Server :: Iptables Logging To 3 Log Files?

Jul 21, 2010

Whether I use ufw or firestarter to populate my iptables, my firewall logs get written to 3 different log files:/var/log/messages/var/log/kern.log/var/log/syslogI want to keep the logging turned on, but I'd rather it not log to syslog, as it's obscuring other events in syslog that I'd like to see. I'm using rsyslog on Ubuntu. I looked around online and found one person suggesting I add this to the top of rsyslog.conf:kern.* -/var/log/kern.logkern.* ~I did that and restarted rsyslog, but it's still logging to the same 3 files.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Logging Connection Attempts With Iptables

Mar 8, 2010

I'm having a lot of problems getting NIS set up with our firewall. I've looked online and no one seems to have any answers. When the firewall is off, NIS works. When it's on, it doesn't.I would like to know which ports NIS needs by logging connection attempts on the server, since I would swear the right ports seem open already. Right now I'm using this to generate the log entries:

iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix "New Connection: "
iptables -I OUTPUT -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix "New Connection: "

However, I think it must only work for successful connections, because I'm not seeing any new entries when I try running the NIS client on another machine (ypbind).

Security :: Iptables - Logging All Protocols - Not Just Tcp - Udp - Icmp

Jun 21, 2010

Brief overview of my current setup:

Code:

The ip_blacklist chain is used to immediately drop any traffic from specified address ranges, while the tcp_, udp_, and icmp_packets chains contain rules for further processing of those protocols. The last rule in each of the latter three chains drops all packets that didn't match any rules above it; so tcp, udp, and icmp packets should NOT get caught by the default INPUT policy (DROP). The goal of the last rule on the INPUT chain is to then log any packets that are picked up by the default policy. However, it's not working.

I can tell that there are packets being picked off by the default policy because the counters are being incremented, but nothing is logged by that last rule. My conclusion is that it's only looking for tcp, udp, and icmp packets and ignoring everything else.

How to get iptables to log all the other protocols (or whatever is being caught by the default policy)?

Security :: Logging Connection Bytes For Iptables?

Mar 28, 2011

I am wondering if it's possible to log the number of bytes a connection transfered when the connection is complete with iptables. I know I've seen this sort of information in Cisco FWSM logs, where the "Teardown" entry of the logs has the bytes transferred for that connection. Is it possible to have something similar to that with iptables? Where the initial connection attempt is logged (i.e. NEW, which I have logging fine) AND an entry for that connection that includes the bytes transferred?

Debian Configuration :: IPTables Logging Rules Dropping WiFi Connection

Dec 1, 2015

I'm trying to use these cookie cutter rules that I found. But every time I use them, after a few seconds my wifi connection goes dead. The exception was the first time I used then. Which lasted me a couple of minutes.

By dead I mean I can no longer open a webpage or ping google.

iptables -N LOGGING
iptables -A INPUT -j LOGGING
iptables -A OUTPUT -j LOGGING
iptables -A LOGGING -m limit --limit 2/min -j LOG --log-prefix "IPTables-Dropped: " --log-level 4

Programming :: Logging What Files Are Deleted?

Sep 29, 2010

I'm deleting logs after they are backed up. The line below in a script is doing it but I'd like to print the list of files that are deleted into a log file. I tried printf at the end but can't seem to get it to work. I'm not sure how to output that at the end of the string. Also I was looking at man find man and the difference btween -exec and -execdir. I don't understand what it's saying. Is -execdir executing rm m within the /opt/temp/logs directory the difference?

Server :: Proxy Server Software Based On Simple Logging Requirements

May 18, 2010

we need to log web access of a certain set of users for analysis. We decided to setup a proxy server which just logs all the requests but does not do anything else like caching/access control etc.All users will be using a fixed set of computers and hence we can redirect their requests to the proxy. I came across Squid, but found it to be too heavy for our requirements. Is there any other proxy-server software that is good enough for what we want or is Squid the only way?

Server :: Multiple Users Logging Into Same Windows Server And Using Xwindows?

May 18, 2010

I have an issue with users logging into a server. There are multiple (5 or so) database admins that have to log into a windows 2003 server and from there log into a red hat server. Once they are in the rhel box they execute an app (let's say xclock) that gives them an xwindows session on their desktop. Currently only one person can do this at a time, but they have asked me to configure it to allow multiple users to log into the red hat box from the windows server and run an xwindow.

Server :: Ssh Freeze After Logging To The CentOS 5.4 Server?

Nov 15, 2010

I have 2 servers running CentOS 5.4 Final, one is 32 bit and the other is x86_64.When I ssh to either server, the session will freeze after a while and I cannot type anything except I close the term. This has happened before, and I thougthat was caused by iptables' rulesBut now I turned off iptables and the problem remains.I tried tcpdump on my machine(client running OpenSUSE 11.2), and it shows that after the freezing, client will still sent ack message to the server.So I think this may be caused by the server.Note that I can ping the server smoothly.Does anybody meet this problem before

General :: Logging Into A Remote Server?

Jan 3, 2010

I want to login to my company's server (remote) from my room. I have the server address, so I use this command to login :

Code:
#ssh root@X.X.X.X

It waits for a very long time and then returns with error connection timed out port 22.

I configured these settings in the remote server :

Code:
#/etc/init.d/iptables stop

Then I connect via ssh from my home but still the same error.

Then in the config file /etc/ssh/sshd_config, I uncomment the line : ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

I connect via ssh again from home but still the same error.

The connection is not denied in hosts.deny and hosts.allow.

How do I get the connection up and running?

General :: Logging Into Server From A Windows 7 Machine?

Jan 4, 2010

I am having problems logging into my SME Linux server from a new Windows 7 machine. It sees the server on the network, but does not seem to be passing the windows login through to the Linux server (which is how all of the XP machines log in). When I try to log in using a valid username and password it goes nowhere and just says it is an invalid username and/or password. I had a Vista machine that could log into this Linux server so I do not think the Samba version is the problem.

Server :: Apache Logging Client Hostnames Instead Of IPs ?

Mar 12, 2011

Setup a new machine with Apache, identical setup to all the other machines I got, yet this one is logging hostnames instead of IPs.

"HostnameLookups" are "Off" and LogFormat settings are identical to all the other machines:


Code:

Added a new LogFormat directive:


Code:

And told the virtual hosts to use it:


Code:

This solved the problem, though I'm at a loss as to why I've got this behavior on just this one box and none of the others. OS is Debian Lenny, same version of Apache installed via Debian package.

My understanding from Apache doc [url] is that when "HostnameLookups" are "Off, "%h" will yield IP instead of hostname..

Code:

It features support for HTTPS, virtual hosting, CGI, SSI, IPv6, easy scripting and database integration, request/response filtering, many flexible authentication schemes, and more. Homepage: [url]

3.which one of them installed which package on the server

4.what did they copy or move at what time and summery all the activity that each of them do on the server individually.

Server :: Why Mysql Automatically Logging In Without .my.cnf Or My.cnf Sections

May 16, 2010

I've checked and double checked that there is no user and password directive in /etc/my.cnf and ~/.my.cnf but it seems that every time I issue mysql it will drop me into the command line without prompting for a password or giving any pause. Of course, the only table I have access to when doing this is information_schema with read only on most of it and no access on the rest, but I was just wondering where else an auto-login style authentication could be coming from.
