Re: XKBOPTIONS:ctrl:nocaps is not working with console-cyrillic

2012-03-15 Thread Stayvoid 
 Does it work when you're on a tty?
No.
(BTW, console-cyrillic doesn't work with X. Maybe it's not a problem
and I should use something else.)

 Also, check for any open bug there could for the mentioned package
 (console-cyrillic):
I haven't found any, but I found a solution.

Maybe it's not a clean one, but it works:
1. Install and setup console-cyrillic;
2. Add or uncomment the following line in /etc/console-tools/remap:
s/keycode  58 = Caps_Lock/keycode  58 = Control/;
3. Add /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh to your /etc/rc.local.

Cheers

 A machine (including any virtual hosts on it) can not be 100% secured
 from people having physical access to it.
So the only solution in this case is to run the server at my place. Right?

Securing Debian Manual: 3.1 Choose a BIOS password

2012-03-08 Thread Stayvoid 
Hello.

Before you install any operating system on your computer, set up a
BIOS password. After installation (once you have enabled bootup from
the hard disk) you should go back to the BIOS and change the boot
sequence to disable booting from floppy, CD-ROM and other devices that
shouldn't boot. Otherwise a cracker only needs physical access and a
boot disk to access your entire system. [1]
Is there a way to prevent such actions while using a VPS?

I won't have a physical access to the machine.
Is there a need to set a BIOS password for a VPS? (I've never used a
VPS, but someone told me that it's possible for some of them.) I've
been told that it's not necessary because if someone reboot the
machine I'll have no chance to enter the password.

The presence, for example, of development utilities (a C compiler) or
interpreted languages (such as perl - but see below -, python, tcl...)
may help an attacker compromise the system…
So, without Perl and, unless you remake these utilities in shell

will not be able to upgrade the system, which is not a Good Thing).

Bringing the system to run level 1 (single user) and then back to run

2012-03-08 Thread Stayvoid 
Exercise caution when dealing with security upgrades if you are doing
them over a remote connection like ssh. A suggested procedure for a
security upgrade that involves a service restart is to restart the SSH
daemon and then, inmediately, attempt a new ssh connection without
breaking the previous one. If the connection fails, revert the upgrade
and investigate the issue.
How to make it?

Hello.

Note that you could introduce the configuration above in the user's

such a way that prevents the user from modifying this file. This
includes: having the user's home directories not belong to the user
(since he would be able to remove the file otherwise) but at the same
time enable them to read the .profile configuration file and write on
the .bash_history. It would be good to set the immutable flag (also
using chattr) for .profile too if you do it this way.

Securing Debian Manual: 4.16.2 The ext2 filesystem specific attributes (chattr/lsattr)

2012-03-08 Thread Stayvoid 
Hello.

In addition to the usual Unix permissions, the ext2 and ext3
filesystems offer a set of specific attributes that give you more
control over the files on your system.
What about ext4 and others?

Now that the capability has been removed from the system, an intruder
cannot change any attribute on the protected files, and thus cannot
change or remove the files. If he forces the machine to reboot (which
is the only way to restore the capabilities bounding set), it will
easily be detected, and the capability will be removed again as soon
as the system restarts anyway. The only way to change a protected file
would be to boot the system in single-user mode or using another
bootdisk, two operations that require physical access to the machine
!
What about the remote connections?

Now I have two systems installed. I don't think it'll be a problem to

 rEFIt works but cannot be convinced to stop delaying the boot
 process by ~20 seconds (even after deleting PRAM and bless'ing
 the partition).
I've been told that it's possible to tweak rEFIt, but I don't know how.

 I've had the same problem. But using grub2 there is no need to use rEFIt
 in a single boot environment.
Could you tell a little bit more?
What should I do to make it work?
Will it be enough to delete the partition of Mac OS X (rEFIt was
installed via Mac OS X)?
Should I somehow update GRUB after that?

OT: Newbie questions on security

2012-03-07 Thread Stayvoid 
Hi there.

I've recently read Securing Debian Manual and I have some newbie
questions connected with security.
I've thought that debian-security is the right list
for them, but I was wrong.
What is the proper list for such questions?

Here is an example:
What is more secure: dedicated server or VPS?
I've been told that a hoster has an ability to look through the files on the VM.
Why people use this solution for MTAs?  Do they care about privacy? Is
it possible to hide your data from the staff?

Cheers

P.S. I have more questions to ask and I don't really know where to
post them. So I need your advice. Sorry for the OT.

Re: xserver-xorg vs. xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

2012-02-29 Thread Stayvoid 
 Earlier you mentioned
 http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting

 did you check the section that applies to this error?
 http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting#Xorg_fails_to_start_with_.22.28EE.29_.5Bdrm.5D_failed_to_open_device.22

This guide wasn't helpful. modprobe nouveau outputs nothing and
there is no nouveau module in the output of lsmod. But nouveau
appears in the output of lspci -vv.

 At this point I can only guess there is some mismatch between your
 kernel and Xorg. I would suggest you try to reproduce this on a pure
 Debian install[1][2], but if it works there is not much more we can do.

 [1] you mentioned using gNewSense
 [2] you are of course aware that Debian with only 'main' is free

Kernel: Linux-libre 3.2.4;
Xorg: 1:7.5+8+squeeze1.

I don't know how to check the versions of libdrm and nouveau DRM. And
I have no idea which ones are compatible.

Someone told me that I could check it this way:
$ grep DRICreatePCIBusID /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri*

Here is the output:
Binary file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so matches

I don't know how to reinstall the whole system quickly or how to
install it harmlessly for the main system. (Could you provide a guide
on this?) It took me a lot of time to setup the current system.
And I don't really want to install Debain. [a]

Let's try to fix it in gNewSense. (My version is based on Squeeze.)

I'd also tried to ask gNewSense guys. [b]

 To make the firmware work properly you need at least 2 more files that

 Works here with acpi-support. Uncomment LID_SLEEP=true

I'd uncommented LID_SLEEP, but it didn't work out. It may depend on

Or it may be connected with pm-utils: Beginning with version 0.122-1
acpi-support solely uses pm-utils then.
Any ideas?

2012-02-06 Thread Stayvoid 
 First, invoke acpi_listen, then close and re-open the lid. The event will
 be shown onscreen, in my case it is button/lid LID close plus a few
 other lines.
In my case: button/lid LID0 0080 000f (closed) and
button/lid LID0 0080 0010 (opened). The last numbers differ
from time to time.

 Second, write script placed into /etc/acpi/:

 $cat /etc/acpi/lidclose.sh
 echo echoing from inside script lidclose.sh
 touch /etc/acpi/tested.ok
 pm-suspend
It didn't work.

 Second, create this script:

 $cat /etc/acpi/lidclose
 event=button/lid LID close
 action=/etc/acpi/lidclose.sh
This one didn't work too. (I've changed event according to acpi_listen.)

How will it know when to run /etc/acpi/lidclose?

BTW, there are lid.sh and sleep.sh in this directory. Maybe I should
tweak those. What do you think?

 I wonder if nuvó supports that card.
It's supported: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames#NV50

 1/ Disable KMS (append nouveau.modeset=0 to the kernel line of GRUB)
Are you talking about GRUB legacy (1)? I'm using the second version.

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Yep, I've tried some solutions from the Web, but it didn't work out.


Cheers.

 Serious, you're using a Mac [1], there's nothing I could imagine that's
 more un-libre.
I can't go back in time, but I can change the future.

 I really wonder why you won't use the proprietary driver.
It's a matter of principle.

Thanks for the links.

Truecrypt

Hi there!

I want to encrypt my files automatically when I close my laptop. Is it possible?
Which directories should be encrypted? Where is stored my personal

I'm using gNewSense (it's a Debian-based distro).

Re: xserver-xorg vs. xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

2012-01-31 Thread Stayvoid 
 In brief, the former will install (by dependencies) the full Xorg server
 with all of the VGA drivers...
Will it install Nouveau this way?

Should I install Nouveau drivers after the installation of the server itself?


Cheers.

 TrueCrypt is non-free software, and as a gNewSense user you should know it.
Thanks! What could you recommend as a replacement?

Hello!

 What version of Debian do you have installed?
I'm using gNewSense (AFAIK it's based on Squeeze).

 What Nvidia graphics?
NVIDIA GeForce 330M + Intel HD

 What computer?
MacBookPro6,2

 Do you need perfect, very fast 3D acceleration?
Yep, but the drivers should be free.

 What screen resolution will you use?
1680 x 1050
But I'm not sure about this one.

I also forgot to mention that I want to be able to switch between
GPUs. What should I use for this purpose? What about VGA switcheroo?


Cheers.

Securing Debian

2012-01-26 Thread Stayvoid 
Hello there!

I'm going to run my own server (website + MTA).
Here is the chosen solution:
https://www.gandi.net/hosting/vps/dedicated (Debian 6 64 bits without
Gandi AI).
Is it OK?

This is my first attempt to administer a server and I want to be as
secure as possible.
Could you give any advice on this topic? What should be done in the first place?
Are there any Gentoo-Hardened-like security addons available for Debian?

I'm thinking about Apache + Postfix. I also want to read my mail
through Emacs (Rmail). Should I install anything else to make it work
(SSH etc.)?

I'd like to use this server as a proxy too. (I don't want to give
anyone a chance to look through my traffic.) Is it a good idea? Is it
even possible? Are there any better solutions for this purpose?


Kind regards.

Debian on x86.

My processor is x86.

Which one should I download?
http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/debian-installer/

My OS is Windows XP and I need to make a backup of my data, but I also
want to use this data in the future (on Debian). Could you recommend
me something? Are there any software solutions (not just copy and
paste)? Windows-based ntbackup is not working in that way.
