Re: Installation problems RH 8.0
Hi all, I kept having problems installing my new RH 8 software. It seems that every time I would get to the part where X starts, the installation would BOMB OUT! Sometimes the process would get as far as the first screen which allows you to choose your language but then it would bomb out there. I tried all the settings (i.e. to stop it from polling video, etc.) but to no avail. I tried starting in text mode and "no go" there either. I checked the info that came with my motherboard and found that when you use the integrated (on-board) video, the computer allocates up to 32 megabytes of ram to video. I ran a hardware test on my computer and I found the problemI had some bad memory in my machine! I replaced the defective memory and the install progressed happily to its conclusion. Hopefully this may help others who are attempting installs and are just not getting anywhere. Check your hardware (especially memory, if you are using on-board video and it uses some of your computer's memory for video ram.)

Tripwire is no more difficult to setup and configure after initial install or a year later. It simply establishes a base line database and then checks for changes from that point on. As you say, if the system is clean when the base line database is created then all is fine.

You have been warned! Create a generic user with a shell of /bin/false. call it "total" Create two groups. Call them "processor" and "originator" Create two directories. Give ownership of one directory to total:originators and the other to total:processors. Set pemissions on the directories to 0770 Create the user accounts putting Processors in the processor group and Originators in the originator group. Put youself in both groups Make each directory a share using the "force group = " option. Probably a good idea to set: create mask = 0775 force create mode = 0664 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 0775 Now only members of the appropiate group can access the share and all created files and sub directories will be accessible to the appropiate group.

Jeff, Mike, and all, I would like to apologize for sending an older version of my twhelp.sh script than intended. Both Mike and Jeff have offered good alternative fixes for the version I sent.

I am in the process of working on a newer version that should improve performance, and will post it to the list when completed. I will also make note that if you run this script on Solaris you will need to change line 37 to read: correct_type="ascii" as Solaris evaluates eval file $1 | awk '{ print $2 }' to all lower case output.

RE: Messenger Popups
Sorry, Patrick, I forgot to clarify the messenger I am referring to is a windows service, not instant messenger service. Windows messenger is installed in all computers and is in no way related to the msn messenger, aim, gaim, yahoo, etc. Spammers have found that they can probe windows computers for ports and if they have messenger running, they send what appears to be a dialog box, with only one button "ok" to close it. It does not record from where the message originates or even give you a click to access the advertised website. This messenger works even when MSN messenger is uninstalled. Unfortunately this is one of those occasions where it gets complicated to discuss because Microsoft created names so many things the same. The service is probably most often used by network admins who send messages to all computers that they are taking down the server or a power failure triggers the ups which, after a while, sends notice that the power is low and it needs to power down the server. Some Anti-virus programs use it to alert users that it discovered a virus. Its just a rough dialog box.

RE: I am ready to throw my mouse out the window!
Red Hat 8 automagically adds a USB mouse to your X configuration in case it was not plugged in during install (you used a PS/2 mouse during install or something). If you don't use it you can safely remove it.

Re: Messenger Popups
Buck, In fact this has nothing to do with MSN Messenger, but instead with a service on Win 2000 and (I assume) XP called messenger. If you aren't using the service you can disable it or block it with a firewall.

Well-supported microATX motherboard?
I need to set up another computer lab and I've decided to go with small cases, which necessitate microATX motherboards. I'd still like some CPU grunt (2.6GHz P4 or Athlon equivalent) so the little VIA boards are pretty much out of the question. Unfortunately boards this size are all heavily integrated and the driver situation can be dire. Does anyone have any recommendations for motherboards that are well supported? I've used the Asus P4BGL-VM board, but it has onboard i845 graphics which isn't well supported in 8.0. Are there any alternatives that work?

Check w/ your cable provider. A lot of cable providers do not allow hosting of any services on your connection, with the exception of maybe a game server. Some even block service ports, such as port 80 tcp and 25tcp from ever getting to your machine. Other than that, you have to deal with DHCP, and trying to maintain a way to keep your domain names pointed to your possibly changing IP address.

This is probably a good sign that your firewall rules are way too loose. You do have a firewall don't you?

I assume you are connected via DSL/Cable directly into your machine with no type of firewall. If that is the case, the popups ARE annoying, but you should also consider other 'quiet' things that someone might be doing to your machine in the background.

OR: You can turn off the messenger service. Start->Run-> Type services.msc-> select messenger then disable it, and stop the service. We have this problem on our computer on campus.

Help request: Red Hat Linux 8.0 + Postfix + Cyrus + saslauthd
Hello everyone, I have been searching high and low and have yet to figure out what I am doing wrong. I would like to get my Red Hat Linux 8.0 server working with Postfix + Cyrus + saslauthd (and maybe TLS, too). Before I get too far, I should mention that I my server is using NIS for authentication and aliases, so it doesn't use the local passwd, shadow, or aliases files (or at least there isn't anything useful in the local files). This works fine with postfix and I have been using it with no problem on this server and on another. Here's what's on my server at the moment: Red Hat Linux v8.0 full install w/ all patches & updates including: postfix-1.1.11-5 cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.10-1 cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.10-1 cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.10-1 cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.10-1 cyrus-sasl-2.1.10-1 Relevant services running: postfix saslauthd Postfix configuration (main.cf): queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix program_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix myhostname = support.skycomputers.com mydomain = skycomputers.com myorigin = $myhostname inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain relayhost = sky.skycomputers.com default_transport = smtp local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps unix:passwd.byname alias_maps = nis:mail.aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/acl_header body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/acl_body relay_domains = $mydestination, /etc/postfix/relay-domains smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_sender_access regexp:/etc/postfix/acl_sender, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_non_fqdn_recipient, check_relay_domains disable_vrfy_command = yes mynetworks = 10.0.0.0/24 allow_untrusted_routing = no smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name - Authorized Users ONLY! smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = nis:passwd.byname smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2 debug_peer_level = 2 debugger_command = PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix setgid_group = postdrop manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.11/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.11/README_FILES maximal_queue_lifetime = 4d message_size_limit = 512 delay_warning_time = 6 Postfix configuration (master.cf): #=== # service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args # (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (50) #=== #smtp inetn - y - - smtpd smtpinetn - y - - smtpd -v smtps inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes #submission inetn - n - - smtpd # -o smtpd_enforce_tls=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes #628 inet n - n - - qmqpd pickup fifon - y 60 1 pickup cleanup unixn - y - 0 cleanup #qmgr fifo n - n 300 1 qmgr qmgrfifon - y 300 1 nqmgr #tlsmgr fifo - - n 300 1 tlsmgr rewrite unix- - y - - trivial-rewrite bounce unix- - y - 0 bounce defer unix- - y - 0 bounce flush unixn - y 1000? 0 flush smtpunix- - y - - smtp showq unixn - y - - showq error unix- - y - - error local unix - n n - - local virtual unix- n y - - virtual lmtpunix- - y - - lmtp # # Interfaces to non-Postfix software.

Shouldn't you apply the same rules for acceptable network use to yourself that you apply to your users? If they can't look at porn; you can't look at porn. (Thanks to net-nanny.) You can turn off the home share by disabling it via smbpasswd -d -d This option specifies that the username following should be disabled in the local smbpasswd file. This is done by writing a 'D' flag intothe account control space in the smbpasswd file. Once this is done all attempts to authenticate via SMB using this username will fail. > --Luke > --Computer Science Sysadmin, MSU Bozeman > --admin(AT)cs.montana.edu 994-3931 > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > On Behalf Of Buck > Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 10:57 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: adduser -M > > What I have is an office of two groups of users, Processors and > Originators.

wow... anyone who has their windows machine directly on the internet without any sort of firewall deserves to get these ads ... and it should say you are really not very smart for doing this.. dont you know how insecure it is to run NetBIOS over TCP on an internet connected machine. Tommy Buck wrote: Sorry, Patrick, I forgot to clarify the messenger I am referring to is a windows service, not instant messenger service. Windows messenger is installed in all computers and is in no way related to the msn messenger, aim, gaim, yahoo, etc. Spammers have found that they can probe windows computers for ports and if they have messenger running, they send what appears to be a dialog box, with only one button "ok" to close it. It does not record from where the message originates or even give you a click to access the advertised website. This messenger works even when MSN messenger is uninstalled. Unfortunately this is one of those occasions where it gets complicated to discuss because Microsoft created names so many things the same. The service is probably most often used by network admins who send messages to all computers that they are taking down the server or a power failure triggers the ups which, after a while, sends notice that the power is low and it needs to power down the server. Some Anti-virus programs use it to alert users that it discovered a virus. Its just a rough dialog box.

The article is not about preventing the spread of viruses (unless you consider Microsoft Corporation a virus). Yes, and why not. They are simply complaining about proprietary formats. They are attempting to 'spit into the wind' by refusing M$ documents and calling them 'secret' (in a somewhat vain attempt at forcing a 'cloak and dagger' motif on them). The fact that the compatability of word versionss changes yeary is what I personaly can't stand. And if the 'virus' being spread is a Word Macro virus, then converting it to HTML would (I think) effectively render it harmless since the browser won't invoke the same macros. Don't quote me on that one; I'm no expert. Html is a document formatting 'language'. Unless it contains ActiveXScript or JavaScript it should be harmless. I also doubt that Bill Gates would laugh at a widespread effort to refuse his company's formats, even if it was for a 'stupid' reason. I doubt he even cares, unless millions of people stop using word it won't make much of a difference to him. Besides M$ could drop off the planet tommorrow and he would still have enough money to buy his own country for his family to live in for generations without want for anything. I would agree the idea of encouraging people to send plain text messages or HTML messages. It is certainly more portable that Word. Here, here! Go for it. Microsoft, however, is like spam: you can't ever get rid of it completely but you can filter it out at your mail server. :-) I have given up trying to get people to send RTF,CSV{SpreadSheet/DB} or HTML because most people are just too stupid to figure out how to do it. If the document isn't usable with AbiWord,Gnumeric or OpenOffice, I just ignore the message, or reply that I don't use M$ ..., so you will need to provide me with the information in ... format.

RE: adduser -M
Actually, I don't use net-nanny, but rather enable content advisor on Internet Explorer. And, no, I work my computer a little differently. I have Norton Internet Security and block all the spy ware, porn and spam sites by the firewall or content advisor. Back to the question at hand. I am not sure I understand your answer. If I disable the smbpasswd using -d, does the user still have access to the shared folder they are authorized to use? I could be wrong as I am new, but it looks to me that the -d will prevent them from accessing the shared folder on the server. Just for clarification: The server is expected to be a file server, possibly a printer server and it will have a minimum number of tools on it for me to do a few things I need to do when I am at the site. The users don't need to have access to the server from the keyboard, but they do need to access the shared folders on it. It will be replacing a Windows 2000 Pro computer that has nothing installed but the operating system, MSN Messenger, Internet Explorer and a printer. Two groups have access to the computer right now: The Processors and the Originators. The originators who have computers have their "My Documents" folder on the server so their letters etc can be backed up. The processors share two database programs on the server and also have their My Documents stored on the drive. The originators do not have access to the database at this time, but in the near future, they will be required to enter their own accounts. When that happens, there will be more than ten users on the server so 2kPro will no longer handle the load. I am hoping to learn enough about Linux before then not to have to buy a Micro$oft $erver product. If I can get a Linux server to replace the current server service, I'll add other features as I learn them later.

""; echo" subject = " . $subject . ""; echo" msg = " . $message . ""; echo" reply = " . $reply . ""; $q1 = mail($to, $subject, $message, $reply); echo" return val = " . $q1 . ""; === Pretty simple eh... The problem that I have is that the mail doesn't appear to get sent. When I look in the /var/spool/clientmqueue directory, I see a great deal of what look to be error msgs They appear to be telling me that the mail couldn't be delivered, but I can't tell why I was able to successfully send a test msg via Sendmail from the command line by telnet. So I know the Sendmail engine/daemon seems to be performing... The PHP.ini file appears to be setup correctly, with the sendmail_path pointing to sendamil. Any ideas as to what I need to do, or should be checking Any pointers/assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I often need to accept formatted documents and SpreadSheet/DB files. I would rather have them sent as an attachment then have to parse and reformat data from a text message. Since I use a linux workstation at work and at home, I don't have notepad, I prefer Nedit. Using Mozilla is the best of both worlds because if I get HTML formatted mail I can read it, as long as it is not white on white {but thats just silly}.

RE: Quota problems
Your quota settings are different then enabling quota for the account. To have user quota's you have to have quota's enabled on the volume with the command quotaon. Then you can edit the quota for a particular user with the command edquota. If you wish to apply a quota from one account to another account, you do it with edquota like such: It is not an entry in your fstab entry. The command is: edquota -p sourcequotausername user1 user2 user3 user4 use xargs to do it cat usernamelist.txt | xargs edquota -p sourcequotausername Read what the -p switch does, do man edquota. It will then apply the quota of sourcequotausername to all the usernames listed in the usernamelist.txt file. > --Luke > --Computer Science Sysadmin, MSU Bozeman > --admin(AT)cs.montana.edu 994-3931 > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > On Behalf Of glarm > Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:47 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Quota problems > > Hello, > I am trying to set up quota on RedHat 8.0 for my account then replicate it > to the other 1500 accounts.

That's not too good. I am not sure but I think that XP Home also has some half decent firewall capabilities. I would disable access to all of these ports except for machines that need to share files with or remotely administer that machine. If you install a firewall that is compatable with UPnP it can be used to open ports on your firewall for UPnP compatable games and software. I personaly disabled UPnP support on my firewall and the service in XP {for when I need to run it}. I also have Norton Internet Security installed, call me paranoid, but I have yet to get a popup on my machine. The only port a have forwarded through my firewall is TCP/22 so that I can ssh into my machine from work, further more I have firewall rules that "drop" packets rather than "reject" packets so there is no feedback that the port is even being listened on. I firmly belive in layered security. At work each server has multiple layers of security in addition to some border security and intrusion detection system. The problem I run into is that being an ISP many things have to be left open to the public in order for the internet to be able to access some required services. This is a sample scan from my workstation to one of our servers. (The 1146 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 22/tcp openssh 80/tcp openhttp Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1 second From a machine that is not specificly allowed to see either of these ports, no open ports are seen. Most machines have anti-spoofing rules setup as well as TCPwrapper ACL's in addition to per service configuration Access Control Lists at the application level. All applications are kept up to date and no service that is not required is even installed. Another trick you can use is to remove utuilities and applications that would allow a compromised server to be used to find other servers on your network or sniff traffic. That includes programming languages,compilers and especialy (x)inetd. Run server applications stand alone chrooted when possible. Use remote syslogging, so that if someone breaks in they can't cover there tracks by deleting log files. Securing a single machine can take a while, but is well worth the effort. The harder it is for someone to discover your machine, and break into it the less likely they will try. It is more likely they will look for an easier target. Finally M$ started to catch on with Win2K Pro/Advanced and included some less retarded firewall infrastructure. Maybe they will allow port ranges to be used soon. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

It is obvious from the replies that I am getting that the Linux crowd is not familiar with the problem. This isn't a put-down, just the bliss of not having to experience the problem. A new form of spam has emerged through a service automatically installed and enabled on Microsoft Windows products that allow spammers to directly attack prospects by popping up dialog-box ads on their screen. As you will see from the sites I listed below, it gets through anything! No matter what you are doing on your computer, the ad pops up and stops your work until you click OK to close the window. The statement about the Net Send command is close. Only this is spam generated from software designed to deliver spam to millions of computer users.

Many email readers preview the email and at that time open all the attachments for proper display. If everything is in a zip file then there is nothing that will get automatically opened and executed. That makes abominations like Outlook safer. The bozoid user has to actually open the zip file and then manually execute before there is a danger from a virus. There's no danger during reading mail when a next message that used to contain a virus, something not .zip encapsulated, is previewed after it is massaged so that the html does not translate. That is what I referred to at the end. You can easily 'destroy' mime encapsulation. (Personally I prefer that method as it strongly encourages zip attachments rather than inline anything. It is "theoretically possible" to take the elements of a mimed message and repackage them into a zip, remime the message and place it in a mailbox. It might be worth someone's effort to do this.) {^_^} <- An old curmudgeonette who's heard too many tails of email woe for her tastes. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

I suggest you run whatever res you like and instead fiddle with the "xset" command once X11 is running. See "man xset" for info; you want the "m" argument to control the mouse acceleration. I have this: xset m 3 4 in my X11 startup, which an acceleration of 3 and a threshold of 4. That means that if you move the mouse more than 4 pixles (the threshold) quickly, the motion scale will be multiplied by 3 (the acceleration). So you can do fine positioning with small motions and big movements with larger motions. Adjust to suit your preference.
