Wifi WEP / Cisco aironet wireless internal card 802.11b
by Guillermo Garron 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi, I have a IBM ThinkPat T30 a Cisco Aironet wireless internal in the laptop 802.11b only. It works great with open Acess points, but when i try to connect to encripted ones. I got the dialog box asking for the passphrase 128 bit, I enter it and after that i receive the dialog box again! Maybe my card do not support WEP or I am doing something wrong? Here is part of what i can see on /var/log/messages thanks!

help with Intel GMA 950 3D graphics card
by Julio E. Gonzalez P. 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi!. I recently buy a new notebook, and install CentOS 4.3 on it. This because I'm in charge of a lot a servers with Centos installed, and want to use only one distro in all my machines. And, because of course I really like Centos for desktop too. :) The notebook comes with Intel GMA 950 video graphics. I can use it with the vesa driver of Xorg, but I also want 3D graphics, for some games, wine, etc. Is there _*a easy way*_ to use 3D in Centos 4.3 with the GMA 950 video graphics card? I believe that Xorg 7.1 have support for this card, but Centos comes with a older Xorg. Also... the same cuestion, but for configure and install the intel wireless 3945ABG card. I already tried ndiswrapper (don't work for me) and the open source drivers (compilation problem). Thanks. Julio.

XFS and CentOS 4.3
by Mark Strong 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi All, after looking around for info on XFS(the filesystem) and its use on CentOS and/or RHEL 4. There seems to be a lot of noise about 4K Stacks (especially on linux-xfs(a)oss.sgi.com) So what is the best way to get XFS working with CentOS 4.3 ? And not have something like this happening. A quote from the xfs list at sgi >On Tue, 18 Jul 2006 at 10:29am, Andrew Elwell wrote > >using the 2.6.9-34 centosplus SMP kernel (3GHz P4 with >hyperthreading enabled) > >what we normally (~once a day) is simply > >do_IRQ: stack overflow: 416 >[<c0107a27>] >You don't want to use the XFS in the centosplus kernel.

Do I need a kernel with 8K stacks? and is this http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-34… the "kernel-module-xfs" RPM he was talking about (or equivalent for `uname -r` equals 2.6.9-34.ELsmp).

Email dictionary attacks and firewall
by John Hinton 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I keep seeing 'Joe Average compromised computer on broadband' being used to do email dictionary attacks on our systems. Seems I always have several domains going through these. One in particular has been in the 'a-' list for weeks with about 20,000 attempts per day from various systems. Yeah, I do have a system which blocks email from these systems for a period of time after 3 bad email address attempts.... throttling... Anyway, this brought to mind.... Joe Average! Joe Average buys a broadband connection, has someone hook up his computer.. talks to tech support about everything and eventually, an AV subscription dies or something and Joe just doesn't care or doesn't know how to deal with that. Meanwhile Joe's computer gets a virus allowing some baddy to start sending email. Joe notices his computer is getting a little slow.. but it's not bad enough to worry about. So, this made me start wondering about how to do something that makes Joe's computer so slow that he finally gives up and calls in tech support to fix the damned thing. I wonder if there is a way that a firewall rule could be written, that would let a trickle of the connection from Joe through, so as his dictionary attack gets backed up with a huge number of connections which are trickling through at such a slow rate, with maybe just enough delay built in to make it keep trying.... Basically making Joe's compromised computer useless.. and maybe he'd at least turn it off if it didn't lock up all by itself.... It is so very sad that some providers don't monitor their own people. I see where comcast has now slid down to number 8 after holding the number one spot as the biggest spammer network for a very long time. Good for them! It seems the undisputed king of this world now is verizonbusiness.com.... bad bad very bad.... Sorry.. yeah.. a bit off topic...... John Hinton

Openswan 2.4.6rc5 under CentOS 4.3
by Bas Rijniersce 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hello, I'm trying to get Openswan running in a CentOS 4.3 environment. I want to modify as little as possible so that the machine can be kept up to date easily. I'd rather not compile a special kernel, but if that's the only solution, no problem (I don't need NAT traversal). It's running kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL. Installed the kerneldevel RPM (and kernel src rpm as well). I compiled openswan with: make KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ module minstall (and same for progs) Module seems to load fine, lsmod shows as loaded. I do get quite a bit of output on the console that I don't know is normal: ---- Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:ipsec_eroute_get_info: buffer=0pc9cce000, *start=0p00000000, offset=61, length=1024 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: for: rn=0pcce7a5a8 rj_b=-3 rj_flags=6 leaf key = 00000000->00000000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: processing leaves, rn=0pcfc9c280 rj_b=-1 rj_flags=4 leaf key = 0a010000->0a020000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: while: base=0p00000000 rn=0pcce7a5a8 rj_b=-3 rj_flags=6 leaf key = 00000000->00000000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: for: rn=0pcfc9c280 rj_b=-1 rj_flags=4 leaf key = 0a010000->0a020000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: processing leaves, rn=0pcce7a5d8 rj_b=-3 rj_flags=6 leaf key = ffffffff->ffffffff Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: while: base=0p00000000 rn=0pcfc9c280 rj_b=-1 rj_flags=4 leaf key = 0a010000->0a020000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:ipsec_rj_walker_procprint: rn=0pcfc9c280, w0=0pcc83df20 ---- The problem is when I restart the machine, or just restart the service. It panic's :-) Not a good thing for a box that will be hidden in a closet in India :) I video of the crash can be found at: http://www.brijn.nu/openswan_crash.avi (151Kb) This machine is running in VMware at the moment. I have the same problem in a "real" machine (identical setup) Can I build the module as I did, should that work OK? Any other suggestion on what might be wrong? Thank you very much for your time!

Printing problem with CUPS and lp/lpr
by Alfred von Campe 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I know that printing on Linux is somewhat of an art form, but I have a fairly simple problem. I used the following command to configure a networked printer (HP LaserJet 8150): lpadmin -p name -E -v socket://name -m laserjet.ppd -u allow:all - u deny:none This added and enabled the printer, and I can print to it using the print command from within a GUI application and PostScript utilities like enscript. However, printing simple text files from the command line using lpr or lp produces undesirable output that looks like this: Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 It seems rather obvious that the printer is expecting carriage returns and not getting any. What is the "right" way to fix this using CUPS, which "owns" the /etc/printcap file. I can't be the first one to run into this issue... Thanks, Alfred
