BIND 9: out-of-zone errors
by Mayur Joshi 12 Aug '01

12 Aug '01

Dear Linuxers, I've migrated from BIND 8 to BIND 9. I corrected most of the errors in the zone files but a few domains still giving some problems. This is what happening when I start named. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aug 10 12:59:15 interpole named: named startup succeeded Aug 10 12:59:15 interpole named[4097]: using 1 CPU Aug 10 12:59:15 interpole named[4101]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' Aug 10 12:59:15 interpole named[4101]: the default for the 'auth-nxdomain' option is now 'no' Aug 10 12:59:15 interpole named[4101]: no IPv6 interfaces found Aug 10 12:59:15 interpole named[4101]: listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 Aug 10 12:59:15 interpole named[4101]: listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 192.168.1.2#53 Aug 10 12:59:16 interpole named[4101]: dns_master_load: citymarts.com.b:16: ignoring out-of-zone data Aug 10 12:59:16 interpole named[4101]: dns_master_load: citymarts.com.b:17: ignoring out-of-zone data Aug 10 12:59:16 interpole named[4101]: dns_master_load: citymarts.com.b:18: ignoring out-of-zone data Aug 10 12:59:16 interpole named[4101]: dns_master_load: citymarts.com.b:20: ignoring out-of-zone data Aug 10 12:59:16 interpole named[4101]: dns_zone_load: zone citytymarts.com/IN: could not find NS and/or SOA records Aug 10 12:59:16 interpole named[4101]: dns_zone_load: zone citytymarts.com/IN: has 0 SOA recordsAug 10 12:59:16 interpole named[4101]: dns_zone_load: zone citytymarts.com/IN: no NS records Aug 10 12:59:18 interpole named[4101]: dns_master_load: indiainformation.com.b:18: ignoring out-of-zone data Aug 10 12:59:21 interpole named[4101]: dns_master_load: shivalogy.com.b:17: ignoring out-of-zone data Aug 10 12:59:23 interpole named[4101]: running ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The name server starts but these zones will not work correctly.

ARIS worm notification
by Parag Mehta 12 Aug '01

12 Aug '01

Hi, As you're aware, the ARIS worm is spreading real fast on the Internet. My dial-up machine has received nearly 200 ARIS probes from infected machines since this morning, in about 6 hours of uptime. SecurityFocus has setup an ARIS notification address. They will notify the administrators of infected systems given the IP's of these systems, which will help curb the spread of the virus. This is a request to please cull your HTTP logs (if you're running HTTPD) and send the appropriate information to SecurityFocus. The command to do this is: fgrep ".ida?XXXXX" /var/log/httpd/access_log | \ cut -d" " -f1,4,5 | \ sed -e 's/[][]//g' | \ Mail -s "ARIS Infection Report from httpd access_log" aris-report(a)securityfocus.com [Line may have wrapped] This would work on a RH 6.2 system. Please use the appropriate path to your Apache logfile for other systems. Regards, PM

But as a >normal user, aumix says "error opening mixer" Maybe it has something to do with the devices having only root permission? Even I have this problem. I cannot run mp3blaster (which I use only for volume control) as anything but root. For playing mp3's I use splay. 4 times faster on my machine. Even for that I changed the permission of /dev/dsp. quasi

Rp3 Config
by Nikhil Joshi 11 Aug '01

11 Aug '01

Hi ! I have this weird problem. I share my pc with my younger brother .I have the root password. Now whenever I add an ISP account in dialup config it appears globally i.e. my brother is also able to access that account. We use different ISP's I would like to configure rp3 so that my brother will not have access to my ISP and he should be able to add his own ISP. How should I go about it? P.S. Just tried Black Box. Really cool and fast. -- Every time I look at you I am more convinced of Darwin's theory.

sndconfig
by Sameer Shinde 11 Aug '01

11 Aug '01

Hi Friends, I want to install sound cord on RHL 7.1 I tried sndconfig, but it says that there is no pnp or pci type of sound card. I have Yamaha opl3 sax, isa 16 bit sound card. How can I install it? ( I checked hardware compatability on the redhat.com, & the sound card is fully supported by the RedHat 7.1 ) I heard, we need something called isapnptools, to install the sound card. Where can I get it. There is no such rpm callled isapnptool on the installation CD. Thanks & Regards, SAMEER :)) ~~~~~ My Messanger IDs MSN: s2sameer Yahoo!: s9sameer RediffBol: s2sameer Indiatimes: s2sameer AIM: s2sameer ICQ : 126769285

Unknown Error: Directories Corrupted
by Mayur Joshi 11 Aug '01

11 Aug '01

Dear Linuxers, I'm running RH 7.1. Yesterday, I found a directory /usr/local/src corrupted. I can't cd into that directory. The output of ls -l gives. ?--s-w-rw- 10172 2381774154 666668534 4257099022294712319 Apr 5 1958 /usr/local/src Note the timestamp, going back to 1958. Really wierd output. Today morning, network failed. Can't even bring up lo interface. Says /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts: No such file or directory. $ ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts ?--------- 50680 1904803840 2332316496 14160381047924035664 Jul 12 1937 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts Has anyone encountered this type of problem. As a root also I cant do anything. Also, lately I upgraded to RH 7.1. When I ping any host it gives me Warning:time of the day goes back, taking countermeasures. If you notice the timestamp of the above 2 directories, it has gone way back. Can there be any link between these two?
