To make sure your box stays busy you could as well build each -rc

I think its the former! Do you or anyone have a suggestions on how to get rid of the rest of blob and fix the glx symbolic links?

4.4.36 works here as well using the generic config and nVidia 340.98.

Bind options required for Samba AD

Samba AD with Bind as a DNS server requires two options compiled in Bind:
Code:
--with-gssapi=yes
--with-dlopen
Source : https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Set...IND_DNS_Server

Official Slackware Bind package don't have above options.
Maybe it's not bad idea to add these two options to official Bind package?

PS. Is it still right thread to post new requests?

AFAIK Slackware doesn't contain a Kerberos implementation, so you cannot build bind using the configure option "--with-gssapi=yes".

Thanks that helped! I deleted the libraries manually in those locations. I searched for nvidia and the first part of the driver number to find the rest. Then I removed and installed the relevant files back since I deleted the opengl files. I still had nouveau disabled in modprobe. Everything works as it should now

Localized man pages for pkgtools and slackpkg, man-db vs man

All localized man pages are still available here:
http://slint.fr/forSlackware/man_l10n/

Today's update includes added and updated man pages in:
  • Japanese, thanks to Keiichi Shiga,
  • Serbian, thanks Bojan Popovic and Miloš Topličić. The man pages in Serbian should have been provided long ago, sorry for the delay.
  • Swedish, thanks to Ingemar Karlsson,
Please note that man-1.6 shipped in Slackware does not handle very well ideographs (failing to properly cut or justify lines, for instance). For this reason I suggest to replace it in Slackware by man-db, as we did in Slint for a better display of man pages in Japanese[1].

You can see an example of display in an xfce4-terminal of "man installpkg" in Japanese using the man binary shipped in man-db. The result is way better.

A SlackBuild for man-db is available @ http://slackbuilds.org, thanks to B. Watson. It installs by default man-db binaries and man pages in /opt/man-db to allow a coexistence with man-1.6. I chose to replace the latter by the former in Slint, thus installing in /usr instead.

Also, a Linux console is unable to display CJK languages as it can handle at most 512 glyphs per font, but one can install fbterm (also available from http://slackbuilds.org) to overcome this limitation.

[1]This is also the case for most of the man pages in Japanese already shipped in Slackware.

Hi,

FYI, there's CVE-2016-8655 in recent kernels.
(Sorry if it's been mentioned already).

It was just "fixed" on 2 December 2016, in a kernel update:

This patch was included in last Sunday's 4.9-rc8 kernel as the
"packet: fix race condition in packet_set_ring" patch by Philip Pettersson.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/4/142

https://www.kernel.org/

I run the 4.9 release candidate kernels on my desktop with no problems.

But it is a good idea to have an older kernel installed too just in case there are problems... From Lilo I can choose which kernel to boot.

A new 4.9 rc kernel usually comes out every Sunday.

I can't see any mention of this fix in the upcoming stable releases currently in review (expected later this week). So sadly, it looks like 'stable' kernel users will remain vulnerable until 4.8.14/4.4.38 at the earliest (unless Greg adds it in at the last minute).

FWIW, the commit Cwiz' linked to does appear to be fairly self-contained and applies cleanly to 4.8.12, so manual patching looks like a possibility if Greg doesn't include this fix, though I'd much prefer not to have to do that sort of thing as you never know whether it's going to break something.

Does this apply to default Slackware?

In order to exploit this issue the attacker needs CAP_NET_RAW capability, which needs to be granted by the administrator to the attacker's account.
