RE: prob. con mesajes a la lista
Esto era porque el servidor de correo de tu ISP era un relay abierto, que fue (ab)usado para enviar correo comercial no solicitado (SPAM) desde él. Debian tiene instalados 2 sistemas anti-spam (RBL y RSS). Cuando un usuario recibe SPAM lo reporta, indicando su procedencia. Seguidamente se avisa al administrador de ese sistema para que solucione el problema. Si no lo hace en un determinado plazo (una semana, creo) se bloquea el correo procedente de él. En tu caso parece que tu administrador tardó en hacerlo, y por ello durante un tiempo no se permitió la entrada de mensajes procedentes de tu ISP, incluyendo los tuyos.

Re: Como escribir documentacion para man

He usado sgml para escribir howtos, pero no tengo ni idea ni donde hay informacion de como hacer paginas man. ¿Hay algun otro método? Tengo que hacer 2 para un programa nuevo que tengo sin documentar. Después de ensayar vários métodos como sgml, escribir directamente en troff, etc, llegué a la conclusión que la mejor forma de hacer páginas de manual es usando perl. No es nada complicado ni es necesario saber nada de perl. El perl viene con un utilitario llamado pod2man (además de pod2html, pod2tex y pod2text). pod quiere decir Plain Old Documentation. Por ejemplo, para escribir la página de manual de un programa que me convierte un glosario en código sgml para docbook (programa dict2docbook, ftp://quark/pub/orca/) escribí lo siguente en un fichero (ejemplo-pod): =head1 NAME dict2docbook - Creates a SGML (DocBook) version of glosario.dict =head1 SYNOPSIS Sdict2docbook filename =head1 DESCRIPTION This programs reads the glosario.dict text file and creates a SGML version of it, conforming to the DocBook DTD. =head1 AUTHOR Jaime Villate Elt[EMAIL PROTECTED]gt. =cut Después he hecho: pod2man ejemplo-pod ejemplo-pod.1 para crear la página de manual, que después puede ser leída con: man -l ejemplo-pod.1 La sintaxis completa del pod está explicada en man perlpod, y es bastante simple. El único paquete que necesitas es perl (o sea, hoy en día en Debian, perl-5.004 o perl-5.005). Si el programa que quieres documentar está escrito en perl, el código pod puede estar dentro del mismo programa y puede servir tanto para documentar el código fuente, como para crear la documentación adicional.

Re: network/ethernet card configuration problem?
On Mon, Jul 17, 2000 at 02:55:54PM -0300, James Polson wrote Hi, I'm completely new to Linux, so the solution to my problem may be trivial to all of you experienced Debian Linux users (so I hope!). I'm trying to install Debian Linux (mostly with success), but I think that I'm having problems connecting with the ethernet card in my computer. The symptoms are: (1) A message during booting that is something like network is unreachable (I don't know what log file to look for to get the exact wording). (2) When I type ifconfig -a, I should see listings for two interfaces, lo and eth0, but the second one (the ethernet one) is not there. (3) Not surprisingly, telnet, ftp, etc. can't be used. (4) In the /var/log/syslog file, there is a message: cardmgr[189]: starting, version is 3.0.5 cardmgr[189]: no sockets found! cardmgr[189]: exiting I think that this problem reported is related. These lines relate to the PCMCIA support software; if you have no PCMCIA slots (which is what the card manager seems to believe) then it isn't a problem; you can ignore these messages, or be rid of them by removing the pcmcia-* packages. Information about my system: (1) I have a D-Link DE 220 card. (2) I have the NC2000 driver in /lib/modules/2.0.36/net This is the appropriate driver for the card, according to the D-Link website. The correct way to proceed depends on which version of Debian you are using (slink (2.1), potato (2.2), etc.); which is it? You can check if things are going to work out for you by trying the following commands as root: # lsmod This lists the driver modules currently loaded. If the ne or ne2k-pcidriver is loaded then you should see it listed in the output to this command, like so: ne2k-pci4136 1 Assuming it isn't loaded, try loading it by hand. If your NIC is a PCI card you should use the ne2k-pci driver, like so: # modprobe ne2k-pci PCI cards shouldn't need any extra parameters. If it's an ISA card you will need to use the ne module, and will need to pass at least the IO port as a parameter, with a command like this: # modprobe ne io=0x300 irq=10 You can skip the IRQ parameter, but if you know what it is then it makes things a little more bullet-proof. If you don't know what IO address the card is using, the Windows Device Manager (under System in Control Panels) will probably tell you. If the card is a bona-fide ISA/PNP card (as opposed to a traditional ISA card) then this will fail after a cold boot, and you will need to set the card up using isapnp before you can use it under Linux. The way modules are handled changed a couple of times in older (pre-2.1) Debian releases; you should check if the following files exist: /etc/modules.conf /etc/conf.modules /etc/modutils/ (a directory) /etc/modules This won't get you on the network, but it will tell you what you need to go further. Get back to us when you've tried this and let us know what Debian release you're using, and you should get some better-targeted help.

Re: telnet vs ssl
On Mon, Jul 17, 2000 at 02:09:03PM -0400, Ethan Pierce wrote Hi, im wondering about the security of telnet - people say its really unsecure...does this mean that someone would need to be running a network sniffer on my ip to catch the data? I telnet to my ISP from work, (only telnet available) then run SSH from ISP shell to home machineis this just as insecure as a straight connection via telnet right to my home machine? Maybe, it depends how your data gets from work to your ISP. If you're dialling up your ISP from work it's not so bad, because only machines on your ISP's net can see the traffic from your telnet session; if you're telnetting from your corporate LAN across the Internet to your ISP then it's no better than using Telnet alone. You don't need an SSH server to use SSH from your workplace: there are at least a couple of free Windows terminal programs (teraterm pro and putty) that can use SSH, and you could probably run them off a floppy. Of course, your workplace may be paranoid about you using or installing unauthorised software, in which case you should try to persuade them to authorise one of these (if they are across the security issues it shouldn't be a problem, provided they don't mind you using your home machine on work time).

It sounds like they're trying to give you an excuse to make life easier for Microsoft administrators by getting rid of Linux. The fact is that viruses are almost unheard of on Linux. I've only heard of 2 Linux-specific viruses in the last 3 years; neither has been seen since 1997. Viruses are really only a concern on Windows systems where there is no security (or the security mechanisms are set very lax by default with no one around to know to tighten up the system...) to keep any program from doing anything they want to the computer. There are antivirus programs that run under Linux - McAfee (now Network Associates) makes one, for example. However, due to the lack of Linux/UNIX viruses, these anti-virus programs are meant to be run on servers - mail servers, file servers, or anything else that has to interact with Windows PCs. The biggest problem relating to viruses on Linux is running untrusted scripts on your machine, just like on Windows. However, there is one very important differece between Linux and Windows in this regard: unlike Windows email programs, Linux email programs *do not* execute programs recieved as attachments automatically - you need to 1) save the program to disk and 2) manually execute it before any damage can be done. -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.

Re: esd says unable to bind port 16001

I would say that %99.999 of Linux users have not seen either of these virii (I know I haven't). The F-Secure site says that it believes that Stoag is not in circulation. I would think the same for Bliss as well. Can you count the number of Windows virii on one hand? No anti-virus software is required, even with 2 Linux virii.

Hi Olaf,

Dear Debians,
I'm looking for any kind of info on vulnerability to viruses on Debian
and/or Linux. Pointers to anti-virus programs are also very welcome.
If I can't convince some people here at work, I'm about to be told to
disconnect from the net or use (heaven forbid!) Windows for any kind
of internet activity beyond our firewall. And that seems to include
sending email like this to the list. Gack!
As other have pointed out, there are almost no known viruses for
UNIX/Linux as such, and the two or three ever heard of are (as far as I
know) almost never encountered. For some reason, hackers don't bother
to attack UNIX systems that way (probably there's more mileage in other
types of attack).
A line of virus which might well be possible, and platform-independent,
is the planting of Java in HTML. This could hit UNIX/Linux and Windows
equally, though I haven't heard of it on Linux. A lot of Linux MUAs
can open HTML attachments in Netscape, though usually not automatically
(the user has to choose).
DOS/Windows viruses are another matter, in these days when people
routinely mail each other Word/Excel etc attachments in the name of
communication. Even Linux folk have to deal with these things, which
usually means running Windows on another machine, or in WABI or WINE or
VMWare, and opening the file (though most Word docs can be handled in
Linux-native WordPerfect which should not be vulnerable to a Word macro
virus, for instance).
Once you have done that, your Windows installation may be messed up
(though the Linux part of your installation should survive). In any case,
if you subsequently forward the attachment to a colleague you will be
sending the virus on, whether your Linux system is immune to it or not.
These add up to arguments for virus-checking incoming mail, even on
a UNIX/Linux system.
Clearly, plain-text and similar emails don't need checking, and usually
attachments are not opened automatically either, so there should be
no need to virus-check every mail (which, if it's done on delivery,
really slows things down).
I simply take the precaution of running a virus check only on a mail
containing a possibly suspicious attachment and leaving the rest alone
(having been caught once by a macro virus in a Word/Win-3.1 document
which caused my WABI/Win-3.1 Word to send it on whenever I subsequently
used this Word).
The program I use is VirusScan ('uvscan') from Network Associates:
see in the first place http://www.nai.com and, in particular,
http://software.mcafee.com/centers/download/
along with the MacAfee virus database (though you can use others). It
seems to work quite well. You can configure it to be run standalone
rather than as a filter for incoming mail: then, if you see a mail
attachment that you think might need a check, you just feen that
attachment to the virus checker (My MUA, XFMail, has a flexible MIME menu
which allows you to View As any attachment; and you can set one of the
As options to be a pipe to the checker).
Phil Brutsche in this thread said that there is one very
important differece between Linux and Windows in this regard: unlike
Windows email programs, Linux email programs *do not* execute programs
recieved as attachments automatically - you need to 1) save the program to
disk and 2) manually execute it before any damage can be done.
This is not quite true, either in principle or in fact.
First, nothing stops someone from developing an email program (MUA)
which _could_ automatically (without user selection) open an attachment
it thought it knew how to handle (though I don't know of one; but
a naive user could set this up in the rules for filtering incoming mail,
I dare say).
Secondly, when you receive an email consisting (in effect) solely of
an attachment with no other significant information, all you can usefully
do is open the attachment. In many MUAs this is simply a matter of
clicking on the attachment bar and the rest is then automatic;
the scope for user discrimination is almost nil (with the exception
of running a virus check on it).
Now, although I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, in XFMail at least
you could have one of your MIME entries of the form
type/subtype extn command
application/prog exe exec
which would have the effect of executing the attachment as a program.
I hope this helps. Olaf's situation is not as straightforward as he
might wish!

Seems to me that the logic on that is broken. /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
is not a good way to determine whether kerneld should be run.
What I think is that you are wrong. If you have compiled your kernel with
'CONFIG_KMOD' defined, then you would have kmod built into your
kernel. kmod is a REPLACEMENT for kerneld, remember?
Perhaps you should file a bug on it?

Re: [Q] virus susceptibility data
Okay - call it a Martian[1] solution, but the only way your linux box could hold a virus is if the data was writeable by users. I have 18 Gb of CDROMS shared via samba - the entire partition is mounted read only, and clients can't write to the share anyway. OR the other solution is to run your standard windows virus checker on the contents of the share And you won't need another license cos you're running an existing license. The drawback there is every infectable file will have to be read over the network but thats what schedualled birus checks are good for.

Re: Remote Apps
Quoting Ethan Pierce ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Id like to be able to run ftp and telnet to my home machine from work...normally this works fine. Today I thought I would just boot up my home machine to the login and leave it there to save some processor...theoretically this is supposed to work? I called another friend (this is b4 I left for work) and had him log in...this worked. I left for work and when I arrived couldnt log in...hmm What do you mean by couldn't log in? Called my girlfriend and had her log in locally...now I could get in again from work...weird I logged out remote , then came back an hour later...couldnt connect to or ping my machine...called her up again and had her startx thinking maybe I needed something running full time to have the remote network access. Now things are working remotely without the hitch. What do you mean by couldn't connect to my machine? Now, my questions are: 1)Does remote network access depend on users logged in locally? No. 2) If a user is logged in locally and times out so to speak from not doing anything will this cut off remote access? No. The problem is, you say nothing about how you're trying to connect. Are you on cable, or are you using the telephone? Did the telephone get answered? On each occasion? Rather than post exactly what happened and what didn't, you seem to have decided that it's something to do with other users on the machine. I don't know why.

RE: Problem with Samba after upgrade to frozen
Hi, After upgrading to 'frozen' at the weekend, I can't get samba to work. Whenever anyone tries to connect, I get an error logged, complaining that samba can't change the group id (this is in /var/log/smb). It appears to be trying to change to the group of the user that is trying to connect. Can anyone offer any advice? IIRC, that is a bug with the 2.0.x kernels and the newer samba. If you are running a 2.0.x kernel, try changing to a 2.2.x one. Someone recompiled samba for 2.0 kernels and posted a url for the debs. I have since lost it. I think it was Jens Jorgensen.

You need to have 'CONFIG_KMOD' set in your kernel build to have it,
which I don't.
Seems to me that the logic on that is broken. /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
is not a good way to determine whether kerneld should be run.
What I think is that you are wrong.
Well, you're allowed your own opinions, even if they are boneheaded and
not backed up by facts.
If you have compiled your kernel with
'CONFIG_KMOD' defined, then you would have kmod built into your
kernel. kmod is a REPLACEMENT for kerneld, remember?
Yes, and 'kerneld' is for 2.0, -NOT- 2.2.
| WARNING
|kerneld is obsolete as of Linux kernel 2.1.90, it was
|replaced by the kmod kernel thread and cron entries. Do
|not even think of using kerneld unless you are running a
|2.0 kernel.
See that? It says DO NOT run kerneld on anything but 2.0. NOT. BAD.
Got it?
Now, the logic in /etc/init.d/kerneld -WILL- run it if you build a 2.2
(remember that number?) kernel with 'CONFIG_KMOD' undefined. See, in
that case, /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe will NOT exist, which is how
/etc/init.d/kerneld determines the version of your kernel.
Go check the source. The /proc entry for sys/kernel/modprobe is in
kernel/sysctl.c:
#ifdef CONFIG_KMOD
{KERN_MODPROBE, modprobe, modprobe_path, 256,
0644, NULL, proc_dostring, sysctl_string },
#endif
See the #ifdef? Yep, /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe only exists if KMOD is
defined.
Perhaps you should file a bug on it?
Don't be that fast.
Why not? A bug is a bug. 'man kerneld' is quite clear that kerneld
should -not- be run on a 2.2 kernel. Yet /etc/init.d/kerneld is quite
happy to run it on a 2.2 kernel because it uses an incorrect method for
testing the version of the kernel.
Why is that not a bug?

Re: network/ethernet card configuration problem?
Hi, Thanks to all who answered my call for help! This message here is in response to the one from John Pearson. Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 13:15:56 +0930 From: John Pearson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: network/ethernet card configuration problem? To:debian-user@lists.debian.org The correct way to proceed depends on which version of Debian you are using (slink (2.1), potato (2.2), etc.); which is it? It is slink (2.1) You can check if things are going to work out for you by trying the following commands as root: # lsmod This lists the driver modules currently loaded. If the ne or ne2k-pcidriver is loaded then you should see it listed in the output to this command, like so: ne2k-pci4136 1 It was not loaded! Assuming it isn't loaded, try loading it by hand. If your NIC is a PCI card you should use the ne2k-pci driver, like so: # modprobe ne2k-pci PCI cards shouldn't need any extra parameters. If it's an ISA card you will need to use the ne module, and will need to pass at least the IO port as a parameter, with a command like this: # modprobe ne io=0x300 irq=10 You can skip the IRQ parameter, but if you know what it is then it makes things a little more bullet-proof. If you don't know what IO address the card is using, the Windows Device Manager (under System in Control Panels) will probably tell you. If the card is a bona-fide ISA/PNP card (as opposed to a traditional ISA card) then this will fail after a cold boot, and you will need to set the card up using isapnp before you can use it under Linux. The full name of the card is D-Link DE220 ISA PnP -- is this a bona-fide ISA/PNP adaptor? I tried using the command # modprobe ne io=0x300 irq=03(these are the proper settings) and it didn't complain. However, I infer from your remarks that I will have to use 'isapnp'. I guess that this means I will have to edit (properly!) the /etc/isapnp.conf file. I looked at the website http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools and it looks like I will need a line in the file like: (CONFIGURE EDI0119/236861364 ( ... etc. The code 'EDI0119' identifies the ethernet card -- but how can I find what code to use for my card? Please let me know if there is anything else I have to know about 'isapnp'. The way modules are handled changed a couple of times in older (pre-2.1) Debian releases; you should check if the following files exist: /etc/modules.conf This one wasn't there! /etc/conf.modules Present. /etc/modutils/ (a directory) Present. /etc/modules Present. Get back to us when you've tried this and let us know what Debian release you're using, and you should get some better-targeted help. Looking forward to it! James Polson

i have a client going trough the roof cause she can't send any mail with

that masq's her (same potato), which in turn is behind a really old POS
slakware 4.0, kernel 2.0.33 which masq's everything to the net.
i remember that like 3 months ago (when we installed their network) she had
the same prob, i read around a bit, remember seeing something about eudora
having probs behind masq'ing boxen running linux. but then she stopped
complaining and told us the prob was fixed, so we didn't care. a week ago
she starts calling again, bitchin every five minutes. so the question is: is
there a prob with eudora? or should i look in the linux boxen?
more info: if she dials-up, she can send mail. with outlook express i can
send mail. her box got rebuild like two weeks ago, and since then eudora
craps out ('Connection Refused' error) when sending mail. i can send mail

Debian + Windows98 on the same large disk problem
Hi, I have recently got a new hard disk 40GB, in which I decided to install both Windows98 and Debian, FreeBSD. (I never wanted to install this Win98 stuff on my machine but job matters force...) I repartitioned the hard disk using slink Debian's cfdisk into a first FAT32 partition of 12GB and 3 more partitions (second is 12GB BSD, and the other two, 10 and 5GB Linux). For the cfdisk to work properly with my large disk, I had to specify the disk geometry that FreeBSD's fdisk returned to me. Following that I installed Windows98 on the first partition of 12GB. I checked with the Windows98 fdisk program, and indeed it finds the 4 partitions mentioning that the 3 last ones are non-DOS. The problem is that when I use the Windows explorer to see what is the available space for my C drive (FAT32 partition), I get that available for C are 39GB, i.e. the whole of my hard disk and not just the FAT32 partition. Despite that, it reports the C volume label to be the same name as that reported by the Windows98 fdisk! So, I wonder what is happening? Is it just a bug in the Windows Explorer or the actual Windows will expand further than their allocated 12GB partition when they have no space and delete my Debian and FreeBSD stuff when I install them there? Has anyone installed both Debian and Windows98 on the same large disk and came across anything similar? Cheers Dimitris

The main difference is that I am trying on the eth0 dev, and the docs say to use eth1, so I think I need two network adapters, Am I correct ?

Background mail transfers
I normally work within a window manager environment (mostly KDE) when using Debian Potato and have used KMail to download mail directly from my ISP pop3 accounts. I recently decided to setup fetchmail to poll my pop3 mail servers in the background, download any waiting mail and pass it on to procmail for sorting into appropriate folders and then access these folders using KMail. This works well but I have realised recently that, because this is now happening in the background, if I disconnect from my ISP without thinking I can cut a mail download off in mid-stream. I have half an e-mail to prove it. Can anyone suggest a way to prevent this apart from running Fetchmail manually? Barry Samuels

Additionally I wrote a little perl script that runs when I log in (started by kde) that will get mail if the network connection is up every 10 minutes. diald is a nice solution as you are not controlling connection.

Re: difference between running perl from command line and web
I've been having this difficulty as well, although i'm not convinced it's a pre 5.005 - 5.005 change (i think i've been at 5.005 the entire time).

Enlightenment and X
Hello (Pardon my newbie-ness on this topic) 1) I can get into enlightenment fine; after having executed enlightenment.install. I have some basic KDE stuff installed also. Is that necessary? 2) In enlightenment, the screen looks somewhat unclear; it 'flicker' slightly. How to solve that? This is visible particularly when having some (white-ish) options pane open. I have an ATI Rage Pro 8MB card which should be just fine for X / Enlightenment, right? I mean in terms of performance. 3) Are there any *good* apps that I *need* to have? :) AFAIS, I just *love* eterm. Great stuff! :) Thanks in advance Sven -- MACINTOSH: Most Applications Crash; If Not, The Operating System Hangs

Re: [OFFTOPIC] Eudora mail client behind MASQ'ing debian?

Please - why so many masqerading layers? Who is dialing-up who? Where is
her mail server in relation to the masq boxes?
At 09:44 AM 7/18/00 -0600, you wrote:
i have a client going trough the roof cause she can't send any mail with

that masq's her (same potato), which in turn is behind a really old POS
slakware 4.0, kernel 2.0.33 which masq's everything to the net.
i remember that like 3 months ago (when we installed their network) she had
the same prob, i read around a bit, remember seeing something about eudora
having probs behind masq'ing boxen running linux. but then she stopped
complaining and told us the prob was fixed, so we didn't care. a week ago
she starts calling again, bitchin every five minutes. so the question is: is
there a prob with eudora? or should i look in the linux boxen?
more info: if she dials-up, she can send mail. with outlook express i can
send mail. her box got rebuild like two weeks ago, and since then eudora
craps out ('Connection Refused' error) when sending mail. i can send mail
telnetting to port 25 of her mail server, so the rules are fine (i guess).

Upgrade openssl .deb? or purge old ver and install new?
Hi, Just hoping for a little guidance before I upgrade both ssl and ssh. With a new (Potato-based, linux-2.2.16) firewall in place between my SDSL connection and my internal network, I now want to open a secure telnet connection (port 22) to and from the outside, and to close the regular telnet connection (port 23). To accomplish that, I've downloaded openssh-2.1.1p4 from http://www.openssh.com/. Since that requires openssl-9.9.5a, I also added http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free to my /etc/apt/sources.list so I can apt-get it. Currently, I have openssh-1.2.3-8, openssl-0.9.4-5, apache-ssl, and apache-perl on the firewall -- all installed via apt-get. I've run 3 apt-get simulations: 1.) apt-get --simulate install openssl -- which says it will upgrade openssl and add 1 required library, libssl095a. 2.) apt-get --simulate remove openssl -- which says it will remove apache-perl, apache-ssl and openssl, and install php3, apache-dev and apache-common. 3.) apt-get --simulate remove ssh -- which says it will just remove ssh. The only fly in the ointment (that I can see) is that I accepted the default expiration on the temporary certificate I made for apache-ssl back in April, so it has expired. --- Okay, here's my question(s): Since there is no .deb file (AFAICT) for openssh-2.1.1p4, I'm going to have to apt-get remove (or dpkg --purge) ssh anyway and install the new version from source. Would there be any advantage to going to the extra trouble of removing/purging and re-installing openssl, apache-ssl and apache-perl? Besides, that is, getting the opportunity to create new certificates and keys now that I know a little more about how to do that? Of course, if the openssl upgrade gave me the same opportunity, that would clinch it for me. And one bug-a-boo, I _know_ I have seen a version of the openssl tookit saying it _includes_ the ssh functionalities, but for the life of me I can't re-locate that source. Was I dreaming? Any guidance would be vastly appreciated -- especially if there are better, simpler ways to go about updating the security features on the firewall which, btw, is a 486DX, 64Mb RAM, 514Mb HDD machine running Potato on a 2.2.16 kernel (with vague notions of bumping up to 2.4.0-test5, which is humming along nicely on my P II box, because I _love_ them iptables). Thanks in advance for any help, and for your patience with montefin
