|

This really surprises me.....
|
||
|
||
I pulled down the sendmail + IDA package from tsx-11.mit.edu (forget the
|
||
exact name of the file, sorry - can get it if anyone cares) and found
|
||
that the lmail binary had trouble writing to the /tmp file.
|
||
|
||
Looking at the src for lmail.c the code contains the line(s):
|
||
|
||
if (fputs (line,fp) != strlen (line)) { ... }
|
||
|
||
in the source.
|
||
|
||
Doing some detective work yielded that fact that fputs() was always 1 and
|
||
never equaled strlen() even though the write was okay.
|
||
|
||
I changed the line to read:
|
||
|
||
if (fputs (line,fp) < 0) { ... }
|
||
|
||
|
||
and all was okay. Is fputs() okay?
|
||
|
||
Anyway, knowing the problem is 99 percent of the solution and sendmail
|
||
is working on linux, delivering to the local users just fine.

Glad you got that working. Now you can use the tapes you just formatted

Here's a tip: are you using compression with tar? Trying using tar's
|
||
--block-compress option to provide more buffer space between where tar
|
||
is and where gzip is compressing. I use
|
||
|
||
tar --block-compress -czf /dev/ftape files ...
|
||
|
||
and it doesn't bomb out anymore like it did before I used that option.

I disagree completely. This information should be disseminated freely.
|

I want to know everything about any real or potential security problems
|

with my computer. The reasons for this should be obvious. Linux, in
|

my opinion, is still an experimenters OS, and as such, I want to know
|

all the steamy details.
|
||
|
||
You really shouldn't be expecting any real level of security from a
|
||
freeware UNIX as it is. Linux is at least as secure as several
|
||
commercial UNIXes, but I would never rely on it for any level of
|
||
security.

Subject: PASSWORD LOCK FILE problem - /etc/ptmp
|
||
Date: Sun, 9 Oct 1994 16:03:32 GMT
|
||
|
||
|
||
First, I am running slackware 2.0
|
||
I am having problems with my password lock file. Lately for some reason,
|
||
users on my linux system are not able to change their passwords or shells.
|
||
|
||
When issuing the 'passwd' command, and after entering the old pword and
|
||
new pword, the change fails. The error message is "Can't open /etc/ptmp,
|
||
can't update password".
|
||
|
||
The other problem is when using 'chsh' to change shells. As above the
|
||
simple procedure fails with "Can't open /etc/ptmp, can't change shells".
|
||
|
||
I have consulted the various sysadm manuals specific to linux, but havent
|
||
seen mention of this file. From a general UNIX sysadm book, I got that
|
||
if all goes well during the file system check (at boottime),rc checks
|
||
the existance and size of the password lock file /etc/ptmp. It also
|
||
says that this file is created by the "vipw" command.
|
||
|
||
Well, on my system there is no "vipw" command, and the file /etc/ptmp
|
||
simple ISNT THERE. Leading me to beleive that I accidentally deleted it
|
||
somehow. As root, I have tried to created a file "/etc/ptmp" with a
|
||
blank body, but that doesnt work either. Then I get "/etc/ptmp exists,
|
||
can't change password". It seems I can't win. As root I am able to
|
||
sucessfully change other users passwords and shells, but I wish to restore
|
||
the ability to them.
|
||
|
||
I guess what I need, is some advice on how to create an /etc/ptmp file,
|
||
or some other way to fix this problem. Thanks much. Send replies to

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. What a goof!
|

I was moving a 200M drive over to a 1Gig drive and blasted the darn thing

with a mkswap instead of a mke2fs (fumble brain). Nonetheless, the

partition is still there, I've not done anything to it.

Question is... is it recoverable at all... or not. No big deal either way

since I can rebuild it, just want to know if I can get it back and how.

Don't let your BIOS' limitation of 504M limit the use of your drive in
|
||
linux! If it is a WD 540, then you actually have 1048 cylinders, not
|
||
1024, so you are losing 24M of space that linux _can_ use. If you use
|
||
LILO, use "hd=1048,16,63" for one of the kernel options, then linux's
|
||
fdisk will recognize the true size of the disk and let you make a
|
||
partition past the BIOS "boundary". I think you can use the same syntax
|
||
with loadlin (gotta love it!), but when I set up mine, I only had to use
|
||
the parameter when setting it up. (booted from floppy, used fdisk...)
|
||
Linux recognizes the size of the disk after that. (when booting from the
|
||
hd) This is all using 1.0.9! (I heard 1.1.50+ is even better)

Not quite sure what you mean here. I have the full Slackware installed

with a ~24M /, 200M /usr, and 128M /home with plenty of room to spare.

I think games should be either in /usr/games or in a home directory.

I disagree a bunch of yours also. However I do agree with a bunch. If

Yep, but if you are doing scsi, you should be buying a real controller.

But you have a good point. But at the same time, you have to realize

something to work.

Scsi costs more. And will continue to do so for awhile. At the 1gig

Yep, read above. My 1542 w/o software was around $180 USD, and the

|

Master/Slave mean anything to you? Actually SCSI is the defacto standard
|
||
for most Workstation equipment. If you are talking about PC's and low
|
||
end DOS machines, IDE has sold more. IDE is cheaper, and people will buy
|

it. SCSI is as standard as IDE is. SCSI, SCSI-2, Fast, Wide, SCSI-3,
|
||
and then Differential vs. Single (The only problem). IDE, WD Enhanced IDE,

Seagate EIDE, etc... People have posted enough descriptions of what each

SCSI is. IDE may be "more common", but standardized, no.

Umm? Say what? They each are about the same thing, plug in, turn on,

make sure the controller supports them, partition.

|

|
||
Don't know about these, but they are getting popular like you say.
|
||
|
||
If you are looking for cheap good solutions, go for IDE. For most single
|
||
user applications, this works, and works good. If you are looking at
|

multi user applications, and have the money, go for scsi.

Just a small comment: you turn echo off with E0 but this has no effect on the
|
||
display of CONNECT and other status messages. Q1 on the other hand turns off
|

those messages (result codes). So it is entirely possible that your system

would work with an ATE0Q0 for both dial-in and dial-out.

This is not meant as a suggestion on how to set up your Linux system (someone

There appears to be a serious bug in some of the networking code
|
||
supplied with linux/slackware, that causes the computer to get
|
||
'network unreachable' after approximately 3 minutes of perfect
|
||
functioning. I have no idea what the problem might be, and if
|
||
somebody tell me where to look, I can try to figure out what versions
|
||
my drivers etc. are. Here are the configurations I ve gotten this
|
||
problem with:
|
||
|
||
AMD DX2/66, 8Mb, VLB CL5428 1Mb with either
|
||
* Etherlink II, kernel 1.1.50 and 1.1.49
|
||
* SMC Ultra Combo, kernel 1.1.33, 1.1.49, 1.1.50
|
||
-tried both coax and TP
|
||
* SMC Ultra something else, also with various kernels
|
||
|
||
AMD 386/40, 12Mb,
|
||
* SMC Ultra Combo, kernel 1.1.33
|
||
|
||
The 386 works perfectly well with the network with both cards when
|
||
using older software (Some old SLS distrib. I believe)
|
||
|
||
I would very much like to know what is wrong, and how to fix it.
|
||
|
||
There is also a 'bug' in df, causing a float exception when it cannot
|
||
access a non-existent NFS-mount.

DON'T THROW AWAY 2.1.1 JUST TO GET A 3.1 X SERVER!!!!
|
||
|
||
All you need to do is get the server itself, set up the new-style XF86config,
|
||
make a few symlinks, and that's it. You can run all your 2.1.1 stuff with the
|
||
new Xserver w/no problem. (I'm using the W32 server with 2.1.1, and it works
|
||
just fine.)
|
||
|
||
If anyone needs help on how to do this, I'll be glad to assist. Getting the
|
||
entire XFree86 3.1 package is a bit of overkill if you just want an updated
|
||
Xserver. I'm gonna get the new 320x200 server today and symlink it, too. It
|
||
should work as well, if that's what you're looking for (and I know a BUNCH of
|
||
people who would only want 3.1 because of the new 320x200 mode...I wonder why
|
||
...).

I disagree too. If us (administrators) don't know about these security

It seems that You lost all history. First of all make owner
|
||
of history* to news and after that run /var/lib/newsbin/expire/mkhistory
|
||
as user news.

I've seen a FAQ around that explains how to use the Linux virtual memory
