Ubuntu Security :: Removing 'trusted' Keys Ssh?

Feb 19, 2010

I've installed the ssh server on my Ubuntu desktop and the very first time I accessed the server from my laptop, it got a message asking me whether to permanently add the key of the server. After I added this, it gave me a message saying that the key had been permanently added. My question is how do I remove this key? I just want to know how to do this because I'm going to disable password based logins and I want to start anew.

Fedora Security :: System Is Continuously Hang When Log To Yahoo Webpage?

Dec 6, 2009

i am afraid that some one palying in my fedora 12 system , " hacked " first i got this message when i log to my broadband internet provider

Quote: You have asked Firefox to connect securely to ******, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure. Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

Fedora Networking :: Add Custom Trusted Services To Firewall?

Jan 20, 2010

I'd like to have an easy way to configure firewall, e.g. eable/disable what mythtv needs, or enable/disable what mediatomb needs. Basically open/close a few tcp and/or udp ports for all interfaces (I have two), or just one of them.

Is there a way to add my own trusted services for the firewall?

Other recommended ways to do that? Or just write a simple shell script?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Creating Trusted Connection Between Machines For Shared Accou

Jan 20, 2011

I tried to create trusted connection between two machines (named "master" and "node1") for shared account, but no luck. what I had done are as follows:

1.create user account "tester" in "master"
2.set NFS server configuration to have RW for /home/tester for "node1"
3.create user account "tester" without creating home dir in "node1" with same userID and groupID as the one in "master"
4.create dir "homester" in "node1" and mount to "master" (mount -t nfs master:/home/tester /home/tester).in master node: ssh-keygen -t rsa
5.generate authorized_keys in "node1" (details not shown)

but it is not working, if I don't use home/tester as shared dir, and two machines have their own /home/tester , the trusted connection gets created and scp works fine. can we create trusted connection for shared account, if yes, how and did I do miss anything.

Fedora :: Cannot Login After Security Update

Sep 13, 2009

Yesterday, I updated my system with the latest security update and other software updates. Following the update, I am not able to log into the system after restart.As usual, I was prompted with the login page which looks as per normal. I chose my login id and entered my password. It brings me briefly to my desktop showing only my wallpaper (without any upper and bottom taskbars/panels). Then the screen went blank and the login page appeared again.I entered the login id and password, was shown the desktop wallpaper, screen went blank and the login page appeared. This continues over and over and over. After multiple tries and with some luck, I am able to log in as per normal.What seems to be the problem?

1. How do I check the system for errors?
2. How do I check which update has been updated?
3. Is there any way for me to restore to its original state (I migrated from FC10 to FC11 via yum update)?

The only other change apart from the security update is that I installed wine - which has been uninstalled the moment I was able to re-logged in.I attach the details of my grub.conf file below which I hope could be of some useful info.

Fedora Security :: Login Prevented, First In X And Then In VT?

Aug 18, 2010

I have had two instances recently where I was unable to log in to my computer with uid 500, but I could log in as root. In the first case, I could log in as user 500 to virtual terminals (ctrl-alt-F2, etc) but I could not log in to X. I found that, in the file /etc/pam.d/password-auth-acthere was an extra line that read"accountrequiredpam.access.so"I did not put that line there. When I removed the line, I could log in fine.In the other case, I could log in as user 500 to X, but could not log in to virtual terminals as user 500 (but could as root). I found that, in the file/etc/pam.d/system-auth-acThere was the same extra line as above. And again, I did not put it there, but when I removed it the problem was solved and I could log in to virtual terminals as user 500.I would like to find out, step by step, what happens when I enter my username and password in either a virtual terminal or in X. The login info must be passed to something that checks some files and then lets me in or not. How does that work?

I know this is probably easy and if I only took a while to figure it out maybe I could but I have some stuff that needs to happen soon and I can't figure this out. I was wondering how I could have a log monitor that would email me whenever someone tries to login over ssh to my system. I'm open to everything daemons/scripts or cron itl works as I am not running a production server (but I might be starting that soon).

Fedora Security :: SSH Key Based Login Not Working On F11

Jul 20, 2009

I'm migrating my file server from Fedora 9 to Fedora 11 (clean install), and I'm having a horrendous time trying to get key based SSH logins working. I've set it up before, and I can't figure out why it won't work now. I copied my public key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 and set the folder permissions for 700 and the file permissions for 600. Then I restarted sshd. Now unless I remember wrong I thought that's all you have to do. It didn't work. So I rebooted just for good measure. Still didn't work. So I made sure that my client was still sane. I can log into my OpenBSD machine just fine. I compared the sshd_config from OpenBSD to the Fedora one, and the options seem pretty close.

At that point I had nothing to lose and just started messing with the Fedora sshd_config. I also noticed in the config that the commented AuthorizedKeys file had dropped the 2 off the end, so I tried changing that as well. Still nothing. Password based logins work, but I really don't want to go that route. Now I can only think of two possibilities. One, some sshd_config setting is wrong and I don't know what it is. Two, there's some package that's required for key based logins that I accidentally unchecked during the install process. That's about all I can come up with. Here's my sshd_config, I tried to just set everything back to default.

Code:
#Port 22
#AddressFamily any
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::

# Disable legacy (protocol version 1) support in the server for new
# installations. In future the default will change to require explicit
# activation of protocol 1
Protocol 2 .....

Fedora Security :: Ssh Malicious Login Attempts

Nov 15, 2009

I have a server box behind my ISP router at home, and I need to allow ssh access to my server. My ISP router doesn't let me allow selectively ssh from some IP. It allows ssh to everyone.

I have fedora10 and openssh-server-5.1p1-3. How can I configure openssh to allow just from 1 IP?

Does it use xinetd at all and the hosts.allow and .deny mechanism?

Fedora Security :: Can't Get Kde Login Banner To Display On F12

Dec 8, 2009

I'm trying to secure a workstation according to the DISA STIG and updated this machine from f10 to f12 to take care of a lot of kernel and openssl vulnerabilities.

I've gone into the Login Manager by running /usr/bin/kcmshell4 kdm --lang en_US as root, turned off themed greeter to enable the Dialog tab and inserted the login banner in the Greeting field. I checked the Xresources file in both /etc/kde/kdm and /etc/X11/xdm and the xlogin*greeting: field has my banner.

However when I restart the machine I am not prompted by the banner and when I select a user I am not prompted by the banner.

I'm not sure if this could be the issue but I get errors when launching kcmshell4:

Fedora Security :: Admin Users Without GDM Login?

Jul 26, 2010

I need to create a number of internal Linux users for admin purposes. I do not want these users to appear on the initial console login page just after Fedora boots up, as users who can attempt to log in, and I do not want to allow these users to log in directly. I merely want these users to be accessed via su, just like the root user.

Fedora Security :: Administrative Login In User Account?

Sep 25, 2009

I am a new Linux user and have a question about the administrative authentication. When I am logged in as a user and I need to do something that requires root privileges the little password window comes up and I enter the root password. My question is how long are the root privileges granted for?I noticed that a few minutes after finishing checking out the firewall configuration tool and closing the window that I was still able to re-enter the fire wall tool and other administrative tools. How do I log out of the root privileges without logging out and then back into my account?

Fedora Security :: Root Login Via Ssh 12 Password Authentication?

Jan 27, 2010

Can't seem to do it, wondering if anyone knows how? Normally there's something in sshd_config that can be switched to true or yes to allow root login but I can't see it in fedora 12.I can login via root at a terminal no problem, just not via ssh, I get access denied every time. Also, I need to login using password authentication.I've done: 227169 but that's just for GUI which I don't really need since I rarely ever log into the GUI.I have also searched through here and mostly only found info such as above, how to enable root login for GUI, or billions of posts about how logingin as root is bad but I cannotswer to my question.DISCLAIMER: Please do not reply to this thread if all you can contribute is the question of why I need root or to put some message telling me I can do everything using su, etc, etc. Please only contribute if you can answer my question. A: My machine and a valid quesiton. B: Spirit of Linux is open, not restrictive

Fedora Security :: Log Files Empty - System Does Not Allow Root To Login ?

Feb 2, 2010

For a month or so now, I have been enabling ssh and opening port 22. I cron'ed the start and stop commands to leave them open only a few hours a day. After a bit, I checked my logs to find that some IP or another was attempting to brute force my root account.

I took little real threat by the offense.

(1) my system does not allow root to login and

(2) it would cut them off sooner than later when my system issued the stop command.

fast forward

Today I log in to find that all of my log files, as viewed from the gnome log file viewer, were empty of entries from about noon yesterday and prior.

Though I haven't noticed anything at all out of the ordinary with my system, I would like to get more opinions on the matter. Would there be any conceivable way that this was an automatic system routine, a clean up action of something? Additionally, if I was indeed the victim of a hack, what can I do to further protect my system (keeping in mind that I do want to access my system via ssh from time to time)?

Ubuntu Security :: Bad Login Protocols - Graphical Login For Gnome Sizes Itself To Accommodate A User's Exact Password Length

Dec 14, 2010

I'm seeing really bad user login format under a standard installation and am wondering why ubuntu does this as default. I have noticed that the graphical login for gnome sizes itself to accommodate a user's exact password length. This indicates to me that somewhere on the unencrypted part of a standard installation with user encryption contains at least some indication of the content of the password length which seems a security flaw even if not a complete hole, it majorly reduces the number of attempts a cracker would have to cycle through.

And that's assuming that *only* the length is contained. Furthermore it seems that it would be MUCH better to simply display the number of characters entered into the pw field and allowing the gui to expand itself from an fixed size as the field is filled out so the the user still receives visual feedback for entering characters. Either a simple character count display should be entered into the field or a 10 dot to new line so that one can visually quickly count the number enter by multiplying from a 10base graphical observation.

Ubuntu Security :: Startup Login Screen Security?

Aug 27, 2010

just migrated to Lucid from Jaunty and noticed that the login startup screen looks more like windoze (shows all authorized users).One of the endearing security checks with Unix was that if you had access to a console you had guess both userid AND password - the system wouldn't tell you which was wrong.I feel that we have lowered security by making the list of authorized users visible on a console. Is there any way to turn it off and force users to enter both userid and password?
