Howtogeek shows you how to browse your Linux partition from Windows

Ever need to grab a file or two from your ext4 partition? Maybe you've wanted to backup a few important files while you were in Windows. Here's how to browse your Linux partition from Windows using a tool called Ext2explore.
Most Linux distributions nowadays use the ext4 partition by default, and while there are some tools that can read the older ext2 and ext3 partitions, Ext2explore (also known as Ext2Read) is the only one that we've seen that is able to read all three. In the spirit of Linux, it's also open source.

New in v5: Distributed Login Failure Attack detection
New in v5: Temporary IP allows (with TTL)
New in v5: IPv6 Support with ip6tables
...lots more!

The reason we have developed this suite is that we have found over the years of providing server services that many of the tools available for the task are either over-complex, not user friendly, or simply aren't as effective as they could be.

Changes:

- Removed erroneous Port Knocking messages in lfd.log when PORTKNOCKING_ALERT not enabled
- Added 'exe:/usr/bin/postgres' to the cPanel csf.pignore for new installations
- Added retry timeout in WHM UI for checking www.configserver.com for new version information (to avoid repeated hangs when unreachable)
- Fixed LF_PERMBLOCK issue that flushed all temporary IP blocks, not just the IP being permanently blocked
- Added check to PHP Server Check that php -i output is complete

New csf v5.11

Howtoforge posted a guide about setting up Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) With BIND & Dovecot

This tutorial shows how to prepare a Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) server for the installation of ISPConfig 3, and how to install ISPConfig 3. ISPConfig 3 is a webhosting control panel that allows you to configure the following services through a web browser: Apache web server, Postfix mail server, MySQL, BIND nameserver, PureFTPd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and many more. This tutorials differs from The Perfect Server - Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) [ISPConfig 3] in that I use BIND and Dovecot here instead of MyDNS and Courier (of course, the other two variants - BIND & Courier or MyDNS and Dovecot are possible as well).

Linux User posted a review on openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 2

There’s nothing quite like looking at a new Linux version—especially a minor release that promises to bring so much to the user as does OpenSUSE’s latest effort: 11.4. OpenSUSE 11.4 might prove to be the best upgrade since the leap from OpenSUSE 10.X to 11.X. Though these early “Milestones” as they’re called, are alpha versions, 11.4 Milestone 2 is very stable and surprisingly responsive, even installed into a virtual machine the speed enrichments are quite striking. That performance boost is one of the big improvements over earlier versions with 11.4’s new kernel (2.6.36) and updated Xorg packages. Expect impressive boot times and enhanced performance for application launches.

[RHSA-2010:0771-01] Moderate: kernel-rt security and bug fix update
=====================================================================
Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Moderate: kernel-rt security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0771-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise MRG for RHEL-5
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0771.html
Issue date: 2010-10-14
CVE Names: CVE-2010-0307 CVE-2010-2942 CVE-2010-2955
CVE-2010-3297
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

Updated kernel-rt packages that fix multiple security issues and upgrade
the kernel-rt kernel to version 2.6.33.7-rt29 are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise MRG 1.3.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,
which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability
from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

MRG Realtime for RHEL 5 Server - i386, noarch, x86_64

3. Description:

The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

This update fixes the following security issues:

* On AMD64 systems, it was discovered that the kernel did not ensure the
ELF interpreter was available before making a call to the SET_PERSONALITY
macro. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by
running a 32-bit application that attempts to execute a 64-bit application.
(CVE-2010-0307, Moderate)

* Information leak flaws were found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control
Unit implementation. A local attacker could use these flaws to cause the
kernel to leak kernel memory to user-space, possibly leading to the
disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2010-2942, Moderate)

* It was found that wireless drivers might not always clear allocated
buffers when handling a driver-specific IOCTL information request. A local
user could trigger this flaw to cause kernel memory to leak from the heap
to user-space, leading to an information leak. (CVE-2010-2955, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the eql_g_master_cfg() function in the Linux kernel
equalizer load-balancer for serial network interfaces implementation. A
data structure in eql_g_master_cfg() was not initialized properly before
being copied to user-space. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw
to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3297, Moderate)

Red Hat would like to thank Mathias Krause for reporting CVE-2010-0307, and
Dan Rosenberg for reporting CVE-2010-3297.

This update also fixes the following bugs:

* The mkinitrd utility reported the following warning message when creating
an initial ramdisk:

No module dm-mem-cache found for kernel [version], aborting.

This was caused by an erroneous dependency on dmraid-related modules. This
update removes these dependencies with the result that mkinitrd does not
issue a spurious warning about the dm-mem-cache module not being found.
(BZ#482753)

* The ibm_rtl kernel module now performs more exhaustive checking to ensure
it only loads on correct IBM hardware. (BZ#612275)

* The realtime Linux kernel has been upgraded to upstream version
2.6.33.7-rt29, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements for
Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1.3. (BZ#638672)

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which upgrade the kernel-rt
kernel to version 2.6.33.7-rt29 to correct these issues. The system must be
rebooted for this update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh [package]". Do not
use "rpm -Uvh" as that will remove the running kernel binaries from
your system. You may use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after
determining that the new kernel functions properly on your system.

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

482753 - mkinitrd erroneously inserts dependencies to dm-mem-cache (not present on MRG)
560547 - CVE-2010-0307 kernel: DoS on x86_64
612275 - WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:148 __ioremap_caller+0x160/0x30e()
624903 - CVE-2010-2942 kernel: net sched: fix some kernel memory leaks
628434 - CVE-2010-2955 kernel: wireless: fix 64K kernel heap content leak via ioctl
633145 - CVE-2010-3297 kernel: drivers/net/eql.c: reading uninitialized stack memory
638672 - Need to move the MRG RT source base to upstream RT (2.6.33)

OMG! Ubuntu! posted a tip about adding custom entries to the Ubuntu Messaging Menu

Whilst this method doesn't provide notification support for any added application - which is sort of the point of the Messaging Menu - it's nevertheless an easy way to add an accessible launcher.

Unixmen shows you how to install Cairo-Dock, AWN and Docky in Ubuntu10.10 Maverick Meerkat

It is a powerful ally to those who handle it with wisdom and restraint and a harsh mistress to those who throw caution to the wind.

Generally speaking, it preserves the contents of those partitions but there is a potential for loss. Its most common usage is for those who want to resize disk partitions–a task that it performs very well.

The Inquirer posted their preview on Ubuntu 10.10

Following on from one of the year's biggest operating system launches, Ubuntu 10.04, this latest 10.10 beta is somewhat more sedate, almost lacking in the visual novelty that its predecessor had. While 10.04 was a Long Term Support release (LTS), 10.10 will be a standard release that comes with 18 months of updates. Not only are LTS releases more infrequent, the longer life and more consistent branding and support of 10.04 will mean that 10.10 and later releases until the next LTS version will always be the act that followed The Beatles.
