When connecting to a database in a php script, where would be the safest place to store the connect.php file. I am thinking it should not be in public_html, but is it safe in sub folders or is there a method people generally use to keep such files secure and inaccessible.
The file I mean is one including the database name, user and password etc.
I am trying to parse a line from a file and place the values into separate variables:
input.txt:
Code:
CreateVegaFeed-20110928-before-skip-start
this is the code i have done so far:

$input_file="input.txt"
INPUT_FILE=`cat $input_file`
for i in $INPUT_FILE

I want to copy all files with the name XYZ* into one folder. The problem is that the files are in different subfolders and that not even the depth of the folder structure is the same for all files. Luckily, at least each file has a unique name.
Of course, I thought about the cp command but I guess the depth of the folder structure needs to be the same for this to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm interested in using pam_mysql or pam_ldap for authentication with my vsftpd server on CentOS. Does anyone know if, when pam_mysql connects to a remote database, whether or not the connection is, or can be, encrypted with SSL or some other means? While I know that passwords are hashed, I'd rather not have my usernames or my pam-related SQL queries travel in the clear.
If pam_mysql DOES communicate only in the clear, what about pam_ldap? I'm more familiar with LDAP than pam_mysql, and have always secured my conversations with LDAP servers when using an LDAP client or my own LDAP connection libraries.
I have a script that among other things generates a makefile with an error that causes make to fail. specifically, the string "-Wimplicit-function-dec" should be changed a bit to "-Wimplicit-function-declaration".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm try to setup a database server using mysql, the server starts fine, and I can access it using the built in mysql client via console (adding databases and tables works fine), but the problem is... I always get a connection refused error whenever I access the database outside the built in mysql client (example, if I write a code that connects to mysql). So, I tried execute an nmap command and the only ports open are these ports:

there's no 3306 for mysql... I'm thinking that the firewall is just blocking the port that mysql is using, but my question is, how could the built in client connect to the server if there's no open port for mysql server? Don't clients usually access a servers through ports?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the ubuntu server (command line only) iso and set up a server on a spare computer. The only partition is ubuntu. LAMP server installed, and runs. Its plugged into my home network and the router assigns it a DMZ. I use ptty and that allows me to connect the server from my Windows PC. I installed samba and that works, I set up the server as Z: to my windows PC, and I can now use Filezilla FTP to move gigs of files over from my windows PC to the ubuntu server. I have to log in to activate the connection to Z: but it works.
Problem is getting a database connection from my windows PC (client) to my ubuntu server. Server is running a MySQL server and an Apache Derby server but both give connection:refused every time I try to connect with a java app, or with ij from my client. I tried MySQL Workbench, as that has a GUI, that doesnt connect to MySQL either. Every time I start my server I have to add lots of jar files to the CLASSPATH just to get the Derby server running. The Derby client connection on my client PC is also properly set up with PATH and CLASSPATH etc etc all configured and tested. But the server refuses every attempt to connect even though it tells you the Derby server is up and runnign as listening on port 1527!!!
What I want is a script or app that will "unlock" my server so I can actually do something with it instead of constantly trying new settings and packages in the vain hope it will then actually 'serve'. I am missing something here. There is nothing of value on this server that cannot be 'exposed' to the internet, so I'd be happy to turn off all the security just so the damn thing allowed connections...!
I am writing a simple application that will run as user foo (i.e. Ubuntu user foo).However, the application will connect to my database as (database user foobar). IIRC, database users have nothing to do with Linux system users - but I just need to clarify that.So can an app launched to run as user 'foo', connect to a database as user 'foobar'?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to change my username (or login name) and am wondering what the safest route to do so is. The install is on a headless server, which I just use ssh.There's a) using usermod -l newname oldname. The line in the usermod man that says that changing the login name doesn't change anything else, which makes me think that something else is bound to break. I've also considered b) creating a new user, moving the contents of my home directory to the new user, and deleting the old user. This is kind of cumbersome, but would this be the recommended way to ensure everything goes well (considering I still have to redo some config files).

I am very unsophisticated on the subject of security.This question has been addressed before on this site Code:if you have enough RAM you can ignore your local disks all together, and avoid the security risk of a swap file
How you do that then?Perhaps it would be better to use an operating system inside the software computer, virtual box, that only ever gets used for this b*nking purpose?
I have a script which when invoked will generally su into being a number of different users (for those that have read other threads from me, you will know.I am building my own user based package management system).Whilst 75 - 80% of the time there will be no need to be anyone other than the original user, there are times when the root password is required. Currently this is presented to the administrator at exactly the point in the script that it is required.At times this may be more than once and it may also happen for multiple users in a row.
What would be the best / safest method (in your opinion) of capturing the password at the start of the script and then delivering it when required?I have looked at expect ( I am not at all familiar ), but on the examples dealing with passwords, that I could find, they all seem to store the password in a simple bash like variable (which does not excite me at all from a security point).I can also potentially go down the sudo road, but the issue here is that I would either have to find a list of commands that an entire group can have access to without passwords (doesn't sound safe) or I am back to square one of then requiring a password for each individual user to be entered, which if at the start would still need to be captured and saved until necessary.So as I have said, I am open to any and all (constructive) advice
I need to run fsck on a large partition on my server on a periodic basis. In many cases, however, files are left open on the partition, e.g. XMing sessions are often left open for weeks at a time because connection is hit-or-miss, or jobs are left running.
My first thoughts are to shut down the daemons I know are using the partition, then traverse lsof for processes that have files open on the partition and do a SIGHUP, SIGTERM, SIGKILL sequence on them. One problem I see with this is that in some cases a script might be running a loop that performs a process on the partition. For example, suppose loop.sh is running from ~ and it loops process.sh over the files in /data (i.e. the partition in question.) The first signal would end process.sh, but loop.sh wouldn't be touched, which would allow it to proceed to the next iteration, etc. until the final instance of process.sh would get the SIGKILL and yet another iteration would start. Killing process groups might help here, however.
Ideally I would just go to init 1, check the filesytem (maybe run a backup,) then go back to init 4 (running Kubuntu, so no init 3.) I'm not exactly sure how to pull that off without the filesystem check happening every time the server goes to init 1, however.
I am trying to unload file from a database. Which contains few lines with the character below. Rest of the data was unloaded appropriately.

c) Will this effect the file by any means (If I am guessing properly, this is the eof notation)

I have a X61s Thinkpad with a cracked screen which i use with the ultrabase with an external monitor and keyboard.

Because i am using KMS for my intel based system i don't have an xorg.conf and because i am using slim i am not using ~/.xinitrc I read somwhere that creating an ~/.xprofile file would solve this but i have not had any luck. So i am wondering where would be the best place to put the xrandr configuration?
