[SLE] Crashing system
by graham.cameron＠cognesis.com 01 Aug '00

01 Aug '00

I installed Linix 6.4 last week and have so far experienced 2 unexplained crashes. On both occasions the machine had no users logged on and was doing nothing special. Everything was frozen and the machine wouldn't ping. Nothing in the message log except a gap until I rebooted. Can anyone tell me what disagnostics/logs can I switch on in an attempt to trap what is going wrong next time it happens ?

Hi, I found a file in /var/spool/mail called BOGUS.0jcB. It contained nothing. I deleted it as it didn't look as if it ought to be there. It didn't use to be there.

[SLE] CDROM in 2.2.16 screwed up?
by kastus＠tsoft.com 01 Aug '00

01 Aug '00

Hi list, I just upgraded my SuSE 6.4 to 2.2.16 kernel from SuSE and bump! Kodak Picture CD which mounted without problems on kernel 2.2.14 lost a couple of directories. I booted back into 2.2.14 kernel, mounted CD, all directories are there. Reboted into 2.2.16, directories are gone. Some more details on my system, if it matters: AMD K6-2-500 CPU, 128 MB RAM, FIC 2013 motherboard (VIA chipset), ATAPI 48x CD-ROM, k_deflt kernel. Sorry, I can't dig deeper into the roots of the problem, but it looks much like the situation we've had with 2.2.6 (or am I mistaken) "stable" kernel, when suddenly msdos filesystems stopped to work and it was a matter of someone changing some concept in filesystems (to improve them) but forgetting about msdos. What's the general attitude of SuSE towards 2.2.16 kernel? Use it at your risk? Why then label it stable? Sorry for sharp words. I like SuSE very much. That's really distribution of my choice, since 1995 I used Slackware, Red Hat, and finally, SuSE. I really wish to help improve the product.

[SLE] OT. Bringing down the 'net
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 01 Aug '00

01 Aug '00

I had to forward this link. This is so scary the more people that see it the better. http://www.hackernews.com/bufferoverflow/99/nitmar/nitmar1.html Basically this is a description of a trojan/virus system which is streets more sophisticated than anything ever released to date. The author has put effort into designing a virus born system which, when installed on your machine, communicates with a number of central servers via the 'net. He's gone to lengths to think through the ways in which these programs can get into systems, how they can morph themselves so they can't be detected by scanning software, how they can spread themselves, and how they can sit dormant, waiting for an instruction to come in that causes them to act. It puts the fate of your machine into the hands of someone, somewhere, who might sometime decide to type the word "DESTROY" into a file somewhere. This is aimed it at Windows, but, given there's no lack of root exploits on Linux machines, this could easily be reworked to infiltrate then attack Linux boxes. As he points out, the only reason this hasn't been done so far is because the people who are capable of this sort of thing are too sensible to implement it. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

[SLE] Disk command
by tb64710＠ltec.net 31 Jul '00

31 Jul '00

Hi list, I would like to move my whole SuSE6.4 install from one hard drive to another. Right now it is on a 10G drive and I want to move (copy) it to my 20G drive, which at the moment, is secondary master ( /dev/hdc). After the move, it will be moved to primary master position (/dev/hda), and the 10G drive moved to secondary master position. I have seen reference to the dd command, but I would like to be sure that this is what I want and that I use it correctly. I really don't want to do a re-install if possible....there's too much set up. I'm waiting for the new SuSE and/or KDE2 before I do that. Also, would I change lilo and fstab before moving the system so it remains bootable or will I be able to get in with the CD to change these after the move? Or am I opening a can 'o worms?

Re: [SLE] fsck failed

Hi, I posted a response last week, but I guess it didn't make it. It was a nice, detailed message, which I don't have time for today, so I'll just get to the dirt: 1. Run #e2fsck -f -b 8193 /dev/hdx The x is for the drive that's hosed (usually hda) 2. I mentioned before, that without fixing errors, you will have problems such as these, esp. the ld.so.cache (which is a map of all your libraries, and essential for any database, gcc, xlibs, etc..) 3. The messages are telling you that you have dead blocks, or hosed up blocks. You need to fix it, if you really love your system. 4. If the command above doesn't work, try a new superblock (1, 8193,16385, etc) Also, you can use the -y option (says yes to everything) but it's more fun to have to answer to thousands of questions, makes you feel like you actually fixed something. :) email me at ron(a)airenetmexico.com if you need more help.

[SLE] Networking question
by iwan＠vvier.tudelft.nl 31 Jul '00

31 Jul '00

Hello networking gurus. I have a problem that I can't seem to solve. On our network we have 16 real IP adresses in the 145.94.xxx.xxx range, subnetmask 255.255.255.240. Our gateway is an isdn router. I want to install a firewall, but I don't want to change the workstation's IP adresses. My firewall has two ethernet cards. The first is connected with a crosslink cable to the router, the second to the rest of the network. What I would like to know is what ifconfig parameters I should use for the cards, and what /etc/route.conf should look like.

[SLE] Netscape Communicator bug.
by fm＠cupserv.org 31 Jul '00

31 Jul '00

Posting this here because so many of you use Communicator. Fred ______________________ Netscape Communicator May Run Arbitrary Code ------------------------------------------------------------ Solar Designer VERSIONS EFFECTED Netscape Communicator 3.0 through 4.73 as well as Mozilla M15 -- versions 4.74 and M16 do not exhibit the bug DESCRIPTION The JPEG interchange format provides for a two-byte comment length field within the body of the data, however that field is not checked for a proper value in the affected versions of the product. Because of that programming oversight it may be possible to overwrite the heap to cause arbitrary code to execute on the system. The problem affects the mail, news, and Web components of Communicator. VENDOR RESPONSE Upgrade to a more current version. -- ----/ / _ Fred A.

I agree that their manual is good for new users, but the full upgrade version is not sold in the US (or has not been in the past.) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Hi all >I am afraid that SuSE's silence is deafening on this matter. Where did the news that SuSE will distribute two different distributions come from? I wonder if they have leaked the info to test if SuSE customers would be happy with this move? I understand that there is a market to produce a version without a manual, but I think SuSE do produce a CD set without a manual already, so it looks like plans to produce distros like RH. I personally purchased SuSE 6 and 6.3 because of the excellent reviews and the good value for money. Hopefully any move to split the distro in to specialist areas will maintain an excellent distro and value for money, otherwise there are plenty of other distros to use.
