[Trinux-talk] New to Trinux

[Yahoo.com <pro...@ya...>]

First off, id like to say im new to the linux community & Trinux. My =
problem is this:                                                         =

   How do i compile Trinux 8. I have all the files and packages in their =
appropreite directory's, Should i compile them?
  and how would i do this?    -Thanks for your time

[Trinux-talk] Follow-up: SSH....

[Sylar, J. <JS...@er...>]

OK, I got SSH to work with Trinux.
Some important safety tips:
1. Check the key files generated by ssh-keygen. I'm using a Windows port of
the OpenSSH client from NetworkSimplicity.com. When the keyfiles are
generated, ssh-keygen adds a Microsoft carriage return character to the end
of identity.pub. I believe the extra character was causing the server to
reject the keys during RSA authentication. I don't know this for a fact; but
using VI to remove the extra character seemed to solve my key-reject
problems. I don't know if this is the case for other SSH clients ported to
Windows, but it might be a good idea to check if you're using one and having
problems....
2. Don't use only half a brain cell to read the sshd man page (like I did).
I found I must specify "RSAAuthentication yes" and "PermitRootLogin
without-password" in my sshd_config to start a session. I'm using the most
recent SSHD from Matthew's site (v2.1.1, I think). Again, I don't know if
having to specify the server startup options is client-specific, but my
client session won't start without them. Also, when starting your client
session, specify "-l root" on the command line....
3. Take advantage of the passphrases option when generating keys. Since
you'll be logging in as root without a password, its a real good idea to
generate passphrases with your key files....
Comments/critique are welcomed :-)

Re: [Trinux-talk] Nic Trouble.

[Patrick W. <pwh...@ch...>]

I'm using .70

Do you really think specifying the address and irq will help?  looking at the
/proc/pci entry, it appears as if the device is detected, the system just doesn't
recognize the vendor and device ID.

But I haven't tried yet to specify the address and irq, because I'm unsure of the
syntax.  How would I specify these params?

Screen works on linux. It wouldn't be too hard to make a trinux pkg of it. I'll have a look at it and try making a pkg tonight.

Re: [Trinux-talk] New/updated packages & working 2.4.1 Trinux

[Brett S. <Sim...@hi...>]

I would be interested and getting a copy. Where do I need to go?


Updated:
ssldump - an SSL sniffer

New:
angst - another "active
firewalk - a relatively old (1998) tool for determining ACLs on
router/firewalls


Last weekend, I got a 2.4.1 kernel working with Trinux. Drop me a note if
you interested and if I get enough responses, I'll release the boot disk
and the kernel modules for testing. I was quite pleased that there doesn't
seem to be nearly the bloat as from 2.0 to 2.2.

Unfortunately, I've been too busy at work to complete the "last
mile" necessary for the final .80 release. I've heard some complaints
about package loading of the hard drive not working (a requirement for
Laptop users) so I'm hoping to get that resolved.=20

I'm shooting for an .80 release in March sometime, before
CanSecWest/core01 (http://www.cansecwest.com) conference where I'll be
speaking along with Fyodor, Marty Roesch, Dug Song, Lance Spitzner, and a
whole lot more folks you've heard of...

Re: [Trinux-talk] Nic Trouble.

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

Which version (.7x or the .80 pre-release) are you using? For the .8x, it
looks like tulip support is enabled.

http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/boot-images/boot080pre1.flp

You might also try modifying the syslinux.cfg on the boot floppy so that
you specify the io port and irq (although typically you don't have to do
that for PCI nics)

[Trinux-talk] Nic Trouble.

[Patrick W. <pwh...@ch...>]

Hi,

I'm trying out trinux, and my nic isn't being recognized by the kernel.  Any
advice?

When I do a 'dmesg | grep eth'  I get nothing.  When I look at /proc/pci  I see
an entry like this:
============================
 Bus  0, device  17, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 17).
      Vendor id=1317. Device id=985.
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 10.  Master Capable.  Late

ncy=240.  Min Gnt=255.Max Lat=255.
      I/O at 0xfc00 [0xfc01].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xffbefc00 [0xffbefc00].

============================

Is there a way to specify what driver to use for this device?  The card is a
'Network Everywhere NC100.  When I boot RedHat 6.2 I use tulip.o for this card.

Is there any other info that would be helpful?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Patrick

Re: [Trinux-talk] terminal emulation

[Hennessy <hen...@ne...>]

Many terminal emulation software packages include what is called paging.
It's just like if you log into a unix machine, login, begin a process or
something,  hit ctrl+alt+F3 to get to another prompt without logging in a
second time.  The c-332 is only a minor issue in emulation.  It's an old
emulation anyway.  I'm almost positive there is an emulator out there.

Thanks,
        Nick

[Trinux-talk] SSH...

[Sylar, J. <JS...@er...>]

Trying SSH on Trinux I've run into some problems and I'm wondering if anyone
has seen this.
I've installed opensshd.tgz from Matthew's site, and a Windows port of the
openssh client from NetworkSimplicity.com.
I installed the client, generated the keys, and followed Matthew's
directions on the Trinux site for setting up ssh. When I try to connect, my
client outputs the following:

RE: [Trinux-talk] Console and setup questions....

[Sylar, J. <JS...@er...>]

Yes, video mode.... 
I ran VGA scan and I can't get much more than the 80x34 resolution I already
have. To make better use of the screen, I suppose I'd have to find a way to
load the drivers for the video adapter in the laptop and run X86cfg....So
for the time-being, I guess its good like it is :-)

Yes, you're right, profile, .bashrc, and .profile do seem to be ignored at
the initial "login". I extended ../tux/init/last to copy a modified .bashrc
to /etc/profile and .bashrc with no results after boot-up. But if I
specifically invoke bash after I enter the console, it reads .bashrc and I
get the $PATH other environment changes I'm after. I don't think modifying
and recompiling initrd.gz would help, so that, too, will stay like it is for
now. What's the "issue" with busybox?

Got 'em. Thanks!

Next question: Has anyone successfully compiled and run nessus server on
trinux?
Thanks and best regards,
Sam

I have Trinux 8.0 running very well on an old IBM laptop. I'd like to be

On a similar note, I have dircolors running, but only manually. That is,
after boot-up when I press 'Enter' to activate a console, I need to type
"eval `dircolors -s /etc/DIR_COLORS`" to set and export $LS_COLORS. I'd like
this to be done during boot, and I've tried adding the command to the
"first" and "last" init scripts in ../tux/init with no luck. Am I correct in
thinking that I'll have to hack and recompile initrc.gz to get this line
into /etc/profile, as well as .profile and .bashrc when the machine boots
up? I'd like to modify $PATH as well. Same hack?
I saw that Matthew once posted the script he uses to compile a new
initrc.gz. Does anyone have it? Could you forward it to me?

[Trinux-talk] mounting hard drive

[RMaffeo <Rma...@sa...>]

recently downloaded trinux and images work great.  network config was a
cinch but cann't get it to mount any drives  I use mount -t ext2 /dev/hda
/mnt/hda  and it errors out.
i cann't even mount the floppy.  i also took it to a NT box but was unable
to mount the NTFS partition or the fat32.
any one know else had this problem.

Matthew,

Thanks. I have tried that, but still no luck. I think it may be struggling to mount the drives still.

I have included the messages file. 

Thanks, Ian

You need to add baselib.tgz and term.tgz to both your pkglist file and the
d:\trinux -- the boot script looks for baselib.tgz in the trinux directory
and if it doesn't find it it stops loading which is I think what you were
seeing.

I updated the documentation to provide more info on what packages are
needed.

[Trinux-talk] New/updated packages & working 2.4.1 Trinux

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

Updated:
ssldump - an SSL sniffer

New:
angst - another "active
firewalk - a relatively old (1998) tool for determining ACLs on
router/firewalls


Last weekend, I got a 2.4.1 kernel working with Trinux. Drop me a note if
you interested and if I get enough responses, I'll release the boot disk
and the kernel modules for testing. I was quite pleased that there doesn't
seem to be nearly the bloat as from 2.0 to 2.2.

Unfortunately, I've been too busy at work to complete the "last
mile" necessary for the final .80 release. I've heard some complaints
about package loading of the hard drive not working (a requirement for
Laptop users) so I'm hoping to get that resolved. 

I'm shooting for an .80 release in March sometime, before
CanSecWest/core01 (http://www.cansecwest.com) conference where I'll be
speaking along with Fyodor, Marty Roesch, Dug Song, Lance Spitzner, and a
whole lot more folks you've heard of...

Are you able to mount the filesystem manually?

Is an /hda[1-n] mount point created?

What are the contents of [C/D]:\trinux?

How did you download the xxxx.tgz packages? IE will automatically rename
them to xxxx.gz if you pick the default, which will cause loading to fail?
