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.
Cheers
Damir

I was recently given an older pci bus power mac that I'd like to run
linux on. slackintosh seems to have ceased development and yellow dog
won't boot from the iso I burned. I'm looking at suse-ppc as I'm
moving toward running suse on everything I can.
Where can I find more info about suse-ppc especially drive
setup/partitioning and instalition?
Is suse-ppc undergoing current development and up to date? (I noticed
that 9.1 seems to be current but could only find 7.x for ppc)
How do install suse-ppc? (seems there is no iso and the PowerMAC
architecture is extremely differn't from the intel background I come
from)
can OS8.6/OS9.1 coexist on the same physical drive and dual boot with suse?
Thanks,
-Galt

Christian,
Thanks to the responses I've been getting on this
list, I've become aware of the things I've missed
in this project. As you and others have mentioned,
I need to learn more about Masquerading and iptables.
I'm also going try Douglas' suggestion of DHCP.
Am I correct in understanding that Netfilter is
automatically built into the kernel, or does it
need to be configured? Is there any way
to check that it exists? I just want to make
sure because, with the exception of iptables
and Masquerading, I seem to have much of
the other issues resolved (ip addresses,
domain name servers addresses, ip
forwarding on, etc.)
Best Regards,
Erik

Hi all,
I recently put SuSE 7.3 on my PowerMac 8500. I've loaded the minimal install plus X, and also added routed and the most recent build of zebra. In essence, I'd like my 8500 to be a router (on a 56k connection for now, broadband later). I've played with the related settings so much I don't know what information to give anymore. Basically, I set up the system with ip forwarding on, a route table (in route.conf, if I recall correctly), ifconfig, and route. Then I tried to hook up a Mac OS 9 based PowerMac and got nowhere.
Currently, the OS 9 mac is using the 56k modem. It's hooked up via ethernet to a switch, which is also connected to the SuSE system. They can ping each other just fine, but the OS9 can't reach beyond the SuSE to the internet. It may be important to note that they OS9 pings SuSE via MachTen, a BSD environment for OS9 and previous. There's no standard Mac app that I'm using to ping the SuSE box.
I later tried routed, which theoretically should have dynamically taken care of everything. No dice. I also downloaded Zebra, and followed all the instructions for set up and running. Still nothing. I'm wondering if anyone has ever experienced this problem before, and if so, what a potential solution could be. Should I configure atalkd? Will acting as an Appletalk router actually help, or is it more complexity than what I need? Am I just overlooking something? I know that OS9 systems have their own host file format-could there be something unique to Macs that I'm overlooking?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Erik
