Ping of Death. Anyone else seen FW warnings on this?
by jludwig
My firewall has been hit with the POD over 100 times (on port 6346).
The issue would be almost laughable except the question of if this is being
used to locate some other vulnerability in IPX, UDP, or any other transport
mechanism?
Has anyone else been hit, and does anyone know of any reason why anyone would
use this "archaic" DOS?

I have FC4 with Dovecot installed and I keep getting an eroor that it
won't start.
/etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot.pem permission denied.
I have looked online everywhere I can think, and I know that it has been
covered here before..... but PLEASE HELP ME!!! This is about to drive me
nuts. I have regenerated the RSA stuff and all that and it still
won't start. I can't fine any logs on it either.
Any help would be appreciated.

Newbie Questions
by Timothy Brooks
Hello,
I am about as new as they come. I have downloaded Fedora and am about to
install. I have a Windows 98 machine and am not sure if I want to set up a
dual boot or just put Fedora on this computer. It is an older machine
(500MHz, 128 RAM) but I would like to see what Linux/Fedora is like. What
would you recommend?
I need some instructions on installation of Fedora from a hard drive. The
instruction with Fedora are too limited for me. Can someone please direct
me to a more detailed source.
Do I need to burn the .iso files to CDs? I understand you cannot just copy
these files, that they need to be copied as .iso images, correct? What does
what I just said mean? Copy as an "image". Is there a setting in my CD
burning program that I need to use?
I think these questions help the group understand my level, which is very
Newbie.
Does Fedora have programs with it? Does it include a browser or program to
check email? Word processing? Or will I need to find Linux software for
this computer?
Sorry for the simplicity of my questions but as they say, you need to start
somewhere.
Thank you for any direction.
Tim Brooks

no sound from internal mono channel on Aopen MiniPC
by John Cole
Hello,
I'm trying to get the internal mono sound speaker to work on an Aopen MiniPC. I get sound from the external jack but none from the internal speaker.
Scouring the web, I have performed the modprobe pcpskr and gotten it to appear in a lsmod after a reboot. I have made sure it is not muted and the volume is up (among many other combinations :-) )
The documentation seems to indicate that the internal speaker is a mono sound channel, so I don't know if it is supposed to use pcspkr or not.
Here are a few things from lsmod
pcspkr 3653 0
snd_intel8x0 30301 3
snd_ac97_codec 83937 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_ac97_bus 2497 1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_seq_dummy 3781 0
snd_seq_oss 28993 0
snd_seq_midi_event 7105 1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 47153 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device 8909 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss 45009 0
snd_mixer_oss 16449 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 76997 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 22597 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd 50501 15 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 9377 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 10441 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
I am currently using Fedora Core 5 Test 3 but I have tried several distros and all behave the same way.
Any suggestions would be apreciated.
Thanks,

Broken nsswitch.conf with Fedora?
by Ralph.Grothe＠itdz-berlin.de
Hello Fedora users,
I don't get nsswitch to work as I am used to it on other Unices
such as Solaris (ok, it has to work on the inventors' OS, hasn't
it?)
or HP-UX.
The problem is that I need to register private (virtual) IP
addresses
that are neither routable nor resolvable by any DNS server (even
our own),
but whose bidirectional resolution is required by certain
applications.
This is usually no problem because it boils down to registering
them in /etc/hosts,
like in the old days.
Because nowadays there is a multitude of name services (e.g. DNS,
NIS, LDAP)
one would have to configure the name service switch.
But this is usually as simple as telling applications to use the
local files
before referring to any other name services.
e.g. on an HP-UX box I would simply add these entries
$ uname -srv
HP-UX B.11.11 U
$ tail -1 /etc/hosts
123.123.123.123 sample.our-rotten.org sample
$ grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns
Now on HP-UX the getent tool lacks, but therefore they provide a
tool called nsquery
which is equally suited for testing the nsswitch.
$ nsquery hosts sample
Using "files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns" for the hosts policy.
Searching /etc/hosts for sample
Hostname: sample.our-rotten.org
Aliases: sample
Address: 123.123.123.123
Switch configuration: Terminates Search
$ nsquery hosts 123.123.123.123
Using "files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns" for the hosts policy.
Searching /etc/hosts for 123.123.123.123
Hostname: sample.our-rotten.org
Aliases: sample
Address: 123.123.123.123
Switch configuration: Terminates Search
As can be seen resolution works bidirectional independent of what
any nameserver may have to say
(because it isn't even bothered)
The nice thing on HP-UX is that they even patched their nslookup
resolver tool to honour
nsswitch.conf settings
$ nslookup 123.123.123.123
Using /etc/hosts on: venice
looking up FILES
Name: sample.our-rotten.org
Address: 123.123.123.123
Aliases: sample
$ nslookup sample.our-rotten.org
Using /etc/hosts on: venice
looking up FILES
Name: sample.our-rotten.org
Address: 123.123.123.123
Aliases: sample
So this is the functionality I expect from any modern
Unix-(SysV)-like OS.
However, so far I have never achieved this on Linux (or a RedHat
based distro to be precise)
I assume that I simply lack some lib or maybe a PAM patch.
So doing the same on this Fedora 3 box I get
$ uname -srv
Linux 2.6.9-1.667smp #1 SMP Tue Nov 2 14:59:52 EST 2004
$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)
$ grep ^hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns
$ tail -1 /etc/hosts
123.123.123.123 sample.our-rotten.org sample
$ getent hosts sample
123.123.123.123 sample.our-rotten.org sample
$ getent hosts 123.123.123.123
$ echo $?
2
Why isn't it doing reverse lookups?
Needless to say that neither nslookup, nor host, nor dig
care about the content of nsswitch.conf but instead straight away
seem to query the first nameserver from /etc/resolv.conf.
These are the DNS related RPMs installed on the box
$ rpm -qa|grep -E dns\|bind
bind-libs-9.2.4-2
ypbind-1.17.2-3
bind-utils-9.2.4-2
$ rpm -qf /etc/nsswitch.conf
glibc-2.3.3-74
$ rpm -qf /etc/resolv.conf
file /etc/resolv.conf is not owned by any package
$ rpm -qf /etc/hosts
file /etc/hosts is not owned by any package
I consulted the RedHat Refernce Guide
but the only reference to the nsswitch therein
relates to LDAP.
The rest is silence.

Re: Problem installing from ISO

The files I downloaded are:
FC4-i386-disc1.iso
FC4-i386-disc2.iso
FC4-i386-disc3.iso
FC4-i386-disc4.iso
When I look on the CD, I see just the one ISO file.

Re: Problem installing from ISO
by linux70＠comcast.net
100% user error. I was using the wrong burn ISO option. One was to copy/burn image, and the other was copy ISO to data disk. Thanks for the help.
