As an experiment I set up Challenge/response authentication on a Linux system with PAM using a pam_opie module (this module works fine with console logins and su). I can log into the box using the opie password, *but* it does not give me the challenge - which can make things a little tricky :-) I can well believe this might be a fault in the PAM pam_opie module I am using, so has anyone got

Stephen et al, You may remember me raising the point that the new e2fsprogs (1.25 as I remember) griped about old journals not having all the appropriate fields zeroed. I've just discovered that the RH 7.2 installer produces journals (ie on partitions created as ext3 from within the installer) that flag these warnings with a modified 1.25 e2fsck (the mods being to clear the errors rather

I'm looking at running an ext3 filesystem on top of a loopback AES encrypted device, which in turn is on top of a raw partition (so no other things in the way that should be reordering writes). Are there likely to be any strange issues with using ext3 in this way? Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham@InTechnology.co.uk ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and

I appear to have a broken filesystem on this box to the point where I am probably going to rebuild the system since I have lost trust in it.... I was wondering if there was any reasonable postmortum work I could do on it before it gets rebuilt. History is that the laptop has a much mauled partition set on it - initially it came with 100% win2k, I then shrunk that and added linux (a RH71 install

Has anyone worked with getting dovecot to work in a HA cluster using heartbeat? If so do you have any magic startup scripting or other special sauce? [I'll be playing with this over the next couple of days, although concentrating on pop for our requirements. I can post any scripting I produce] Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham at InTechnology.co.uk ] [ -

Hi, To to build an RPM from the nut 2.0.3 source I've corrected the old nut.spec.in file. Please find a copy of the slightly updated spec file attached. The changes are documented at the bottom of the spec file.

Has anyone tried LFS (ie >2G files support) and Ext3 together? Are there good reasons why this should/should not work? I see the RH enterprise kernel patch set specifically does not attempt both lfs and ext3, but the lfs patches themselves touch some reasonably localised parts of ext2, so I would hope (without having dived in there to test), that the ext3 changes would mirror that

I'd been hoping to move all of our site to ssh protocol 2 whilst we are still small enough to do this without serious pain, however the lack of authentication and connection forwarding is making that difficult at present. I see the current (2.2.0p1) code base does not have the code on either client or server side for ssh2 to handle tunneled connections or authentication agent. Is this

Long ago, when I wrote the ssh config file on my desktop box, ssh (which might have been the non-openssh one) took 3 possible values for the StrictHostKeyChecking option - yes, no & ask. Today, when I attempted to connect to a new machine, with no DNS entries (so using IP address) from my desktop box, ssh (now 2.3.0p1) SEGVed. Looks like there is some subtle interaction between having an

This appears to be rather poorly supported compared to the rsa key equivalent... The man page implies that ~/.ssh/authorized_keys & ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 are similar format. In fact the code will only read DSA keys from the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file - the options entries are not supported, and putting options in causes key recognition to fail. I guess ideally the key reader needs

I've currently got a couple of boxes which obtain their IP address via DHCP, and as a consequence do not have a mapping in /etc/hosts for their own IP/name... but helpfully (!) they have their name mapping to 127.0.0.1 This breaks X authentication... - openssh (and also ssh) makes an apparently valid xauth entry, but all attempts to start clients gives "X11 connection rejected

Hello, I am using kernel version 2.4.7-10 I upgraded one of the ext2 partition to ext3. the partitions are nearly empty. I ran a program to create empty files, having names in lexicographical order. The time taken to create empty files (100 .. 100000) is same on an ext2 partition and a ext3 partition. Can anyone pls. tell me why there is no difference in the time taken. Is the htree algo.

I have a question regarding a thread in June called "Distinct transactions", which I have included below. It seems to me that the solution is not atomic for daemons opening the file as there is a moment where the filename is not in the directory (i.e. unlink then link). In summary, poster Charlie Woloszynski wanted to update a configuration file in a safe manner (i.e. as a

I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime. At that time, it was just enabled with -t/--times. After some time, we have figured out that that choice might not have been the best. Here's a new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime instead. It also includes a test case. Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?

Greetings all- I am conducting security testing on a device that uses Linux 2.4 with ext3. I am testing secure overwrite of remnant data in temporary files, but have run into a real good stumpper in the way Ext allocates data blocks. I've got 10 yrs of *NIX behind me, several with Linux, and this has really got me perplexed as I can't find any documentation explaining the subject

Hello, since we are using rsync for backing up millions of files in a virtual environment, and most of the virtual machines run on SSD cached storage, i`d be curious how that negatively impacts lifetime of the SSD`s when we do rsync run every night for backup my question: does rsync normal file comparison run to determine if anything has changed change atime of any files ? for me it seems,

Often we need to preserve the information atime conveys, but I have found no way to get rsync to preserve this, nor any hint it is being worked on. It would be great if 'rsync -t' also set atime not just mtime -- or maybe a new option is desired for atime. I don't know if the -X mentioned in "NEWS file from CVS" covers this: > Added the --xattrs (-X) option to preserver

Hi Everyone, The following feature request was received by a Debian user; could you comment on it? I think this seems reasonable, but perhaps should be enabled only conditionally (as if the argument parser isn't stressed enough).
