The bind website is here http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/ but I would do a search of google. Although, some think that BIND is hard to configure and unsecure... I thought it was fairly easy and it has been secure for our company. Just recently, we started name serving all of our domains names (they were name served by our registrar) and the setup was so easy that I was convinced I had it wrong. Worked like a charm. Is in rpms. Also I just tried to use redhat-config-bind and setup a slave (backup) name server with it so quickly it was amazing. The process litterally went ly this: Installed RPM, ran redhat-config-bind, configured my slave (hit a couple of buttons, and entered an ip to the master), saved it, exited redhat-config-bind. And my slave was working. Next time I might try the redhat-config-bind to admin my current master... just haven't yet. Also chrooting named is fairly easy. HTH There is also djb-dns and there website is here: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html if you need (or have time to compare). I installed it once but ultimately stuck with BIND... not sure why as it has been awhile. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

After joining the BIND list I was able to ascertain that I had in fact
been successful with the setup of my domain names. Yeah!

Being the Master of multiple domains
RH9
Have many domain names and I would like to be the master zone for them.
The problem is I cant seem to put my brain around this. I have tried
adding an additional zone to my dns (which serves a local only zone for
our intranet).
This is the zone file I added:
-snip-
$TTL3H
@ IN SOA example.com root.mpn (
20030904; serial
8H ; refresh
2M ; retry
4W ; expiry
1D ); minimum
;
NS nameserver.mpn ; Inet address of ns
MX 10 mail4; primary ms
;
;---
mailA 192.168.10.4
smtpA 192.168.10.4
www A 204.251.10.215
;---
-snip-
and then the named.conf I add:
-snip-
zone "example.com" IN {
type master;
notify no;
file "example.com.zone";
};
-snip-
When I add this everything seems to work (ie testing with dig gives the
proper response and authority), but I just don't feel like I get it. Am
I doing this the correct way? I have a bunch to add so I want to be
sure.
Note: The .mpn is the TLD for the intranet which has been working great.

while expect is a grand tool, this is one area that continues to
frustrate me. I think that the solution is in the expect{} statement
for that logout portion of the script. I cant remember specifically how
I have dealt with that kind of problem, but try adjusting timeout
variable prior to the logout expect{}. Also might have expect look for
eof. The other possibility is that the session is closed prior to
getting to the logout. Also set log_user to 1 to see all the output.

There are scripts that can help you do this but still you need to address the policy file by looking at it and deciding what you want to do. I have so many systems that run tw that I change the hostname to match the real host name, so my db is like: .twd rather than the localhost localdomain thing. So to answer your question, a script (search list archives, or wait for a response with one) works great at removing non-existing files, but you still should spend the time creating an accurate twpol file. I just got done doing a RH80 install and I ran a quick script to comment out those pesky files. Then I spent about a half hour going over each section and adding and deleting to match what my system really is and/or the way I want it reporting. Once you get your policy file they way you want it you can re-institute the new twpol with "-m p ". Then move all text versions of twpol and twcfg files off the system. This leaves only encrypted files in its place. I back up my twd files once a week and have used these when a corruption has taken place. Once you get the tw thing working you will feel naked and exposed without it on a system. by the way your process, while I don't advocate not spending time creating a accurate policy file, is flawed: -m i -m c -m u This is because -m u works off an existing report that is created by -m c! However, again this will not accurately show you your system and files still will appear. Spend the time on the policy. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Logwatch not watching
RH80 Can not figure out why logwatch isn't producing any reports. There is a link in /etc/daily pointing to /etc/lod.d/logwatch which points to /etc/log.d/scripts/logwatch.pl I can run the script like cd /etc/log.d ./logwatch --print and I get no output. So I drill down deeper: ./logwatch --service sshd --print and still nothing. Adding a --debug med gives me indication that it is Inside the SSHD filter but that's it as far as output is concerned. I check the logfile /var/log/secure and there is sshd entries from yesterday and today. I tried --range today which gives nothing either. I check permissions and most all log.d stuff is root:root 644 or 755. Noticed that it wasn't working because root doesn't get the daily emails. It does get emails from tripwire, but because this doesn't display any data when run with the print I don't think it is emailing. So I'm not sure what to try to get this working or even what to look at next. Google wasn't helpful either. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

SMB network share to Linux
RH73 We one last MS server (well 2 really) which is the PDC. It has network storage shared from a raid device attached to the system. The problem is one of the drives is failing. Further we can't get the backup drive to respond. It's a RAID 5, so it will continue to operate after failure for a bit but I'm not waiting for that. I had a plan to move the network storage to a RH73 system so the time is now. So setting up a SMB network share and copying over all the data doesn't look like a big deal here, but I wanted to do sanity check first. Have re-read the most of the samba documentation and think I have an idea of what needs to be done. I thought I would ask... If anyone has migrated a Windows share to Linux was there anything that I should know prior to doing the move? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RE: bash scripting newbie and security...
Stone, Timothy wrote:
-
I'm writing down ideas for, and seeking help with, a bash script. This
script will perform at least two SCP connections to Windoze boxes running an
OpenSSH service (www.networksimplicity.com). I have some questions and I'm
also concerned about how this script should run, as root or as someother
user (a user to be created or an exisiting one). I would like some comments
and ideas on my current path as I'm a bash script newbie.
The idea is that I will publish a website to my staging server (running RHL
7.3) from my development box. A cronjob will run at 6AM and 6PM each day
that will SCP the staging docroot to the production boxes.
I may be over thinking the security part since the staging server itself
resides in a relatively secure room (limited physical access). And I'm the
only one on the staging server because my coworkers are all MCSE
Linux-phobes. I run a regular user and sudo everything needing root
permission. However, I don't want the script to freely editable that a crack
could SCP a different "docroot"... oh, the ugliness.
Ideas and questions:
?? 755 permissions... root only read/write/exec, everyone else read/exec
the SCP -oIdentityFile switch to eliminate password in script
?? how to "block" while one SCP process completes before init the next one;
exit code strategy of some sort I think.
?? how to write to an exit code file for reporting; possibly eMail? I'm not
running a SMTP/POP server on the staging box so how is this accomplished? I
need to tell the script about an MTA someplace... possibly my network's
Exchange box.
the cronjob part I got.
-
Permissions you should get then! I got those long before I got cron.
But anyway, you could lock down the script to just the user you want running
it (like 700 or 750).
You could use Key Pair authentication in your ssh calls and eliminate any
passwords in scripts.
I would use perl for your process control and exit code strategy. tcl with
expect would be great for this too. However the basic idea is to try and
catch errors in the calls to scp:
if (scpcall) {print error then exit}
Again perl is great for the smtp stuff. Doesn't really matter what smtp
server it is (as long as you have access and it will relay your messages. I
use Net::SMTP for something like what your describing.

Oh if you must be ruff then... Anyway here is the issue: On the server I have utilize the migration tools to get user and group data into my ldap database. This went very well after some tinkering. I did a regeneration of my pem cert with utilizing the Makefile in ssl/cert subdirectory which creates a key and then self signs it. Then corrected the permissions and restarted ldap server. Cool so far. However, I don't know if I understand what is going on with the SSL/TLS stuff. I think my SSL/TLS stuff is working because I can do the following: ldapsearch -x -H ldaps:// -b 'dc=,dc=' '(uid=)' and if I look at 'tcdump -q host ' while running the above command I see that my connection is to/from ldaps (port 636). However, just running the above command without the '-H ldaps://' I see (with the above tcpdump command) that my connection is to/from ldap (port 389). If I put 'HOST ldaps://' into the /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file and then run above command (again without the -H stuff) I get a connection error and tcpdump shows some funky port (sorry cant remember right now, but I though it said the port was domain). So one more thing, first I put 'HOST ' into the /etc/openldap/ldap.conf then I tried the following: ldapsearch -x -ZZ -b 'dc=,dc=' '(uid=)' and a tcpdump (like above) shows to/from ldap (port 389). Hmm... But I did notice that the data started coming back after a slight delay. So I did the following 2 commands with the following results: time ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=,dc=' '(uid=)' real 0m0.255s and time ldapsearch -x -ZZ -b 'dc=,dc=' '(uid=)' real 0m1.038s Yep did it multiple times and picked one that was ave. So it seems that something else is going on when using -ZZ. Could it be a SSL/TLS encrypted channel being set up? If I use the pam_ldap to authenticate from my ldap server how do I make sure that it's done over SSL/TLS?
