From unixjavabob at yahoo.com Mon Feb 2 14:50:21 2004 From: unixjavabob at yahoo.com (Bob Read) Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2004 14:50:21 -0800 (PST) Subject: [buug] getting sendmail to log other SMTP header info Message-ID: <20040202225021.33120.qmail@web13805.mail.yahoo.com> Hey buug, First off, I installed FreeBSD 5.2 yesterday. I was playing my drumset and the install died during port installs...my monitor was across the room and I didn't read the message. Anyone know the command for re-installing all the ports (ie I want to insert the ports CD and then run a command from command-line to re-install the X-developer ports...without using the install util). I tried to install Debian, but the hardware support matrix did not include my intel gigE nics, so I gave up after a couple hours of that. Hard to find docs for the intel-gige nic module for Debian. Probably should have posted to buug...oh well. Which brings me to my real question: Sendmail logs (arbitrarily?) a specific list of name value pairs to syslogd, including Size=, From=, To=. How do I get other Header name=value pairs to show up in that log?

Since your machine is linux run the following: "netstat -nap" check for the daemon/port number. If you haven't set it up, kill it. what's the result of "ls -/" or "ps -/". if anything other than help pages, then you're likely have been trojaned. Check the file sizes for "ps, ls, tcpdump, netstat login sh/bash" with a good copy. you can do "lsof -p PID" get the PID from the netstat above for the processes you're concerned with, would tell more about your processes. The answer from lsof could be reused with rpm -qf /path/to/file to see if it's part of any rpm package or a rouge install, or remote shell toolkit, RST. Finally get the http://www.chkrootkit.org/ and install it, run and see the output.

Don't use someone else's nmap results, especially ones conducted over network links of unknown capabilities. More than likely, the above is merely showing you some router's filters, between you and the nmap host. Just use a second local machine to nmap the first one.

Or is specifying a particular ESSID enough? Ian, I had the same problem when moving into my new apt in san jose. My neighbor had an open wireless network with the default SSID and channel (6). I would have never even bothered getting DSL if his WAP wasn't so flakey.... heh. Anyway, i had to force my wap/card to run on channel 5 because the driver would immediately jump onto the first channel it found, regardless of what i hardcoded. -mike From tomduffy at dslextreme.com Fri Feb 6 10:17:32 2004 From: tomduffy at dslextreme.com (Tom Duffy) Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 10:17:32 -0800 Subject: [buug] wireless conflict In-Reply-To: <873c9ojdmp.fsf@buug.org> References: <873c9ojdmp.fsf@buug.org> Message-ID: <1076091452.1994.15.camel@biznatch.sfbay.sun.com> On Fri, 2004-02-06 at 09:56 -0800, Ian Zimmerman wrote: > So, what to do when our 802.11b network starts fighting with neighbors'? > Switch to a different channel? Or is specifying a particular ESSID enough? Move to a different channel. In fact, move to one that has no overlap with your neighbor. 1, 6, and 11 are the only ones that are mutually exclusive. If you are on the same channel with different ESSID's you are still competing for frequency time. -tduffy -- The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch someone else doing it wrong, without commenting. -- T.H.

It's mostly standard generic UNIX methodology, except: fuser's -n capability comes in quite handy, but seems relatively newer and may not be present on many (or most/all?) of the commercial UNIX flavors/versions. proc filesystem may not exist for some UNIX flavors/versions (or may lack information to hunt down the responsible binary), but is generally quite handy in LINUX (in some cases proc filesystem might not be mounted in LINUX, but typically it would be due to dependencies). netstat can be useful - particularly versions which have capabilities of identifying PID(s) and/or specific binaries associated with open ports. lsof can be very handy, but in many environments it may not be installed (whereas fuser and netstat would almost always be present). > From: Joseph Zitt > To: buug at weak.org > Message-Id: <1075974756.2224.33.camel at aleph.josephzitt.com> > Subject: [buug] xtreelic, maitrd, busboy, and garcon > Date: 05 Feb 2004 01:52:37 -0800 > http://crypto.yashy.com/nmap.php which apparently runs nmap againt the > machine that calls it, reported the following ports as open on my RedHat > 9 box: > 996/tcp filtered xtreelic > 997/tcp filtered maitrd > 998/tcp filtered busboy > 999/tcp filtered garcon > I'm puzzled by the latter four entries, since they're not anything I'm > familiar with.

You _might_ still be able to use the automated voice-response system mentioned in some articles, at 800-397-1887. Otherwise, go with the first number and expect to wait in a queue, take out a customer service ticket, etc. The magic phrases are "opt-out" and "Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI). You'll be wanting to opt out of granting SBC permission to give your CPNI to affiliated third parties. The law allows them to send you an obscure slip of paper informing you that you're giving them permission unless you write or call them to say no -- and, if you're an SBC/PacBell customer, odds are very long that you received such a slip in your bill long ago, and never noticed. Why? Because of what CPNI means, and what "affiliated" means. o Your CPNI includes your calling and billing records, among many other things, i.e., exactly whom you've called and when. o "Affiliated" means basically anything SBC wants it to. If a telemarketer pays SBC to buy customer records, that makes them affiliated. Surprised at how large a percentage of telemarketers seem to know when you're home? Wonder no longer.

Well, I assume you know how to use google... but did you find this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/41/2004/01/4/129745 So I would try the hostap driver.
