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 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

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

Hi, I've configured opie (one time passwords) under FreeBSD and I came across the following problem. It looks like libpam does not stop the authentication process when a 'requisite' module fails. I find this strange as the pam 'requisite' is defined in the man pages as: requisite - failure of such a PAM results in the immediate termination of the authentication process; Here

I having been trouble by this for a few days now and was wondering if anyone else has had any luck with this? I am currently running Samba 2.2.6pre2 on FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE I have successfully set up samba to be the PDC I am unsuccessfully trying to change the passwords on the W2k box and I am recieving the error that the user name/password are incorrect make sure the caps lock is not on.

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

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'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

What are the filesystem requirements for dovecot - for example I see some people are running with atime updates switched off (as I intend to do so myself), so presumably dovecot has no need of an accurate atime implementation. How about directory atime? ctime/mtime etc? I'm intending to run on a linux box using local disk, so am currently considering using reiserfs (3.6) with noatime,

Hi, I just started testing ext3 and perhaps I missed some docs explaining how to convert system partition other than /, like /usr for example . As I have 2 Linux versions on my test machine, I managed to convert /usr by entering the mount -o journal=NNN command from the second OS, but I don't like it. Any suggestions or docs to look at? Thanks in advance Vieri

Fellow riders of the bleeding edge of ext3 technology, I've been playing with ext3 on my workstation. For the most part it has worked very well, but right now I have a non-functional system. I've got patches out the wazoo on this kernel - 2.2.18 + Alan's 2.2.19pre13 + ext3-0.0.6a + i2c-2.5.5 + lm_sensors-2.5.5 + udf-0.9.3. Here is the output I get: EXT3-fs: WARNING: recovery

I managed to install 0.5d today. Got all 3 of my mounts converted (even '/' though it was a pain in the ass). Now on boot, I see: mounted /dev/hda1 on / EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode and the exact same thing for /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdb1. they all come up and appear to be working. so is this normal? Or did I manage to screw up somewhere? -- Douglas J. Hunley (Linux User

Hello! I'm using i868 (Pentium III) machine running Windows 2000 and running Linux, installed on dedicated partition, in parallel via VMWare. Linux config is RedHat 7.0 (kernel ) As I'm pretty new to Linux, I'd like to know exact procedure how to install ext3 filesystem support (also which packages do I need). My kernel config is as follows: kernel-headers-2.2.14-5.0

Hello, I downloaded yesterday the Red Hat 6.2 RPMs for openssl and openssh from one of the official mirrors. I could install them on a stock Red Hat 6.2 box because rpm -Uvh says (quoting from memory...): cannot install because there is dependency conflict between this rpm (openssh core) and the version of rpm and rpmlib that you are using...... In other words, the rpm packages generated

Hey there, I downloaded the Kernel Source 2.2.17 from the ext3 site, however I can't seem to figure out how these rpm's work (I don't like RPM's and I rather not use em either :-( no offense :-)) and I kinda miss the good old simple .tgz files which show me where they extract and I can compile myself n stuff. Anyways I tried rpm -iv <package name> then some stuff happened

After reading the related chapter in the Samba-3 HOWTO document I've tried to put the AD authentication in place in our network on two systems and I got stuck in exactly the same place. Here are the software configs I was using : Sys 1 FreeBSD 4.11 release sshd version OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030924 Samba Version 3.0.10 Sys 2 FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD amd64 OpenSSH_3.8.1p1

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

Hi. I have a question related to freebsd opie implementation.

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
