sendmail authentication

2004-02-27 Thread Mozzi
Hi all

I need to let sendmail authenticate from a different passwd file, let me 
explain.
Sendmail currently authenticates from /etc/passwd I would like it to use 
/etc/mailpass as step one and then to authenticate from berkleydb later on 
when I have verified that evereything works.
Qpopper also needs to be moved to alternative authentication.

Tnx


Mozzi

Protect Folder in Proftpd

2004-02-27 Thread Daniel Kradolfer

Hi!

I'm trying to protect the directory ~/wwwroot from being changed or
deleted.
But the user must be able to do everything (Create,Update,Delete..) in this
directory. Has anybody some hints to do this configuration?

We use ProFTPD Version 1.2.5rc1

Thanks

kradi

RE: sendmail authentication

2004-02-27 Thread Christian Storch
The follwowing was tested in stable and unstable with sendmail:
For plain text (in an internal sense not - what you would see
over the network!) you'll need the package

libsasl-modules-plain

Then append

ESASL_PATH=/usr/lib/sasl

to 'sendmail.mc'. Create '/usr/lib/sasl/Sendmail.conf'
and put in the line

pwcheck_method: PAM

Then you could decide by '/etc/pam.d/smtp' how to
authenticate. E.g. with 'pam_userdb.so'.
There you could use Berkeley DB Version 3.
I hope this helps!

Christian

That is the best advice I've seen yet in the entire thread.  Buy-in 
from EVERYONE in the organization about the rules is more important 
and difficult than the application software used to get there.  (If you 
see a customer abusing bandwidth, what's your boss going to let you DO 
about it?  If you unplug your highest-profile customer's connection due 
to a DDoS attack that's affecting the whole network, will your boss 
back up that decision?  Things like this or a formal process set up 
specifically to come to a conclusion/decision/consensus QUICKLY are 
very important to have ahead of time.)

  to be run automagically.
 
  this makes it impossible to experiment by temporarily commenting out
  particular lines - you have to delete a file, and then hope you can
  remember what it was called if you need to re-enable that feature.
 
 I deseagree on that. I've found qmail's config file a lot more efficient than
 one stupid unic file,

fine.  you have every right to be wrong.




 Can someone write here an easy understandable configuration for
 Postfix with virtual domains ? After some call for help here, none of
 you that know Posfix did it...

sorry, but it's not our problem if YOU can't understand clear and simple
instructions or concepts.

virtual domains are a well-documented part of postfix, and have been for years.


  5. bernstein likes to reinvent the wheel.  he does this (and does it badly)
  without regard to whether the wheel actually needs to be reinvented or not
  (e.g. ucspi-tcp).
 
  this is compounded by the fact that it is a complete PITA to use any of his
  programs without using all of his programs.
 
 I deseagree a lot on that also. Bernstein has coded ucspi-tcp as a
 replacement for the standard tcp program. 

the program you are thinking of is called inetd (or xinetd - another version
with resource limitation controls built in).

 He has the rights to do so, and you have the rights not to use it if you like
 inetd...

of course he has the right to do so.  that is beyond question.

it was just unneccesary and stupid of him to do so.

more to the point, if he's going to reinvent the wheel he should at least try
to do a good job - a square wheel isn't any use to anyone.



 that focus on staying on unix style,

you couldn't be more wrong on this point.

his programs implement BERNSTEIN-style, not traditional unix style.  his
programs are about as different from unix style as it's possible for software
to be and still run on unix systems.
