There is a serious problem with the makewhatis cronjob under Redhat Linux 4.0/3.0.3. You can use it to overwrite any file on the system. Redhat is aware of the problem, and said they would have some kind of fix by next week which should be plenty of time before this bug is exploitable again. #!/bin/sh # # blowitawaysam # # makewhatis is a shellscript that stores a tmp copy of the whatis #

I updated my x86 machine day before yesterday, and I noticed two things. The clamav user and group was deleted, and not recreated, and when the makewhatis ran, I got a page full of "zcat: stdout: Broken pipe" entries. What gives with the makewhatis and clamav? Was clamav removed from the software? I encountered no errors when the transaction check and transactions were run.

This behaviour is confirmed for RH70, RH62, Debian 2.2 on 3 different Pentium-class i386. I've checked back and package ann_0.2-2 works on 1.1.1, but fails with seg. faults on 1.2.0 (ann_0.2-2.pre3.tar.gz to accommodate the change in Makeconf) and subsequent (1.2.0 checked today on RH62 with gcc 2.95.3 19991030 (prerelease)). It is most likely that 1.1.1 was too forgiving, and that better

After you do your update, done forget to do updatedb, makewhatis, ... The locate for rpmnew has a couple items of interest and the locate for rpmsave returns one that occupies 24MB of your precious disks - /var/lib/Pegasus/prev-repository*. It compresses nicely to appx. 1MB, cpio bzipped --best. Change in your rndc key too, for DNS.

Well after I tried it the ./configure on all machines ( 4 total) I ran a few other compiles of other programs and figured out what was missing. Evidently the RH62 kernel "forgets" to put a symlink from /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 --> asm. I put that in and presto ./configure creates the Makefile and I am compiling 2.0.7Pre2 as we speak. What keyed this was trying a kernel compile,

Being new to Linux (RH62) and Samba, I have a simple question and that is does Samba load automatically when the server is rebooted or do I have to write a script or configure a setting to have Samba load at bootup?

Hi users of EL6 based distributions, I'm pleased to announce a new alternative binary package repository for EL6 x86_64. The aim is to provide a supplemental set of packages which may contain software not included in your base system. These packages are based on pkgsrc, a cross-platform package manager. In this initial release there are 13,152 packages available. For now I am specifically

Hi, all-- I've always thought that specifying sections via "man -s 1 man" or "man 1 man" was ugly, and didn't work very well with filename completion.

You helped me a few weeks ago setup DarkIce. Well I had nothing but problems doing it on RH62 so... here I am again but this time armed with RH71. I followed your instructions for installing lame and ogg vorbis and it's all fine. When I tr to install DarkIce though I get the following error. # make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/download/darkice-0.6' Making

Just looked at the log from the x86_64 machine and I see the same zcat: stdout: Broken pipe in the 00-makewhatis.cron job as on the x86 machine.

I am trying to compile R-2.3.0 (both first release and patched 2006-05-10) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 7) using the Portland Group compiler version 6.1 and the notes from Jennifer Lai on p33 of "R Installation and Administration" version 2.3.0 (2006-04-24). I have not used this compiler before, so it is possible things are messed up more than usual, even
