SUSE 10.0 'vulnerable' versions of GnuPG and OpenSSL?
by Carl Hartung 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Hi All, I recently installed, updated and ran rkhunter. Here's what it's saying about GnuPG and OpenSSL: * Application version scan - GnuPG 1.4.2 [ Vulnerable ] - Bind DNS 9.3.1 [ OK ] - OpenSSL 0.9.7g [ Vulnerable ] - PHP 4.4.0 [ OK ] - Procmail MTA 3.22 [ OK ] - OpenSSH 4.1p1 [ OK ] Ideas or recommendations, anyone? thanks! Carl

Because the windows machine is listening to the world. I would check what ports are forwarded by your upstream router to this machine. And I would investigate what Anders pointed out about syslog. I'd seriously lock down that router of yours, and perhaps take this machine off the net till you can explain those connections. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

I got the above message, downloaded and installed the updates, rebooted -- and got the same message again. I rechecked, and no new updates were available. What's going on? Paul

Would that be any safer? And how would I go about it? Grub's 'error 15' means it can't find the files needed to boot. Try running the 'repair installed system' module from your installation media (DVD/CD) and select to have it reinstall the bootloader (grub.) This will leave the updated kernel intact. I seem to recall having to do this before discovering kernel updates via YOU have to 'fly solo' ;-) regards, Carl

[opensuse] X isn't the only memory hog
by Felix Miata 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

I did some maintenance on my 10.0 server, and when done I rebooted into runlevel 3 instead of 5 (KDE). Now 1.5 hours later, still without X, top shows 114048K of Mem is used. No top entry by itself is using even 1.0% of Mem, but several programs are using many lines of 0.4, or more each. ntpd is at the top of the list at 0.8, then hald at 0.7, cupsd at 0.7, 2 smbds at 0.7 each, then 11 instances of httpd2-prefork at 0.5 each, 4 copies of smbmount at 0.4 each, sshd & nmbd at 0.4 each, 2 mc at 0.4 each, and then the bash entries. That 0.8 amounts to 41k all by itself, which seems like a lot just to keep the clock correct. The 4 smbmount entries I understand are for the 4 mounted shares, but 20k each seems like a lot too. The big puzzle is httpd2-prefork. Why are there 11 entries of it (totalling 22k)? How do servers get by on 128M or even only 64M, or are those only print servers that can do that? Makes me wonder how Linux ever got any development traction back when 32M of RAM was a lot, when W95 was brand new. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Start the installation process and proceed as though you're installing from scratch. At some point, it's going to probe the system and find an already installed Linux. At that point, it should ask if you want to repair the installed system or proceed with a 'new installation'. Try to get the system booting normally before attempting to address other questions. Less complicated! Carl PS: Please fix the 'To:' info before clicking 'Send' so your mails go to the list. That way, I don't have to 'fix' my responses every time I write back. ;-)

Low disksåace ?
by Erik Jakobsen 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Hi. I'm receiving this message on my 10.1: You are running low on disk space on your home partition (currently -26% free), would you like to run Konqueror to free some disk space and fix the problem? How can I increase the diskspace?. I know I can delete files/directories, but this is not what I want to do. I want to keep the content, and make the space greater. Erik

That's when I got the message that I would have to re-boot. > --ED-- Hopefully, you *deselected* the 'Remove packages after installation' checkbox to preserve the downloaded packages. If not, you'll need to download them manually from an updates repository. I'm presently booted into 10.0 (I'm still massaging 10.1), so the packages downloaded by YOU are stored under '/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/10.0/rpm/i586' You should have '.../10.1/...', instead. The last kernel update on my 10.0 system included the following packages: kernel-default-2.6.13-15.8.i586.rpm kernel-default-nongpl-2.6.13-15.8.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.6.13-15.8.i586.rpm If I were going to reinstall these packages, I'd copy them to a temporary working directory, open a shell, 'su' to superuser permissions and run the following commands: rpm -ihv --force kernel-*.rpm --test If no errors were reported, I'd continue (using the 'up' arrow and backspacing out the '--test' parameter): rpm -ihv --force kernel-*.rpm ldconfig SuSEconfig I can't recall if the installation script handles this already, but repeating it doesn't hurt anything: mkinitrd I'd then exit out of superuser, exit the shell, log out of my desktop and select to restart the computer. I've put this 'plan' together from memory. If I've overlooked something, I'm sure we'll read about it shortly. ;-) One more thing: Before attempting this procedure, you might want to first boot the system using your installation media (DVD/CD) and select 'Boot installed system' to ensure the appropriate environment has been established for installing the updates. hth & regards, Carl

Hi, well I've tried what you suggested but It keeps ending with the following error: + cd /var/tmp/build-root-gutenprint + find . -type d -fprint /usr/src/packages/BUILD/file.list.gutenprint.dirs + find . -type f -fprint /usr/src/packages/BUILD/file.list.gutenprint.files.tmp sed '/\/man\//s/$/.gz/g' /usr/src/packages/BUILD/file.list.gutenprint.files.tmp find: paths must precede expression Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression] error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10977 (%install) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.10977 (%install) Is there any way you can email me your spec file?

Does the > at the end belong and does the line 50 stuff belong on the same line as sed? gutenprint.files.tmp is being built but its empty. and gutenprint.files.dirs is built and has a list of directories in it. Any additional help would be appreciated. -- Russ
