I recently started a job at a small accounting firm and I'm the only person in the IT department. The person who setup our mail server has left the company. I know a little about linux and I learn something new everyday. I was going through the logs today I noticed that someone was trying to login into one or more of the default user accounts to read or send mail. I'm not sure if they were successful. So my question is what is the worst that can happen if I change all the passwords on the default accounts. I don't imagine the world will end but if I change some of the passwords and something stops working (like the email) I'll have 50 people crapping on my head.

 

I think my system has been compromised:

Just a quick hello from a new member (newb) but (possibly) not from a Linux noob...

 

.. but then, that depends upon your point of view, eh?

Hi, I have a problem after one compilation. My computer is a DELL Vostro 200, Intel Core2 Duo CPU E4500 (2.20GHz, 800FSB 2MB L2) with a hard drive: 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive 7200RPM, 8MB Cache.

I've installed debian etch r0 which had a kernel 2.6.18 and I decided to install a 2.6.26 kernel.

I've done anything right like this tutorial says (http://wiki.loli-grub.be/index.php/Compi...bian_Etch, sorry it's in french).

Everething was ok, after compilation, I reboot my computer, and try to go in the new installed kernel. But I get this :

usbhid: v2.6:USB HID core driver (hangs up for a long time here - few minutes)

 

Done.

 

Check root=bootarg cat /proc/cmdline

or missing modules, devies: cat /proc/modules ls /dev

ALERT! /dev/sdb1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

 

BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-4) Built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

 

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

(initramfs)

 

Then I'm in the shel model.

I have to sayy that for the installation of the first system debian etch r0, I've disabled the SATA mode in the bios, I put it to RAID, instead of IDE...beacause in IDE mode, at the begining of the installation he don't recognise the dvd.

Can somebody help me pleeeeeease!!!!!

Also please advise if when do we expect the netdump server to generate logs

 

- does it creates log during normal reboot of a server or only during system crash / kernel panic

Apologies in advance for the misuse of language - I'm new to Linux (hence Mint!), but not computer shy. My problem is trying to make my machine dual boot.

I have taken the hard disc out of a linux box and put it into my windows box, (intel core2 at heart), so the windows drive is disk 0, and linux is on drive 1.

 

I can boot into linux using SuperGrubDisk, (or swapping discs round in bios settings), but can't get it to work with the windows boot loader. I think the problem is that linux (and grub) was installed when disk was hd0, and even when I load linux is convinced it is loaded in hd0, [/dev/hda2]. However windows report that the linux partition is hd1, (and supergrub reports it as hd1; /dev/hdb2).

 

I followed instructions from http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/gru...HOWTO.html (but already had grub installed) to make copy of boot section of linux disk on windows drive and point the windows bootloader at it, but no joy! Any ideas how to resolve this issue so that I can use the windows boot loader to load either XP or Mint?

 

(Sadly, not just me that uses the computer so need windows to be the default OS)

 

Any help much appreciated,
