What is port "BBN IAD"?

20 Sep '03

To all SuSE gurus I noticed alot of Internet activity on gkrellm, when I was doing "absolutely nothing" so I did a tcpdump tcpdump said I was getting alot of "hits" : 15:10:17.493363 81.73.223.218.64664 > 217.128.180.65.gnutella-svc: S 243854740:243854740(0) win 8192 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK> (DF) 15:10:19.281615 24.88.113.247.4937 > 217.128.180.65.gnutella-svc: S 144007945:144007945(0) win 64240 <mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK> (DF) tcpdump also picked up the following lines of which I am enclosing only a few... ################################################################ # Note I am ... # inet addr:217.128.180.65 P-t-P:217.128.180.1 Mask:255.255.255.255 # using SuSE8.2 and SuSEfirewall2 ################################################################ # Start ... 15:09:47.312195 217.128.180.65.iad1 > 217.128.180.1.53163: S 2378061313:2378061313(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 30613 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) ... 15:09:50.311594 217.128.180.65.iad1 > 217.128.180.1.53163: S 2378061313:2378061313(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 30913 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) ... 15:09:56.311587 217.128.180.65.iad1 > 217.128.180.1.53163: S 2378061313:2378061313(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 31513 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) ... 15:10:08.311586 217.128.180.65.iad1 > 217.128.180.1.53163: S 2378061313:2378061313(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 32713 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) # End ################################################################ My question to all is "Can anyone help me help understand the above lines?"

There is a program out there that can query the "portmapper" listening on port 135/tcp, dump the list of MS RPC servers, and--if you are lucky--provide some clues regarding the nature of a service running on a given port, e.g. IfId: 469d6ec0-0d87-11ce-b13f-00aa003bac6c version 16.0 Annotation: MS Exchange System Attendant Public Interface UUID: 469d6ec0-0d87-11ce-b13f-00aa003bac6c Binding: ncacn_ip_tcp:172.16.15.37[1058] RpcMgmtInqIfIds succeeded Interfaces: 4 469d6ec0-0d87-11ce-b13f-00aa003bac6c v16.0 83d72bf0-0d89-11ce-b13f-00aa003bac6c v6.0 67df7c70-0f04-11ce-b13f-00aa003bac6c v3.0 06ed1d30-d3d3-11cd-b80e-00aa004b9c30 v1.0 RpcMgmtInqServerPrincName succeeded Name: MSExchangeSA RpcMgmtInqStats succeeded Stats[0]: 60342 Stats[1]: 0 Stats[2]: 48 Stats[3]: 51 Look for a file called (approximately) rpctools-1.0.zip. If you have the package where Microsoft puts all useful stuff they neglect to include in the base system (resource kit?), you may find a similar program there. (BTW: I have a feeling MS RPC is a can of worms waiting to be open.) ******* end ************ To sum up my question: "I receiving alot of port scans (aren't we all?) but why, am I (my ip address=217.128.180.65), trying to connect to 217.128.180.1.53163 (see line below) ? 15:10:08.311586 217.128.180.65.iad1 > 217.128.180.1.53163: S 2378061313:2378061313(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 32713 0,nop,wscale 0> (DF) TIA James

network problem
by Rohit 20 Sep '03

20 Sep '03

Hi, I have a RealTex card. rtl8913too is the module loaded for it. The system is dual boot and all the entries DNS/Gateway/IP/Subnet are same on Win 2000 and Linux. All was fine a while back, but since I changed the IP [on both platforms], windows works fine while Linux has given up "Network unreachable" error is what it tells me. Assuming that I am decently educated in this era, can any one of you tell me what to do? Has anyone faced this problem before themselves? -- Rohit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +9122 5692 2108 G9,Floor-1,Chandivali : SDE : TLSI : 9821394599(a)bplmobile.com The note below, if any, is compulsorily added for non-mahindrabt recipients. ********************************************************* Disclaimer This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.

a very basic network question
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 20 Sep '03

Having two computers connected over a twisted pair is a nice start. It should be the start of a small home network. Where do I find information over how to get connected and to exchange files etc., Right now I can Ping the other computer but have no idea how to begin earnest work.

firewall configuration question
by Tom Allison 20 Sep '03

20 Sep '03

I have suse boxen sitting behind a hardware firewall that does port forwarding. I want to be able to configure services on the server to act like this: ALL ipaddresses can access a specified list of port (smtp, http) ONLY a specified subnet can access either all open ports, or another specified list of ports (ssh, imap, pop...) Right now I have the first one, sort of But I'm having trouble with the second. Also, I know that SSH can be configured to run as daemon with TCP_Wrappers support. Does SuSE distribute SSH with that option configured? -- If I'm over the hill, why is it I don't recall ever being on top? -- Jerry Muscha

Some new RPM packages

20 Sep '03

Hi all, I only would like to announce that I've build some new packages currently not supported by SuSE and perhaps somebody would need The packages are: -pam_mysql : mysql module for PAM. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pam-mysql -gif2png: an efficient gif to png converter. http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/gif2png/ You can download them, among other packages, at: http://www.oxixares.com/~gbv/rpms/SuSE_8.0/ http://www.oxixares.com/~gbv/rpms/SuSE_8.2/ ftp://ftp.oxixares.com/pub/rpms/SuSE_8.0/ ftp://ftp.oxixares.com/pub/rpms/SuSE_8.2/ Have a nice weekend.

ssh configuration
by Tom Allison 20 Sep '03

20 Sep '03

I'm trying to set up some details on my SSH server. I'm not sure what the "SuSE" method of configuration might be for this one. Example: What kinds of things can you put into the SSH Options? I guess I'm looking for a basic example of what I can put in. Specifically I want to be able to configure sshd_config with options like: XForwarding Yes PasswordAuthentication Yes PrivPubKeyAuthentication Yes Protocol 2 Things like this. I want to be able to set this up and not have the configuration file get overwritten later on as the result of an update. SSH is going to be the main method of managing this machine and I REALLY can't afford to have ssh go "poof". Being new(er) to SuSE, I'm a little iffy on the configuration methods. Each distribution has their own techniques on this stuff, I'm just not up to speed on how SuSE does it. I've been playing with Debian for 4 years and am not really familiar with this alternative.
