am I hacked ?
by Damir Buskulic 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

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.

mk2fs1.19, 13 jul..
by Haas Peter 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

hello, it is a certain time ago, since I tried to install Linux on my imac. It succeeded before, but as I tried to install it again, it stuck in the installation-process. I´ve read the different explanations in the sdb. Since now I thought it was, because I changed the blocks and cylinders of the swap-Partition by navigating with the cursor-arrows in the expert-mode. Installation without swap and ram set to 120mb failed, I got the message "mk2fs1.19, 13 jul...". The Installation stuck in different states of the process, depending on the selected software. I can`t remember, if it allways had something to do with Modem-Stuff, for which a workaround is suggested, but there weren`t Problems with it before anyhow. Meanwhile I think it might rather have to do with a dirty cd-rom-drive-lense, because it doesn`t work as good as new anymore. My questions: Is it an excluding fact for the swap-idea, when Installation fails with higher ram, without swap-partition? Has anyone experience in cleaning the cd-rom lense? Is it usefull to take it apart? -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!

SuseFirewall2 and icq-phone
by Alexander Meier 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

hi all, I've got a PPC (PowerMac 7300 with G4 card) set up as firewall for our student-home-network. Now one of my friends uses icq-phone to talk to his girlfriend abroad.... and since I'm a nice guy, I'd like to allow him that ;-) now here's the config and the problem: suse 7.3, kernel 2.4.12, installation method: suse predefined server config the mac is our dhcp, dns, masquerading server and also our firewall. icq-phone uses udp port's 6701 for icq-phone (sniffed with ettercap and ethereal) a connection between my friend and his girl can be established, but they cannot communicate... I don't know why! for testing purposes I set the firewall to minimal security, allowing all ports above 1024 to come in and out. has anyone got an idea how I could solve this problem? My only guess is that I have to to enable a port forwarding from the server to the friend's client on the port 6701? could that solve our problems? thanks for any help!! cheers alex Content Security by MailMarshal

nvupdate hanging
by Herbert G. Fischer 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

Hi all, I'm trying to use yaboot (non-SuSE, but original), and it's locking on nvupdate. I tryed to use nvupdate by hand, and I discovered that it is doing nothing. It hangs. I type Ctrl-C and it stops without crashing. Any idea on what's wrong? Note, I'm using Suse PPC 7.3 on a IBM 7046-B50 CHRP server. Thanks! Herbert

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
