TCP_Timestamps and failed connections
by Jeffrey Ross 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

System is Fedora Core 3. I attempted to connect to eBay, the ip address was 216.113.103.100 this is one of their cgi servers (cgi-core.ebay.com). Originally I noticed that I was unable to completely load pages from them. Further investigation showed that it was only to certain IP addresses. After some additional looking I found that a Windoze machine was able to connect to this address with no problem. after looking at a network trace I found that the Linux machine correctly sent a SYN packet but no SYN/ACK was returned. The windows machine sent the SYN and promptly got a SYN/ACK in response. There were obvious differences in the options used in the SYN packet, primarily TCP Timestamps were enabled on the Linux system. After disabling the Timestamps connectivity was restored. The question now is, who's broken? Linux or eBay? Of course it probably doesn't matter as eBay is probably not going to fix the system as the majority of their users us Windoze. Lastly, this eBay server responded with "Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0" Ideas other than leaving TCP Timestamps disabled? Jeff

Anyone have Citrix ICAClient working?
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi all, Does anyone here successfully use Citrix's linux client on FC4 to access a W2K server? I'm using their ICAClient-9.0-1.i386.rpm (which is free), but when I try to access the Accpac Citrix demo server (http://www.accpaconline.com/asp/ACCPACFiberCloud.ica) I get a garbled, messy login screen that doesn't show anything correctly. I can login by typing blindly, though. Any suggestions? - Mike

These files are just samm html files. They were in good state and have been read sometime back. But now could not be deleted. Rest all others in this folder tree were OK and deleted. There were few other files also, in /lib directory corrupted like these, they were repaired by re-installation of respective RPMs; with help from this list. I have tried rm, cp on these files but without success. Saved above, as draft and then I did the blunder, reboot to level 1, (at grub prompt -> a 1 enter) # umount /home # fsck -f /home Now I realize my mistake /home is blank but boot time (show details) does indicated somefilescount/somebig-filescount. Is /home lost forever or some hope to revive? Thanks in advancce. -- Anil Kumar Shrama

problem with apache 2.053 on FC3
by Ankush Grover 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

hey friends, I was trying to configure postfix with starttls and was also configuring squirrelmail. I added few lines for squirrelmail to redirecting the traffic from port 80 to port 443.The port redirection is working properly but now I am not able view some of the directories like isoqlog and few other directories. I get this message when I try to view isoqlog or few other directories. Softwares like webmin are working properly means I can use them through browser. Forbidden You don't have permission to access /isoqlog on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. ------------------------------ SELinux and IPTables are disabled on this sytem. Lines added in the httpd.conf for port redirection. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$ RewriteRule ^/webmail(.*)$ https://192.168.1.68/webmail$1 [L,R] RewriteLog "/var/log/httpd/rewrite.log" RewriteLogLevel 4 </VirtualHost> Moreover I am getting this in the httpd/error.log [Tue Dec 06 18:55:47 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.68] (13)Permission denied: access to /index.html denied Even after disabling squirrelmail and port redirection in httpd.conf the problem persists. Any pointers why I am getting this error. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

Anyone know of a good open source/free vulnerability scanner they would recommend besides Nessus? Been googling, but a recommendation is preferred. Looking for another one to run and compare the results I get with Nessus. Thanks, James

CD Printer
by Peter Arremann 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Guys, I've been trying to track down both software and hardware to print nice looking CD labels directly onto the medium using Linux. A friend of mine is running a Epson R340 with the bundled windows software and it looks really great - much better than the paper labels most people use. The hardware side is the first dead end. The printer needs to double as a regular letter sized desktop printer. Unfortunately the R[23]x0 printers are all only partially supported according to everything I read on linuxprinting.org and others. HP doesn't seem to make a model that does cd printing. Neither does canon. The software is the second issue. GLabel looks good but how will it play together with the printer? I guess I'd then go through the template designer and then its trial and error from there... ? Any help is appreciated, Peter.

Hi Everyone I'm trying to back up /home to an external hard drive (maxtor usb) and wanted to keep the file permissions but when I do a cp -ar /home /media/usb it complains about not being able to do the permissions and they all go across as root instead. Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Thanks Bryan

Linux newbie question: problems using XDMCP to remotely start KDE session from a Windows PC
by Jason M. Dolinger 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi all, I am brand new to the Unix/Linux world, just started taking the plunge. First of all, please forgive me if this is not the appropriate place to ask such questions... I just installed Fedora Core 4 and have been playing around with it for several weeks now. I also have a Windows XP machine connected to the same router as the linux box. I'd love to be able to do everything from one machine, therefore setting up an X server on the windows box to run X programs and have them appear on my windows machine. I downloaded Xwin32 and have been able to do what I just described. However I'd like to take it to the next level and be able to popup the entire KDE desktop on my windows machine. I believe that the way to do this is using XDMCP, and then Xwin32 is only remotely managing the KDE session running on the Linux PC. However, upon trying to use the XDMCP option in Xwin32 to connect, my entire Windows desktop turns grey, with a slightly linux-y looking mouse pointer, but nothing ever happens. I need to Alt-tab to get back to any of my other windows programs. Has anyone ever seen this before? A few things: 1. In the KDE Login settings (I believe that runs gdmsetup), I've checked "Enable XDMCP" on the XDMCP tab (I'm using the SAMS Red Hat Fedora 4 book and it led me to believe that this is all I would need to do). 2. I've edited /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config to comment out the line "DisplayManager.requestPort: 0". I added a "!" in front of that line. 3. I've edited /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc to change the line "Enable=false" to "Enable=true" under [Xdmcp]. Both this step and step 2 I found from various internet postings and thought I'd give them a try. 4. On my network, my windows PC gets a dynamic IP address from my router and I configured the Linux machine to use a static IP. I've set up Xwin32 to connect to Linux using it's IPaddress, and the Xwin32 configuration specifies the IP address of the windows machine to route its display back to. Both machines can only ping each other using their IPaddresses, not hostnames (I've nothing set up in the host files for either machine). Between each configuration steps 1, 2 and 3, I restarted the Linux machine (the postings mentioned restarting just X, but I didn't know how to do that. They actually mentioned restarting the X server, but that didn't make sense to me. Isn't the Xserver what is running on my Windows PC, but I made the changes on the Linux side? I thought I would need to restart whatever is running on the Linux side, is that referred to as the X client?). Well, that's really it. Have I missed a magic step somewhere along the line, or is the problem more complicated, related to my hardware/firewall setup perhaps (I tried this while disabling my Windows firewall, no luck)? At this point, I'm not really sure if the issue is the Linux configuration, my network or the X server configuration on my PC. Maybe a different X server (CygwinX perhaps?) would give me better luck? Sorry if this is such a basic thing, I really am just barely starting to figure this thing out. Thanks, any help would be appreciated! Jason
