[SuSE Linux] initrd image
by luca＠thehub.co.uk 08 Jan '99

08 Jan '99

Hi , I am trying to buit an initrd image but the I get the following error: # mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/loop0 as a block device (maybe 'insmod driver' ?) Can't get a loopback device. I went through my kernel and I am sure I did select the loopback device. This is part of the HOWTO: Making an initrd image An initrd image is needed for loading your SCSI module at boot time. The shell script /sbin/mkinitrd can build a proper initrd image for your machine if the following conditions are met: - The loopback block device is available. - The /etc/conf.modules file has a line for your SCSI adapter; for example: 'alias scsi_hostadapter BusLogic' I've also checked the conf.modules file and I've got a line aliasing the scsi HD: 'alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx' What can I do in order to avoid the above mentioned error ? Is there any way i can load the loopback device before running the mkinitrd command ? -- Luca Colombi System Administrator The Hub Communications Co. Ltd.

[SuSE Linux] Problem with a network device
by snieto＠sc.sas.cica.es 08 Jan '99

08 Jan '99

Hello, My system is a Linux with two network devices, one of them has a real direction, and the other has a private direction, both are the same model REALTEK 10100. My version of linux is SUSE 5.3, it is a firewall, it has a proxy server, it is a mail server (sendmail and pop3 ). When there are some people connect to it, for example reading the mail or navigating in Internet, the interface with the private direction, has many problems. From the linux I can ping only to the private direction, I cannot ping to the other direction of the LAN, and from all the directions of the LAN, I cannot ping the Linux's private direction. So there isn't comunications between my LAN and the exterior. When it happen, some messages like this appear in the /var/log/messages file: Transmit timeout, status 0d 0000. eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008203c. (queue head) eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 0008203c. eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 100825ea. eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0008022f. I know that it is'nt a fail in the hardware ( network device ) because I have changed it yet and the same problem has happened again. Please, ¡ help me !, I'm sorry because my english is horrible, Thank you very much. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Leigh, Perhaps, in the spirit of cooperation, you would like to start the ball rolling....? After all, everyone one the list is supposed to be working together. I think that reading the documentation for network-cracking tools like SATAN is worthwhile, and updating assorted utilities on a Linux box is an essential - known secure (or, at least, more secure) versions of the likes of sendmail. Also, avoid NIS like the plague, never export NFS filesystems globally, and try to export NFS read-only if possible, disable fingerd, or get a modified version if you NEED to use it. Disable or delete unused or dormant system or user accounts. Subscribe to the CERT mailing list, so you at least get notification of security holes (have a look at the security page on linux weekly news, too) and also Phrack magazine. There must be more than just that..... Putting stuff like that out might stir a few people, but that's well-known stuff. Any opinions?
