Re: [suse-security] password change on NIS as root?
by Kurt Rabitsch 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

Good morning, I just delete the password entry in /var/yp/src/shadow, do a make and change the password with <passwd> as root by leaving 'Old Password:' empty and put in the new one. That is the only way it works that I found. Greetings, Kurt >On Thu, 18 Dec 2003, Bob Vickers wrote: > >> This unpleasant problem happens on 8.2 as well.

Nmap and Nessus broken with SuSE 9.0
by Alex Zimin 18 Dec '03

This question has been asked here number of times, However no statement from SuSE team was received. Any idea what may cause the problem? Any good word from SuSE? Or should we discuss unsibscribe emails here? Appears to be those are a better interest in this mailing list. Thanks, Alex.

Digging into it revealed that there is an error in another package that causes the segfault. We'll find out what the best fix, which is non-trivial for statically liked stuff... Please be patient.

firewall logs
by Alberto M. 18 Dec '03

I did enable suse firewall (with both receiving packet and debug logs) by yast console. It seems to be working good, but I'm not able to find out firewall logs, since I don't have any in /var/log/. Anyone can help me? Bye -Alberto -- "Imagination is more important than knowledge"

nerving "unsuscribe" mails
by Philippe Vogel 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Hi! I now ignore and delete any incoming unsuscribeing-related mails. This nerves and contains nothing interesting for me and this security related list! Philippe P.S.: Since I am suscribed to this list I get more and more spam. Is it possible to store each html cache of this list with mixed unicode hex & decimal encoded e-mail addresses, e.g.: http://www.zapyon.de/spam-me-not/index.html ? This would stop further spam to my mailaddress. This study: http://www.cdt.org/speech/spam/030319spamreport.shtml showed a signifgical decrease after encoding.
