Which begs the question--why do we still use the old, old encryption?
|
||
I mean, with a shadowed .passwd file only one routine checks passwords
|
||
anyway, so why insist on an antique DES-based algorithm? It would
|
||
be easy to hack in a more modern message digester like MD5. You could
|
||
even have salts and standard size passwd files (by adding characters
|
||
and forgetting most of the digest).
|
||
|
||
I would guess this has already been done, as it's a pretty obvious idea,
|
||
but at least it should be included with a shadow passwd package so people
|
||
looking for higher password security don't have to shop around.

|
||
|
||
The reason is compatibility: if you share passwords over a network via
|
||
NIS or by rdist'ing /etc/passwd, the encryption algorithms must be
|
||
compatible. Inventing a new and better encryption scheme in a
|
||
compatible way is perhaps easily possible - but to convince all the
|
||
rest of the Unix world to change their systems to use the new scheme
|
||
would be too difficult.

Following the example in the Linux Network Administrator's Guide, I cannot
|
||
seem to get Linux to execute a shell command when a site is rejected from
|
||
/etc/hosts.deny. I have the following in my hosts.deny:
|
||
|
||
|
||
in.ftpd: ALL EXCEPT LOCAL : \
|
||
echo "request from %d@%h" >> /var/log/finger.log; \
|
||
if [ %h != "vlager.vbrew.com" ]; then \
|
||
finger -l @%h >> /var/log/finger.log \
|
||
fi
|
||
|
||
|
||
as per the example in the NAG guide, and while I can get the system to reject
|
||
the ftp from connecting, the shell doesn't seem to execute. I've tried a
|
||
simpler shell command but to no avail. Can anyone point out what it is I am
|

doing wrong??

Hi!
|
||
|
||
I'm trying to install a news system on my linux (1.0) which should easily interact with ifmail (or at least any fido gateway software), uucp, nntp and slip.
|
||
|
||
For several reasons (mainly the included nntp) I deleted the cnews system (which also was very slow on my computer) and installed the binary distribution of inn for linux. Everything seemed to work fine - no problems like these mentioned in the FAQs conce
|
||
rning innd not starting etc. Everything started - with ps -jax innd is seen to run with -i0 -p4.
|
||
|
||
I had no problems in connecting from an OS/2 computer with IBMs TCP/IP installed. Reading the news works, as well as locally with tin. But posting doesn't work, and in debugging with inews -h and looking at the syslog I got several error messages like 'ca
|
||
n't connect to server' etc.
|
||
|
||
Before going into detailed posting of my configuration and error messages: Can anybody tell me if I should continue with inn? I have no experience as a 'newsmaster' - cnews confused me with it's complex structure and the need for an external nntp package,
|
||
and inn seemed to work fine first.

|
||
I'm using Linux on a 486DX66 Labtop and I ahve the
|
||
following serious Problem which really did cost me
|
||
weeks of work and I could not get read of it.
|
||
|
||
You are now my last change to get Linux work resonably.
|
||
If you cannot help me too, I'll junk this Linux-shit!
|
||
|
||
My Problem is the following:
|
||
|
||
Sometimes, when I start XFree86 it hangs and the only
|
||
possibility that I have is to turn off my computer.
|
||
Well this schould not be so bad, sometimes systems used
|
||
to hang and for such cases there is the program
|
||
|
||
"e2fsck"
|
||
|
||
to repair the destroied filesystem after such a crash.
|
||
So I run it with option "-a" and it reports some errors,
|
||
fix it and tells me that I schould reboot the system.
|
||
(It really repairs it because when I run "e2fsck" imediately
|
||
afterwards with option "-f" it will not find errors any more.)
|
||
|
||
During the reboot the system comes up with the message
|
||
"filesystem clean, but when I run "e2fsck" after the reboot
|
||
there are the same errors again there!!!!
|
||
|
||
So it will destroy my filesystem peace by peace every time the
|
||
system hangs because I cannot repair the errors permanently.
|
||
My last system was so destroied that it refused
|
||
"root"-login!!!!!!!! So I got the newest version of Linux over the net,
|
||
reinstalled my system and now I have the same shit again.
|
||
|
||
So I hope that I made a mistake and you can tell me which,
|
||
otherwhise it's impossible to run such a shity operating system
|
||
on my machine.
|
||
|
||
|

Add the following line to net/inet/tcp.c (this only logs tcp but thats the
|
||
main stuff .. udp is connectionless so hard to log). [Put it up at the top]
|
||
|
||
printk("TCP connect attempt to %s port %d\n",

Add any user id info/times as desired to that.

With enough tty/pty pairs about 64 and it ought to be easy enough to

double but a bit harder to pass. I wouldn't want to pass 64 sessions on

I for one use tar and then gzip -9 to get smallest files, but gzip and then
|
||
tar in two cases
|
||
|
||
1. When I want to pull odd files out without uncompressing 30Mb of data
|
||
2. For backups. If you lose a chunk of a gzipped file you can throw it
|
||
away pretty much. If you lose a chunk of tar you can get the other
|
||
files out still.

You are a little out of your depth I assume. Get the SOCKS package from
|
||
sunsite, get the tis firewall package from ftp.tis.com and join the firewall
|
||
mailing list mentioned in its documentation. Prepare to learn a lot - but
|
||
yes it can be done. BTW allowing only outgoing telnet/ftp is pointless
|
||
anyone can telnet to a freenet site or a public service and use that to
|
||
access other services.

Yep. The internet is fundamentally insecure. Mail security is up to the end
|
||
user systems and agree policy between systems. Roughly speaking never trust
|
||
any kind of email. If you want trusted (and secure) email get PGP installed.

Updates gratefully appreciated. For example Rdb is available for Linux but

I don't have any blurb.

I can imagine 32 sessions each ttysnoop-ed through additional pair (ttysnoop
|
||
can't deallocate/reallocate tty/ptys, can it?).

Thanks to Terry Dawson who advise I should upgrade the ifconfig and give
|
||
me a pointer where I can get the newer version.
|
||
|
||
[Quoted from his e-mail to me]
|
||
|
||
It is simply an indication that your 'ifconfig' doesn't know
|
||
what the PPP protocol type is. You could upgrade it to a newer version.
|
||
|
||
You can get newer versions from:
|
||
|
||
sunacm.swan.ac.uk
|
||
net-tools-1.1.nn
|
||
|
||
where nn is the latest prior to, or equalling your kernel version.
