Linking two objects into new object.
Title: Linking two objects into new object. Hi list. I'm trying to combine an object with another (shared) object into a new shared object. I'm trying to use ld -o new_shared_object.so object_name.o -l shared_object -shared but the result is new shared object linked on runtime with the old one. How would you solve this problem ?

Moving /boot to diferent partition
Hello I am currently currentlly running /boot from its own parition. I wish to make some changes in the partition setuo on my machine which requires moving it to the root partition and later back to a new seperate partition. I am running a dual system win2k/linux(debian) The current partition setup (relevant ones): hda1: fat32 hda2: boot hda5: fat32 hda9: root I wan't to unite hda1 and hda5 into one partition which requires moving hda2 out of the way and later recreating it after the united partition. I am using lilo as the boot manager, installed on hda2 at the moment, not the MBR (I think at list, when I change the active partition to win2k it boots correctly). How do I do this?

Installing Redhat 7 (or Redhat 6.2, or Madrake, or Debian, or anything older than one month), without installing all the updates is the computer-security equivalent of suicide. A computer we installed on @home (an American network) with an updated Redhat 7 gets several crack attempts per day (!) to the portmapper, printer port, etc., that were crackable in Redhat 6.2 (and if I remember correctly, some of them were also crackable in an unupdated Redhat 7). So when you get a relatively old distribution (say, over one month), make sure the same person also gives you all the current updates; downloading it all yourself from the Internet can be a real pain (Redhat 7 security updates now are over 100MB, although certainly some are much more important than others), and connecting to the Internet without doing these updates is as wise as going to a Linux convention wearing an "I Love Microsoft" T-shirt :) Hopefully the next version of Redhat will have much fewer services running by default. Most people who got cracked with the portmapper or lprng holes never intended to use these services, much less export them to the entire Internet (the first is needed for exporting NFS file systems, and the second for letting other people print on your printer).

Re: RedHat 7 distribution cds
My last posting reminds me of my 3 rules for paranoid operation of a connected Linux machine: 1. USE IPCHAINS (or ipfilter, or whatever firewall you prefer) to only let in and out the services you really intend to run and only to the machines you intend to give them to (or take them from). On an home machine (or another machine not intended as a general-purpose login server) these rules can be very strict (only allow specific packets: e.g., DNS replies from a specific name server, ICQ packets to/from the specific mirabilis network, etc.). This rule is optional (but recommended) - but if you don't use it make sure you pay extra attention to the next one: but just in case something breaks with rule 1., 2. RUN ONLY THE SERVICES YOU REALLY WANT. Do you know what a portmapper does? No? Good - don't run it then. Do you expect people from Finland to send files to your printer? Do you even have a printer? No? Then don't run the printer daemon. Does anybody ever telnet _into_ your machine? No? Then don't run telnetd! If you need to allow telnet but only from a specific host, then see hosts_access(5) (you can also use a firewall rule, but we're in paragraph 2. - assuming the rules of paragraph 1. broke) also, 3. UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE. Even if the above lines of defense do work properly, sometimes you _do_ want to provide services: you may want to put up an FTP server, SSH server, or whatever. Even running Internet-connected _clients_ like Netscape or Licq actually is equivalent to running a service because these clients take instructions from the Internet and do something (potentially something dangerous or erroneous) with them. So make sure you update your software frequently so no known security hole remains in it. All Linux distributors have mailing lists of security announcements and FTP sites from which you can get the updated packages. General mailing list of computer-security announcements and exploits also exist (the best one is "bugtraq", in my opinion). There are other rules, like "Never run anything that sends shell-account passwords cleartext" (telnet is obviously a faux-pas, but so are non-anonymous FTP and Pop3 - unless these accounts are shell-less), but I'll leave some for another time ;) -- Nadav Har'El| Wednesday, Mar 7 2001, 12 Adar 5761 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |If you're looking for a helping hand, http://nadav.harel.org.il |look first at the end of your arm. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Some updates for kernel 2.4 and VIA chipset based boards
Hi All, I just wanted to share with your some news and answering some private emails I got regards those issues.. * VIA chipset support in kernel 2.4.x: Starting with kernel 2.4.2ac13 - the chipset IDE's interface are both supported (ATA 66 and ATA 100), so you can compile now kernel and boot from ATA-100 controller. Just make sure to compile a kernel on ATA-33 first. * DMA support for your hard disks and DVD-ROM's - finally - it's back, so those who wants to watch DVD movies with programs like xine can enable the DMA now on your hard disks with a simple command like: /sbin/hdparm -d 1 -c 1 Don't forget to save it in a place like rc.local * TV Tuner cards: The drivers for all those cards who are based on BT848/858/878/888 chipsets (most of the FlyVideo cards here in Israel comes with those chip). This new driver, along with XFree 4.0.2 will give you a real full-screen and not full window with a small picture in the middle. BTW - the Linux driver also fixes some garbage that the windows driver shows when you drag your TV window on applications like Netscape in Windows. * Sound Blaster Live: As some of you know, the driver for the Sound Blaster live comes without Bass/Treble support. To enable Bass/Treble support. In order to enable it, you should add a line: #define TONE_CONTROL in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/emu10k1/main.c This should give you bass and treble. If you're using ALSA - then you might want to upgrade to there 0.9.0 beta 1 version.

Now that there is a production release of the gcc-2.96 and glibc-2.2, I would stick with those on an RH 7 system before I would try a 7.1 and hope. For a while there, I was running with the "other" C compiler (egcs) that came with RH7, but programs that used glibc failed in strange ways with the included glibc. BTW in our mixed version environment open-ssh did not work with the ssh-1.26 we are running on some machines and I went back to ssh-1.26. SSH-KEYGEN was one of the things that failed until I upgraded glibc. Financialy Red Hat is in the toilet, and they are producing releases faster than they have ever done before. (worse than the 6-6.1-6.2 fiasco). Which IMHO should have been 6.0 beta 1, 6.0 beta 2 and 6.0 prod. One of the programers who has since left for our New York office, Sasha Belikoff, was offically part of the beta for 6.0, but I was the one who found the bugs. He just got the glory (and the free copy). :-) It's not all RH's fault. They are not to blame for the unreliable NFS in the late 2.2 kernels that persisted up to the production release of 2.4 > So when you get a relatively old distribution (say, over one month), make > sure the same person also gives you all the current updates; downloading it > all yourself from the Internet can be a real pain (Redhat 7 security updates > now are over 100MB, although certainly some are much more important than > others), and connecting to the Internet without doing these updates is as > wise as going to a Linux convention wearing an "I Love Microsoft" T-shirt :) That's what wget is for.

I've never had any luck using xcdroast to write cds. I use cd record, directly. It may also be the blanks too. The CD recoder at work (an old 7100i) would only write on MITSUI blanks and then with a 1 in 10 failure rate.

That way, even if the regular > password is grabbed, it'll be useless to get a shell. This is a great idea. When you create an account for someone, rather than giving them a random password, ask them for _their_ public key (ask them for their ~/.ssh/identity.pub, or the ssh2 equivalent, and if they don't have that yet they should run ssh-keygen [-d]). While I've been using ssh with RSA keys for a long time, last week was the first time that it dawned on me that I can actually create an account without a password, and log into it only using an RSA key. So far so good. The only downside to this method is that users that are used to move between different terminals and logging in will need to start carrying their private keys on diskettes with them, or download them (encrypted, of course) from the net all the time. Alternatively, the user can log in from one terminal to add the public key he uses in another terminal. This is a bit of a hassle. P.S. obviously RSA keys have their own share of security problems. If you allow logins using the key of a less-secure account into a more-secure account, this essentially means that anybody breaking into your less-secure account will automatically be able to break into your more-secure account which is Bad. So RSA keys aren't the security silver bullet, but they can sure come in handy. -- Nadav Har'El| Wednesday, Mar 7 2001, 13 Adar 5761 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Linux: Because rebooting is for adding http://nadav.harel.org.il |new hardware. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Basically you want to backup the relevant fs (perhaps tar.gz them), make your changes and put them back again. However you have to mess here with Linux fs and with Win fs. Hoefully the MS fs can be tar.gz as the Linux one. If that is the case then I would continue with Hard Disk Upgrade Mini-HOWTO. Another note is to look for parted. But I do not know how stable it is.

Hmmm. >From your hda numbering, I gather that bootable Win2k sits on primary partition 1 as C:, /boot sits on primary hda2, first logical hda5 is win data D: and of course root sits on hda9. Once you merge hda1 and hda5, you have a choice of returning /boot to a primary (now hda2) or using a logical, which is what I am going to do below. To make this as painless as possible, borrow the 2 diskette version of Partiton Magic V6 and do this: 1. Delete hda2 (There is no need to save it; but you can if you have something special in it.) 2. Merge hda5 to hda1 (and may the Lord have mercy on your win 2k registry!) I think that with Partition Magic V6, you can do it in one operation. 3. You may need to fiddle the resulting partition sizes to gain a one track partition ant the begining of your extended partition. It should be a revived hda5 for your new boot. If you don't put it there, all your fstab mount points will be wrong, and you will need to edit them manually (I've been there!) Make sure that you format your little boot partition as ext2. (Partition Magic will do it for you.) 4.Use your installation diskette to boot your existing system - well I don't know how it goes with Debian, but it's no problem with SuSE. 5. Edit fstab to mount /boot on hda5, then mount /boot 6. Again, this is installation dependent: Somewhere you should have a utility to select a kernel and copy all the relevant stuff to /boot. (Again, with SuSE, it's a breeze.) 7. Edit lilo.conf (or use some friendly utility) to reflect the new location of /boot, and, yes, to install the boot record in the MBR (unless you are using some other boot manager.) Make sure lilo.conf still has your Win2k partiton as a boot option. 8. Run lilo 9. Prepare an emergency boot diskette, by repeating steps 7-8, to target the diskette instead of /boot. (Make sure that your lilo.conf is restored to /boot!) 10. Hold your breath and take a three fingered salute ... You biggest potential problem will not be Linux. If you had any Win stuff installed on D: you will have registry woes. I suggest that you uninstall any Win stuff on D: before you do this, and reinstall it later, on your enlarged C: Feigin Micha wrote: > Hello > > I am currently currentlly running /boot from its own parition.
