Re: [CentOS] noexec tmp directory
Hi, On Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 2:09 PM, Bob Hoffman wrote: Hello, I am fixing up a system for someone and they did not make a separate partition for /tmp...but I want to make it noexec, nosuid. I came across a site that said I could skip all the mount/unmount and new partition stuff (which would probably include downsizing a lvm to make room for it)... by adding this in fstab /tmp /tmp bind nosuid,noexec,bind 0 0 and then reboot... There is no /tmp in their fstab at the moment and I am afraid to test this Is this a correct workaround to mount that folder as noexec? OR was this site wrong? That should work. But maybe it’s better to create a test machine/VM and try it there. Or, don’t edit your fstab (yet). Just do it live and see if it worked: # mount --bind /tmp /tmp # mount -o remount,nosuid,noexec /tmp That way, you know it’ll be back to the old settings when you reboot.

[CentOS] Worrying after IPv6 day...
Hi, after IPv6 day, I was wondering if our server were really secure... And, I know we should switch on IPv6 everywhere but... it will take some time. Usually, we disable(d) IPv6; so we are not running ip6tables. Can I start ip6tables in all cases (even if only IPv4) just to be on the safe side? On CentOS 6 servers, I use the --noipv6 in the kickstart files and I removed NetworkManager; but ifconfig still shows IPv6 adresses. And I wonder from where it gets them... based on the MAC? I guess they are not routable, so I should not get any traffic... right? Thx, JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thx, JD Your best bet with regard to protecting yourself from passing IPv6 tunnelled traffic is to make sure you're blocking protocol 41. This will prevent rogue IPv6 tunnels forming across your IPv4 network. You don't need ip6tables to do this. If your other managed endpoints are not running IPv6 and you're blocking protocol 41 (note this is not port 41, but _protocol_ 41) then you should mitigate most of the IPv6 issues. I would normally assume that your demarc points have a default policy to drop unknown / unspecified traffic. -- Regards, Giles Coochey, CCNA, CCNAS NetSecSpec Ltd +44 (0) 7983 877438 http://www.coochey.net http://www.netsecspec.co.uk gi...@coochey.net ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] (?) Dual-monitor wallpapers on CEntOS 6

[CentOS] some security measures I would like to share
I apologize for the html, but it is a copy from a web post I did. I wanted to share this with list members and hope it helps others. I tried not to be redundant and add things I have not seen posted before. Always interested in constructive thoughts, better ideas, etc. ** *Security thoughts for server admins/webmasters* I would like to add some security measures I like to use. These are not listed on security sites and I feel it is time someone posted this stuff. This concerns programs/items used by webmasters/server admins on a very irregular basis. (not very often). This list assumes you have an IPMI card with its own eth port or an onboard IPMI interface, both having video access. Or accessing the shell of a virtual host to access virtual servers located on it. (if no IPMI) Quote: *PHPMYADMIN* - This is a wonderful tool for use by web programmers. Most security with this program lists just two protections. a)Use htaccess to password protect, force SSL b)Alias the folder from /phpmyadmin to something like /examp This is where security measures, aside from keeping updated, seem to end. This is bad. There is more you can do to protect that access to your database. PhpMyAdmin is a program you will use at times, but 99% of the time you will never touch it at all. So why would you leave it open to hackers all the time? Simply disable the 'alias' in httpd to prevent it from being accessed. For example in CentOS 6 the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf contains this directory information. (or something like it.) I have added 'Deny from ALL and commented out 'Allow from ALL' and restarted httpd. (the allowoverride is allowing htaccess protection for the folder). You could comment out everything except the allowoverride and deny from all... Quote: Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/ *Order Deny,Allow* Deny from All Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from ::1 *#Allow from All* allowoverride All /Directory Once httpd is restarted no one can access the phpmyadmin folder if it is not in the html folder. (in centos 6 the program is usually located in /usr/share/phpmyadmin). This prevents the hacking of your phpmyadmin program. If you think about it, outside of a small fix or initial programming you will almost never use the program. So why do you leave it open to everyone 24 hours a day? Quote: *IPMI* IPMI is great but if you are a webmaster you are probably leaving this open to the internet. If you are local to the datacenter, or the datacenter is really cool, you can remove the eth cable from the ipmi port. And ask them to plug it in when there is an issue. This only works if you have a separate ipmi card with its own eth port. (and helps if you tag the cable and port for the center) I think most of us seldom, if ever, use our IPMI during the course of a year once the system is set up. This prevents root access, IPMI card getting hacked, and still allows emergency access with a quick visit or a phone call *IPMI, Virtual Host, Virtual Machines* Quote: *Your Virtual Host server* I seldom ever need to go into my virtual host. It is set up correctly and I get my logwatches every day. I have no ports open up on it. If I never use it, why would I leave a shell port open 24 hours a day? If I have an IPMI card I can log in and open that port. Then I can do what I need to do. Safest, if IPMI is available (with video) is to comment out/disable the ssh port. On a virtual host you most likely use a physical bridge. This means nothing is touching the host. Great Security tip. Quote: *Virtual Machines- DNS* Are your DNS servers virtual machines on a server (or on a dedicated with an IPMI card in it)? I bet you never access shell except to make that very rare dns change. And if you use rndc you never use shell. If you have IPMI with video disable ssh port. Enable it via IPMI on those very rare instances you need to access it. Logwatch can still send out. Only port 53 should be open 24 hours a day (and if rndc that port too...and 5353 if you are doing that.) There is no reason to leave this system open to the net at all. Enable shell when you need it and then disable when done. You do not need to open port 25 (or any port) to send emails out of the system. So why do you leave port 22 (or other shell port) on 24 hours a day if you never ever use it? Quote: *MYSQL servers* Again, if on a virtual host or even its own dedicated disable port 22 (ssh port) and only enable via IPMI on those rare times you need to use it. Quote: *Your website/webserver* The same issue remains. Outside of the times you are using shell OR FTP...these ports should be disabled. Enable using IPMI. This simple act prevents a lot of hack attempts, log filling, and gives massive peace of mind. Yes, you use shell and ftpbut not that much. Think about it. You might use ftp and shell a lot, but you are leaving those ports open

Re: [CentOS] (?) Dual-monitor wallpapers on CEntOS 6
A bit more Googling found the answer: it is a regression caused by a fix in Gnome to fix a reported problem where some individuals found it too difficult to create dual-monitor wallpapers. Apparently there are some patches available to the control-center package that will add a spanning option to the desktop background control, but Red Hat NAKed the change for 6.1. Apparently this is available in Fedora 12, but the option is missing in RHEL 6. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616701 for the response. I may try to rebuild the control-center RPM with the patches when I get some time.
