http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#rlimitmem says:

"This applies to processes forked off from Apache children servicing requests, 
not the Apache children themselves. This includes CGI scripts and SSI exec 
commands, but not any processes forked off from the Apache parent such as 
piped logs."

Does that help?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is Apache2.2 FIPS compliant?

Please let me know if anybody have any idea of Apache2.2 being FIPS
compliant?

Thanks in advance

FIPS deals with encryption standards, not http service.  Certain
versions of OpenSSL are FIPS compliant, so as long as you use a
certified version of OpenSSL in Apache, I suppose you are compliant.

That's not completely true.

There is some requirement that the apps that use the cryptographic
modules use them in "the right way".  So its not just a matter of
slapping a certified OpenSSL in there.  Alas, I don't know specifics of
what "the right way" consists of...the office of our security-focused
guy that really knows this stuff shares a wall with mine, but its not
me, so I'm not up on all the specifics.

There were people working on a certified Apache httpd + OpenSSL. I'm
not sure what the result was, but searching the archives of the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list for FIPS will surely turn up something
useful.

By itself, no.  Apache does not do anything special for key management  
or access control to key material.  However, Apache can use a FIPS 140  
certified Hardware Security Module like nCipher's nShield card and use  
keys protected by its Security World.  This will make you FIPS 140-2  
Level 2 or 3 compliant.


Note: I work for nCipher.  Let me know if you'd like more information  
about using hardware-protected keys.

Yeah, I read that part.  But, I could always hope that the documentation was
wrong.  Haha.

This is just mind-numbingly annoying.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd 2.2.6 build problems on Solaris 10

2008-01-12 Thread Jerry K



I am having some problems building httpd 2.2.6 on Solaris 10.  I am 
using the Sun supplied gcc version 3.4.3, and GNU make ver 3.80.


I have build many httpd 2.0.xx's on this system, and am currently trying 
to move to the 2.2.x builds.


I did do some Yahoo and Google searches to RTFM.  I did turn up a couple 
of similar issues, but no one shared a resolution.


my make output is below.

TIA for any positive suggestions,

Jerry K
