<PinkBunny> howdy, whats the best way to m***deploy slackware (say 80 workstations that are pretty much identical) .. I was an automated solution (along the vein of kickstart and fai, except I just want to dd whole image)
<tech-> when you're here about that kind of serious thing you better stay here for more than a few minutes..
<Drown_> http://www.metacafe.com/watch/25089/video/
<norton_> doesnt slackware ship with root CA certs in openssl?
<Jaani> is there a dvd link for slackware which i can download ?
<champi0n> dvd is unofficial i believe
<jack-home> morning
<gammy> So, anyone know how to patch the local race vulnerability yet?
<Drown_> yeah, 2.6.17.5
<Drown_> covers both of the recent ones
<Drown_> ohh .6 is out
<Drown_> looks like they went overboard with the vuln fix haha
<gammy> really?
<gammy> :D:D
<Drown_> http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.17.6
<gammy> yeah read it earlier
<felix> ?
<Drown_> .4 fixed the prctl privesc and .5 covered the proc race.. then they back-coded in .6 because they ****ed something up in the fix i guess
<Drown_> felix: ???
<felix> what was the exploit that involved /proc?
<Drown_> oh..
<Drown_> code is up
<Drown_> looks like /proc/self/environ = PAGE_SIZE and they fill it with junk in some manner
<Drown_> http://downloads.securityfocus.com/vulnerabilities/exploits/h00ly****.c
<felix> heh
<Drown_> it was posted on friday, to FD
<felix> oh WOW
<felix> that's just dumb
<felix> that the kernel coders would ever let /proc/self/environ be executable
<felix> let alone SUID
<Drown_> there isn't much oversight when it comes to the kernel
<Drown_> if they are unsure, turn X off when possible, but include EVERYTHING
<felix> oh wow
<felix> seems i thought about this a long time ago
<felix> i already have /proc mounted noexec
<Drown_> http://metasploit.com/research/misc/mwsearch/
<Drown_> ahahaha
<Drown_> that is awesome
<Drown_> hmmm, we could actually use that here
<Drown_> update via google and tie it in to a blacklist
<Drown_> then again, seems like a wasted effort
<Drown_> wow... I didn't even know you could google based on timestamps
<slaker> hello.
<nomicon> hello
<slaker> do you have slack 10.2 ?
<nomicon> Yes
<slaker> good
<nomicon> Indeed.
<slaker> can you help me with small problem
<nomicon> perhaps.
<slaker> thanks. i`ve nvidia agp card
<nomicon> ok.
<slaker> but i got too large dialog boxes , is that from my card driver
<nomicon> Which card driver are you using?
<slaker> or from the kde config .. ?
<slaker> nvidia
<nomicon> Although, I dont use Slackware on my desktop, so I cant really help you with X related problems.
<slaker> oh its ok
<nomicon> What resolution are you running?
<slaker> 1024x7..
<nomicon> ok.
<nomicon> try ctrl+alt - and +
<nomicon> to change resulution and see if that helps.
<slaker> still no change . tried before
<slaker> you got slack with laptop ?
<nomicon> no, I only use Slackware on my servers. Sorry.
<slaker> yeah i`ve http ftp server running.
<slaker> perfect with slackware :)
<nomicon> =)
<rotten_> slaker: How did you configure X?
<slaker> with control panel
<rotten_> Some sort of KDE wizard thingie?
<slaker> you mean the X server ?
<rotten_> slaker: yes, the server.
<slaker> yeah. with xorg config file
<rotten_> But _how_? Did you manually edit it? Some tool?
<slaker> also with nvidia driver . still no change .
<slaker> yes. manually , still getting huge boxes you know.
<nomicon> Is it only the dialog boxes
<rotten_> Why manually? Have you tried the automagic way?
<nomicon> or is it the resolution that's screwed up?
<rotten_> What size is your monitor?
<slaker> 17 LC
<slaker> do you think thats from the monitor ..?
<rotten_> And you were running 1024x768. Which probably means that you need/want a higher resolution.
<rotten_> Have you tried the configuration utility built into X?
<slaker> yeah sure 1240x..
<slaker> yes. some time i cant see any thing black screen. i get it back from telnet.
<rotten_> 1240? you mean 1280x1024?
<slaker> and some times not really good resu
<slaker> yes
<slaker> i dont know where is the problem it come from . vga or monitor or driver
<slaker> whats your vga card ?
<rotten_> Some Intel piece of crap.
<gammy> rotten_: laptop?
<rotten_> gamkiller: Nope, not right now.
<slaker> yeah thats what linux support ,
<nomicon> rotten_: Do you see the nVidia splashscreen when you start X ?
<rotten_> Guys, I'm not the one with a problem. ;-)
<nomicon> sorry, slaker
<slaker> me lol
<nomicon> slaker: Do you see the nvidia splashscreen when you start X ?
<slaker> yes i got the white splashscreen
<nomicon> ok.
<slaker> with nvidia logo.
<nomicon> nod.
<slaker> if i want to try other vga card. ati is that good one ?
<slaker> or all the same ?
<nomicon> no, they're not the same =)
<nomicon> but changing gfx cards wont really help you with your problem tho =)
<slaker> good,
<slaker> yeah . i know
<slaker> slackware they didn`t release any version for long time.
<slaker> may be that from the xorg 6.8 !
<nomicon> nah.
<slaker> i tried old slackware with m700 compaq laptop , really good one.
<mogi> wtf?
<mogi> 1. run your monitor at the native resolution 2. configure your window manager
<mogi> the display card has nothing to do with the "size" of your dialog boxes
<slaker> ok
<slaker> should be some where in control panel with kde ?
<mogi> and for the record, there is nothing wrong with Intel video chipsets, other than gaming performance
<slaker> alright .
<slaker> thank you guys for this ;}
<slaker> see you later babye
<mogi> some people shouldn't be allowed to touch technology
<nomicon> heh.
<nomicon> bahh.. slow day..
<GEN-X> hello
<GEN-X> I am having problems setting up a mailserver on my slackware box
<GEN-X> I thought I had it working until i tried to use outlook to send and recieve and get a socket error
<GEN-X> i have googled the world over for a solution
<GEN-X> and no luck
<GEN-X> can someone help?
<mogi> a socket error?
<mogi> did outlook or your MTA give the error?
<mogi> what MTA are you using?
<GEN-X> outlook did
<mogi> it could also be your ISP blocking port 25
<GEN-X> k
<GEN-X> ok so how can i tell if my mail server is running properly?
<GEN-X> from the linux command line.
<jeenam> check to see if it is evening running or listening on an interface
<mogi> I don't think he has the brains to run a mail server
<jeenam> email ports are 25/110 i believe
<jeenam> netstat tuln | less
<mogi> 110 is pop3
<mogi> 25 is smtp
<jeenam> what's imap port?
<jeenam> 125?
