Check your commonhttpd.conf file, (/etc/httpd/conf/ ) but usually the default allows you to follow symlinks (in the past) if not look for # Each directory to which Apache has access, can be configured with respect# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that# directory (and its subdirectories). # # First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of # permissions. # # Also, for security, we disable indexes globally # Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None and make it look like the above.

Actually pretty easy. cd to /var/www/html move any index.xxx files to index.xxx.old then put the files you want to share in this directory. voila when people go to http://your.ip.number they get a list of files and can then http them down.(the old right click save as routine) Quick and dirty. The default action in apache et all is that when the index files aren't there just give a list of what is. James > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If anyone is intrested I've got a script I put together when CodeRed was hammmering away. It sets up iptables or ipchains rules that block the offending site.

It's pretty normal for you to see connection attempts blocked by zone alarm - you are using visual zone to show the logs? Right now you might be seeing more attempts to connect to port 1433 than anything else unless your ISP is already blocking that port. -- Brian - [EMAIL PROTECTED] My Home Page: http://www.brimac.com/~brianmac Fine Photos: http://www.brimacphotography.com Art for Sale: http://www.artbrowser.com Classified Advertising: http://www.sellit2000.com A lack of leadership is no substitute for inaction.

I'm running a small ftp for people on windows because thats all I knew, until recently finding Linux. Linux is perfectly capable of doing this but i don't know how to use an ftp server in it. So, I use windows for now. Its a small ftp server using "Serv-U" as the server itself. As for Netbios, whats happening is my logs say someone is trying to get through to it. Don't know why. I thought it was because I share a hard drive with my girlfriend at home on a 3 computer LAN. I'm behind a firewall called zone alarm, and it logs any connect attempts rather thoroughly. I also have a log analyzing program that tells me what the logs mean, who's IP it was that tried to connect, type of connection logged, etc. What I want is simply to run a small ftp server for ppl on these lists & for close friends to connect to for documents & music. Windows until the last 3 or 4 days, has done a fine job of it. However in the last few days I've been getting knocked off line for whatever reason, and I suspect its because of this ftp thats up & running. Its the only plausible explanation I have other than my ISP is screwing up. I did call the ISP to see if there were any problems & the automated service they use told me there seem to be none in my area. Today I booted into linux, setup teh Bastille firewall & made it pretty secure against outside interference. I'm hoping that if it is a hacker/cracker trying to gain entry, bastille will log the attempts more thoroughly so I may find out what to do. If its just my isp I'm hoping that will be logged as well somehow. I also hope if it is a cracker trying to get in, Bastille will do a better job of stopping them & I won't get knocked offline as was happening in Windows. Sorry if I haven't been very clear, been on painkillers for two days. Today is the first day I've got a clearer mind & I hope this explanation suffices for you Dr.Jung *s*. Thx for your help, if you can offer any on how to setup a small ftp (or something) to do what I need it to do. Femme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Am I the only one that feels your postings are somewhat cryptic. Are you being hit with an ddos type of attack? Why, if I might ask, are your running a ftp service using windows? Anyone here could refer you to many sites that would advise you against such an activity. Are you saying that you run your netbios on the internet, and what is a "g/f*".
