cxterm is a Chinese terminal emulator for the X Window System. It''s installed as suid-root by default if you did a make install. Just like xterm, it does needs to be suid to update /etc/utmp...blahblah... I discovered some buffer overflow bugs in it. The code attached below is the exploit. Quick fix? chmod -s /path/cxterm

Hi, I'm running Samba 3.0.11 on RedHat ES 3 kernel version 2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp and have a quick question about AD group membership limits Am I right in assuming that Samba is limited by the group membership parameters (ie NGROUP = 32) imposed by the Linux kernel? Is there any workaround in Samba for this? At the moment if a user is a member of more then 32 domain groups they cannot access

Hi, I''m new to the list. I intend to learn about some Linux Networking features to help myself and others. I''m looking to control the bandwidth in my office. Basically there are like 20 computers, a 2MB Adsl Line. And I would love to let them only use a certain amount of bandwidth. For example let every client use 20KB of internet bandwidth of the 210KB we can download

Hi! I have some problems with htb performance. THE SETUP: I have a network with 3 ISP uplinks and 1 local network uplink. There are about 1700 clients. I was shaping their bandwidth with HTB using iptables mangling in a manner: tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:10 classid 1:${CLASS_ID} htb rate \ 16kbit ceil 512kbit burst 2kb prio 2 quantum 1500 tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:${CLASS_ID}

I''m a tc newbie, and I think I am close to being able to use it to control one of the virtual web sites on our Gentoo Linux server. The site has it''s own IP address.

Here is how I had configured it: tc

Hi all, Im new to all this, and am still trying to get my head qround some of the concepts of how this all works. Ive read the howto''s, man pages etc. Ive setup packet shaping on my router/server box using HTB and SFQ, but its not working the way i would like. Im after shaping that has "weights" for classes so that a lower priority class will slow down when a higher class
