am I hacked ?

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

IBM RS6k installation
by Mario 02 Apr '03

02 Apr '03

Hi everybody, Yesterday I tried to install SuSE 7.3 on a IBM RS600 B50 (model 7046, the one without video adapter), I booted from the console using the procedure and the images described at the url : http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ubrueck_floppyinstall.html the boot process works perfectly (from the OF prompt I used the line boot floppy:,zimage root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 console=ttyS0,9600 fake_initrd) except for one thing : when I try to load the network card module I get an error saying that is impossible to load the module lance32 ; my machine has 2 ADM PCNET ethernet adpter, so the driver should be the right one (I used it on SuSE ppc 7.0) , I also tried to remove one of the adapters (the one on PCI BUS) but unfortunately nothing changed. I tried also the autoprobing, but it didn't load the network module. Is there something that I'm missing ? could you suggest me something ? thanks in advance M. -- () ASCII Ribbon Campaign /\ Against HTML Mail

Installing onto a Powerbook 1400....
by Andrew Thornber 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Can any one help? I have been given a Powerbook 1400 and really want to put SuSE 7.3 PPC on it! The only problem is how! Their website said the model isn't supported, but I have been to MKLinux and it says their version supports it but not the EXT SCSI. Is this the case with SuSE? Has anyone had any experience in doing this or encountered any problems. I have spoken to them and they suggested that I contact you guys/galls and see if you are able to help. TIA, Andy

sendmail and suse-ppc
by Marcus Calahan 05 Mar '03

Hi I have been reading about this new sendmail exploit and was wondering if there is a patch for the sendmail that comes with Suse? One of my mates has Mandrake Linux (x86) and the mandrake site had an rpm to patch sendmail with. I havent seen anything (to my knowledge) on the suse site? Do I need to worry? Cheers MARCUS

[suse-ppc] Installing SLES 8.0 on PowerMac G4
by Jim Airola 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Hello, I'm trying to install SLES 8.0 on a PowerMac G4. I have the Macintosh HD and a clean IDE installed. When I boot from the CD and start the installation process, it says that no hard drives are found. Yet, if I boot the Mac OSX both hard drives are seen. How do I get the IDE drives to be recognized by the installation code? Thanks, Jim

XFree86 start problem with Permedia 2
by Gilles 02 Mar '03

02 Mar '03

Hi ! I'm trying to setup XFree86 4.1.0 of SuSE 7.3 PPC with a Permedia 2 graphic card. The computer is a PowerStack II (PReP with OpenFirmware) with a 300 MHz 604e. There is another board (CL5446) used for console and the Permedia 2 is the second board. The same config runs fine with a Matrox Millenium and the mga driver (1024x768 16bpp). The problem seems to be missing symbols in the glint driver, and/or PCI related : (WW) xf86ReadPciBIOS: Unsupported on this platform. Symbol xf86DestroyI2CDevRec from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/glint_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol xf86DestroyI2CDevRec from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/glint_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol xf86SetDDCproperties from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/glint_drv.o is unresolved! Full details and config files : http://www.gloups.net/permedia2/ I have not tried with XFree86 4.2.0 as it breaks many dependencies among installed packages (sax2 and saxtools among others). If anybody has info about this problem, thanks in advance, Gilles Menigot
