With the new chkconfig, --del removes all symlinks (like the old one) but, what changed is the service is removed from the services list provided by chkconfig!

You found an easy solution, not a good one. Anyone with sftp access now
has access to any world-readable file on the system, including your
password file (although it doesn't normally contain passwords, it does
contain a list of all valid users on your system).
I said that there was no way to chroot your users, and I meant it. Any
directory that is readable by your users is now retrievable. Any
directory that is writable is now open to a DOS attack - for example, if
I had an sftp account on your system, I could fill /tmp or /var/tmp. If
/var/tmp is not on a separate partition, I've just filled /var and
disabled all your incoming mail.

What kind of security are you after? What I've done for my office
server is to tightly manage the ftpaccess file. Files can only be
uploaded into specific directories for each user, and can only be
downloaded from other specific per-user directories. Once a file is
uploaded, it can not be downloaded unless someone here moves it.
Yes, ftp does transmit usernames and passwords in clear text - that
doesn't mean you ignore the protocol completely.
Another alternative is to use something like WebFTP - this is a web
interface to ftp so that you can use ftp between the file server and the
web server (and they could be the same box) and ssl to the end user.
I'm still testing a couple of clients and neither is perfect, but with
enough tweaking, they can be made to work securely.

You can't do what you want. ssh doesn't support a chrooted environment

mail relay - Newbie question - My brain just collapsed
Hi all, This is the very first time I attempt to install a smtp relay server, but I got insanely confused... %P I'd had been following the instructions on how to deploy the sendmail/mailscanner/f-prot combination and when telnetting the box's port 25 works just fine: queues the message, scans it and then relays to just my email server, my email server receives the message and I can read it with my client. GREAT Now the ugly part: My ISP has a DNS with my domain (ombudsman.gob.pe) which of course has an MX register. This register points to 200.37.247.3 which is my current email server (not the relay) I want the relay to filter all the incoming/outgoing email. How should I do this? Does the relay need to be the new 200.37.247.3? If so, how does the relay knows where to route the incoming mail? If the relay is NOT 200.37.247.3, how will it get the incoming mail? I can't get this clear with all this heat dissipation compound dripping out of my ears :-) Francisco ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: off topic: pipe to grep
Hi Keith
Thanks it worked like a charm. I should have been able to find this. I
ended up in a mind set-up, I didn't seem to be able to get out of.
I realize it is not the best way. It just sort of evolved. You should
have seen what it orginal looked like. :)

Paiz writes: It is true that Glen should never have been hacked three times, and that this fact alone shows carelessness or ignorance bordering on irresponsibility. It is also true that most of us are, at one time or Some things we need to get clear here: The first time I was hacked was on a remote Linux server I was leasing which was behind a firewall that I did not control. ...snip... I was in a similar position, last year. I leased a Cobalt RaQ3i. Many Cobalt boxes (running a customized version of RH 5.1, BTW.) were hacked - find an exploit in one Cobalt box and you can get into nearly all of the rest. The second time I was hacked, it was on my home system. I immediately wiped the computer and upgraded it as far as I could considering that the Red Hat installer no longer runs on 16 MB RAM. I TOTALLY understand Glen's defensiveness, here. This list is naturally a bit loyal to Red Hat, since we all are using it and have spent a considerable amount of time setting up and maintaining it. That said, RAM is CHEAP and has been for well over a year. A 256 MB PC100/133 chip has been around $50 for a very long time. IMO, using a computer with only 16 MB of RAM on it is completely unnecessary. Someone could literally save their pocket change for a few months and be able to purchase at least a 32 MB chip. Thus, Glen's argument on this point is feckless, as far as I'm concerned. The third time I was hacked WHOEVER HACKED ME FOUND A SECURITY HOLE IN EITHER NAMED OR SENDMAIL. THERE WERE NO OTHER PORTS ACTIVE. I HAD ONLY NAMED AND SENDMAIL RUNNING. ALL OTHER SERVICE PORTS WERE CLOSED. TELNET, INETD, and FTP WEREN'T EVEN INSTALLED. Both named and sendmail have had know exploits for some time. Regardless of the OS or distribution, we ALL have to keep updated on revisions or patches. Be glad that you are running Linux (or even Red Hat's version of it). Those poor MS people are downloading and installing patches almost daily - and that is not an exaggeration! Hackers (i.e. Crackers) are a very dedicated group. If you don't STAY current, you're screwed! It's just a question of when, and how bad, you're going to get hit. The only mistake I made was in remaining loyal to Red Hat after they adopted a policy to put out distributions that I can't install. I should have immediately dumped them. I know of NO OSes or distros that run WELL on 16 MB of RAM. Perhaps I'm ignorant of some esoteric Linux-based OS that will run on the technological equivalent of vacuum tubes. That's entirely possible, primarily because it seems so completely unnecessary to even consider such a thing. Updating server software is only the responsibility of the manufacturer (e.g. Red Hat) IF the consumer/user stays CURRENT with the version of their distribution (in this case, RH 7.3). Red Hat can't know what software a particular server is running without implementing some SERIOUS spyware on that same system. Nor should they be responsible for making any necessary updates or patches for free, when found. Just my rigid opinion.

Re: Linux box won't stop beeping [Fixed and boy do I feel silly]
So I rebooted the Linux box to check the BIOS settings per Matthew Melvin's suggestion but found nothing about an auditory warning. Since I had no further ideas and I couldn't stand the stupid beep any more; I shut down the Linux box, grabbed my screw driver, removed the power cord, and BEEP BEEP went the cordless phone that has been unplugged since October and which conveniently sits right next to the Linux box. Why the phone started beeping is beyond me. Since removing the phone's battery has been removed; there is a blissful lack of beeping around my computers. And that one guy thought my previous e-mail was amusing; I guess the joke is on him now. =) *sigh* It's been one of those weeks.

Re: mail relay - Newbie question - My brain just collapsed
Hello Francisco, What Mail Server are you running ? Thanks, Pieter - Original Message - From: Francisco Neira [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 10:15 PM Subject: mail relay - Newbie question - My brain just collapsed Hi all, This is the very first time I attempt to install a smtp relay server, but I got insanely confused... %P I'd had been following the instructions on how to deploy the sendmail/mailscanner/f-prot combination and when telnetting the box's port 25 works just fine: queues the message, scans it and then relays to just my email server, my email server receives the message and I can read it with my client. GREAT Now the ugly part: My ISP has a DNS with my domain (ombudsman.gob.pe) which of course has an MX register. This register points to 200.37.247.3 which is my current email server (not the relay) I want the relay to filter all the incoming/outgoing email. How should I do this? Does the relay need to be the new 200.37.247.3? If so, how does the relay knows where to route the incoming mail? If the relay is NOT 200.37.247.3, how will it get the incoming mail? I can't get this clear with all this heat dissipation compound dripping out of my ears :-) Francisco ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

upgrading a floppyless / cdromless system
Hi, many moons ago, there was a solution posted here for upgrading a cdromless / floppyless system. (Last August, thread title Floppy-less, CDROM-less RH7.1 INSTALL). Gordon Messmer gave the best answer, using an existing dos partition and loadlin. I recently wanted to upgrade an embedded router running Linux RH7.2 to RH7.3, so I dug up the article, and started from there. In my case, the network card I have in the router is not on the netboot.img image, but IS on the drvnet drivers floppy. Little good that does you if you don't have a floppy though. However, the process of updating the initrd image to integrate an extra network (or other) module is fairly painless (if not initially obvious), so I though I would post a step-by-step procedure here, in the hopes that this will be useful to someone else. Enjoy, - Floppyless / cdromless upgrade for Linux (or How I Upgraded my embedded device, which has no floppy/cdrom) This document describes the relatively painless process of upgrading a device (laptop/embedded/etc) that has no floppy/cdrom. Assumption: There is an installed working Linux OS, any version, any Distro. Assumption: You have a Linux supported network device. The details given here are for upgrading from X (X can be any Linux distro) to Y (Y can be any Linux distro). The examples used herein are given for RedHat - other distros will probably be quite similiar.) The distro you are upgrading to needs to have a bootable NFS (or FTP or HTTP) floppy. This is a prerequisite. 1) Mount the disc1 cd, and locate the boot floppy image for the NFS (or FTP or HTTP), and also the floppy that contains additional network drivers. For RedHat distributions, the files will be: /mnt/cdrom/images/bootnet.img /mnt/cdrom/images/drvnet.img You will definately need the bootnet.img file. You might or not need the drvnet.img file (depends on whether or not the bootnet floppy contains the driver for your network card). 2) the bootnet.img is a floppy image, and can be mounted as follows. You need to copy 2 files from it. # mount -r -o loop bootnet.img /mnt/floppy/ # cp /mnt/floppy/initrd.img . # cp /mnt/floppy/vmlinuz . # umount /mnt/floppy 3) If your network card is one of: 3c59x 3Com 3c590/3c595/3c90x/3cx980 8139too RTL8139, SMC EZ Card Fast Ethernet eepro100 Intel EtherExpress Pro 100B ne2k-pci PCI NE2000 clones pcnet32 AMD PCnet32 tulip DEC 21040, most 21*40 Ethernet Then you are almost done. Skip to step 12. If your NIC is not listed above, you will need to copy your network driver from the drvnet.img image, and integrate it into a modified initrd.img file. Proceed with steps 4 thru 11. 4) The initrd.img file is a compression of a ext2fs file system. The drvnet.img is an uncompressed ext2fs file system, You need to mount both of these and copy/update the initrd.img with files from the drvnet.img image. # mkdir /mnt/drvnet # mkdir /mnt/initrd # mv initrd.img initrd.img.gz # gzip -dc initrd.img.gz initrd.img # mount -t ext2 -o loop initrd.img /mnt/initrd # mount -t ext2 -r -o loop drvnet.img /mnt/drvnet 5) There are 3, possibly 4, files which need to be updated on initrd. They are: /mnt/initrd/modules/module-info /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.cgz /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.dep /mnt/initrd/modules/pcitable modules.dep probably does not need to be updated, unless your NIC driver has dependencies (in which case you need to copy/integrate not only the NIC driver, but the dependency modules as well). 6) know your NIC driver. In the below example, where I use natsemi you should use your driver instead. 7) update /mnt/initrd/modules/pcitable as follows: # grep natsemi /mnt/drvnet/pcitable /mnt/initrd/modules/pcitable I do not know if pcitable needs to be ordered or not. It is presently sorted, so I vi'ed the file, and moved the new (last) entry into a sorted position. (the purists will use sort to sort the file :) 8) update /mnt/initrd/modules/module-info as follows: # cp /mnt/drvnet/modinfo . # vi modinfo then delete the lines above and below the entry for your driver. In the case of natsemi, this is what is left: # cat modinfo natsemi eth NatSemi DP83815 Fast Ethernet note that there are 3 lines in the file. Integrate this into /mnt/initrd/modules/module-info as follows: # cat modinfo /mnt/initrd/modules/module-info (this file does not need to be sorted). 9) check if your module is in /mnt/drvnet/modules.dep - if it is, you need to note down the dependencies, and you need to add the dependency lines to /mnt/initrd/modules/modules.dep (use grep and to do the
