rkhunter: Did anybody review it's code?

2009-08-11 Thread Siggy Brentrup
Hi list,

while looking at rkhunter bugs, I noticed maintainer arguing with a
bogus test on Bug#518405, for details see my followup there.  (I know
I forgot parenthesises in the 1st command line)

Given the test is from rkhunter's code, I doubt it's usefulness now
before someone more competent than me reviewed the code.

Thanks

Re: default character encoding for everything in debian

 Hi,
 
 I've an issue, that I forgot to set the character encoding of tomcat to utf-8

 Now, before I report a wishlist(?) bug to tomcat, I want to ask (and invite 
 to 
 discuss) shouldn't utf8 be the default character set everywhere? So when 
 installing a package from Debian I can assume that where a character encoding 
 can be set, it't set to utf8.
 MySQL would be another example, which to my knowledge uses isoXYZ as default 
 character encoding.

While utf-8 covers the broadest set of character glyphs possible, it
suffers from size as well as performance penalties. Characters no
longer are guaranteed to fit in a byte, how do you define
strlen(utf8_string) c pp.  All these issues have been solved but not
for free.

There are a lot of users out there that are not willing to pay the price
for increased generality.

just my 2¢

 Of course there's a penalty for certain operations.  But UTF-8 is about
 as compact as an extended encoding is going to get.

It's not Huffman (just kidding :), stating the obvious you're trading
time efficiency for space efficiency.

  There are a lot of users out there that are not willing to pay the price
  for increased generality.

 These users will need to change their character encoding to something else.
 But the Debian default should remain UTF-8.  Those not willing to pay the
 flexibility/performance tradeoff are the exception, and will need to
 customise their environment accordingly.

Either my memory is wrong or I seem to have missed some fundamental
change in Debian Policy during my 5 year of absence.  From those days
I seem to remember that Debian supported use of low end machines in
the past while they seem to be deprecated now as I was told in another
thread on d-u iirc.  Call me a dinosaur, I'm not yet decided how to
think about this.

  Yes.  There are infinitely many ways to make it harder to spam the list,

  * Not allowing posting to the list.
 
 I here we miss the important one (the only method we have available):
 
 * report a message as spam, so that we can let us filters learn from
 it and subsequently remove the spam message from the archive.
 
 on the web interface of a mailing list, available at
 http://lists.debian.org/list/ , you can search for the message and
 report as spam it, clicking on the button on upper right.
 
 This can be done by *anyone*, DDs and non, and all are encouraged to
 do so. It's fundamental to have reports: without them we have a false
 sense of spam-free mailing lists, when we all know it's not true.

And if for whatever reason somebody wants to see your list disfunctional,
you open an easy way to do so by implementing a bot that reports every
message as spam.  Do you volunteer to fix such a situation?

 In addition, DDs can *review* all the spam reports (to filter out
 false-positive from real spam messages) so that list masters can
 remove them from the archive. Please, every DD, dedicate 10 minutes
 (hopefully more that just once ;) ) of your time to do that: it's
 boring ok, but will result in a clean archive.

I can only speak about what I received on 20+ mailing list (mostly
non-Debian) during the last month.  Current spam ratio is quite
acceptable for me ( 10 out of 500 per day including personal mail ),
it's a single keystroke to move spam to a special folder that is fed
to spamprobe train-spam hourly.  I can live with the current
situation.

Finally, if you want me to help on anything Debian related, nag DAM to

 Debmirror is written in perl so you should have some grasp and love

No way.

 I hate perl and it certainly hasn't helped the package. You should
 also be using debmirror so you notice day to day problems and care
 about fixing them.

Question regarding the default system shell

2009-07-26 Thread Siggy Brentrup
Hi list,

apologies again for the nonsense I uttered in another thread on this
issue.

I've been off list for more than 5 years now and I remember the
discussion on changing the default system shell to be recurring every
now and then in '03-'04.  Arguments were essentially the same as
nowadays meaning almost no progress in 5 years in that issue (not
counting removed bashisms).

My question is: will it ever happen that I may safely leave 
  /bin/sh - dash 
while running an upgrade without fearing a maintainer script
fails?

 Been there. Done that. Had no problems.

I'm not sure about it because there were lots of other problems to
solve when I upgraded my SGI Indy r5k that ran a sid from '04, I
dist-upgraded via etch and lenny to now unstable (except for openssh
and postfix).  Early in this process I had to point /bin/sh to bash.

 Also, Ubuntu, which mainly uses Debian packages unchanged, uses dash as
 sh since years ago, without significant problems.

Running Ubuntu in one partition of my laptop, I'm aware of that.

 Users may have problems with locally written scripts, or third-party
 scripts, but that's true for any change. It should not stop progress.

That's perfectly clear and doesn't really matter.

 Well, you asked for some feedback and you got some positive. I can
 just re-state that positive feedback. I'm writing to you from an
 debian/unstable machine which I use daily, and on which I switched to
 dash about 6 months ago. Since then I've had not a single problem
 ... at the point that when this discussion fired up again I had to
 check my /bin/sh to be sure that I actually changed the link back
 then.

Iirc the problems must have been in pre-etch or etch maintainer scripts
and I worked around them by pointing /bin/sh to bash.  I guess nobody
wants reports from that dist-upgrade.

 If your '03/'04 memories are different, then apparently we managed to
 fix quite a lot of bugs since then :-)

You conviniently didn't cite me not counting removed bashisms :)
Style and length of discussions w/o a consensus seem to be still
the same.

 Please give it another try and report any issue you find.

I did so half an hour before you sent your message :) 
Be assured I'll report any issue I happen to run over.

Anyway, many thanks for your confirmation

ps: While I was writing this the Indy is building openssh to check
whether -fPIC broke ssh  friends on mips. Same procedure with
postfix will follow, 2 packages I had to downgrade for a usable
sid.

On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 11:19 -0400, Sam Hartman wrote:


 Folks, there was a longish discussion on IRC starting about an hour
 ago about dash and bash.

These discussions are extremely long standing :)  The move away from
bash has been aimed at long before I vanished from the project in 2004.
I'm really upset that 5 years are not enough to accomplish the move.

 I agree we want to move the default /bin/sh to /bin/dash.
 However I'm failing to understand why  we want dash to be essential.
 If I'm not using dash as my /bin/sh why do I need it?

So you are complaining about a small package (installed size 224)
becoming essential while forcing the embedded ppl to work around a
monster (installed size 1236); numbers taken from my Ubuntu laptop
where both are essential, I hope only for a limited period of time.
Although preferring CLI over GUI I don't use both of them, I prefer
zsh for my daily work but my #!/bin/sh scripts are always posixly
correct.

 If the answer is that we really do want it everywhere independent of
 what /bin/sh is, that's fine.  However, that's not obvious to me.

As long as /bin/sh refuses extensions to posix I agree with you, but
bashism has been a cuss word for years before 2004.

 So, a proposal for doing a switch with dash not essential.

 1) all /bin/sh shells know about each other.

 2) The prerm script for a /bin/sh shell finds another /bin/sh shell
and updates the symlink if the current /bin/sh link is the one being
removed.

 3) The postinst for a /bin/sh shell can update the link if it
decides that the installed shell would make a better /bin/sh

 4) There is a package `the-shell ' that is essential and pre-depends
on one of the /bin/sh shells.

Maybe posixly-correct-shell would be a better name.

Summing up you suggest making a virtual package - however it's called
- essential.  While I think I grok your intentions, I doubt dpkg
will follow, please read carefully:

  http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s3.8

 Variations:

 1) You could have a registration mechanism.  My assumption is the
set is small enough static is good

 2) I assume that package operations cannot take place between
calling the prerm script and actually removing the package.  If that
is false, you could make sure that you are changing the link to a
configured shell

 I really don't mind if we go forward with the current proposal.
 However, I think I and a lot of other people would appreciate clarity,
 so far not expressed, about why dash needs to be essential.

See debian-policy cited above.

if you see it again; yesterday I posted this to d-u and apart from a
quick but useless reply got no reaction.  I can't tell whether my
English is to bad, or he was just trolling.

Subject: MTA experts: address rewriting depending on next hop
User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14)
X-SpamProbe: GOOD 0.011 fa03221406f4c813c59339de01bc9946

Hi List,

to start with, it's not a vital problem, I only want to fix sth
annoying me.

As quite a number among you, I'm running a LAN connected to
the big world via switched ADSL.

I'm looking for a MTA that is capable of rewriting addresses
*only* on mails that leave the LAN.

In general I'm using postfix as MTA of choice, using generic_map for
address rewriting, but that fires whenever a message leaves the host,
hence I see external addresses even on internal mails.

With postfix a solution would be to run a second instance with it's
own queue for dispatching, passing only outbound messages to the
address rewriting instance.

Here's the question again: which one of the abundance of MTAs in
Debian is capable of address rewriting depending on destination?  

I'm not to lazy to read documentation, but if at all possible not for
all MTAs.

At present that's only an annoyance to me, but I can imagine
situations where a solution might become vital.

- End forwarded message -

Thanks
  Siggy

ps: moved 'End forwarded message' up, nobody needs a duplicate

2002-12-06 Thread Siggy Brentrup

support:  Sorry, if you buy Debian, you always get it. The opinions

Craig Sanders [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:


[...]

 it's irrelevant whether other debian developers or users agree with me
 or disagree with me about the relative utility of these two packages.
 by not censoring packages, by refusing to censor packages, we create
 a distribution which is good and useful for everyone - not just those
 whose needs are the same as the censors. some find the bible package
 useful and i don't begrudge them that - if it makes debian more useful
 to them then it is a good thing that it is included.
 
 we should not be censoring, we should not be saying the bible is good
 but the koran or bhagavid gita or even the anarchist faq is worthless.
 or vice-versa.

Is it really censoring to keep all non-technical packages out of main?
I don't say don't package it nor don't make it available.

 if something is free and someone does the work to package it then we
 accept it in the distribution.

There should be one for the main distribution. Assume I want to go
into the CD business providing support for packages in the main

The way it is, I can't say Support for all of Debian's main dist.

My point is, should there be subjective stuff in the main dist?

  Just make sure that when you do throw it out, you take the bible with it :)

*SECONDED*

 I dont think throwing out bible(1) is a good idea
 It is exactly, letter-after-letter what it claim to be, it is on 2nd CD, 
 well-compressed
 (anarchism was in both text and html unpacked versions) and
 is wide-used doc, althru not computing-related

 And this is the only place where someone can get english
 electronical version of bible. It also have interesting browser
 which can be used for many other docs of such
 structure(book/chapter/verse) (There is sometimes a need for it) and
 interesting compresion-method As long as there is some place on 2nd
 CD i dont see any big reason to throw it out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, since I have been away from the list for some 
time. 

In my understanding the bible packages belong into contrib *at
best*, since it's value to the public is at least questionable if not
offensive to muslims, buddhists(no not to them), hindus ...

As an alternative I might decide to get at a digital version of Karl
Marx's Das Kapital or Mao's Little Red Book and package it for
debian just for fun. Either have to go into non-us I presume :)

 btw : im atheist

Please define in private mail, dunno wether I'm atheist, antitheist,
agnostic or simply a pagean. In our culture definitions of these terms
mostly come from the other side.

[unnecessary kludge deleted]

Bruce By chance, does man evaluate the $PAGER variable? I don't
Bruce have man working at the moment on my own system due to an
Bruce ELF library conflict.

You're right, man evaluates $PAGER (I'm using PAGER=less -j5 to see
some preceeding lines on searches). Even if you have a man that
doesn't honor $PAGER envvar, less(1) shows that the program takes
options from the $LESS.

(As always it pays to RTM, just couldn't resist :)

managed to get more than an MB and that at approx 100cps.

With the ALPHA-TEST tree now being available on european mirrors, I
expect to be up to speed sometime tomorrorw. 

Darren Who's going to be the maintainer?  I'd want to talk with
Darren them some about it.

While I'm open to suggestions, please give me a chance to look at
what's there before expecting me to comment on these issues.

 The -D option is now needed to list the dynamic symbols in a shared
 library that can not be stripped.  You'll have to ask the binutils
 developers why they did this.

Darren Ick.  Would that be of the GNU package or of the linux shared 
library
Darren specs (gcc folks).

Thanks
  Siggy

Downloading from US sites

1995-12-10 Thread Siggy Brentrup
Hi all,

finally I have got my network connection up to speed with accepable
transfer rates when connected to european sites and I'm trying hard to
download David's work from ftp.ods.com, but at about 100 cps this is a
pain in the ...

With current phone rates that's 3.35DM/MB and will be as high as
5.24DM/MB next year, note that these are only local phone calls!

While I'm keen of contributing to the Debian project, I just can't
afford the phone bill at these transfer rates.

Some weeks ago I suggested decentralization of ftp.debian.org using
rdist to keep sites in sync. While the problem has been taken care of
for uploading, I don't know of a mirror where I can find packages
freshly uploaded to ftp.debian.org as of yet.

I'm thinking of adding a 1G disk at my new provider's site to mirror
debian including the ALPHA-TEST subtree, but there are political
objections from an upstream site to make it publicly available (You
know who you are).

Your comments are welcome.

Thanks
  Siggy

Matt I am sorry to be an ass here but you have to understand
Matt these views. I am doing what is best for the University by

The point isn't downloading illegal software for releasing. I am
perfectly aware of the fact that software in Incoming is not for
public use; in contrast to CD vendors I don't want to be the 1st to
the market for making money from unreleased software.

In this particular case I have to download megabytes of gcc  friends
to take over the packages I volunteered to maintain from David Engel
and am not willing to pay more than absolutely necessary for it. I
know you guys over there have local calls for free, so you probably
don't see the problem.

I don't yet know enough about administering an ftp site, just a
thought: when ftp'ing I sometimes see ident requests coming in from
the server. Is there a way to use this mechanism to make parts of the
server available only to developers or whomever you trust enough?

Greetings
  Siggy

PS: Things being as they are, I'll have to wait until David's work has
been moved to ALPHA-TEST, provided Sven mirrors that one.

Sorry for that, see below.

I offered to take ncurses when Bruce put it at disposal, but his
response got lost as we found out in private email, probably due to
problems at my provider's. Sorry for that.

Furthermore I am inclined to defer downloading large packages like gcc
and the like until next week since I'm changing technology (ISDN) and
provider and get another 1Gig :)

In case you can't wait, feel free to drop me a note, I'll try to find
a solution.

Bill Is the stuff in /usr/include/ncurses to be repositioned to
Bill /usr/include or to remain in /usr/include/ncurses?

I'd prefer to leave it in /usr/lib/ncurses (don't like monster
directories) but I'm not religious about that.

F'up to debian-devel!

Dirk Will ligb++-2.7.x be debianized or do we have to grab that ourselves? 

libg++ is high on my personal priority list, since I'm using it extensively for
my work. But you'll have to wait til my network connection is up to pace
sometime next week. I'm tired of downloading at well below 1K/s.

Dirk I need it for my work. And I'd like to, if I can, do without the aout
Dirk versions of gcc and friends and go to elf directly. 

At least for a transition period both binary formats should be
supported using gcc's -b flag (default to ELF). 

Beyond that I need some cross development tools for SCO and OS/2, but
those seem to be out of Debian's scope.

Re: package uploading probs

Just finished with my 1st cup of coffee today :) 

Nice to see there's some discussion on this topic underway.

Are you sure that mirror is a good idea? How are files on a european
mirror deleted? I won't make sense retrieving them again every hour.

Junk your mirror program, if it refetches files - at the very least rewrite it 
:)

In my original post I proposed sort of a distributed package upload directory 
for
developers. Despite the directory name, some of you guys 'n gals fetch packages
from ftp.debian.org's incoming directory as soon as they are announced. At least
that's what I conclude when seeing bug reports for packages not yet in public 
view.

OTOH in general I don't like any polling approaches - maybe that's a personal
preference. Why should you add to network traffic only to find out there's
nothing to be mirrored?

Are there any security problems when using rdist on mutually trusted sites?
I'm using it only on a LAN where I'm the only user I wouldn't trust :)

Sorry Matthew, I know you don't like rdist. Is there any compelling reason for
your dislike?

I think it's a good idea. There are some debian mirrors in europe I
know of: ftp.leidenuniv.nl and somewhere at *.uni-dresden.de.

ftp.uni-paderborn.de wasn't in debian.mirrors last time I checked.

If you decide to so, It would be a good idea if that machine gets an
alias as ftp.europe.debian.org, so that it can be easily found and
used.

That probably isn't a good idea. Since the primary purpose is a regional upload
directory, it will be used only by a limited set of people who should know what
they are doing.

package uploading probs

1995-10-29 Thread Siggy Brentrup
This message is intended in the first place for developers over here in
Europe. I wonder if there are others experiencing the same problems that I have
when uploading files to ftp.debian.org and are looking out for a solution.

Since my account @uni-muenster.de is a rather limited one, I'm working almost
exclusively on our tiny Debian/GNU Linux LAN at home and use PPP with dynamic IP
addressing to connect to the net. Uploading large files (python* is approx. 4M)
even during off-peak hours (0030-0130 UTC seems to be best) is prohibitively
slow even with local phone rates (they are at 0.23DM/720s now and will go up to
0.12DM/240s next year). It wouldn't be much of a concern when succeeding on the
first try, but I lost track of how many attempts failed for various reasons.

The trans-atlantic links being slow as they are, a dual approach to mirroring
FTP sites sprang to my mind. What if we are distributing the project's incoming
directory across some sites with good connectivity and use rdist(1) to keep them
in sync? Major mirror sites might be good canditates for this.

Before going into greater detail, I'd like to read your comments.

Thanks
