usb 2.0 backward compatable? yes?

by Wesley Allen

Hi gang, I did some research on whether or not usb 2.0 card (pci and pcmcia) would work with the 2.4 kernel. If I read right, the answer is yes, they will be seen as usb 1.0 and be able to use those drivers. Is this correct? Now, if I've got problem with my stupid bios not assigning a correct irq on my built-in usb controller, will this issue pan over to a pcmcia card as well? I've got no problem getting a new card for doing this, as I'd eventually want to have usb 2.0 devices come the 2.6 (3.0?) kernel anyway. I'd just be doing it sooner (and if mandrake figures out how to circumvent my bios, I'll have 4 or 6 ports! :-) ). Wes

Cinik worm (mod_ssl)

by Richard Goodman

I have two rather new RH7.3 servers, which I installed without any patches (dumb- had never installed patches before). A couple of weeks ago both got infected with [different] strains of the Cinik (mod_ssl) worm. On machine "A" I shut down Apache for about a week, and left "B" running. On 10/5/02 I downloaded and installed RH patches for apache, bind, glibc, openssh, openssl, php and mod_ssl on both machines. I deleted the cinik stuff from /tmp. Machine "B" has been worm-free since. Cinik reappeared on machine "A" overnight last night -- process running and the usual suspect files back in /tmp. I happened to look in /var/log/cron (on the subject of cron I am rather clueless) and saw the following suspicious entries in the time frame when I believe the worm reappeared: Oct 13 05:20:00 archive3 CROND[25572]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg) Oct 13 05:20:00 archive3 CROND[25573]: (root) CMD (/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1) Oct 13 05:25:00 archive3 CROND[25577]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg) Oct 13 05:26:34 archive3 crontab[25622]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:27:00 archive3 crond[858]: (apache) RELOAD (cron/apache) Oct 13 05:27:29 archive3 crontab[25630]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:27:29 archive3 crontab[25635]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:27:29 archive3 crontab[25640]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:27:29 archive3 crontab[25645]: (apache) REPLACE (apache) Oct 13 05:28:01 archive3 crond[858]: (apache) RELOAD (cron/apache) Oct 13 05:30:00 archive3 CROND[25666]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg) Oct 13 05:30:00 archive3 CROND[25667]: (root) CMD (/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1) Oct 13 05:35:00 archive3 CROND[25670]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg) Any suggestions as to what the log entries mean (i.e. who did what to Apache?), and why cinik has reappeared? Also, can someone point me towards a resource about cron so that I may become less clueless? Thanks, Dick
