[SLUG] Can I be comfortable with this log message
I run my own web server and have done so for a number of years. The OS is Mandriva Server 3 which is now 3 years old but still supported and I keep it fully patched and up to date. I receive the security advisories and act within hours on those. I have recently updated OpenSSH. I am planning to change to CentOS 5.1 in a few weeks. My router only has the necessary ports open for mail, ssh and web. FTP is blocked and the service does not run on the box. I run ssh through a non standard port (externally) and use normal password authentication. The ssh config file does not allow root logons and through hosts allow/deny, only my work ip address and internal network addresses are allowed access. The ip based access has been tested and is known to work. My passwords are strong and changed every six weeks. The system uses msec which trolls the folders and changes permissions back to defaults on critical files/folders every one minute. I run logwatch and read the report diligently each day. Msec also delivers a report daily on files which have changed and ports which have been opened/closed. Over the last year or so I have had appear a few times, the following message in my logs and which has caused me concern. 1 possible successful probes /long_path_to_file/../../../etc/passwd HTTP Response 200 With the environment (described above) in place, should I be worried or should I be confident that I have taken every precaution I can take?

Re: [SLUG] Can I be comfortable with this log message
Sounds like you are being very thorough in your security. If you want to add another layer of defense, you can change your Apache config to forbid download of the passwd file. If your /etc/passwd file was really downloaded, it is conceivable a password could be cracked, but you limit connections to just a couple of addresses. If I were in your place, I wouldn't be too worried about this message, but I'd take measures to make sure my passwd file was not downloadable.

Rick where do you keep the gold? My system sounds like yours: www, mail, ssh on non standard, no root login. I made a complete disk backup on install (A WD raptor failed after 3 years (warranty :-), so the backup was pressed into service) But passwords are untouched after 5 years, updates happen 1 or 2 per year, no other restrictions are enforced. I sleep easy, knowing that worst-case is a disk swap and some pondering, and I've 5 years of lolling on the beach while you fret over the logs ... Of course if you're having fun then do enjoy.

NOT TRUE. Nothing in /etc/passwd mentions *passwords* in any vaguely modern distro, specially mandrake 3 ond CentOS 5.1. (ref /etc/shadow) Giving passwd to the bad guys lets them try 'keith and james' instead of taking a punt on 'fred and bill'. That is the reason for no root login the name 'root' is a certain hit.

[SLUG] OpenRG v's m0n0wall
Hi folks, can someone offer an educated opinion on the benefits/disadvantages of OpenRG's firewall over m0n0wall and/or vice versa pls. I have the choice of either sticking with a Linksys RV082 (which apparently runs OpenRG) or moving to a m0n0 based firewall. I know m0n0 is highly regarded, but have yet to find any community opinions on OpenRG (Only commercial reviews which focus on the whole as opposed to the firewall). Does someone here have any experience pls? -- Kind Regards Kyle -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Thanks Re: Disk Full Message
Thanks to all that provided suggestions and advice. I learned quite a lot from your comments. Problem however was due to errant line in /etc/mtab - once line was removed, there was no longer a problem - its apparently a know problem wit Ubuntu. Thanks again Bill -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Thanks Re: Disk Full Message
Bill, No worries. Any chance of letting the list know what the errant line was?
