Well, it's possible that it happened when she was online, and she only
noticed next time she dialed up...
Even so, the logs disappearin
Well, if the person who got it also killed syslogd (which of course they
would), she wouldn't've noticed until it dialed again.

Hi!
I'm kind of new to the list, and have been lurking, but it's time to get
out and say hi! Security is one of the most intriguing aspects of the
internet to me, but I like to keep it to the hobby level so I can still
enjoy it (read that: I haven't learned much about encryption. heh.)
Anyhow, I

You won't catch added files with rpm -Va -- they're just not in the

Have you tried getting the source code to ncurses and compiling it for each

Of course, the cracker could always have replaced rpm..

Yup. The intruder could have done any number of things, which is why I
suggested reinstalling. The other stuff I suggested was just to try to
find out how it was done, so it could be prevented in the future. Nothing

We did have Samba running and it was working through NT, but not Win95.
We're using Red Hat Linux 6.0.
Now, it seems we can't see either of our Linux servers through Network
Neighborhood.
What can I check to see what's wrong?

Hello,
I was wondering if Linux has support drivers for DVD CD-ROM. I have the DVD-ROM,
but cannot use it for anything else other than data CDs and music CDs.
If there is no support for DVD on Linux, I might as well swap it with another
machine. I haven't seen anything during the kernel compiles

First thing, before you assume something is wrong -- try doing a "Find" on
that computer. I've found that Windows 95 (and 98) do weird things and
don't show up in Network Neighborhood -- often for days.
The next thing -- is did you put in a userid and password when you went
into Windows?

DVD video support is in the 2.3 kernels. See http://www.linux.org.uk/diary/
or http://roadrunner.swansea.linux.org.uk/~hobbit/diary.html for first
hand details . If you want stable support, wait for the
2.4 kernels. Since I am a broke college student, the whole point is moot
for me...

The same idea works with CD-ROMs, so you can use RPM binaries from a
CD-ROM.
A tool I like to play around with is Trinux, which is actually a very
small Linux OS. (www.trinux.org)
It's basically a kernel and a few tools like netstat and stuff, but the
lovely thing about it is that you can add w

I know, so was I, I bought this system from the linux systems section on
pricewatch.com. Only to find that while it shipped with RH 6.0, hardly any of the
hardware was linux compatable.
I got a good price so have been struggling with slapping old hard ware I've got
hanging around.
Last night
I didn't think that version looked familiar, so I looked around and nope,
it's not a kernel we we either shipped or put out as an update. For 6.0,
it was 2.2.5-15, with an update of 2.2.5-22, and 5.2 had the 2.0.x
kernels. But all you should have to do is just compile a 2.2.2 kernel
and turn off

Yeah, it's just a matter of emulating a DSP in the kernel. Raph has
been talking about doing this for some time.
It's a REAL waste of processor cycles, though.
