Since this works fine on my SUN, I am assuming that this is linux specific.
Anyone know why my .bashrc does not run when I login??? I thought that if 
you had a .bashrc in your $HOME directory, it would get executed? What file
is supposed to look to see if there is a .bashrc to run??? 

And my alaises are not enabled either. Where does the system get these defaults 
from? There isn't a HOW-TO describing this is there???

Thanks...

I don't think you need a patch to compile correctly.  I compiled mine on 
1.1.35 kernel.  I got a few warnings but that's OK.  All i did was to modify 
the pathnames.h and run build lnx.

Date: 5 Sep 1994 19:50:24 -0400

A lot of things have changed in recent kernel releases. I'm currently
running v1.1.37 with QUOTA and ACCT patches, but it won't patch up to
v1.1.49 cleanly. Usually I'd just go in and apply the patches by hand
but this time it doesn't look as easy as it normally does.

Anyone know if QUOTA/ACCT will be available for the 1.1.49 (or is it
1.1.50 now?) in the near future? I ask now mostly because of the Linux
code freeze for 1.2.0 being in affect.

Thanks for any help.

That's an ftp client application.  We are talking about the ftp daemon.

Something weird is going on here.  I jumped from 1.0.9 to 1.1.45 wtihout
any problems.  I applied the APM and QLogic SCSI patches to try out.
(I don't think these are the problem, but read on...) I also applied the
.46->.49 patches.  I recompiled the kernel, installed it and rebooted.
I went to recompile the kernel again and noticed after about an hour it
was only on irq.c.  It was massively swapping.  I started up top and
watched it for a bit and noticed something really nasty.  Top said
that I had 1500K of memory available.  I actually have 4 meg.
I stopped the build of kernel.  I deinstalled the .49 kernel
and re-installed the .45 kernel (with the APM and QLogic patches).
After rebooting, the kernel (and top) report that I have 3112K free to
use.  So there appears to be something wrong between .46 and .49
that has changed the way the kernel is recognizing memory.
I'm going to apply each patch level individually and see if I can
spot at which level it breaks.

Hope this helps,
Alan

You don't say what news software you're using, but for INN it's handled

I apologize.  I am the author of the /bin/login replacement that is included
in the shadow-mk package.  Mohan Kokal, the author of the shadow-mk package,
is not to blame.  I had asked him not to distribute my (ugly) source.  :-)

>Ok, I will now follow up on my earlier post about the shadow-mk

>I would advice anyone that has installed this package to remove it.

This is not necessary.  The source for the binary in question will be
posted later this evening.  I need to return to my linux box in order
to upload it.  I do not have it readily available at the moment.

>I have received an email from someone who also noticed the
>installation of the login.secure binary, for which no source is
>provided.

I will post the source to the /bin/login replacement that I wrote, and trust
on my own system.  I did not realize that the net would grow so suspicious.
I should have known better.  :-)  After all, it could be snake oil, for
all the net knows.  I realize now, especially after reading the files 
focusing on security issues that were included with PGP, that it is *very*
important to make the source available to public scrutiny.  Indeed, for
similar reasons, I do not trust Clipper encryption (aside from the gov't
back-door).

I will also post the version of GCC with which is was compiled, the version
of libc with which it was compiled, and the compilation flags, so that
each person make verify that it is indeed the source from which that 
binary was created.  I will also have Mohan Kokal include the source in
future versions of the shadow-mk package.

In the meantime, I will detail how my patch works, and how it closes the
now well known hole:

My patch simply forces all argv[] elements beginning with a - to be no
longer than 2 characters long, by writing a 0 into the third position
after the dash.  Thus, if a user tries login -froot, the "r" in root
would be overwritten, and the remainder, "oot", would be affectively
truncated.

Furthermore, my patch addresses another security issue, the misuse of
the semi-documented -h switch, by disallowing anyone with a real uid greater
than 100 from using it.

Once all paramters have been patched, and the absence of -h is assured if
UID>100, all parameters are passed to an unmodified /bin/_login.

Again, as I said, the source will be posted later this evening, along with
GCC version, libc version, optimization flags, and so on.

>In his correspondence with the author of this package, that author,

To whom are you referring?  Mohan Kokal may have a number of accounts on
various Linux boxes, for various reasons.  If you are referring to one
of these accounts, please make known the people involved, as well as 
circumstances in greater detail than you have.  This is an accusatory 
statement based on heresay and circumstantial evidence. 

Furthermore, "bragging about violating computer security" may be something
as simple as "whoa... on an older Linux box, I noticed a hole in crontab
that allowed such and such..."  or "yeah, I used rlogin to gain root--that
old /bin/login was a joke."

I, as well as some others, I am certain, would like to see a factual basis
for this outright character assassination that you are making.  I have no
reason to doubt that you may be able to support your statements.  However,
I also have NO reason whatsoever to believe any of your closing statements.

Hi!

From what I recall, the numbers you listed are the speeds of the
serial port itself.  The seed of the modem is set using the
initialization string that you send to it and don't have to be the
same.  Use the 19200 baud speed for your serial port.  That way the
serial port sends to the modem at 19200 baud, the modem then
compresses and sends the data over the phone lines at 14400.

Agree.  I have a STB Powergraph X-24 ISA.  It's a very nice card.
Very fast for this price ($125 at Treasure Chest).  

BTW, I do have some funny problems on the clock-synthesizer.  It takes
about 5 second to set the clock, no matter when I start the X, or when
I switch the mode.  It works fine, just takes some time.  Someone
suggests that it might be my monitor problem, 'cause I have a cheap
no-name monitor (Korean made SVGA NI).  Is it the problem you're
talking about on the synthesizer of recent boards?

Thanks.

You'd think it was the end of the world... have you considered that
perhaps your Sun and your Linux machines have different versions of
Bash or that your Sun and your Linux machines' copies of Bash were
compiled with different options?

May I recommend typing:

        $ man bash

        or

        $ info bash

It works 9 out of 10 times for answering questions about Bash.

Until then, create a file called .bash_profile and put the following
text into it.

======= start of cut text =======
source ~/.bashrc
======= end =======

The new /bin/login is statically linked, using maximum optimizations,
and is stripped, to make the smallest possible binary.

Again, as I said, the source will be posted later this evening, along with
GCC version, libc version, optimization flags, and so on.

To whom are you referring?  Mohan Kokal may have a number of accounts on
various Linux boxes, for various reasons.  If you are referring to one
of these accounts, please make known the circumstances in greater detail
than you have.  This is an accusatory statement based on heresay and 
circumstantial evidence. 

Furthermore, "bragging about violating computer security" may be something
as simple as "whoa... on an older Linux box, I noticed a hole in crontab
that allowed such and such..."  or "yeah, I used rlogin to gain root--that
old /bin/login was a joke."

I, as well as some others, I am certain, would like to see a factual basis
for this outright character assassination that you are making.  I have no
reason to doubt that you may be able to support your statements.  However,
I also have NO reason whatsoever to believe any of your closing statements.

Subject: Deleting route to interface eth0 (timed out)
Date: 05 Sep 1994 19:10:58 GMT

Hi,

Every time I boot my Linux system, I get the following message in 
/var/adm/syslog:

  routed[55]: Deleting route to interface eth0 (timed out)

Checking both syslog and last, I have determined that this occurs 3 minutes
after booting. When that happens, I lose all routes and have to manually run
"route add" commands. After doing that, everything works fine.

Details:
  Slackware 2.0 with the following upgrades:
    Kernel 1.1.49 (also happened with 1.1.45 and 1.1.35)
    NetKit-A-0.5, NetKit-B-0.4

Can anybody help? Email is preferred, I'll summarize to the newsgroup.

Thanx,
--

        It's probably not going to work unless you've installed the "mh"
package... and it sounds as if it's not installed on the system you're referring to.

Where can I get a copy of GATED for Linux with OSPF enabled? All the ones
