  1. tyme. There seems to be a problem wih sed (which is needed by mirrorselect) So I skipped the mirror select, and I'm bootstrapping now ... I'll let you all know how it goes
  2. thats crap !!! if it wasn't for the users that showed interest in this forum, it would naver have even started. Sure there are few people that put alot of time in at the beginning, and some people that continue to put a lot of time in (read: anon, cannonfodder :-) ) but without visitors, this site is just a waste of internet space like many other sites. thats my point of view, from someone who has put a lot of time in, and appreciates seeing the effort "pay off" :-)
  3. you need to secure your php code a little more. Check that the file that is being opened is allowed to be opened (like in the Apache DocumentRoot) security breach http://omarserenity.com/funwithphp.php?../..../../etc/passwd although it says permission denied, you should dissallow ANY access to things outside your documnet root example: <? if(eregi("..",$var)) { echo "YOU F@#KING HACKER !!!!"; exit; } ?> just a nice simple security check I've been caught by this one MANY times
  4. why have you got php script in a cgi-bin ??? they don't need to be
  5. try using fwrite instead for a file that you want to create from scratch. or exec("touch filename") then do fopen("filename", w)
  6. I have a linksys wireless bridge that bridges the connection seamlessly. The linksys is on a private network 192.168.218.96 ... which I can't see. My firewall has my public IP 202.27.218.96 This way I didn't have to fight with drivers and crap like that. The Linux boxes just use normal old ethernet, that plugs into my bridge. It works Great!!!!

    Help with tar

    2 gb is a limitations of ext2 .... ReiserFS can go upto 12 gb (I thinK) and I don't know what ext3 can do. it got to do with blocksize's of node on your filesystem
  8. if you don't want a firewall, then I would use shorewall, and in /etc/shorewall/policy put dmz all accept lan all accept wan all accept theconnection sharing is done with freaky kernel commands that are way over my head, but you could try reading stuff at http://www.linuxrouter.org
  9. ok all you Uber geeks !!! ... how many of you are running gentoo? how much better/worse is it? it looks like a killer to install, but I'm no n00bie, so what should I look out for? what pitfalls have you guys already encountered? and do I have recompile the kernel for SMP support ? and who can loan me a HDD so I don't wreck my Mandrake Disk :wink:
  10. I'm glad to see someone else thinking the same way I do. I thought perhaps you guys outside of New Zealand must use some weird kind of broadband :?: :roll: I have a 2mb wireless connection, I was given 2 ip numbers, gateway address, network and broadcast address, and its all pretty noraml TCP/IP networking. You can do some tricky stuff, but for an ADSL connection its really not neccessary. as Ronin has mentioned, you can run a firewall, that MASQ's your non-routeable private network (example: firewall IP 202.x.x.x, Private Network 192.168.x.x) but it really depends on how many computers you want to share the internet with.

    URPMI blues

    if you have downloaded the rpm already then cd /path/to/where/the/rpm/is urpmi ./k3b.x.x.x.rpm will install it 1. you can see the sources by urpmi.update (with no arguments) 2. adding others sources is easy, and this link will make it even easier http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php 3. PLF, texstar, and MandrakeClub (if you're a member) is all you should ever need (mostly) if you're getting errors post them here, maybe we can help more then

    :lol: damn typo's !!!!
  13. paul

    Packet Sniffer?

    yep ... I just installed it 5 minutes ago, and libpcap and libsnmp is on the cd's
  14. more or less, more information about more and less follows :-) more filename ... then <ctrl> c ... you can still see the output of the more command less filename ... then <ctrl> c .... the screen re-sets to blank example: more INSTALL <ctrl> c still have INSTALL instructions in front of you :-)

    installing jedit

    with src.rpms you need to rebuild them as root: rpm --rebuild filename.src.rpm this will go through and *configure* the app for your machine you will end up with a rpm in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i*86 it depends on what type of machine you have ..... mine get put in i586 directory at home, and in i386 at work then you can install the app urpmi /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/filename.rpm

    Pesky Popup in KDE

    in the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 you wil find a line that looks like this /usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail comment it out (with a # at the begining of the line) and you won't get that pesky xconsole anymore
  17. whoops ... 1. from /etc/securetty tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 vc/1 vc/2 vc/3 vc/4 vc/5 vc/6 this is a list of the consoles that root can logon through .... if you delete these, root won't be able to logon directly. try adding tty1 into /etc/securetty then you should be able to login from one tty console
  18. 1. from /etc/ssh/sshd_config PermitRootLogin no change this and you will be able to logon as root 2. is the ifcfg for the ISA saved ??? coz when you reboot you'll have to do it again won't you? 3. Yes you're right ... it will take a while (even days) for the arp cache to update .... bummer :-( 3.5 ..... YOU CAN SPOOF MAC ADDRESSES ?????? .... I have some reading to do today :roll: to find out how :wink:
  19. a few notes: 1. Root should NOT be able to logon ... EVER !!!! always log on as user first, then su - root, and if you're like me you will have a wheel group, where only people in that group can su - 2. read the MNF docs ..... its says it support PCI NIC ....if you get your ISA going it will probably not work the next time you reboot the firewall 3. Your ISP does NOT need the MAC address of your old card ... your ISP needs to update their ARP cache arp -an should give you a list of all the netword cards that can be seen from your network. as far as I know .... MAC addresses can't be spoofed .... I would rather just ring up the ISP and yell at them I run proxy ARP here at home, and all you need to do is update the cache .... (read: restart the gateway iptables)
  20. I've had worse night with winblows :P
  21. mousedrake fixed it :? now I'm back to where I was 20 minutes ago ... but without gpm .... who uses gpm on a desktop anyway ... thats why I have X :D at least, thats what I'm gonna keep telling my self ...... I must need sleep :shock:
  22. ok so major freaky sh!t going on .... :? I have my mouse back, but without the wheel working ...... chkconfig --del gpm shutdown -r now didn't fix it shutdown -h now didn't fix it shutdown -h now turn power off count to ten restart ... I now have a mouse :? now to fix my wheel............................................................
  23. X crashed on me tonight .... completely locking up my computer now I have no mouse ... gpm won't start because thereis no /dev/psaux ... but guess what...... THERE IS !!!!! in /var/log/Xfre...log xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux No such device or address.
