Ghostscript and Xlib

1997-01-17 Thread Fundamental

hi all, having installed ghostscript and its associated libraries i get
the following error ... gs: can't load library 'libXt.so.6'

I quick search of my machiane as well as the debian package description
came up with noting.  I assume then that this library comes embeded within 
a particular pacakge.  If anyone could give me a pointer, much
appreciated.

well, this is odd.  The machine im compiling on has two scsi drives, when
i do a fresh off the disk install with kernel 2.0.0 it works fine, so i
assumed that if i leave the kernel option at defaults, the later version
should work identically to the orginal 2.0.0 (ie, it detects the scsi
drives and already has the scsi modules built into it). 

Obviously not, im redoing the config now and loading in the appropriate scdi

kernel 2.0.27

Okay ive compiled my new kernel, made it bootable from a kickstart disk
and tried booting - problem, i get a kernel panic.  So i just stuck in my
old 2.0.0 kickstart and she booted up fine.

Im pretty sure the problem is that the new kernel doesnt know which
partition to load at boot time, i *think* its trying to load the wrong
one.  

I know i can fix this by running rdev, but how do i run an rdev on a
kernel that wont boot?

you help appreciated

I also uncommented the SNP (or is SMP?) options in the make file and

Recompiled Kernel route error:)

1996-12-30 Thread Fundamental
We recently recompiled our kernal (v2.0.0) to allow for dual processing and
ipaliasing.

Everything went smoothly accept for 1 error when the server reboots, while
running the /etc/init.d/network file we get the following error ...

route forgot to specify route netmask
SIOCADDRT: invalid argument
route forgot to specify route netmask
SIOCADDRT: invalid argument
route forgot to specify route netmask

Despite this, the machine seems to be running eprfectly (the outside world
can acces the server and vice a versa), below is our network file

#!  /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
IPADDR=203.17.176.20
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=203.17.176.0
BROADCAST=203.17.176.255
GATEWAY=203.17.176.1
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1nt


If anyoen can offer any suggestion, we would much appreciate it.

to hack, or not to hack ...

1996-11-26 Thread Fundamental
Recently one of our machines was hacked.  Im not sure how many people know
about this hack, but, any machine that does not have a shadow password
facility and has a common CGI program called phf is susceptable to attack.

You can use phf to more/grep the etc/passwd file.  The way you can check if
youve been hacked is to grep your logs file for phf.  A failed attack will
look like so;

access_log:aksess-gw3-4.ppp.sn.no unknown - [18/Nov/1996:15:10:36 +1100] 
GET /cgi-bin/phf?Qname=%0Acat%20/etc/passwd HTTP/1.0 404 -

access_log:aksess-gw3-4.ppp.sn.no unknown - [18/Nov/1996:15:16:04 +1100] 
GET /cgi-bin/phf?Qname=%0Acat%20/etc/passwd HTTP/1.0 404 -

A successfull attack will look the same without the 404 - at the end of the
entry.

just thought you guys would be intrested.

1.1 upgrade hassles

1996-09-20 Thread Fundamental
hey everyone, ive just installed debian 1.1, everything went fine until i
rebooted and i get the following errors...

SIOCSFADDR: bad value 
SIOCSNETMASk: bad value
SIOCSIFBRDADDRS: Network unreachable
SIOCSADDRT: Network unreachable

Ive tried the following as broadcast address to no avail...

224.255.255.255
224.0.0.0 (this one works on our solaris machines).
203.17.176.225

Is this what that error means? a faulty broadcast address?

Apache - catch 22?

1996-08-22 Thread Fundamental

Hi i just grabbed the unstable apache package.  I tried to install it 
and it wouldnt because it need libc5 and libdbgm1 (?).  I grabbed these 
packages installed libc5 and then tried installing libdbgm1, guess what, 
libdbgm1 wont intsall because it wants version libc5-16 while i have 
libc5-18.

Where can i get libc5-16 oir a newer version of libdbgm1?

sheesh, sounds like im speaking in another language:)

thanks

This message is telling me iam sending the message to myself, which iam not.

I am using smail and pine and havnt had problems (i hope) until recently.

The only thing that could be the problem (?) is that i have a softlink

ANY help MUCH appreciated

this happened to me eactly (accept on a solaris machine - but i have a

setting quotas incorrectly is what stuffed me up .. so i booted the

dont think this is eaxctly your problem though .. try deinstalling all
