Turba and LDAP

[Francisco Neira]

Hi all

Someone with experience installing turba with LDAP access could help me?

I'd been following (i guess) the instructions with turba but when I do 
the patching of core.schema appears the following:

1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file core.schema.rej

Help in Google is nearly *none* and to make matters worse, I'm totally 
"n00b" with LDAP.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

the answer is always the squirrelmail login page (login.php). But if i

the home page (of www.domain.com <http://www.domain.com>) perfectly.
 
Anyone can help me?

Look for the DirectoryIndex directive in httpd.conf

Better refrain from using telnet. Use ssh instead.

Re: Linux equivalent of Solaris BSM?

Is there a function within Linux, without having to resort to a

Forgive both my ignorance and pedanticism. but I think I also have a
suggestion that will be useful.
Ignorance: I don't know what BSM is, but given your description I will
make a guess.
Pedandic: No, there is no such function in Linux, but Linux, per se,
is just the kernel, and the kernel doesn't even include a shell.
However, the Red Hat distribution of Linux, in addition to a kernel,
does include a shell, and lots of other useful stuff.
Suggestion: Tripwire (included in Red Hat) might be useful.  It does
cryptographic checksums of anything you tell it to check, and then on
a cron task will let you know if any of them change.
Downside: There is a commercial version of Tripwire that I haven't
played with, and the free version, as Red Hat ships it, isn't very
usable out of the box, the default policy file complains far too much.
You also still need to figure out your procedures for how to manage OS
updates and matched updated Tripwire checking to not accidentally let
something nasty slip in
Finally: To be really paranoid you want to do all your Tripwire
checking offline, booting from a read-only medium such as a CD with a
copy of the Knoppix Linux on it.  That way you don't need to trust the
very system you are trying to check.  Except Knoppix Linux doesn't
include Tripwire--not all Linux distributions are the same.  (See
"Pedantic" above.)  

I have been slowly working out these issues in my spare time, such as
remastering Knoppix to include Tripwire, but am not finished.

Another option is SE-Linux by the NSA guys (yeap! *that* NSA) AFAIK,

If you disable sendmail in rc3.d or rc5.d, does it disable it 
completely? Or does it just disable it's ability to receive mail, but 
will still send mail when needed?

Paul



It disables completely.
If you want to forbid mail reception, try iptables, maybe something like 
this:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -d $YOURIP -j REJECT

since you are not denying connections *to* 25 of other hosts you still 
could send email.

Hope this helps

Usually that error message appears when PHP doesn't have the MySQL
module included.
Try this:


save this as a php program and try to run it. You should be able to see
in the output if the MySQL module is included there or not.
Good luck

I had similar problem: Server reset at random times.
1. Discard RAM problems with memtest
2. Look at /var/log/messages
3. Check if internal fans are working properly
In my case #3 was the problem. After thoroughly cleaning the server, i
had no more server resets.
Hope this helps

Hi James,

If the DNS server is inside your LAN, it will only be accessible
locally. Therefore, the information you place in it will be just for
your intranet.

Additionally, you can configure your local DNS server also as a
dns-cache so your workstations ask your DNS server first. If your DNS
"knows" the answer will resolve immediately, otherwise will "ask" to the
external DNS servers.

I read the BIND howto at http://langfeldt.net/DNS-HOWTO/BIND-9/

Hope this helps.

Hi,

So, if you have some time to get ready, you should check this out
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba.html it's, IMHO, a
very interesting tutorial to learn how/why to deploy a samba server as a
~ M$ network primary domain controller.

Hope this helps,

Maybe you just need to unload ipchains and load iptables support. This
is done with:
rmmod ipchains
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables start

I had being keeping aside the thread, but a similar situation seems to
be happening here in Peru. In December 2001, March and May 2002 a
peruvian congressman proposes a bill to replace the proprietary software
by open software in the public sector.

This started a "flame war" between the manager of Microsoft Peru (
http://www.gnu.org.pe/mspemail.html)(English translation) and the
congressman (http://www.gnu.org.pe/resmseng.html) (English translation),
even though the American Chamber of Commerce in Lima
(http://www.gnu.org.pe/text-amcham.html)(Spanish) , and the former
American Ambassador
(http://www.gnu.org.pe/lobbyusa-congreso.html)(Spanish fax) declared
that this action "could slow down the international cooperation that
Peru receives".

Finally, our president traveled to Seattle, had a meeting with Gates,
received a donation of computers and software for US$500,000 and the
bill for open software was flushed down in the toilet.

Hi Kevin,
Well you just needed to change the first one (initdefault) from 5 to 3.
The "respawn" line should remain unchanged to 5.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK, POP3 is not implicit in the
sendmail install. You should install POP3 daemon (which listens in 110)
separately.

Also verify with netstat -an if there's :110 port listening

Please read the INSTALL file for Postfix. It is NOT necessary to rpm -e

Migration from Novell Groupwise to mozilla MUA

[Francisco Neira]

Hi all

I am running a Postfix/AMaViS email system as evaluation and seems to 
work good enough to start migrating my Novell Groupwise 5.5 users to 
Mozilla MUA.

The fact is that nearly all users have "archived" messages locally in 
their hard disks. The GWise client only allows to export messages with 
.MLM estension and one-by-one.

I've done some research and .MLM is a WordPerfect 6 format. This is all 
I got. Somebody knows how can I migrate the whole bulk of archived 
messages to say a flat text file that could ideally be read by Mozilla 
as a local folder?

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

This is part of a thread of a problem I posted to the list. If you have 
128 MB you could try: append="mem=112M@16M"

Good luck

OFF Topic question

[Francisco Neira]

Hi Ivette,

We are subscribed to the same RedHat list.
Excuse me but I have an off-topic question for you: Are you or your 
relatives peruvian? Specifically from Iquitos?

I had a friend that is homonimous to you but AFAIK she was still living 
in Iquitos, Perú.

Andreas,

You are right. I overlooked that the the rejection was from a Source 
port 53 to a Dest port 62408. The packet that received the "port 
unreachable" is an answer, not a request!

Trying to block Slapper, huh?

1.- You don't need to do anything after. It will take effect immediately.
2.- Apply the rule ALSO for OUTPUT since udp  traffic will be originated 
from the port 2002 of your server.

Hope this helps.

The testing procedure you used is absolutely correct.

That's probable. Type "ipchains -L" or "iptables -L" to verify if there 
is some filtering.

Now edit the /etc/inittab file. Change 5 with 3 at the line that says: 
id:5:initdefault

typing "init 6" will reset the box and from now on it will just load 
until the text mode. Anytime you want it to load X just type "init 5"

Reconfiguration is done usually with xf86config or Xconfigurator

Installed RAM <> kernel-recognized RAM

[Francisco Neira]

Hi all,

Taking a closer look to the output of "free" and "top" on a Compaq 
Proliant 3000 (oldie), noted that the kernel is reporting just about 
16MB instead of the 256MB recognized by the BIOS at POST.

My first action was to make some changes in lilo.conf (and running lilo, 
of course). I 'd placed the well known append="mem=256M" in different 
lines of lilo.conf with no luck.

As a desperate measure typed linux mem=256M at the "boot:" prompt with 
no avail: free always report 16MB :-(

RedHat 7.1, original kernel version.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Regards

Seems that you might have 40GB of free space but perhaps in other 
partition. Try "df -h" from the command line and take note of any  of 
the partitions nearly full. I guess that you should look for old log 
files in /var/log and delete them.

Hi,

AFAIK, this is done modifying the inittab file so there is a spawning of 
mingetty (or was getty?) in the device /dev/ttyS0 (eg). mingetty will 
grant a login to the serial port 0.

Hi all,

Well, in fact I received the "Don't panic" message from logwatch this 
morning. After checking Google I found that the message is a signature 
left by scanssh as noted in 
http://www.der-keiler.de/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/incidents/2001-12/0244.html 


So I took the following actions:
0. Identified the originating IP
1. downloaded, compiled and installed the latest version of ssh.
2. portscanned the IP (just to make him/her know)
3. iptables denying all traffic from that IP range.

Are these actions OK, paranoid or just plain futile?

Re: Which rpms on which CD?

[Francisco Neira]

What I did is generate 2 txt files with the contents of each CD:
   rpm -qipl /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS >RHdisk_1

I know the files are big, but they are handy when I need a specific file inside an RPM

Hope this helps

I am only a part time RH user (mostly SuSE), but I wanted to take a look
at the new 7.3.

After I completed the initial install, I wanted to go back and add a few
other packages.  Is there any RH tool or way to do this other than
mounting each CD and browsing the RedHat/RPMS directory to find what you
want?

Also, I noticed that some php rpms are on CD2 and some are on CD3.  Is
there any RH tool to handle the dependencies between rpms (other than
rpm error messages when you try to install one)?

I was quite impressed with 7.3 installer and it detected all of my
hardware without a problem (except my winmodem).  There is a nice
selection of software and the inclusion of CUPS and Postfix (with the
switch scripts) resolved my biggest issues with older versions.

Re: "localhost" in sendmail banner

[Francisco Neira]

Don't know where else I should change it: hosts, HOSTNAME, sendmail.cf, 
/etc/mail/domaintable, /etc/mail/access... The box even has its own DNS MX entry.

Can't test telnetting to 110 since the box only has SMTP for relay but telnetting to 
21 (I know, I know) replies with localhost.localdomain (gr)

I guess I'm overlooking something really basic but I can't realise what it is...

Francisco

"localhost" in sendmail banner

[Francisco Neira]

Hi all,

It has been a lng weekend wrestling with sendmail . :-) 
Now I am trying to replace the "localhost.localdomain" in the welcome banner of the 
smtp daemon. How can I do this without messing with .mc and m4? Could this be 
generating bounces? I guess it could

Re: mail relay - Newbie question - My brain just collapsed

[Francisco Neira]

Thanks a lot for the answer. I am applying it right now (crossed fingers :-) )
Also, I considered the following: There are two instances of sendmail running, the 
first one listening,  receiving the mail and placing it on a directory, and the other 
picking the mail from the "checked" directory and forwarding it to the final recipient.

I _guess_ that I should load this two instances with different sendmail.cf files, 
where the SECOND one reads the modded mailertable file as you suggested. 

Am I right? Well, I'll try it ;-)

Regards

You could try this - setup your relay as 200.37.247.3. Give your mail server
another ip address - usually an internal ip address - using sendmail on the
mail relay - add the fqdn or ip address of the e-mail server in the
mailertables file in this format -
 ombudsman.gob.pe   esmtp:[FQDN or ip of e-mail
server]
.ombudsman.gob.pe  esmtp:[FQDN or ip of e-mail
server]

build your mailer tables db using makemap command and add appropriate
entries in access file and build your access db. On the mail server - add
the fqdn or ip address of the relay in the SMART_HOST directive in sendmail.

For filtering messages use Trend Interscan virus wall with e-manager for
filtering spam !!

mail relay - Newbie question - My brain just collapsed

[Francisco Neira]

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 
:-)

Re: AntiVirus For Email?

I am testing AMaViS with F-Prot over Postfix. No good results yet.  amavis is invoked

Mailscanner is another option, with the spam control as a plus, unfortunately doesn't

I'm working on installing SpamAssassing (http://www.spamassassin.org) for 
the spam problem, but I have yet to figure out how to easily do virus 
scanning or, better yet, find a document that *tells* me how to do it.

The Linux camp is constantly getting better, but the documentation needs 
work (never met a good programmer who was also a good documenter).

Re: [REDHAT] Mail Scanner

[Francisco Neira]

Hi all,

I'd been looking for the same. I has been told that the sendmail + mailscanner + 
f-prot recipe does the virus-scanning and spam-filtering jobs nicely. I am 
experimenting on this field since my experience (little) with email systems subscribes 
to Novell Groupwise.

In fact, I am trying to apply the previous recipe in a Linux box and set it between my 
Groupwise mail server and the Net since Groupwise does not allows the kind of 
filtering I need.

Any suggestions/tips/hints will be highly appreciated!

A singularly unhelpful response, David. Clearly the guy hasn't a clue and 
is looking for pointers on how to get started; a one-word answer (and a 
cryptic one at that) does him no good.

Procmail is not a virus scanner; it can be used for such a purpose if one 
finds on the Internet a set of recipes that scan for common virii but that 
is *not* its original purpose. Since you failed or neglected to even 
mention finding recipes, God forbid actually give the guy a URL, likely all 
you will do is confuse him.

Could you perhaps add a little detail, so your efforts to help him may be 
more successful?
