Ubuntu Security :: Prevent Fork Bombs From Bringing The System To Grinding Halt?

Mar 18, 2011

So I am basically just curious about this, but is there a way to prevent fork bombs from bringing the system to grinding halt in Ubuntu, without setting hard limits on the resources available to users? I read about fork bombs on Wikipedia, and being the masochist I am (and not having any unsaved work), I tried entering those 13 characters into terminal. Wow. I have never seen a computer freeze up so fast.What really peaked my curiosity is that the same fork bomb has almost no effect on the performance of Mac OSX (10.6). I know that one can limit the availability of resources to specific users. Is that essentially what Snow Leopard is doing?

Server :: Error - Unable To Fork: Cannot Allocate Memory

Feb 6, 2011

While Apache is off, then everything is OK, but if I start apache server after some time I get messages "Unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory" when trying to do some commands with ssh(dir,rm,top and so on).

P.S. There is free RAM when I get that message.

Server :: NTP Config - Prevent Clients Using Server?

May 24, 2010

I'm presently writing software to keep my system time from drifting, it uses an external clock device.To verify it's accuracy I'm running ntpd as a server, and have another server monior the first as a client. This allows me to compare the offset with other 'valid' time servers.The problem is that the monitoring client keeps synchronising with my development server. How can I configure either the dev. server or the client so that it's time won't be selected as a good time source?The ntp.conf on the dev. server looks like:

Code:
server 127.127.1.0 # local clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

[code]...

Server :: "fork: Resource Temporarily Unavailable" For Certain User?

Jan 4, 2010

I have a machine running on RH with 4G memory and 8G swap.Just now I'm having a problem when loging in with a user - just call it "userX" -.Each time I'm logged in I got a message Code:-bash: fork: ource temporarily unavailableAnd almost everytime I entered any command, it gives me the same warning. In some time (rarely) it will give me proper result, but almost any time it gives me the warning and no result.When I use 'top' command, it shows that I still have 500M free memory and about 8G free swaps. Plus the process for userX is less than 20 processes, and each of them are short processes (less than an hour, mostly just few seconds).As a note this problem only occur on userX, for any other user on the machine everything works just fine.

Server :: Ssh: Prevent Disconnection After A Command?

Aug 19, 2010

I wish to create aliases to log into a server and go to a specific folder. For example, I have two aliases:

Code:

alias REP1='ssh me@server cd /REP1'
alias REP2='ssh me@server cd /REP2'

and of course, I'm disconnected after cd commands. I found no ssh option which prevents this disconnection to occur. I also tried the following trick:

Code:

ssh me@server "cd /REP; bash -i"

but it left me with a crappy shell (no color, directions keys printing ^]]A, ...)

Fedora :: How To Prevent GDM To Start X Server On Console

Feb 15, 2011

I have a headless server, and I want to prevent GDM 2.30 from starting the graphical login on the console screen. As I use XDMCP, I still need GDM running on the server... With previous versions of GDM, I was doing that through gdmsetup, which ended with these lines in /etc/custom.conf :

Code:

[servers]
0=inactive

but it seems that it's not working anymore with 2.30...

Hardware :: Recommended Ups To Prevent Server From Burning Up

Jun 2, 2011

I think this is the right place to ask my question so I'll just go ahead. Where I live we have frequent power anomalies such as outage and why I would describe as power resets resulting in power being cut and restored in a very fast delay, resulting in all electrical equipment in my house to reset and all computers to improperly shutdown and reboot. I don't know how many times my beloved Linux server was reset like this and every time reiser fs has to replay transactions and so far I've been lucky I did not lose any hdd or other components but I think this will happen sooner than later.

What I am searching for is a device that would protect my server, scanner, router and a few other small devices from power surges and anomalies that would result in hardware and equipment damage. What I also want from that device is the capability to continue powering the devices until they properly shutdown. I think a ups is what I am looking for but all models that I've seen are priced $400 up and that's over my budget.

What I also want is the capability to announce to the server that the device is running on batteries and that the server can initiate it's normal shutdown procedure.

Server :: OpenVPN Prevent Sites From Being Accessed?

Apr 18, 2011

Is there a way to prevent users of an OpenVPN service from accessing restricted sites? I know this can be done through a proxy server but through a VPN there seems to be no way of preventing traffic from accessing porn sites or other as the traffic is encrypted. I am using a VPN in the same fashion as a proxy server except that the VPN is necessary because some video sites use rtmp on port 1935, which a proxy server cannot route.

Ubuntu Networking :: Prevent Apache2 Server From Starting At Boot?

Nov 18, 2010

One of my ubuntu 10.04 boxes starts apache2 server automatically at boot. I know from the output of the command:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 status

I can't remember even setting that up, and I don't think it does so by default, since my other box in fact does not even have apache2 server installed. I can stop the server once I login, but is there a way to stop it from automatically starting the server, or even better, completely uninstall the daemon. I tried

Code:

sudo apt-get remove apache2

but that does not work. I guess the daemon is part of some bigger package.

Server :: Server Configuration For Small Office Server, Which Smtp, Pop Imap Server And Backup?

Apr 2, 2010

I have installed a linux server in my office to run 16 machines. Its main use will be a internal mail server but will be also running websites.

I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 server x64 and have got apache running.

I am looking for the simplest more robust solution for smtp, pop3 and imap. I have only ever used qmail before and found it a pain to configure and its getting old so I though I should probably try something new. I have not much experience with running pop3 or imap on linux so would love a suggestion on that.

Debian Configuration :: Install A Multi-core System And Configure It To Run Several VMs, One Each For A Firewall, A Caching Proxy Server, A Mail Server, A Web Server?

Jan 25, 2011

I will be relocating to a permanent residence sometime in the next year or two. I've recently begun thinking about the best way to implement a home-based network. It occurred to me that the most elegant solution might be the use of VM technology to eliminate as much hardware and wiring as possible.My thinking is this: Install a multi-core system and configure it to run several VMs, one each for a firewall, a caching proxy server, a mail server, a web server. Additionally, I would like to run 2-4 VMs as remote (RDP)workstations, using diskless workstations to boot the VMs over powerline ethernet.The latest powerline technology (available later this year) will allow multiple devices on a residential circuit operating at near gigabit speed, just like legacy wired networks.

In theory, the above would allow me to consolidate everything but the disklessworkstations on a single server and eliminate all wired (and wireless) connections except the broadband connection to the Internet and the cabling to the nearest power outlets. It appears technically possible, but I'm not sure about the various virtual connections among VMs. In theory, each VM should be able to communicate with the other as if it was on the same network via the server data bus, but what about setting up firewall zones? Any internal I/O bandwidth bottlenecks? Any other potential "gotchas", caveats, issues? (Other than the obvious requirement of having enough CPU and RAM).Any thoughts or observations welcome, especially if they are from real world experience in a VM environment. BTW--in case you're wondering why I'm posting here, it's because I run Debian on all my workstations/servers (running VirtualBox as a VM for Windows XP on one workstation).

Server :: Configure Internal Zimbra Server To Use External Server To Send Mails?

Feb 16, 2010

I have got a running mail server on CentOS5.4 Final using Zimbra free edition. . Assume that domain is organization.com.local And it is running fine with users created and bugzilla running on the same machine can send mails using this server. But it can obviously send messages to the internal users. There is this option to configure it to use external mail server to send mails outside the network but my external smtp server needs an authentication.Is it possible to configure it this way to use my external server to send mails from internal domain to say gmail?
