keeping checksums of every file installed
Hi! I´ll soon have to give out the root-pw of one of my boxes temporarily, but I´m a little paranoid... Does anybody know of some program/script that could make checksums of each&every file installed and keeping this list somewhere safe so that I can compare it when I take the password away from my colleague to make sure there´s no trojan or something installed? (The joke is that there´ll be a security audit and they want to have the root-pws for that...) TIA, &rw -- / Ing.

I think something along the lines of; find ./ -type f | xargs md5sum > outputfile.txt Would work. Later, do the same, and then 'diff -u outputfile.txt newoutputfile.txt', to see the differences.

Sure...it's called tripwire. Works like a charm. Be sure and grab the new(er) version, which alleviates the need to keep your database stored off the drive. Very cool.

Can't connect two debian boxes via PLIP
I'm trying to connect my PII 350 with Debian 2.2r2 potato (kernel 2.2.17) with my PIII 800 with Debian woody (2.2.18 recompiled) using a "laplink" cable. I've followed PLIP-Howto steps, but even when I already tried two cables (which work under Windows, I know this doesn't prove anything, but..), I still can't make this to work. I stop in the ping step. My potato says plip0: transmit timeout(1,87) and my woody stays forever waiting for an answer. This are my settings: potato: plip0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FC:FC:C0:A8:00:01 inet addre:192.168.0.1 P-t-P:192.168.0.2 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 Interrupt:7 Base address:0x378 route 192.168.0.2 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 plip0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U0 0 0 plip0 woody: plip0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FC:FC:C0:A8:00:02 inet addre:192.168.0.2 P-t-P:192.168.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 Interrupt:7 Base address:0x378 route 192.168.0.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 plip0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U0 0 0 plip0 They're supposedly ok, but when I try to connect they don't communicate. ¿any suggestion? _ Do You Yahoo!?

Has anyone here used the Pilot-mail utility lately? I can't get it to recognize a port, each time I run it, it says "unable to bind to port -p" and "file does not exist".

Re: Win2k LDAP and Linux oh my!
ive seen a lot of reports that say active directory does NOT get along well with any other kind of directory service. its basically if you use it that is all you can use. i really feel sorry for anyone who is forced to use AD. currently at my company we are using Netscape directory server 3.1 on a solaris 7 machine to provide LDAP address books, and we authenticate our VPNs via RADIUS not ldap(IMO radius makes more sense for that kind of stuff anyway :) ). i have extreme doubts you can get AD and a normal LDAP server to synch with each other. iplanet products do not seem to work at all under debian so ..i'm not sure what to reccomend. good luck with the AD stuff ..i wouldn't be caught dead using it. nate Tom Warfield wrote: > > Alright bear with me on this one while I explain what i want to do: > Currently we have a Win2K domain (running Active Directory), also were > using the better things in life like Debian for our email and etc. In the > future were looking at installing a better firewall that has VPN support, > and according to the company selling us the firewall we can use LDAP to > authenticate users. > Right now as it goes I have to setup the user on the Win2K server, > then on > the email server.

How to upgrade to a tested lib?

How do I tell dselect/apt/dpkg to let me pick the newer SDL lib (for instance) out of tested, bring with it any dependent libs (which may also be in tested), but not make a change to newer packages across the board?

This works and runs my window manager enlightenment. run the X4 server xserver-xfree86 with TWM. most apps seem to run fine What I can't do: run the X 4 server with enlightenment. - it complains that Xlib: extension "SHAPE" missing on display ":0.0". and suggests I upgrade to a more recent version of X... this error also occurs when I try to run xf86cfg (from under X) though it is at least bright enough not to suggest an upgrade has anyone any ideas about this?

DNS: not working correctly
Hello, I have set up a domain name server with BIND a couple of months ago. It worked almost correctly on every computer I had been on, however, some could not reach my domain. But, a couple of days ago, my server became unreachenable through the domain name. I guessed it might have missed an DNS update because the link was down during that period. But now, more than two days later, things still do not work. I examined it with nslookup: with q=ns, everything seems to work with q=a, it can not find the domain with q=any, everything seems ok How can I fix this? I included the bind files. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance, Sebastiaan. ; BIND data file for sacred-key.org $TTL86400 @ IN SOA ns.sacred-key.org. root.sacred-key.org.

Re: Burning CD-ROMs as user
Hi, you can add a group 'burners', set the device-group permission to rw, add the user to the group ( addgroup user burners) and make the device belong to the group burners. Then you have to check you can find cdrecord as a user.

Hi All!

DocBook - db2pdf and db2ps problems
I'm a newcomer to Debian and Linux in general, and my current job is limited to prepare documentation using docbook on Debian. I do have some problems, and when I try to search information about docbook, I end up with RedHat specific advice. Are the following problems with db2pdf and db2ps due to my Debian installation, and does anyone know what to do about it: - Graphics, especially for PDF output: I have been adviced to use the PNG graphics format, but my version of the docbook tools (probably jadetex) does not know .png. OK, I can do without PNG, but worse is that I cannot find a way to include graphics in PDF files at all. PDF is also not known as a graphics format, and other formats don't work. - Font problem, Postscript and PDF: I needed to include the 'µ' (micron) letter in my text, and this makes db2pdf and db2ps (dvips to be more exact) ask for a font file called lbmr.pfb. It's not there, and while the letter will be left out in the PDF output, the Postscript file contains no text at all because of this. - BeginPage tag: The tag does not seem to work at all, it's supposed to induce a pageshift in printed output. I have seen no mention of these problems anywhere, so I wonder if it works for everybody else, or am i the only person to actually prepare documentation for printout using docbook on Debian? If somebody can commment on the state of docbook on Debian in general (not specific to my problems above), this will also be of interest. Regards -- Henning Hansen

rsh and openssh
By default, rcp is linked (in /etc/alternatives) to scp which is (in my limited understanding) a secure version based on openssh.

I won't get a chance to test this until I upgrade another disk, but you should be able to use the -r option to set the root partition appropriately for the new drive, and the -C option to specify a special configuration file. The latter means that you can write the /etc/lilo.conf on the new disk as it needs to be in the future system (like you do for /etc/fstab), containing the future boot= and root= lines, whereas you need to run lilo now on a file containing boot= and root= with the current device names.

RES: networking partly broken after upgrade to testing
The network mask assigned to eth0, as reported [255.255.252.0] by ifconfig, seems to be incorrect. Never heard about classless subnets in Class B networks.

If that is not possible consult /usr/doc/HOWTO//Plug-and-Play-HOWTO, which covers the subject pretty well. Be sure to check your jumper settings for comports. Typical modem settings are COM2 or COM4(ttyS01 or ttyS03) and IRQ3. Wdoze 9x likes to see modems on COM2 so use that as your prefered setting.

just use dhcp-server and set /etc/dhcpd.conf something like:
option domain-name "mydomain.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.50.3, 192.168.50.6;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
default-lease-time 1209600;
max-lease-time 1209600;
subnet 192.168.50.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.50.100 192.168.50.140;
option broadcast-address 192.168.50.255;
option routers 192.168.50.201;
option domain-name "mydomain.com";
option netbios-node-type 8;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.50.1, 192.168.50.2;
}
netbios-name-servers is the "WINS" servers if you have any, remove both
netbios entries if you do not have WINS. the rest should be self
explanitory.
edit /etc/init.d/dhcp and change the setting that allows it to load.
good luck.

Muddled explanation of classed vs. classless IPs (was Re: RES: networking partly broken after upgrade to testing)
> I don't know what all this is about. Still, it woke me up. I was just reading this in one of the TCP/IP books I have, so I'll take a stab at explaining it (and let somebody else explain the errors). IP addresses are divided into "host" portions and "network" portions. The host portion is assigned by whoever doles out blocks of IP addresses, and is fixed once you get it. The network portion is what you get to play around with after you are assigned your block of IP addresses. The host portion always comes first. Somebody might assigned you the block of IP addresses 45.67.0.1 - 45.67.255.255. The host portion is "45.67", whereas the network potion is ".0.1 - .255.255". In the olden days, networks were divided into classes: A, B, and C. Class A networks had an 8-bit host value, and a 24-bit network value. So a class A network would appear as 45.xxx.xxx.xxx. On that network, you could assign any machine an IP address from 45.0.0.1 - 45.255.255.255. Class B networks had a 16-bit host and a 16-bit network value, such as 45.67.xxx.xxx (in the example in the last paragraph). Class C networks had a 24-bit host and an 8-bit network value (45.67.112.xxx). However, this addressing scheme had its limitations. You might not need the 65,536 IP addresses provided by a class B network, but more than the 256 addresses provided by a class C network. In the old days, you'd suck it up, take the class B network, and the unused addresses would go to waste. However, as the Internet grew, IP addresses started becoming a scarce commodity. So what happened was the assignment of IP addresses went from fixed classes to classless to prevent that type of waste. In classless assignment, IP addresses take the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/YY. The "/YY portion" tells you how many bits to use as the host portion, and how many to use as the network portion. Converting from the old scheme, a class B address of 45.67.xxx.xxx would now become 45.67.xxx.xxx/16. Class C addresses would become 45.67.112.xxx/24. The power that this provides is demonstrated when you need, say, 32,000 addresses. Obviously, this is more than an old class C address could provide, but if you picked up a class B address you'd be wasting another 32,000+ addresses. So what you do is you take a class B address and move one bit from the network portion to the host portion (e.g., 45.67.xxx.xxx/17 rather than 45.67.xxx.xxx/16). What this does is chops up the 45.67.xxx.xxx range into two separate networks, the first going from 45.67.0.1 to 45.67.127.255, and the second going from 45.67.128.1 to 45.67.255.255. Rather than get 32,000+ IP addresses that would go unassigned, you can get 32,768 addresses - and let somebody else get the other 32,768 addresses who could actually use them. Instead of throwing away 32k+ addresses, you only let a few hundred go unassigned. A netmask address is an alternate way of expressing the "/YY" for an IP address. The netmask is simply the "/YY" portion converted into IP address notation. For instance, /16 would become 255.255.0.0. /17 would be 255.255.127.0. Using the netmask, you can figure out how a network is partitioned much easier than you can be simply looking at "/17". So that's the quite and dirty run-down. I'm sure somebody will step in with corrections about math or terminology, but I think you can get the gist of it from the explanation above.
ppp-2.4.0 routing problem in testing: tap0 issue?
Hi. When I upgraded to testing, I got ppp-2.4.0along with it. Once this version of ppp was installed, the routing no longer worked properly. In particular, with ppp-2.4.0 I get the following behavior: - [... not connected to anything ...] dkatz [~] $ /sbin/ifconfig loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:13 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:13 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 tap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FD:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 Interrupt:5 dkatz [~] $ /sbin/route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 192.168.0.2 * 255.255.255.255 UH1 00 tap0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 tap0 default * 0.0.0.0 U 1 00 tap0 [... do a 'pon' here ...] dkatz [~] $ /sbin/ifconfig loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:13 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:13 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:208.192.101.188 P-t-P:199.172.62.219 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1514 Metric:1 RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 tap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FD:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:21 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 Interrupt:5 dkatz [~] $ /sbin/route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 199.172.62.219 * 255.255.255.255 UH0 00 ppp0 192.168.0.2 * 255.255.255.255 UH1 00 tap0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 tap0 default * 0.0.0.0 U 1 00 tap0 - Note that (1) there is an interface 'tap0' which I don't understand at all since I don't have an ethernet card in my machine and have never set one up, and (2) that I can make a connection and get a working ppp0 interface, but that the default route is not set properly.

libc6 upgrade problem
I recently updated through dselect, and the process hangs when it tries to upgrade libc6. I am using testing. Here is what I get: Preparing to replace libc6 2.2.1-1 (using libc6_2.2.1-3_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libc6 . It will hang there for at least an hour (yes, I let it run for that long). The hard drive, cpu, and memory are not being accessed, so I don't think the process is doing anything at all. I actually have two questions here. First... What is the next logical step? Should I try to find 2.2.1-2 and upgrade to that first? Second... how do I kill the process? I tried Ctrl-c and that didn't work. I tried Ctrl-z and that didn't work. Then I tried firing up another xterm and killing the process with "kill -9 [PID]" and that didn't kill it. The only thing I could do to kill it was change to runlevel 1 and then back to 2.
