Google searches for "secure locate Kevin Lindsay" and "secure locate source" do not show any signs of ongoing maintenance, but do bring up a few security advisories related, afaict, to memory corruption. If it's a Google problem, sorry in advance to the maintainer.
View 6 RepliesNewbie here. I'm thinking about going from Ubuntu to Slackware and I just saw on Wikipedia that there is a number of projects that maintain GNOME binaries especially for Slack. So that made me wonder, why is that needed? What if I download a bare version of Slack and then build the standard GNOME version from source? Would that produce problems?

Is there a difference between these and their respective commands and if so what are they?

The rehash command re-computes the internal hash table of the contents of directories listed in the path environmental variable to account for new commands added.
I never knew about any internal hash tables. Why and how are they maintained?

As you can see, there are a lot of names beginning with the letter 'k'. Are these processes needed for the GUI to be fully functional when it is run (X Window System + WM + Xfce4)? And can I setup the system such that they're never run?
The reason for this question is that I am testing some programs and need the CPU to have as little time stolen as possible.
I'm really new to this subject. Instead of purchasing hosting services from another party, what requirements are necessary to host a domain yourself, i.e.:
1. Minimal connection speed
2. Minimal hardware requirements, e.g. disc space
3. Effort to host domain and secure Slackware
4. Will an average ISP provide sufficient reliability, i.e. uptime, and bandwidth?
I'm an Oracle DBA and started working for my current employer about 4 months ago. This past weekend an alert re: FS space brought my attention to /var/spool/clientmqueue (full of mail re: cron jobs) and the fact that sendmail is not running on our Linux servers.I'm told that the IT security team deemed sendmail too vulnerable so we don't run it.Aside from FS filling up and missing notification of issues with crontab entries, I'm concerned that we may be missing notification of potential issues. In other Unix/Linux environments I've seen emails from the print daemon when it experienced problems with specific jobs.
Are there other Linux facilities aside from cron and lpd that use email to advise the users of possible issues? Are there ways to secure sendmail or secure alternatives to sendmail? My primary need/desire is to make sure that emails regarding issues on the server get to the appropriate users. Secondary goal would be to have the ability to use mailx to send mail out. There is No need/desire to receive mail from outside.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAnyway, the issue that I am having is that when running GDB, the program will execute perfectly fine if I allow it to run without breakpoints if I skip stepping through the function using the 'n' command, but it will provide me with the following error if I try to step through it:
35 srand( time(NULL));
(gdb) s
time () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/time.S:32
32 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/time.S: No such file or directory.
in ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/time.S
This happens not just for time() but for every function that would be found in the included libraries.
I included stdlib in the code, and in fact this code works perfectly fine on another system using Ubuntu 10.04 and GDB. The source paths are identical between these two machines as well ( $cdir:$cwd ).

I've just recently installed Debian on my laptop and I'm currently having problems with an occasional white flickering at the top of my screen.
I want to rule out whether this is a driver issue since at boot, just before the GUI pops up, I get a handful of error messages complaining about missing firmware.
So my first problem is rather simple: I'd like to actually read these messages in full but I cannot find them in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/dmesg.
I am running a version of Fedora 10 on my PC for development puposes. The strange problem I have encountered is that I cannot locate the C compiler being used. I have looked for G++ GCC, etc but cannot find it. Does anyone know the compiler being used or the command to find it through command line.

View 4 Replies View RelatedGot an external harddisk and when inserting it into my desktop running openSUSE 11.2, dolphin will recognise it as /media/testing.

e2label: Is a directory while trying to open /media/testing/

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to backup everything, format/overwrite an partition to start with a fresh start after some annoying issues with my previous installation.
I had a perfectly fine working partition table and i chose to format partition
#1 (Ext4) partition (~50gb)
from the installation tool from the ubuntu live cd.
I had more partitions
#2 was ~5gbits swap
#3 was some unencrypted data(~20gb) (I think it was Ext3)
#4 was encrypted data (~150gb) (Ext4)
#5 unpartitioned data (~100gb)
So while doing this the installation failed somehow during the format of the disks, I tried testdisk but it couldn't locate the HDD nor any other program. When I look at my /dev it says this (from live cd):
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# fdisk -l
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu#
Mount says:
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# mount
aufs on / type aufs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
/dev/sr0 on /cdrom type iso9660 (rw) .....
/dev/sdxx doesn't even exist and this also doesn't seem to work:
