*Do not* downgrade system-installed compilers and libraries!
To get Red Hat's 2.96 compilers, install the compat-gcc* RPMs. To get
the original 2.95.3 compiler, grab the tarballs from gcc.gnu.org and
build from scratch. If you do the latter, then be sure to do static
linking.

Howdy:
Running RHEL v. 3.0 (new installation); logged
onto the X session (KDE).
I had recovered my users directory when
I seem to recall that some environment had been
preset in the .bash_profile. So, I edited
the file and tried to re-source it. When I did
an 'env', I saw that the settings were still there;
so I unset <whatever> by hand and made sure
that there was nothing like this in the /etc/profile
or /etc/bashrc files.
I open a different shell and env says the settings
are still there.
On my ssh term (Putty) - I su-ed to that user and
the settings were not there.
Why is that?
Thanks!

We have just installed Samba on RH 9 and it appeared
to install properly. When we attempt to login with:
smbclient //myserver/myfolder
we get a successful connection.
We also have a DOS client on the same network,
that is running LanMan. At the DOS prompt, when we
enter 'net', a window displays that has a 'browse' selection.
When we select 'browse', we see a list of all users in the
workgroup, including the Samba server. However, when
we select the Samba Server, we get this message:
Error 53: The computer name sepcified in the network
path cannot be located.
The Server can successfully ping the DOS client, and the
DOS client can successfully ping the Server. The Server
name and IP address were added to the DOS 'lmhosts'
file, and the DOS client was added to the Server /etc/hosts
file.
We have a disk share named 'hostpc' set up on the Server,
and the 'smbclient -L bigdog' command will display the share.
On the DOS client, when we enter:
net use G: \\bigdog\hostpc
we get the same error 53 message.
Attached is a copy of the smb.conf file.
Can anyone tell us what we have missed in the setup?
Thanks,
BillyD

Howdy:
Brand new to the list, hope to learn and help as much
as I can.
I installed RHEL ES 3.0 on an Intel box. The install went
smoothly and I am at the point where I can do just about
all I need. I want to ping an Windows 2000 server but
I get "Destination Host Unreachable". I try to ping the
Linux box, but get 'Request timed out'.
I am able to ping all other machines from other domains but
the Linux and Windows server aren't talking to each other.
The IS / network team suggested that because the network is doing
100T full-duplex, the servers may not talk to each other
(It is my understanding that the network auto negotiates, but
that's another story) and I need to configure my eth0 card
to do 100 Full instead of 100 Half Duplex (the messages
file confirms that I am doing 100 Half Dup on the Linux box).
Is it possible to force the eth0 card to do 100 Full on a
auto negotiating network like the Windows box? If so, how?
Thanks!

I need to know what is your experience on dealing with mail attachments:
1. forbidding extensions
2. automatic deletion of attachments infected or that come in conflict with
no.1
3. Creating new mail for user with formerly infected message as attachment
and with body containing message like "Infected mail received from <>"
4. Auto-replying ONLY with verification of mail sender with mail like: "We

Hi,
I installed RH 9 on 10 linux boxes, home directory is mounted via nfs,
users are authenticated by LDAP-Server.
Everything looks okay, but:
If users work with gedit and they save their file (on a local
directory), gedit freezes for 10 to 20 seconds.
On the other hand Staroffice loads a file from nfs very fast, you don't
have to wait for network directories, This problem only appears with gedit.
I have no idea where to look for. As top reports no cpu or memory
problem, I think access to nfs or ldap server might cause this slow down.
This problem didn't appear in RH8.0
Any ideas?

I can only second that.
It is very easy to set up and amavid-new already ties into SpamAssassin so that's takes care of Spam as well.
amavisd-new already has a list of attachments you can block and you can add or remove to/from that list very easily.
Notification emails are also configured via amavid-new.

Offsite notification for infections is pretty much useless these days, the infected email hardly ever originates from the actual person owning the mailbox.
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/ - Amavid site
http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html - postfix docs
http://www.clamav.net <http://www.clamav.net/> - clamav
As a sample of files I block by default (pipe separated):
vbs|pif|scr|bat|com|exe|dll|ade|adp|bas|bat|chm|cmd|com|cpl|crt|exe|hlp|hta|inf|ins|isp|js|jse|lnk|mdb|mde|msc|msi|msp|mst|pcd|pif|reg|scr|sct|shs|shb|vb|vbe|wsc|wsf|wsh
All my infected emails are quarantined and the receiving user in my domain is sent a notification, should there be a case where the email actually contains content of value it is easy enough to retrieve it from the quarantine location.

One of the solution :
postfix+amavisdnew+clamav.
I just built a new box like that this week-end. It works quite well.

Bare with me for a few seconds, I know this topic has been discussed but I
need a few more details that didn't got touched by previous postings.
So mainly I need an av solution for e-mail scanning on mail server. BUT...
:)
I need to know what is your experience on dealing with mail attachments:
1. forbidding extensions
2. automatic deletion of attachments infected or that come in conflict with
no.1
3. Creating new mail for user with formerly infected message as attachment
and with body containing message like "Infected mail received from <>"
4. Auto-replying ONLY with verification of mail sender with mail like: "We
received infected mail from address <>"
10ks in advance
P.S. Must be free, with as much sig. updates as possible

Hi All:
I having a bit of a problem adding an entry to a crontab file.
Actually the adding works fine, it is just the command will not
work.
Here is what I have so far:
1. The following command works correctly from the command line:
/usr/bin/find /usr/faq/xpt -name "RCTTAX.*" -mtime +90 -exec rm {} \;
2. When the command is added to a shell script file as above or
to a crontab file as:
0 2 * * * /usr/bin/find /usr/faq/xpt -name "RCTTAX.*" -mtime +90 -exec rm
{} \;
The execution fails with
/usr/bin/find: missing argument to `-exec'
3. I have been doing this for years on various different UNIX
systems without any problems.
Any thoughts of suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Hugh

Open /etc/resolv.conf
Put something like this in there.
search domain.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
alternatively you can use redhat-config-network to edit these settings
(this is an X-interface)

Yes absolutely. I've been using this machine as a home network gateway
and firewall (and I run a website and email server on it, the latter
even earns me money) very successfully for about 2 years(?) Pmfirewall
is great. Part of the reason I'm so blindingly ignorant is that I
haven't had to think about it.

Yes definitely. I'm looking at the pmfirewall script, which consists of
several components. The initiating script speficially allows incoming
and outgoing icmp and then calls a masquerading script.

I looked it up as best I could in several Internet sources and all I
could find is that RDP uses port 3389.

This statement is already in pmfirewall and it appears to run correctly.

Here are the three statements I inserted at the end of the pmfirewall
script:
$IPCHAINS -A input -p tcp -s 64.232.168.34 3389 -d 66.93.153.62 3389 -j
REDIR 192.168.1.2 3389
$IPCHAINS -A forward -p tcp -d 192.168.1.2 3389 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A output -p tcp -d 192.168.1.2 3389 -j ACCEPT
Running "ipchains -L input" appears to show that the first statement
above is not loading, so that must be what the error message refers to
when I try to restart pmfirewall.
"ipchains -L input" shows (among other entries):
ACCEPT tcp anywhere 192.168.1.2 any-> 3389
"ipchains -L output" shows (among other entries):
ACCEPT tcp anywhere 192.168.1.2 any-> 3389
Now I strongly suspect there is something wrong with the syntax of the
input statement. I tried several different variations, but could not
find one that would appear to do what I want that would not produce an
error message. The message BTW is, "Try '/sbin/ipchains -h' or
'/sbin/ipchains --help' for more information." If I rem out the
statement and then restart pmfirewall, the message does not appear.

> What other error messages in the logs?
Hundreds of messages a day reflecting denials from a wide variety of IP
addresses, but nothing, I think, out of the ordinary.

You mean shut down my firewall -- on purpose?
Ho brother, does that make me nervous, but I guess I can do it for a
couple of minutes.
