD) {
($user, $old, $info) = /^([^:]*):([^:]*)(.*)$/;
$salt = join '', ('.', '/', 0..9, 'A'..'Z','a'..'z')[rand 64, rand
64];
$pwd = join '',(0..9,'A'..'Z','a'..'z',';',':','.',',','+','-','=')
[rand 69, rand 69, rand 69, rand 69, rand 69, rand 69,
rand 69, rand 69];
$encr = crypt $pwd, $salt;
print USERS $user\t$pwd\n;
print ENCR $user:$encr$info\n;
}
##
Este programa te va a crear dos ficheros: psswd.txt, semejante a
/etc/passwd, pero con las contraseñas modificadas (ya encriptadas,
claro); el otro fichero es usuarios.txt, que te dice cual es la nueva
contraseña de cada uno (no encriptadas, claro).
Después tendrás que ver que partes de passwd.txt substituyes en
/etc/passwd (en tu caso solo te interesará sobstituir las líneas de los
1500 usuarios de e-mail), y les puedes informar su nueva contraseña
usando usuarios.txt.
Espero que esto te ayude.

Comportamiento extraño de traceroute
Holas, veamos, desde que estoy con mi conexión ADSL no paro de jugar... dado que entre otras cosas no me fio de la configuración que me han dejado, aún habiendo cambiado muchas cosas según el famoso COMO de www.volados.org. No me fio de: -. Conf del router. -. Conf de la interacción kernel - interfaz red - router. -. Y sobre todo y lo peor, de la puerta de enlace de telefónica data. No me fio de la gestión de los datagramas, ni de como salen, ni como me vienen. Como muestra un botón, con la configuración antigua de acceso via módem, si hacía un 'traceroute' me aparecía la enumeración de host trazados por la ruta hasta el destino y *a veces* alguna secuencia de * * * tal como en las páginas man viene bien explicado. De 'man traceroute': 13 128.121.54.72 (128.121.54.72) 259 ms 499 ms 279 ms 14 * * * 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 * * * 18 ALLSPICE.LCS.MIT.EDU (18.26.0.115) 339 ms 279 ms 279 ms Note that the gateways 12, 14, 15, 1617 hops away either don't send ICMP time exceeded messages or send them with a ttl too small to reach us. 14 - 17 are run ning the MIT C Gateway code that doesn't send time exceededs. God only knows what's going on with 12.

Network Configuration
Hi Guys, I just subscribed to this list to get more information regarding the Debian Linux, which kind of lacks a lot of information resources. Most sites are about RedHat Linux and as much as Debian is giving me problems, I still like to stick to this distribution instead of moving to RedHat. I have several questions that I'd like to ask namely : 1. Does Debian have any administrative tools akin to IBM AIX smitty, smit, wsm (Web System Management) whereby it allows me to administer and manage the system without having to edit files and typing in complex commands every time ? 2. This is critical and I am about to start banging my head on the wall, except that I still holding on to the hope that you guys can help me out here. Well, currently there is a system within my environment which is running RedHat 6.x and it has two ethernet adapter (3Com) installed on the system. This system is running Masquarading (Sp ???), whereby there are two networks, one is running on 100.100.100.x and the other is running on 255.255.255.x. This system is also acting as the gateway. A colleague of mine also runs his system on Redhat 6.x and is able to view two networks on his system also having two ethernet adapters (Generic, dunno what brand they are). What I can't understand and which is giving me pain is that my system configured with Debian 2.1 cannot view the two networks. I have two ethernet adapters (3Com) installed and if I configure both the cards with one pointing to the 100.100.100.x network and the other with the 255.255.255.x network, the system will not be able to ping any host out there (I have already configured the ifconfig and route similar to the RH 6.x systems). But if I disable the 255.255.255.x network, I can ping and view the other systems. If I do it the other way round, the system cannot detect any host whatever (Disable 100.100.100.x and enable 255.255.255.x). I have checked the connections to the ethernet adapters and they are functioning. I have updated my kernel to the 2.2.16 enabling masquarading but am still unable to detect any host when both the ethernet adapters are enabled. What could be the problem here ? I've included the ifconfig and route info for the gateway system and also my colleague's system for your info. My system route and ifconfig information is as the ones below, but I still can't detect both networks. $ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:C4:FB:97 inet addr:202.190.130.195 Bcast:202.190.130.199 Mask:255.255.255.248 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:12722 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12388 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:1 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe400 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:91:B1:C5 inet addr:100.100.100.150 Bcast:100.100.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:16211 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:17041 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:712 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe800 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:2494 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2494 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 $ $ /sbin/route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface tiger.first.com * 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 eth0 100.100.100.150 * 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 eth1 202.190.130.192 * 255.255.255.248 U 0 00 eth0 100.100.100.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth1 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 lo default 202.190.130.193 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0 $ --- Colleague's system [EMAIL PROTECTED] jeffrey]$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:C8:FB:17:4B inet addr:202.190.130.196 Bcast:202.190.130.199 Mask:255.255.255.248 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:30323 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4938 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0xec80 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:C2:D3:DA inet addr:100.100.100.111 Bcast:100.100.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:69983 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11276 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:6 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base

hey i have been trying to get 2.2 (i386) working with rogers @home cable modem service. the problem that i keep encountering is that i can only get on-line when i am using a NIC that has been used with the cable modem in windows. if the card is used elsewhere or the cable modem is used with another card then i get the following results: -eth0 configured correctly with all the static info i put in correct (ip, gateway, netmask etc.) and correct driver -when i try to ping an ip (my gateway or any other active ip) i can see the send and receive lights on the cable modem active, but i get 100% packet lose my assumption under this situation is that the ping gets out and back in to the modem (hense the send AND receive lights) but doesn't actually make it to my machine. i have tried this set up with 3 separate computers and 5 different NICs (SMC, dlink, 3c900b, 2 sohoware) but all have the same results. i have tried to power cycle the modem but that did not work as well. i'm stumped. does anybody know anything about how i can get around this? b

RE: Network Configuration
Hi, I thought linuxconf is only available on RedHat ? Yes, the RH box is acting as the gateway for the network also. Dunno about the kernel version, but I'll try it later. As for the collisions, I'm not sure, but there has been no problems. Could this be the issue ? Both the RH server and my colleague's RH PC can connect to the network, but my Debian can't.

RE: Network Configuration
Well, the way my company network is configured is that the RH box acts as router and gateway and firewall both for internal and external network; internal here being the 100.100.100.x network and external being 255.255.255.248. I suppose that the same goes for my colleague's PC as it is configured exactly as the RH box. My guess would be that the collisions is due to my colleague's PC and the RH box acting as router and gateway on the same network ??? Okay, the reason for my wanting to do the above is to be able to connect to my Debian PC via the 100.100.100.x internal to the LAN when I am in the office and also to connect to my Debian PC from an external dialup via the 255.255.255.248 network when outside the office. Right now, I am unable to connect directly to my Debian PC by telnetting directly to it. I have to telnet to the RH box first and then connect to my Debian PC via the 100.100.100.x address. Internal LAN has false addresses and the external network with 255.255.255.248 netmask has real addresses (registered addresses). Any ideas ? Thank you in advance.

ssh, gethostbyname, and hosts.deny, oh my!
I've got a little problem here involving ssh, gethostbyname, and /etc/hosts.deny, which by curious coincidence strongly resembles the subject line of this post. The setup: I'm connecting via ssh to a server on our DMZ, proxied through a masquerading firewall. Like this: Internet ~~ / \ /\ Masq-FW --- Server | | | Workstation Sometimes ssh works. Sometimes it doesn't: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:karsten]$ ssh lists ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host ...maybe 1 of 4 attempts succeeds. On the host, in /var/auth.log, I see: Sep 12 01:10:32 lists sshd[1884]: warning: /etc/hosts.deny, line 15: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(140.208.171.207.in-addr.arpa) failed Sep 12 01:10:32 lists sshd[1884]: refused connect from 207.171.xxx.xxx ...and looking at /etc/hosts.deny, we find at line 15: ALL: PARANOID (the only non-comment line in the file). There are no entries in /etc/hosts.allow. Questions: - Can I fix this by allowing SSH access in /etc/hosts.allow. I'm assuming yes and will try this. - Why the periodic failure. If my address cannot be resolved, why should it appear to be resolving some of the time, but not always? - Doesn this indicate a problem with the masquerading configuration (I'm not responsible for this)? Any further diagnostics to test this out? Thanks. -- Karsten M.

no PPP support
I'm not sure if this is a KDE or a Debian issue. Have recently installed Debian 2.2 (already run 2.1), and use KDE 1.1.2. When I launch Kppp the following message appears:- This kernel has no PPP support neither compiled in nor via the kernel module loader. To solve this problem:- * contact your system administator or * install a kernel with PPP support At this point, I click 'connect', download my mail and send any outgoing messages, (this is one). After installing Potato, I recompiled the kernel to my normal requirements - these include PPP support. Any ideas why the error message appears, and how to eradicate it? John.

Old packages between upgrades
Hi all, I have a question about upgrading the system. When I upgraded some time ago from slink to potato and then woody, I had a package, ncurses3.4 installed on the system... This package is really old, but it's not replaced with libncurses4 or libncurses5. So, I simply erased it without any dependency problem. My question is that how can all packages with the same problem as this be removed between upgrades ? Some are old or obsolete and the system doesn't requires them any more, but when you have -a lot- of packages installed, it is impossible to find which of this are.

Help!! No more processes left in runlevel
Shit shit shit I've broken my machine again. Won't halt, won't boot. When booting it claims it's going into runlevel 3 but none of the rc3.d scripts are run, and it won't let me login (except as root), saying system bootup in progress. If I try to change runlevel it sends TERM, sends KILL, and then says no processes left in runlevel, and hangs. I've had this before, I vaguely remember fixing it by deinstalling something and reinstalling an older version, but I could be wrong. The last packages I installed, afaik, since everything last worked, are acroread and noflushd. To get noflushd working I had to add the lines for unstable sources into /etc/apt/sources.list, suck suck suck (please tell me if you know a better way to install just one unstable package). I've commented out the unstable lines, done apt-get update. Now here's something I don't understand: versions of libc6 and xlib6g given by apt-cache show and dpkg -s are the same (2.2.1-13 and 3.3.6-9, respectively), and get apt-get -s install wants to reinstall them both, instead of saying already the newest version. Anyway, WTF? -chris

I'm so ashamed... I stress to my wife and kids backup, backup, backup. And what do I do?? I screwed my lilo.conf file up royally w/o making a backup :( Now I CAN boot Debian 2.1 but can NOT boot W98 with my wife's stuff. I have W98 on hda1 and Debian on hda5 Would someone be kind enough to email me the piece of lilo.conf that I need to boot my W98. Thanks Stupid... Stupid... Blond :( --- Christopher W.

Hi Chris, there is a script at /usr/doc/lilo/examples that mounts a lilo.conf. Give it a try. Quoting Christopher W. Aiken ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I'm so ashamed...

RE: Help!! No more processes left in runlevel
-Original Message- From: Krzys Majewski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 2:10 PM To: Debian user list (undigested) Subject: Help!! No more processes left in runlevel Shit shit shit I've broken my machine again. Won't halt, won't boot. When booting it claims it's going into runlevel 3 but none of the rc3.d scripts are run, and it won't let me login (except as root), saying system bootup in progress. If I try to change runlevel it sends TERM, sends KILL, and then says no processes left in runlevel, and hangs. I had exactly this behavior yesterday, although probably not for the same reason. I had uncommented the echo entry at the beginning of /etc/init.d/rc, because I thought that would additionally print the executed commands. However this switches rc to only print while init itself sends real TERMs and KILLs. So I ended up with no processes left in runlevel (and a crash) :( But I can't imagine what would change this entry if you didn't... Christian
How can I enable network scanning?
Can anyone help with this problem, please? Versions: libsane1.0.2-1 sane 1.0.2-1 I am trying to access a scanner through the network. The scanner is an HP ScanJet on 'sarah' (192.168.1.3). It works on that machine: sarah $ scanimage --help ... List of available devices: hp:/dev/sg1 hp:/dev/scanner (these are the same device). sarah:/etc/sane.d/saned.conf: linda.lfix.co.uk 192.168.1.1 (I tried adding the IP number in case the problem is in name lookup.) On linda (192.168.1.1), I cannot get access to the scanner linda $ scanimage --help ... scanimage: no SANE devices found though I can connect to saned on sarah: linda $ telnet sarah sane Trying 192.168.1.3... Connected to sarah.lfix.co.uk. Config on linda: /etc/sane.d/dll.conf net /etc/sane.d/net.conf sarah.lfix.co.uk I tried running `saned -d 128' on sarah, rather than using inetd, but in that case I cannot connect even with telnet (connection refused) and saned does not appear to see the connection attempt (using strace to monitor it). -- Oliver Elphick[EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Hello, I have a postscript figure made with gnuplot. Actually, this is a .eps file since I have chosen the option set terminal postscript eps enhanced in gnuplot to create the figure. I want to convert this figure to a pdf figure. 1) However, when I do this with ps2pdf (or convert ...), I get a pdf figure on a complete A4 page. So, the bounding box information is not preserved. 2) When I do convert -verbose fig.eps fig.epdf, the bounding box information seems to be preserved but something is happening with my lettertypes. They seem to get fuzzy (I get the impression that they are being converted to bitmap lettertypes). This does not happen in 1) . Anybody any ideas to get this good, i.e. a pdf figure with the correct bounding box and good readable lettertypes !!??

I've not even looked at it in over a year. Daniel If nobody objects I'd like to do this together with Martin Daniel Gasbichler who wrote a fair part of scsh 0.6. But me Daniel having just applied for Debian maintainership this will Daniel take some time... I also have an adoption offer from Georg Bauer (Cc'd), who I responded to on the attached message, telling him that if he contacts the new maintainer team and has a working `scsh' package, he can have it. Since you are teaming with Martin Gasbichler, and since Martin is a co-author of Scsh, I'd say that puts you two in as most qualified to handle the package. (Daniel? Please forward this mail to Martin.) Perhaps the three of you could team? What do you all think? Sounds good to me. Martin is on vacation for a couple of days but I'm sure we can work out a scheme everyone's confident with as soon as he's back. The big problem IMHO however being that neither of us is registered as a developer so far. I'd be happy to work on debs for a recent version of scsh but we'd really need some maintainer to adopt the package until my appliance gets through.

starting isdnutils by script
Hi there, after reading and understanding the doc-files about ISDNUTILS I can now enter the WWW. But a little problem is left. In the Lehmann-Distribution of Debian 2.2 I found the hint to use a script (chapter 7 of dahb.txt) to start and stop the services. But I can only start as root the script. Otherwise I get the message /dev/isdinfo permission denied. chmod 755 /dev/isdninfo don't work. What can I do??
