<0> with gssftp, how do I set up kerberos ?
<0> what do I use for the realm ?
<1> Lets say the /etc/[distro]-release file is deleted... is there another way to determine the distro ( let alone the version ) if this file is missing or deleted? I mean is this file really the ONLY sure fire way to get the distro and version of a Linux Installation?
<2> yup
<2> rpm -qa
<2> check the kernel version is usually a quick way to tell
<2> also core **** like glibc, basically anything that is part of the minimal install (i.e. core system)
<2> doo-de-doop
<1> kernel version? no no
<1> rpm -q --queryformat='.%{VERSION}' fedora-release &>/dev/null; if test $? = 0 ; then echo "Is a Fedora release"; fi
<2> planetxm: he just said the redhat-release is missing
<2> soooooo
<2> or fedora-release I ***ume is what he meant if there's no /etc/*release
<2> man chroot
<2> sadly pam_chroot died a long time ago
<2> chroot is not a really effective security mechanism though
<3> hmmm
<4> ya but thing is guys... anyone could simple delete these little files and you then would never know REALLY for sure which version or disto!
<2> my advice: either use proper file access controls
<2> planetxm: er no
<2> planetxm: only root can delete that file
<2> and like I said. just query various packages for version # and you'll know in 1 second
<1> ok say you running a distro that does not USE rpms ?
<2> then you're not running fedora
<2> or anythig red hat ships
<2> so a) go to #debian
<2> or b) go to #gentoo
<2> thanks for playing
<1> oh how detailed! not running fedora ( I know heheh debian or gentoo ) im just saying that there isnt a hard coded non deletable method to determine distro/version.
<3> well there has to be a way... webmin comes to mind as being rather good at determining what distro its running on
<2> of course not.
<2> it's software BTW
<2> so nothing is "hard coded"
<1> ya..true
<1> I like the rpm -q method as a back drop to a missing /etc/[distro]-release file...
<2> man rpm
<2> man dpkg
<2> etc
<1> seifried3: Here are some ways... couple ways with 'rpm' 1) rpm -qa | grep release 2) rpm -q --queryformat='.%{VERSION}' fedora-release &>/dev/null; if test $? = 0 ; then echo "Is a Fedora release"; fi 3) cat /etc/*release* 4) cat /etc/*version* ... other than that ... release is not much else.. kinda WEIRD.. there should be a sure fire way .. but then again how would you? Can not build it into the kernel cuz a kernel is seperat
<5> vi /boot/grub/grub.conf
<5> heh
<1> just throwing ideas out there.. I think I now have my methods
<2> planetxm: why are you talking to me?
<1> talking to channel then my friend.
<1> Open Source Peoples.
<1> Fedora 5 is lookin smokin hot
<1> altho I will never hardly use the xwindows
<2> anyweb: how's life?
<4> I can not WAIT to see the day M$ gets trampled ( finally )
<5> seifried3, tis cold. -6c
<4> I work at M$ on ( long horn / Vista ) the next winblows to come out.. and FYI there are more problems with the damn thing then they can shake a stick at... they say 2006 will be the 'Year of Linux'
<5> planetxm, http://linux-noob.com/screenshots/fedora/5/T2/screenshots/
<4> yes very nice anyweb..
<2> heh warm as hell here. 2C above
<5> lol
<2> anyweb: BTW fedora core 5 on the sun x2100........
<5> got in my car yesterday morning, and it was -10.5c
<2> gets about 70% through package install for a minimal install
<5> bloody freezingg
<2> and dies
<4> anyweb: do you know if they worked out the Virtual PC on fedora 5 yet? you know? having multiple OS's running on the same machine? simitaniously
<4> ?
<2> I can put off buying a hat for another year. hahah!
<5> planetxm, i'm running fcr5t2 now, havnt looked into xen at all
<2> only got to -20 this year for like 2 days
<5> seifried3, some people have complained that fcr5 doesnt install for them
<5> could be duff cd/dvd
<4> Xen yes thats what I meant.. xen is gonna ROCK once the bugs get ironed out.. imagine the possibilties with Xen.. it will be like Zen hehe
<2> anyweb: nope
<6> People are so fawked.
<6> I can't believe people are complaining because they have to use strong p***words.
<7> in a shell is there a command to check the last ip the exact last ip that logged into my account?
<8> you mean before or after you were hacked ?
