How to analyze a server crash?
Hi there, I was just rsyncing a 10Gb tree to a remote server over SSH when the connection was reset by the remote side and the server was consequentially unreachable. So I proceeded to get to it physically and discovered that not even the console was working -- the screen remained blank. From the logs, the only thing I could see was that grsecurity logged a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) sent to the rsync server process. No other logging entry shows anything about the freeze of that system. So my question is: how can I figure out what happened, and why is there absolutely no information between my last successful automatic fetchmail log entries and the sysklogd restart message? Under what circumstances can Linux crash such that it can't even write logs anymore and doesn't respond to the console? -- Please do not CC me!

I would assign an 2Gb partition at the beginning of every drive, and assign the rest for the big raid. Just install the system onto the first 2G partition of the first drive, and only later worry about setting up the RAIDs. Use the 6x 34G partitions for your "large dataset". I would suggest: 5 disks in raid configuration and a hot spare. That will give you 136G of data-space. The small partitions you use to mirror your root. Assign one for swap (how about the one that is "hot spare" in the raid config?). Think about what to do with the other three.

Unfortunately, there probably isn't any way to really figure out what happened short of trying to reproduce it. For example, a hard-lock caused by a hardware problem or a driver bug might not leave you with any messages because the machine locks before the kernel can properly panic. I've had that happen when X crashed, too, and that wasn't really even a driver bug (it was combination of wine and font servers). Linux also doesn't have a standard crash dump facility, and even if it did PC hardware doesn't give you a way to force a dump like other UNIX server platforms do. The best suggestion I can think of right now is to read about the "magic sysreq" kernel debugging option, enable it, and try to rsync another 10GB. But if the system is truly locked it won't be able to respond to your sysreq. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This one's resolvable if you have the Magic System Request key enabled (not sure if it is by default). It's sysrq-k to kill everything in your current console. If you use gdm or xdm on the console you're killing, then it should restart automatically and give you a new login. If you use kdm and you have "Automatically log in after X server crash" enabled, then it will automagically restart your session where it was last saved; otherwise it'll behave the same as gdm or xdm. To test, switch to a console. Hit sysrq-s (Pressing sysreq is alt-prntscrn, you need to hold both down to hold down sysreq). If you see "sysRq: Emergency sync" and a few lines where it syncs everything, then you've got it. If you get thrown back to a different console or nothing happens, then you don't. To enable it, recompile your kernel and say yes to CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ. For details on what all you can use System Request for, check out /usr/src/kernel-source-*/Documentation/sysrq.txt > The best suggestion I can think of right now is to read about the "magic > sysreq" kernel debugging option, enable it, and try to rsync another > 10GB.

KDE questions
OK, having gotten tired of dealing with nautilus, I gave KDE a shot. At first it was kind of strange and constricting (first impressions quite overwhelming), but after a while it sort of became a part of me. Feels strangely like CDE but actually good. I was wrong: Neither KDE nor Gnome suck. They're both alright, and both have thier differences. My folks are getting tired of WinME, I think I'll put both on thier box and let them pick it out. I've started to get curious about a few things, though... 1) Konsole is growing on me, despite it's rather nonstandard (for an X app) style of configuration (haven't these guys learned about X resources?). Is it possible to have KDE to open a konsole when a program requires a terminal open, and when a subsequent terminal-based program starts, have it become a tab in the other program-started konsole? 2) What's with konqueror not hanging on to cookies between sessions on some sites (namely, slashdot)? 3) How do you say "drawer" in KDE? Having all the icons on the panel without being able to drawer some away seems a little oddball and I haven't really experimented too much with the panel (beyond 4). 4) Why doesn't kweather have a method to configure it after it's initial configuration or to display a forcast? gnome-weather has it, wmweather has it...why can't kweather get with the program? -- .''`.

may i ask, which imap server are you using with this. i've had a
terrible time getting squirrelmail to match up with an imap daemon.
uw-imap just refused to let me login, and gnu-mailutils imap server
seems to mostly work, but it can't save sent mail. i've filed it as a
bug against debian's squirrelmail, because i just can't figure out
what the problem is.

Hello all, I'm needing to set a diskless pc, and I have been studing the initrd procedure. The idea is to have the read-only directories mounted on nfs, and others one read-write in ram-disks.

hi folks, i run djbdns at a couple of sites and while it does not have any means to dynamically update DNS information (that's *not* an advantage of BIND, just look at their implementation), the datafile makes programmed edits really simple. I want to give my users the possibility to change their zone entries (mainly for dynIP DNS). however, i would like to do so in a very secure way. let's say everything works on the server, all i need is a method to authenticate a user and upon successful authentication, pass the IP s/he used for the authentication on to a script that takes care of the edit. There exists a fake POP3 server that does exactly this (it always serves an empty mailbox), but it's cleartext. I would like at least SSL, and asymmetric authentication with certificates would be the best. i don't really have time to implement this myself, so i am wondering if you guys know of such a tool. I have considered GPG-signed email, but that strikes me as a little cumbersome for the task, and it doesn't guarantee timely changes. I've thought about an SSL website with a form that also exposes a simple interface via HTTP, and while i like this approach, i don't think i am capable enough to implement a CGI securely, at least not with the time I have at hand. is there already such a system? any thoughts are greatly appreciated! -- Please do not CC me!

File too large problem
Hi all I got a weird (?) problem. I got a machine with debian woody on it (Linux version 2.4.19 (root@flora) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)). I got with several tools the problem, they can not handle files bigger than 2 GB. But the Kernel seems okay, I also can create huge files over 2 GB. The tools I had this problems are for example md5sum, gpart and mkisofs (creating an iso with a file bigger than 2gb in it). I installed all of them via dselect. Whats seems strange: if I copy mkisofs or md5sum from a SuSe-Box (Linux version 2.2.16 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release))) to the debian-box, the tools can handle huge files!

I'll try the aforementioned recommendations. Although moving your apt cache is probably the better solution, you can also try this: - `apt-get clean` - `apt-get upgrade`, hit 'no' when asked if you're sure you want to do this - `apt-get install ` - Repeat until done It's more work, but, if you're short of space system-wide, you can do your upgrade a few packages at a time, cleaning out the package cache after each batch, and get by on very little disk space for package cache.

For example, I have one such file that contains this line: command="userv dyndns dyndns dynamic.greenend.org.uk riva",no-pty,no-port-forwarding 1024 35 145413580969648476044072749424723997577855609708600898296078782540051360757631277317814917027038279588528053774482503019012709429846592053864406645721891713477828254982531683029630103055847963503784826642231356729554071003805850344215815518908121062306905784894054069613278599523363884251674573384786501899737 cjwatson@arborlon When ssh'ing in using that single-purpose key, that command is executed, and you get to give it whatever arguments you like. Those should serve to disambiguate among users. If you need security between users as well, then using userv as above may help. Give them each their own account, if necessary disabled except for a single authorized_keys entry with a forced command. Set up a userv service which knows how to check users against the dynamic DNS entries they're allowed to update. Not perhaps the easiest thing in the world to set up, but it's possible. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: URGENT: Building kernel.
Before you compile your Kernel (In this case you'll need to start again)
and probably do a 'make clean' in the source directory followed by 'make
menuconfig' then find the option about RAMDISK SUPPORT - then turn it off!
then I'd 'make dep', 'make modules'.. &c.
PS. I don't think this is the Debian *way* of doing the compile but I never
had a problem my way so I've never bothered to learn how to do it the
Debian way.
Anyhow, essentially the answer is to turn off the RAMDISK SUPPORT in your
Kernel Configuration seetings prior to compilation.
Hope this helps,

CD sound
This is one of those, "It used to work..." problems. I have OSS sound. I have one CD-R and one CDE-RW (scsi emulation blah-blah-blah) I have sound on things like XMMS, Xine.

I'm not sure where to even start looking. /dev/cdrom is mapped to the devfs cdrom0 (which is the correct device). aumix also shows the cd-player volume enabled. Like I said, it used to work.

For some reason (I'm sure it's a good one, but I have no idea what it might be), /etc/logcheck/logcheck.hacking (apparently obsolete), /etc/logcheck/logcheck.cracking, and /etc/logcheck/logcheck.violations on my system include "nested" as one of the patterns they match. At this point, there does not appear to be an easy workaround for this short of removing "nested" from these files, as logcheck does not include a cracking.ignore file or directory. (You can add "postgres.*: .* Nested Loop" or similar to /etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/local to stop this from showing up as a security violation, but it will still appear as a system attack.) You may also be able to convince postgres to do its nightly maintenance quietly instead of spewing thousands of messages to the log; I've reported this as a bug against older versions of postgresql and been told that a newer version "finally got debug messages under control", but I haven't verified whether this means the nightly maintenance can be gagged in a fashion which will survive an upgrade of the postgresql packages. The ideal solution, IMO, would be for logcheck to add a cracking.ignore.d and for postgresql to install a file there (/etc/logcheck/cracking.ignore.d/postgresql) containing the necessary pattern to tell logcheck to ignore these specific messages. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Technically, yes, as long as your nameserver is not in your zone. Zones are delegated to IP Names. If your domain is myzone.com, and your nameserver is ns.myzone.com, the delegator must include the IP address of ns.myzone.com in the .com zone file as a "glue" record in order for your nameserver to be found. In this case, you would have to have a static IP. If, on the otherhand, your nameserver is ns.hiszone.com, you can have myzone.com delegated to ns.hiszone.com. Technically. There will be some disconnects, though. If you setup your zones' TTLs to 300 (5 minutes), as your addresses change, it will take 5 to 10 minutes for the old cached responses to expire and new lookup requests to be fulfilled by queries back to your NS. Since it requires all records to have TTLs of 300, it's a Bad Thing. Too much wasted traffic. As a practical matter, I don't know of any registrars that will take a registration without the IP addresses associated with the NS records, and most of them include them, technically incorrectly if the "glue" record isn't needed, in their zone files to keep traffic and repeated lookup requests to a minimum. What I do instead is use cname records in the real zone that point to my dyndns names. This works for everything except MX records, which can't point to cnames. But I just use the dyndns name for the mail hosts in the MX record. madmac > > If I use 'dig domain.com NS' it responds with domain names for name > servers, not IP addresses.

Nothing in the error_log Next step: Did you stop and start Apache after making the change(s)? If not, do so (should be /etc/init.d/apache stop && /etc/init.d/apache start -- I find that reload doesn't always do the trick, for whatever reasons).

If they were written using UDF (which is what a number of Windows programs like to do with CD-RW media), you won't be able to read them without the experimental UDF support enabled in the kernel -- and my understanding is that it still has a lot of bugs to be ironed out. You are mounting the CD-RWs, right? Also, what is your full /etc/fstab line? Should be something like: /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 Make sure you have an fs type listed -- otherwise you *WILL* have problems, regardless of media. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: which 2.4 kernel and patch(es) to avoid IDE disk corruption when DMA on?

DMA problems are most often caused by buggy IDE controllers or perhaps the driver. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
