9/22    I know of MindTerm, as well as a whole slew of httpstunnel
        ssh-over-https scripts;  does anyone know of a java applet which
        combines the two?  -John

9/22    Wow, someone *really* doesn't like it when people talk about
        wartime or military technologies.  I wonder what the big deal is....
        \_ I ve noticed people like to delete threads where I reply and
           sign my name. -- ilyas
           \_ Perhaps -- but the Motd Military Censoring Cocksucker seems to
              rabidly censor anything military that turns into a lengthier
              discussion.
           \_ Have you noticed people like to delete threads where your
              name isn't signed?
              \_ Not particularly, no.  Someone's slacking I guess.

9/22    I've had 2 Vietnamese roomates so far and I think they're AWFUL.
        They are dirty, lie about bills, and one of them is a thief (stole
        my credit card number and used them to order stuff sent to their
        homes in San Diego). I think of all the Asians out there, the
        Vietnamese people are amongst them one of the nastiest out there.
        I'm not saying ALL VCs are bad, just that in my personal experience
        many of them are. Also, I'm not saying that they're genetically
        inferior-- their behaviour is mostly defined by their background,
        and their refugee background is most likely what makes them what
        they are. Roomates, beware, and good luck to you all.

9/22    I'm trying to debug the source of a particular type of arp
        traffic on my network. Basically I'm seeing something like
        the following at a rate of about 1/s from dozens of hosts:

        11:17:14.372348 arp who-has xxx (Broadcast) tell xxx

        Any ideas about where to get started? (I've traced the
        cabling to and from our switches and it looks like there
        are no loops, in case that helps).
        \_ are the xxx's censoring, or is that the actual output?
           \_ censoring.  --seen it elsewhere, --!OP
        \_ Welchia virus
                \_ Unless Redhat's 7.3 cds are infected with
                   this, I doubt it. My network consists almost
                   exclusively of systems running 7.3 (many are
                   kickstarted every few days).
                   \- look at the mac address which should give you the
                      OUI ... you can figure out the mfgr [sic] of the
                      ethernet card. do you have access to your switch?
                      you can dump the mapping tables and get a physical
                      switch port. --psb
                        \_ When I remove an offending system from the
                           switch its arp traffic goes away, but almost
                           half of the systems on our switches are
                           producing this type of arp request. I'm
                           guessing it is some sort of config problem
                           either on the nic or the switch.
                           \_ Check /etc/sysctl.conf.  See if it's trying to
                              act as a gateway.  Also check for routed and
                              the like
        \_ I see tons of this shit on my home cable modem.  Annoying but
           harmless if it's from the outside.  Is that an external or all-
           internal switch you're looking at?
                \_ Internal switch. This is all local traffic. There is
                   so much arp traffic that it is causing significant
                   degradation in the network throughput. I have gige
                   switches (4 cisco 3750s) and all the systems have gige
                   nics (intel etherexpress 1000 or something) but I can
                   barely get 100Mb transfer speeds (6000K/s) between
                   systems.
                   \_ You sure there isn't some rogue windows box on that
                      net?  Check for SMB traffic and other windowsy crap
                      on your net.
                        \_ I removed our switches from the main net so
                           that only the linux boxes and a couple of u10
                           were on the network and I still get this traffic.
                           I think that the gateway thing might be the
                           issue. I'll look at that today.
                           \_ Stopping these arps is not going to fix your
                              slow network problem. Do the math: 100 hosts *
                              1 arp/sec * 1024 bits/arp = 100 kb/sec. This
                              is nothing to your 1GB/s network. Your problem
                              is a full duplex/half duplex autonegotiation
                              problem or perhaps a 1GB/100MB auto negotiation
                              problem, I bet. -ausman
                              \_ Ding.  Ausman wins.  I would also posit that
                                 the arps are normal.  It's called Layer 2.
                                 \- are you seeing ethernet frame errors?--psb

9/22    To counter my own reference for Clark yesterday.  Here's a real
        soldier's opinion of him.
        http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=34738
        \_ worldnetdaily is not very reputable
           \_ Says you.  I respect Hackworth because I've read his books and
              followed him in the news.  He's very principled and is always
              watching out for the safety of our soldiers.
              \_ notice that worldnetdaily not being very reputable is
                 independent of how principled Hackworth actually is
              \_ Hackworth said on the 3rd week of the Iraq war that it
                 was going badly. He also interviewed Boorda to point the
                 CNO took his own life. I know he means well, but sometimes
                 he's little out there.
           \_ And the editorials posted yesterday were?
           \_ BUT ANONYMOUZ POSTZ ON THE MOTD SHUR ARE!!
           \_ But anonymous posts on the motd sure are!
              \_ mo'e dan wo'ldnetdaily, t'be sho' nuff
                 \_ zee svedeesh cheff is mure-a repooteble-a
                    thun uny ooff yuoo!
                    Bork Bork Bork!
           \_ True, but they're usually pretty down on dems. This is
              bizarrely refreshing.
        \_ ok, this column has robert e. lee as graduating #1 from west
           point, but i've heard from so many other places that he was
           #2 in his class.  who was #1 if he wasn't?
           \_ Charles Mason was #1, Democratic lawyer, NY newspaper editor,
              Iowa chief justice.  Robert E Lee was highest ranking cadet,
              so he beats Mason in terms of "chain of command" rank, thus
              "highest ranking" but not "graduated first in class".
              \_ mo'e dan wo'ldnetdaily, t'be sho' nuff
              "highest ranking" but not "graduated first in class".
              \_ ok, good to know.  thanks.

9/22    OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 (portable, ie non-OpenBSD) has been released.
        There are multiple vulnerabilities with the PAM auth code in
        3.7.1p1, so if you use PAM (Solaris/Linux) you should upgrade.

        http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=106432248411636&w=2
        \_ Is there an sshd that just works?  I'd be happy with a v2 sshd
           without holes that just allows simple logins.  Any other features
           after that would be a bonus.  Any suggestions?  Please?
           \_ Sigh.  OpenSSH "just works".  It's just that its vulnerabilities
              are declared and found more frequently than commercial SSH
              daemons.  Not saying those are any better or worse, but you are
              deluding yourself if you think that any piece of cryptographic
              software is "secure" just because no bugs are ever publicly
              announced.  Patching system components is a part of life as a
              sysadmin, get used to it.  -John
              \_ I am all for opensource but doesn't it bring as much harm
                 as benefit in terms of security?  Sure patchs are made on
                 more frequently, but isn't it much easier in theory to find a
                 bug to exploit when the source is available than otherwise?
                 \_ Do you occasionally look at Bugtraq?  I suggest you do,
                    if only to make it clear that having a commercial program
                    doesn't add much in the way of security.  Ask Microsoft.
                    "Better the devil you know"...  -John
                    \_ I'm not making my point.  I can see that.  I don't care
                       who wrote it or why or where it comes from.  I just want
                       an sshd with minimal features and fewer holes than what
                       openssh has.  If you don't know of one, thanks, that's
                       ok.
                 \_ would you prefer to know that holes are being found and
                    patched at the cost of having to upgrade, or instead
                    not know about holes and ignore upgrades in ignorant bliss?
                    \_ I'm not making my point.  I can see that.  I don't care
                       who wrote it or why or where it comes from.  I just want
                       an sshd with minimal features and fewer holes than what
                       openssh has.  If you don't know of one, thanks, that's
                       ok.
                        \_ You're very clear--I'm simply saying that OpenSSH
                           is pretty much "it" for open-souce sshd, and with
                           the non-open source ones, no, you probably won't be
                           patching so often, but that says nothing about the
                           amount of holes in them.  -John
              \_ I don't care if the alternative is commercial or not.  I just
                 want something I won't be patching three times in a week.  I'm
                 not concerned with open vs commercial philosophy.
                 \_ It's nothing to do with commercial or open source.  It's
                    a question of security.  If all you care about is not
                    patching something, then don't run OpenSSH.  This is
                    what's known as 'sticking your head in the sand'.  And
                    yes, what you don't know _can_ hurt you.  Your call. -John
                    \_ I'm not making my point.  I can see that.  I don't care
                       who wrote it or why or where it comes from.  I just want
                       an sshd with minimal features and fewer holes than what
                       openssh has.  If you don't know of one, thanks, that's
                       ok.
        \_ Argh! Nooo! Is this a joke? I had already had to upgrade OpenSSH
           on nearly 200 hosts -twice- during last week.
           What the #$(@)@*!!
           \_ Pride goeth before a fall.
              \_ Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit
                 before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
           \_ That's why it makes sense to wait to upgrade. OpenSSH
              *always* has one or two patches out within a week. --dim
              \_ wait a week to upgrade while getting hacked in the meantime?
                 swell idea, i wish i'd thought of it.
                 \_ There are no known exploits for this vulnerability, nor for
                    most of the ones being found lately. "It is uncertain
                    whether these errors are potentially exploitable,
                    however, we prefer to see bugs fixed proactively." --dim
                    \_ so says them. securityfocus paints a different picture.
                       in any case, better safe than sorry.
                       \_ More than once the "new" OpenSSH has been more flawed
                          than the original. An example was when the privilege
                          separation code was first added. It is common for
                          the OpenSSH folks to fix a bug and then have to
                          fix their fix. Hence, we are at p2 already. Just wait
                          for the bozos to figure it out unless the bug is
                          easily exploited. --dim
                          \_ they're not exactly fixing their fix. they somewhat
                             hastily made a release with *new* functionality,
                             which was probably not well-tested. so just patch
                             the old 3.6.1p2 and you're fine.
        \_ Jesus fucking Christ!  Is there a simple v2 sshd out there that
           just works?!  I don't need all the whiz bang features, just a
           login shell.  If it could port forward that would be a bonus
           but I could survive without it if it meant I could stop the
           upgrade madness.
           \_ what's this whole upgrade madness? it's been a while since
              the last major openssh scare. fwiw, maybe you should've just
              patched 3.6.1 and been done with it.
           \_ lsh might be what you are looking for. Keep in mind that
              OpenSSH has a larger user base, developer base and h4x0r
              base so gets more auditing.
              \_ and lsh had its own remote exploitable bug days later.
                 so what's the difference.

9/23    Myth of pre-Chinese Tibetan "utopia"
        http://www.swans.com/library/art9/mparen01.html
        \_ yeah, its much better now. The Chinses are killing monks,
           burning monastaries, destroying religious texts, forcably
           sterilizing Tibetan women, taking children as political
           prisoners, and relocating Han Chinese to populate the regon.
           \_ Likely you didn't even follow the link.  I'm in agreement
              with you mostly - Chinese rule is no picnic.  However, Westerners
              love to romanticize pre-China tibet and in particular the
              Dalai Lama, when the reality is much more complicated.
                 \_ It is hard to be worse than what it was like under the rule
                    of the Lama.  As for destroying monasteries, see below.
                    \_ Wow, really?  The lamas were genociding their own
                       people?  Have you published this shocking new historical
                       discovery?  This is PhD quality history research!  Whoa!
                       The lamas were butchers... who ever woulda thunk it?
              \_ Just because it sucked before doesn't mean it's ok for the
                 communists to move in and turn it into a communist anti-
                 utopia.  It's both worse now and oppressive.  BTW, they
                 stopped destroying monasteries decades ago after destroying
                 the first 5,000 of them.  With only a few dozen left, it
                 doesn't matter anymore.
              \_ Likeley you have NO idea I followed the link, bozo.
                 Yes, Old tibet is not utopia, but current tibet is
                 a total tradegy. have some compassion.
                 \_ Modern tibet is probably much like previous
                   incarnations of Tibet. The Tibetian problem has
                   \_ Are you HIGH?
                   always been Sinoistic in nature. Tibet and China
                   share a common history, and relations have always
                   entangled. Westerners should be wise to learn the
                   true nature of the issues before proclaiming their
                   one-sided views on subjects they have no true idea
                   about. Tibet, like Iraq, like Palestine, has no
                   easy questions to profer, and no easy answers.
                   \_ I love it when someone refers to systematic genocide
                      as "The <insert victim race here> Problem".  The Tibetan
                      Problem.  The Jewish Problem.  The Kurdish Problem.  The
                      Native Problem.  It goes on.  Add your favorites.
                   \_ systematic eradication of a culture is indefensible.
                      The Chinese burned all the Tibetan artifacts they
                      could find.  They slaughtered all the monks in Tibet.
                      They forcibly moved in a Chinese population in order
                      to breed out the Tibetan culture.  How do you explain
                      that in the context of history?
                      \_ The central governement was singularly lenient when
                         it comes to Tibetan insurgency.  The current Dalai
                         Lama and his huge entourage was essentially allowed
                         to go when they were totally surrounded.  Despite
                         repeated uprising by armed monks (a buddhist
                         oxymoron), they were not systematically executed,
                         although I would not envy their position.  The ethnic
                         tibetan red guards did most of the desrution of
                         cultural treasures, thinking rightly that their
                         once rich culrture has so far fallen behind the
                         outside world (more so than say Afghanistan) but
                         wrongly that they could leap forward by destroying
                         what they already had.  In fact the Chinese army
                         were the one who prevented the destruction of the
                         major sites during the cultural revolution.

                               no English translation exists, since a book

                               has a hard time getting published in the west.
                               To the "China Bad" people, a book being written
                               by a Han Chinese is automatically discredited
                               unless the author is a card carrying dissident,
                               which in this case is kind of true. He has been
                               arrested before.  I do not really like his
                               analysis or prose but at least he
                               tries to do a research of the facts and ends up
                               offending everyone.  Actually if one is willing
                               to be rational for a second, it is obvious what
                               kind of a place where people send their children
                               to become monks must be the exact opposite of
                               a paradise.  The propanganda of the Chinese
                               government regarding the extreme sad state of
                               Tibet before Dalai ran away is basically true,
                               but of course they like to neglect the many
                               blunders they committed in Tibet and elsewhere
                               that costed many many lives.  Though it is
                               nothing the government'd be proud to advertise,
                               Tibet is one of the places where situation did
                               not become worse than before even during the
                               worst years of Mao's rule.  Anyway, both the
                               truth and the half truth are less appealing
                               than the fairy/horror tale + hollywood preaching
                               of the Lama.  BTW, I visited Tibet twice.
                               There is tension there but nothing too serious.
                               In terms of ethnicity, it's going the way of
                               the US sans genocide (of Indians).  That
                               is the worst possibility except for all the
                               others, human being human.

                               \_ Ok, that's all nice but you still haven't
                                  provided the tiniest shred of proof.  This is
                                  communist propaganda and nothing more.  To
                                  say that it's hard to get anything published
                                  in the West is so laughable as to be beyond
                                  absurd.  Hello?  Duh?  We don't have the
                                  censorship here that your beloved communists
                                  inflict on their people on a daily basis.
                                  I'll only respond to one other point, the
                                  idea that there's little tension in Tibet:
                                  of course by this point that could be true.
                                  The communists murdered, imprisoned, or
                                  exiled 99% of the resistence.  One of my
                                  professors visited 10 years ago and reported
                   share a common history, and relations have always
                   entangled. Westerners should be wise to learn the
                                  that by that time the communists had shipped
                                  in so many non-Tibetans that there really
                                  was no serious hope of ever restoring what
                                  little is left of Tibetan culture.  So I say
                                  to you, congratulations on your communist
                                  hero's successful genocide of another people.
                   \_ What was so complicated? There was Tibet. There was
                      China. China invaded Tibet. End of story.
                      \_ You could go on to say there was alway US., there was
                         always Tibet.  But if you really want to use your head
                         and learn something real, you should know that
                         Tibetan was an  automonous region within Chinese
                         dynasties, which is sort of like a federated system.
                         Then they wanted to break away when the central
                         government was under siege from all sides.  The rest
                         is history.  Yes, the military operation and followup
                         restoration was harsh, but it is brutal in the sense
                         that the US civil war and the consequent years of
                         restoration was harsh, and probably more so in
                         relative scale.  Anyway, Dalai Lama's bid for
                         independence had all to do with personal ambition of
                         a sector of a tiny but rutheless ruling elite, taken
                         advantage of by foreign powers (Britan, Russian, then
                         India and US), than the welfare of the people or their
                         religious faith.  Alas it was a failed gamble and has
                         terrible consequency for all people of China, Tibetans
                         or otherwise, except those "refugees" who live a
                         pampered life on the Swiss alps and his holiness
                         who has become an icon and idol like a rock star.
