Re: [tbox-l] [Virus] Potentially unwanted message body detected, entire messag e has been moved to quarantine folder~

[Bob C. <bc...@ya...>]

Jean Louis,

Probably a false positive. Some virus scanners are so paranoid
they identify attachments with particular names as "viruses".

Of course, if you read your email on AIX or Linux, you have
nothing to worry about.  If you use Windows, how do you sleep
at night anyway?

[tbox-l] Some 64-bit Toolbox libraries

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

A small number of library packages in the AIX Toolbox have now been enabled
with 64-bit versions.  This will be of interest only to developers who wish to
build their own code in 64-bit mode and link to some of the libraries that
are available in the Toolbox.  If you don't use the Toolbox packages to do
your own development builds, or if you do development with the default 32-bit
libraries only, then this news is not of interest to you.  All packages in
general will continue to be built in 32-bit mode.
The 64-bit enablement includes libraries only, not commands.

Packages that are included in the 64-bit enablement (so far) are:
	expat
	freetype
	freetype2
	gd
	gettext
	libjpeg
	libpng
	libxml2
	libxslt
	openssl
	zlib
More are expected to be enabled gradually over time.

For 64-bit shared objects inside shared libraries, the 64-bit version
has been included in the same library with the 32-bit version, so you need
only be in the correct compilation/link mode to get the desired version.
For example, /opt/freeware/lib/libz.a (from the "zlib" package) now has
a 32-bit shared object member named libz.so.1, and a 64-bit shared object
member with the same name.  The one that will be used will depend only on the
object mode you are linking with.
In addition, a new directory /opt/freeware/64/lib is created which includes
all 64-bit-enabled libraries (as symlinks to their true location in
/opt/freeware/lib).  When 64-bit versions of ".so" shared objects are created,
they will be found in /opt/freeware/64/lib so that they do not conflict with
the 32-bit versions in /opt/freeware/lib.
This means that you can force yourself to find the 64-bit objects by using
"-L/opt/freeware/64/lib" in your link command.


These are not new versions of the packages -- The existing versions have
been rebuilt to accomodate the 64-bit library members.  Downloading these
updated images is only of interest if you want to use the new 64-bit libraries.
The FTP download locations are all listed below, with the exception of OpenSSL.
(For OpenSSL you must go to the separate cryptographic-content Toolbox site.)
Also listed are the corresponding "devel" packages for these libraries:

Longer descriptions follow.  At the end of this note is a list of the
downloadable image locations.  The AIX Toolbox web table will soon be updated
to point to these new images, but to get them now you can use anonymous ftp
or a utility like wget or curl to get them directly from the FTP site.
The standard disclaimers still apply as always:  All Toolbox packages are
as-is, unsupported, and unwarranted.  Refer to the AIX Toolbox website for
the official Toolbox legal disclaimers.

----------------------------------------------------
Descriptions of updated packages:
----------------------------------------------------
autoconf:
GNU's Autoconf is a tool for configuring source code and Makefiles.
Using Autoconf, programmers can create portable and configurable
packages, since the person building the package is allowed to
specify various configuration options.

You should install Autoconf if you are developing software and you'd
like to use it to create shell scripts which will configure your
source code packages. If you are installing Autoconf, you will also
need to install the GNU m4 package.

Note that the Autoconf package is not required for the end user who
may be configuring software with an Autoconf-generated script;
Autoconf is only required for the generation of the scripts, not
their use.

-----
automake:
Automake is an experimental Makefile generator. Automake was inspired
by the 4.4BSD make and include files, but aims to be portable and to
conform to the GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.

You should install Automake if you are developing software and would
like to use its capabilities of automatically generating GNU
standard Makefiles. if you install Automake, you will also need to
install GNU's Autoconf package.

-----
bash:
The GNU Bourne Again shell (Bash) is a shell or command language
interpreter that is compatible with the Bourne shell (sh). Bash
incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and the C shell
(csh). Most sh scripts can be run by bash without modification. This
package contains bash version 2.05b, which improves POSIX
compliance over previous versions.

-----
bash-doc:
The bash-doc package contains documentation for the GNU Bourne
Again (bash) shell.

-----
bison:
Bison is a general purpose parser generator which converts a grammar
description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse
that grammar.  Bison can be used to develop a wide range of language
parsers, from ones used in simple desk calculators to complex programming
languages.  Bison is upwardly compatible with Yacc, so any correctly
written Yacc grammar should work with Bison without any changes.  If
you know Yacc, you shouldn't have any trouble using Bison.  (You do need
to be very proficient in C programming to be able to use Bison).  Bison
is only needed on systems that are used for development.

If your system will be used for C development, you should install Bison
since it is used to build many C programs.

-----
cpio:
GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive.  Archives
are files which contain a collection of other files plus information
about them, such as their file name, owner, timestamps, and access
permissions.  The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic
tape, or a pipe.  GNU cpio supports the following archive formats:  binary,
old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar and POSIX.1
tar.  By default, cpio creates binary format archives, so that they are
compatible with older cpio programs.  When it is extracting files from
archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading
and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.

Install cpio if you need a program to manage file archives.

-----
gawk:
The gawk package contains the GNU version of awk, a text processing
utility.  Awk interprets a special-purpose programming language to do
quick and easy text pattern matching and reformatting jobs.

Install the gawk package if you need a text processing utility. Gawk is
considered to be a standard tool for processing text.

-----
libtool:
The libtool package contains the GNU libtool, a set of shell scripts
which automatically configure UNIX and UNIX-like architectures to
generically build shared libraries.  Libtool provides a consistent,
portable interface which simplifies the process of using shared
libraries.

If you are developing programs which will use shared libraries, you
should install libtool.

-----
make:
A GNU tool for controlling the generation of executables and other
non-source files of a program from the program's source files.  Make
allows users to build and install packages without any significant
knowledge about the details of the build process.  The details about
how the program should be built are provided for make in the program's
makefile.

The GNU make tool should be installed on your system because it is
commonly used to simplify the process of installing programs.

-----
MySQL:
MySQL is a true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL (Structured Query
Language) database server. MySQL is a client/server implementation
that consists of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client
programs/libraries.

The main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness and ease of use.  MySQL
was originally developed because we needed a SQL server that could
handle very big databases with magnitude higher speed than what any
database vendor could offer to us. And since we did not need all the
features that made their server slow we made our own. We have now been
using MySQL since 1996 in a environment with more than 40 databases,
10,000 tables, of which more than 500 have more than 7 million
rows. This is about 200G of data.

The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been
used in a highly demanding production environment for many
years. While MySQL is still in development, it already offers a rich
and highly useful function set.

See the documentation for more information

-----
MySQL-client:
This package contains the standard MySQL clients.

For a description of MySQL see the base MySQL RPM or http://www.mysql.com

-----
MySQL-devel:
This package contains the development header files and libraries
necessary to develop MySQL client applications.

For a description of MySQL see the base MySQL RPM or http://www.mysql.com

-----
proftpd:
ProFTPD is an enhanced FTP server with a focus toward simplicity, security,
and ease of configuration.  It features a very Apache-like configuration
syntax, and a highly customizable server infrastructure, including support for
multiple 'virtual' FTP servers, anonymous FTP, and permission-based directory
visibility.

-----
readline:
The readline library reads a line from the terminal and returns it,
allowing the user to edit the line with standard Emacs editing keys.
The readline library allows programmers to provide an easy to use and
more intuitive interface for users.

If you want to develop programs that will use the readline library,
you'll also need to install the readline-devel package.

-----
readline-devel:
The readline library will read a line from the terminal and return it.
Use of the readline library allows programmers to provide an easy
to use and more intuitive interface for users.

If you want to develop programs which will use the readline library,
you'll need to have the readline-devel package installed.  You'll also
need to have the readline package installed.

-----
sed:
The sed (Stream EDitor) editor is a stream or batch (non-interactive)
editor.  Sed takes text as input, performs an operation or set of
operations on the text and outputs the modified text.  The operations
that sed performs (substitutions, deletions, insertions, etc.) can be
specified in a script file or from the command line.

-----
sudo:
Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain
users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands
as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a
per-command basis.  It is not a replacement for the shell.  Features
include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a
per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear
audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo
command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers)
on many different machines.

-----
texinfo:
Texinfo is a documentation system that can produce both online
information and printed output from a single source file.  The GNU
Project uses the Texinfo file format for most of its documentation.

Install texinfo if you want a documentation system for producing both
online and print documentation from the same source file and/or if you
are going to write documentation for the GNU Project.

-----
wget:
GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use either the HTTP or
FTP protocols.  Wget features include the ability to work in the
background while you're logged out, recursive retrieval of
directories, file name wildcard matching, remote file timestamp
storage and comparison, use of Rest with FTP servers and Range with
HTTP servers to retrieve files over slow or unstable connections,
support for Proxy servers, and configurability.

Install wget if you need to retrieve large numbers of files with HTTP or
FTP, or if you need a utility for mirroring web sites or FTP directories.

-----
which:
The which command shows the full pathname of a specified program, if
the specified program is in your PATH.

[tbox-l] coreutils in AIX Toolbox

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

There is a new -- and yet not new -- package in the Toolbox.
"coreutils" is a basic GNU package which combines 3 previously separate
packages into one.  When you install coreutils, it will replace your
existing installations of fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils.  The commands
from these packages are included together in the new package.
For more information, see the GNU coreutils page:
	http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils

From an RPM packaging perspective, it still "provides" fileutils, sh-utils,
Status: O

and textutils, so if you have a package which claims a depencency on
one of these, that dependency will still be met.

To get the Toolbox coreutils image, download this file:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/coreutils/coreutils-5.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

Re: [tbox-l] Is AIX 5.2 vulnerable for the Rsync-bug?

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

AIX is not vulernable to this bug; it can only be exploited in conjunction with
a vulnerability in the Linux brk() prior to 2.4.23.
This was reviewed earlier with someone from the AIX security team.
If you use rsync on Linux, however, you'll want to make the appropriate
updates.

Distributing an updated version of rsync for AIX from the Toolbox site is
likely months away (as usual; this can vary quite a bit depending on the
reviews and schedules of our open source lawyers).
Meanwhile, I'll request a short-term review/approval to distribute
a rebuild of our existing 2.5.4 level with the specific isolated patch
backported alone with no other changes -- while it would not make a difference
from a security perspective, it might just provide more confidence in using a
pre-2.5.7 version until we are clear to distribute the current version.  Such
an isolated fix is often the sort of thing that can be approved more quickly
for distribution.

You might meanwhile also consider the other usual alternatives, such as
building a newer version locally or using the already-built UCLA 4.6.0 rsync
image from aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu.  (4.6.0 is the very latest rsync version.)

BUT: I really don't mean to be sending mixed signals here -- you really can
keep using the current Toolbox rsync.

[tbox-l] Is AIX 5.2 vulnerable for the Rsync-bug?

[<j.l...@be...>]

Rsync-question

I am using rsync on an AIX 5L 5.2 ML1 server. The server is connected to
the internet. The rsync-version is 2.5.4-1 (provided as rpm-file by IBM on
their website).This is the most recent version provided by IBM.
On http://rsync.samba.org the samba-developers wrote about a bug in rsync
prior to 2.5.7. This bug causes a heap overflow vulnerabilty in combination
with the Linux kernel prior to 2.4.23.
I would like to know:
- when does IBM provide a new rsync-rpm based on rsync >= 2.5.7?
- is AIX 5.2 ML1 also vulnerable?
Can anyone answer these questions?

thanks in advance,

We actually rebuild our own RPMs for this functionality.  For more information on this look at Darren Tucker's page http://www.zipworld.com.au/~dtucker/openssh/

Re: [tbox-l] core GNU development tools update [was: ethereal]

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

I hope so.  They have gcc 3.3.2 under review.
gcc is one of the biggest source packages in the Toolbox, though; I'm
expecting we'll see many of the others first (GNU make, libtool, sh-utils,
etc).

Cool. Does that mean that we will be seeing gcc 3.x soon ?

Re: [tbox-l] ethereal

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

At some point, yes, but there are other packages waiting for review/clearence
before we get to that.  In particular, the nearest goal is most of the core GNU
utilities packages and development tools, which I hope to be able to provide
relatively soon.

Re: [tbox-l] vsftpd and AIX 4.3

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

Other ftp server & client utilities build pretty easily on AIX, so I'd
guess vsftpd ought to as well (though have not tried it myself; maybe
someone else out there on the list has).

It's the first I've heard it requested for the Toolbox, so I've now made
a record of the request.  I think there's not a very good probability of
including it, however:  In addition to the default AIX ftp, the Toolbox already
has both wu-ftpd and proftpd as alternatives -- plus the AIX Download
Pack provides OpenSSH for AIX, which includes "sftp-server" and sftp as
yet another alternative.  That option may be the closest to matching what
you want from vsftpd.

[tbox-l] vsftpd and AIX 4.3

[Paul Genest<pg...@ca...>]

vsftpd is a replacement for ftpd on Linux that is well known since it is
included in RedHat distributions and even recommended by IBM in a document
entitled "Securing Linux Servers for Service Providers".

However, it is not available in the Toolbox.

Is it a simple question of selection or is there a known issue that
prevents it from being acceptable for AIX.

If someone has been using it, I would like to know if there have been any
problems with it. Also, if there is a binary available, I would very much
like to get a location I can get it from.

Thanks,

You'll need both gtk+-1.2.10 and glib-1.2.10:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/glib/glib-1.2.10-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gtkplus/gtkplus-1.2.10-4.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

(Or if you are still back on 4.3.3, replace the second image above with):

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gtkplus/gtkplus-1.2.10-3.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

Re: [tbox-l] Available releases for PHP and MySQL

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

There is a good chance of getting MySQL v3 bumped from 3.23.55 to 3.23.58
relatively soon, but an update to v4 is probably quite some time off.
Still, you may instead prefer going to the MySQL group directly and getting
their free download of MySQL for AIX.  If you visit www.mysql.com, you
will find an AIX image of 4.0.17 available:
  http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html

In fact you might favor their images in any case, since it comes directly
from the MySQL site, built by people with specific expertise in that product.
That is where the source code comes from as well (the same source used
for our own images).

PHP is another story; legal issues have prevented us from distributing
any more builds of that package.
For php, if you cannot use the old 4.0.6 version, you might try out the 4.3.3
build from UCLA:  http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/php.html
(www.bullfreeware.com distributes many opensource packages for AIX as well,
but it appears that their latest php is also 4.0.6 like ours).

Other options would be compiling the code in-house after downloading from
php.net, or using the services of a 3rd party who will build images for
you -- for example, something like www.thewrittenword.com.

[tbox-l] Gnome 2.4 for AIX V5

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

Gnome 2.4 images are now available in the AIX Toolbox, for AIX 5.1 and greater.

Below is a list of the images that are new.  They are accessible now.

I recommend downloading the "ezinstall bundle" scripts to download all the
necessary package groups.  The scripts require that you have the "wget" rpm
package installed.  For more about the bundles, please see the Toolbox README.
The download scripts are located in this directory:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc

Please note:
GNOME is comprised of dozens of packages, and there are numerous
dependencies among the various packages.  Because of this, it is best
to download all of the packages and install them all together.  Although
there are some that will install individually, in most cases you will get
dependency error messages if you try to install them one at a time.  This is
especially true if you are updating from an older GNOME.

There are also updated "development" packages that come with many of
these packages... such packages have a "-devel" suffix in the name.
You DO NOT need them to run Gnome; in fact, it will be easier to update
if you do not use them.  You only need them if you are doing your own
Gnome development and need the header files.
So, if you have installed older versions of the "devel" packages, you will
need to download and install these at the same time also, because the
devel packages must match the version number of its respective parent package.
Better yet, if you are not using them, just deinstall them.  You can always
install the newer ones later if needed.

Following is a list of the new packages found in each of the bundles.
(The more tentative "alpha-quality" gnome-speech and gnopernicus packages have
also been updated, but are not included with the bundles; they have other
requirements.  See the "known problems" section in the Toolbox README).

#
# prerequisite packages... update these if you are not on these versions.
# These are extracted from the "desktopbase" bundle.  (There are other
# packages prereq's in the bundle beyond these, but these are the only
# ones that have changed recently).
# Use the "getdesktop.base.sh" script to download these.

[tbox-l] Running CATIA V4 under KDE or GNOME desktop on AIX 5.1

[Yuriy D. <yd...@vi...>]

Hello,
I have a problem running CATIA V4 either under KDE
or GNOME desktop environment. In 24 bpp (bits-per-pixel)
mode of X server I could not see anything in CATIA V4
drawing area (other parts of CATIA V4 Motif user interface
like pulldown menus and function palette work fine) - it is
completely black. If I run X server in 8 bpp mode, all colors
in CATIA V4 are completely off: e.g. instead of black background
in drawing area I see yellow etc. Note that I do not have any
problems with CATIA V4 colors under CDE desktop environment
(both in 8 bpp and 24 bpp modes). Could somebody provide
any insights why CATIA V4 has no problems under CDE and could
not display correct colors under KDE/GNOME? I would appreciate
any insights on this problem. 

Some relevant info about my system (as provided by /usr/sbin/prtconf)

System Model: IBM,9114-275
Processor Type: PowerPC_POWER4
CPU Type: 64 bit
Kernel Type: 32 bit
Graphics Adapter: GXT 4500P

AIX level 5100-05 (as given by oslevel -r): AIX 5.1 at maintenance level 5
bos.mp is at level 5.1.0.57

KDE version 3.0
GNOME version 2.2.1

Re: [tbox-l] HTMLDOC

This is somehow a duplicate posting that appeared 8 days ago.

If you download the g++ package (in fact, all of the "app-dev" packages
from the Toolbox site), and download htmldoc-1.8.23-source.tar.bz2
from the website referenced below, it should build fine.
After extracting the files and entering the htmldoc-1.8.23 directory,
I ran the command "./configure" and "make" and each finished within
a few minutes without errors.

To make sure the GNU make is used, set your PATH=/usr/linux/bin:$PATH
before building.

http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/software.php. I've tryed to compile this on my
AIX 5.2 system, but there is a problem finding g++. I hope you have more
chances.

HTMLDOC is a program to generate PS oder PDF documents from HTML- or
text-files. It's very useful and easy to use.

Thanks
Stephan

Re: [tbox-l] AIX toolbox install

My guess is that you are probably not on at least AIX 4.3.3 or higher.
Make sure the "oslevel" command shows 4.3.3.0 or greater.
You can also check individual filesets.... e.g.  "lslpp -l bos.rte"
or "lslpp -l bos.rte.libc" should say at least 4.3.3.0.

Follow the instructions in:
