community wiki

Hi,

We've just setup the Openwall Community Wiki at:

	http://openwall.info/wiki/

and there's a DokuWiki "namespace" for Owl user community resources:

	http://openwall.info/wiki/Owl

It may contain pages on and links to things such as tutorials for new
users, advanced usage examples, and more.

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

An interesting link and possibly a candidate package for Owl

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/

Owl and 2.6 kernel

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

named SysV order seems to be wrong

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 :) )

no 2.0-stable ISO?

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?

bug: sed segfaults

Hello,

I've just encountered a bug in Owl sed and narrowed this bug down to the
shortest pattern that is triggering the bug:

mother!galaxy:~$ sed '/^\(\)$/d' /dev/null
Segmentation fault
mother!galaxy:~$ sed --version | head -n1
GNU sed version 4.1.4
mother!galaxy:~$ rpm -q sed
sed-4.1.4-owl1
mother!galaxy:~$

I've also checked sed in Ubuntu, their sed has no such bug:

galaxy <at> intruder:~$ sed '/^\(\)$/d' /dev/null
galaxy <at> intruder:~$ sed --version | head -n1
GNU sed version 4.1.5
galaxy <at> intruder:~$ dpkg -l sed | sed -n 6p
ii  sed            4.1.5-2        The GNU sed stream editor
galaxy <at> intruder:~$

I did, however, it was done on my home machine.

Will try to upload the image to ftp.ru.openwall.com once I get home.
How urgent is this?

A newer and better revision of the above package has just been
introduced into Owl-current, replacing raidtools.

Thank you, Galaxy!

OWL on Routerboard and cross building?


Hello,

Is anyone using OWL on the MikroTik Routerboards?

Is anyone cross-building OWL on non-Linux platforms?

Thanks!

Michael.

address inversion of conntrack match

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.

The fix of the address inversion of
conntrack match	comes from Tom Eastep.
And was merged into iptables 1.3.4.
