Please see this and check.. Description A vulnerability involving the do_mremap system function has been reported in the Linux kernel, allowing for local privilege escalation. Due to a bounds checking issue within the function, it is possible for local attackers to disrupt the operation of the kernel. Attack vectors also exist that may permit a local attacker to gain root privileges. This type of vulnerability will permit a remote attacker who has gain limited privileges on a host to fully compromise the system.

Thank you, Philip Tellis and S K Rahman. Actually, I took both of your ideas. I booted from the rescue disk, unmounted the home partition, and using the parted program on the HD, shrank that partition. Now I'll be able to load another distro on the comp and resize either whenever I wish to. Just posted this since it might be useful to others too.

Utility like "Postmaster" in Linux
by Nikhil Parva 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

Hi All, Do we have any utility/software in Linux which works like Postmaster in Windows. i.e. the software should be able to take a dump of all the incoming mails and then distribute them locally. All the e-mail accounts in the n/w would be configured in this software. This would really increase the download speed (for mails) for the end user, as the mails would be downloaded from the internal server. Any suggestions ! Regards, Nikhil

Repartioning the HD
by Ravi Desai 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

Hello, I have RH 8 installed on 10GBs and my home directory on 5GBs. The rest is taken up by windows. I want to repartition the drive so that I get space from my root and home partitions, leaving the windows partitions intact. I would prefer to use GNUParted, since it seems to be the easiest, but when i tried to resize the home partition, it says that the partition is in use, resize aborted. This happened even when I tried to do it while logged in as root. I tried to make a 'Parted' bootdisk, but could'nt manage to. Could anyone help me with this? I'd really like to try out and play with other distros too, and besides, I could use the extra distro to see if various progs and stuff work and i'm using them right(like trying to install a new window manager without messing up the primary system). Thanks, Ravi _________________________________________________________________ MSN Hotmail now on your Mobile phone. http://server1.msn.co.in/sp03/mobilesms/ Click here.

by BIJU KRISHNAN 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

Hi richard and hi all, I'll suggest these master pieces.....I have been coding Perl for around 2 years now and implementing IPtables for arnd 4 months....so if you think my expereince is reliable then yes my suggestions would be worthwhile... Perl : To start with Learn Perl in 21 days from SAMS publication. Once you are thru with the phase of initial coding jerks you can opt for the best Programming Perl by Larry Wall --Oreill'y Iptables : Well theres a book Linux Server Hacks from Oreilly but this link is fabalous.... http://www.linuxguruz.com/iptables/ As far as David Coulson's article is concerned no doubt its quite useful but def the above link has much more choices...... So enjoy Perl and Iptables and do let the group know if they were really useful.... bye rgds bijucyborg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

24Online client problem =(
by Dinesh Joshi 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

Hi guyz, I stay at mumbai and my cable operator has given me a 64Kbps connection. I use a 24Online client to login. I have dual-booted my system with Red Hat Linux 9. When I contacted him about using his connection in Linux he said that I could use it either in Linux or Windows. So I searched around the net for help when I came upon this mailing list. I have searched the archives and found that I should be using 'linc'. I have downloaded the i386 RPM. But I dont know how to configure it or use it. I am a newbie :). So I was wondering if someone had instructions about using this utility.

Free Software in a Maharashtra Govt Department
by jitendras＠vsnl.com 15 Feb '04

15 Feb '04

Implementation of Unicode Porting For Marathi using Free Software in a Maharashtra Govt Department Background Over the decade and a half in the past, indian IT industry driven by Central govt efforts and lead by C-DAC, NCST , IIT kanpur and other instituions, has done a commendable job of introducing local scripts on DOS and Windows platforms etc. So long as the computers were confined to typing and printing , and that too largely within the confines of an office or an enterprise, the ad-hoc i.e. Non-standard approaches followed were infact an unexpected delight! However now that the demands for indian language working are for computing ( which includes searching and sorting) , for communication across networks and across platforms and across applications the non-standard approaches are a problem. On top of it , due to globalisation , there is need for multilingual documents i,e a document simultaneously containing many languages including chinese/japanese and european etc . The need to create webpages with such multilingual content with interactions leaves very little scope o f choice other than unicode. Thus the old font-encoded content will simply not do. However many governement organisations , with progressive bureacrats wanting to change over to this modern format are blocked in the path by the huge legacy of documents in older formats. Hence the capability to transform the old content to unicode is a crucial requrement. Those who want to convert to use of Opensource software technologies are posed witth this problem even more acutely.There is not even that little chance of using old font-encoded content as may be available for the Proporietory software users. This felt need lead us to the project of porting to unicode in Directorate of IT in Maharastra Govt. As is well known , the Govt of Maharashtra is not only a leading state in the field of Finance and industry but also in the field of IT and e-governance. What is the Significance of this project ? This project of converting to unicod is , as far as we know, for the first time that a government body has undertaken to convert to unicode and that too on Free Software. 1.The most important effect of this will be to open the possibility to shift to OpenSource software by the governments or any other corporate body who have accumulated a lot of content in old font-encoded formats. This does not prevent anyone to work with (more recent versions of) proprietory software like Microsoft Windows 2000 onwards. In fact it is a necessary requirement for many of them. 2.The other significant advantage will be that cost of working in indian languages will be reduced drastically. 3.Thirdly all the content(information and data) will be available in sortable and searchable global format which is what unicode enables. This will fulfill a long-term requirement of many departments of IT in many governemnts and Publicsector organsiations. What we have Accomplished Government of Maharastra , being particular about standards, chose the best option of standardising on the government organisation like C-DAC and workind with ISM software and ISFOC fonts. They used the Lotus Word Pro software and Microsoft Word ediors enabled with marathi by ISM and iPlugin of C-DAC. We have converted this Marathi content originally created in various ISFOCfonts of C-DAC ( using ISM and I-Plugin in several proprietory softwares) into unicode based, open type fonts which have been developed and made freely available by us We had to convert the legacy documents into new encoding , integrate the same with existing Database of the Govt.(DJMS =Document Journey management Sysytem) . We worked with one department to start with, i.e. Directorate of IT . We have also installed opesource software i.e OpenOffice 1.1 in some machines and demonstrated its use and trained some people so that all fresh work can begin in unicode now. Task of making the Database metafiles in unicode has also been completed . Underestimation: Initially the department estimated about 1000 files to be converted. However , we have had to deal with about 6700 files , identified and picked out the files that required convesions and converted about 2000 files. For actual work see the table above for work accomplished. File Types and fonts: We converted files with tables 9real painful) and without tables, from Lotus Word Processor, MSWord, Power Point, EXCEL etc and using DV-TT, DVB-TT and DVBW fonts. Font Developed : We have also developed gargi font. Initiated By Dr Nagarjun of Free Software Foundation(India) , right from the beginning (july 2002 ) our personnel developed and now we at indictrans maintain the font.During conversion we came across some deficienciesin the font. See our site for the more complete snapshots of performance of our fonts in all platforms and applications. We have also developed a Gujarati font padmaa (Prof Jitendra Shah's mother's name) We have translated the GUI messages In Marathi and Gujarati , (while modified IndLinux) Hindi . Other Localisations achieved: As linuxers know , we have come out with a live, bootable CD enabled in 4 languages, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati with Debian GNU/Linux operating system and OpenOffice , Mozilla and other software. This is known s gnubhaaratii and has tutorials embedded in it. See www.indictrans.org for more details. We have translated GUI messsages in marathi, Gujarati for GNOME 2.4 and have modified some translations for Hindi as coordinated by IndLinux. We have also localsed DrGeo and other small software to show proof of concept of how to localise programs. We maintain a website as a collaboration platform www.indictrans.org jitendra

Use acpi. You could enable that with acpi=on in your lilo.conf. And i think the stock kernel by default supports this. HTH, : Andy

13 Feb '04

hi, ***KERNEL DEBUGGING i am trying to remote step-by-step debug my kernel using gdb but havent got any pointers/tutorials. I have kernel 2.4.20-8 as HOST and kernel 2.6.1 as TARGET. Basically i know nothing about how to setting up the 2 systems for it. I want both the KGDB and KDB way for doing it. ***COMPILING MODULE IN 2.6.1 I recently compiled 2.6.1 from source and its working fine( except a few glitches ). I am unable to compile my modules. $gcc -Wall -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -I/usr/src/linux-2.6.1/include -c module_name.c i get errors on 'module.h' and many other files. I have the all minimal required tools( since i compiled 2.6.1 ) i.e. gcc and module-init-tools etc... All the above modules compiled well for 2.4.20-8. Even a simple module just having a printk() doesnt get compiled. I even set up a link for asm but still the same. $cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.1/include $ln -s asm-i386 asm Kindly help!!! ===== Linux Kernel Consultant Tel : 91-22-2754-6453/4226 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi All, I read a thread about anti virus software recently and with the current flood on the servers, we were trying to implement an antivirus solution over Cpanel. Wanted to check up the performance of Exim + CLAM + AMaVis. Or any other feasible combination with Exim. How good is this compared to commercial solutions? Any inputs are highly appreciated!

InputMethod jar files in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/
by Nilesh Bansal 12 Feb '04

12 Feb '04

Hi, Brahmi(http://brahmi.sf.net) is a multilingual java based editor(for indian languages). indicim.jar(developed by IBM) is a jar file which implements devnagiri input method. Now to run this editor brahmi all I need to do is java -jar Brahmi.jar and i am able to use hindi in it. Brahmi uses indicim.jar which has to be placed in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ directory. All jar files placed in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ are like extension libraries and is available to be used by any jar file on your machine. If a jar file is not in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ then one must include it in CLASSPATH. Now the problem is when I remove indicim.jar from $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext and include it in class path it does not work(editor gives error while initiallizing hindi). I am unable to find the reason but i guess it is becuase of the fact that "all jar files in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ are trusted while others are not completly trusted". Is it so? Is there any workaround. Actully what i am doing is to make a webpage where in a java applet you will have Brahmi Editor and anyone can visit that page and write anything in hindi and then may be mail it to somebody. It assumes that end-user is non-techie who dont know how to install fonts or how to copy indicim.jar file to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/. Everything else is working except for I have to place indicim.jar in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ for this applet to work. Anybody having any ideas? -- Nilesh Bansal http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/nilesh/
