Re: Virtualhosting SSL sites with Apache 2.0.40-11
AGREED! The way I get around that is to "make" my certificate for just domain.com .. then have all my virtual hosts like mail.domain.com and admin.domain.com or whatever else... all ofcourse only use the domain.com cert file, however, with a cert for domain.com and a hostname of mail.domain.com, the web browser doesnt complain TOO much... :) --On Friday, January 17, 2003 02:52:44 PM -0700 Dax Kelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 17 Jan 2003, Mr. Adam ALLEN wrote: I'm experiencing problems with Apache, doing name based virtual hosting for SSL sites.

Yes, but the way it's worded protects Red Hat from lawsuits if they ever go out of business. By stating that they would absolutly support foo, for bar years, they would be stuck with it, even if they ran out of money and everything, and they would be open to all kinds of lawsuits. damned lawyers :) I've talked with a few Red Hat emps, and they _had_ to drop the length of support down, because it was just getting impossible to try to support 6 different releases, across a few different archs, all while trying to make new releases, etc, etc, etc. Maybe if more people bought RHN subscriptions, or boxed sets, they could afford to bring more people in, and have the man power to support say 7.3 for a while.

The auth_ldap rpm used to ship with earlier Red Hat releases. And it provides only an apache module for ldap based authentication of users to web server content.

Sure, just specify in neat that you want to use 64 bit WEP rather than 128 and enter the key. Curious as to why you'd use 64 instead of 128.

It is not the firewall.
I installed anonftp and xinetd opened port 21.
I changed sshd to listen on port 21, xinetd opened port 21.
Did something change that I need to add to the configuration?

Hello psyche-list,
I have configured a RH 8.0 system as the LAN's DHCP server. For my
notebook computer, I have configured an entry in the server's
configuration to recognize the notebook's Ethernet hardware address
and always assign a particular IP address to it.
When I boot under Win2K Pro, this works just fine. However, when I
boot into RH 8.0 on my notebook, the network does not get fully
configured. The IP address provided by the DHCP server is used, but
there is nothing added to /etc/resolv.conf, so all DNS lookups fail.
I did an "ifdown eth0", ran ethereal in capture mode, and did an "ifup
eth0". I captured two packets, the DHCP client broadcast query and the
response. I'm no DHCP expert, but it looks like the response contains
all the information I would expect. (I have attached the short capture
file to this message.)
The dhclient-eth0.leases file contains the entry:
lease {
interface "eth0";

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option dhcp-lease-time 86400;

option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.254.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.254.255;
option domain-name "off.mydomain.com"; [not the real domain]

rebind 4 2002/12/12 12:24:27;
expire 4 2002/12/12 15:24:27;
}
which also seems to have the right info.
Any ideas on why it is that /etc/resolv.conf is not getting set up
right?
Ron.

RE: Why Telnet? (Was RE: Connection refused - why?)
appearantly you have not read the article that says most security issues/hacks come from the INSIDE :) If I can find the URL again I will forward it out. SSH should be installed by default, if it is not, then you are using an old and decrepid OS (or miroshaft.. and it that case use the FREE ssh client PuTTY).. Solaris 8 can have ssh with very few steps, solaris 9 and 10 come with ssh by default (not that Sun machines are secure out of the box or anything but thats a whole other argument) Tommy --On Friday, December 13, 2002 12:16:23 PM -0500 James Francis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: A secure and segregated network using multiple firewalls, NAT, IDS, multiple VLANS, and only opening-up the ports we need is the primary means to protect the network.

Re: post-installation suggestions for RH 8.0
running up2date the first time is a "part" of the install as far as I'm concerned.. unless you do NFS installs and keep the packages updated on there (can we do that?) the dma thing should be part of the first time setup stuff the i18n should not be modified. if you have an app that is acting funny, then just do $ export LANG=C $ man whatever (for example) --On Friday, December 13, 2002 12:19:33 PM -0500 "Robert P.

Here are a few: 1. Run up2date and apply all relevant patches. 2. If you have an IDE CD-ROM or DVD and DMA is not working, add this line to the /etc/modules.conf file: options ide-cd dma=1 3. Turn off authentication in /etc/ntp.conf or time sync will not work (at least it did not work for me). I know at least one other person that had this problem, but not sure if it is universal. 4. Download and install java, I use Sun 1.4.1 JRE. 5. Download and install the goodies you want from psyche.freshrpms.net. all good ideas, but most of these will end up a bit later in the documentation. this is for the install chapter for my linux migration web page, and what i wanted was quick fixes that new linux admins could apply to rh 8.0 without having a lot of linux background and fixes that would *immediately* affect normal operation of the system. as the chapters progress, i'll cover stuff like DMA, installing software and so on. but i've already added these to the list of stuff to put *somewhere*, thanks. rday -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Tommy McNeely --[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems - IT Ops - Broomfield Campus Support Phone: x50888 / 303-464-4888 -- Fax: 720-566-3168 -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

RESOLVED: Compaq Armada 1700 sound
OK.. well I must say that COMPAQ SUCKS ... sorry, OK .. now back to business.. I finally found a "SoftPaq" to get to my BIOS settings in a language I could understand( Japanese is easy to find... English is a little harder). I had to install vmware (on a faster machine) so that I could run their crappy ass DOS based app... I could have probably used wine or dosemu, but I wanted vmware for something else anyhow :).. I found out I have an ESS 1869 sound card... and although the BIOS claims its PnP, it does not show up to PNPDUMP. Once I knew what specific soundcard I had, I had a trip over to http://www.google.com/linux and found this nice little link to the "sound-list" :) http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/sound-list/msg01966.html After installing sndconfig from the install media, I was able to "maunally" configure my soundcard and get it to work with the OSS driver for ess1868, I am working on alsa still, I cant make it detect the card, it says that io/irq/etc are not valid module options (but thats for another list ;) ) Thanks, Tommy McNeely --On Sunday, December 15, 2002 12:49:21 PM -0700 Tommy McNeely <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: er... um...

I disabled kudzu at startup, and only run it when I know I've changed something.

I can't for the life of me figure out what's actually calling updfstab, or even, to be honest, given what it gets up to, *why* you'd call it (scribbling links in /dev, deleting lines in fstab). If it's this, look for a 'kudzu' option for your dvd mount in /etc/fstab. Then remove it. If anyone knows why updfstab might actually be useful, I'd be interested to hear!

Re: sendmail config's
It should be a symlink that is changed by the "switchmail" app... so incase you are using postfix then it could be /etc/aliases -> /etc/postfix/aliases and if you are using sendmail, it could be /etc/aliase -> /etc/mail/aliases right?

Re: pkgadd, pkginfo for Linux
I have heard the opposite... It is possible to run linux binaries on Solaris x86 using something called "lxrun" .. not sure if it works, never tried it... http://www.sunfreeware.com have fun :) Tommy --On Monday, January 13, 2003 05:15:40 PM -0500 Derek Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Mon, Jan 13, 2003 at 10:14:58PM +0100, Abdelkader DALI wrote: I'd like to install a software on my redhat 8 system which has been designed for SunOs. It requires pkgadd, pkginfo products. Do these products exist for Linux ? I have heard somewhere or other that it is possible to run solaris x86 binaries on Linux. Not sure by what mechanism this is possible... But if you've got it working sufficiently that you think installing Solaris packages on a Linux machine is a good idea, then you should be able to copy the package management binaries from your Solaris box and just run them. You give no indication of what it is that you're trying to do, but it's very possible that there are free software alternatives that already run on Linux natively. If so, this is probably a much better solution... - -- Derek D.
