Talk all your Windows friends to use NetMeeting which interoperates with GnomeMeeting. You can hint them that NetMeeting (just like GnomeMeeting) has more control than MSN on the picure size and position (e.g: your image as a separate window -- I think they added that only in the latest MSN release). 6.1 still doesn't have it yet. On the same thread. Anybody used NetMeeting and/or GnomeMeeting over NAT? I'm trying to avoid running some proxy on the firewall/NAT machine itself. Last time I tested (very short test), it negotiated the session with the other side (I could see the address/name of the NetMeeting partner, and they could see my address), but no video data was passed. Any hint from someone who actually use this would be helpfull. Well, I used GnomeMeeting few days ago. They have a simple script to let you forward some ports (NetMeeting uses tons of ports), and you'll need to register to their ILS server in order to connect from inside your firewall to the outside world, or vice versa. Works pretty well (although no text chat, no file up/downloading support, and no white board - too bad, all those features are fully open protocols).. Works pretty nice..

Staying in Linux Lecture series announcement
Hello All, As you might know (and in case you don't -- shame on you!), we have just finished the Welcome to Linux lecture series. The series was aimed at new Linux users, and helped them to start using Linux. As the series ended the club will return to its normal bi-weekly lectures on various topics (separate announcement will follow later). But those lectures aim mostly at people who have been using for quite some time. Those who don't fear the gcc, those who heard the name kernel, and especially those who received at least once the email So compile your kernel from muli. As you can see the gap between a newcomer to Linux and a regular club audience, Guy Keren suggested to hold Staying in Linux lecture series. The lecture series will contain 3 lectures covering various topics that interest even the more experienced Linux user, but still assumed as basic enough to not be in a regular lecture. So the following lectures will take place (on the following dates): 22/12/03: UNIX basics - users, permissions, processes, IO redirection, etc. 5/1/04: Installing new drivers. loading and removing modules, compiling kernel (a recipe). 19/1/04: Multimedia in Linux. Playing audio, video, DVDs, etc. All lectures will take place at the regular meeting place for the Haifa Linux Club - room 3 at the computer science dept., Technion. Feel free to come, and you are more than encouraged to tell about the Staying in Linux series to everyone you know. -- Orr Dunkelman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that reason infallibly be faulty -- Herman Melville, Moby Dick.

Re: Linux Server and Timezones ( cross topic )
Stay out of the timezone mess altogether. 1. Keep times in UTC. 2. Let the manager's preferences have a local time zone for himself, and when he enters a time you translate from his local timezone to gmt. 3. Maybe add a system configuration parameter to display the timezone in which the times should be displayed. That's basically the way UNIX handles this, and in a way that's why it's probably the easiest aproach (functions to translate to local time zones and back already exist in the standard C library). BTW - the term local NTP server hints to me that you might not be aware what that means - NTP servers give GMT time. They don't care about local time zones. The only place where the local time raises it's ugly head (or should be) are the functions which actually print times (to logs or on the screen), everywere else you should be able to take a large integer number anywere in the world and treat it as the number of seconds since 12AM, Jan 1, 1970, GMT. --Amos Ben-Nes Michael wrote: Hi All I'm building an E-commerce auction store for Hungarian company.

And for some stupid and unkonwn reason the first time I installed GDM did not have hebrew UI and now it does (in both mdk9.2 installed from the same disk and I did a clean install choosing hebrew, and of course /etc/sysconfig/i18n had hebrew all over the place). = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Debian.org Hacked
For those who missed it, the Debian machines were hacked because of a combination of a sniffed password and a local root exploit. The hole is believed to be only locally exploitable, not remotely. More details on this exploit are at http://isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0012-do_brk.txt Among other things, it says that: Impact: === Successful exploitation of do_brk() leads to full compromise of vulnerable system, including gaining full uid 0 privileges, possibility of kernel code and data structures modification as well as kernel-level (ring0) code execution. Tested and successfully exploited kernel versions include: o 2.4.20-18.9 as shipped with RedHat 9.0 o 2.4.22 (vanila) o 2.4.22 with grsecurity patch There is no known reliable workaround for this vulnerability. We recommend upgrading to the most recent kernel version (so far the 2.4.23 kernel) on all vulnerable systems. As an aside, I wonder how many people here are using Linux to grant other people full shell account? How many full shell users do they have? -- If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.

Re: Debian.org Hacked
The Debian Projecthttp://www.debian.org/ Debian Investigation Report [EMAIL PROTECTED] December 2nd, 2003 Debian Investigation Report after Server Compromises The Debian administration team and security experts are finally able to pinpoint the method used to break-in into four project machines. However, the person who did this has not yet been uncovered. The package archives were not altered by the intruder. The Debian administration and security teams have checked these archives (security, us, non-us) quite early on in the investigation and re-installation process. That's why the project was able to open up the security archive again and confirm that the stable update (3.0r2) wasn't compromised. If the project had anticipated to get compromised at the same time the stable update was implemented, the involved people would have postponed it. However, the updated packages were already installed in the stable archive and mirror servers at the time the break-ins were discovered, so it wasn't possible to hold it back anymore. Several methods based on different control data were used to verify the packages and to ensure that the archives weren't altered by the attacker: . externally stored lists of MD5 sums accumulated over the past weeks on not compromised machines . digitally signed .changes files from external debian-devel-changes archives on not compromised machines . digitally signed .changes files on the respective archive servers . externally stored mirror log files Timeline Below is the timeline of discovery and recovery of the compromised machines. All times are in UTC. Some times are only estimates since our conversation did not contain exact timestamps.

Since that system was running without problems for a long time, the system was about to be taken into maintenance for deeper investigation of potential hardware problems. However, at the same time, a second machine, murphy, was experiencing exactly the same problems, which made the admins suspicious. Also, klecker, murphy and gluck have Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (package aide) installed to monitor filesystem changes and at around the same time it started warning that /sbin/init had been replaced and that the mtime and ctime values for /usr/lib/locale/en_US had changed. Further investigation revealed the cause for both these problems to be the SucKIT root-kit. It includes password sniffing and detection evasion capabilities (i.e. tools to hide processes and files) which are installed directly into the kernel, which in turn caused the oopses that were noticed. Detailed Attack Analysis On Wednesday, November 19th, at approximately 5pm GMT, a sniffed password was used to log into an unprivileged developer account on the host klecker (.debian.org). The attacker then retrieved the source code through HTTP for an (at that time) unknown local kernel exploit and gained root permissions via this exploit. Afterwards, the SucKIT root-kit was installed. The same account and password data were then used to log into the machine master, to gain root permissions with the same exploit and also to install the SucKIT root-kit. The attacker then tried to get access to the host murphy with the same account. This failed because murphy is a restricted machine and its only purpose is to act as list server to which only a small subset of developers can log into. Since the initial login attempt didn't work the person used his root access on
Re: Staying in Linux Lecture series announcement
Orr Dunkelman wrote: Hello All, As you might know (and in case you don't -- shame on you!), we have just finished the Welcome to Linux lecture series. The series was aimed at new Linux users, and helped them to start using Linux. As the series ended the club will return to its normal bi-weekly lectures on various topics (separate announcement will follow later). But those lectures aim mostly at people who have been using for quite some time. Those who don't fear the gcc, those who heard the name kernel, and especially those who received at least once the email So compile your kernel from muli. As you can see the gap between a newcomer to Linux and a regular club audience, Guy Keren suggested to hold Staying in Linux lecture series. The lecture series will contain 3 lectures covering various topics that interest even the more experienced Linux user, but still assumed as basic enough to not be in a regular lecture. So the following lectures will take place (on the following dates): 22/12/03: UNIX basics - users, permissions, processes, IO redirection, etc. 5/1/04: Installing new drivers. loading and removing modules, compiling kernel (a recipe). 19/1/04: Multimedia in Linux. Playing audio, video, DVDs, etc. All lectures will take place at the regular meeting place for the Haifa Linux Club - room 3 at the computer science dept., Technion. Feel free to come, and you are more than encouraged to tell about the Staying in Linux series to everyone you know. May I ask a lecture about talking to windows users?

RedHat equivalent of make-kpkg?
Is there any red-hat equivalent for Debian's make-kpkg? For those who don't know what it is - make-kpkg allows one to take a vanilla kernel source and build .deb files for the kernel image, modules etc. It just looks a bit wierd to me that such an important part of the system like the kernel image should just be cp(1)'ed over to /vmlinux and linked manually, without making the RPM database aware of the change and helping me keep track of the installed kernels on the system.
