RH 7.0->7.3 upgrade
by Richard Goodman 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

I have four RH servers, two 7.0 and two new 7.3 servers just put up last 6 weeks or less How painless would an upgrade of the older servers from 7.0->7.3 be? Any surprises I should know about? Any comments or advice? I've never done a version upgrade before. I already have a CD with the most important security upgrades I used on the 7.3 servers after I had worm (Slapper/Cinik) problems.

Not what you want. raidhotremove /dev/md0 /dev/hde1 raidsetfaulty /dev/md0 /dev/hde raidhotremove /dev/md0 /dev/hde Repartition hde correctly, the partition table will have been corrupted. raidhotadd

duplicate entry in mdstat with RAID-5 (fwd)
by Karl Hiramoto 18 Oct '02

18 Oct '02

Can someone please help me fix this problem? I don't know if my data is safe at the moment. I have double entries for hde1 and hde in /proc/mdstat. The problem arose when i did a raidhotadd for /dev/hde then again for /dev/hde1. Doh. Is this a problem? How do i fix it?

usb 2.0 backward compatable? yes?
by Wesley Allen 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

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

Old RAM (OT)
by Tim Trachimowicz 14 Oct '02

14 Oct '02

Hey folks! Since you're probably the biggest group of people I know that might have unused hardware floating around, I figured I'd see if you guys can help me out. I'm searching for some RAM for an older PC I have. Specifically, it's 66mhz SDRAM for a Compaq Deskpro that I'm trying to turn into something useful. Anyways, I was wondeirng if any of you guys might have a DIMM or two flaoting around that's gathering dust (I'll pay you for it) or might know where I can find some on the cheap, before I hit up any of the big guys that I know have the RAM (but at a premium price). Thanks, Tim

Cinik worm (mod_ssl)
by Richard Goodman 13 Oct '02

13 Oct '02

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

Installfest Media...

So currently I've got ISO's for Redhat 7.3/8.0 and Mandrake 8.0 (disks 1 and 2, but not the 3rd internationalization disk) What other distributions would people like me to make some copies of? Also, I'm going to put together my obligatory Disk-o-everything. As a side note, I personally think it would be cool if we could have a repository of WLUG goodies, but I know there'd be some logistics around that. So far this is what's going to be on it.

rpm build error
by Bill Mills-Curran 11 Oct '02

11 Oct '02

I just rebuilt apache from the RH 8.0 source rpm. The compilation succeeded, but the rpm failed with the following error message: Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /home/bcurran/tmp/rpmBuild/httpd-root error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types /usr/bin/apr-config /usr/bin/apu-config /usr/lib/APRVARS <snip-more files> RPM build errors: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /etc/httpd/conf/mime.types /usr/bin/apr-config /usr/bin/apu-config /usr/lib/APRVARS <snip-more files> Neither the modified source nor the binary rpm were generated. It looks like these files made it into the temporary install area just prior to generating the packages, and they should not have been there. Is there an option I should be using to make the install tree "right"? I know I can modify the spec file to wildcard include everything in the install directories, but that doesn't seem right. My command: "rpmbuild -ba httpd.spec". TIA, Bill

Future WLUG meeting dates posted
by Andy Stewart 11 Oct '02

11 Oct '02

HI Everybody, I've just posted the meeting dates for the first half of 2003 on the WLUG website. I've also extended an invitation to Jon 'Maddog' Hall to come to speak at a future WLUG meeting, and he has accepted our invitation. He'll visit during our February 20, 2003 meeting. Maddog travels alot and there was no way I could get him to come sooner (we tried). Remember that the Install Fest is only 2 weeks away! I haven't received any e-mails from prospective installees, but that doesn't surprise me since we still have 2 weeks until the event. Nonetheless, please start telling people about this event - advertise it on the WPI campus and tell all your friends! Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Also, it should be noted that whatever version of fetchmail you've got on your machine, your going to want to upgrade it ASAP. A couple buffer overruns (via malformed mail) were just reported the other day...

Fetchmail will use POP or IMAP to get your mail from a remote host and deposit it locally (using whatever local mail setup you have... I think it delivers to your local SMTP). Just make a .fetchmailrc with your servers/passwords and you're in business. "man fetchmail" for more info. -Chuck _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

loading modules
by Bill Mills-Curran 09 Oct '02

09 Oct '02

I have a situation where I need to use a non-standard kernel module in place of one that comes with the RedHat 8.0 distribution, and I'd like to know the "right" way to achieve this. The module is a device driver for a Qlogic fibre host bus adapter. The reason for the special module is that the one that RedHat supplies does not handle all the fibre configurations we (EMC) need for an EMC/Clariion array. Here's what I've done thus far. 1. I have written an rpm to build the module from source and install it. I have given the module a unique name so it won't conflict with the kernel rpm file. 2. Once installed, I can run depmod, rmmod (on the old module) and modprobe (on the new module). (If I reboot, I don't need to run depmod.) Everything looks fine at this point, and I know I could put the appropriate commands (rmmod & modprobe) into /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but I'm wondering if there is something cleaner. One thing I tried (with no success) was to modify /etc/modules.conf **************** Old: alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2200 New: alias scsi_hostadapter1 newmodule **************** I thought that this was the line that was making the standard module (qla2200) load. I found that qla2200 loaded even after my change, and the newmodule did not load. Suggestions? TIA, Bill

X tricks
by brad 09 Oct '02

09 Oct '02

Hi All, I was wondering if there is a way to create a window that would be a tunnel into another X server. For example if i'm running a server on :0 and on :1, i would like to have a window, which is connected to :0, that would show what is being displayed on :1. This is similar to how vmware works. When you start vmware in window on :0 it will actually start another X server on :1 and display (in a window) the contents on :1. Is this possible (other then with vmware)? Thanks, --brad

samba thanks & xmms Q
by Bill Mills-Curran 07 Oct '02

07 Oct '02

First, thanks to those who sent suggestions on how to solve my samba configuration problems. My Win98 box is happily using file and print shares from my linux box. (Too bad SANE does not have drivers for the scanner cartridge on my Canon printer. <sigh>) A new question. I tried getting the equalizer on xmms to control the output while playing audio CD's (not MP3's). The volume control on the main window works, and the playlist window works, but the equalizer doesn't. What's the trick? TIA, Bill

Email Addresses & Spam
by Marc Hughes 07 Oct '02

07 Oct '02

Is there any way of getting the email addresses in our mailing list archive removed? I've been getting a bunch of spam lately to hughesm(a)tomsnyder.com ... I just figured out that it was coming from a web spider (the damned fools attached their mailing list to the spam, and it said where it was from!) and the only place I can find that address posted is on the WLUG pages. Archive: http://mail.wlug.org/pipermail/wlug/ Anyone else get the "BUSINESS ASSISTANCE" from "kabila [lmkcg(a)yahoo.com]" a bunch of times today? -Marc

RE: [Wlug] Samba Server and its connection with Windows 98.

As a former Tech Support Slave, tinkering with the registry of any Microsoft product is akin to hand editing your compressed kernel image... I'm not saying you can't do it, I just wouldn't.. Plus, any encryption (even microsoft) encryption is better than no encryption any day... Add this line in the global section of your smb.conf file and the world will be a happier place. encrypt passwords = yes Oh, and this works with every version of windows... Later, Tim. -----Original Message----- From: Aramico [mailto:aramico@duahati.com] Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 23:39 PM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] Samba Server and its connection with Windows 98. Hi all, Well, may be somebody of you need this information, if not u can ignore it... ;p Well, samba server and its connection to Windows 9* basicly only need this configuration done. It works fine with me here, RedHat 7.2 and its default application ( Including Samba ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- When u install and configuring samba, u must be defining this main several configuration bellow..... 1. Defining the network address to be allowed accessing the Samba Server. 2. Defining the WORKGROUP name. Simply, use the same network address with unique host address in order to estabilsh the connection. for ex :192.168.24.X, u can use this network address and define the -X as host ip. So, by this u got to make the sama workgroup among your server and your client ( Windows 98 ) Please make sure that the user who wants to use the samba server are listed in your server. Instantly, there is a simple registry modification in Windows family, here I'll tell you in case of WINDOWS 98. After finishing the ethernet card, there must be a logon box to be diplayed before you use your windows 98. Here, at the folder defined bellow, create EnablePlainTextPassword and fill 1 as the value. Details : Regedit My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP\En ablePlainTextPassword (DWORD value =1) Restart your windows, then in logon box, enter your Linux|Unix users with its password. U will get your defined shared folder which Linux|Unix define it to shared, Have a nice day..... For more detail, please feel free to ask me about.... I'll just tell u somethin' that I know...... bye there and have a nice day........ - Aramico -
