You will be violating their T&C's by installing their software and not licensing the machine. You might want to keep in mind that Redhat dont 'sell' a license, they sell 'subscriptions' per machine / per year / per product. > Can I install from the RH CD's and then use YUM to update my packages > and kernel, using the WBEL mirrors? Whats stopping you from downloading and installing WBEL ?

Otherwise the mirrors have no chance to sync up. http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/faq.html also says # How is WhiteBox Linux updated? Obviously RHN isn't available as an option, so yum has been brought in from Fedora along with a version of up2date that can work with yum. So pick Up2Date Network from the menu and it basically "just works". There are some issues though. There is still an initial panel which refers to rhn, but if you just click past that it doesn't actually try connecting to rhn. Another is that the current version of up2date doesn't support multiple repositories via yum and the default choice is the primary whiteboxlinux.org server. Since this machine has limited bandwidth you really should switch to a mirror. Edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and comment out the two entries listing www.whiteboxlinux.org and uncomment the one at ncsu. Once you run up2date the first time it will retrieve an update to itself, after which you can either keep the ncsu entry or pick a different mirror. Putting both together, you should probably comment out references to whiteboxlinux.org from yum, leaving only references to its mirrors. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Maze Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2004 11:52:14 -0400 Subject: [WBEL-users] Yum Update Error To: whitebox-users@beau.org Hello, Just tried a YUM update and received the following error: Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 - i386 - Base retrygrab() failed for: http://whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/os/i386/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/os/i386/headers/header.info [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found I have a http://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/pub/whitebox/3.0/en/os/i386 entry to my yum.conf file; it's currently commented out.

Any ideas? Our experience at www.mythic-beasts.com showed problems with PCMCIA - the installer hung here and we had to do a local disk install rather than nfs with a modified installer. I've contacted my colleague who actually did the install [he's a UML person rather than a WBEL person] to see if we can get some documentation together to help other people, he admitted it was a bit challenging. Some other notes on WBEL under UML :- To do the initial package upgrade with yum, you need to boot with more than 64MB of memory, otherwise yum crashes in an unhelpful way, 128MB RAM & 128MB of swap worked okay. To run java, you need to disable nptl, by moving /lib/tls to /lib/tls-dontuse Note that upgrading glibc will put this back. Our UML boxes are running on 2.4.25 & 2.6.5 kernels, and seem quite happy, I've been using one as a low latency UDP proxy for game playing running a highly threaded java program as the UDP relay and it's worked just like a real machine.

I've been trying to get to Dag's site for a while now and it seems to
have dropped off the face of the earth. Does anyone else know where to
get RHEL3 updates? Or what happened to his site?

Thanks.

Any ideas? Hi again, I've spoken to my colleague Paul, the best advice we have is to follow the instructions on http://linuxhacker.ru/uml/ which is for Redhat 8/9 but works almost perfectly for WBEL too, in particular it explains how to get around the pcmcia detection problems. buy a virtual WBEL server at http://www.mythic-beasts.com/vds.html !

Things are going slower this time because he's sorting out some issues that have kept other updates from going as smoothly as he wanted them to. Since there are no major security issues involved, this seems a good time to get it all worked out. Of course, any updates that involve security issues get top priority. Regarding the basic question of 'how long will it take', release time on other updates depends on the complexity of getting it recompiled and uploaded to the mirrors and on John's schedule.

But I had similar delays with programs that were trying to resolve the name of the connecting IP address. When I did this from internal sites, the server would delay for quite a bit while it tried to resolve 192.168.x.x. You can test this by adding an entry in your hosts file (on the vsftpd server) for your IP address and giving it a name. See if your connection speed improves.

Specifically an AMD > Opteron? RHAS is supposed to support it, but is it a special distro > for 64-bit support? It is possible because RHEL runs on Opteron too. You may use Pasi's RC1 (release candidate 1) from Whitebox contrib directory: http://whitebox.phantomhosting.com/contrib/ But this is not a good choice because Pasi moves to Tao Linux (http://taolinux.org) as communication with Morris is not easy. So final version of AMD64 port is at Tao Linux site. There is IA64 port too. The choice of Tao Linux is better because all RHEL's errata are compiled already (Whitebox has outstanding packages every time). This is true that Morris has Athlon64 machine and runs WBEL port on it but even there was promises and delays, now there is a silence. I compiled all errata myself for WBEL RC1 AMD64 but I don't want to continue because I'm only wasting my time and effort (when trying to make external support until Morris handle its own troubles). My dual Opteron machine has been claimed and now is running just for 2 days. I simply changed packages: whitebox-release -> tao-release redhat-logos -> tao-logos Then I changed URLs in /etc/yum.conf to point to Tao Linux mirrors and run 'yum update'. Because binary compatibility you are able to switch between Tao, Whitebox, CentOS, Lineox or so very easy. You have to 'update' only modified packages (only a few) to satisfy yum (ie because httpd-2.0.46-32.ent.TL1 from Tao is a different version when compared with httpd-2.0.46-32.ent.WB1 from Whitebox even they are mostly the same [only because handling trademark issue]). The second difference is that WBEL has kernel and kernel-unsupported (like RHEL) and Tao has only kernel package (with all modules in one package). -- Milan Kerslager E-mail: milan.kerslager@pslib.cz WWW: http://www.pslib.cz/~kerslage/ From webmaster@ew3d.com Sun Jun 6 17:32:53 2004 From: webmaster@ew3d.com (John Hinton) Date: Sun, 06 Jun 2004 12:32:53 -0400 Subject: [WBEL-users] Shell Script Cannot run binary file In-Reply-To: <1086282882.8633.94.camel@radar0.larc.nasa.gov> References: <200406031502.06749.jhp@jhprins.org> <40BF4FB1.3010005@beau.org> <1086282882.8633.94.camel@radar0.larc.nasa.gov> Message-ID: <40C34735.8020107@ew3d.com> Wondering if anybody else has experienced this.

Spamprobe is a c compiled binary. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1301574 May 2 13:14 spamprobe If I run su webmaster /usr/local/bin/spamprobe cleanup 2 14 it runs fine But, if I have a script called myfile2 containing #!/bin/sh PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin su webmaster /usr/local/bin/spamprobe cleanup 2 14 (this was in a much longer script, pulled it out to do simplified testing. Same results for both) [root@irongate bin]# ./myfile2 sh: /bin/sh: cannot execute binary file and if I try doing away with the sh in the script, I get [root@irongate bin]# ./myfile2 /usr/local/bin/spamprobe: /usr/local/bin/spamprobe: cannot execute binary file The SpamProbe binary runs fine on RH 7.2 webmaster shell is set to /bin/sh in passwd It's like there is some major change in the shells from 7.2 to RHEL. I also noticed that some characters did not transfer properly via rsync between the two machines. A unneeded character created by something editing files on a mac machine changed to some other char when moved from one machine to the other. These did not show up on the old box, but made a ? show up in web pages on the new system. Odd. Yes, I was on RH 7.2 until last month for productions servers. I just now believe apache 2 and more importantly, its modules are ready for primetime. Thanks for any help on this one.... Seems I can't run any binary as any user from the shell.

Ok, more info.

Spamprobe is a c compiled binary.

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      1301574 May  2 13:14 spamprobe

If I run

su webmaster
/usr/local/bin/spamprobe cleanup 2 14

it runs fine

But, if I have a script called myfile2 containing

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
su webmaster /usr/local/bin/spamprobe cleanup 2 14
try this:

su - webmaster -c "/usr/local/bin/spamprobe cleanup 2 14"

(this was in a much longer script, pulled it out to do simplified 
testing. Same results for both)

[root@irongate bin]# ./myfile2
sh: /bin/sh: cannot execute binary file

and if I try doing away with the sh in the script, I get

[root@irongate bin]# ./myfile2
/usr/local/bin/spamprobe: /usr/local/bin/spamprobe: cannot execute 
binary file

The SpamProbe binary runs fine on RH 7.2

webmaster shell is set to /bin/sh in passwd

It's like there is some major change in the shells from 7.2 to RHEL. I 
also noticed that some characters did not transfer properly via rsync 
between the two machines. A unneeded character created by something 
editing files on a mac machine changed to some other char  when moved 
from one machine to the other. These did not show up on the old box, but 
made a ? show up in web pages on the new system. Odd.

Yes, I was on RH 7.2 until last month for productions servers. I just 
now believe apache 2 and more importantly, its modules are ready for 
primetime.

Thanks for any help on this one.... Seems I can't run any binary as any 
user from the shell.

Best,
John Hinton

"Bootable" is an attribute of the ISO file itself, and it does not depend on what program you use to burn the ISO image. The choice of burning program is irrelevant. The first Whitebox CD is definitely bootable (hundreds of people on this list can attest to that). As long as you follow the proper instructions for burning an ISO image, the resulting CD will be bootable no matter what program you used to burn the image. A good set of instructions for burning an ISO image with NERO can be found at http://members.home.nl/lsnoek/iso.htm#Nero%20Burning%20ROM Also, http://www.google.com/search?q=nero+bootable+CDs indicates that NERO is capable of burning bootable CDs, although this is also not relevant to Whitebox since it would only apply if you are creating your own bootable ISO images, which is not the case here. -David On Sun, 2004-06-06 at 10:41, Bob Mariotti wrote: > I am anxious to try this WBES as an alternative to my RH8.0.

Dave, Not sure what all you've tried, but I've got a number of cards at home that only work with the kernel-unsupported RPM's installed. That has a lot of obscure modules in it.

If you do this, then set the number of rotations to keep to a larger number so you keep the same number of days like 28 or 35. I have a server where the web traffic logs are over 2GB for a week and the traffic analyzer was throwing fits. The solution was to analyze, rotate and compress the log files daily. This dramatically reduced log file space by keeping the average daily disk usage fairly constant: i.e. instead of using 2-5GB of disk space, the average usage is around 750MB.

Hi Folks,

I recently installed WBEL after hearing about it on the RHCT course I
recently did.

My RHCT tutor said that redhat-config-network uses profiles, so if I then go
and edit the network files by hand I would have to then also edit the
network files for the profile that redhat-config-created.

I can see on my machine that their is a profiles directory so I have no
reason to disbelieve what my tutor told me, however if I was to use
redhat-config-network do I really have to then edit the profile files if I
manually edit the network files ?

Just to clarify, I won't be using redhat-config-network anyway, but I'd like
this issue clearing up before I go for the RHCE.

The RHCE study book I have doesn't mention the profiles stuff - not yet
anyway.

Many thanks

NO ... you do not need to edit the profiles as well if you edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files by hand.  I edited the ifcfg-eth0 file there and it changed all the files (in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles ... it seems the files are hard links to the original.  It might be a good idea to _check_ the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/netowrking/devices and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles though).

I called AMCC/JNI "support" this morning and they said that they initially planned to offer closed source linux drivers then make them open-source. The printed docs included with the card and marketing stuff I found on the web say that this card is supported on linux. Somewhere along the line, they decided (or AMCC decided) not to pursue linux drivers, though and they will not be releasing a closed source driver. I tried rolling a custom kernel with everything that even remotely seemed like it might contain support for the card and it is still not recognized. Part of the reason that I chose WBEL as the distro for this project is because of the theoretical added reliability of a stable disto like RHEL, so I was trying to get away from rolling my own kernel or using devices that are not supported by the stock kernel. I will likely exchange the cards for Qlogic 2340's. Thanks again, Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ty R.

Dave, Not sure what all you've tried, but I've got a number of cards at home that only work with the kernel-unsupported RPM's installed. That has a lot of obscure modules in it. I know that's the one I have to install to get the bttv.o modules for my WinTV card.

Although it did not solve my D-Link DGE-5000SX driver issue, it solved others such as NCPFS. The weird thing is, that prior to their sale to AMCC, JNI frequently mentioned Linux driver support. Here is an semi-old link from fibrechannel.org that discusses their unix driversuite and specifically the linux portion. It does contain a number to call, but who knows.

If you do this, then set the number of rotations to keep to a larger number so you keep the same number of days like 28 or 35. I have a server where the web traffic logs are over 2GB for a week and the traffic analyzer was throwing fits. The solution was to analyze, rotate and compress the log files daily. This dramatically reduced log file space by keeping the average daily disk usage fairly constant: i.e. instead of using 2-5GB of disk space, the average usage is around 750MB. --__--__-- Message: 7 Subject: Re: [WBEL-users] redhat-config-network From: Johnny Hughes Reply-To: mailing-lists@hughesjr.com To: Whitebox-Users Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 17:55:46 -0500 --=-2hnlcYod8SvROBz4SUvx Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On Mon, 2004-06-07 at 11:28, Nick Lunt wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I recently installed WBEL after hearing about it on the RHCT course I > recently did. > > My RHCT tutor said that redhat-config-network uses profiles, so if I then go > and edit the network files by hand I would have to then also edit the > network files for the profile that redhat-config-created. > > I can see on my machine that their is a profiles directory so I have no > reason to disbelieve what my tutor told me, however if I was to use > redhat-config-network do I really have to then edit the profile files if I > manually edit the network files ? > > Just to clarify, I won't be using redhat-config-network anyway, but I'd like > this issue clearing up before I go for the RHCE. > > The RHCE study book I have doesn't mention the profiles stuff - not yet > anyway. > > Many thanks > Nick. NO ... you do not need to edit the profiles as well if you edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files by hand. I edited the ifcfg-eth0 file there and it changed all the files (in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles ... it seems the files are hard links to the original.

Hi Folks,

I recently installed WBEL after hearing about it on the RHCT course I
recently did.

My RHCT tutor said that redhat-config-network uses profiles, so if I then go
and edit the network files by hand I would have to then also edit the
network files for the profile that redhat-config-created.

I can see on my machine that their is a profiles directory so I have no
reason to disbelieve what my tutor told me, however if I was to use
redhat-config-network do I really have to then edit the profile files if I
manually edit the network files ?

Just to clarify, I won't be using redhat-config-network anyway, but I'd like
this issue clearing up before I go for the RHCE.

The RHCE study book I have doesn't mention the profiles stuff - not yet
anyway.

Many thanks
Nick.

NO ... you do not need to edit the profiles as well if you edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files by hand.  I edited the ifcfg-eth0 file there and it changed all the files (in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles ... it seems the files are hard links to the original.  It might be a good idea to _check_ the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/netowrking/devices and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles though).

I called AMCC/JNI "support" this morning and they said that they initially planned to offer closed source linux drivers then make them open-source. The printed docs included with the card and marketing stuff I found on the web say that this card is supported on linux. Somewhere along the line, they decided (or AMCC decided) not to pursue linux drivers, though and they will not be releasing a closed source driver. I tried rolling a custom kernel with everything that even remotely seemed like it might contain support for the card and it is still not recognized. Part of the reason that I chose WBEL as the distro for this project is because of the theoretical added reliability of a stable disto like RHEL, so I was trying to get away from rolling my own kernel or using devices that are not supported by the stock kernel. I will likely exchange the cards for Qlogic 2340's. Thanks again, Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ty R.

Thanks. I have my doubts if spreading the means of users' interhelp is the best mean to achieve the best results. Isn't this mailing list not enough ? I think that foruns are good for nerds, which is defenitly not the case with whitebox users, i suppose. Nevertheless, each one is free to do what he wants.

I personally very much like the idea of a mailing list for general help. Now, yes, RedHat has this, but..... at the moment, I'm not paying RedHat anything and those list are designed for paying customers. I haven't tried and am not sure if I can even get on a RedHat list to ask questions. Either way, RedHat does not 'invite' this use. I would find a general help on "the use of" list to be most helpful. Also, we wind up with much less traffic, as we are only dealing with WBEL a much smaller distro. I see this as positive, where ever it resides. Personally, I would like to see it based from the WBEL site, or at least have one 'official' site listed from there. It would help guarantee the success of any new lists.

Personally, I'd like that this list remained as the main source of help and discussion, BUT sometimes when I ask a "newbie-question", along with a bunch of people who generously take the time to help me with my question, I get replies bouncing me off to go somewhere else to find help for my "off-topic" questions (Linux discussion lists, etc. etc.) So I would very much like to know if I should continue posting my questions to this list or it is after all a very good idea that someone else creates a new list/forum to take care of the things which should not be discussed here even for WBEL users.

Thanks. I have my doubts if spreading the means of users' interhelp is the best way to achieve the best results in us helping each other. Isn't this mailing list not enough ?

If you ask a question which suggests that you need an education rather than a specific answer, particularly to a question which is pretty common to all Linux flavors, then a diferent forum may be more useful. Ask questions here, be prepared to occasionally get a suggestion for a search topic, URL, or similar. Sometimes people ask questions that just don't fit a useful short answer other than "here are places you can look." -- -bill davidsen (davidsen@tmr.com) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me From jamey@library.beau.org Wed Jun 9 23:11:15 2004 From: jamey@library.beau.org (Jamey Fletcher) Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2004 17:11:15 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [WBEL-users] Forums, again.

You can have a mailing list drop into a web forum and posts from the forum going into the Mailing lists. I am surprised that no one has done this yet for the white box lists. One issue - all these email add's from everyone on the mailing list are suddenly going to be available on the Internet ( to be harvested ) - so you need some sort of 'masq' for these.

What I meant to say was - nVidia makes video cards not nics, but then I realized that wasn't entirely true. However, the module that serves the NIC is the dl2k driver (at least on Knoppix, where it works). Someone else will need to opine as to whether or not WBEL supports dl2k out of the box.

So they released a closed-source driver which had to be reverse-engineered and cloned clean-room. As the unhappy owner of an nforce motherboard, I have also been blessed with a nforce ethernet card (which I got working with the forcedeth driver) and an expensive sound card which does not work because they won't tell any linux users (their *customers* for crying out loud) how it works. I am proud to say that I will never buy or recommend a part made by that company ever again. #endif If forcedeth is in the kernel-unsupported package, you can probably use that, otherwise you will need to compile your own kernel with the module (it's pretty painless).

Hi all,
 
I have a problem with my modem which = hangs-up=20 automatically and I don't know why. When I configured my internet = connexion, I=20 set the hangup timeout to 600.
 
On the system log, I receive = :

pppd[6154]: Modem hangup
pppd[6154]: Connection = terminated
pppd[6154]: Connect time 2.1=20 minutes           = (this=20 connection time is never the same)

modprobe: modprobe: can't locate module = ppp0

Any idea about the cause? Can it = come from my=20 modem or is it pppd which hangsup (or another process) ??
It's really a problem because without = it, I can't=20 perform updates and so, i can't use WBEL to make a server

All I do at that point is "yum erase uglypackage" or whatever, and it will offer to remove packages dependent on uglypackage as well. Now you know what caused the problem. Cheers, Andy!

If I remember correctly, I had a probeml with compiling against the stock RPMS that were included in the distro. Personally, I prefer to not use RPMS for PHP because I have more control over which version of PHP is in use and which functions/options are enabled. It's not really fun to set up because you need to configure unixODBC and the freetds options. You will need to recompile PHP linking against FreeTDS and unixODBC from source to enable the mssql functions.

So they released a closed-source driver which had to be reverse-engineered and cloned clean-room. As the unhappy owner of an nforce motherboard, I have also been blessed with a nforce ethernet card (which I got working with the forcedeth driver) and an expensive sound card which does not work because they won't tell any linux users (their *customers* for crying out loud) how it works. I am proud to say that I will never buy or recommend a part made by that company ever again. #endif If forcedeth is in the kernel-unsupported package, you can probably use that, otherwise you will need to compile your own kernel with the module (it's pretty painless).

In older versions of RedHat there was a way to do this via: /etc/sysconfig/static-routes. Reading the whitebox scripts, it looks like this the script you need to read: /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifup-routes It looks like in /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/route-eth0 is roughly the name you want (it looks like you can use either the interface name you'd use for ifup, or the "nickname", which I've never come across before). Googling came up with thread from this mailing list from Nov 2003: http://beau.org/pipermail/whitebox-devel/2003-November/000019.html http://beau.org/pipermail/whitebox-devel/2003-November/000020.html I'm sure the RHEL documentation has good information on this.

I don't know what direction nvidia are taking, but they are making an effort to support their hardware on linux, which is a lot more than many manufacturers are doing. On nvidias website you can download RPM's for several flavours of linux, or you can download the .tar.gz file. I downloaded the .tar.gz and it worked for RHEL3 and WBEL3. Nvidia's drivers definitely include the forcedeth (what a name) module, but whether they coded it themselves or not I couldnt say. On my pc at home I've tried both RHEL and WBEL and neither supported my NIC or my soundcard. I have an nforce m/b and use the NIC and soundcard on that. The drivers from nvidia got both my soundcard and NIC working. I also have an ATI 9800 pro video card, which ati release linux drivers for, however it is a complete nightmare to get 3D working on RHEL/WBEL. No probs with Mandrake 10 however. I think the problem for developers comes from the fact that linux has no set standard. Each version of linux is different which is IMHO why it's still a niche OS. The UnitedLinux branch is hopefully going to change this. Oracle and IBM are using the UnitedLinux label to promote their software onto the linux OS, as no doubt other software manufacturers are. Errm, Im gonna stop there, cos I seem to have gone off topic quite a bit, sorry ;) -Nick.

I can back up to the dvd+rw just fine. however, when I try to burn to the dvd+rw a second time, I get an error that the dvd already has a file system.

I've tried this on two seperate systems, one with a Lite-on dvd burner and one with an NEC ND-1300A. both run RHL9. I've also tried with dvd+rw-tools 5.19 and 5.12.

It's the freedom of linux that allows it to be as good as it is, and allows efforts like Whitebox to exist in the first place. There's no fixed kernel ABI standard because the developers see no reason to help companies that try to take that freedom away from their customers. In nVidia's case it's just pure bloody mindedness - the idea of there being 'valuable intellectual property' in a 10/100 ethernet driver is just too laughable for words.

I disagree. All they need to do to "support" their hardware is to tell their customers how it works. Releasing a binary-only driver under a restrictive license helps their bottom-line but does not help the linux community whatsoever. Imagine buying a car with the hood locked shut, servicible only at "authorized" repair shops! The fact that they are willing to "authorise" /some/ linux distributions on /some/ hardware platforms on /their/ terms is hardly generous: it would make more sense to unlock the "hood". > On nvidias website you can download RPM's for several flavours of linux, or > you can download > the .tar.gz file. > > I downloaded the .tar.gz and it worked for RHEL3 and WBEL3.

The reason why nvidia does not support linux is that they (or more likely their lawyers) believe they can make more money by ignoring the real needs of linux users. Almost all hardware companies will tell you how their hardware works, because they want people to use it. Nvidia is an exception to the rule, and that is why video cards do not work as well as scsi cards or gigabit ehternet cards: it has nothing to do with "standards" and everything to do with their corporate culture and an irrational desire for secrecy. I imagine the lawyers at nvidia think of themselves as being in a cold-war era spy movie, where if the linux users get ahold of the "secret device schematics" the Free World will be in danger. They probably travel around in a suitcase, handcuffed to somebody's wrist. > > Errm, Im gonna stop there, cos I seem to have gone off topic quite a bit, > sorry ;) Yeah, I didn't really want to make a big deal out of it, but it seems like its a common misconception that linux doesn't support video cards because something's wrong with linux, whereas people put a great deal of effort into trying to support video cards with almost *no* help from the companies that make them. I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to get proprietary drivers to work, but it's easily cost my employer $1000's of dollars of wasted time.

Mike, I've just done regular mirroring of all of the os and updates directories. I've never had to do the yum-arch stuff. On one occasion, for a 1-2 day period the header's were broken. However, what I've noticed since then, is that most of the mirror sites rebuild the headers on the site (if I rsync from multiple mirrors, I always end up grabbing the header.info file each time, because the timestamps are different). However, all that said, running yum-arch probably doesn't hurt anything.

I am using the smp kernel on 3 dual processor (p4 xeons with hyperthreading) servers and I am not having any problems. All are using 1gb or 2gb RAM and use the SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7899P U160/m.

I'll say outstanding. If you can afford it, switch from MegaRAID to Adaptec. The drivers are lot better quality and are better recognized. I have found that SuSE supports MegaRAID, lot better than RH, why? They detect it better. I had to use SuSE to support an older Dell with a customized version of a MegaRAID adapter, that none of the RHEL clones would discover. SuSE has a good track for supporting their software. SuSE still supports 7.3 [which is almost 4 years old]. -- Thanks From tom.brown@goodtechnology.com Wed Jun 16 16:14:41 2004 From: tom.brown@goodtechnology.com (Tom Brown) Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 16:14:41 +0100 Subject: [WBEL-users] performance of update 1 slow References: <0d0e01c45384$944031c0$0401a8c0@tomspc> <111197075.20040616071206@kamloopsbc.com> Message-ID: <101001c453b4$a5f7b6b0$0401a8c0@tomspc> OK - thanks all - I've updated to the megaraid2 driver, we are using this already on some new Dells with PERC4 cards but this particular machine is running a PERC2 I'll see how we get on but unless i get a decent improvement i think i'll have to go back to 7.3 for this particular machine.

Vincent, I'm not sure if you'll view it as cleaner or not, but the startup scripts run ifup runs ifup-post which at the bottom runs "/sbin/ifup-local", which passes as a parameter the device which you just ifup'ed. You could script it there (then the setting would be run every time, not just on boot). Otherwise, you might check in: /usr/share/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt The closest thing I've found that might work, is if you can set it via ethtool, there is an option: ETHTOOL_OPTS=... Any device-specific options supported by ethtool. For example, if you wanted to force 100Mb full duplex: ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" Note that changing speed or duplex settings almost always requires disabling autonegotiation with 'autoneg off'. Reading the mage page, there's nothing obvious that sets the txqueuelen, but it might be there under a different name that I don't recognize. Kirby > > thanks.

Get an external serial modem, those ALWAYS work. Otherwise, either an older (usually ISA) modem card with it's own controller is usually a safe bet.

Vulnerabilities found after June 30th 2004 will not be fixed any more for SUSE Linux 8.0. By consequence, the SUSE Linux 8.0 distribution directories on our ftp server ftp.suse.com will be moved to the /pub/suse/discontinued/ directory tree structure to free space after the recent availability of the new SUSE LINUX 9.1 ftp version; the 8.0 directories in the update trees will follow later in July/August 2004, as soon as all updates have been published. The discontinuation of SUSE Linux 8.0 enables us to focus on the SUSE LINUX distributions of a newer release date to ensure that our customers can continuously take advantage of the quality that they are used to with SUSE LINUX products. This announcement holds true for SuSE Linux 8.0 only. As usual, SUSE will continue to provide update packages for the following home users distributions: SuSE Linux 8.1 SuSE Linux 8.2 SUSE LINUX 9.0 and SUSE LINUX 9.1 for a two-year period after the release of the respective distribution. Please note that the maintenance cycles of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server products and products based on the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server operating system are not affected by this announcement. To learn more about SUSE LINUX business products, please visit http://www.suse.com/us/business/products/. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please do not hesitate to contact SUSE security at .

Presume you are referring to 2.6 kernels (e.g. Fedora Core 2) with selinux? Haven't seen anything specifically about selinux on WBEL, but there has been some discussion on the -users and -devel lists about 2.6 kernels in general: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&as_qdr=all&q=2.6+kernel+wbel+site%3Abeau.org&btnG=Search One school of thought is that if you are looking for a stable environment with WBEL, why throw a new kernel into the mix? During FC2 testing selinux was sufficiently problematic that FC2 was released with it turned off by default. If you want 2.6 why not try FC2? Others say they have had good results and improved performance with 2.6. > Anyway I¢m looking to being apart of this community and contributing > as I can. Welcome.

It appears that the data is coming in small bursts. It's the 905B. If you have revision C the problem goes away. I read recently (in the last week), someone said it had something to do with a bad interaction between kudzu and the 3C905B. We had the same problem here. The odd part, was it just "happened", after years of using the card. I just assumed it was the revision B was defective in some manner under Linux. We just swapped them out with cards in Windows boxes, and took the revision C's from windows and they worked fine. The way I know that's screwy, is that at one point at least, 3Com put out different drivers for the 3C905B versus the A's and C's.

RedHat releases a quarterly update ... and they make new ISOs available with the updates migrated in.  So that is what WBEL is calling a respin ... it is all the updates to 5/31/2004 already on the CD.  This is really good because on new installs because there are many fewer updates after the install on the first update ... and newer hardware drivers are provided.

If you already have installed WBEL, you can get updated by just using yum ... and you can download the Respin CDs for new installs.

Also, is x86_64 the right one for pentium range processors or is that intended for AMD or?

x86_64 is an AMD64 distro.

Actually, it's the second quarterly update. With the time involved in doing a respin, and the bandwidth strain when one comes out, John doesn't want to do them every 3 months. >>Also, is x86_64 the right one for pentium range processors or is that intended for AMD or? > x86_64 is an AMD64 distro.

Still working out exactly WHY, when the only change from the last known working version was whitebox-release (and of course new comps and rpmdb packages) but the important thing is that a workaround has been created. See the download page for a small 4.4MB .iso with a working boot image. New x86_64 ISOs will of course have to be released once a full understanding is achieved. p.s. I know everyone is asking why didn't I do a test install and catch this one? Of course my build host's DVD/CD writer had picked this last weekend to go unreliable. So I pushed the images across the network and burned a set, did an install on my i386 test box and ASSumed that since only three packages had changed I could skip suffering through an install on a balky CD reader. So when the replacement showed up today I did attempt a test install and started looking for a fresh brown paper bag. Happens every time ya don't TEST.

Vincent, I'm not sure if you'll view it as cleaner or not, but the startup scripts run ifup runs ifup-post which at the bottom runs "/sbin/ifup-local", which passes as a parameter the device which you just ifup'ed. You could script it there (then the setting would be run every time, not just on boot). Otherwise, you might check in: /usr/share/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt The closest thing I've found that might work, is if you can set it via ethtool, there is an option: ETHTOOL_OPTS=... Any device-specific options supported by ethtool. For example, if you wanted to force 100Mb full duplex: ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" Note that changing speed or duplex settings almost always requires disabling autonegotiation with 'autoneg off'. Reading the mage page, there's nothing obvious that sets the txqueuelen, but it might be there under a different name that I don't recognize. Kirby > > thanks.

Most the issues require a local user (so they aren't remotely exploitable) and are just denial of service. From my perspective, a kernel vulnerability that allows a local user to so easily disrupt services in this way is a high priority. You may not, but some of us have large numbers of local users depending on our environments needs. I'm not expecting RH Network speed updates, but to at least take this seriously is important. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ..... A flaw was found in Linux kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6 for x86 and x86_64 that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by triggering a signal handler with a certain sequence of fsave and frstor instructions. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0554 to this issue. Another flaw was discovered in an error path supporting the clone() system call that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory leak) by passing invalid arguments to clone() running in an infinite loop of a user's program. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0427 to this issue. Enhancements were committed to the 2.6 kernel by Al Viro which enabled the Sparse source code checking tool to check for a certain class of kernel bugs. A subset of these fixes also applies to various drivers in the 2.4 kernel. Although the majority of these resides in drivers unsupported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, the flaws could lead to privilege escalation or access to kernel memory. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0495 to these issues. All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum. These packages contain backported patches to correct these issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friday, June 18, 2004, 8:21:19 AM, you wrote: WW> could you post the text here on the list please?

I'm assuming he's got problems burning CD's. You can also use bootdisk.img to boot off of a floppy. You can do a hard drive install with that. I believe you have to use "expert" on the command line to get that as an option (I know that you have to for NFS and HTTP installs, maybe harddrive is a non-expert option). If you have two machines, you can do either an NFS or HTTP install via a floppy (I think), or via PXE booting (I've done that successfully, supposedly you can do it via a Windows NT/2K/XP machine if you know what you are doing). If your machine dhcp's it's network access you could probably do a network install straight off the a public site if you felt crazy enough. It's both a security risk, and will take a long while unless you have lots of bandwidth.

I think one of the biggest things is that it's convenient enough that the backups get done. We use rsync over ssh to backup a half-dozen machines to a single large hard drive. We wrote a little Perl program that translates command-line parameters into options, mounts the backup drive, and does preliminary checks... so it's pretty flexible and a no-brainer. We use hard drives mounted in a removable chasis, but being non-hotswap ATAs we have to power down the machine doing backups to change drives. For us this is not a problem. The nice thing has been random access to huge amounts of data for those rare but traumatic "oops" moments. :-) An example of the things that the backup program needs to track can be seen in test mode: [root@aspra root]# ./backup.remote --dev=/dev/hdd1 --mountpoint=/u1 --detail=2 --test sherizod Attempting to back up sherizod. Backup device is /dev/hdd1 Backup root directory is /u1 Compression is OFF Detail level is extensive Mounting is ON sherizod is REMOTE Good. /dev/hdd1 appears to already be mounted on /u1.

However, I value the work redhat has put in to Enterprise, and if they say reiserfs is a nogo so be it .. I needed to pull data from a failed reiserfs drive that I had been using under redhat 8.0. As has been previously mentioned here, failing reiserfs partitions are a dog - sometimes they can become unrecoverable. I pulled reiserfs.o from the unsupported kernel (using rpm2cpio, and cpio --extract) and insmod'ed it - it slipped right in. Mounted the reiserfs partition read-only, pulled the data off fine.

I installed PopTop [pptp VPN client] as a server using Windows XP & 98 clients on whitebox without any difficulty. I found the best setup was to have a private IP range for the server & clients with all normal internet traffic going the normal route for the clients, forwarding the whole connection resulted in some strange oddities when attempting to talk to the public address of the VPN server. The other thing to watch out for is that many ADSL firewall/routers can only handle one software VPN at a time - I've had problems with a D-link box that would only allow one of the users to access the VPN.

The logic of what kernel to install is done at install time by anaconda. Up2date (and yum for that matter) just update what you have installed when doing updates. Once you explicitly install the kernel-smp RPM you will get any newer versions down the road. -- William Hooper From cb@bo-mc.de Mon Jun 21 20:02:24 2004 From: cb@bo-mc.de (Carsten Boehlke) Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 21:02:24 +0200 Subject: [WBEL-users] appletalk?

Actually, it looks like hard drives would be less expensive in your situation. Assuming you have at least a half dozen tapes I get $1290 for drive plus six tapes. That works out to $215 per drive if you already have a firewire port or $210 if you need to pick up a card at Walmart. (The highest price you would likely pay for a PCI Firewire card.) You only have 80GB to backup so spring for a 200GB from a reputable online vendor for ~$140 and a firewire case for ~$50 and you still have budget for shipping. With the additional storage you can do rolling backups and be able to set your wayback machine farther into the past if you don't notice a mistake for a few weeks. One warning with firewire though. RH doesn't like Firewire, doesn't support it and didn't consider it a problem when FC2 shipped without Firewire support. You can make it work with WBEL3 but it is a fair bit of trouble and considering the upstream situation there are no promises it will remain working, especially come WBEL4. I'm speaking as someone with seven firewire drives in rotation as backup media and pondering options for the future. -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$ Free!

if it makes any difference, here is the system it's on:

this is duplicated with the old rhn/sources list as well as with the rpm.new one, with the fedora 2 i386 test-releases address, and with GPG on or off. nothing works. any ideas?

Earlier tonite I tried to use up2date to add a package and got a failure trail that ended with a failure to find libxml2-python. The machine had just been up2dated with the Respin1 packages a day or so ago, and did that upgrade without error through up2date. Rpm confirms that libxml2-python was NOT installed. Looking at the .spec it appears that Fedora's new up2date has grown an undocumented dependency. On a default install something else is pulling in libxml2-python, but not on a machine force upgraded from RH7.3. Just checked my FC2 install and it would be a bug there as well, making it a Fedora/RH bug. So bugzilla gets bug #126469 and if it nails anyone else here I'll issue a WB only fix; since I grafted FC2's version into WBEL any fixes to allow it to work with the RHEL codebase is inside the scope of WB. And looking at the long list of up2date bugs with the FC2 version and then considering my own problems running up2date under FC2 and also having tested updating WBEL a couple of times off the public mirror list I'm about ready to recommend reverting to a manually edited sources file listing a mirror known to have good connectivity to your location. The automirror scheme sounds good but so far it doesn't seem to actually be working very well for either FC or WBEL.

Geekcode 3.1:GCS C+++ UL++++$ P++ L+++ W++ w--- Y++ b++ 5+++ R tv- e* r I use USB 2.0 external drives for backup. This avoids any firewire problems, and they are fast enough (25-30 MB/s). Works like a charm, and very cheap: around 210€ for a 300GB Maxtor. Compared to tape handling, this is by far the better solution.

My mozilla started acting goofy, and wouldn't start. The window wouldn't start, the KDE menu bar showed the window, but it wouldn't open. Eventually, I got an alert window, that didn't render (it was just a grey box. Then Mozilla would die.

Now, although all users can still receive mail ( and thus authenticate when receiving), when they try to send out, the server fails to authenticate them even though I know that they have entries in sasldb2. I posted this question on other forums as well, and the only reply so far has something to do with the new version of sendmail that apparently has LDAP support compiled in, and LDAp also needs SASL to authenticate. What seems to have happened is that LDAP cannot work with SASL2, so that is supposedly why SMTP ( which worked fine with SALS2) does not work anymore... So, even though I know why it's not working, I still don't know how to fix this problem, since I don't know how to use SASL v1 instead of SASL2? I have both /usr/lib/sasl AND /usr/lib/sasl2.

It's logical garbage wrapped in condescending > language.) Years ago, when bandwidth was so expensive that you wanted to keep list traffic down it might have made sense to carry on all correspondence offlist and then post one summary to the list. Today all it does is create lots of back-channel help that never gets posted to the list to be helpful to others. We ran many lists for many years, and we found most list-owners preferred onlist conversation as long as it's ontopic; most of our list-owners preferred "Reply-to-list". We are using linux desktops, right ? If so, try KMail; you can "Reply-to-list" on any message, and even write directly to the list semi-automagically as well. And search through thousands of messages so quickly you'll never get a hot cup of coffee again . Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, nobaloney.net, P. O.

These certification programs attempt to fill that gap in the bureaucratic mind. Unfortunately it's also systemic in the government and schooling heirarchies, which creates an implied "need" in the populace at large. Will RH profit? Only in the same way that Microsoft profits from MSCE-style programs. I personally don't point my finger at RH for these programs; they're only responding to a demand for paper in the minds of many.

The job of a wrapper is to be not only setuid but also small enough so that you can manually verify what they do.

I don't remember exactly with config files were missing, but they we from sasl2.

The possible files are:

/usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
(it should say pwcheck_method: saslauthd)

/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
(it should say MECH=pam)

Then run:

alternatives --config mta

and set it to sendmail

In order to use PAM (ie, normal linux users with passwd / shadow usernames and passwords) as your SMTP authentication method, you MUST allow (and use) PLAIN text or Login as your Mail Client authenication method.

Hi List

I've recently installed Cyrus-Imap 2.2.3 with MailScanner and ClamAv on
my WB server and all was working 100% fine until yum installed the
latest version of sendmail (8.12.11).

Now, although all users can still receive mail ( and thus authenticate
when receiving), when they try to send out, the server fails to
authenticate them even though I know that they have entries in sasldb2.

I posted this question on other forums as well, and the only reply so
far has something to do with the new version of sendmail that apparently
has LDAP support compiled in, and LDAp also needs SASL to authenticate.
What seems to have happened is that LDAP cannot work with SASL2, so that
is supposedly why SMTP ( which worked fine with SALS2) does not work
anymore...

So, even though I know why it's not working, I still don't know how to
fix this problem, since I don't know how to use SASL v1 instead of
SASL2? I have both /usr/lib/sasl AND /usr/lib/sasl2.

Does anyone on this list have experience with resolving this issue?(I
saw related posts from a couple of months ago, but no resolutions)

Regards

I've had a similar problem with an NVidia card I have at home. I ended up just editting /etc/X11/XF86Config directly, added the resolution by hand, here's a sample of one that works for me at work: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection It fixed my problem. The screens a little fuzzier then it used to be, but I've got a Belkin KVM, and I figure I'm having trouble with it. That or I need to retune the X settings, I just haven't had time to fiddle with it. Kirby > > But it doesn't do anything.

(The one for CD-2 matches the value that is posted on the website)

Quite a few of the 2.6 kernel performance features have been backported to the RHEL/WBEL 2.4 kernel. There are some noticable differences. Under heavy IDE disk load, I notice the unresponsiveness typical to the 2.4 kernel, but it's *not* nearly as bad as a raw 2.4 kernel. I'll be doing more testing over the next couple of days, but overall I'm pretty impressed about the improvements. I've read here that at least one person is having luck with Firewire drives (I'll be testing myself in the next two days). Firewire is horribly broken according to my 2.6 kernel tests. I'm copying my workstation over to this brand new box with a fresh install of WBEL. So far so good. I'll really hammer the sucker tomorrow... oh... later today; it's 2am. If you must have the 2.6 kernel, I'd recommend downloading Fedora Core 2. Yes, it's bleeding edge and you'll likely cut yourself, but that's the difference between RHEL/WBEL and FC2... stability and polish. I've been on WBEL "for real" less than an hour and I can see many differences. I would call moving from FC2 to WBEL a positive step up at this point.

Close the CD-ROM and then click on OK. It will say that there isn't media there and to insert CD 2. Put the second CD in and then click on OK. You shouldn't have any more problems installing from there. There's something with this and VMWare (problem's with VMWare I think; see the "Forcing the Installer to Read the Second Installation CD" section in the link below). There's also another problem with VMWare and Whitebox (RH). You have to edit the "ifcfg-eth[n]" file to disable the cable check. Otherwise, you won't get a network connection (see the "Getting a DHCP Address in a Red Hat Linux 9.0 Virtual Machine" section in the link below). This explains everything: http://www.vmware.com/support/guestnotes/doc/guestos_redhat90.html#1128831 Also, in this support article, it says to install the system in text mode. I've installed a couple test systems in Graphical mode without any problems. The only thing is that once the install is done, log in and switch to "text" mode to install VMWare tools (open term window and type "init 3"). Reboot the system and you should be good to go. I've run WBEL on VMWare 4.0 and 4.5 without any problems. -----Original Message----- From: whitebox-users-admin@beau.org [mailto:whitebox-users-admin@beau.org] On Behalf Of Ron Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 10:56 PM To: whitebox-users@beau.org Subject: [WBEL-users] Need Help Need help.

I believe you will find in the Red Hat archives that it hasn't been able to install the last couple of versions correctly from physical CDs. IIRC the best workaround is to use the ISO files a "virtual CDs" to VMWare.

I found that RH patched the kernel VM to be less aggressive in cleaning dirty pages. You can make the kernel stable again by setting vm.inactive_clean_percent = 100 which is default upstream kernel behavior. Originally in RHEL it was set to 5% which caused the OOM killer to go nuts and kill off all the processes. I believe now they're moving to 30%, however, I still do not see the benefit of this extra factor they've added. Anyone else familiar with the reasoning behind it?

My workload is about to increase significantly, as is the size of my family :-), and I'm concerned that I won't have the time needed to stay on top of things with future versions of FC. I'm in the market for a flavor of Linux that I'm comfortable with and offers stability and updates for approximately 3 to 4 years. I have a couple of questions that I'd like to ask the group to head off any potential conflicts that I may get when doing a fresh installation of WBEL on two desktops. NVidia Cards: I have a "routine" that I have to do anytime I upgrade the kernel with FC1, and it looks like this ... CC="gcc32" sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run --add-this-kernel CC="gcc32" sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1-custom.run ... is this the proper routine for WBEL or is there an alternate method that I should do? Extras: I've installed via yum quite a few extras, such as tuxpaint, frozen bubble, gkrellm*, ogle*, kaffeine, player. Are you all getting these extras on WBEL via a particular repository using yum? (With FC there are a handful of repo's that everybody seems to use for extras, such as fedora.us and livna.org) Java and Flash: I'm a nut about checking the NOAA.gov weather animations and my family needs the Flash plug-in for Mozilla for things like Sesame Street and Playhouse Disney. The instructions I always used were those found at: http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc1/#Java http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc1/#Flash Will the same instructions work with WBEL? Lastly (and perhaps most importantly), I understand that WBEL is server-oriented. Would it be a good choice for me as a long-term (3-4 years) desktop for home desktop use, and at the office, where I regularly use MySQL/PHP for my own small database work, some Perl, and a lot of LaTeX? or would I be better served by maintaining my FC1 machines by moving to fedoralegacy for updates?

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run worked just fine for me on my NVidia 5200 on Whitebox. My only problem, is that I can't get the automatic tools to recognize that it can do a resolution higher then 800x600.

I personally, think that WBEL is a better platform for the desktop. It's what I use at home, because fedoralegacy really had no track record at the time I had to make a decision. To be fair WBEL didn't either, but I could just use the SRPMS to keep up to date if need by. My problem wasn't the software rebuilding, it was the testing and patching. It's highly stable, it's got security fixes on a pretty timely basis. If you really want bleeding edge features, WBEL might not be for you. You probably won't see MySQL 4.x or PHP 5.x on WBEL as a standard package. You probably won't see new major versions of PostGres on Whitebox. LaTeX works find under it (woohoo, another LaTeX user). My biggest problem with WBEL lately has been that I've had to recompile from scratch a lot of third party RPMS, because other then DAG, I can't find anyone who reliably releases a large number of RPM's for RHEL or WBEL. I really should pester the guy from FreshRPM's to see if he'd do it.

You could make your script owned by root and suid, allowing it to change permissions of /etc/shadow while it's running and updating /etc/shadow with new data. I'd suggest having it change it back to 0400 when it's done. Some security experts think suid is a bad way of doing things, primarily because the script is running AS ROOT, and anything that can make it crash can give the person running it root privs, but it might be the best option you have. The unix passwd command has suid permissions, and that's how it accomplishes said goal: -r-s--x--x 1 root root 16248 Dec 12 2003 /usr/bin/passwd Hope this helps, Shawn M.

For Java I took the SRPM from DAG en rebuilt it. Worked fine. I never did the step with the small bash script. So far my online banking works, which is all I need Java for.

I use Whitebox both on my personal laptop and two servers (one dev, one production running my domain and some other things) and find it quite flexible. It's stable, due to the backports of the 2.6 kernels it's fast enough and the updates are delivered very regularly, big attaboy for John! I too used Fedora before, but got tired of feeling like a guinea pig with stuff getting updated so fast I kept having dependency issues (ALSA not matching kernel, modem driver not matching kernel etc etc) and now all is happy. -- Jan-Albert van Ree | http://www.vanree.net/brickpiles/ VanReeDotNet IT Solutions | http://www.vanree.net GnuPG key | http://www.vanree.net/~javanree/publickey.asc From jamesk@ifm-services.com Wed Jun 23 16:40:47 2004 From: jamesk@ifm-services.com (James Knowles) Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 09:40:47 -0600 Subject: [WBEL-users] Considering White Box - Related Questions In-Reply-To: <40D98E9B.4060000@penguinsolutions.org> References: <40D98E9B.4060000@penguinsolutions.org> Message-ID: <40D9A47F.5000503@ifm-services.com> > server-oriented. ... as a long-term (3-4 years) WBEL/RHEL is geared towards a stable, long-term track for machines from desktops to servers.

The standard RH/WBEL Samba rpms have a chat string in their smb.conf for solving exactly this problem and they do it by calling out to passwd.

Next thing to do is post said chat string here so we can have a look. For reference the relavent two lines from my working config are (excuse me if this wraps): passwd program =3D /usr/bin/passwd %u=20 passwd chat =3D *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all= *authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*=20 Failing that there is a way to get Samba to dump the whole chat to the log files when it changes a password which might let you see any error messages coming back from passwd. This feature has the disadvantage of putting readable passwords into the log files, so Samba makes it quite difficult to turn it on so that you can't do it by accident; it is all in the docs though. This does all rely on you using Samba's encrypted password support and having a valid smbpasswd file; if you've not set that up yet then that's probably the trouble.

I've done many installs this way. SCSI card/driver detection seems like a separate issue that you'd either have or not have, regardless of whether you use vnc. My typical install method is pxeboot with a kickstart file that installs via NFS and setups up a vnc for the display. --- Jesse From j@lumiere.net Wed Jun 23 20:50:54 2004 From: j@lumiere.net (Jesse) Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 12:50:54 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [WBEL-users] Search a solution for virus scanners with postfixs In-Reply-To: <5190E6DF2243D6119CA300047573E7B472B21D@serrig.feltengmbh.de> References: <5190E6DF2243D6119CA300047573E7B472B21D@serrig.feltengmbh.de> Message-ID: <20040623125011.F83372@leaf.lumiere.net> On Wed, 23 Jun 2004, Stefan Sabolowitsch wrote: > I search for a good solution for a virus scanner and postfixs.

Unfortunately, I didn't consider that Firewire could be a problem. I had firewire support under 9.0 running like a top. Pretty much out of the box, firewire worked just fine on 9.0. It worked mostly fine with a bit of tweaking on an 8.0 and a 7.2 machine. Any clues what I need to do to get it working on WBEL3.0? I've go the modules loading on boot, but it fails to add the drive to /proc/partitions. It doesn't auto add and remove the drives like it does under RH9. It also appears to have plenty of errors in dmesg of this variety: ieee1394: sbp2: aborting sbp2 command Read (10) 00 06 02 4e 07 00 00 f8 00 Any clues on what I'm doing wrong. I load the same three modules: ohci1394 ieee1394 sbp2 I had to download and install rescan-scsi-bus.sh, and I run that manually to add and remove drives. I've compared /etc/hotplug from the RH9 backups and the current install, they appear the same. I've got 3 drives in rotation, and I've got a CompUSA instore brand card with a VIA 1394 chipset. Do I just need to fiddle with the ieee1394.agent script and add the appropriate rescan-scsi-bus.sh to the add and remove cases?

How to can the run the iptables-config script in the startup > system?? David, I didn't quite follow all that, so I'll describe how I'd do it: Get IP tables set just the way I like it (probably via a script I save in root's home directory). Delete the /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config script (I never knew it existed until your e-mail). Then run: service iptables save chkconfig iptables on Now, reboot. The last command is my guess as to what you are missing. chkconfig is a handy tool that you can use to have services be automatically started and stopped. Your firewall rules should now be configured just like you want. The file /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config appears like it needs to be a shell script. Where as /etc/sysconfig/iptables is the internal format you get out of using iptables-save/iptables-restore. > > Tahnk for all, > David > > > _______________________________________________ > Whitebox-users mailing list > Whitebox-users@beau.org > http://beau.org/mailman/listinfo/whitebox-users > From tom.brown@goodtechnology.com Wed Jun 23 21:34:29 2004 From: tom.brown@goodtechnology.com (Tom Brown) Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 21:34:29 +0100 Subject: [WBEL-users] Search a solution for virus scanners with postfixs References: <200406231609967.SM00740@jeffslaptop> Message-ID: <000b01c45961$7c27a810$320aa8c0@chewymix> i use amavisd-new along with clamav and SA with my postfix setup works a treat thanks > > There's also ClamAV..

It's low on resources (I only scan mails, using it system wide on all files is different) and was a piece of cake to set up. Simply added a line to sendmail.mc to configure sendmail to use clamav. Another plus is how it ties in with the logreport package, so I get proper reports every morning about which virii were coming in. Also the update system is very robust with many mirrors and updates are very frequent and timely. See http://www.clamav.net for more info.

I use MailScanner:

It allows you scan for Viruses and use Spam Assassin, and drop certain mail based on a Spam Assassin score.  It also allows you to use block lists like  relays.ordb.org, sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, etc.

I have played with the scripts but so far am still just manually doing the echo command manually because I have yet to find a working config that will 'just work'. It is all very touchy, a hot unplug is a BAD idea and if you don't get the modules loaded in exactly the right order it won't work at all until you remove all of them and try again.

Hi all,

I've been investigating on this segf= aults...

The problem only occurs when I use a 2.4.26 kernel (compiled on the wb box).  I need to recompile to add 3c515 NIC support.
The kernel compilation goes fine (sa= me config as others RHEL boxes here), the wbox reboots, but any process calling clone() (fork ?) go segfault.

BTW I can't recompile the wb source kernel, since the package is broken... event the latest 2.4.21-15.0.2. The make modules dies on fusion devices, then in the addon section...

Is there anyone here successfull in rebuilding the stock kernel as-is ?
And the 2.4.26 ?

Bye,
Mat.

I had problems recently on one machine I did an yum update one.  My
mozilla started acting goofy, and wouldn't start.  The window
wouldn't start, the KDE menu bar showed the window, but it wouldn't
open.  Eventually, I got an alert window, that didn't render (it was just a grey box.  Then Mozilla would die.  I didn't take the time
in order to track it down.  

yum erase mozilla
yum update mozilla

That solved my problem.  I think I also uninstalled a plugin or two, and re-installed those.  However, I think that was just
happenstance.

Then go to the directory and copy the appropriate file from the config directory to .config. Now run make oldconfig make dep bzImage modules modules_install I'm sure there is a more automated (grubby?) way, but manually you need these steps: Copy arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-{version} Copy System.map to /boot/System.map-{version} If you need an initrd (SCSI controller, etc) run mkinitrd. Frob your bootloader (lilo or grub) Note that your custom kernel will probably have -custom as part of the name unless you manually edit the Makefile.

Yup, the install process would have prompted you for a root password and not continued until you gave it one. I'd guess that in all the fuss with kudzu that firstboot never ran the first time you successfully booted, else it would have prompted you to also setup a different username and password for everyday use. You should only use the root account for major administration tasks. In your case it looks like you are going to have to login as root at least long enough to create an account. Open a terminal (System Tools/Terminal) Use adduser [username you want] to create the account. It might let you get away with something different, but stick to all lowercase letters or numbers for a username or you will end up regretting it later. Then use passwd [username] to set a password for the account. Log out and try logging in as "you". If you can't remember the root password you gave during install you have two choices. a) reinstall b) Boot into rescue mode, let it mount your filesystem and use the suggested (it will give it onscreen) command to chroot into your installed system. Once there use the passwd command to set a new root password. -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$ Free!

Why use a standard kernel? One reason could be you want to convert your machines into a load-balancing cluster (see http://www.mosix.org), or you need special patches (like the PM_TIMER patch together with amd76_pm).

Why use a standard kernel? One reason could be you want to convert your machines

It is true, in very special cases, that someone might need to compile a generic kernel for their installation.  Here is what RedHat thinks about a paying customer who does that:

There's a lot of sysadmin stuff I don't know. I looked at the source file and have an idea what I'm looking at. That's very interesting. I'm playing with this right now via systcl. The machine is under heavy disk load. It certainly has changed the machine's behaviour! Thanks again.

Once there use the passwd command to set a new root password. Yep, I'd recommend reinstalling the system. However you could always at the LILO/GRUB prompt give "linux init=/bin/sh" without needing a rescue CD. Then type passwd, change the root passwd, useradd normal user account, then use the sysrq keys to remount the paritions read-only, sync the disks and reboot.

My preferred method is to as root type "XFree86 -configure" which will create a file called XF86Config.new or something to that effect in the current directory. Then you can run "XFree86 -xf86config XF86Config.new" and hopefully it will have autoprobed some modes. Then again Phil's advice is probably a bit easier.

Agree with Johnny that adding a 2.6 kernel to WBEL is likely to be problematic; however, before moving to FC2, please be aware that selinux has not been highly stable there, and that Fedora is not intended for production machines, although it is being used for such. FC2 is still rather bleeding-edge so be sure to look (fedora-list, fedora-test-list, http://fedoranews.org/, http:// www.fedorafaq.org/) before you leap. OTOH, I'm running FC2 (selinux disabled) for desktop, notebook, and home machines without too much blood on the floor, but sticking with WBEL for servers. YMMV.

Yep, it certainly was not the most well thoughtout hack I've ever seen. I heard some rumors that the tuning was done to make Oracle jobs return faster but it definitely will cause the Out of Memory (OOM) killer to go ballistic and make the system unusable under heavy I/O. In order to get roughly the same behavior as upstream kernel source set it to 100%. I doubt if you'll notice performance decrease. It's not worth any performance gain to me to have the possibility of the kernel starving itself. Just my two cents (many sleepless nights fighting this issue ;).

I've noticed another of your e-mails and am uncertain if X is installed on your system.

While this makes a apparently a new mail the message i.d. of the original message remains in the headers. SO at the receiver end the message appears in middle of another chain of messages if the threaded view is on. Try using threaded viewing and you will see the benefits of this. Simply start a new mail and put in your topic then all mails in reply will follow the new thread that you have started.

i am not sure about open imap directly. Have you think in a vp n?, they
can connect using VPN from home.
From webmail, if you want to use imap, take a look at squirrelmail
(google for it :-D ), or if you want to provide pop3 (wich i like
better) , then you can use openwebmail.org (it will let you set up a
frontend and then add pop3 account for remote retrieval of the messages).
I higly reccomend using a SSL site for webmail.

Do you know of a way to convert mail from Netscape? I've recently converted from XP/Netscape 7.1 to WBEL/Ximian 1.4.

You can then setup your new client with the same IMAP server and drag and drop them back to a local file. It's worked for me in the past although I haven't tried it with the clients you're using.

You would have a problem with SquirrelMail in that it only allows you to 
have one backend IMAP server for the entire site / implementation. The 
work around would be to have 3 different copies of SquirrelMail sitting 
around.
I thought that 3 separate installs in different directories would be required for squirrelmail.

IMP+Horde ( better webclient, IMO ), can have user specific server settings.
I haven't setup IMP+Horde, but I have seen it.  It does look very good.

btw, in this situation, wont Outlook WebAccess work ?

In this scenario, even An easier way of doing something like this ( well, easier to maintain anyway ) would be to setup ip/port forwarding on the gateway machine. Then setup 3 different ports that people can use. eg. to login to machine-1 you could use http://publicIP:8081/ for machine-2 you can have http://publicIP:8082/ and finally you can have http://publicIP:8083/ for machine-3. Then just setup inward port forwarding. What firewall are you using ? If you let us know, I am sure someone should be able to guide you on how to setup something like this. You might want to keep in mind, that in such a case the OWA interface is going to be exposed on-line to anyone who wants to look at it. Lastly, (phew!) another options : setup Squid to do reverse proxy for you. You can build in some Authentication at the gateway then. Plus ( arguably ) squid has a smaller footprint than Apache. - K -- Karanbir Singh http://www.karan.org/ ICQ : 2522219 - Yahoo IM : z00dax GnuPG Public Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc From erik@cpsc.ucalgary.ca Mon Jun 28 15:24:56 2004 From: erik@cpsc.ucalgary.ca (Erik Williamson) Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2004 08:24:56 -0600 Subject: [WBEL-users] Red Hat GFS Message-ID: <40E02A38.80602@cpsc.ucalgary.ca> Hi, I saw in slashdot yesterday that Red Hat is releasing GFS (http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/) to the masses.

I know it sounds not reasonable, and I agree, but right now this is exactly the way it is working. Exchange HAS a public IP and it is not protected by any firewall (crazy?? yes it is). So people go to the web page and log in. My boss wants to keep it as easy as it is now for users, so teaching people to connect to the right server is not going to happen. To stay easy I have to give people one only address (the apache server with reverse proxy) and then make users insert login in the first page and being redirect to the right OWA. This way I think is the easiest one (we have around 250 users so I am confident Apache wouldn't be too stressed even on a medium hardware), and can put the web server behind the cisco pix 525 firewall. On the other hand, sendmail will be the front end for delivering incoming messages to the exchange servers users mailboxes, where users connect from the inside VPN directly via Microsoft Outlook. Does it make sense to you? Not sure I have been able to explain myself. There are things here I cannot change (right now ;-) ), and I have to move carefully in this battle. Any opinion, suggestion / correction very appreciate.

No matter which platform one uses it on - -- Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc. -- it works the same way. I have been very pleased with how easy it is to copy over my Mozilla mail files to a different platform and have them just work. Indeed, it isn't even that hard to copy over one's entire Mozilla profile and, with some fixes to the prefs.js file, have it work. Daniel J. Summers wrote: - --- > Do you know of a way to convert mail from Netscape? I've recently > converted from XP/Netscape 7.1 to WBEL/Ximian 1.4. I was able to - --- Netscape (Mozilla) stores e-mail to the hard disk in what is called the "mbox" format. This format is where every 'folder' you see in the Mozilla/Netscape client is a file on your hard drive with that same name. That one file contains all the messages for that mail 'folder'. I'm never used Ximian, so I don't know whether it uses the mbox format or the usual alternative, called the "maildir" format. (This is where each 'folder' in the client is a directory on your hard disk, and each message in the folder is a file in the directory.) However, according to this web page: , "Evolution connects to a wide variety of servers such as Pop, Imap, standard unix mbox spool or directory, maildir format mail directories, MH – format mail directories, Local Delivery." Thus, it appears that you should be able to copy your Mozilla/Netscape mbox files over to the directory where Ximian Evolution is looking for them, and it should just work. (Ha ha, famous last words.) On a Windows XP machine, the Mozilla/Netscape mbox files are usually stored in C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\{random}.slt\Mail\Local Folders Unfortunately, since I haven't used Ximian Evolution, I cannot tell you where the files need to go.

Thanks in advance! http://nagios.org I've used nagios. It's highly configurable in what it can monitor (if you can write a script that returns 0, 1, 2 for various conditions it can be monitored). There are some things that really annoy me about it's configuration that ends up being a lot of hand work in order to configure some alerts to be e-mail only, some to be pagers and mail, and some of them to be only pages during normal waking hours. That's really annoying. Other then that, I really like it. Not sure if it works under Windows (never seen a Windows client), but it can monitor ports and ping the machine. It has a module to integrate with SNMP and traps, but I've never used that either. Dan Wieers (DAG) has some pre-built binaries. The only irritating thing about the pre-built binaries, is that they package a lot of odd ball things together, so if you want "fping" monitoring, you have to have the RADIUS client libraries installed, even though you don't care about RADIUS monitoring. http://www.bb4.org/ This one, I've heard nice things about, but I've never used it. Just mentioning it so you can read up on it if you like it. I think this has a GPL'ed clone named "Little Sister", but I can't seem to find it on Google.

If it is running as root/mail, it will generally have write permissions to the mail spool directory already, so regular users don't need any permissions other than rx (or maybe even just x). If the delivery is running as the user, world will need wx permissions to the directory, though it is just rwx in most configurations. Since it is undesirable for a user to delete/replace another user's mailbox, the directory is also set sticky - this is also usually the write permissions for /tmp since similar considerations apply. If you are somehow concerned about letting the MDA run as root/mail, and you don't want a world writable mail spool, you can also try configuring the MDA to deliver mail to ~user/.email or something similar instead, but that opens up another can of worms.

The reason for this is that RHEL backports patches to the software for stability reasons. Since WBEL is using the same set of patches, the same backporting should be occuring in WBEL as well.

Most likely you will find that it has been fixed in the newest errata. I just scanned the server with Nessus and here is the result: 1. Remote SSH version : SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 (Nessus detected this version). 2. You are running a version of OpenSSH which is older than 3.7.1 (Nessus sugguest to upgrade to 3.7.1) Versions older than 3.7.1 are vulnerable to a flaw in the buffer management functions which might allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on this host. An exploit for this issue is rumored to exist. Note that several distribution patched this hole without changing the version number of OpenSSH. Since Nessus solely relied on the banner of the remote SSH server to perform this check, this might be a false positive. If you are running a RedHat host, make sure that the command : rpm -q openssh-server Returns : openssh-server-3.1p1-13 (RedHat 7.x) openssh-server-3.4p1-7 (RedHat 8.0) openssh-server-3.5p1-11 (RedHat 9) Solution : Upgrade to OpenSSH 3.7.1 See also : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=106375452423794&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=106375456923804&w=2 Risk factor : High CVE : CAN-2003-0682, CAN-2003-0693, CAN-2003-0695 BID : 8628 Other references : RHSA:RHSA-2003:279-02, SuSE:SUSE-SA:2003:039 regards..

I'm running WBEL on my workstation, with the "workstation" install. I've installed the latest updates. I've done very minimal customization to the system, just the common stuff (set up hostname, network, etc.) as well as 1) install VMWare, 2) install a dev tool (Kylix 3), and 3) install Mozilla 1.7 to /usr/local, leaving the Mozilla RPM intact. I simply put /usr/local/mozilla/bin first in PATH to "override" the default Mozilla. (I'm using a more recent feature.) I'm using the default window manager and am seeing odd behaviour when I try to drag a window. I noticed this morning that if I go into Start Here -> Preferences -> Windows and do *nothing* except click close, the bad behaviour goes away until I log out. It comes back when I log back in. Any ideas? There are two variants. The common one happens maybe 95% of the time. After the uncommon one happens a time or two, the common variant resumes it reign of annoyance. :-) The common variant: 1) Click and hold the title bar. [OK] 2) Move mouse. [Expecting to drag but nothing happens; window in original place] 3) Release mouse. [nothing happens] 4) Click elsewhere on the screen [window jumps as if I had dragged it to the place I clicked] The uncommon variant: 1) Click and hold the title bar. [OK] 2) Move mouse around.
