 No, actually what I want to do is provide a bit of security in a hostile

Oh.

 Let's say we have a user who wants to check his 
 web-based email (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) that doesn't offer SSL, and there's a 
 high possibility that the network is being monitored by Unfriendlies.

What network? The one at the user's end, or one somewhere in between?

If an attacker can't read the traffic between the user and your SSL
proxy, surely he can read the traffic between your SSL proxy and the
remote system? This has the potential of lulling the user in a false
sense of security, which is worse than the original (because users who
think their traffic is secure will be less careful than users who know
it isn't the case)

 The 
 second problem is that said user could potential desire to visit any website 
 where he would be handing over passwords, credit card numbers, etc., so 
 building a whitelist of servers, as some have suggested.

That could be a good idea, actually.

 My attempt at a 
 solution is to provide a secure https server that acts as a proxy; all 
 traffic from, say, Hotmail, would be encrypted by the server before being 
 passed on to the user, but at the user's discretion, rather than my direct 
 intervention.
 However, since my bandwidth is not unlimited, and since there's no point 
 in encrypting _everything_, I don't want everything to go through the server. 
 Several people have mentioned CGIProxy, which almost fits the bill, except 
 that sites that require JavaScript can be problematic.

If you're going to try to apply semi-AI to web pages to determine
whether something needs to come from the proxy or from the original
server, you're /always/ going to have problems.

Ofcourse you get this. Apache is run under www-data user and with this
permissions www-data user cant stat any CGI in Bob's directory. You must
put execute/access permission on directory and that is access bit (x)
for directories.

`chmod 701 /var/www/bob` and same for any directory where apache

With this setup other users can enter his directory but can't read
anything. If they try to something like `ls -l` they'll get ls: .:

  Do I understand right that you want only some pages to go through

  It's some javascript which decides for every URL what proxy server

Dear, 
please check this out immediately. 

I just aligned myself with the Global Power Team. They have developed a way to 
build a reliable income of over $9,000 per month in as little time as possible 
through a very unique and simple 3-step system that is unlike anything I have 
ever seen - and through a product that people already spend BILLIONS of dollars 
per year on. 

And get this... It's been designed so you will start F.R.E.E and be well on 
your way to this income goal before you ever spend a penny. 

This system rewards spillover like crazy to the people who are working the 
hardest - it's really the first forced matrix I have ever seen. 

And since it's F.R.E.E to start, it's spreading across the globe VERY fast. 
Someone else will have joined us by the time you finish reading this email. 

Timing is critical! I won't go into a lot of detail in this email, but you need 
to go look at this today. Right now! It will only take a few minutes to get 
positioned and activate your f.r.e.e trial so you can begin earning commissions 
immediately. 

The short audio clip on my web site will explain everything: 

http://www.5000-dollar.ws

I strongly encourage you to go signup as soon as possible. It's f.r.e.e, so 
you're risking nothing except the few minutes it will take you to check this 
out, and you'll also get a web site and a domain name to use for whatever you 
want as an added bonus. 

Email me back and let me know when you're ready to get started so I can help 
you progress though the 3 steps as quickly as I am. I REALLY don't want you to 
miss this.

What about using a transparent squid proxy?  Squid supports a tonne of

If you put squid as people's default gateway then you can transparently 
redirect all web requests through squid, if they hadn't authenticated then 
you could have an authentication box pop up or redirect them to an

Would you please be more explicit in the following

 * add a domainlist virtual_domains =  ... to conf.d/main/

that is, what is the syntax for '...' ? would that be

 /etc/mail/aliases/$domain contains local_part - local_part and 
 local_part - [EMAIL PROTECTED] mappings.
 

and 
/etc/mail/aliases/$domain would be a directory with multiple files,
symlinks, one file in tabular form?

Yes. This list holds all domains for which you want to do these aliases.

  local_part - [EMAIL PROTECTED] mappings.

 and
 /etc/mail/aliases/$domain would be a directory with multiple files,
 symlinks, one file in tabular form?

for each domain in virtual_domains you need one aliases-style file to map 
localparts (string in front of the @) from this domain to real email 
adresses.

for example, on my mail server:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/mail/aliases/black.co.at 
 postmaster: david
 abuse: david
 david: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

I also have my virtual_domain list in a file:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep 
virtual_domains /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs 
 domainlist virtual_domains = lsearch*;/etc/mail/virtual-domains
 

You also want to go through the acl/ section and add the virtual_host list to 
all domain= tests which test for local_domains.

Re: exim4 for virtual domains

2005-01-15 Thread Stephen Gran
This one time, at band camp, TR RCPG said:
 Would someone kindly post the relevant parts of an
 exim4 configuration for a machine that works as isp
 with virtual domains, and different users (with
 possible not empty intersection set of users for
 different domains)? Some directions about combined
 remote mail retrieval + web access will be
 appreciated.
 thankyouall in advance

I tend to use arrangements like the following:

First, the filesystem:
/etc/exim4/virt_domains/domainA:
  john:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  joe:   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  abuse: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  *: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  domainB:
  fred:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  abuse: joe

So, one alias file for each domain, stored somewhere.  In the example
above, all addresses in domainA get forwarded to someone at aol.com, but
[EMAIL PROTECTED] gets delivered to the local user joe, while [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ultimately gets forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then, my domainlist is just:

domainlist virt_domains = dsearch;/etc/exim4/virt_domains

Router:
virtual_aliases:
  debug_print = R: virtual_aliases for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  driver = redirect
  domains = +virtual_domains
  allow_fail
  allow_defer
  require_files = /etc/exim4/virt_domains/$domain
  data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{/etc/lfrr/exim4/virt_domains/$domain}}
  file_transport = address_file
  no_more

This works best on systems where virtual domains are mostly forwarded,
rather than delivered locally, though.  You can do the same tricks with
SQL, if you prefer faster access once things get too big for file
lookups.

If you want users delivered locally, Wouter's advice is probably very
good.  But, this is the fun and difficult part about exim - the
configuration file is not just about setting config variables that have
a predefined meaning - you get to write your own logic for an
arrangement that works for you.  It can make it more difficult (except
that there are usually snippets floating around for all the common uses),
but it is also way more flexible.

It explains how to get a working qmail (the smtp program) + vmailmgr (to 
have virtual domains) and courier-imap (an imap delivery system, but you 
can have pop3 as well of course)

It will have a link to oMail.
it might sound a little complicated to install, but then the omail 
system is easy to use, if that's what you want. It supports email quotas 
too. I let people who're not techies at all manage their own domain, so 
it tells you how easy it is to use it :)

 I agree, but the manual is so BIG!

:-)

 Thats the greatest problem: reading it all and remembering details.

I never read the entire manual; doing that makes no sense at all. What
you really want to do is to get yourself acquainted with the most
important concepts, and search the manual (hit '/' in info) when you
need to know a specific detail; and if you can't find the detail, ask
here or over on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In my view, those 'most important concepts' are routers, transports,
ACLs, and (especially) string expansion. If you read the manual's
introduction on those topics and make sure you understand the example
configuration file (/usr/share/doc/exim4/examples/example.conf.gz),
you'll know where to go from there.

 Any shorter doc that you know about it? 

I only ever used the manual and the example config file :-)

Exim4 is way too flexible to provide a generic answer to this question.
What you should have is a router that looks up whether the local address
exists in some file or database, and a transport that writes out the
file to an mbox or maildir, possibly in a directory based on the domain.
Something like:

virthost_transport:
  driver = appendfile
  file = /mail/$domain/$local_part

will create an mbox '/mail/grep.be/wouter' for mail sent to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.

Next up is the router. I'll give an example using an lsearch lookup,
because that is by far the easiest way to do this, but if you're
expecting more than a few tens of users and performance is an issue,
you'll want to replace that by another type of lookup (a cdb or ldbm
file, or perhaps something more sophisticated such as an SQL or LDAP
server). Run 'info exim4' and head for 'File and database lookups' for
more info on those.

virthost_router:
  transport = virthost_transport
  condition = ${if match\
{${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/mail/users}}}\
{$local_part}   \
{yes}{no}}

whereby /etc/mail/users is a file containing lines like:

grep.be: wouter roel leen
lists.debian.org: debian-user debian-isp

and so on.

The format you're describing is maildir which Courier happens to implement.
Other apps use maildir too.  If you're looking for something that does IMAP,
you may want to check out Cyrus.  I've used it successfully but it has its
own mailstore.  It's similar to maildir in that each message is stored in its

This is the NON-BLOCKING Maildir Format.  With Maildir you can
have realy high load on the Server without any Locking of files,
which mean, you can have incoming Messages at the same time,
a client is connected and download files.

Never I will change back to mailbox !

We've experienced some issues with courier-imapd and Mail.app,

If you don't have fam setup to automatically notify clients of new mail, 
Mail.app will poll to look for new messages.  It makes a separate IMAP 
connection for each folder [1].  So check your IMAPDAEMONS setting 
in /etc/courier/imapd (100 was recommended for 25 clients).

Another factor is the max # of authdaemons.  I'm pretty sure each IMAP 
connection generates an authentication request.  If the clients 
obsessively check for new mail, you may need to increase the number of 
authdaemons you allow courier to startup.

Mark

suexec permissions

2005-01-10 Thread nodata
Good morning,

I'm having a some permissions trouble with suexec running on Sarge.

I have a virtualhost for a user called Bob which specifies User Bob and
Group Bob in the /etc/apache/conf.d/bob.conf file.

The permissions on /var/www/bob are:
 drwx--   2 bob  bob 4096 Jan 10 10:30 cgi-bin
 drwx--  26 bob  bob 4096 Jan 10 10:30 htdocs

and the permissions on /var/www/bob/htdocs/index.html are:
 drwx--   1 bob  bob 4096 Jan 10 10:30 index.html

When I restart Apache, I get the following message in the Apache error log:
 [Mon Jan 10 10:35:00 2005] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper:
/usr/lib/apache/suexec)

But when I try to access index.html, bob's error log shows:

[Mon Jan 10 10:36:00 2005] [error] [client 10.1.1.1] (13)Permission
denied: access to /index.html failed because search permissions are
missing on a component of the path

If I switch user to bob, and run ls -la on /, /var, /var/www, /var/www/bob
I can see all of the files, so why is apache running as this user not able
to?

Hiya,
You'll probably find that all your Apache processes are running as www-data
based on the User directive in your main httpd.conf -- and they can't read
bob's files.  Only CGI scripts will be affected by the User directive in a
VirtualHost.
From: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#user
Special note: Use of this directive in VirtualHost requires a properly
configured suEXEC wrapper. When used inside a VirtualHost in this manner,
only the user that CGIs are run as is affected. Non-CGI requests are still
processed with the user specified in the main User directive.

Blair.

Therefore, if you have a user called bob, and a group called bob, make 
the files group readable, and make the user www-data a member of that 
group. That should do it. Forget suexec, it is far more complicated than 
what it sounds like you need.

Why of course.  The server doesn't 'know' anything about that file (or that it 
even exists) until it can 'stat' it.  And now it _cannot_ stat it ;-)
It sound like a chicken and egg problem to me.

Ah. So what do other people do?

I could chgrp www-data, but then suexec complains.
I could give o+rx access, but then I'm left with anyone on the machine
being able to read everything.

Is there a simple solution?

I'm evalutating a HA architecure based on LVS. Coda fs is a possible
choice for distributed files among the real servers. It would be
used for generic files, not for the DBMS, of course. Is it an affordable

You might want to try loosening the read permissions on the CGI + path to the

user you intended it to.  Then try tightening the read permissions on the CGI
itself, and then along the path to it.
The other thing to check is that your scripts are physically located under
suEXEC's DOC_ROOT (/var/www on Sarge, I think).

Dunno, I'm not really into apache in a deep way.

 I could chgrp www-data, but then suexec complains.
 I could give o+rx access, but then I'm left with anyone on the machine

Experiment. Maybe setting 711 on the directories leading up to that file 
changes things enough ?   Or maybe leaving all dirs 755 (but not the files 
itself) fixes it and leaves enough security for your setup ? Try it.

Done. chmod o+rx on:

They are.

The problem with this setup is that I have to have o+rx permission on

Well, to get /proper/ isolation you have to run separate Apache 
instances... :)
You could try a compromise along the lines of that suggested by Upayavira, 
except
you hit NGROUPS_MAX as you noted.
Wild Ass Suggestion: If you made each user VirtualHost directory uid user gid
www-data, and mode 2750 (note the setgid bit there), and have only Apache in 
group
www-data, might that not work?  [Am I missing something obvious?]
The biggest problem then is that users can piggyback off Apache's group www-data
access by running scripts.  Perhaps this could be surmounted with suexec, by 
forcing
scripts to run as the User/Group you specify.  Users might have to manually 
chgrp
their scripts to their User Private Group in this scenario though, which is a
disadvantage.
But I should shut up now... I have to defer at this point to someone with more
experience at running large Apache installations.  8-P

DLT is a quite expensive way to backup, especially considering the price
of the tapes (50-100 euros). Depending on how many backups and how much
data you want to keep around it might be interesting to look at other
solutions
(External harddrives, dvd, maybe blue-ray next year). Since harddrives
run at about 100 euro's for 200 GB it's quite hard to beat those prices.

 Are the DLT only SCSI or do they exist in PATA and SATA too ?

So far I've only seen SCSI versions, I'd think SATA is still quite far
off for DLT (as there aren't even many cd/dvd drives on sata yet)

Why not take a couple of 180,- EUR external USB 2.0 harddisks with
about 200GB each? Fast, also in restore, cheap and easy to manage.
At least compared to DDS3 tapes the ones from Maxtor do not have a
significant higher failure percentage (maybe combine exclusures and
harddisc yourself to choose the harddisk brand, you trust the most).

Curently I have a backup server with a 3Ware SATA Raid-5 and 4 Hitachi
400 GByte HDDs plus my HP-DDS3. It is connected to a second (backup)
network. The 1,2 TByte diskspace are enough to make 4 weeks backup.
Each week one FULL and six INCREMENTAL backup. 

The problem is, that I am already using 400 GByte HDDs in External cases
but the 5 1/4 enclosure are to big for the Bank-Tresor (only 4) and I
was looking for smaller Media.

DVD9 is not an option, because the poor quality and the number of DVDs.

 some suggestions. My only problem is that my purse is very limited
 to =700 Euro.
 
 Are the DLT only SCSI or do they exist in PATA and SATA too ?

I just looked into this a little myself and ended up going with an AIT tape
drive.  My understanding is that because they have helical scan heads, the
drives are smaller and use less power.  (The tape speed doesn't have to be
as fast so you don't need as big of motors - or something like that.)

I just ordered this drive:
http://coastalmicrosupply.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=446

(Not as big as what you're talking about though!)

Tapes are very expensive new.  I've already bought some (used) from ebay.
They look to be in very good shape and ran about $5 apiece.  Obviously I'll
run a verify them when I get the drive in.  (If you buy tapes from ebay
make sure you understand what you're getting - I've seen some 2G AIT tapes
for sale - I had no idea tapes that small even existed!)

FWIW, I run a variety of backup strategies.  For really big data, I just go
with the multiple hard drive approach.  (Where n == 2.)  For full backups
of my server, I like tape as I can drop a tape in my safety deposit box
from time to time.  Then it's a matter of organizing things to make sure
the appropriate backup happens automatically.

Take care,
 Dale

Re: Keep auto-periodic fsck's enabled on ext3 partitions?

2005-01-07 Thread Glenn Oppegard
Thanks for weighing in with your opinion, which was basically what I 
was planning to do anyways unless I heard otherwise. We don't run 
cutting-edge kernels, only upgrading for important bug or security 
patches. Combined with nightly backups of customer data, I think we'll 
be pretty safe disabling auto-fscks (knock on wood).

Thanks again,

Hello,
We have production machines that have ext3 partitions bigger than
100GB. On our last kernel upgrade, we were surprised to see the
machines do an fsck on all partitions even though they were unmounted
cleanly.
Upon further investigation we found the tune2fs options that force
fscks of partitions after a certain number of mounts, or after a
certain period of time since the last fsck (6 months in our case). My
question is, is it detrimental to disable these auto-checks and not 
run
fsck periodically?
If you always upgrade to the latest kernel when it's out, it's probably
a good idea to leave it on; otherwise, and as long as you don't
experience problems, I suggest to switch it off.
The man page for tune2fs says it's not wise...
That is mostly relevant for systems that don't take regular backups. If
you do (and for the sake of your customers, I hope that is the case),
the extra precaution isn't really necessary, and probably a bad idea if
the cost involved (in terms of downtime) is too high.
The idea of the fsck is so that you would notice if anything out of the
ordinary is going on in the kernel. If you are, however, running the
same kernel all the time, either nothing will happen (and the fsck's 
are
superfluous), or your kernel is broken and you'll be fucked anyway (and
the fsck's won't help you).

Keep auto-periodic fsck's enabled on ext3 partitions?

2005-01-06 Thread Glenn Oppegard
Hello,
We have production machines that have ext3 partitions bigger than 
100GB. On our last kernel upgrade, we were surprised to see the 
machines do an fsck on all partitions even though they were unmounted 
cleanly.

Upon further investigation we found the tune2fs options that force 
fscks of partitions after a certain number of mounts, or after a 
certain period of time since the last fsck (6 months in our case). My 
question is, is it detrimental to disable these auto-checks and not run 
fsck periodically? The man page for tune2fs says it's not wise...but 
fscks on 100GB partitions take a lng time, during which my 
customers' services are offline. I'm even more concerned for our new 
machines that have 200GB partitions, where an fsck will take hours to 
complete.

Anyone have suggestions or experience with this?
Thanks,
Glenn Oppegard

If you always upgrade to the latest kernel when it's out, it's probably
a good idea to leave it on; otherwise, and as long as you don't
experience problems, I suggest to switch it off.

 The man page for tune2fs says it's not wise...

That is mostly relevant for systems that don't take regular backups. If
you do (and for the sake of your customers, I hope that is the case),
the extra precaution isn't really necessary, and probably a bad idea if
the cost involved (in terms of downtime) is too high.

The idea of the fsck is so that you would notice if anything out of the
ordinary is going on in the kernel. If you are, however, running the
same kernel all the time, either nothing will happen (and the fsck's are
superfluous), or your kernel is broken and you'll be fucked anyway (and
the fsck's won't help you).

Also, if you do not have ECC RAM (with a chipset/arch that does ECC
monitoring and auto-scrubbing, since Linux is completely retarded on that
area for ia32), you should fsck periodically.

One thing that has been suggested is to use LVM and fsck a snapshot.  If fsck 
on a snapshot LV indicates that nothing other than journal replay is really 
needed then you can keep running.  If it finds some more serious problem then 
you can consider other options.

I don't know of anyone actually implementing this due to fsck not being 
painful enough.  It would be interesting to read some reports of someone 
actually doing this in the field.

Re: Suggestions for remote server monitoring

2005-01-05 Thread John Barton


   What software would people recommend for remotely monitoring a server? I'm 
not talking about intrustion detection and whatnot, just keeping an eye on 
things like CPU load, memory, bandwidth usage, etc. Bonus points if it uses 
something like RRD--graphs and charts are not just pretty eyecandy for me.
If you want to monitor resources on a remote system, try cacti. It has 
great graphing capability using RRD. One of my favorite features is 
being able to highlight a section of your graph and have it draw a new 
graph to zoom in on the area of concern.

apt-cache show nagios
Nagios will keep track of all your services - from http, to e-mail, to
ftp, etc. as well as the number of running processes, disk usage, etc.
It will also e-mail you when it sees a problem. It has a webpage admin
interface that's pretty informative. The only thing I think it doesn't
do is monitor bandwidth for you; that would require a different program.
 

If you have access to the data, it isn't hard to extend Nagios to handle 
custom monitoring tasks. Just write a script that returns a status code 
and some text.

We have been using it for several servers at work for a while with good
success.
 

Likewise.

You need to find out whether the init.d script was supplied or changed
by the debian maintainer.

 I've done apt-get source and poked around a bit but could not tell where

See the diff.gz file (BTW vim does nice highligting if you have syntax
on), it usually contains all the debian modifications to the upstream
tarball.

From the diff, I see the courier-pop init script was rewritten for Debian. 
The custom version script starts courierpop3login directly instead of 
pop3d, and syslog tags log entries accordingly.

What POP or IMAP daemon can I use with exim on Debian?

or rather,

Is there a Web mail client I can use with a POP or IMAP server and exim
on Debian?

If the first is what you're asking: Personally, I prefer IMAP; if you do
as well, then have a look at dovecot or courier-imapd. I'm not too
familiar with POP, so can't help you there.

If the second is what you're asking, then you have quite a number of
options. Most webmail thingies support IMAP and /any/ MTA, including
exim; in fact, I have yet to see the first one that does not. In that

munin for local tests, nagios for the network ones.  There is some overlap
- munin can do network tests, but it seems they are best suited in those
realms, at least so far.  munin lacks the ability to directly alert an
admin of a problem (although it can alert via nagios).  nagios lacks
decent graphing tools, while munin makes pretty RRD-graphs.

gpg to a pipe

2005-01-03 Thread Antonin Karasek
Hi,
I make my backups by tar and encrypt it by gpg.
I do the job over pipe because I don't have too much disk space. The 
result is 28GB file backup.tar.gpg

Then I send the file over ftp to backup server.
Is it possible to send the file directly from a pipe? More precisely - 
gpg will write it's output to a pipe and ftp will read the data from the 
pipe.

I tryed to do that, but I wasn't able to force gpg to write the 
encrypted data to a pipe.

Can anybody help me?
Many thaks.

Seems that netcat would be a better replacement for ftp for your case. 
It can read from pipes like so: your_command_here | nc -n 10.0.0.130

1000, to a listening netcat there, which would presumably write its 
input to a local disk file)

By the way, please don't top-post, it messes readability and loses 
context for the archives.

Re: gpg to a pipe

2005-01-03 Thread Antonin Karasek
It's a little hard-core, but I CAN pipe over ftp - I just found yout how.
Fro a case, that anybody else need this, here is the script:
#!/bin/bash
date
cd /backup
mknod week.tar p
mknod week.tar.gpg p
tar -cpf week.tar --exclude=proc / 
echo password | gpg -c --passphrase-fd 0 \
--no-tty --status-fd 1 --output=- week.tar  week.tar.gpg 
ftp -n the.server.com  EOF
quote USER user
quote PASS password
del week.tar.gpg
put |cat week.tar.gpg week.tar.gpg
ls
bye
EOF
rm week.tar*
date
exit 0
### end of script
Many thanks for help
Regards
Tony

you can not pipe thru ftp client. ftp is file-oriented.

Many thanks - it works.
But there is another problem. I want ftp to read the file from a pipe. 
I get this error:

local: backup.tar.gpg remote: backup.tar.gpg
backup.tar.gpg: not a plain file.
(backup.tar.gpg is a pipe)
Is it anyhow possible to force ftp to read the file from a pipe?
Many thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED]@lists.debian.org
