Re: [LUAU] Excellent SSH advice
I agree with Vince on this. About 3 yrs ago I did some consulting for a client who had initially believed tcp_wrapper was enough to thwart attacks via ssh. By the time I was allowed shell access to the machine, it had long been compromised. Mind you, it also had an outdated version of openssh. But as far as relying on tcp_wrapper to prevent unauthorized access attempts, that proved to be false. We ended up rebuilding the machine and using netfilter instead. It's been safe since. hope that helps, -ho'ala Vince Hoang said: On Wed, Jan 12, 2005 at 10:42:10PM -1000, Dwight Victor wrote: Hmmm. If the wrapper is first to receive data, and finds that the attempt should be denied, whouldn't it drop the connection? Why would it pass the buffered information to the SSH daemon? How can you implement a buffer overflow on a dropped connection? I think the wrapper should work in a similar manner to iptables and drop all subsequent data after determining that the attempt is denied. If you run lsof or netstat on your system, you should see that sshd, and not tcpd, is listening on tcp/22. Tcpd is not invoked, and does not shield sshd from attacks. -Vince ___ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau

Re: [luau] dhcpd.conf setup
howzit Charles,
I've run into this problem before. even though you only have eth0, you
need to tell dhcpd about it. Best way to do it is via /etc/init.d/dhcpd.
In that file, look for a line that looks like:
daemon /usr/sbin/dhcpd ${DHCPDARGS}
Go ahead and append eth0 to it, like so:
daemon /usr/sbin/dhcpd ${DHCPDARGS} eth0
then restart dhcpd service -- /sbin/service dhcpd restart
---
hope that helps,

It was a very specific message stating that it saw a subnet it hadn't been told about. Normally this is a result of having multiple NICs in the system (such as internet gateways) where DHCP is only supposed to be run on one NIC. It can also result from teh rathar odd, but not unheard of, situation where IPs in different subnets are assigned to the same NIC. It's certainly worth a shot to do this, but if this is the actual problem I'd venture to say there's a bug in the DHCP daemon if none of the other things I mentioned are true. --MonMotha ___ LUAU mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/luau

I'm sitting in a crowded waiting room at an airport in France, unsure of how i got there and minding my own business, when suddenly a young kid asks aloud, I heard Linux servers don't perform as well as Microsoft servers and Microsoft servers can actually do more than Linux servers! All of a sudden, I find myself walking to the middle of the room and protesting, in a most audible manner, That's not true! I have clients running their entire businesses from Linux servers. You can do way more with Linux, I have proof! Shock and awe fills the room- no one's buying into it. Then, the same kid asks, Yea, but what about shared contacts? OpenLDAP! I retort. All of a sudden, behind me and from across the room, another kid jumps in with, I'm using OpenLDAP and I can't get my NFS mounts to work. It sucks! I then counter with, Don't blame ldap, maybe you don't have NFS working properly.

Ige, Chair Senator Melodie Williams Aduja, Vice Chair From: Hoala Greevy, Manager, hoalagreevy, LLC Date: Tuesday, 1 April 2003 Subject: Support of SCR 109, Open Source Software Based in Honolulu, hoalagreevy, LLC is an IT consulting firm specializing in open source systems integration and software development. Since 1996, our experiences with networking and software development have consistently shown time and time again that open source software provides an excellent alternative to proprietary, closed-source software. We strongly support SCR 109, relating to open source software, as its adoption would give the State greater control over its systems and provide an excellent return on investment. Open source software is attractive for professional use in business environments for several key reasons: Cost, freedom, support, and performance. Open source software costs a fraction of closed source, proprietary software. For example, the popular OpenOffice suite of desktop applications, which is comparable to Microsofts Office XP suite, costs $0 to use. Microsoft Office XP on the other hand, costs as much as $579 per computer. Also, since its software code is publicly available, open source software affords greater control over software. Modifications and enhancements are much easier to make, which ultimately provides greater freedom to organizations and their end users. Support for open source software is abundant. Here in Hawaii alone, a mailing list called LUAU exists that, with over 250 subscribers, provides rapid support to a variety of open source applications. In addition, there are a growing number of local companies who specialize in open source systems integration and software development. Open source software is also renown for its stability and performance. In fact, a vast majority of the Internet is powered by open source software. It can be argued that if it werent for open source software, the Internet would not have been able to grow as rapidly as it did over the past 10 years. In closing, we support open source software because it costs less, runs better, and does more than a majority of closed-source software on the market. We urge you to pass SCR 109. Mahalo nui loa for this opportunity to testify.---
Re: [luau] turning off radhat services
According to the RHCE course I took last October, here is a clarification on the ipchains and iptables daemons located /etc/rc.d/init.d both scripts initially deal with the Red Hat Firewall Configuration Toolkit, which is located at /usr/sbin/lokkit. lokkit is first called during installation, as it's the screen where it asks what level of firewall you want. As far as lokkit is concerned (and this is definitely a redhat-ism), the ipchains and iptables daemons both do the same thing, which is to load the firewall options you chose at bootup. Starting with RH 7.3 and beyond, the iptables daemon (is it even really a daemon? dunno know how else to aptly describe it) is used by default by lokkit. Even though RH 7.1 and 7.2 both include support for iptables, lokkit will employ ipchains by default instead. Don't ask me why, the RedHat instructor didn't know either. Here's where it gets kind of interesting. If you have an iptables script like MonMotha's firewall, you can run his script to get your firewall up and running, tweak it, and once you're satisfied with it, you can issue this: /sbin/service iptables save /sbin/chkconfig iptables on The first command sequence will load the current iptables config into memory. Not really actually, they just get loaded into /etc/sysconfig/iptables, which is another redhat-ism config file. The second command sequence will call the iptables daemon to start on boot. It turns out to be a roundabout way to have MonMotha's firewall to play nice in /etc/rc.d/init.d :-) hope that helps, Ho'ala Chris Stark said: ipchains iptablesfirewall stuff, one or other on. Actually my system has both on, a problem? You probably don't need both. IP Tables is the newer of the two (and probably the one you should go with).

Re: [luau] HOSEF will make Hawaii better.
Scott, much mahalo for sending out the HOSEF update, I have been absolutely buried with work of late. here's an update from me: - working on pumping out a press release for HOSEF. Once that's pau, we should be able to approach several local papers with a newsworthy piece. The media loves to tell its readers about free stuff, and HOSEF's non-profit status makes it nearly that- a worthwhile way for businesses to legally write off legacy hardware. - NetEnterprise has about a dozen PCs they wish to donate to HOSEF. They are located at 1132 Bishop on the 7th Floor. I can arrange a pickup time, but I will need help getting the stuff out to Stadium Marketplace Pricebusters. - I wouldn't mind teaching and/or lending a hand out at the Pricebusters lab, as long as i could keep a very flexible schedule. At any rate, that's about it from me. Like Scott alluded to, there's alot of potential for HOSEF- I have a gut feeling this will be the year Hawaii learns about Linux. 1500 donated PCs?! secretbonus!

I know the folks who produce this show. If we can put together a compelling idea for an episode, I'm fairly confident they would be open to it. Indeed, they have the best intentions but alas, they are big fans of Redmond. I suggested to them in the past a dialogue on reasons why that despite it spreading like wildfire across the planet (and fast!), linux and open source in general remain largely in the shadows here in Hawaii. The thinktechhawaii folks can be a valuable resource to us, as they are very well connected with the Lingle administration. On a side note, it is my understanding that the City County of Honolulu has moved their infrastructure entirely over to Win2k server, as apparently no one inhouse knew how to effectively manage the Unix hosts they previously had. As far as I know, Linux remains in the shadows with the City County. That being said however, we do have a heavy open source advocate working for the state, his name being John Pescador.

Re: [luau] Linux newbie seeks easy transition
Karen, Eric's right, samba will take care of file/print sharing between all 3 machines. From what you've described, it sounds like the only additional hardware you'll need is the DSL modem. As for your financial software and relunctance to jump into Linux, have you considered VNC? It's free, it'll run on both Linux and Wintel, and it'll allow you to access your financial records without losing anything. In a nutshell... CHANCE 'EM!! Ho'ala Eric Hattemer said: Well, the NAT is easy. MonMotha on the list here has a famous script that makes that quite simple. What program is your financial stuff in? Files backup, sharing, networking, and printing can all be done with the SAMBA program, but I'm not expert on that. If you really want a network printer, you can buy a little box that makes a regular printer (possibly only HP) and makes it into a net printer. But you shouldn't need a printer. There is LPR printing software for windows, and SAMBA creates a printer share as though it were a windows print server. Unless you give some more information, it seems your main issues are solved by SAMBA and SAMBA SWAT. Look into those and ask the list for help. I've never really used those myself. -Eric Hattemer On Wed, 2002-10-23 at 22:34, Karen Lofstrom wrote: Hello all, I just subscribed to this list today.

He loaded SUSE 7.3 on it (all six gigs), handed me a few books on Linux system administration, and urged me to go for it. Going for it is harder than I thought. I'm still using my old Win98SE computer for most things, simply because that's where I have all my software and files. Both the Linux box and the Win98 box are connected to a KVM switch, so switching between boxes is fine as far as the keyboard, video, and monitor are concerned. However, the speakers, printer, scanner, and modem are all still hooked up to the Win98 box. I'm only using the Linux box for games. Sad misuse of the beast. I strongly believe in open source software and if I'm going to migrate from one OS to another, want to migrate from Win98SE to Linux, NOT to Win2k. But I'm not sure I'm ready for an abrupt jump. I'd lose too much. Like all my financial records, for one thing. I'm guessing that a number of the folks reading this list have done a similar migration, so I'm looking for strategies and things to avoid and suchlike. My current thought is that the optimal strategy would be to get DSL, a NAT, a network printer, and then network the two Windoze computers in the house (mine and my daughter's) through the Linux box. But since money is tight until I have a job (I'm a student at HCC right now) I'm wondering if there's any way I can do this without buying a network-capable printer and new network hardware.

Re: [luau] nfs and samba
Dave, if your goal is to use a single filesystem to share files between *nix and windows clients, it seems to me the most straightforward solution would be to just use samba. On the *nix side, you can use /etc/fstab to automagically mount samba shares upon boot (I think there was a post with syntax tips re: this a few weeks ago) or you can mount em on the fly via smbmount. I'm not sure how well smbmount is supported on Unix variants, although it is built-in with most Linux distributions. For the windows side of things, there are options in the smb.conf file that will auto sync PAM and smbpasswd passwords on your Linux box. samba for governor, Ho'ala On Mon, 2002-10-21 at 11:32, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm considering sharing a single filesystem using both nfs and samba.

[luau] Warchalking - Interesting!
http://www.secadministrator.com/articles/index.cfm?articleid=26207 This week, I encountered the relatively new trend called warchalking, which is related to war driving. War drivers use chalk to identify buildings that run wireless networks. According to what I've read, four men sitting at a pizza parlor in London developed warchalking, after at least one of them saw UK Architectural Association students design an office floor plan on the pavement. One of the men mentioned that hobos had once used symbols to pass along useful information, such as identifying houses at which they could get meals. The four men then decided that they could use a similar technique to identify unprotected wireless networks.

RE: [luau] RH 7.2 vs. 7.3 questions
Having worked for an email firm for several years in the Bay Area during the dot com explosion/implosion, it is my firm conviction that qmail is the best MTA out there. Secure, stable, hi-performance, and very scalable. To get a feeling for the power of qmail, consider these factoids: While Sendmail plods through a list of recipients delivering one message at a time, qmail spawns 20 or more deliviries at a time. And b/c qmail's processes are much smaller than Sendmail's, it can do more work faster, with fewer system resources. Further, Sendmail can lose messages in some of its delivery modes if the system crashes at the wrong time. For reliability, speed, and simplicity, qmail has one crash-proof delivery mode. Even if the system loses power with undelivered messages in the queue, once power is restored and the system is restarted, qmail will pick up where it left off without losing a single message. qmail guarantees that once it accepts a message, it won't be lost, barring catasrophic hardware failure. Furthermore, in 1997 qmail creator Dan Bernstein offered $500 to the first person who could find a security bug in qmail. As of today, August 2002, the offer still stands. Although a hassle at first, creating the qmail user accounts is fairly straightforward and is a one-time deal. Erich, as for your RedHat subscription question, you oughta check out KRUD - http://www.tummy.com/krud The August version of KRUD 7.3 is available for $7, while a year subscription will run you $65. It's a steal: you get monthly errata updates + an assortment of bonux packages that one would usually install by hand anyway (http://www.tummy.com/krud/index_html/body/packages). And no, they don't pay me to say that.
