Hello,
Are there any plans to make inetd's "connection refused" (or at least
connection closed) behaviour in case of too much simultaneos connections on a
certain port , IP based ?
It's easy to make an inetd service unusable on Redhat Linux, by simple
flooding the port with connections.

Hi,
recently I came across the hackpcweek.com issue,
and the did not apply the crond exploit fix, since they
"only install shipping software", and were not willing to install
21 different fixes ( from the redhat errata).
But they installed Service Pack5 on NT, since it was one single file to inst

Hi,
I just tried to upgrade my box from RH6.0 to
6.1,
I have the following partitions:
hda1 fat32
hda2 linux (contained RH 6.0)
hda3 linux swap
hda4 linux
note that hda4 was unformatted (I did not run
mke2fs on this partition)
when the installer tries to autodetect the
partitions,

Hello,
does anyone know if the VFAT bug is present in the shipped kernel 2.2.5 of
RH6.0 ?
for example mounting a DOS ZIP drive using vfat,
and then making a subdir and then doing
cp -a * subdir
results in an infinite loop which copies all files to subdir
then creates subdir/subdir , makes another
As usual Netscape crashes ( = comprete freeze) A LOT even more on RH6.1 than
RH6.0.
At least on RH 6.0 I was able to to a
killall -9 netscape-communicator
now top shows a
"ld-linux.so.2" hanging process using 99% of the CPU
while with : ps auxw| grep netscape
I get:

Hi folks,
while upgrading a RH6.0 box to 6.1 , I saw the up2date program.
But I was unable to make this app work.
There is no documentation present in the rpm.
Any place to find some docs about this ?
The default update server is set to priority.redhat.com,
that means only registered users are al

I think you are right, as "mainboard" I refer to mainboard hardware+BIOS,
this is what the OS sees.
Perhaps a BIOS upgrade might cure the SMP problem on

Hi folks,
yesterday I installed Redhat 6.1 (2.2.13 kernel redhat's one) on a Dual Pentium
box with HX chipset (GIgabyte mainboard), with on board AHA UW SCSI controller.
The box has a Gigabit NIC 3COM, (acenic kernel module).
I plan to use this box as NFS file server but the box crashes sometime
Hi,
does anyone know if there is an updated ISO image of RH 6.1 available ?
I think many of us have the same problem:
for already running boxes it's ok to install the bugfixes, but when installing
new ones, it's a big waste of time to install the ton of bugfixes everytime.
Is there an updated
