EXT3 developers: I am curious, if EXT3 is currently being used on the root partition in "data=ordered" mode (the default as I understand), and I want to have the it come up in data=journal mode, how do you effectuate this conversion? I would also be curious how to know if anything special is required for doing so for the /boot partition as well. I believe that with the /home partition,

...sers can overwrite files writable by user bin and/or group root. local and remote users can execute commands as user bin, group root. From this point, a clever attacker can obtain root.

I'm also CC:ing this to Ulich Drepper who is the maintainer of the glibc library at Cygnus & also Erik Troan at RedHat. The problem is that WinNT has a bug in which it sends 64 bit lock range requests to systems that only have 32 bit lock ranges available, despite being told via the protocol not to do so (just another area they never tested I guess). Samba is fully 64-bit clean on a 64 bit system and wi...

I just had a remote root break-in on my machine (x86 running Red Hat Linux 5.0 with all the updates except for kernel-2.0.32-3) this morning at 06:03:28 EDT. From what I''ve been able to gather, it appears to have been through snmpd, which I missed when I was weeding out unused daemons.

Users of previous releases of Red Hat Linux are strongly encouraged to
