spam attack
by avedis＠ma.ultranet.com
I just received some porn spam that has wlug address as the return
address. Should I just ignore and delete, forward to spamcop, or does
someone here want to deal with the spammer personally? Looks like it
came from 194.143.190.11. This shit should be illegal.
Awaiting further instructions...

What are Lindows and Lycoris?
by Andy Stewart
HI all,
Walmart is selling ultra-cheap PCs with Lindows on them (the PC is by
Microtel). The screen shots look alot like KDE. Lindows makes software
available for download on their website (the apps, not the OS) for a fee.
I've also seen Lycoris, and on their website, they make passing references to
Redmond Linux.
So, I ask the question, are these just some version of Linux "packaged for the
masses"? If not, what are they? Are there other similar products besides
Lindows and Lycoris?
Thanks,
Andy

Lilo :-)
by doug waud
Hi all
On the TV lately I have heard a lot about Lilo. It
seems to be in the context of something called Stitch.
I am not clear on the details but Stitch apparently is
some sort of extraterrestial with a bent to destroying
everything it encounters. I assume the reference is,
therefore, to Microsoft.
The interesting thing about Lilo is that it never seems
to be spelled LILO. The first letter is captialized so
I assume there is some degree of case sensitivity involved.
If any of you can decipher what all of this means perhaps
you could fill me in! :-)
I do notice that Disney seems to be involved so it would
seem that Pixar is not the only place Linux seems to
be making inroads.

RE: [Wlug] Installing Redhat on HP machines
by Hemstreet, Jeffrey
Thank you all for your help.... just wanted to let you know the outcome
of the installs...
On the HP Vectra, there appears to be some hardware issues, as Windows 2K
boot floppy fails with a Boot I/O Error. This machine has been suspect,
and I will probably scavenge it for parts (CD, Memory) (It has had some
intermittent problems finding the HDD.)
On the HP Kayak..... it's UP! I downloaded the new boot disk image from
the email below, and the install ran without a hitch. It must not like the
7.2 standard boot image since it failed both from the install disk and
from the boot floppy I made straight from the CDROM. (This was a CD burned
from the WLUG installfest in February and it has installed faithfully on
about a dozen machines.)
Thank you again.

Have you tried booting the latest errata install disks? You can get
them here:
ftp://angus.ind.wpi.edu/pub/updates/7.2/en/os/images/i386/boot.img
ftp://angus.ind.wpi.edu/pub/updates/7.2/en/os/images/i386/update-disk-200201
17.img
Make sure you rawrite/dd them to brand new floppy disks, since if there
is even a single byte error on the floppy disk, the install will fail.
Boot the first one (boot.img) and see below...

It depends. Does the signal 11 always happen at exactly the same point?
If so, that doesn't necessarily point to flakey hardware, but rather a
software bug. If it IS random, then it does sound like a memory error.
You can test your RAM with memtest86, available here:
http://www.memtest86.com/
Another thing you can try is making sure the amount of memory is
detected correctly by Linux (check the boot up messages of the Linux
kernel). If not, you can force the correct amount by appending the mem
option to the linux boot command line:
linux updates mem=56M
You need the "updates" bit to use the update-disk mentioned earlier.
Insert the updates disk when it asks.

Bad floppy disk and/or CD-ROM? How did you acquire your Red Hat 7.2
CD-ROM? If it isn't an official disk, then it might have been burned
incorrectly. Red Hat recommends burning ISO's in Disk-At-Once mode, and
checking the images and disks with md5sum to be sure they burned
correctly.

Installing Redhat on HP machines
by Hemstreet, Jeffrey
I am having a problem installing Redhat 7.2 on 2 different HP machines. I
thought I might be
able to get some information from the plethera of people who have done
installs. Or any ideas
on what to do next?
One is an HP Vectra (2Gb IDE, 56MB, P200). I can fdisk and select packages,
but when it goes to
format the disk to install the packages, I get a signal 11 fatal error. I
think there may be something
flaky with this system (HDD or memory problem?) Just wondering if anyone
else has seen this type
of failure and could give me any more insight. I plan on replacing the HDD
to see if that is the problem.
The other is a dual-300 PII HP Kayak with a SCSI Drive. I get a boot error
when trying to boot from the
CDROM or Install Disk. This system is currently running NT 5. Any ideas
why the boot would fail?
Thanks,

RE: [Wlug] Who is port scanning me?
by Simoncini, Matthew
Hi again,
Over the weekend, I received some "creative" feedback and all of it is
appreciated. Why question was intended to find an easy way to track down the
owner of an IP address within our corporate network (unregistered with
DNS/WINS). Not to hack, crack, spam, or DOS them, but to gain information on
that particular node. I have to bring this IP address to the attention of
our Security Team, but wanted more information to give them.
Given all the feedback, it seems easier just to contact the Security Team
and let them figure this out.
Thanks again for your time.
Matthew

Chances are the machine that is performing the portscan is hacked himself.
It does no good to "hack them back" because your not hacking the
hackers...your hacking the hack. :-) On top of that, you'll only cloud
the issue and, if the matter is taken to the authorities, you could also
get in trouble.
Not to mention the entire concept of hacking without authorization is
unethical and illegal.
I'm going to go say its not worth it. This does happen constantly if your
connected to the Internet. Your best offense is a good defense.

fsck, segmantation fault, etc.
by Baris Hasdemir
Hi,
I bought a new hard drive, Maxtor 7200 RPM, ATA133, 40GB, and began
using it at ATA100.
I formatted my /dev/hda5 with mkfs.ext2 and mounted it under /home. I
have been using this mount with the Slackware 8.0 at /dev/hda6 for
several days without any problems.
Two days ago I installed Slackware8.1 on /dev/hda8 and used the same
device mounted to /home. (/dev/hda5)
Yesterday under root privileges I attempted to delete a user's two big
files, and got the following error (or warning, I don't know):
root@penguen:/home/avci# rm more_than_700MB_files*
EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_free_blocks: Freeing blocks not

-rw-r--r-- 1 avci misafir 3394 Jun 17 16:44 .screenrc
However, rm deleted the files. But I couldn't understand the warning.
And then, just because of curiosity I tried to copy one of the same big
files from another partition to the same location, and cp gave out
those:
root@penguen:/home/avci# time cp /mnt/hda10/one_of_the_big_files .

sys 0m7.330s
And then of course I did a couple of fsck on this partition after
unmounting. first one quitted after several error correcting, second
fsck did segmentation fault but the last one did finish fsck. and lots
of error were corrected.
It might give an idea
if I mount it like this
#mount /dev/hda5 /home
file names appear as $@#$#%#$ etc.
but if I mount it like that
#mount /dev/hda5 /home -t ext2
no problem seem to occur.
I am thinking about whether I did something missing at the fdisk stage
or formatting stage. Or is my new hard disk a dead-born? Or any other
things you may notice?
thank you,
baris
