According to the mail headers you are sending this message from a Windows95 box. Attached to this mail came also the virus Happy99.exe!! Please remove the virus from your machine!!

Simulating viruses with wine (this is totally serious;-)
Hi folks, after someone has obviously tried to distribute the happy99.exe (nice try, by the way ;-), I just thought this might be the right time to ask something about wine. As a matter of fact I have two viruses stored as files ( I did not run them though ;-) and I am rather curious to see what they *would* do if I ran them. Is there perhaps a way of finding out when running them with wine ? I guess this cannot damage anything but perhaps I finally know what they were supposed to do. So if anyone has any idea, please drop a few lines. Tassilo

I wish I'd thought of that... Gonna hafta try it and find out, on a standalone box. My first guess would be that wine would dump, but until it's tried, we won't know.

Help with bootp
I am running Debian Slink fully updated. I am working on hooking up an Xterminal to the network. I am using the bootp server as nothing more then a nfs server so it does not have bind installed on it. I have my other machine maped as the firwall, bind, isp conection and home directory. I have a very basic configuration in the bootptab file and have tftpd and bootpd installed in the inet.conf file. For some reason I do not get the bootp system to even load when I boot the Xterminal. I have even gone as far as trying to load it from the command line to no success. No error messages (that I have found) have come up. I have configured other bootp servers before so I am not a real newbe to this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks for the help. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org

That way quite a few files can be stored in the file system cache and won't have to be read off the disk.

(He IS using windows, after all). Indeed, the "beauty" of happy99 is that it inserts itself into winsock and then intercepts all attempts to connect to port 119 or 25 and replaces the body of a normal piece of mail with itself. It takes no coercing to do its thing -- it just waits for the victim to send mail or post to lusenet and hijacks the post. The most annoying feature is that you can't merely discard the item, since the sender thinks they sent something and will screeam bloody murder if you drop their infected mail.

logparser?
I was just wondering if there was a recommended script to use for
parsing your nightly logs and mailing yourself a report. I see root
gets these little reports about cracklib and setuid changes and so
forth. Is there a more extensive script or set of scripts one can use
that anyone can recommend? I've read through
/etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} and see what's in there. I'm just
looking for something a little more extensive.
Also, /etc/cron.daily/standard has some "find -name 'blah' -xargs blah"
stuff that is commented out because of a security problem with find.
Did this ever get worked out? Is there a newer version of find that
doesn't contain this problem the standard script talks about?

/dev/eth0 missing
I just installed potato, and installed the NE2000 driver (ne) for my ethernet card. I manually set the "option=..." and "alias eth0 ne" lines in modules.conf, and it loads correctly on boot (printing a success message to the console). However, when I look in /dev, there is no /dev/eth0 device; am I supposed to create this device manually? I looked at the /dev/MAKEDEV script, but it doesn't mention eth0 at all. Also, I have a second network card in the machine; should I install this as eth1? Thanks, - Marc

You will note that netscape-base-4(the wrapper) and plugger both support installations of libc5 and libc6 netscapes. I haven't yet uploaded new netscapes, tho.

netatalk setup
While there is a debian netatalk distribution, I can't find any useful documentation for getting it working. Most of the instructions I can find refer to compiling and installing it on Red Hat, and the instructions don't match what I have. I've tried searching the debian archive, but it never turns up anything. I've also looked in the Debian documentation online, but that doesn't give me anything, either. man atalkd *does* give me useful information, but it doesn't work. Since my local net is on eth1, man atalkd seems to say that all I need is a /etc/netatalk/atalkd.conf with the string "eth1". But I created this, and when I try to launch atalkd, all I get is: socket: Invalid argument atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting Thinking I might need to load a module, I ran modconf, but there is nothing about appletalk, atalk or anything similar in the net section there, or anywhere else for that matter. Yet when I do apt-get install netatalk, it says I have the latest version installed. So how do I get this working?

Reading ext2fs from Windows?
I was wondering if anyone knows of a WinBlows Utility for mounting and reading/writing to a ext2fs partition from Windows? It's useful to be able to read and write my vfat partitions from Debian, but is the reverse possible?

Sometimes I reboot into windows and forget to grab that 20 meg update I just downloaded and would like to be able to at least get read only capability to my debian partitions without rebooting, etc. Anyone know of anything to do this?

Re: less and color

I would like to include aliases to 'ls' and 'less' in my login profile to have '--color' and '-r' respectively, but run into the aforementioned problem. I feel too conditioned to type 'ls --color=always | less' in place of 'ls | less', but maybe that's just me ;) I suppose an "alias 'lsl=ls --color=always | less -r'" does the trick, but I would rather not use non-standard directory listing commands. whatever.

Yes, unless you don't use lilo at all on your system. Even if the symlink or the lilo.conf file changes, the boot sector on your disk will still be using the old setup until you rerun lilo to impliment the new configuration. At the point in the boot process where the kernel is loaded, nothing is available which knows how to check the symlink. lilo writes the physical location of the kernel on your disk into the boot loader. -- finger for GPG public key. 8 Jan 2000 - Old email addresses removed from key, new added pgpgEMXc8Awax.pgp Description: PGP signature

But earlier today, I started my usual upgrade process, and pulled down the latest Packages.gz file for potato/main, and (I use dselect) noticed that many (thirty or more?) of my installed packages were now marked for removal. I was afraid to continue with the process, so I didn't ask dselect to do the installation. Is there something actually wrong with that Packages file, or am I just being paranoid? Thanks
CPU question
Hi, I am going to set up a new server which will serve pretty much everything except www. At the moment, it has a P166, and the load avg is around about 5. The highest once reached to 22. In Australia here, the price of getting two P550 and one P700 is roughly the same. So should I get two slower CPUs, or one fast CPU. Which case will the server run faster/perform better? Thanks in advance.

The problem is twofold. First, libc6-bin has been folded into libc6, which will remove netscape-base-4 (and the rest that all depend on that) and w3c. The larger part of the problem is that xscreensaver mistakenly depends on perl instead of perl5, which causes perl-5.005 to be removed, which kills many other things. The best solution for the moment is to put libc6, libc6-dev, locales, and xscreensaver on hold until it's all worked out. -- finger for GPG public key. 8 Jan 2000 - Old email addresses removed from key, new added pgpadv2gWjMuM.pgp Description: PGP signature

Yes, but I think port forwarding woul do a better job for me. It has been no problem so far with port 80. Works well. Apache answers etc. But nothing happens on port 25 and I need mail transfer.

Re: help with dselect (on m68k)
OK, I've figured out (at least partially) what is going on. dselect is working just fine and so is everything else, except the actual CD. I gave up on dselect and rebooted, then mounted the debian CD and discovered that my system sees all the folders on it as just plain text files. That's why it can't find the directories when I direct it to them. This is probably my fault, though I'm not exactly sure why. I downloaded the cd image from the debian ftp site and made a CD. I was sure to make it 9660 format and can see all the files and folders on it with my Mac, I just can't get to them with the Linux box. Has anyone made a CD for 68K Mac from this image before? Is so, what is the secret. I tried making another disk at only 2x speed and that didn't work either. I know I have a complete valid CD image, I just can't copy it. David Kachel

Re: CPU question
Most of the time servers are I/O bound. So it would be wise to spend your money on a good NIC, SCSI adapter, SCSI hard disk, fast (IO wise) MOBO, etc. If you can re-use the P166 then do it, otherwise put a nice celeron in your server and spend your money on the I/O stuff...

Re: How to use ntp/ntpdate to fix my clock

If you're going to use ntp (not ntpdate), remember to get rid of that systohc adjust crap in runlevel 6 (/etc/rc6.d, /etc/init.d; I forgot the script name, I think a search for systohc --adjust will find it). It does not play well with ntp most of the time. If you use ntp, you must use ntpdate as well. Ntp will refuse to run if your clock is off by more than a certain amount of time (which isn't very big BTW, so this is a real risk). ntpdate is used to 'force' the clock to an acceptable value at boot time, and after that you can either leave the RTC alone or use ntp to keep it synced. Ntp *requires* a reliable, fast, permanent internet connection for at least four or five hours a day to work properly AFAIK (but it really wants 24/7 connections), as well as a good configuration and nearby stratum2 time servers (it will work otherwise, yes. But not properly and you'd be better off with only ntpdate). If you don't have such a connection, restrain yourself to ntpdate. If you use modems for dialup, forget ntp and use ntpdate. If you don't have the time to read http://www.ntp.org/ and the docs in the package ntp-doc (which you didn't read or you'd not be asking the ML), and search the stratum *2* servers list for at least 2 near you (ping < 300ms is a must. <100ms is desired), request permission to use them (ntp will keep hammering them every 64-1024s, unlike ntpdate which does it only once), and deal with the hassle, you'd be better off with only ntpdate. > specify a server to ask. is there a list of machine that listens for ntpdate > connection? where? do i need to get permission (something to do with auth There's a list in http://www.ntp.org. You want the stratum ->**2**<- servers, not the Stratum 1 servers. >stuff) to ask those machines for the time? If you're using ntp, then YES, you must request permission to use the server about 4 times out of 5. If you're using ntpdate you should ask first, but since ntpdate only connects to the server when you run it (i.e.: once on every reboot, most people add a cron job for once a day as well) you might get away without asking permission. My advice is to stick to ntpdate, it is MUCH easier to config :-) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.

Re: Is the Jan 27 version of Packages.gz for potato/main safe?
Hello Guys, Last night I have downloaded the latest Base-Install and then I have used dselect to install MC, NFS-Server, PROFTPD, SAMBA and RSYNC. At the access methode "APT-GET" I have gotten following message: Need to get 11.6 MB of archives. After unpacking 1935 KB will be used. You are about to do something potentially harmful. To continue type in the phrase "Yes, I understand this may be bad" Then before I had the warning, that it will remove a dotzend of packages. Whats this ??? They joke me ??? I had only the base-Installation: base2_2.tgz, drivers.tgz, rescue.bin OK, I have downloaded from http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian the new base-install and now it works. APT-GET has downloaded 33 MByte in aound 5 minutes and installed them properly. If I try to update my SLINK 2.1r2 it will remove the whole Installation.

`Powered by Debian' buttons
Hi Folks, bit of a weird request maybe, but I'm putting together a bit of a web-site, and I want the world to know that I'm proud to be using debian. I've got buttons (ie. little retangular graphics) saying it's powered by vim, mySQL, and php, and I'd love to add a little debian button to it as well. I know we have a couple of graphics, but I'd love to know if anyone has put together some funky little buttons to go on web pages. I seem to recall that www.linux.com once had a `powered by debian' button, but I couldn't see one on their page anymore. They have a debian logo in their collection, but it doesn't really match the size and shape of the standard `powered by' buttons. If anyone can point me towards such a beastie, it'd make my site just that much cooler. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling
Re:
Hello, what do you do to install Linux from Floppys ??? I have tried it, but without success. Please can you help me ??? Oh yes, the package you need: Look in the packages(.gz) and search for a package you desire. E.g., "Package: fvwm95" Then go some lines down and you will find a line beginning with "Depencies: libc6" or anyting else like this. Do not forget to look at "Pre-Depencies: " Do it for all Packages and download it.

If you started X via xdm or some other display manager (e.g. you had a graphical login), errors are probably in a file called '.xsession-errors' in your home directory. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://donut.mit.edu/dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.

You might have a look at http://www.debian.org/logos/, particularly http://www.debian.org/logos/button-1.gif.

should named listen on udp ports over 1024 that change on restarts?
I have noticed a strange thing. Bind allocates an udp port above 1024 randomly. Is this normal? It is compiled from the source on the debian ftp-mirror. It is version 8.2.2p5-7 I run bind as user/group named:named. Robert Varga
IP aliasing on loopback ( Slink )
Guys, Please help me. I am trying to do IP aliasing on loopback, i,e create lo:0, lo:1 etc. The steps outlined in IP Aliasing mini-howto don't seem to work for me. Step 1 : I do /sbin/ifconfig lo:0 192.168.0.1 Now 192.168.0.1 appears as lo:0 in ifconfig Step 2 : Then I do route add -net 192.168.0.0 dev lo OR route add -net 192.168.0.0 dev lo:0 No problems reported on stderr in either case Step 3 : Then I do either route add -host 192.168.0.1 dev lo OR route add -host 192.168.0.1 dev lo:1 Still no problems on command line Step 4 : Then I add route add default gw 192.168.0.1 Still no problems reported Step 5 : Lastly ping 192.168.0.1 Ping starts up and send packets but recieves NONE back ! What am I doing wrong ? Oh, I forgot to mention, I am using Slink. Thanks in advance. PAI

I think the bios uses 0x80 to refer to the first hard disk, and 0x81 for the second, whichever interface it happens to be on, and it knows to skip cd-roms. I've used 0x81 for both hdb and hdc (I have the same setup as Tom atm). /usr/share/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz gives examples using the same numbers for SCSI disks too.

Is there a difference between the pipe ('|') and the redirection ('>')?

Hi
Pipes |
Expects two programs, the first must write standard out, stdout,
the second must read standard in, stdin. Then the command line:
cat file | less
sends stdout from cat file to a fifo file on the disk which is then
read into stdin for less (and is displayed a page at a time).
Redirect >
Expects the program to write stdout, and opens a file for writing
(deleting any former contents) and writes the output of the program
ls > filelist
the file, filelist, is opened for writing, any former contents
deleted, and the directory listing from ls is written on filelist.
Hope this helps.

Did you use Linux to make the cd with dd if=[/file/cd/image] of=[/device/name/of/cdwriter] or did you use a mac utility?

Firewall question
Hi. I have a question about how powerful my firewall computer should be. I want to make a firewall for a small constellation of computers in my living room. Behind the firewall I will have two Win98 computers, one computer which boots Win98 or several flavors of Unix/Linux, and one Hurd box. This system will be entirely single user at any one time, though there may be different users. The network application will mostly be using VPN software to use Outlook and downloading source files through a CM system. Think of it as using CVS on a 1.0e6 line SW project, with 10 or so engineers making changes. I will need to fetch changed files from the internal network. I have an old 486DX120 machine which needs memory. I was planning to put 32Mb in it and letting it be the firewall. The two Win98 machines are on one subnet, and one hub, and everything else is on a second hub and subnet, so the firewall box will handle routing between the two subnets. I need this to work this way for the VPN on the Win98 machines. The other machines are not involved in the VPN at all. Does this computer seem reasonably powerful? Thanks.
