Re: [SLUG] Learning about security.
Hi Steve, Common sense is the simplest and most overlooked form of security. HOWTO ones, what mechanisms might someone have for getting in, especially if I am running server programs on that same machine? Learn about the ports that the services use, ie POP 110, SMTP 25 etc. keep the ports closed on the services that you are not using. Can someone spoof the interface? I wouldn't think so (but also wouldn't know!) Or can they spoof an established connection? Spoof or sniff? Spoofing is where steals an IP, yours or anyone elses to get access, sniff is when someone evesdrops on you. If you are worried about people sniffing, use data encryption SSL etc. Dont use Telnet, use SSH Also, can anyone recommend any good 'across the board' security books,i.e covering the other major OS(es) as well? Typical attacks, how to avoid them and system design/implementation considerations? "Hacking Exposed" has been touted as one option. Opinions? I dont really think that having a vast knowledge of specific attacks can help you very much. The three things to remember are: Proper configuration (ie only run what you use) Proper policy Keep all your software up to date! Best online info: www.CERT.org Good book: Security Complete (Sybex) it covers most OSs and is very reasonably priced $40 luck, ~dec Steve Downing wrote: I'd like to expand on my security skills, it's definately an important topic. One quick question, if my iptables rules are like rusty's Netfilter HOWTO ones, what mechanisms might someone have for getting in, especially if I am running server programs on that same machine? In a nutshell those rules are: Drop on the ppp0 interface, unless the packet is flagged as a established or related connection. Accept new connections on any interface but ppp0.

Re: [SLUG] Linux stores in Penrith
No idea where it is but have you tried www.everythinglinux.com.au - it's they are in Fivedock ... but they do mailorder. I think that they are your best bet. Some computer 'corner shops' will download it and burn it to cd for you... I recomend that you get the 7 CD official Debian distro from Everything linux... it is only $25. ~dec Phil Scarratt wrote: No idea where it is but have you tried www.everythinglinux.com.au - it's in Sydney somewhere.

Re: [SLUG] Help with Installing Red Hat 7.3
do u really need to have everything on one box?? i m no expert myself but wouldn't it be better to split up the required functionalities over several boxes?? The easiest thing to do is put the SQL server on a separate server, but this is not cost effective under 100 000 users. When you get up to past 500 000 you should separate the web server from the SMTP server as well. But, SQL is fast, the web code all runs under mod_perl and mod_gzip and @Mail usually uses Exim which talks to mySQL as is fast as well. You should not have a problem with one dedicated server. ~dec -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
