I have provided broken links for some pages to be created. If you have something relevant to share, please register for an account and edit away! Thanks, Alexander Solar Designer 2008-05-14T00:04:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/940 Hello, The following technology looks promising and we might want to consider it for an inclusion into Owl. Is anybody interested in such a package? Ksplice - allows applying patches to the running kernel. More info at: http://web.mit.edu/ksplice/ (GalaxyMaster 2008-04-26T19:36:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/937 oxbvdarbbvy< at >bobshumate.com 2008-04-25T06:03:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/936 Hi together, I had to exchange several machines with newer hardware and now I have to use a newer kernel (2.6.25) because of the unsupported ICH9 chipset in 2.4.35. Are there any roadmaps/timetables to switch Owl to an 2.6 Kernel, or do I have to use an unpatched kernel for my new hardware? Which packages are kernel-dependent and should be rebuild under the new kernel? Any experiences? Greetings Bernhard Bernhard Fischer 2008-04-25T06:02:45 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/933 Hello, I'd like to point out that it doesn't look right: peach!root:~# ls -ld /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S*{syslog,named} lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 25 2006 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S20named -> ../init.d/named lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 25 2005 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S30syslog -> ../init.d/syslog peach!root:~# I think that the syslog service should be started prior any other service which wants to use syslog. Is this a bug or am I missing something? P.S. I haven't checked the current branch but I believe that the order is the same as in Owl 2.0-stable which I'm actively using lately (as you might already noticed :) ) (GalaxyMaster 2008-03-26T05:08:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/931 Hi, Today I was asked for a recommendation what other person should install on their office router. No doubt I suggested Owl, but when I was asked for an ISO image URL I figured out that I can provide them with the Owl-current ISO only since Owl-2.0-release is too old and Owl-2.0-stable has no ISO image at all: lftp ftp.ru.openwall.com:/pub/Owl> ls -l 2.0-release | fgrep iso drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 4096 Feb 15 2006 iso lftp ftp.ru.openwall.com:/pub/Owl> ls -l 2.0-stable | fgrep iso lftp ftp.ru.openwall.com:/pub/Owl> ls -l current | fgrep iso drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 4096 Jun 01 2007 iso lftp ftp.ru.openwall.com:/pub/Owl> Perhaps this is something to fix?

Michael Dexter 2007-08-30T12:49:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/922 JFYI: OWL uses iptables 1.2.11 and i came into that place where my iptables rules shows an inversion bug in iptables-save, libipt_conntrack.

I removed my floppy and due some quirk in the motherboard my CD won't boot :-) I guess I will find out anyway, this is just in the hope to save me some work, soooo lazy...

At creation of the user the group with the same name, as the new user is created. In/etc/default/adduser it is registered, that the new user should be added in the general group users (gid 100). Why it does not occur? How it is possible to correct it? Thanks. -- With best wishes, Vsevolod Martynenko mailto:faktroot< at >mail.ru System/Network Administrator TV/Video Engineer ICQ 163227020 Всеволод Александрович Мартыненко 2007-06-25T06:39:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/905 Quick question. Does pam_passwdqc support password history? Not just comparing the current password to the new password, but seeing if it's similar to, say, any of the last 3 passwords a user used? Apparently some government/company legislation/policies require history checking of current-N passwords, and I'm wondering if passwdqc does this. Thanks. Vincent Danen 2007-06-23T17:01:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/904 Hi, Openwall users! Many thanks to all for the help! I ask to forgive me if I have broken rules and has made something not how it is accepted. I have made it not purposely. Henceforth I shall try to not break rules of conference. Very much I hope, that the idea with WIKI will be realized. It will be the big help to beginning users OWL, as I. After the beginning of work with this distribution kit, I any more shall not want to pass to another:) Many thanks for good work to all developers! And still I ask to forgive me for my awful English:) -- With best wishes, Vsevolod Martynenko mailto:faktroot< at >mail.ru System/Network Administrator TV/Video Engineer ICQ 163227020 Всеволод Александрович Мартыненко 2007-06-22T02:45:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/897 Greetings to all!

The following packages have been significantly updated since the last ISO snapshot (January 9, 2007): PCRE, strace, BIND, OpenSSL, GnuPG, lftp, ELinks, file, Mutt, owl-cdrom. New with this ISO is support for booting off SATA and USB CD-ROM drives, in addition to IDE and SCSI ones that were supported previously. (Obviously, not all SATA and SCSI controllers are supported, but the goal is to include support for common ones.) As usual, the major changes are documented here: http://www.openwall.com/Owl/CHANGES-current.shtml and the ISO image can be downloaded from under /pub/Owl/current/iso (or equivalent) on the FTP mirrors: http://www.openwall.com/Owl/DOWNLOAD.shtml (The mirrors in Poland and Sweden do not yet have this new ISO. We'll try to fix that. Meanwhile, please use any of the remaining mirrors.) Solar Designer 2007-06-06T19:24:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/879 Hello, One of my clients has requested to install Plesk on Owl 2.0-stable, retaining as much as possible from Owl. The resulting system is more secure (if it even possible with Plesk :) ), has easy to customize Apache and MySQL (I'm running 5.0.41 with Plesk while it uses 4.1+ by default). I spent 10 hours to setup this beast and if anybody is interested I could publish my notes (I was writing down each step I performed). Indeed these notes aren't well-tested instructions on how to setup Plesk on Owl for any possible use, but they are a good starting point. Moreover, I can share a pre-packaged OpenVZ template where everything is installed, but Plesk user's configuration wasn't performed yet. Let me know if you are interested :). (GalaxyMaster 2007-06-02T03:27:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/872 Hi, does anyone have experiences with any kind of virtualization, running on top of Owl? At the moment I am running a lot of real Owl-machines as packet-filters and/or VPN-gateways. I think about to reduce my hardware-invest and looking for a suitable VM-solution that is field-tested, with Owl as the host-system. - Bernhard Bernhard Fischer 2007-05-08T16:01:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.openwall.user/869 I am going to start out and say I am a complete linux newbie it seems. I have been all over the net looking for how to solve this problem to no avail. I am trying to use openwall as a mail server with sshd and am unable to remotely access ANY of its ports. An nmap scan comes up empty as well. However, locally I can connect to both perfectly. I have stopped the iptables service and even removed it w/ chkconfig. Still no luck. I looked around in the pam files and still nothing that looked helpful. PLEASE any help would be greatly appreciated!
