Thanks to all those that help me. I order the oss from 4front and my sound works fine now. Also just wanted to find out if
anyone in this group has any knowledge on Lindows. It suppose to be coming out some time this year. I understand it can run windows program.

Did anyone else detect an attempted hack from 202.185.243.121 Saturday
night / Sunday morning? I'm wondering if this is a generalized probe or
if it's a targeted attack?
I'll include some log files below. I traced it back to jaring.my in
Malaysia where the trail went cold. They were on another system back on
March 5 but I don't have the log files necessary to trace their
activity.
I reported the attack to abouse at jaring.my and the nccs-sf at fbi.gov
Pertinent log entries:

I don't seem to find it any of my logs. So no over here. But I am on a
pretty quiet little part of the 'net, not a heck of a lot of people come
knocking around here (208.203.138.*)

Are you running as root? That would be the first thing you'd need to
do. Other than that, it implies that some other RPM command is running
(RedCarpet, up2date, krud2date, etc.)

Are you logged in as root? You need to do that, at least.
Make sure you don't have another instance of rpm running, too.

This is where the /etc/modules.conf comes in handy. You will find the
kernel likes modules named after the actual driver, e.g., if it wants
one "sound-slot-0", then it expects this to be the name of the module.
You can instead assign a module alias (a special alias is "off" to tell
it not to bother). So if your module name that fills this service
requirement is "foo":
alias sound-slot-0 foo
So you need to know the name of the sound module. You might wish to find
out the exact file name of the kernel module you built to support sound,
and then name it in modules.conf (replace "foo" with your module name,
less any ".o" extension), then run "depmod -a" or "insmod modulename".

I have noticed that this construction is being used more and more. In
general, I think it leads to weaker paragraph structure. But I'm no
linguist.
Yes, I did that on purpose.

Subject: Re: [lug] Serial Line Direct Connection
Reply-To: lug at lug.boulder.co.us
I have had an old (1997 or so) laptop running PPP over serial at around 10
KB/s, and I think it was more like 30 KB/s using PLIP. I loaded Debian
over PLIP using a special PLIP installer. I don't recommend it unless
there's no other choice. It will probably take a little (or a lot) time
to get working. I have been much happier since I bought an SMC PCMCIA
ethernet card for $80 or so.
By the way, I had no problem running RS232 100 ft at full port speed (115
kb/s?), despite everyone saying that can't be done. I was running it over
cat5 cable, using only 3 wires.
These are the notes I wrote to myself about setting up PLIP, but I seem to
have misplaced the serial port notes:
Connecting to a laptop via parallel port:
parallel port stuff must be compiled in the kernel as modules
plip driver must be in the kernel as a module
BIOS must set up parallel port
echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
... if the parallel port irq is 7
modprobe plip
add laptop IP to /etc/hosts
/etc/hosts.allow should have lines:
portmap: 192.168.1.1
... replace with your IP, but IP MUST be a number!
set /etc/exports to the directory you want. Also, be sure
and use the no_root_squash and no_subtree_check options.
make sure NFS is running:
rpcinfo -p
Bring up plip interace:
ifconfig plip0 robust pointopoint laptop netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Turn on IP forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Starting ipchains for masquerading on the host (unsecure way)
ipchains -P forward MASQ

I get stuff like this all day long (every few hours). I don't have time
to deal with it anymore. Luckily, since I switched from Redhat to Debian,
it is easier to keep up with security updates and I don't get hacked out
of the box anymore.
