Workshop at SAKEC - details
by Ashok Iyer 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

Hello people, I visited SAKEC on the 9th and 10th of April and spoke to the HOD. Prof. B.R. Bairi and students. The registrations have begun and a rough figure will be available on the 16th or 17th. A few IEEE guys have come forward as volunteers. The workshop will comprise of final year and third year students from ETRX/Computers/IT. 100 or maybe more. First year and second year students cannot be accomodated due to space constraints. This is sad since these are the students who would be in a position to facilitate the growth of GNU/Linux movement in the college. But the principal wants it this way. For hands on training, a lab consisting of 20 computers, each with a CDROM drive, will be available. Other labs are also available but the computers - though branded and very new, do not have CDROM drives and do not have GNU/Linux. So Knoppix cannot be used for the hands-on progamming sessions in these other labs. ------------ Is there any alternative way in which we can use these labs for the hands-on programming sessions since 20 computers would probably not be sufficient? The college may dedicate a new upcoming laboratory for GNU/Linux. But they still have a lot of questions some of which may be answered during the workshop. Unfortunately, due to lack of awareness among students and staff, the college alone accomplish this. So, we have the additional responsibility of convincing the college staff and answering their questions. This is important considering the fact that the college does not have a single person (student or staff) who knows the benefits of using GNU/Linux. Even if some students are enthusiastic, the management will not give students any freedom unless they are themselves satisfied. Therefore, one of our aims during the workshop, should be to facilitate the develpment of a GNU/Linux laboratory. -------------- A classroom that can accomodate 100 odd students has been arranged for. The problem is that the room is beautifully lit by sunlight so I wonder how the presentation slides would be visible. Silly, but is a valid point, nevertheless. :-). Any suggestions? The people who have confirmed their presence for the workshop are Dinesh Shah, Harsh Busa, Trevor Warren, Dr. Nagarjuna and Warren Brian Noronha. More speakers are needed. Please come forward.Veterans, newcomers . . The following is a tentative list of topics: 1. Understanding Software Freedom with GNU - Murder of the Myths 2. Getting around with GNU – OS basics, GNU/Linux commands and desktops. 3. Installing a dual boot GNU/Linux system 4. Economies of Free Software and revenue models (3 and 4 will be combined) 5. Text editing with VI and Emacs, programming with Shell Scripts in Bash and C programming with GCC – Hands on session for students in the laboratory. 6. Basics of System Administration and networking – commonly used commands and networking concepts. 7. Wonders of GNU - Where and how is GNU being used? How can students benefit? 8. Introduction to web technologies – Apache and writing CGI applications with PHP. 9. GNU/Linux Online Resources + Q & A sessions. Topics may be clubbed together, added or deleted. Since the workshop is for 2 days, maybe we need more topics. Harsh, Trevor please suggest. Apologies for the exceedingly long mail. :-) Cheers, Ashok

[Fwd: [RHSA-2003:089-00] Updated glibc packages fix vulnerabilities in RPC XDR decoder]
by Trevor Warren 14 Apr '03

-----Forwarded Message----- From: bugzilla(a)redhat.com To: redhat-watch-list(a)redhat.com, redhat-announce-list(a)redhat.com Subject: [RHSA-2003:089-00] Updated glibc packages fix vulnerabilities in RPC XDR decoder Date: 10 Apr 2003 19:33:00 -0400 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated glibc packages fix vulnerabilities in RPC XDR decoder Advisory ID: RHSA-2003:089-00 Issue date: 2003-04-10 Updated on: 2003-04-10 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: sun RPC XDR integer overflow Cross references: Obsoletes: RHSA-2002:166 CVE Names: CAN-2003-0028 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated glibc packages are available to fix an integer overflow in the XDR decoder. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386, i686 Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386, i686 Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, i686, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386, i686 Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386, i686 3. Problem description: The glibc package contains standard libraries that are used by multiple programs on the system. Sun RPC is a remote procedure call framework that allows clients to invoke procedures in a server process over a network. XDR is a mechanism for encoding data structures for use with RPC. Glibc contains an XDR encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation, which was demonstrated to be vulnerable to an integer overflow. An integer overflow is present in the xdrmem_getbytes() function of glibc 2.3.1 and earlier. Depending upon the application, this vulnerability could cause buffer overflows and may be exploitable leading to arbitrary code execution. All users should upgrade to these errata packages which contain patches to the glibc libraries and therefore are not vulnerable to these issues. Red Hat would like to thank eEye Digital Security for alerting us to this issue. The Red Hat Linux 8.0 errata packages also contain a number of bug fixes that are not security related. For details, see the list of bugzilla bugs fixed by this errata or the ChangeLog. [Updated 9 April 2003] Some bugs newly introduced by the Red Hat Linux 8.0 errata packages has been discovered, such as wine problems or problems with debugging threaded applications. Once the glibc upgrade has been completed, you must either reboot the system or restart all programs on the system (for example, by using telinit 1 and switching back to the old runlevel). Rebooting the system or restarting the system programs is necessary to avoid vulnerable glibc copies in memory and because changes in NSS internal interfaces which mean that one cannot mix old NSS modules or libresolv in an application with upgraded NSS modules or libresolv in one running application. If sshd is running so that the other services can be restarted remotely or for a remote reboot during an unattended glibc upgrade, glibc will also restart sshd. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info): 76531 - /etc/group breaks when lines longer than 671 characters 77467 - upgrade to RH 8.0 glibc breaks mysql remote connections 81901 - character limit on any line in /etc/group - not to exceed 860 82565 - Commands that access group names fails when NIS group is large 82619 - maximum number of users in group 82645 - SEGV in __res_nquery (/lib/libresolv.so.2) 82662 - regex library handle initialized values and crashes 88052 - register_printf_function() forgets to clear table 88056 - double free() from iofclose() on libio/tst-fopenloc 88093 - setcontext() is not signal safe 88099 - buffer underrun in read_input_file/gencat.c 88101 - using uninitialized local variable in math/test-tgmath 88104 - uinitialized variable used for __ieee754_gammal_r(NaN,) 87656 - LTC2324-Thread improperly loses lock on mutex when thread is cancelled. 86359 - /lib/i686 no longer used? 86339 - Update to glibc-2.3.2-4.80 breaks SSH 86465 - Undefined __ctype_b using glibc with ncurses 86468 - crossover 1.2 does not work since export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 workaround in glibc is missing. update 8.0 glibc 86534 - RedHat's glibc-2.3.2 and Samba -> assert_uid() failures? 6.

by Royce & Sharal Pereira 14 Apr '03

Hi, ----- Original Message ----- > standard hardware and it detected and worked properly. Incidentally, I use a 810 Motherboard with Intel PIII 800 Mhz, 256 MB ram, 2 x 40GB HDDs, >CDWriter, DVDROM and printer. I'm Planning to buy a PC for home. It will be a Celeron 1.2G, due to cost considerations(compared to P4). Are there any issues re installing Linux(specifically PCQuest Linux 8.0) on a Celeron system? Any particular motherboards or peripherals/cards I should avoid (or use)? Thanks, --Royce.

Workshop at SAKEC - sequel to earlier mail
by Ashok Iyer 12 Apr '03

12 Apr '03

As per further discussions with the IEEE guys at SAKEC who have volunteered for the event, the following points are now clear: 1. There are around 95 registrations already completed. The registrations are carried out through the IEEE forum website so the possibility of dummy registrations are minimal. 2. There will be a public address system (mike+speakers) etc. , LCD projectors etc. available. 3. The problem of sunlight can be offset using venation blinds. :-) Regards, Ashok -- <-------------------------------------------> <The box said: For Windows 95 or better. . .> <So I installed Linux! > <------------------------------------------->

server rebooted
by Amish K. Munshi 11 Apr '03

Greetings, My server rebooted yesterday evening, I would like to know the reason for the same. The /var/log/message has the following lines. Apr 9 16:08:13 newserver named[5358]: lame server resolving '189.187.106.202.in-addr.arpa' (in '106.202.in-addr.arpa'?):202.106.196.28#53 Apr 9 17:01:01 newserver su(pam_unix)[29172]: session opened for user bin by (uid=0) Apr 9 17:01:01 newserver su(pam_unix)[29172]: session closed for user bin Apr 9 17:18:08 newserver init: cannot execute "/sbin/shutdown" Apr 9 16:07:22 newserver syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

What I noticed is that the system time was 17:18 when the shutdown was attempted by init, but when the server came online again the time in the log is shown as 16:07, is this due to a system (software) crash? The uptime gives an uptime of 9 hours right now, while it was 180+ days before. SYSTEM INFO : RHL 8.0, AMD 1.3G 512MB RAM. Bye. -- Amish K.
