andy,
as noted in the last line, the first virtual device number should
start with zero, eth0:0, so if you use one of the cool scripts above
remember that! ( this is noted in the NET3 HOWTO ) furthermore, while
i'll admit i don't use 'make' to manage my virtual hosts on my web 
server ( yet :P ) it is relatively easy to set up a Makefile as
craig has suggested and that would most certainly be the "elegant" 
way to help you manage your 200+ virtual hosts.

good luck!

mountd exploit info ( from [linux-security] The poisoned NUL byte] )

--- Begin Message ---

Summary: you can exploit a single-byte buffer overrun to gain root privs.


When, half a day after releasing version 2.2beta37 of the Linux nfs server,
I received a message from Larry Doolittle telling me that it was still
vulnerable to the root exploit posted to bugtraq, I was ready to quit
hacking and start as a carpenter...

Tempting as that was, I didn't, and started looking for the bug instead.
It turned out that an ancient version of libc was at fault (libc-5.3.x),
which has a buffer overrun in realpath().

So, to make sure your mountd is safe, upgrade your libc to a recent
version. As far as I can tell, this particular overrun was fixed in 
libc-4.4 (but see below).

The interesting thing about this overrun is that it was by just a single
byte. And yes, it not just crashed the process, it provided a root shell.
It took me a while to figure out, but what it boils down to is this:

At the beginning of the function, realpath copies the argument (1024 bytes)
To a local buffer (sized MAXPATHLEN, i.e. 1024 bytes). Thus, the terminating
0 byte of the string gets scribbled over the next byte, which happens to be
the lowest byte of %ebp, the frame pointer of the calling function. At
function entry, its value was 0xb3ec. After the strcpy, it becomes
0xb300.

During the remainder of realpath(), nothing exciting happens, but when the
function returns, %ebp is restored from stack, which effectively shifts
down the calling function's stack frame by 0xec bytes.

The calling function now does a few things with local data, dereferences
some pointers (by sheer dumb luck these pointers contain random but valid
addresses), and returns, restoring the %esp and %ebp registers from stack.
With the stack having shifted down 0xec bytes, it picks up the return address
from the local buffer containing the exploit code...

As a side note, the buffer overrun could be modified easily to work
on systems using non-execute stacks, because the RPC arguments are
decoded into a static buffer. Making the exploit point the fake return
address at the static buffer instead of the stack easily defeats the
no-exec stack.

Also note that even the most recent libc5 contains another buffer overrun
in realpath. It is not deadly to mountd unless you start it from
a directory whose path name is longer than 40-something bytes. A patch to
libc is appended, and I will release an nfs-server update that checks
for this bug and replaces the faulty realpath function soon.

Cheers
Olaf
--
Concerning the buffer overflow in realpath:

The appended patch illustrates the problem. To trigger the overflow, try

void main(void) /* hullo Dan Popp:-) */
{
charbuffer[1024], result[1024];

memset(buffer, 'A', 1021);
buffer[1021] = '\0';
chdir("/tmp");
realpath(buffer, result);
printf("length = %d\n", strlen(result));
}

Glibc uses a different realpath implementation which does not have
this bug.

process_archive error on package apache_1.1.3-6.deb

1998-02-27 Thread m*
anyone , i have run into an error(?) with the "stable"
apache_1.1.3-6.deb
package.

when i try to install this package with the --no-act flag, no errors are

reported however this seems to be useful only to report dependency
problems.

so i try an install with the -D20 debug flag  and get :

ns1:/tmp# dpkg -i -D20 apache_1.1.3-6.deb
(Reading database ... 17396 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking apache (from apache_1.1.3-6.deb) ...

dpkg: error processing apache_1.1.3-6.deb (--install):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apache_1.1.3-6.deb

is this a problem with my existing installs on my systems ( i have a
feeling this could be part of the issue
considering this apache package installed successfully on some of my
systems and others it
won't) or is it a problem with the package itself? i emailed the listed
package maintainer
regarding this error and was advised he does not maintain the package
any longer.

if this is a package error, i'll take this up with the maintainer
providing i know who it is. if it is not a package problem i would
appreciate a
some insight as to what i may be doing wrong.

a private reply is preferred.

if you configure aliasing support as a module ( ip_alias ),

you are correct: efax does not create any devices nor does mgetty-fax.

those devices are standard.

but it does uses a serial device, say /dev/ttyS1 which Could be 
referred to via symbolic link from /dev/fax.

as is, you can use one of your serial devices, ttyS0 - S3, i.e. :

crw---   1 root dialout4,  64 Sep 29 17:09 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw   1 root dialout4,  65 Sep 29 16:21 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw   1 root dialout4,  66 Apr 30 18:25 /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw   1 root dialout4,  67 Apr 30 18:25 /dev/ttyS3

ttyS0 is the serial device i run mgetty-fax on to answer and process
incoming faxes.

so for ease of use, you might make a symbolic link from /dev/fax
to /dev/ttySX since /dev/fax is the defualt device that efax looks
for.

if the addy is in the cache, 'arp -an' will list the ip addy
and the MAC addy. no nslookup needed.

'tcpdump -e' will list MAC addresses in the dump and you can then
see who the owner of that MAC address is.

Linux has brilliant Windoze support. i'd even go as far to say
it's one of it's most valuable features when speaking of an 
office intranet.

Internet Explorer 4.0 Active Desktop is quickly invading the `Dozer

others.

again, Netscape Navigator is a common tool but there are many others.
just to see, browse http://www.xnet.com/~blatura/linapps.shtml.
there are some powerful and useful desktop managers now and more
exciting utilitites are introduced weekly. selection of an email
package is somewhat dependent upon the the needs and abilities
of the users, IMO.

i would also suggest dropping some more RAM in your box. it's
not required on headless server, that is a server without a
graphial interface, but is sure is a great feeling to be able 
to fire up X Windows on your 486 and browse the net. ( i know
because i have a former Windoze running Debian Linux 486 too! )

take the plunge!

i've seen it and had the same problem. i never got an explanation as
to what the nature of the problem was short of joerg schilling
suggesting i use his cdrecord instead.

my device was an HP4020i. i also know that the same error was
encountered on a Dozer95 box.

i have not been fortunate(?) enough to attempt a burn again with 
either cdwrite or cdrecord.

but i am still interested in doing so!

tcplogd, in the iplogger package, will log connection attempts in spite

look in your /etc/apache/httpd.conf file for the SeverRoot

the 2.2.0f-19 version comes with the script poff, as well as pon.
poff cleanly kills ppp with a SIGTERM.

i have also found that the lock file will be removed, actually by
mgetty in my case, after about 40 seconds.

so upgrade your ppp if necessary and let mgetty do the rest of the
cleanup.

Recursively search through html files?

Dear Debian,

Do you know of a program that will recursively search webpages for a given 
expression, starting at a given URL (or in my case I usually want to 
search local pages, e.g. file://~m/downloadedpages/index.html)?


It should be reasonably easy to script something together with wget, sed 
and grep, but if there are already good solutions out there I might as 
well use one of them!

Kdesud locking up, JMicron card reader not working, USB 3 Controller stops working after resuming, horizontal tearing on fullscreen

2011-10-31 Thread M.
Hello all,

I'm facing some problems with Debian Unstable that are really
annoying. I know how to report bugs, did that several times before,
and that I should ask one question at a time. But in this case, I
decided to first listen to the good folks in this list for input and
feedback (and maybe even solutions!!!), to both report more useful
bugs and see if someone else is facing the same problems that I am, so
the bug report would not be forgotten or simply trashed, as it
happened before. I've tested these problems on two different
computers, one desktop and one laptop.

So here it goes:

1) I use KDE 4.6, the latest version from unstable, and synaptic to
install packages. synaptic needs sudo permissions, and KDE does that
using kdesud. The problem is that sometimes the kdesud process hangs,
and every other call to kdesud gets stalled. I have to go to the
terminal and kill it by hand - after doing that, synaptic and any
other process that calls kdesud works fine. This happens on ALL debian
unstable installations, both desktop and laptop.

2) The laptop has a JMicron card reader that only works if the card is
inserted at boot time.

3) The USB 3 controller on the laptop never worked correctly. It is

USB controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03)
USB controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2
Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06)

The two USB 3 ports never worked correctly: they disconnect or never
connect usb peripherals, giving xhci_hcd errors like


[ 6135.109318] xhci_hcd :05:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep
[ 6135.112271] xhci_hcd :05:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep
[ 6135.115274] xhci_hcd :05:00.0: WARN: short transfer on control ep

Only the e-SATA port that uses a USB 2 controller worked consistently.
The problem only gets worse when the computer is suspended and
resumed. No USB port works after the cycle, connecting and
disconnecting any kind of peripheral, with errors like


[ 6203.513297] xhci_hcd :05:00.0: WARN: transfer error on endpoint
[ 6203.513319] xhci_hcd :05:00.0: WARN: transfer error on endpoint
[ 6203.513926] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, device number 2
[ 6207.579588] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
[ 6207.603530] xhci_hcd :05:00.0: WARN: Stalled endpoint
[ 6207.605496] xhci_hcd :05:00.0: WARN: Stalled endpoint
[ 6207.607532] xhci_hcd :05:00.0: WARN: Stalled endpoint

4) This happens with all video applications on KDE, VLC, mplayer, etc.
When playing in fullscreen, both machines (with Nvidia graphics cards
and the driver from Nvidia), with compositing or not, with opengl
backend or not, vsync enabled or not, any video shows horizontal
tearing.

Any help with these issues, experience, how to solve, or who to
contact to talk about it would be greatly appreciated.

Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list.

Cheers

Kdesud locking up, JMicron card reader not working, USB 3 Controller stops working after resuming, horizontal tearing on fullscreen

2011-11-05 Thread M.
Hello Camaleón, hello list,

I had to search for this post on the interwebs, as I'm not subscribed.
But finally a good soul answered me! Thanks, Camaleón! :-)

Agreed. But this email was for venting frustration too. Will do that
in the future.

The only program that I' aware that's running kdesud is synaptic, so I dunno.

NO dmesg output. Not detected, not mounted, not anything.

I've blacklisted xhci_hcd, and so far the controller hasn't acted up.
But this gonna take longer to test.

The last time I tried to install nouveau, it tried to remove all
nvidia packages, and after that, it didn't work - black screen, no
output, no X, no console. I'll try again, but I reported this to the
kde bug tracking, and they're also trying to figure it out. So far, no
luck.

Sorry, I can't :-(

I had to search this on a weird forum, but at least I found it. Why
you can't CC me?

Any news on KDE 4.8?

2012-04-17 Thread M.
Hi all,

Are there any news on some tentative release date for KDE 4.8? KDE
4.7.4 presently has several serious problems with the NVIDIA driver,
and all I hear upstream is "this is fixed in 4.8"... Is there any way
I can help to speed things up?

Cheers

M.

udev not setting the right permissions for cdrom drive

2011-02-21 Thread M.
Hello all,

I'm having some problems with my cdrom drive. I cannot mount it as a
normal user, as the permissions for it are

brw--- 1 root root 11, 0 Fev 10 08:03 /dev/sr0

and neither kde or gnome can mount it without the right udev file.
udev is not creating the correct file on /lib/udev/rules.d, and even
with the original one the drive did not work. I submitted a bug report
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612759) but the
mantainer said that he doesn't have the time to "hold my hand" on this
one. I can use the drive normally if I set the permissions by hand.
I'm member of the cdrom and plugdev groups. Is anyone else suffering
from the same problem?

Thanks

M.

Can't make a HP Laserjet Professional p1606dn work - printer-state-reasons=hplip.plugin-error

2011-09-07 Thread M.
Hi all,

I'm trying to make a HP Laserjet Professional p1606dn over wired
network work, to no avail. I've installed all the relevant packages
from hplip and cups, and I can find the printer on the right address.
But everytime I try to print, I get the message

printer-state-reasons=hplip.plugin-error

I removed everything and installed back, even purged all files and
installed back, with no luck. Trying to install the hplip from the HP
site stops when it asks for cups-devel, and as there is no cups-devel
package on debian, it hangs there. Installing all cups | dev packages
does not solve the installing problem, so I'm stuck. The full cups log
is below.

Thanks

Problem with permission in /dev/sr0: k3b cannot find CDROM drive

2010-06-24 Thread M.
Hi all,

I'm facing for some time now problems with the permissions of my CDROM
drive. Everytime I start k3b I receive this message:

No optical drive found.
K3b did not find any optical device in your system.
Solution: Make sure HAL daemon is running, it is used by K3b for finding
devices.

I'm in the plugdev, cdrom, video, audio and disk groups, but I still get
this message. Mounting the drive using mount works. The only solution that
I've found for that is chmod 666 /dev/sr0, and that is not convenient, as I
have to do it everytime I reboot.

The permissions are

ls -lah /dev/sr0

brw--- 1 root root 11, 0 Jun 24 03:56 /dev/sr0
and

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov 24  2009 /media/cdrom -> cdrom0

My /etc/fstab says

/dev/sr0   /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0

So I really don't know exactly what's happening here. Brasero or VLC doesn't
work either. Should I file a bug report? If so, against what package? I'm
running Sid AMD64.

Thanks

Ivan

Re: How to use old CPUs (Not Debian Specific)

2005-10-14 Thread m






Having said that though, personally, I would use the PII as the firewall,
backup, file server etc etc. The new fast machine as the family desktop and
ditch the other two.



Using the same machine as a backup file server and a firewall seems a 
little foolhardy to me, especially given that there are spare machines to 
play with.


A fortnight ago my landlady went out into the garage and found that the 
breaker had gone several days before and all the food in her freezer had 
gone, including her prize winning rowanberries - boohoo!  Made me jump up 
and start trying to figure out a method for an alarm light to come on in 
the house whenever garage power was off.  Now that's fairly simple to do 
and doesn't need a computer, but there are a huge number of related things 
that you could do and you could sensibly put an ancient machine at the 
heart of that.  The older the better even, because it will draw less power 
when left on for long periods of time.  My pap used to have a set of 
lights programmed to change in a random way and he kept an ancient box 
running for many years doing little other than that.  Light up, 
gradually dim, switch off, the whole lot.  Classic anti-burglar mechanism 
jazzed up to make it plausible day after day.

Re: How to use old CPUs (Not Debian Specific)

2005-10-17 Thread m

Actually, I've tried using old klunkers to do backups, and discovered
that they can't take large hard disks.  One of mine won't go beyond
about 128 gig, tha other gets stuck somewhere between 2.5G and 80 G.



I have an old clunker that wouldn't take a big HDD so, being utterly 
penniless I with great trepitation flashed the bios.  It's not all that 
hard and the box took an 80G hard drive no problem after that.  Again, 
with apologies to this list, I loaded the box with win98 first so that I 
could use the bios diagnostic tool on the AwardBios (now Phoenix) website. 
I sent them 30 USD, they sent me instructions and some files to put on a 
floppy disk, I booted from the floppy and all was fine and 
straightforward.  (Talk about a controlled environment-they knew my 
hardware and bios inside out and the OS was on the floppy- it jolly well 
ought to be straightforward.)


So if you're having HDD size problems, you know my advice!

Re: Network Bandwidth Monitoring Utility

2005-10-17 Thread m




Check out cacti, it will do SNMP pulls on the host. Both bandwidth and
process. Its not a simple app, but very useful. Also if you have
firewall setup on the box, you should be able to get stats on the
ports/protocol.



Have you ever used very basic snmp?  I recently discovered the snmp 
command line programs (by the mechanism of typing "snmp" then tab twice 
into a terminal window) but I haven't yet been successful in pulling any 
values out of an snmp mib.  The commands correspond exactly to the 
datagrams specified in the snmp rfc though, so it can't be all that 
hard to use them.

I'm slowly developing myself a web-toolbox that I can access from

You could have an applet that scanned documents but you haven't a hope of 
doing a full antivirus with an applet.  The whole "applet inside sandbox 
where it can't hurt mummy" strategy also means that the applet can't read 
arbitrary files or watch process behaviour - and I'd hope so too!  At 
least that's the default security setting.  I've never looked for ways of 
loosening those settings, maybe they exist.  Mommy, remember to lock the 
computer down after you've finished fixing her up!  A java application - 
more scope for that.

Re: Writing technical text

Yes, there's Lyx and there's a commercial wysiwyg latex editor that my 
photonics friends at university used to rave about - can't remember the 
name of it though and it wasn't cheap - about 300 GBP=450 USD by memory.


But these are rather like HTML editors - they don't give me the control I 
crave - and unless they are very good at not messing around my hand 
written code I have no time for them.  Doesn't stop me from trying to 
make a good wysiwyg HTML editor though!


Be prepared to ask lots of questions when using latex, rather than get 
frustrated.  It's like unix - there's a simple way of doing most things 
but sometimes it's non-obvious.  If there is a latex mailing list out 
there join it, and let us know about it too whilst you are at it!


Best Wishes,

Max.

Re: NFS shares over the internet

NFS may be attempting to use UDP - Unreliable Datagram Protocol (IIRC). 


I believe you'll find the acronym means "User Datagram Protocol".



Yes, sure, but since when haven't the backronyms been more apt?

Re: spurious mailman messages

Write a rule to banish furry white things from your inbox.  I should 
imagine that it should stop after about 1152 hours aka 48 days, or 
whatever is the longest holding time of any of the mail servers involved.


Maybe you can get at the mail queue directly and delete them from there if 
you own the mail server, which I imagine you do, but short of doing a 
fairly global grep for sheep I have no idea how to do that.


What fun!  It is or rather was your own mailing list, right?

Re: Writing technical text

Latex (long may it live) does anyone know whether v3 has come out yet and 
if so what's new?  Has e.g. hyperlink support gone from being an extra to 
being in the core?

Re: Writing technical text

2005-10-21 Thread m


Absolutely true. When I started my blog esquipulas dot homeunix dot com, I 
was looking for a blog machine using LaTex. It does not exist, but what a 
chance. LaTex has it all and has had so for years.


I've noticed that Wikipedia uses a funny combination of latex and ?ml as 
its input language.  For a blog maybe that's the way to go.


It shouldn't be hard to write a server side script to compile and display 
latex, probably as pdf.  I'll write one for you if you like.

Re: [skype] X server and skype, that's a problem

2005-10-21 Thread m


Sound is very sensitive to temporal disturbance.  Much more so than video. 
Hey, it's pressure changing over time.  I imagine that almost certainly, 
if you can bump up the priority of the skype processes involved all should 
be fine.  But I don't actually know any more than the theory.


nice is the command for changing process priority levels. "nice -n -100 
skypeProcessId" should raise the priority as high as it will go in user 
mode.  If you change to root you can raise it further but you'd obviously 
have to be careful not to give skype so high a priority that something 
critical doesn't get a chance at the processor.  It might also be some 
other related process that's not getting enough attention.


I'm guessing, please someone correct me if I've got it all wrong.

Regards, Max

What happens if you set the gif to 100% transparent and then speckle it 
with black or gray?  That would work over multiple backgrounds.

Access to multiple terminal windows?

2005-10-23 Thread m


Dear all,

When operating in terminal only mode (no X11, no graphical user interface) 
is there a way of having several active terminal windows?


I seem to remember that something like F4 is meant to permit cycling 
through terminal windows but that doesn't seem to work.  Unless perhaps I 
have to explicitly create a new terminal window and F4 is cycling me 
through all of one terminal windows.  I'm on tty1 and for the time being 
seem to be stuck there!


Thanks in advance,

Max

Thanks all.  Knew it was something like that but was in a rather delicate

Re: Vim question

2005-10-23 Thread m


No idea about vim.  Sorry.  Would be nice to know though!  Isn't emacs 
meant to be the infinitely programmable editor?  Wd be nice to know how to 
program it in any editor.



If you wanted to instead replace



line 1
line 2
line 3

with

/*
line 1
line 2
line 3
*/



Commenting out C - traditional painful problem as the above will break if 
lines 1-3 contain any /* ... */ type comments themselves.  Prefixing each 
line with // is an easy solution but // hasn't always been flavour of the 
month and isn't accepted by all C compilers.


Does your installation have sed?  There are several windows versions out 
there, the first I could find is at http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/


The sed to do the subsititution is:

max$ echo gaga > temp
max$ sed 's:^://:g' temp
//gaga

Should work with the windows version.  Don't have a win box to play with 
at the mo - mine broke yet again.

Re: How to make boot CD to run your curent hard disk installed linux?

2005-10-23 Thread m






Why would you install two operating systems on a machine where you
cannot choose the OS at boot time?



Can you change the default selection from inside windows and then reboot? 
It's just a case of changing a text file so I imagine so.

Re: Problems handling 1 GB RAM

2005-10-28 Thread m


The first thing to do is to test the new memory very thoroughly.  The 
first ram test tool I found on the net is at:


http://www.memtest86.com/

It's GPL'ed - and comes as an iso so you can burn it (from another 
computer), boot from it and if it's anything like the one I use it'll run 
for about an hour or more, the longer the better, and do a pretty thorough 
test.  If it throws up errors, try re-fitting the memory first of all.


Best Wishes, Max
