Telnet get this file stash it there would be nice, but I don't think it applies here. :) NOt sure if I understand what you are asking or not, but if you want a tool to download a file using an url then try wget. apt-get install wget

Re: /etc/hosts.deny
* Mario Vukelic [EMAIL PROTECTED] [08Apr01 21:01 +0200]: Now it's getting lame inetd It doesn't matter, anyway, since you do not have to restart anything for changes to your access control files to take effect. They take effect immediately after a change is made. -- Regards, -=[Ty]=-
Re: /etc/hosts.deny
* Robert Voigt [EMAIL PROTECTED] [08Apr01 19:07 +0200]: I put the line ALL: ALL in /etc/hosts.deny and tried to mount a directory on this machine from another one, just to see if it actually denies access to all other hosts. /etc/hosts.allow is empty. But I could still mount and access files. What's wrong here? These access control files only work for those services run from inetd ... nfs uses portmap. I bet you don't have the portmapper wrapped. -- Regards, -=[Ty]=-
Re: /etc/hosts.deny
* Mario Vukelic [EMAIL PROTECTED] [08Apr01 21:49 +0200]: I see. But changes to (types s l o w l y) inetd.conf do require it, don't they? Yes, changes to /etc/inetd.conf do not take effect until inetd is next started, however, changes to /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny take effect immediately (but only for those services run from inetd). -- Regards, -=[Ty]=-
Re: /etc/hosts.deny
* Mario Vukelic [EMAIL PROTECTED] [08Apr01 22:35 +0200]: On the server I have running: portmap, rpc.statd, inetd, [nfsd], [lockd], [rpciod], rpc.mountd On the client there is running (when nfs dirs are mounted): portmap, rpc.statd, [lockd], [rpciod] But a tcpdchk on the server tells me: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 14: portmap: service possibly not wrapped warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 15: mountd: no such process name in /etc/inetd.conf warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 16: lockd: no such process name in /etc/inetd.conf warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 17: statd: no such process name in /etc/inetd.conf Yeah, they aren't. but why? how? should I? This isn't described anywhere I looked. This makes me feel very insecure Questions: Do I have the right stuff running on server and client (I guess so)? What goes in inetd.conf if anything? If not, and you are patient, would you please care to explain it to me? Are the portmap, mountd, statd and lockd in debian built to honor hosts.allow/deny, but still standalone (libwrap or something)? Do you have the RPC services enabled in your /etc/inetd.conf file? If so, it should be working. Make sure that the entries have no errors. -- Regards, -=[Ty]=-
Re: /etc/hosts.deny
* Mario Vukelic [EMAIL PROTECTED] [08Apr01 23:14 +0200]: Well, no. The RPC section was empty and I couldn't figure out what goes there. Even the new nfs howto is silent on this, although it talks a lot about hosts.access/deny. Frankly, I think it's stupid that debian's inetd.conf is nearly empty. IMHO all needed services should be in there and commented out. Here are some examples commented out :-) #:RPC: RPC based services #mountd/1 dgram rpc/udp waitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd #rstatd/1-3 dgram rpc/udp waitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/rpc.rstatd #rusersd/2-3dgram rpc/udp waitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/rpc.rusersd #walld/1dgram rpc/udp waitroot/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/rpc.rwalld I found those examples at http://sluglug.ucsc.edu/pipermail/sluglug/1999-October/001298.html ...it may not be the answer but it may help. :-) -- Regards, -=[Ty]=-
Re: Default Window Manager
* Daniel Freedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] [08Apr01 22:31 -0400]: Anything that runs as root has root level permissions, with the associated ability to do essentially anything to your system. Most people try very hard to absolutely limit the number of programs run as root. X is a _very_ large program, with I'm sure (even consideering its fine pedigree coming out of MIT's Project Athena) a fair amount of bugs, buffer overflows, etc.; not the type of things you would want to have root privileges. You apparently don't know that X actually runs suid root. -- Regards, -=[Ty]=-

Re: dist-upgrade to woody
* Robert A. Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] [03Apr01 12:44 -0500]: Well...woody and potato handle X and its configuration very differently. Woody uses X 4.02 (I think) while potato uses 3.3.6. There are a number of differences, not the least of which is that your X configuration is no longer stored in /etc/X11/XF86Config but is now stored in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. I am running Woody and X -showconfig indicates it is 3.3.6. -- Regards, -=[Ty]=- Tue Apr 3 11:53:40 2001, New Moon in the 5th degree of Taurus Sabian Symbol - The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Re: I/O to ZIP drive temporarily locks up machine
I don't know how to say this properly.. when backing up files from my IDE hard drive to my parallel port ZIP100 drive, the machine occasionally blocks: it's like everything freezes for about half a minute before I can do anything again. This only happens when the ZIP drive is running (not sure if it's R or W or both). This is with kernel 2.2.17, using the imm driver as a module. I've set all the default safe options for the driver, like slow and reliable or whatnot. Is this a kernel bug? IMM driver bug? User bug? Hmmm ... I thought the imm module was for the parallel port 250 and the ppa module is for the 100. You may want to try loading ppa vice imm and see if this helps. -- -=[Ty]=- =oo
Re: Q: Best PPP dial-up console mail app?
I use a combination of mutt, fetchmail and procmail. Mutt for reading and composing, fetchmail for pop retrieval and procmail for filtering. When you compose and send mail in mutt while offline it still goes into your smtp send queue. Just issue the command to send queued mail when you re-connect. That command depends on what you are using for smtp. * Jonathan Gift [EMAIL PROTECTED] [15Oct00 18:18 +0200]: I have a 56k dial up using pon and poff and was wondering which of the console choices would allow me to fetch and dl mail? Also write off-line, then log on and send. Mutt and Pine I have heard about. The ability to filter into assorted folders (like for mailing lists) would be a necessity. -- -=[Ty]=- =oo
