by Kishor Bhagwat 26 Jun '01

26 Jun '01

hi folks! i've managed to download the 2.4.5 kernel..(thnkx krishnan for offering ur cd) I've currently got 2.2.14 on my Suse box. I've also gone thru the Changes file for the new kernel, and accordingly downloaded new e2fsprogs, modutils, binutils egcs etc.Before i take the plunge, i wanted to know if anyone has done this beofre on suse...what happens to yast? will it still work? any gotchas/caveats etc etc? also, the new kernel requires me to go back to egcs 1.1.2 which means an older gcc than the one currently on my system... what happens to my other applications? well..i think i;ve asked more than enuff questions in one mail! tia kishor _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi Everybody somebody sniffed our local network! that automatically generated mail on our RH 6.1 server (posted earlier) was generated by linsniffer only. I found the same mail generated to another address max_003_2000(a)yahoo.com with subject "F the rwetter" he replaced the netstat,ifconfig,top,ps to some older version created on Sep 26 1983. chor is here n /dev/ida/.inet ls -l /dev/ida/.inet -rwx------ 1 root root 7165 Sep 26 1983 linsniffer* -rwx------ 1 root root 75 Sep 26 1983 logclear* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Jun 22 14:09 pid -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 701 Jun 13 16:53 s -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4060 Sep 26 1983 sense* -rwx------ 1 root root 8268 Sep 26 1983 sl2* -rw------- 1 root root 541 Sep 26 1983 ssh_host_key -rw------- 1 root root 512 Jun 22 14:09 ssh_random_seed -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 686535 Dec 3 2000 sshdu* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 936166 Jun 22 15:03 tcp.log 'tcp.log' is the list of username, passwords & some contents of outgoing mail. mostly pop3, ftp passwords are listed which are using on other windows clients.

Installing Linux
by noel seq 25 Jun '01

25 Jun '01

I am unable to install RHL 6.2 on my 20 GB Hdd. The partitions created are 2 gb Win 250 mb /boot 256 mb swap and 3 gb linux. The rest of the spave is kept blank. After creating the partitions, setting up the ip and the xserver, it installs the rpms after this it gives the following error exception occurred /usr/bin/anaconda line 342, in ? and the error list goes on. I tried installing specific rpms and still the same problem. I have installed with the same cd a few times previously without any problems. what could be the error.
