[Trinux-talk] Mutilated Bash?

[Aaron L. <le...@th...>]

Is the bash running on trinux slightly mutilated?

I tried putting the following script into my debian box and the trinux
system. It works on debian but not on trinux. Does anyone know why?

---------------
#!/usr/bin/bash
find1="-iname"
find2="*.doc"

find $find1 $find2
---------------

Thanks,

Because of the way the shells are spawned by busybox, .profile .bashrc
(setting environment variables within the linuxrc).  However if you ssh
into the Trinux box, that should work. This was something I messed around
with for a while but could never fix it with out breaking things worse, so
if somebody could find a workaround that would be great.

[Trinux-talk] Need libmysqlclient help

[<FLO...@LH...>]

Hi,

I have a rather frustrating problem. I build a snort configuration to act as
a snort IDS Sensor which logs its alerts to a central mysql server. Well, it
should log. The problem now is, that there seems to be a compatibiliy
difference in the used libmysqlclient (from the trinux libmysql.tgz package)
and my mysql server. Snort dies with the message:
snort: error in loading shared libraries: snort: undefined symbol:
mysql_errno

The problem now is, that I can't just take a current libmysqlclient.so as it
is comiled against glibc 2.2 but trinux runs with 2.1.
My guess now is, if I had a current libmysqlclient.so compiled against glibc
2.1 then it should work.
But I do not have a system still running with glibc 2.1

Now, unless the problem lies elsewhere and somebody can tell me how to fix
it, is somebody out there who can build me a current libmysqlclient.so with
glibc2.1?

Hopefull regards

Florian

[Trinux-talk] Cron daemon problem

[shivananda .s.n. <nay...@ya...>]

Dear all,

           I want to install the cron daemon for scheduling LABREA logs into the mysql database.I have System.tgz & crond.tgz files with me . If I add those packages to trinux & if I start cron by following command:

>  /etc/init.d/cron start

the log in cd  /var/log says -- 

...STARTUP(fork Ok)

....STATFAILED(/etc/cron.d)

what is the package to add for scheduling cron jobs for labrea logs.

How to scedule it & how to start the cron on rinux for labrea...

HELP ME PLEASE...!!

[Trinux-talk] Initialization script questions

[Aaron L. <le...@th...>]

Hmm... I tried to alias some commands in last but that did not work.

According to the readme in the directory, it says that it executes last
before it starts up the shell.

Is it possible to set up a prompt and alias some commands for bash
automatically?

Or am I stuck?

Thanks,

The profile .bashrc stuff is "weird" due to some busybox issues. The
easiest way to do what you want to do is modify the scripts in
/etc/tux/init/ (which are on /tux/init/ on the boot floppy) which allow
custom commands to be executed at various stages of the linuxrc.

/tux/init/last will get executed at the end and should work

Re: [Trinux-talk] Newbie Question: Hard Drive Woes

[Aaron L. <le...@th...>]

Yeah thanks a lot!

I figured that out Saturday when I looked at the config file for the
stable kernel for the net version of Trinux.

So I compiled the 2.4.14 kernel to my heart's content and found that it
works perfectly.

Trinux is awesome.

I had a question about how to do something though. I haven't poked around
enough to figure out how to do this so I figured I would ask you guys.

I want to be able to run a bunch of scripts after login and I was
wondering how I would be able to do that. Is there a login script that I
can modify to get it to work?

I also noticed that the /etc/profile script was meant for ash and not
bash.  If I modify the /etc/profile and use savecfg will that save the
settings for me?

Re: [Trinux-talk] Newbie Question: Hard Drive Woes

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

You will need IDE kernel module support.

# getpkg 2.4.5/ide.tgz
# getpkg 2.4.5/fsmods.tgz

After installing the package you should see your hard drives show up if
you do a:

# dmesg

cd /lib/modules for the filesystems you need.

Re: [Trinux-talk] trinux newbie

[<HHu...@t-...>]

Hallo, Matthew,

Du meintest am 20.02.02 zum Thema Re: [Trinux-talk] trinux newbie:


> 6) Test it to make surt it boots:
> c:> loadlin initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 bzimage

  loadlin bzimage initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0

Doesn't work - sorry.
I've tried "initrd.gz" from a working floppy and the 4 MB packet from  
your website, I've tried some "bzimage"-versions from Kernel 2.4.17  
(bare, ide, net, pcmcia).

"loadlin" works with other distributions.

Error message (in all cases)
VFS: Cannot open root device "ram0" or 1:00
Please append a correct "root" boot option


If I delete the "root=/dev/ram0" entry (it's a but silly) the system  
tells
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 3:01

(it searches for partition 1 on IDE)
How must I tell trinux to use the ram disk?

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut

RE: [Trinux-talk] Newbie Question: Hard Drive Woes

[Richard T. <ri...@th...>]

My two cents...

First, does the mount point /mnt exist?

I think Trinux creates mount points for
found partitions, but it names them
/hda1, etc...

Next, check 'dmesg | less' and see what
partitions are available.

Richard

First, I must say that I am very

I have been looking everywhere for a

Here is what I am trying right now:

1. Boot using Trinux (network distro)
2. After successfully leasing an IP from

3. I try "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt" -->

I have tried this on two computers where
/dev/hda1 should be NTFS or

Re: [Trinux-talk] trinux newbie

[<gu...@ke...>]

Hi,

I=B4ve found the "problem". I=B4ve just taked out the "^" of the FDEV var=
 before
the "[sh]d[a-f][1-9]"  expression and made the initrd.gz again !!! It wor=
ked
out !
I can=B4t say that this is a bug.... but didn=B4t work for me. :)

> FDEV=3D`dmesg | grep -v LDM | grep "[sh]d[a-f][1-9]" | cut -d':' -f2 | =
sort
| uniq`  # FIXED # changed by aguiarg

Now I have another problem... I=B4m trying to load my modules at
c:\trinux\bootpkg\*.tgz but they dont get loaded. I still working on it b=
ut
I think it=B4s strange. Is there any special configuration ? I=B4ve just =
mounted
my floppy and copyed tux dir to c:\trinux; (I=B4ve tryed to change atound=
 but
didn=B4t made any good)
My network doesn=B4t start even configuring dhcp (config/eth0 -> dhcp) an=
d
loading the dhcpcd.tgz with pkgadd.

Can anyone give me a help ?

Thank=B4s again,
Gus

Re: [Trinux-talk] trinux newbie

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Are you sure your IDE device got detected/that you were using an IDE
kernel? A

dmesg | grep hd

should reveal your devices

Is your DOS device the first one?

Re: [Trinux-talk] trinux newbie

[<gu...@ke...>]

Thanks for the tip ! It did work..... now I can boot from my IDE disk ! B=
ut
I=B4m having problems to load my modules.
I discovered that the vars CDEV and FDEV are getting no value.... so when=
 my
box boots, it doesn=B4t recognize that it is
booting from a loadlin.exe.

Looking at the linuxrc boot script I=B4ve found where it set this vars:
--
CDEV=3D`dmesg | grep D-ROM | grep hd | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq`  # CD-R=
OM
devices
FDEV=3D`dmesg | grep -v LDM | grep "^ [sh]d[a-f][1-9]" | cut -d':' -f2 | =
sort
| uniq`  # FIXED

echo "FDEV: $FDEV"
echo "CDEV: $CDEV"
--
At the boot I see FDEV: and CDEV: empty.
"BOOT=3D" is empty to.

Can anyone help me ? Any experience like this before ?

I=B4m using a AMD Duron with freedos, kernel 2.4.17 and trinux-ide.


Thank=B4s in advance,
Gus

Re: [Trinux-talk] trinux newbie

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Yes, you can boot from a flash IDE or normal IDE drive. Here is a rough
guide:

1) Create a small DOS/FAT partition (10-25mb). This will need to be *DOS*
not NT, so you will need to dig up a Win9x or DoS boot floppy and format
/s it. If you want to stay Open Source FreeDoS (http://www.freedos.org)
will work fine.

2) Somehow copy loadlin.exe to that partition in C:\

3) Create a trinux directory on c:\

4) Download the latest initrd.gz from
http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/initd/ and place it c:\

5) Download an ide kernel from http://trinux.sf.net/kernel/x.x.x/ide/ (I
think 2.4.5 should work) to c:\bzimage

6) Test it to make surt it boots: c:> loadlin initrd=3Dinitrd.gz
root=3D/dev/ram0 bzimage (the kernel name might come before the boot
arguments, can't remember off the top of my head. Whatever command you get
working can be added to your autoxec.bat to get everything going

7) Within c:\trinux create the following directories:

tux - contains the normal directory structure found on trinux floppies

bootpkg - will contain any packages you want loaded early on if you want
to do network booting you will need: dnslibs.tgz dhcpcd.tgz system.tgz.

kpkg - kernel packages you want loaded

pkg - you can also put packages here


NOTE: network configuration changes slightly from the last floppy release.

If you want to do DHCP (easiest) tux\config\eth0 (or eth1) should contain
dhcp. You can also put the IP and netmask in there separated by a space
(192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0) and then add \tux\config\gateway,dns with
your default route and DNS server

Post to the list if you have any problems.

Hello All,

I=B4ve just found trinux and looking around (docs, faq and lists) I didn=B4=
t
find a *exact* answer for my question... so there it goes:
- Can I install trinux to boot from a IDE disk and not necessarily from a
floppy disk (perhaps a flash-ide) ?
I=B4ve found documantation enough to install it in a floppy disk but I
couldn=B4t found any where explaning how to install only in IDE drivers.
If someone could send me a url, doc, pice of txt, anything.... I=B4ll be
thankful.

Thank=B4s in advance,

to create a bootable cd-rom you just use your computers cd burning software 
to burn the *.iso image to cd... then reboot and go into BIOS
setup and select cdrom booting... if you do not have this option inside your 
BIOS then you are out of luck for EL TORITO(bootable cd-rom)

RE: [Trinux-talk] New to Trinux

New to TrinuxLois,

The answer is yes. I use it for initial investigations to view hard drive
contents without the risk of modifying any of the data. You can also save
files for investigation offline without the user knowing that the computer
has been accessed. However, you better know something about *nix commands. I
also use it for imaging disks for forensic analysis.

  I am new to Trinux and trying to learn if it can be used as I understood
the case when I went looking for it.  What I hope to do is add it to my
toolkit for network security incident response.  Can I use the floppies to
boot a box that has been compromised and poke around on its hard drive to
see the system logs and such using the clean tools off the Trinux floppies?

  I would appreciate any assistance that can be shared on this.  Thanks in
advance!

[Trinux-talk] TRINUX Bootable CDROM Question.

[Sal M. <smo...@ho...>]

Hi,

TRINUX is a great idea and I intend on using it at work.  I have read
the FAQ, most of the email archives and the pages, but I have run into a

problem.

I have been successful in creating a bootable floppy (ide) and getting
it to boot.
However, I am having some difficulty in creating a bootable cdrom disk.
I have the adaptec cdrom burner and all that.  Any pointers would be
helpful.  Thanks.

Re: [Trinux-talk] Harddrive Format

[<tb...@ti...>]

The filesystem types available for the -t parameter to the mount command 
are:

 adfs,  affs,  autofs,  coda,
              coherent,  devpts, efs, ext, ext2, hfs, hpfs, iso9660, 
minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, ntfs, proc, qnx4,
              romfs, smbfs, sysv, udf, ufs, umsdos, vfat, xenix, xiafs

I think for a FAT32 Win98 OS, you should use the vfat param or msdos 
param.  You might try them both.

Try mounting the old source partition with:

mount -t vfat /dev/hdd1 /mnt

If that fails, try msdos or umsdos for type.

You can also find out the partition type of the /dev/hdd1 partition with 
fdisk .. 

fdisk /dev/hdd

enter m<rtn> for help/menu and p<rtn> to view the current table.  The 
partition type will be listed for hdd1.  Make sure your destination 
partition is set to the same type.

Once you can mount (and umount) the old source partition successfully, 
then create the new partition with the type you got from fdisk.  then:

dd if=/dev/hdd1 of=/dev/hdb1

You shouldn't need an intermediary file, and you shouldn't need the "bs" 
parameter.

You should be able to mount the second partition then.

Important note...  hdb1 must be as large or larger than hdd1 in total 
size, not just disk used by the data.
