 telnetd on a firewall!

yes, I know, but is my home network, and I have no space for too many
monitors...


 OK, I know you said it only listens on the private net, but it still
 sound like poor form to me.

I think that a good deal was to replace inetd with xinetd where you can
bind a service to an address, for instance.

 Have you never heard of ssh?


Yes, I have to confess. It was a RH firewall, and now I'm migrating my
home net to debian, so I dedicated a total of less than two hours for
install and configuration...



solutions to d-link 650 net adapter

2001-02-03 Thread mgriffa
Hi
I post this msg for two thing: for thanking the answers and
leaving it in the archives for others.
I had a problem with the d-link net adpater (pcmcia) on my
notebook, i was a potato r2. The solution was to install the kernel
2.2.18, which comes with a pcmcia-modules version that corrects problems
for the driver I needed. Well, once the net adapter works, the rest of the
update is quite easy.

PS: I've been using linux for a couple of years, and somewhat got sick of
the updating methods of suse and RH (RH is somewhat cool with RHN, but is
pay service), and this ease of administration really pays learing
distr-specific things.



hacked, then intrusion detection system

2001-02-03 Thread mgriffa
Hi.
I just realized that someone entered my debian box with
cablemodem. I couldn't find anything in the logs, but the pump package was
deleted.
I replaced inetd for xinetd. took off services I didnt't use (It
was left all default, as I installed in a rush), and now I'd like a good
intrusion detection system.
I'd like to hear about any advices about not security (too wide)
but tools to run in cron and which may be usefull for this kind of
situations.
Thanks!

 Most of what I  have read recommends a compete reinstall on a system that has
 been breached.  There may be back-doors you don't find.  Take a look at -
 http://www.cert.org/nav/recovering.html

 Also set up a firewall to help prevent this in the future.  There is a
 book at -
 http://www.openna.com/resources/articles/v1.3-xml/index.htm
 that might be helpful to you.  It is redhat based but many good tips.
 You might want to start with the Security-HOWTO at -
 www.linuxdoc.org

 There are many programs like tripwire, snort portsentry you might
 want to take a look at.

I'll, thanks


 You might want to think about getting an older box, 486, P100, along
 those lines and set up a dedicated firewall for your other box(s).

It was already a dedicated firewall. The box runs telnetd (only for
192.168.1.x), squid and ipchains.

can I complete re-install with apt? or I have to do the boot from cd
again?

 Thereby demonstrating that the author of the script your script-kiddie used
 is not incompetent.

  ...but the pump package was deleted.

 Why do you consider this proof that you were cracked?

Phisically, noone but me has access to the machine.
And some suspicious entries on the log took place while I was sleeping.

  I'd like to hear about any advices...

 If you really were cracked (that's _cracked_, not hacked) you must
 reinstall _immediately_.  It is impossible to clean up safely after a
 break-in.  You must also install all security updates and keep them up to
 date.

is there any way to full re-install the system from inside? like apt-get
.. ?



How difficult to hack SCSI CDR?

2001-02-01 Thread mgriffa
Hi all!
Situation: unsupported SCSI cdrecorder
I have a 7501 COMPRO and 7502 is supported. I'm a quite experienced
C/Linux programmer (not kernel). Would it be too crayzy to hack a little
that driver? is too crazy or damn easy?
Any idea/experience/advice appreciated.\

updating packages

2001-01-31 Thread mgriffa
Hi!
I've got a notebook presario 1245, and a pcmcia net adapter. I
need to update the pcmcia modules (I guess, as i had the same problem with
suse 7) in order to make work the net adapter. I guess that if the updates
of pcmcia stuff was available on suse will be on debian...
My questions are rather simple:
Where do I check for the last pcmcia packages? (besides debian.org and
freshmeat)
How do I update a simple package? like new-pcmcia.deb?

Remeber I need to do this via diskettes before using apt-get dist-upgrade
from the net

Thanks in advance!



Fonts

2001-01-31 Thread mgriffa
Hi
I've just installed potato r2 in a notbook and my proxy. I really
don't like the default fonts (or those I managed to install). How could I
get more pretty fonts, like in standard RH or SUSE installations?
NOTE: maybe I messed up, as I had some trouble getting things done with
dselect.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I've been a RH/SuSE user for about 3 years, and I'm migrating now to
Debian, as It is the distro that mature linux users get the way I see it.

I've never been furstated by the config of RH, actually, very happy with
its hardware detection, also SuSE its quite easy to install and conf, but
both have the same RPM problem, I need to boot from a CD and run an
update, which does a real mess with my configuration files... I don't to
this more than 4 times a year... but enought to get me tired...

But the best of debian, IMHO, is that you get much, much more than
software.

Re: AVA-1505A, USB

2001-01-11 Thread mgriffa
Hi!
I have an AHA1505, (with an unsupported CDR unfortunately) I could
make it work by appending the parameter to the kernel on lilo boot (later
on lilo.conf.
This looks my lilo.conf
image = /boot/vmlinuz
append = aha152x,7,5,0
...
I'd suggest you to boot and append the parameters by hand, until you see
the scsi host is detected...
good luck!

Anyone installed debian on one of these? I'd like to know how

Well, I'm just planing to updata the notebook and wanted to see how much
