yum update fedora 4 undefined symbol: krb5_prompter_pocix

Posted: 29 Jan 2006 12:12 PM PST

Very unlikely someone hacked in, I have the box locked down
tight, using NAT (all ports closed cept DNS, MySQL, HTTP, and SSH).
Ive got IPTables running as well as hosts.allow/deny....then again,
anything is
always possible. I ran chkroot (and this doesnt always report
everything of
course), its ok. My secure logs are fine.

It seems this occured after my last yum update the other day.
I got yum.conf from fedorafaq.com a while back.
Im running Fedora core 4, nothing special on anything.

Ive never done what you asked, looking to see what packages are there.
Yes
I can view all the directories but there's a lot of info there.

Ive also never done an rpm --rebuilddb

Trying to run rpm is (apparently) impossible now-

rpm says:
100 ROOT fedora /var/lib/rpm rpm
rpm: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3: undefined symbol:
krb5_prompter_pocix, version krb5_3_MIT

/bin/rpm

102 ROOT fedora /var/lib/rpm l /bin/rpm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rpm rpm 93564 Jul 13 2005 /bin/rpm*

GRUB advice needed.

By "new" I meant new-from-the-store. I should probably explain
that when my current "main" HDD gets a little age on it, I buy a
new (and usually larger) one. I physically install it as /dev/hda
and load Linux on it from scratch. I physically relocate the
old one to /dev/hdb or hdc and copy over whatever files I need
onto the new /dev/hda. Eventually the old one is removed and
stored - if I ever need it I can just plug it in again as /dev/hda
and boot it up.

OK, I think I'm now getting the picture: I keep a boot partition
but the only things on it are the grub files - the kernel
and such goes into the /boot directory on the root partition for
that particular Linux version and a grub stage 2 loader goes
in the PBR of the same root partition. Is that correct?

Note: comments inline

Is this your board:
http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/77909774/m/939006737731/inc/-1

I found this review, which does talk about improving support for that
board with newer kernels. That could explain some of the trouble you had
with live CDs.

BTW, trying out live CDs is a great way to find out what Linux is all
about. You are ahead in the game because you have already tried some.
You've had the basic introduction, and now you want more. Good!

Have you picked a distribution? Did you like Ubuntu? Here is the list of
currently popular distributions:
http://distrowatch.com/stats.php?section=popularity

The Fedora documentation is good starting point for a newcomer:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/fc4/

All of the distribution's setup discs (except live CDs) are trying to
achieve the same general goal: install a GNU/Linux on the target system.
The explicitly correct instructions will depend upon which distribution
that you decide to use.

Dual boot issue: GRUB/NTLDR etc.

hi;
Being new to linux myself (definitely the blind leading the blind) -
I've been reading along these various linux NGs over the last couple of
weeks, and it seems GRUB info can be found in /boot/grub/grub.conf and
/boot/grub/menu.lst (<--that's an "L" = menu.LST)

also perhaps booting to Knoppix (or similar) LiveCD, you can access
this info (you sure can't from XP, unless the partition/s are FAT32) -
perhaps the command from a console can be useful that others here can
use to help diagnose the situation as well.

hdparm -l
or
hdparm -i

or some combination thereof (from a Knoppix boot, you may need to
prefix the above with 'sudo' when using the konsole (in KDE)

sudo hdparm -i

....also info can be found using the cat command;

# cat /proc/devices

....i snipped info this below from a thread in a NGs search;

show io port address cat /proc/ioports
show pci info cat /proc/pci
show block devices cat /proc/devices
show dma por cat /proc/dma
show eth0 bytes cat /proc/net/dev
show file system support cat /proc/filesystems
show interrupts cat /proc/interrupts
show ip forwarding (1) cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

There are other ways, and the GRUB info should be priority I
guess...Others will show up and clarify hopefully - (*hint* - being
lazy is not going to get you much help ;-)). Just trying to help

I need to move my Live-CD to HDD manually, because my Live-CD have no installer.

hi;
you are very welcome -- but please note, I just became aware, I think I
may have given some faulty(?) information. I just tried my [copy ISO to
HDD and use bootfrom=/dev/hda?] cheatcode and i ran into some issues,
as the boot up process reported an error message (similar to);

unable to mount /cdrom2.loop/sda1

I am currently working on it at the moment though ;-).
sda1 is my DVD-ROM drive that contains the Knoppix CD (BTW -I'm using
Knoppix 3.6 CD version).

After reading the threads I posted above, which mostly concerns trying
to boot directly from an ISO stored on an NTFS partition (mine are
FAT32 at the moment), though it shouldn't really matter. Rather than
guess what I'm doing wrong, allow me to go and experiment a bit ;-). I
will then report back.

Your enthusiasm is very nice, and almost flattering...just know, I'm
also very new to linux and fumbling around in the dark (perhaps a
little less than you), but nonetheless, stumblng.

mod_ssl for apache 2.0.55 and Open SSL 0.9.7a

Ah! So mod_ssl has not been correctly installed. You maybe need to
copy it in the modules directory by hand.

At this point it looks clear that the problem is that your Apache
can't load mod_ssl correctly. I suggest you recompile it.

It does, but it and vipw may not help you with old bad entries.
 

I'm really unsure. I'd have to look at your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow's to
search for the culprit. But I'd also be prepared to "touch /etc/passwd
/etc/shadow" to make

Hmmm. You know..... for sanity checking, there are also some LDAP creation
tools in /usr/share/openldap/migration or something like that, which will
parse your local /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to create an LDAP setup. I've
actually used that to detect local lunacies.

Well, if you were building your own kernel and adding device drivers I
doubt you would be asking, so yes, if it doesn't work out of the box it
probably won't work. I'm totally unfamiliar with the modem, so I can't
guess what driver it uses, but if the driver will talk to it I would
expect modem software to do as well.

Well I don't have any choice with controllers. Budget is closed. But I
fully confirm what you wrote about Adaptec and Promise.

So I try 64bits :). Thank you !
