I have recently setup a RHEL 5.3 server primarily to be used as an Apache web server. I also now have a requirement to have this server also service SFTP requests for uploading/downloading files.
1. By default RHEL 5.3 allows SFTP (over TCP port 22). However when searching for SFTP site setup I've come across the fact that RedHat recommends using vsftpd. So if I configure vsftpd, what happens to the default SFTP and the ability to remotely use something like PuTTY to SSH into the server? Really looking to see if SFTP or vsftpd is best. Also, is vsftpd as or more secure than FTP over SSH?
2. I've set aside a separate disk parition (to keep it away from the system partition to help lock down security) for the SFTP site. So I want to use that as the default SFTP root directory structure. How can this be achieved?
3. My requirements dictate 3 separate directories need to be used, each with their own associated SFTP user. The user can only read/write it's own directory structure and cannot navigate out of it. Also there will be a SFTP super user able to navigate through each of the 3 directory structures mentioned, but will not be able to navigate out of it's home directory. Can this be done, if so how?
There will be no SSL certificates in play at the moment. I'm more concerned about getting things setup and working correctly first. However there may be a requirement to use them later. The site will be accessed over the Internet initially, hence the reason I'm looking to make it as secure as possible while getting it up and running quickly.
I have 4 partitions in my system, out of which two(sda1, sda2) have windows on them. I have installed RHEL 4 32 - bit on sda3 and after that , installed installed RHEL 64-bit on to a partition sda 5. Now i am unable to boot into RHEL 32-bit. The error i am getting is Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format.
View 1 Replies View Relatedshut down my RHEL 4 system with an error still present in the /etc/fstab file. Current symptom: When I now try to boot, everything hangs when "Enabling swap space". Highly likely, the reason is the failure to "Mount local filesystems" in the previous step (i.e. "mount point 0 does not exist" = error due to my incorrect line in the /etc/fstab file).Question: Is there any way that I can still boot my system, such that I can remove the incorrect line in the /etc/fstab file?

Introduction : We have a C++ application in RHEL 5.4 platform. We are using TCP/IP socket programming as well to send and receive some sort of messages. We are using socket write and read command for this purpose and we are getting some run-time write issues in between. By doing various debugging and strace operations, we came to the conclusion that issue happens in some write attempts as follows.
Detailed Description : In the simplest case, consider I have a server and a client. Server writes some messages using write command and client is supposed to read the same data.Major code snippets in Server side is as follows [It is not feasible to extract the actual files and application codes as a whole, below are just the major commands used in server side]:
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
int reuse=1;
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR,& reuse, sizeof(reuse));

I have installed RHEL-5 on a 64-bit machine recently, and want to install java. Earlier when I did "java -version", it showed jre1.4.0. But for my application , I need jre 1.5.0 or later, so I decided to download jre1.6. I am the root user here and I downloaded the jre1.6 as rpm.bin as well as simple .bin format.
But the problem is that when I tried executing any of them, I am getting below error message :
" ./jre-6u16-linux-x64-rpm.bin: line 368: ./install.sfx.20520: cannot execute binary file"
Moreover, now when I tried "java -version", it is not showing any thing.
Could anybody suggest me how can I resolve this deadlock situation, as I need to install my other application at the earliest.
can not ping from host (RHEL 6) to RHEL 5 in (virtual)? I have stopped iptables on both machines. But still not able to ping from host machine to virtual.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm an Oracle DBA and started working for my current employer about 4 months ago. This past weekend an alert re: FS space brought my attention to /var/spool/clientmqueue (full of mail re: cron jobs) and the fact that sendmail is not running on our Linux servers.I'm told that the IT security team deemed sendmail too vulnerable so we don't run it.Aside from FS filling up and missing notification of issues with crontab entries, I'm concerned that we may be missing notification of potential issues. In other Unix/Linux environments I've seen emails from the print daemon when it experienced problems with specific jobs.
Are there other Linux facilities aside from cron and lpd that use email to advise the users of possible issues? Are there ways to secure sendmail or secure alternatives to sendmail? My primary need/desire is to make sure that emails regarding issues on the server get to the appropriate users. Secondary goal would be to have the ability to use mailx to send mail out. There is No need/desire to receive mail from outside.
My server is suddenly getting giving the following error: Quote: Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to inenergy.dvrdns.org. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. * The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. * Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site. I had been trying to configure the server to do secure logins (before Christmas) , but I don't think I had completed the configuration and I'm not sure how to reset it so that I can start again.

I have opensuse 11.4 in which I am trying to install Moodle 2.02 on my server. In the install.php it asks for where you want to place your moodle and moodledata directories, which in the default installation of Moodle in Opensuse is /srv/www/moodle and /srv/www/moodledata. It initially automatically fills in /srv/moodledata for the moodledata directory. When I change it to the default opensuse location it balks at the /srv/www/moodledata with "Dataroot location is not secure". It won't let me get past it. I have Moodle 1.99 running on opensuse 11.1 with those same directories. What can I do to get around this error message?

After extracting (tar -zxvf eugene-3.6.tar.gz) compilation files from eugene.tar.gz, I used ./configure to compile.

Also, while creating a new squid user, I get the same error: htpasswd /etc/squid/squid_passwd alok

The libdb-4.3.so file exists in my /usr/lib. When I looked up for error code 27, it says " File too large ". I thought maybe its because of the number of users. But even after removing some duplicate user accounts, I still can't figure out why the error remains.
We installed 3 new rhel 5.5 systems yesterday; each of which are generating this error " Error: certificate verify failed" in response to a basic "yum update". From what I can gather, via a general search, this may be isolated to x86_64 -- however the references I found were specific to Satellite Server (which we are not using). Never the less, I checked the PATHs for the cert and they are correct. All of our 32 bit systems are running RHEL 5.5 and this is not a problem on any of them.

From what I understand -fPIC is something that is only a concern on 64bit operating systems. I tried this on RHEL 5.4 32bit and it worked fine. How do I get past this error? I've tried disabling SElinux as recommended on the swi-prolog website, but that had no effect. I also tried compiling with "CFLAGS=-fPIC" but still the same issue. This happens on all my RHEL 5.4 64bit machines.
I am running an Ubuntu Server on a VirtualBox VM running on my windows machine. So I've created a self-signed certificate using the following tutorial: [URL]
From this tutorial I'm left with 3 files:
server.key
server.csr
server.crt
Then I found this very similar tutorial that has an extra bit on installing the certificates in apache: [URL] So I followed it's instructions which boil down to this:
[Code]...
So I'm thinking this should work now. However in Chrome I get: SSL connection error Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error. IE8 gives me a typical "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" Note that [URL] fails while [URL] works fine, so it's definitely something in my ssl setup I'm thinking.
