[Devil-Linux-discuss] DL 1.2.14 kernel paging request error

[Eddy & L. <e.m...@te...>]

Hello,

 

Until now I used FloppyFW as a firewall. 

Because Devil-Linux offers more services, I am trying to get DL 1.2.14
running, but without succes:

 

During boot-process I get following error:

"Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address C4000000"

 

The funny thing is, I tried on 2 different PC's:

-          Pentium 75 / 133 MHz with 64 Mb RAM

-          Celeron 400 MHz with 64 Mb RAM

Exactly the same message appears on both computers.!

 

I ran memtest86 on both computers => 0 errors

 

Could someone please help me out,

Many thanks,

 

Eddy Morlion

Got it up and running with the help of this video I found. This is one sweet
utility.

If anyone is interested here it is. (Thanks to the original

OK, that's what I was thinking of!

Since the tar file is upper case, my 'ls src/lp*' didn't show anything.  :-)

I don't have time to add CUPS to DL and still meet the deadline to get
this print server up and running.  Especially since I need to do some
things I've never done before, like joining Samba to an Active
Directory domain.

I'm going to get this print server running on a different distro now,
then add CUPS and port the server to DL later.  (i.e. don't expect to
see CUPS added to DL anytime soon)  :-)

For some reason I thought we already CUPS in DL, but I don't see any
print server software....

I'll try adding the krb5 directories to my $PATH and see if that works first.

But my project won't work with DL anyway since I need CUPS.  So it may
be awhile ...

[Devil-Linux-discuss] CUPS?

[Bruce S. <bw...@re...>]

I need to create a print server, and it looks like DL will not work
since it doesn't contain cups.

Would it be a lot of work to add cups?  (I'll do the work, provided

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Using Ntop on Devil-Linux

[scj6771 <sco...@ho...>]

Just got my DL firewall up and running (thanks to you all!) and to be honest
with you I am not sure what to do next (extreme DL newb here!), I wanted to
see it in action so to speak so I set the NTOP service to run at bootup but
not sure what to do after that? It seems to fail?

Again let me be clear, I am a Linux newbie so go easy on me. I just want to
see what is going on in real time.

On a side note, I am using PuTTY to gain access to this box. Thanks for all
your help.

Yes you're correct, back when we added it, the krb5 files caused some  
conflicts since they overwrote other binaries.
We could try your suggestion.

I've had problems on systems running off a CDR when the media gets a
film on it over time and the system cannot read the CD any longer.
See if there are any CD read errors in `dmesg' or from syslog.  (this
is why I always set the RUNFROMRAM option)

Or you could run the mkdir command with strace to see where it's
failing.  'strace mkdir /var/...'.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] kerberos

[Bruce S. <bw...@re...>]

I'm trying to join a DL 1.3 box to an AD domain for the first time and
my first impression was DL doesn't contain kerberos since none of the
commands are in the default $PATH.  Then I found that the binaries are
in /usr/bin/krb5/ and /usr/sbin/krb5/.

On Ubuntu and CentOS (and probably others), the kerberos binaries
reside in /usr/[s]bin/.  Why does DL have them in their own
directories?

Is it because a few kerberos'ied binaries conflict with their regular
counterparts (ftp, telnet, rcp, rlogin, rsh)?.  Should we move (or
link?) the rest of the krb5 binaries into the regular /usr/[s]bin/
PATH?

On a side note, I remember Heiko replying to people who ask about
telnetd in DL;  it's not included because it's not secure.  The
correct answer is the kerberos'ized telnetd is here:
/usr/sbin/krb5/telnetd, which does unencrypted plain text logins too
(just tested it).   ;-)

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Serial install of DL 1.3

[Jacob S. <dev...@js...>]

Hi,

 

I was going to try installing 1.3 but I ran into a little problem.

There is no etc-modd.tar.bz2 to add when building CF.

And therefore I can not set the security settings for Serial access.

 

In /etc/inittab

Enable 

S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 115200 ttyS0 vt102

 

 

In /etc/securetty

Add

ttyS0

ttyS1

 

I don't know if I can use an old etc, but I can probably create one by
booting on another computer.

 

Kind Regards

Jacob

>
> 1. That address is obviously the same as my router?

The router, being downstream of devil, should get its address via DHCP.
However, it might be expecting the net upstream of it to begin with 192.168.0

> 2. Do I need to turn off DHCP on the router?

I'm speculating, but I don't think that's the problem.

> 3. Why must I use a crossover cable from eth1 if I choose to go directly
> into my pc for testing purposes?

(At least one question that I am familiar with.)  Normal, 100 Mbps eth
uses 2 pairs of wires (only 4 of the 8 wires on the CAT 5 are used).
It was designed for one port to be on the upstream side & one on the
downstream side.
To connect 2 ports that were physically designed both as "downstream"
or both as upstream  ports (for instance, 2 ports on the backs of
computers), we
need a "crossover" cable, which simply has the 2 active wire pairs
crossed over. Some eth
receivers are electronically smart enough to figure out and compensate
for the presence or absence of a crossover cable, so a crossover
cable may not truly be required.
The gigabit eth spec requires symmetric negotiation (like the
"intelligence"), so crossover cables are not needed.


> 4. Does the crossover cable go from eth1 into the WAN port of the router?

Yes. From devil into the WAN port. Might possibly need a crossover cable here.


> I realize some of these questions may seem quite silly, but I am quite new
> to all of this. Thanks again.


I normally use a simple hub in place of a router. <<<<

I've daisy chained (simple home-use wireless-style) routers, but not often.

Can you connect a XP or Vista machine directly into devil?
Try it even if you don't have a crossover, it might work.
It might work on one machine & not on another.
One of my 2 laptops has a smart eth port.
You won't do physical damage by misusing a crossover, the connection
will merely not happen.
Do you have a crossover cable?
It is useful to have 1 around for sanity's sake.

Hang in there. One nice thing about devil is that once it is set up, it will
hopefully need nothing else.

Thanks for your response, I have set eth1 to the 192.168.1.1. I have a couple of questions.
 
1. That address is obviously the same as my router?
2. Do I need to turn off DHCP on the router?
3. Why must I use a crossover cable from eth1 if I choose to go directly into my pc for testing purposes?
4. Does the crossover cable go from eth1 into the WAN port of the router?
 
I realize some of these questions may seem quite silly, but I am quite new to all of this. Thanks again.

I'm a newbie, but I'll put in my 2 cents.

I needed to set the IP address from setup eth1 Configuration menut
to 192.168.1.1 (I believe the default is 192.168.1.255 or .254).
For me, XP seemed to need this value; I think linux is more robust.
The WRT54G may be sensitive.

Can you connect one of your Vista or XP machines directly
to the DL box?  It's prolly easier to troubleshoot with
Vista or XP, than thru a router.

Good luck.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Basic setup issues.

[scott j. <sco...@ho...>]

Trying to get Devil-Linux running as a firewall on my home network, I have the cards and modules configured however once I setup eth0 to my cable modem and eth1 (using crossover) to my WRT54G I loose all connection.
I am running Vista and XP on my network.
