<0> phaid how safe you reckon i am with this crappy rh7.0 install behind a hardware firewall allowing * out, but only 80,22,25,110 in?
<1> 25 running sendmail?
<0> ye, probably
<0> i guess thats a bad idea tho
<0> hehe
<1> you probably should make sure its patched up at least
<1> there's been a few DoS issues with it this year
<2> are you planning on having several users on the box?
<0> ofc yea, i'll be upgrading all open daemons to their respective most recent rel
<0> stryka: nope, just me and my coadmin, the box will be serving multiple websites via apache and tomcat
<0> and mail in/out
<0> thats it
<2> should be okay in terms of anyone infiltrating you so long as your software is recent
<2> if the box is online right now I would highly suggest upgrading ftp/ssh asap though, or disabling ftp if you don't need it
<3> Idle`: wake up
<4> blueneon you pretty much need to upgrade all of those services
<4> certainly the versions of sendmail and sshd that RH7.0 shipped with both have remote root-exploitable bugs
<2> didnt rh7x come w/ wu2.6.1?
<1> i believe so. but he didn't list ftp as a service that was going to be available
<2> yeah was just saying in the mean time.. the way I always get probed
<5> what?
<5> I just got in
<5> ..
<5> jesus... we're 29gb away from completely filling our tapes
<5> that gives us another 10 days
<6> What's a good quick way to mount a drive from another Linux system on my Linux system (both on the same LAN/subnet)
<3> nfs
<7> dumbhack: nfsd
<7> you need to edit your exports file
<7> load nfs
<7> and mount -t nfs server:/mount/this/dir /mnt/remoterdir
<7> YAY DONE
<8> hey guys i got a weird *** problem here, one of the linux machines here wont link up on my switch, the light on the back of the nic keeps flashing, i took the box to another location and it worked fine
<8> now i bring it back here and it doesnt work again, i changed cables, and different ports on the switch
<5> god damnit
<5> ****ing cisco pile of ****
<0> whats the easiest way to upgrade my remote server (remotly) from rh7.0 to 9 and how large of a download are we talking here?
<5> blueneon: oh man
<5> dont do 9, 9 is very old as well
<5> go all the way to fedora
<5> it will basicly completely reinstall evertything
<9> or centos?
<0> ok but bare in mind that i only have remote access to this box
<0> so what are my options here?
<9> a upgrade from 7 to 9, will probably mess you up good, and you will have a box that wont work.
<9> at least thats my experience
<5> yep
<0> and to fedora?
<9> with ubuntu though
<9> same =/
<5> your kinda screwed with remote access
<9> yeah
<0> so what are my options stay with rh7.0 ?
<0> :(
<9> patch all utilities, and upgrade what you can?
<3> pay the $x for a reimage
<5> upgrade everything manually
<5> I agree with Qwell[]
<5> I also hate cisco
<5> ****ing thing
<9> well, thats basically all the choices really
<5> what the hell
<5> open my ****ing port
<0> so leave the kernal as is, but upgrade the packages?
<9> yeah,
<5> permit tcp any any eq 510
<9> basically
<0> will yum do the job ?
<5> so .20 works, .19 does not
<5> what the ****!
<9> probably not
<5> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/Bartelby/NewImageLarge-1.jpg
<5> haha
<0> if i use a rh9 repository for yum, and then do yum upgrade sendmail for example ?
<9> but its the thing that will get you closest?
<9> heh, that way, you might end up with a screwed sendmail though
<0> surely that would upgrade the sendmail package to the latest or at least rh9 compatible version and all deps?
<0> ok then what did u mean by upgrade manually?
<9> probably one package of the time
<9> =`?
<0> yes and sendmail is a package no?
<9> or maybe from .rpm's
<0> :)
<0> yum uses rpms
<9> well yeah.
<9> but if you do a yum install
<9> with rh 9 rep's
<9> itll prolly install a lot of other packages, that wont work =/
<9> unless you only specify sendmail
<0> but a yum upgrade using the rh 7 reps doesnt upgrade anything :/
<9> 0o
<9> well
<9> if rh 7 reps is still maintained
<9> you'r box should at least be safe, no?
<0> thats the thing i highly doubt its maintained
<0> its 6 years old
<0> lol
<9> why cant you just get it reinstalled to either newer rh or ex. CentOS?
<9> or better, debian =)
<10> hello, where should i set "modprobe aes" (for wireless device) so it will be load on every boot ?
<11> hi
<11> I upgraded python on a legacy version of redhat and it destoyed my print configuration and the tool. does anyone know where I can get printconf-tui for redhat 7.2?
<0> when i try do a yum update i get Error: MD5 Signature check failed for /var/cache/yum/updates/packages/man-1.5i2-0.7x.5.i386.rpm
<0> wtf
<12> hello
<0> [root@localhost /root]# rpm --checksig
<0> rpm: no packages given for signature check
<0> guess thats why
<0> how do i install the sigs?
<0> :/
<13> what's the best and fastest way to go about learning linux?
<3> chains: RTFMing
<13> so basically just learning on your own?
<11> manuals are your friends now
<13> well they always have been
<13> i was just wondering how much there is to learn by taking some linux cert cl***
<13> cuz i've had a few cl***es at school that really taught me nothing more than i already knew
<14> just scratches the surface
<13> yah, i was extremely disappointed
<13> and it makes me wonder how much there is to know when applying for a linux admin job
<13> is it just a matter of understanding man pages and documentation?
<13> heh
<14> cert prgrams are distro dependant
<13> i guess that's true
<14> no guess, its a fact
<14> RHCE doesnt make you a Debian guru
<13> well isn't there a core set of similarities between practically all linuxes?
<3> chains: There is only one Linux
<14> somewhat
<13> true but some of the basics like editing config files is a big part of the work
<11> LPI cert is distro independant
<13> ie, knowing vi is like expected
<3> there is a lot of distro dependent stuff
<3> ie; configuring a NIC
<14> is lpi even a factor nowadays.
<13> i see
<3> or the init structure
<11> they cover some legacy stuff
<13> so it's a matter of picking a distro and learning "it"
<3> chains: no
<13> or a set of distros
<14> pretty much chain
<13> heh, i'm getting 2 different answers
<3> what did you expect? :P
<13> not sure. i guess just re***urance that the world of linux is split open
<13> and it's a matter of how familiar you are with whatever dist
<13> i think my disdain to code/script/program is going to hold me away from linux though
<11> if you can't code then open source won't help as much
<13> oy
<5> god damn proprietary bull ****
