If that is the case, then get gparted live CD iso image, boot from the
gparted where the file(backup first!) with FAT is a hard drive.

Then resize to your hearts content. Have grown a qemu bootable winxp
where the FS is NTFS. Works fine.

Re: Possible Procmail Problem

You should quote shell arguments to avoid word splitting.
e.g.  "$SENDER" "$TO" "$BODY" "$SUBJECT"

Consult the bash(1) manual about word splitting.

[...]
Subject: Hi there this is a Test
Message: hello this is a test,

With this message, the passed values to my perl script would be Subject: Hi and Body: there..

That should only happen when the order of arguments is: ... $SUBJECT $BODY


whenever a space is detected in the subject of the email, it parses the subject and assigns the other part of the subject as the body. With this, the whole body of the email is not passed to my perl script...

Could anyone please point out what could be the problem with my procmail script?

I could point more problems but I don't think you should worry about them now. :-)

Weird Fedora net connection

I'm trying out Fedora 9. I wanted to see if there were any unnecessary
open ports. So I installed nmap and did a local scan (192.168.X.X
behind a DSL router). I managed to close all the open ports by turning
off all the services listed by nmap including sshd, sendmail and
something called rpc.

However when I ran etherape, I found a persistent connection to a site
called "rewards.e-games.com.ph". (After doing a dns resolve) I
couldn't find any program connecting to the said site. So I installed
chkrootkit but I found nothing suspicious in the output.

I have never played an online game, so I'm worried by this persistent
connection to the "e-games" site even when I'm not browsing and have
killed (-9) all background downloads (packagekit, yum, rpm and their
python helper programs).

[PLUG Giveaways - Ubuntu v8 and Fedora v9 Media Installers]

Hi Everyone,

I have some spare DVDs and CDs for Fedora and Ubuntu respectively. These are excess copies that I wasn't able to giveaway during the IT Expo.

Feel free to send me separate email if you are interested to have a copy - just select 1 distro so as to cover more people with limited stocks. By the way, you have to pick it up in our office:

Maenard Martinez
Trendmicro, 15/f IBM Plaza
Eastwood Cyberpark, E. Rodriguez Jr. Ave.
Bagumbayan, QC

Or you can call me 9956200 ext. 2845.

I can distribute it next week since I left the copies at home.
--
Regards,
Maenard

Re: Weird Fedora net connection

Sorry for the panic attack. It appears the site is running a time
server. I examined etherape's graphical output and saw that http had
the same color as ntp traffic. The system stopped connecting when I
disabled ntpd and ntpdate (I don't know which one Fedora is using as a
NTP client).

The weird thing is that before I disable ntp*, Fedora would contact
the site once every minute. It seems excessive so I just shut it down.
Since the connection was intermittent, it wouldn't show up in netstat.

Can't delete files, even as root


Hi all,

Every now and then, I use Ubuntu's prevu to backport source packages from Debian's experimental repo or
Ubuntu's Ibex repo to Hardy.  A few weeks ago I tried to backport the latest kernel from Ibex -- I wasn't
successful.  But this is not the problem.  The problem is, prevu creates folders in
/var/cache/prevu/[src|builds] and I can't delete the files and folder created by prevu when it
attempted to backport the kernel.  I get "Permission denied", even I'm trying to delete them as root.  lsof
doesn't show any locks or opened files.  Here're a few of these errors:

rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/status': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/limits': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/sched': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/cmdline': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/stat': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/statm': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/maps': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/mem': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/cwd': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/root': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/exe': Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `20423/proc/27325/mounts': Permission denied

All these files are under /var/cache/prevu/builds/

It seems that ./20423/proc/ is hardlinked (can you even do that?) or cloned to /proc/ .

Any suggestions on how do I delete the folder ./20423/ ?
