I want to get a of log all the commands executed by the root user with the following details :
incoming ip
username (thru which su was executed)
time and date
all the commands executed as mentioned above.
Also if user has managed to login as root, he should not be able to disable / delete the above info. Can this info be collected at some other physical server ?

I've setup dimdim (opensource, centos 5.3) and noticed yum & rpm commands fail when executed as root because it uses librpmio from openoffice3 instead of /usr/lib (I'm running from memory so I may have misstyped). But sudo doesn't have this problem.
How can root's search path be different, especially after I state /usr & /usr/lib at the top of /etc/ld.so.conf.
I am working on Ubuntu 9.10.Since last two days there is issue while working with Terminal.Whenever I type a command and press enter it doesnt do anything. command is not executed.

After running Code: sudo aptitude install banshee I wanted to bind my "Media" button on my keyboard to run banshee; unfortunately, it still wants to run rhythmbox. Where can I change the default command executed by these keyboard shortcuts? I can't seem to find them in gconf-editor under apps/metacity/* and googling has proved fruitless in finding where this configuration file is located.

View 2 Replies View RelatedInspite of having 755 permissions on the chown command, it seems the command can be executed by the root only. I was under the impression that the 'x' permission for 'others' can give executable rights to the normal user too, which does not seem to be the case here. Just curious to know, if not the file perms itself, what controls the execution of the command?

I can't seem to copy a password to the clipboard on my Linux 2.6.27.41-170.2.117.fc10.x86_64 system, however, in order to supply the password to a prompt in an xterm(1).

How can I copy the password to the xterm(1)?
[Aside: I think we need a "KeePass" tag.]

Right now I'm going to search for log events that include the following:
Any other commands or logs that would be good to correlate or be alerted on when a potential breach or suspicous activity is happening on the box? Logging cleared, permission changes on accounts or particular files or directories? What would you want to see while monioring your servers?
have around 20-30 HP and Dell Hardware where we have attached Pen Drive. There is no Rack-lock facility. A misuse of Pen Drive is reported and it happens every alternative day that someone unplug and theft the drive attached.There is no camera facility to monitor.I have a plan to write a script which will login to every machine through ILO and watch the USB availability. In case anyone dettach the USB, a mail will be sent to the administrator and thereby the steps could be taken.Does this idea look feasible.

I am currently using the built-in firewall to deny all traffic other than ICMP ping/pong and TCP traffic on those specific ports.I am looking for a graphical application which will let me monitor any connections being made to my server in order to keep an eye out for possible security concerns. To be more specific, I'd like to be able to see the source IP addresses, TCP/UDP ports, and individual bandwidth in use by external connections being made to the server, along with any other information that might be helpful in identifying a possible intrusion attempt.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAt our company we have a central server with client files. This server has a SSH server installed, and through Nautilus all employees can access the files. However, I have a few questions:
1. Most employees need access to all folders, because they might use them at some point in time. However, I want to make sure they are not accessing things they do not need. How can I do this? For instance, if somebody copies all of the folders to his/her computer, I want to be able to see this in some sort of log. Can this be done? Copying and accessing in general is what is of my concern.
2. Some employees only need access to specific folders. Can this be easily configured with SFTP?
3. Some also use SSH and type commands which I want to check every now and then (e.g. to make sure an intern is not again copying information or accessing folders they should not be in). What is a good way to do this?
is someone can guide the best open source tools to monitor as webbase,gui,shell prompt
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was reading a magazine article today which was a discussion of internet detective work for tracking down ip addresses which attempt an ssh login to your machine. I have never really paid much attention to network security since I only run a small home network. I have WPA encryption and a firewall on my router. But while reading this article, I remembered that I myself has seen log files in the past that inidicated someone somewhere had attempted to log into my machine (attempts all failed). This had happened a few times, but I never really considered it a threat.
But, the more I read about home computers becoming "zombies" for criminals, I guess I am getting a little paranoid in my old age, particularly since my wife does quite a bit of business on the net with credit cards. I have four computers connected to the net and each other on this network, and would like to be able to easily detect attempted log ins and deal with them quickly.
So my reason for posting is to ask if someone could recommend a novice-friendly application for monitoring traffic to check this intermittently. I have read bodhi.zazen's excellent tutorial on snort, but I it appears to be written for large lan's or web servers and is over-kill for a small home network.
I am striving to setup OSSEC to monitor some specific files for realtime changes! Is this possible? I can't really find a lot of info from their Documentation
Some Examples:
/etc/myfile.txt is deleted. I need this to be reported.
/etc/myfile.txt is created again so I need this to be reported again!
This has to happen instantly though, because the file might be deleted and created again many times in a short period of time.. Another one...
/etc/passwd is touched (accessed) even if there is no changes! Can this be reported as well?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to launch a bash file in Linux from an unprivileged user session, file that will run bash commands as root. But I do not want to create an user with root privileges to do that also the process must be silent (no password asked).
How can I do this without adding a user in sudoers and without giving rights to all users to execute the commands from that bash file?
I have tried SUID option witch would had been good as functionality but I understand that SUID doesn't work for script bash files.
is there a way to monitor use of rm, cp and mv commands? (other than in history)... i would prefer if it were logged in /var/log directory with time and command (with its arguments).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI read somewhere that 'sync' and 'who' commands in linux should be disabled. While i can understand that for the 'who' command, why so for 'sync'?
I can find sync and who as one of shell commands, whereas also in /bin/sync and /usr/bin/who. Are the shell commands and those in bin directory meant to serve the same purpose?
Finally, how can i disable these commands?
trying to devise a new sudoers configuration while building a new SOE and would like to force everyone (including system administrators) to use rootsh in favour of doing things like sudo -s, sudo bash, sudo tcsh and so forth. Effectively, use sudo to use any shell other than rootsh. Is there a way to allow users to run anything they want except shells. I realise this is a default permit which inherently is defective, but I'm not convinced that going through the 1559 executable commands of my (as yet incomplete) built system to decided on the likely 1000+ commands I would want to be genuinely allowed. As I said this is for system administrators first, and I'd like to forcibly instil the habit of sudo <command> or using rootsh to get an audited shell. But I know people are already not doing enough sudo <command> as it stands, rather they switch to bash.
