Hi,
Linux 2.2.25-ow1 is out and a part of Owl-current. The download URL
for -ow patches is:
http://www.openwall.com/linux/
Linux 2.2.25 fixes the kmod/ptrace race condition vulnerability
discovered by Andrzej Szombierski. The vulnerability could result in
a local root compromise if the kernel is built with support for
auto-loading modules (CONFIG_KMOD) and the path to a module loader
program is specified in /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. It is recommended
that you not enable or use kmod, for both security and reliability
reasons. The kernels used on Owl CDs have never been built with
support for kmod. Owl startup scripts, unlike those used on some
other distributions, don't setup a path to modprobe with the kernel.
Linux 2.2.24+ also corrects "Etherleak" issues with a number of
Ethernet drivers (a common class of vulnerabilities publicized by Ofir
Arkin and Josh Anderson of @stake) and a local DoS vulnerability with
mmap(2) of /proc/<pid>/mem files discovered by Michal Zalewski of
Bindview.
Finally, Linux 2.2.25-ow1 patch makes the added RLIMIT_NPROC
enforcement also work for 32-bit syscalls on sparc64 (thanks to Brad
Spengler for noticing that this was missing).
For those who are wondering about 2.4.x, I am going to put out a new
version of the patch when 2.4.21 comes out. Meanwhile, if you must
use 2.4.x for whatever reason, make sure you aren't using kmod.

The entire Owl userland is maintained in a somewhat similar way:
http://www.openwall.com/presentations/Owl/mgp00009.html
As for a system for add-on functionality, we don't maintain one yet.
You may add stuff into the two source trees and build it in the same
way as the official Owl userland, or you may build additional RPM
packages independently from the rest of Owl (see rpminit(1) on Owl
for an easy way to setup building RPM packages under an arbitrary
non-root account).
We might add an official collection of Owl add-ons, -- for stuff which
doesn't qualify for the main Owl for whatever reason. We might then
extend our build environment to allow for handling of such add-ons
separately from our core packages.

Dear colleagues !
When you planed use 2.4.x kernel in next release ?
The kernel 2.2 - good, but Kernel 2.4 need rice for more reasons :
Database/Firewall + Iptables/TCP/IP stack with extension's.
I think that be necessary recompile all packages ;-(
Thanks.

Most likely not in the next release of Owl, although that depends on
when we actually make it and the state of 2.4.x kernels by that time.
Currently, I am unsatisfied with 2.4.x. I'd complain that 2.4.21
isn't coming out for months when there're publicly-known security
holes in 2.4.20, but some final fixes are simply not yet available,
not even in 2.4.21-pre's. :-(
Yet there's nothing which stops you from using Linux 2.4.x with Owl
already now, or with the 1.0 release.

I have no idea of what you mean by "Database/Firewall".

To use Linux 2.4.x with current Owl? No. You just do, and it works.

Although I wouldn't mind seeing the 2.4 kernel become the default,
I've learned to really like the slow/steady/safe development pace
taken by Owl. Heck, even current is extremely stable in my
experience. I _really_ like that security comes before features.

I do think 2.4 has some nice firewalling/networking features that 2.2
lacks, but I can live with 2.2 for awhile if it means Owl continues to
stay as stable and reliable as it has been.

It's nice to know that.

It is, but I don't view this as an obviously good thing. When we
released 1.0, the plan was to start more aggressive development in
current and maintain a 1.0-stable for the security fixes.
In reality, we simply didn't have enough time to start doing all that
was planned for post-1.0 Owl right away, so current continued to
evolve at about the same pace that it had shortly before 1.0. And it
became in all ways better than 1.0, -- including being even more
stable (well, we break things in our private cvs for a few days once
in a while, but I simply delay anoncvs/ftp updates in those cases).
So the new plan is to continue with safe changes only for a while
longer, make a 1.1 release, and only then hopefully do the major
updates that were originally planned for shortly after 1.0. (I am
talking primarily of the gcc and glibc updates.)
To do these heavy changes now, without making another release first,
would be counter-productive because fewer people would then be able to
benefit from the stability improvements achieved in current so far.

To me, the primary reasons for Owl to move to 2.4.x aren't the more
extensive firewalling features, but rather availability of drivers
for newer hardware (most importantly disk controllers) and improved
kernel interfaces which allow to do neat things such as Olaf Kirch's
non-SUID/SGID traceroute that behaves more like the traditional one.
Thank you for your feedback, -- it really helps.

That's a very good point. I've stayed with the 3ware IDE RAID
controllers for all of my Owl machines (which is well supported in
2.2.x). So, I haven't ran into driver issues yet.

I did not realize that. Indeed that would be a nice benefit. Is it
possible in 2.2.x to have ping and traceroute use capabilities and
drop all other root privs shortly after startup?

You're welcome. Thanks for Owl!

They do already, -- before even parsing command line options. And
this doesn't require capabilities, only a raw socket fd is kept.
But the real danger here isn't with ping and traceroute themselves,
but rather with generic SUID/SGID program startup code: in libc, in
the dynamic linker, and even in the kernel itself. While the kernel
is highly privileged either way, there may still be logic errors in it
where the executing program's new effective credentials would be
leaked or misused. We've seen several kernel vulnerabilities of this
nature in the past.

Good point. Doesn't matter how secure the app is written if the host
is compromised before the app itself actually launches. Using a
static binary should eliminate the linker problem, but you're still left
with bugs in libc and the kernel.

I haven't been generating current ISOs for a long time now. You're
right in that it's time to generate one, or to make another release.
If the release will be getting delayed much further, I will probably
put out a new current-based ISO image.
But I don't see this as a major problem. It's trivial to update to
current right upon installing 1.0 off a CD.
> 2. A you planed include RBAC in Owl ?
I'll assume you mean RSBAC. The short answer is: yes, but not soon.
In my opinion, it makes little sense to integrate RSBAC when there's
still so much room for improvement within the traditional Linux
kernel's abilities.
But I know that some people are currently using Owl with RSBAC. We
even included a patch in our "dialog" package needed specifically for
rsbac-admin.

Hi,
The latest Owl-current snapshot makes tcb the default password
shadowing scheme. This affects both new installs and updating
existing ones: automatic conversion from /etc/shadow is attempted when
updating with "make installworld".
This automatic conversion won't be performed if /etc/nsswitch.conf is
locally-modified (as it will be if you unconvert a system from tcb).
However, as a number of configuration files now default to tcb,
maintaining and keeping updated a system with /etc/shadow is a little
more work than it used to be, -- for the sake of making it trivial to
stay with tcb. I expect that 99% of Owl installs will use tcb.
The packages which have been touched for this change are listed in the
entry in CHANGES-current.
Please test and report any problems this might cause you before we
make it part of a release.

Neither. It's a piece of work on Owl that is waiting for a volunteer
to be completed. This has been once discussed on owl-devel and Pedro
Inacio wanted to do it, but I don't think he ever did.
This work involves certain updates to the owl-cdrom package and more.
It is possible that I will just do it myself eventually, but so far I
have too many higher priority things to do and those I definitely can't
delegate to someone else. So I leave this one for others.

Yes. I'm having some success using a Suse CDROM, installing a base system
on what will be /home and chrooting my way thru a make installworld. It's
working so far, even if my little SS10 is *still* building a kernel...
Thanks for the info. If I find an easier way to do it I'll be sure to let
people know. I'm not confident I could invent a magic installer, which
would be the best solution ;-)
One day I'll stop looking for boxes to Owl'ise round here......

I just deleted by accident very large number of non root file on my server.
And that's happen after I run this command:
# cd /var/spool/mailfilter/tmp
# stmpclean ./
Looks like stmpclean interpreted "./" as "/".
A lost all of non root file on /var and /home. This trashing stop on /proc/,
on /var/log/messages I find this:
.... stmpclean[16747]: RACE?: isemptydir(): opendir("fd") in /proc/13703:
Permission denied, exiting
May be someone familiar with smtpclean can explain this problem?
TIA

Hi,
This is Bcc'ed to the author of stmpclean.
I've confirmed the problem. Unfortunately.
stmpclean simply expects to see absolute pathnames on its command
line, such as /tmp. When it receives a relative one instead, it
interprets it relative to the root directory, not the current one.
A rather unfortunate behavior.
We'll think if we can quickly enough come up with a fix better than
refusing to work with non-absolute pathnames. (stmpclean cd's to /
before starting the work not without a reason.)

Ihsan,
While stmpclean is not supposed to be used to clean up directories
other than publicly writable temporary stores (/tmp, /var/tmp, and
such), there's no excuse for what it did to your filesystem. There's
no way you could have foreseen such drastic action as interpreting
`./' as `/' and then going around your whole system looking for things
to delete. This was an unforseen consequence of an action that seemed
to make sense; I simply haven't considered the case of relative
pathnames---obviously. I am sorry about this.
All,
I will make modifications that should prevent such harmless usage
mistake from becoming a disaster again. There doesn't appear to be
any significant drawback to not allowing relative pathnames, so I'll
check for `/' as the first character of the directory name as given on
the command line. I'm also considering checking permissions and
making sure it's 1777 and refusing to run otherwise to minimize the
chances of people using the utility in unintended ways. (In a
non-publicly-writable directory, `find | xargs rm' is safe.)
Opinions about the permissions check?

Currently, the chdir("/") is also done to ensure logging uses absolute
pathnames. This means that you will need to do realpath(3) or an
equivalent on any relative pathnames for logging, right?

This may be a good idea, but it will break valid uses, including even
the default use on Owl:

This really needs to be stmpclean (or another race-safe program)
because the /var/catman tree is writable by group "man". It shouldn't
be possible to mount additional attacks having obtained that level of
access.
> (In a non-publicly-writable directory, `find | xargs rm' is safe.)
Not necessarily. A directory tree may contain directories writable by
non-root users or by groups. Alternatively, it may not contain
writable directories, but its contents may still be untrusted and the
above "find" command will produce unintended behavior on certain
special characters in filenames (it may be solved with "find -print0",
"xargs -0", and "rm --").
Our version of find has the "-delete" option, which allows for its
safe use in cases like these. But stmpclean may be better suited for
cleaning directories from old files.
> Opinions about the permissions check?
Maybe make it the default, but allow for a way to bypass it or
explicitly specify alternate permissions (and owner/group?) to check
for. But is it worth the hassle?

Right. So I wanted to avoid that rathole by requiring absolute
pathnames on the command line (realpath() should work fine on Linux,
but, being a nonstandard---even if widely available function---might
not be there on other systems; besides the CAVEATS section of its man
page on FreeBSD mentions that Solaris realpath() `will, under certain
circumstances, return a relative resolved_path when given a relative
pathname').
The current behavior of silently treating relative paths as relative
to `/' clearly violates the Principle Of Least Astonishment. It
should not be violated by bailing on relative pathnames and should not
inconvenience users too much.

OK, you convinced me that it might not be a good idea after all.
Clearing man catfiles (and, I now notice, teTeX METAFONT-generated pk
fonts) requires stmpclean-like functionality, so it makes sense to
make sure stmpclean can do that job.
How about I check for `/' as the first char of the pathname from the
command line and refuse to run if it's not there?

That's what I was going to do for a quick fix. If you do it in an
official stmpclean release in a few days, then I'll just import that.
Thank you!

Hi
Is there any way to install Owl with ppp/pppoe out of the box, i.e.
without installing it manually after having installed Owl?
I didn't find a ppp-package, so it seems not to be possible.
Will this package maybe added in the future?
BTW: When will postfix be updated to 2.0 or at least 1.1? This 1999
build is really old now :) Especially the proxymap in 2.0 is very
useful for chroot-setup.

pppoe -- probably not, although you're not the first one asking.
Meanwhile, the ppp package found in Red Hat Rawhide builds on Owl
without a single problem (rpminit; rpm --rebuild ppp-*.src.rpm).

Well, the patchlevel and back-ports we're using are newer than that,
but you're right in that it's high time to get it updated.

We're working on an update to 2.0.x. Yes, the new package will use
proxymap.
As for a time estimate, I don't know. This depends on a volunteer
who's doing it in his spare time. But it's on my list of things which
need to be done before Owl 1.1 and I wouldn't want to delay that for
too long.

I'd be really happy if Owl was capable of DSL/Modem-connections out of
the box.

I'll look into that, thanks.

OK, that's fine.

I'm working on this. I promised to package postfix for Owl quite
some time ago. It is a shame for me it is still not done.

It should and will be done.
But it's not related to the Postfix DoS that Michal has discovered
recently (and gave us advance notification). The reason I chose to
not fix that for Owl urgently is that our Postfix is based off a
version that is old enough to not be affected in the default
configuration.

Hi,
I have a passive ISDN/USB modem that requires: "ST5481 USB ISDN modem
(EXPERIMENTAL)" feature to be enabled in a kernel configuration. This
feature is available in kernels 2.4.x and is NOT available in kernels 2.2.x.
According to your advice, I would prefer to run my Owl-ISDN_access_router on
2.2.x kernel (I can use ready ipchains scripts from init.d instead of
configuring my own iptables scripts, etc.).
Is there a way to link "ST5481 USB ISDN modem (EXPERIMENTAL)" code to kernel
2.2.x?
Where shall I look for a description of it?
With best regards,
voit

While, yes, 2.2.x may be preferred, staying with 2.2.x is not
necessarily worth it at this time and in your case. If the driver was
in 2.2.x, that's what you would install. But as the driver is not
there, it's easiest for you to go with 2.4.x which Owl supports as
well and ensure you keep it up to date (the latest 2.4.x-ow patch).
If you pick Linux 2.4.x, you absolutely need to use 2.4.21-ow2
currently. (For 2.2.x, as old as 2.2.22 which was released last year
is still reasonable to keep on some existing installs. You can't do
that for 2.4.x, too many 2.4.x-specific critical security holes have
been fixed since then.)
As for using ipchains, they work (somewhat) with netfilter in 2.4.x if
you build the kernel with that feature.
We do plan to package iptables and make 2.4.x kernels the default
(while leaving support for 2.2.x as well) for Owl 1.1. Then drop
support for Linux 2.2.x in post-1.1 Owl-current (probably not very
soon, but it will happen eventually).

I'm not familiar with that driver and can't answer your question
without looking into it myself.

Solar, may be use 2.6.xx for OWL Release 1.1 ? The Kernel 2.4.x have more

s/OWL/Owl/ please. ;-)
No, I don't see a valid reason to do so unless the release gets
delayed by at least a year. ;-)

I don't understand what is so bad about those copyright notices and
what you're trying to say by it.

All,
I just installed Owl (current) an have a few questions. Where can I find
an errata for bugs/security issues? On this note I do see a "Change Log"
section that does have some Security fixes noted. It does note various
levels of the security fixes listed such as "none", "medium" etc. Are
these levels of the security fix defined somewhere? Also, I see a few
mailing lists mentioned on the web page, is there an archive of these
somewhere I can browse/search through? Any other advice for getting
started with Owl?
Thanks,
Justin

I still don't get it. There's no mention of SCO in the copyright
notices you've quoted and I have no problem with SCO (Caldera) or
anyone else owning copyright on a part of Linux kernel as long as
they've already released that part under GNU GPL.
I feel that you're missing something.

I've been meaning to document those vulnerability severity ratings,
but so far there're only some past owl-users postings which should
give you an idea:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=owl-users&m=102483083112416
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=owl-users&m=103500145412728

Actually, there's only one mailing list mentioned on the web page and
it's owl-users. The other e-mail addresses mentioned are not mailing
lists. You may browse owl-users archive on MARC:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=owl-users
We do have more mailing lists, but those are internal to the project.

It depends on what else you're looking for.

hi list,
i have searched in archives but i have found no answer.
i'm tryng to use Owl as primaty os because i like a lot this distro, but i
need also a graphical context.
my optimus should be a kde 3.1 (with liquid style) and X 4.3..
but i'm opened to every solution.
in the condition of Owl 1.0 which are rpm, libraries or source i need
and what are the known problems with that (mainly at securiyt level)
or at graphical ie: with slk 9.0 and X 4.3 fonts look very bad nor with X 4.2.
tnx, a new but willing user.

Hi,
While building a new machine, I ran into troubles getting the above
packages to compile. They are being compiled against a 2.4.22 kernel
source tree. I thought the BUILD doc used to say that a 2.2 kernel
tree was required to build user land, but the latest BUILD doc says a
2.2 or 2.4 kernel will work. Is a 2.2 kernel tree still required to
build user land?
Both packages are returning the same error messages. I've included
the relevant parts of the iproute2 build log below:
+ make KERNEL_INCLUDE=/usr/include 'CCOPTS=-pipe -march=i386 -
mcpu=i686 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -Wall

These are the only two packages that failed (besides the arch

Any help would be appreciated.

No, either 2.2.x or 2.4.x should do. (But the produced binaries are
slightly different. In particular, you only get Large File Support if
you build against 2.4.x.)

Something broke between 2.4.21 and 2.4.22. I can reproduce this now,
and will deal with it.
Meanwhile, you can try with 2.4.21-ow2.

While Owl is intended for servers and we have no intent to ever
include X in the base system, yes, you can also use it on a desktop if
you like. I do.
There're several approaches:
1. Use binary packages from Red Hat Linux 6.2 updates, or from a RHL
6.x clone. This is probably the easiest. There're just two caveats
that I remember: their X server package relies on pam_console, which
we chose to not package, and xlock will need special permissions to
work on Owl.
The first is solved by replacing the pam_console line in
/etc/pam.d/xserver with:
auth required /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow onerr=fail file=/etc/xserver.allow
Then you list the users which need to run X in /etc/xserver.allow.
The second is solved by making /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock SGID to group
chkpwd, like this:
-rwx--s--x 1 root chkpwd 751328 Mar 30 2001 /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock
I've tested this setup with WindowMaker as the window manager. I
don't use or like KDE, sorry.
The obvious drawback of this approach is that the versions of XFree86
and other software you may install in this way are rather old. Some
may also contain known vulnerabilities (you'd get less if you bother
to check RHL 6.2 updates).
2. Try and build newer packages, such as from Red Hat Rawhide. Some
will likely require minor tweaking of RPM .spec files, so be prepared.
I haven't tried this for XFree86 itself, but I built things such as
Mozilla on Owl in this way.
3. Build everything from source, without the use of packages, and
install under /usr/local. I know people have been doing that:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=owl-users&m=100713368207829
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=owl-users&m=100887044600874
Some generic advices on using X reasonably safely:
It's a good idea to create group xusers and restrict access to either
the X server binary or to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper (make it mode 4710,
root.xusers).
Make sure you either filter the X server ports (6000/tcp and a few
above it in case you ever run a second, third, etc. instance of X
server), or tell it to not listen for TCP connections (start it as
"startx -- -nolisten tcp"). Note that if you use SSH X11 forwarding,
the SSH client will need to be permitted to connect to your X server
via TCP locally.
In order to use xlock meaningfully, you may start X by adding these
lines to your /etc/profile.d/local.sh (create one):
if [ "`tty`" = "/dev/tty1" -a -n "`fgrep -x "$USER" /etc/xserver.allow`" ]; then
exec startx -- -nolisten tcp
fi

the pump package?

I've built Mozilla Firebird for Owl, as the default one you
can download from mozilla.org complains the Glibc is too old.

There is no pump package in Owl, but you can use dhclient from the dhcp
package (native/Owl/packages/dhcp).
Set BUILD_DHCP_CLIENT to 1 in dhcp.spec, recompile and install
dhcp-client. Note: The client runs currently as user root without privilege
separation or anything else.

It wasn't the case when I built Mozilla 1.1 on Owl a year ago. You
can get the RPMs here:
ftp://ftp1.ru.openwall.com/pvt/Mozilla/
Of course, this stuff is very unofficial and unsupported.

That's a leftover from Red Hat's networking scripts. We should
replace them, it's on TODO.

There won't be one. But as Matthias has pointed out, there's the dhcp
package which by default builds as DHCP server only. You can enable
building the client as well, but you do so at your own risk. This is
because the TODO item for a DHCP client isn't completed yet:
[PRIORITY: low]
[ASSIGNED: schmidt@, solar@]
The DHCP client should be modified to run as a dedicated pseudo-user
and in a chroot jail. This requires privilege separation within the
client (not easy).

Hi,
As Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl) is approaching a new release, I have
started generating ISO images of the current branch snapshots. The
latest snapshot dated 2003/11/03 is also available with the CD orders
you may place off the web page:
http://www.openwall.com/Owl/orders.shtml
Alternatively, it may be downloaded from /pub/Owl/current/iso/ on the
FTP mirrors listed at:
http://www.openwall.com/Owl/DOWNLOAD.shtml
This is the first Owl ISO image / CD to officially use Linux 2.4.x
kernels (2.4.22-ow1 currently). Linux 2.2.x remains supported too.
On another topic, there's a new version of pam_passwdqc, the password
strength checking PAM module. pam_passwdqc 0.7.5 will now assume
invocation by root only if both the UID is 0 and the PAM service name
is "passwd"; this should fix changing expired passwords on Solaris
and HP-UX and make "enforce=users" safe. The proper English
explanations of requirements for strong passwords will now be
generated for a wider variety of possible settings. pam_passwdqc is
available at:
http://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/
Of course, this new version of pam_passwdqc is also a part of the
Owl-current snapshot above.

I use Owl with qmail as MTA, so I don't need Postfix on my system;
when I try to uninstall Postfix, rpm script quits with an error
message:
rmdir: `/var/spool/postfix/[^m]*': No such file or directory
When I create any subdirectory under /var/spool/postfix not starting
with `m', everything works fine, but IMHO this is a bug in Postfix'
preun script. Following patch (made against current CVS version of
the native tree) should fix the problem:

This will cause rpm to happily move on no matter what the error, which
isn't the intended behaviour.
'find' will fail on access violations only, which will work properly in
case rpm administration has been delegated (to wheel, for instance).
The neater fix follows.

PS.
I don't know this .spec (or even the rpm program's man page) by heart.
There might be a better / easier / neater fix available.

Thank you for reporting this. However, I cannot reproduce it here.
Those directories are normally created by the invocation of
"/usr/sbin/postfix check" from the %post script. This means that if
you've installed Postfix cleanly and didn't mess with the install, it
will also uninstall cleanly. It does here.

Actually it is.
The purpose of this rmdir is to remove directories which are empty,
but leave around those which aren't such that you don't lose your
queued e-mail messages just because you happened to (temporarily?)
uninstall Postfix.
If you install Postfix but don't use it and just uninstall, then
everything gets removed cleanly.

This is very different: find is recursive. A similar effect to the
rmdir may be achieved with find -maxdepth 1, but I don't see the need.

And with the fix, everything but the 'maildrop' directory and
any directory the user hasn't got access to will be removed.
Isn't that the general idea? (I'm trying to learn something here)

With exception of the rare times when installation halts before or
during %post due to some error or the user pressing Ctrl-C because
they don't want postfix.

It depends. In %prep, %build, and %install scripts, we don't want a
broken package to get built. In %pre, we don't want to install a
package if we can't do the preparations. However, when it comes to
%post, %preun, and especially %postun, we most often want to continue
on errors (this does not imply we ignore them: we may choose to act
differently or at least to let an error message get displayed).

This one is a part of the package and will be removed by RPM itself,
this is why we don't to remove it manually.
(Actually, the entire Postfix package will change as we update to
2.0.x and things will be done differently.)

I think I've explained it already: all directories which don't hold
queued messages are to be removed on uninstall. Those which do are
left around in case of re-install or for manual removal, -- the admin
has to make that decision explicitly and the "rmdir" will report any
such non-empty directory such that the admin will get notified.

Correct, -- and in that case a harmless error message on uninstall is
quite normal. In fact, RPM itself can complain too.

I had the same problem when I wanted to use HTB.
Problem is with "/sbin/tc". This "tc" is not supporting
( in my opinion ) the HTB. You have to download
new HTB from this url: http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/
There should be the latest archive with patches called
htb3.6-020525.tgz. Inside this archive is new "tc".
If you will change the "tc" from "/sbin/tc" to the new one
every thing should work ok.
PS. You do not have to change original kernel.
Of course the HTB should be compile in the kernel.
I did it and in my OWL it is working just fine !!!

Yes, so... tc in Owl lack of support htb3, because
Owl now support building with 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernel.
When we drop building Owl with 2.2.x kerenels - htb3 patch
will be included into iproute2 package.

Hello Michail Litvak,

Hi,
For those few who don't know yet, Openwall GNU/*/Linux (or Owl) is a
security-enhanced operating system with Linux and GNU software as its
core, intended as a server platform. More detailed information is
available on the web site:
http://www.openwall.com/Owl/
After another year of development Owl 1.1 release is finally out.
Owl 1.1 is currently available for purchase on a CD and will also be
available for download after January 7, 2004. Owl 1.1 CDs may be
ordered online with delivery worldwide via this web page:
http://www.openwall.com/Owl/orders.shtml
The major changes made since 1.0 release are documented:
http://www.openwall.com/Owl/CHANGES-1.1.shtml
CDs are bootable on x86 and include a live system, x86 binary
packages for installation to a hard disk, and full source code which
may be rebuilt with one simple command ("make buildworld"). Security
tools such as John the Ripper and Nmap are usable right off the CD,
without requiring a hard disk, -- and indeed they're also available
with Owl installs you make.

Is there any chance that Owl will include Perl in newer version than
current 5.6.0? I am running Jabber server on Owl and some transports
written in Perl require libraries working only with Perl 5.6.1 or
later. As for now I have Perl 5.8 installed from source in
/opt/perl58 and I use it only for these transports, but I'd be very
glad to have more recent version of the interpreter in the distribution.
Greets,

Of course. This is something we should do before 2.0, but it's quite
some work to do it right, -- repeating the audit of 5.8+ for unsafe
temporary file handling issues as I know our fixes didn't get in (we
did submit, but they were not quick enough to review our patches while
Perl development continued and patches became outdated).
P.S. Please post to the list with a fixed envelope-from address, or
I'd have to approve each of your postings manually.

I have a remote server currently running a SuseLinux installation on
which I have only access by a console-server to ttyS0. I also can start
a recoverymanager which create a ramdisk and provide network access.
