 Do you understand that Ransom Love IS NOT A PART OF UNITED LINUX AT

after a few minutes, I telnet back to my server at port 23. got this:

I am still in the office, so didn't know what really happened.
maybe the system has rebooted and the original IP was taken by someone else.

More than little. It is a real problem. We use a DSP card that is this size.
And this size is getting very unpopular. Fewer and fewer boxes support it.
The ones that do seem to go to the extreme.

Oddly, both Dell and IBM have 1U serveres that will hold such a card. Thin,
but 60CM deep.

 anyone got an *existing* script that could list

 sorting is not important.
 
 I think I need to use perl if I am to write one.
 can I do it with bash+utils only?

I don't have one for your system, but if you post the iptables LOG rule,
and/or one of the lines from /var/log/messages you're interested in, a
script can be easily done.

I have a few that probably just need modification for your purposes.

I just need example to get started. my perl is really weak despite of my 
agiility in foxpro and c.

Sep 20 19:51:44 server kernel: iptables IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC=
SRC=64.4.13.202 DST=218.102.112.235 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=119

that's one sample entry. I will proces the line with DPT= and then 
plot number of hits vs port number. that's more useful and interesting 
than browing the whole log file.

Not  quite shure what you are driving at here???  Both LFS and gentoo
can be built without rebooting.

 hmmm, I wonder if you can install GenToo in a chrooted
 environment...ie, build LFS, then chroot to the LFS base install and

This sound incredibly hokey!!!  And the reason you would want to try
installing gentoo using a doubly chrooted environment from LFS is???

Gentoo always installs using a chrooted environment as does LFS, but
why on earth would you want to use one or the other to install the
other one?

If you want LFS or gentoo, set yourself up a partition for each,
install each from your running system using a spare tty, and alter
your lilo/grup setup after the installs are complete.

 OK. From what I've read on GenToo, I need to boot into it to install. If 
 I can install GenToo in a spare partition while keeping my *real* system 
 running, I'm interested. Please enlighten me further. Ping me off list 
 if you like.

Pretty simple- create a filesystem on the spare partition, mount the
Gentoo CD and the new filesystem, cd to the new filesystem, unpack the
stage1, 2, or 3 tarball of your choice from the CD into the new
partition, and chroot to your Gentoo partition.  Then you get to start
downloading the portage tree, bootstrapping, building a new kernel, and
having fun seeing what packages are there (my favorite ebuilds for KDE
CVS will probably never make it into the portage tree).

1. Take a shot of the native Grub boot screen - but how to accomplish that 
without a real OS running?
2. Simulate the boot screen in a linux terminal. You can use the Grub command 
'configfile=' to display the boot menu, but the splash screen doesn't get 
loaded.
3. Take a real photograph from the boot screen - but I don't have a digital

4. Place the computer monitor displaying the Grub screen onto an office copier

 Advanced Micro Devices will include Microsoft's Palladium trusted

I don't quite understand what the fuss is all about, to quote from MS's 
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2002/jul02/0724palladiumwp.asp

Core Principles of the Palladium Initiative
Development of Palladium is guided by important business and technical 
imperatives and assumptions. Among these are the following:

A Palladium-enhanced computer must continue to run any existing applications 
and device drivers. 

Palladium is not a separate operating system. It is based on architectural 
enhancements to the Windows kernel and to computer hardware, including the 
CPU, peripherals and chipsets, to create a new trusted execution subsystem 
(see Figure 1). 

Palladium will not eliminate any features of Windows that users have come to 
rely on; everything that runs today will continue to run with Palladium. 

In addition, Palladium does not change what can be programmed or run on the 
computing platform; it simply changes what can be believed about programs, 
and the durability of those beliefs. Moreover, Palladium will operate with 
any program the user specifies while maintaining security. 

And later..

Palladium is an opt-in system.

Palladium is entirely an opt-in solution; systems will ship with the 
Palladium hardware and software features turned off. The user of the system 
can choose to simply stay with this default setting, leaving all 
Palladium-related capabilities (hardware and software) disabled. 

Turning Palladium completely off includes turning it off in hardware, which 
prevents any software from turning it back on. Users have the ultimate 
control over their systems and their information; Palladium does not entail 
any global requirements.

I'm afraid we colonials quit believing those kinds of lines when someone
told us they'd never tax our tea.  ;-}

RANT
Seriously, though, unless I inspect the microcode in the chip I won't
believe that it can be turned off in such a manner that it won't look for
compatible software on the machine.  Without that assurance, it doesn't
matter what off means.  The people proposing Palladium have proven over
and over again that they cannot be trusted with security measures.  When I
run their software (as I must at work) I am continually confounded by the
attitude that they *know* what is best for me, regardless of what options I
have selected.  I've yet to meet a customer who demanded a back door in
their software that allows hackers (and the control-freak corporation) to
come in and fix things when no one is looking.

Questions hindering my use of Linux

2002-09-20 Thread Bonez

Dear Group:

I have a few questions I am trying to resolve, in my use of linux.

First, for those curious, I am running Caldera Open Linux Workstation 3.1,
on a Pentium II machine, with 296mb ram.

Here are my problems:

When rebooting, I end up with a system frozen with the following as the
last line: Sending all processes the TERM signal.

How do I get around this, so that my system will in fact shut down and then
reboot?

more to come ...

It may be optional now but as soon as they can MS will make it 
non-optional.   That's what they've done for everything so far - once they 
got the software market sewed up they hiked prices and but the screws to 
everyone.  If you look at what it is it's typical MS - a nonsolution to a 
problem that they caused.  They can't do secure operating systems (or any 
software for that matter) so now they are going to try and have the 
hardware make up for thier ineptness.

Sounds like it's shutting down instead of rebooting.
Try going to a console as root (su) and typing

 I just need example to get started. my perl is really weak despite of my
 agiility in foxpro and c.
 
 Sep 20 19:51:44 server kernel: iptables IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC=
 SRC=64.4.13.202 DST=218.102.112.235 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=119

 that's one sample entry. I will proces the line with DPT= and then 
 plot number of hits vs port number. that's more useful and interesting 
 than browing the whole log file.
 
 
  # chkhit /var/log/messages
  port,hits
  25,10
  139,1
  6112,20

  I have a few that probably just need modification for your purposes.

Personally, I'd use cut, sort, wc, grep, and a few others to get it where
I wanted it.  I'd also do it by date -- i.e., yesterday's date.  You could
set it up as a cron job and mail it to yourself every morning.  The above
is fairly easy with standard UNIX tools.  Perl will also do the job for
you, in fact, there's a few perl modules that may even help:
SyslogScan::ParseDate, SyslogScan::SyslogEntry, SyslogScan::Summary,
SyslogScan::UnsupportedEntry, and more.

your broken glibc/atexit problem solution!!!!

2002-09-20 Thread Greg Schafer

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

Ok, I have reinstated mention of this on my tweaks page. Hopefully this
might assist in stopping many people from building systems with broken
glibc's.

To reiterate the problem:-

 * if your Ch 5 gcc build says checking assembler hidden support... no
   then your glibc is broken. (the glibc function __cxa_atexit will not
   work properly - run glibc's make check and watch tstcxaatexit fail)

 * if the binutils version on your *host* system is 2.12.1 or greater
   then you should be ok - checking assembler hidden support... yes

 * using the HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN thing even if it does say yes is completely
   harmless (we end up with HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN defined twice - big deal!)

 * now that we are passing --enable-__cxa_atexit for gcc, it is vitally
   important that our __cxa_atexit function in glibc actually works.

 * if anyone has built a broken glibc then you can possibly get away with
   just rebuilding glibc with the dynamic gcc again in Ch 6

 * I still maintain that the LFS build method is potentially flawed. The
   *only* thing we build with our static Ch 5 gcc is glibc, the most
   important lib on the system! The only proper solution in my mind is to
   build glibc twice in Chapter 6 - at the start and at the end.

Greg


and further:
 Is the option --enable-__cxa_atexit for gcc in chapter 5  6 ok ?
 or should I pass this option only in chapter 6  ?

It only affects C++. We don't build a C++ compiler in Ch 5 therefore
there is no need to supply the switch in Ch 5.

 should I append #define HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN 1 to
 gcc-build/gcc/auto-host.h in chapter 5 ?

Yes, only in Ch 5. No need in Ch 6.

so, go read the LFS book about installing gcc and glibc and make use of these 
notes.

 Well, she's just starting the class, so I don't have any examples. As a

 The best trailers and the most are at apple

 BTW I personally have installed quicktime in both cxoffice and vmware, its
 never hung with me yet. Could it be to do with H/W or connection ?

Quicktime has the best visual quality of all the streaming video players in
my opinion.  With QuickTime 6 Apple has done a great job, now if they would
just port the player to Linux.  The have a Linux server for QuickTime media
that¹s free.  Since they are pushing OSX as a desktop Unix I don't think
they will port any of their software to Linux in the near future.
