[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] Portable OpenSSH 3.4p1 released (Stable branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you of release '3.4p1' of 'Portable OpenSSH'
through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found
at http://freshmeat.net/projects/openssh/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This version fixes a major security vulnerability which exists in
versions 2.9.9 to 3.3. Systems running with "UsePrivilegeSeparation
yes" or "ChallengeResponseAuthentication no" are not affected.The 3.4
release contains many fixes that were made during a week-long audit
started when the recent security issue came to light. Some of those
fixes are likely to be important security fixes. Therefore, upgrading
to 3.4 is recommended. 

Project description:
This is a Unix/Linux port of OpenBSD's excellent  OpenSSH. OpenSSH is
a full implementation of the  SSH1 protocol and a 99% implementation
of the  SSH 2 protocol, including sftp client and server  support.

[Devil-linux-develop] User Buildable DL/eLSD -- Two Linux build kits (one CD)

[John v. V. <joh...@ya...>]

### This an automated CD build ###


From Bernards System:
http://www.bablokb.de/bblcd/

 BBLCD will allow you to take a Linux partition and put it onto a CDROM. When
you boot any PC with the CDROM, you will be in the same environment as the
original Linux partition but it will not use the hard disk.

There are some restrictions:

    * The PC needs RAM to copy the /var and /home directories into ramdisk..
    * If your kernel is optimized for a specific hardware, it will not
      neccessarely run on another PC.
    * The same is true for mouse and X11 configuration.
    * Files not in /var and /home will not be modifiable once on the CDROM.
    * You need another Linux partition to copy the one you want to the CDROM.


### This is a build that compiles as it is installed ###

From:
http://www.lrs-linux.org/
What Is LRs Linux?

LRs-Linux is based upon LFS. In contrast to LFS however you do not need another
Linux system to compile since LRs Linux compiles directly from the CD.
What's more the installation process is mostly automated.

LRs Linux isn't your usual Linux distribution: Most distributions are using
some kind of packaging system, with their binaries compiled for a wide range of
processor types.

LRs Linux DOESN'T!

LRs Linux compiles directly from CD, the operating system installed this way
matches your automatically detected hardware architecture perfectly. This
means: More performance.

There is a cd build kit:

BBLCD is the acronym for Bernhard's Bootable Linux CD. 
http://www.bablokb.de/bblcd/
##
I looked at it briefly, you give it a linux (presumabely DL) and it gives you a

It includes an ASCII "Tux the Penguin" changes colors as you go along.

Hey,

currently you have to reverse engineer DL.
You have to modify the contents of the InitRD, the file
/etc/initrd/linuxrc is not used, but it's the same file we use in the
InitRD.
You have to move the loading of the etc.tar.bz2 after the mounting of
the CD.
But keep in mind, that this will only work with IDE CD drives.

where normal users are not permitted to log in. The mailbox database
is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus
IMAP system. All user access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or
KPOP protocols. The private mailbox database design gives the server
large advantages in efficiency, scalability, and administratability.
Multiple concurrent read/write connections to the same mailbox are
permitted. The server supports access control lists on mailboxes and
storage quotas on mailbox hierarchies, multiple SASL mechanisms, and
the Sieve mail filtering language.

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] Linux 2.4.19-rc1 released (2.4 branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you of release '2.4.19-rc1' of 'Linux' through
freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can be found at
http://freshmeat.net/projects/linux/

The changes in this release are as follows:


Project description:
Linux is a clone of the Unix kernel, written from scratch by Linus
Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across
the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification
compliance. It has all the features you would expect in a modern
fully-fledged Unix kernel, including true multitasking, virtual
memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write
executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking. 

If you would like to cancel subscription to releases of this project,
login to freshmeat.net and choose 'home' from the personal menubar at the
top of the page. You'll be presented with a list of projects you're
subscribed to in the right column, which you may cancel by highlighting

What kind of errors?

You can easily define what you want to compile with the command "make

Isn't that what we do right now?
Make just calls the shell scripts from the "build/scripts" directory.

I don't know kshell.

[Devil-linux-develop] Build Problems

[John v. V. <joh...@ya...>]

Hi, I spent all of yesterday and today trying to do the build.  

I am not sure where to begin, but the most troubling is the diskspace problem.

I created 1.5 gigs of space and the make iso still complained that there is no
disk space.  I did a df and there were 500 MB available and the end of the
build.

The build claimed to be successful even though there were multiple errors along
the way.

Doing each build is too time consuming  because there are so many packages,
most of which I dont need.

My honest opinion is that we should begin at the beginning and step through the
whole process to make sure all the documentation is clear and that the scripts
truly exit on failure.

I believe that "make" is only useful in the compliling process.  Shell is far
easier to use and much better understood by the majority of admins and very
easy to manipulate.  Sections of shell code can be recycled into other
applications.
Kshell provides for menues, etc, and is publically available.

Any ideas ??

John
