[gentoo-user] cannot load libc, permission denied
Ok, two combined into one here: A. Khattri asked if I was logged in as root, yes I am. and When I said this: >> cdrtx / # ldd /usr/bin/crontab >> linux-gate.so.1 => (0xe000) >> libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7ec4000) >> /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x8000) Ian Hastie said: >But it's fcrontab that's having the problems. Why did you do the ldd >on crontab? What is fcrontab anyway and where does it come from? Well, I did the ldd on crontab, cause crontab is the command I use to edit the crontab files, like `crontab -e`. My cron daemon of choice is fcron, "A command scheduler with extended capabilities over cron and anacron". An on systems that use fcron we have this: cdrtx cdr_tx # ls -l /usr/bin/crontab lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Aug 26 23:45 /usr/bin/crontab -> fcrontab So fcrontab is the fcron version of crontab symlinked to look like plain ass crontab. It comes with the fcron package. Anywho...after rebuilding glibc and fcron I'm still having the same issue: cdrtx cdr_tx # crontab -e crontab: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied But I can still say things like: cdrtx cdr_tx # strings /lib/libc.so.6 |wc -l 4494 Which prove to me that I can both open and read the /lib/libc.so.6 file.

[gentoo-user] initrd and raid
List, I've got a Super Micro P4SCT+ that uses the Marvell SATA controller that Linux doesn't know out-of-the-box. There was the mv_sata module provided by ABit that I found, and it compiles and loads into my 2.6.12 kernel. I can see the drives and have made a raid out of them no problem. I'm currently booting off the Intel SATA in the machine from /dev/sda The other drives are /dev/sdb,c,d. OK, so what I want to do is this: Remove the current /dev/sda and bump the /dev/sdb,c,d each up by one and then boot of them. /dev/sdb1,c1,d1 are set as RAID0+hotspare and configured/grub-ed etc. What I can't do is get the initrd to work. I've added the module and can see when it boots that it finds those devices but then it looks like it cannot see my devices. I get a Kernel Panic not init found, then it says to try passing init= to the kernel. I don't understand that, what must I do? I'm using udev so perhaps when the kernel is booting it cannot see my devices in /dev ? Other google searches show that might be the case. One set of google results pointing to gentoo-user about udev and initrd said "don't use initrd, build the module into the kernel". I can't do that with a 3rd party module can I?

[gentoo-user] Failed Disk Recovery
List, I've got a HDD that's failed, seems to have lost partition table. When I say sfdisk -l or -d it can't read and I see IO errors in dmesg output, can't read sector XX. I can't get dd to dump from that drive to file on a working drive either. It's an NTFS drive that Windows can't see at all. What other options do I have to recover data? ntfsprogs testdisk haven't been helpful either. Anyone have ideas? /djb -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Disk Backup From One Machine To Another
* Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Friday, June 24, 2005, 8:27:02 PM: I have one machine (Machine 1) that I need backup its files periodically. I also have another machine (Machine 2) that will hold the backup. Machine 2 can "see" (make requests to) Machine 1, but the opposite isn't true. The network is covered by a firewall, so I don need a paranoid solution. I was thinking about doing the following: I use a shell script that connects to my machines via ssh and performs commands to: 1. Backup Postgres with pg_dump 2. turn last weeks log files into tgz 3. rsync my /etc, /opt/edoceo (that's where I put my stuff) and other dirs I made it so that there is a config file that describes the backup as: host, db (yes/no), dir list. The machines are firewalled and the ssh is only allowed when signed by my trusted CA (me as well) so I feel pretty secure about it. Rsync allows me to throttle the connection to so I don't chew all my bandwidth on the backups. Let me know if you want a copy and I'll pull all my specifc stuffs out and post a copy. Cheers. /djb -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This depends on what the OP meant when he said "If the client is not signed I generate and securely transmit a cert to the client and then open the network to their IP." Do you mean that you do this in an automated way (blech), or is it done manually in some offline manner (better)? Yes if the client isn't signed by my one and only one trusted CA (which is me) I will give them the cert in a manual/offline way, even if it is inconvienient. 2. Break into a box you trust which may not be so locked down as yours is... This is the biggest hole that I see. Yea, I thought so too.

[gentoo-user] HTTPS/CA
Gurus, In this hypothetical situation how would someone break in or view the data transmitted? Hardend Gentoo/Linux/Apache system with only port 443 open in a secure facility (please assume that hardend means everything you, dear reader, would do to secure a box). Now this Apache server is configured only to accept connections from clients who present a certificate signed by the CA who signed the servers cert. If the client is not signed I generate and securely transmit a cert to the client and then open the network to their IP. Since traffic is limited to IPs that I trust and everyone must have a certificate signed by my CA how can jerks break into my box? Seems to be to be pretty solid, so I must be missing something. /djb -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Cannot find iceauth in path
List, Gaaa! I upgraded and now my kde don't start, says it 'Could not find 'iceauth' in path". Further down there is a message that "xmessage: command not found". I thought iceauth was in dcopc so I added that package but no help, where do I get iceauth from? /djb -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
