Would be nice to have a way to check diskettes for boot viruses, though.

Oh no, what about the HP 8GB DAT drives. These are really just *2GB* drives
|

so with normal data 4GB would be good going, and 8GB only if you back up

the contents of /dev/zero. I'm surprised tape streamers haven't gone like

|

Not necessarily. Here is a quote from the comp.periphs.scsi FAQ:
|
||
|
||
In a typical single drive PC system, ATA (you call it IDE, the
|
||
proper name is ATA) is faster than any SCSI. This is because of
|
||
the 1 to 2 millisecond command overhead of a SCSI host adapter
|
||
vs. the 100 to 300 microsecond command overhead of an ATA drive.
|
||
Also, ATA transfers data 16-bits at a time from the drive
|
||
directly to/from the system bus. Compare this to SCSI which
|
||
transfers data 8-bits at a time between the host adapter and the
|
||
drive. The host adapter may be able to transfer data 16-bits at
|
||
a time to the system bus.
|
||
|
||
Of course you could go to Fast SCSI or Wide SCSI but that costs
|
||
a whole bunch more!

I have been reading this thread with great interest; first, I became (as did
|
||
many others) concerned about the possibility that code was distributed with
|
||
ill intent (even though I am not presently a user of the shadow-mk package);
|
||
later, I was simply curious as to the resolution of this.
|
||
|
||
Let me just say something LOUD AND CLEAR: I do *NOT* believe that you have any
|
||
reason to apologize to anyone. There was a sad misunderstanding here; with the
|
||
ever-present threat of viruses, trojan horses, and what not, people have a
|
||
good reason to be concerned; but all YOU did was provide the result of your
|
||
labors for all of us to use and enjoy, for which the least that you deserve is
|
||
our thanks. There is absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty when you have
|
||
contributed good code to the public domain.
|
||
|
||
I do not believe that the original poster has any reason to feel guilty
|
||
either. He did the right thing; posted a warning to all of us when there was
|
||
reason to believe that code with ill-intent was circulating and executing
|
||
regularly on our machines with root privileges. Unfortunately, no matter how
|
||
tactful you are, this is something that's very difficult to do without
|
||
implicating the author of the code in question.
|
||
|
||
So anyways, all I meant to say (since it appears nobody else said it) is that
|
||
you should both be thanked by the rest of us.

I am looking for a software contractor to do some modest software development

for a Linux platform in the TCP/IP networking area. The objective of the

project is to build a specialized router out of a Linux box. This is project

serial- and parallel-port device drivers. I am located in Denver, and although

considered. Estimated project duration is 30-60 days, and estimated timeframe

is 4th quarter 1994.

|
||
|
||
|
||
Here are the results of my investigation:
|
||
|
||
The incorrect permissions on /bin/_login were due to a mixup when
|
||
updating the shadow-mk package's Makefile to correspond to the
|
||
Makefile from the other shadow release.
|
||
|
||
** The 4755 perms do not appear present a security risk, however. **
|
||
|
||
The original /bin/login will deny any logged in user from using
|
||
the -f (username) option if they lack sufficient privledge. Period.
|
||
Indeed, the only reason -froot was a problem was that /bin/login
|
||
determined that the "active user" calling /bin/login was indeed root
|
||
and therefore had permission to use the -f switch. Any user, once
|
||
logged in, cannot use the -f option unless that user is indeed root.
|
||
|
||
For those persons interested in verifying this statement, log in
|
||
as a regular user and type "/bin/login -f root" or "/bin/login -froot"
|
||
and see what happens. You'll not become root. The problem was in
|
||
rlogin and console logins, where /bin/login was being invoked by
|
||
root itself, rather than being invoked as suid-root. Apparently, the
|
||
old /bin/login uses getuid() instead of geteuid() to determine the
|
||
real user id of the user executing the program.

I have had report of this, but because it didn't fail on the 1.1.18 system
|
||
I was using, I didn't spot it. (It also makes it hard to debug.) As a work-
|
||
around, change the entry in the Imakefile for NO_OPTIMIZE to either "-g" or
|
||
just empty, remake your Makefile, rm wpaint.o and rebuild. What ever the

bug is, turning on the optimizer seems to tickle it.

Call me a radical but, why not just have a routine that uses argv[0]
|
||
and the path environment variable to workout where what it is
|
||
executing lives.

Not too long ago (probably still available at sites with longer expire dates
|
||
on news) there was an extended discussion in comp.os.linux.whatever about
|
||
this. The bottom line is that Linux uses memory _very_ efficiently; basically,
|
||
instead of letting expensive memory lying around unused, it uses it for
|
||
dynamic buffering. This in no way affects the amount of memory available to
|
||
applications.
|
||
|
||
Therefore, there is no need to 'fix' anything; this is probably the most
|
||
efficient way to use that memory you probably paid many hundreds of $$$ for.

Get: sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Network/info-systems/Mosaic-2.4.bin2.tar.gz

Unzip/untar it, and the binary is waiting there for you. Running it here under the

Motif workalike "fvwm" (from Yggdrasil Summer 94 distribution). Works fine (but

Ummm, a minor correction...

It is NOT the fact that few people had compilers on their system, but the

fact that noone is about to distribute the source for a copyrighted software,
