Re: limiting user access

Mount the /home partition noexec. In fact, make sure any user writable partition is mounted noexec. If your users can copy files to /usr, then you've got a fairly big problem. But what about /var? /var/tmp should be world writable (albeit sticky) according to the FSSTND, but at least a couple of packages use /var for executable files, notably dpkg (/var/lib/dpkg/info/*), and the distributed-net client (/var/lib/distributed-net/distributed-net). (a couple of programs also mistakenly mark data files as executable: /var/qmail/users/assign (qmail) and /tmp/vi.recover/vi.[something] (nvi)) In any case, this solution would work fine if you're able to separate /var and /var/lib, making /var noexec, and ensuring there are no user writable directories withing /var/lib. Is it worth considering a policy change that no system executables should be placed withing /var? BTW, if /var was noexec, it remains possible to have something like /var/lib/distributed-net/distributed-net - /usr/bin/distributed-net, and still be able to cd /var/lib/distributed-net; ./distributed-net, which, I believe should solve that packages concern that it's .ini file must be `argv[0]'.ini. Note that this doesn't keep the user from running shell scripts, or perl scripts, or any other interpreted scripts, unless you limit access to interpreters (including shells). (and note that in most cases they could just as easily run the interpretor and type the program in themselves anyway. Certainly, I've done the same on one of the uni accounts I use. If you don't want users to run scripts (why?), you'll need to get rid of their access to the interpretors, presumably by running in a chroot environment...) Of course, you could mount the /home directory read-only, but that limits its utility. And the /tmp and /var/tmp directories as well. Which kinda limits their utility too.

I would like to get rid of this warning from ldconfig. Are there packages I can remove or install so as to satisfy ldconfig? dpkg -S can't locate the package these files come from.

Re: Hamm upgrade woes
On Thu, 12 Feb 1998, you wrote: Many packages didn't install, and some could not be removed (timezone, wg15-locale, etc). I manually removed the packages the script didn't, then ran autoup.sh again, What version of autoup.sh did you use? The most recent is v0.19. The problems you describe are similar to ones that we encountered prior to about v0.14. Did you run script to record the session, or did you note the exact error messages? It would be helpful to have this information. By manually removing the files that it failed to remove, and rerunning the script, you appear to have completed the script successfully. If all the packages that the script lists for removal have been removed, and all the package that the script lists for installation have been installed, your system should be stable, and the balance of the upgrade can be handled by dselect. Eventually, the script completed, and I was ready to upgrade via dselect using ftp. More problems ensued. I'm being told that packages I want are not found, even though the option to update available packages worked. Can someone give me specific paths to specify in dselect for ftp upgrade? The directory structure for hamm is different from that used earlier. The paths for dselect are dists/unstable/main/binary-i386, dists/unstable/non-free/binary-i386, and dists/unstable/contrib/binary-i386. I want to convert my system to Hamm, but I can't complete, and I'm afraid to shutdown or reboot for fear it may not come back up. Are there packages that run under Bo that won't under Hamm? (xloadimage, etc?). Which libraries must I have to run X-windows, gimp, etc, and which libraries must NOT be loaded to avoid conflicts? I suggest you let dselect update its package list using the paths mentioned above, enter the select phase and resolve any conflicts it shows, then let it install everything it has marked for installation. I recommend that you wait until after this step to select any more packages. It will probably be necessary to make several passes (usually 2 or 3, but sometimes half a dozen) through the install - configure cycle to satisfy dependencies. If you use the dpkg-mountable option (highly recommended if you have a local mirror), it will probably show some predepends that must be resolved manually before it starts the actual installation. With the dpkg-mountable option, it is necessary to run the update phase after each install phase. After this, you should have the necessary run time libraries installed. The descriptions in dselect or in /var/lib/dpkg/available list the libraries that are required for the various packages. In general, dselect will take care of those for you. I see that several people have told you about dpkg -l to get a list of packages installed on your system.

Counting....
I appologise if this is off the topic, but I am trying to put together a method for printer accounting on our debian linux server.

And if anyone has had this problem before and manged to solve it, some help would really be appreciated. Which base package is responsible for setting up mail ?.

afterstep config file in /tmp
Recently we have started having a problem with temporary files created by afterstep and then not deleted. What happens is that a user starts afterstep and it creates a /tmp/steprc file, containing their current setup. The permissions are set according to the user's umask. Sometimes, when the user leaves afterstep this temporary file is not removed, so when the next afterstep user comes along it will try to use the temporary file in preference to their own setup. Worse, if the first user's umask was such that the next user does not have read permission, afterstep will fail to start. For other users, this does not happen. And once upon a time it didn't happen for anybody. Does anybody have any idea what causes the steprc not to be deleted for some users? I suspect something in the personal setup files (this is a student lab, and once somebody gets a nice looking setup it tends to be copied around), but since I am not an afterstep user I haven't been able to spot anything untoward in the .steprc files concerned. The afterstep man page and FAQ do not mention the use of this temporary file at all. -- Gilbert Laycock email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock Leicester Universityphone: (+44) 116 252 3902 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Compute Farm
Hi all, Except cfengine there is another hopefully better because debian specific solution I discovered recently installing hamm. I mean # dpkg --root=/another_machine_root_dir deb_file Think about the great possibilities it gives! Let's assume # mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/DebianFarm # for i in $FarmMachineNames ; do { mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/DebianFarm/$i; mount -t nfs $i:/ /var/lib/dpkg/$i }; done Then we can at any time do: # for i in $FarmMachineNames ; do dpkg --install --root=/var/lib/dpkg/DebianFarm/$i deb_package; done Of course it doesn't eliminate cfengine because such scripts may serve only for instalation purposes. But installing the full system takes at least an hour counting from the first dselect start. In this particular case it allows to save 200 hours. BTW, it appears to be neccessary to have a possibility of using dselect to choose packages and resolve all conflicts/dependencies and then export package names IN PROPER ORDER (this is probably one of hamm's bugs) to a file which could be an argument for the script proposed above. Is it possible? -- Jerzy Kakol -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Does anybody know if there is some bit of magic out there that allows me to read my cc:Mail account from my Debian hamm system at work?

Penquinfreaks? never mind ;) ) out there know of something to do this, it would save me having to either wait until WINE becomes stable enough to run cc:mail, or I'll have to - heaven forbid - reboot my machine into NT4 (shudder) all the time.

Fw: Plse stop your mail server process!
I have been trying to upgrade from Bo to Hamm via ftp, as many of you are now aware from my previous post Hamm upgrade woes. Thanks for all the replies and advice. Still working on it. Apparently one of the packages I downloaded is not properly installed or configured, or maybe isn't even present. It looks like Cron is trying to start faxrunq, can't find it, then tries to email root on my machine (p90.mydomain) to tell me about it. Unfortunately, I haven't configured my email under Linux yet - I use OS/2 and Win95 for mail still. These messages are finding their way to my ISP, who can't deliver them and apparently thinks it spam. My machine is shutdown right now, and I'll examine my cron tables when I boot up this evening. What a pain for an ignorant slob like me! :) Thanks again for help and advice.

BASH question
Can anyone tell me why I can't generate working Bash scripts? For example, I want to create a short script called print so that I can do some formatted printing: #!/bin/sh # Print -- formatted printer tool to get a 5-space margin and a header/footer pr -o 5 $1 | lpr When I try to run this script (chmod +x) I get error messages indicating errors when the script is executed. There are two flavors: 1) /bin/bash : No such file name 2) /bin/bash : Invalid file or directorypr --where part of the error message includes the last few characters of each line in the shell script. I suspect an environmental variable is at fault, however my other scripts (installed during my hamm install) work fine (the one's I didn't write), plus scripts that I have edited seem to work in some cases, but not in others. This error occurs in virtual terminal mode and in login and non-login x-windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To test it, enter your host as the smtp host in your mailsetup and send a mail to some address outside this smtphost. The smtp-host should not consider the computer you are running this mailprogramm on, as part of its localnet, so dialin to a different ISP.

The chap secrets, now mode 600, in /etc/ppp has - Hisusername * Hispassword - in it, just like mine. The PPP.log says: Feb 13 14:32:35 sexmajik pppd[174]: Connect: ppp0 -- /dev/ttyS1 Feb 13 14:32:35 sexmajik pppd[174]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 mru 1500 asyncmap 0x0 magic 0x86b70234 pcomp accomp] Feb 13 14:32:36 sexmajik pppd[174]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x5d asyncmap 0xa auth chap md5 magic 0x3442bd5 pcomp 0b 04 07 00] Feb 13 14:32:36 sexmajik pppd[174]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x5d auth chap md5 0b 04 07 00] Feb 13 14:32:36 sexmajik pppd[174]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x5e asyncmap 0xa auth chap md5 magic 0x3442bd5 pcomp] Feb 13 14:32:36 sexmajik pppd[174]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x5e auth chap md5] Feb 13 14:32:36 sexmajik pppd[174]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x5f asyncmap 0xa auth chap md5 magic 0x3442bd5 pcomp] Feb 13 14:32:36 sexmajik pppd[174]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x5f auth chap md5] Feb 13 14:32:36 sexmajik pppd[174]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x60 asyncmap 0xa auth chap md5 magic 0x3442bd5 pcomp] Feb 13 14:32:36 sexmajik pppd[174]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x60 auth chap md5] Feb 13 14:32:37 sexmajik pppd[174]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x61 asyncmap 0xa auth chap md5 magic 0x3442bd5 pcomp] Feb 13 14:32:37 sexmajik pppd[174]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x61 auth chap md5] Feb 13 14:32:37 sexmajik pppd[174]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Feb 13 14:32:37 sexmajik pppd[174]: Modem hangup Feb 13 14:32:37 sexmajik pppd[174]: Connection terminated.

Some isp's use different arrangements on different servers. ...so I added +chap to the options file to make sure it was using the CHAP auth that the server wanted. That isn't what +chap does. +chap tells pppd to demand that the server authenticate itself to you using chap. It won't do so, of course. Take the +chap out. The server will ask for chap authentication and pppd will know what to do. ...it couldn't / cant find or access the chap-secrets file that I made. That is a bit puzzling. The chap-secrets is in /etc/ppp, and I chmod'ed it to 777 just incase, but it still does the same stuff. Chmod it back. pppd runs suid root. I'm sure its something really silly that i'm missing.

NOTICE: Starting Monday, 16-Feb, there will be no source for debian packages included in the mirror. I have completely ran out of disk space between the incoming stuff and the 2 full distributions. I am working on getting another drive for this system, but, since it serves no real purpose besides the ftp/nfs/http/fsp for Debian, I can't convince the people with the money to come up with more for another drive. Please bear with me as I work this out.

(at least the version of tar in bo won't) Also, a one-bit error can ruin all files recorded after the error - not a great idea. I really am surprised that there's no standard backup method for debian that: 1) backs up across multiple volumes 2) provides checksums for each file, and 3) allows compression on a file-by-file basis (i.e. allows creation of an uncompressed archive of compressed files, which is less susceptible to corruption than a compressed archive of uncompressed files) Take a look at the 'afio' package.

Re: Symbolic links and FTP
Can anyone tell me how to properly create a link from the anonymous ftp/pub directory to another directory located on the same or on a different file system. You can't create symbolic links out of the anonftp directory, at least not working ones. This is because the daemon runs chrooted to /home/ftp. See chroot(2,8) for details. You can, however, create hard links to files on the same filesystem (but not on other filesystems). Use ln(1) or cp -l to do this. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
