[qmailtoaster] Re: patch utility under Fedora 13

2011-04-11 Thread Eric Shubert

Jake can answer you question best. He manages the patch files.

I gotta ask though, why F13? F14 is current, and F15 release is right 
around the corner (scheduled for 2011-05-24), which means that F13 will 
no longer be maintained in only a couple months (2011-06-24).
See 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle#Maintenance_Schedule


Fedora is generally not a good choice for a production server, due to 
its relatively short lifetime. CentOS is a more stable platform, and is 
recommended for production QMT use. CentOS5.6 just came out this past 
weekend, and will not reach end of life for another 3 years 
(2014-03-31). By then, Fedora will be up to release 20.


I think you get the picture.

At the same time, we do appreciate people who install QMT on Fedora, so 
we can get things like this worked out well in advance of them arriving 
in CentOS.


Thanks.

During the install process (amongst other things) the packages are

The patch utility uses the switch p0 and this fails, but p1 works

it fails on the new box:

  o the old box is Fedora release 12 (Constantine) 32bit
  o the new box is Fedora release 13 (Goddard) 64bit
* patch is ...

+ /usr/bin/patch -s -p0 --fuzz=0
/usr/bin/patch:  rejecting target file name with .. component:
../ucspi-tcp-0.88/error.h

I've been able to successfully compile by changing the switch to p1
+ /usr/bin/patch -s -p1 --fuzz=0

So do I need to mod all the srpms or is there something else ?


Thanks in advance

[qmailtoaster] Re: Perl Bot

2011-04-11 Thread Eric Shubert
I don't know the answer to your question off hand. The owner of the file 
would probably give a clue. Given that it's in the /tmp directory, I 
think that webmail would be a good guess.


Are you running your anti-virus program on mailboxes? Looking inside of 
archive file type attachments (.zip, etc)?

To All,
This is more of a general question in regards to attack against one
of our servers.

We have found that one server is continually being hit by Perl Bots.
Initially this machine was compromised, so we rebuilt from scratch and
altered any access via SSH, made sure the firewall was appropriate, etc.,
but we are still seeing instances of attack.  To combat these attacks we
have an Anti-Virus program running and it returns errors like to following.

A virus classified as 'Mal/PerlBot-A' was detected in the file '/tmp/dude'
when closing it at Sun Apr 10 03:08:29 2011 EST +2100 (2011-04-09 17:08:29
UTC).

What I want to know, is where these Bots come from.  Are they launched from
an Email when it is accessed via Webmail?  Or can they get to the server
through an IMAP account.

This machine is not running a web proxy, and the only we requirement is
Webmail (and Qmail Toaster management), so where are these coming from.

Any information would be appreciated.

Cheers
Mike Canty

[qmailtoaster] Automatic Account Expirations

I was looking at the script in the qmailtoaster wiki for Automatic account

with bash scripts.  Has anyone run this script on the list?  When I modify 
the script with my server info and run the script, it logs me into mysql and 
then stops.  when I press ctrl-c I get the following notice.

The command posted in your mail needs to be in one line. Apparently, you have a

 will no longer be maintained in only a couple months (2011-06-24).
 See

 Fedora is generally not a good choice for a production server, due to
 its relatively short lifetime. CentOS is a more stable platform, and
 is recommended for production QMT use. CentOS5.6 just came out this
 past weekend, and will not reach end of life for another 3 years
 (2014-03-31). By then, Fedora will be up to release 20.

 I think you get the picture.

 At the same time, we do appreciate people who install QMT on Fedora,
 so we can get things like this worked out well in advance of them
 arriving in CentOS.

 Thanks.


RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Perl Bot

2011-04-11 Thread Mike Canty
Eric,
Thanks for the response.

The Anti-Virus I am using is removing the files, as they are detected, so
it's a bit hard to tell.  They are actioned late at night, so we are not
looking then, however, something must be setting them there.

There is one text file still in the /tmp/ directory, that is infected and
this is owned by apache.  So is this a Webmail item?

-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 28026 Apr  9 22:18 dude.txt

Trying to cat the file brought back information from our AV

cat: dude.txt: Operation not permitted
[root@msrverpd tmp]# 
** Sophos Anti-Virus Alert ***
Virus Mal/PerlBot-A detected in file
/tmp/dude.txt.

Access to the file has been denied
Please contact your IT department.
**

At least we know we are protected.

As for the AV on the mailboxes, are you talking about the server side or the
client side?  We run Sophos AV on all clients.

 an Email when it is accessed via Webmail?  Or can they get to the server
 through an IMAP account.

 This machine is not running a web proxy, and the only we requirement is
 Webmail (and Qmail Toaster management), so where are these coming from.

 Any information would be appreciated.

 Cheers
 Mike Canty

Eric,
Thanks for the response.

The Anti-Virus I am using is removing the files, as they are detected, so
it's a bit hard to tell.  They are actioned late at night, so we are not
looking then, however, something must be setting them there.

There is one text file still in the /tmp/ directory, that is infected and
this is owned by apache.  So is this a Webmail item?

-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 28026 Apr  9 22:18 dude.txt


That's what it appears to be.

I'm a little surprised that clamav did not find this one. Do you have 
that turned off for some reason, or did it miss this? It's possible that 
if you got one in a mailbox that sneaked in before clamav had a 
signature for it, that every time it's opened by the user using webmail 
that it's putting the file back in the /tmp directory.


The filename dude.txt is a little suspicious to me though. I would 
expect SM to use some sort of unique name for an attachment, if that's 
what it is.


I'm thinking now that it's perhaps something not even coming from email. 
Could it be coming from apache via some other route? Do you have apache 
running anything besides the stock QMT stuff? Roundcube perhaps?



Trying to cat the file brought back information from our AV

cat: dude.txt: Operation not permitted
[root@msrverpd tmp]#
** Sophos Anti-Virus Alert ***
Virus Mal/PerlBot-A detected in file
/tmp/dude.txt.

Access to the file has been denied
Please contact your IT department.
**

At least we know we are protected.


That's good.


As for the AV on the mailboxes, are you talking about the server side or the
client side?  We run Sophos AV on all clients.


Server side. /home/vpopmail/domains/*/*/Maildir/* files, recursively.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Perl Bot

2011-04-11 Thread Mike Canty
Eric,
We do have clamav installed and operational, but I agree this could
be from something already in a mailbox.  When we configured this machine we
copied a lot of messages from POP accounts to IMAP.

The tmp directory also has m, m.1, m.2 as well as dude.txt and all
are infected.

If this is already here, obviously we cannot check it, but I need to make
sure we do not get any others.  So ClamAV should find them, correct.  Could
they arrive via Web anomaly?  We only have the Qmail-Toaster Admin and
Webmail active on this machine.

Cheers

[qmailtoaster] Squirrel Mail Error

2011-04-11 Thread Joel Eddy
I think I've figured out some of the error. I added the defaultdomain 
file to /home/vpopmail/etc to allow login without the need for the 
domain part. Which squirrel mail allows but when I try to send mail from 
squirrel mail it doesn't like it.


So the question is how to make squirrel mail work that way for my 
default domain?
