General :: Operating System Will Be Effective In Detering The Gathering Of Viruses From The Internet?
Aug 25, 2010Just a few words in the form of introduction.I have just purchased an older server to use on my home LAN.I understand that the use of Linux or Unix as an operating system will be effective in detering the gathering of viruses from the internet.I am totally unfamiliar with either system, but if this is the case, that's about to change.

Apr 19, 2010I have opensuse 11.2 and when I run ClamTK and click on "help" then "check for updates", it only checks for GUI updates, not virus database updates. How can I make it check for virus database updates using ClamTK?, because I don't want to keep using sudo freshclam.By the way, does ClamAV offer real-time virus monitoring? Or does it only scan files?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Virus Scanning - Running ClamTk Sufficient
Feb 10, 2010Would I need to scan the (root /) directory with sudo clamtk or would running clamtk be sufficient? Theoretically, if Ubuntu did get a virus; would this virus try to establish itself in / rather than /home? Also is it correct to presume that to scan the /home directory; running sudo clamtk wont do any more than just running clamtk?

Apr 10, 2010I've installed ClamTK on my Kubuntu 9.10 installation, since it's connected to a Windows7 machine.When I ran a scan, it found 9 'viruses', but they are all within my home directory > Opera/mail/store and are either status Phishing.Heuristics.Email.SpoofedDomain OR HTML.Phishing.Bank-593.I recently synced my Hotmail into Opera, so I checked the corresponding dates in my Hotmail account and deleted the emails which I thought were related, however, after clearing down my Opera history, etc., re-booting my PC and re-scanning, the results are the same.How do I clear down these files?

Feb 16, 2010I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop (x200s, XPpro with 230 Gb), and created a 30Gb partition therefore. At the end of the install, the screen remained orange for a while, without any disk activity. I forced the laptot to reboot, but Ubntu was no option when the machine restarted. However, my XP partition has been reduced by 30 Gb. Does anybody have an idea about what I should do to either get Ubuntu installed or recover the disk space?

View 7 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Processes With Effective User Name Or ID
May 21, 2009I am studying for the LPIC-1 exam, and reading a book that they recommend: "Introduction to Linux: A Hands-on Guide", by Machtelt Garrels. There's one question on the 4th chapter (Processes), that I found confusing: Question: Based on process entries in /proc, owned by your UID, how would you work to find out which processes these actually represent?
What does he mean? If I run the command (considering that my username is sl33p):
Code:
$ps -u sl33p
...gives me the right answer?
The ps man page says:
-u userlist
Select by effective user ID (EUID) or name.
This selects the processes whose effective user name or ID is in userlist. The effective user ID describes the user whose file access permissions are used by the process (see geteuid(2)). Identical to U and --user.
Programming :: Bash Reading Arguments, Most Effective Way?
Aug 17, 2010I've been reading about getopt and getopts but it doesn't seem like it's possible to parse arguments like --foo or even -foo. I've started my own script trying to achieve this, but I'm still wondering if I'm losing performance and if there is a better way to do this task.
Also I'm using the [[ =~ ]] regex syntax which seems to be available only in newer bash versions, should it be a big issue? My bash version: GNU bash, version 4.1.7(2)-release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

View 9 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Nas - Most Effective Backup Software -> When Dealing With Large Numbers Of Files?
Jul 18, 2010I have two NASes. I work off of one, and the other is used as a backup. As I have it set up now, it's slow. Running a backup takes a week. Even for 7 TB, with 1,979,407 files, this seems a bit outlandish,particularly as both systems are RAID-5 and the network is all gigabit. I've been digging about in the rsync man pages, and I really don't understand what differentiates the various topologies.Right now, all the processing is being done on the backup NAS, which has the main volume from the main NAS mounted locally over SMB. I suspect that the SMB overhead is killing me, particularly when dealing with lots of files.
I think what I need is to set up rsync on the main nas as a daemon, and then run a local rsync client to connect to it, which would hopefully allow me to completely avoid the whole SMB-in-the-middle affair, but aside from mentioning that it's there, I can find very little information on why one would want to use the daemon mode for rsync.
Here's my current rsync command line: rsync -r -progress --delete /cifs/Thecus/ /mnt/Storage/input? Is there a better way/tool to do this? Edit:Ok, to address the additional questions: The "Main" NAS is a Thecus N7700. I have additional modules installed that give me SSH, and it has rsync, but it's not in the $PATH, and I havn't figured out how to edit the local $PATH in a way that persists between reboots. The "Backup" NAS is a DIY affair, built around a 1.6Ghz Via Mobo with a Adaptec Hardware RAID card. It's running CentOS 5 with a full desktop environment. It's the hardware I'm running rsync from. (Gigabit is through a additional PCI card).
Further Edit: Ok, got rsync over SSH working (thanks, lajuette!).I had to do a bit of tweaking on my command line, I'm running rsync with the args:rsync -rum --inplace --progress --delete --rsync-path=/opt/bin/rsync sys@10.1.1.10:/raid/data/Storage /mnt/Storage (Note: I'm specifically not using -a, because I want to change the ownership to the local account, to not freak-out SELinux)

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Samba Fileserver Filled With Viruses?
Sep 23, 2010I've prepared a Samba fileserver at work without much too problems and I've prepared a batch file to mount it as z: letter on windows machine at startup.As a sad result the share gets filled with many viruses and became a vehicle of infection.
folder1 ----> folder2 and many other files and folders
folder1 has a condivision access read and write for everyone so I get no problems with passwords for all those who have access but i use ntfs security to do it read only (viruses act like if a pendrive is connected and mainly put infected files just in the "root" of it, in my case in folder 1) and then give everyone full control in folder2. I've been trying to understand how to do this but I'm quite new to linux and smb.conf really scared me. I've tried samba graphical tool which was a lot easier but I'm not able to achieve this kind of result: no need of user password for users to mount the share and no write possibilities in folder 1 and full control in folder 2.
Fedora :: Wine And Windows Viruses ?
Sep 8, 2011Since it makes Windows apps work there is a possibility that also its viruses will work. I searched and a few sites mentioned such things, but none confirmed this issue.
In Wikipedia, it said this: "Because of Wine's ability to run Windows binary code, concerns have been raised over native Windows viruses and malware affecting Unix-like operating systems. Wine can run much malware, but programs running in Wine are confined to the current user's privileges, restricting some undesirable consequences. This is one reason Wine should never be run as the superuser."
Here is the link.
As far as I know, I cannot install unless I'm a root user, and I keep my Terminal as a root user opened for hours. Also, if I were to install windows apps under Wine, I'll have to log in as a root!
So let me line the questions here:
1- Does Wine activate Windows viruses?
2- Can viruses run on their own while I log in as root in Terminal or while installing apps (whether under Wine or not)?
Slackware :: Protection From Viruses Or Spyware
Jul 18, 2011I know Slackware probably doesn't require too much protection from viruses or spyware, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help protect it (other than Common Sense).
I ask this for 2 reasons:
1. I'm Paranoid
2. Every now and then I mistype a website I go to and it takes me to a completely different website which frightens me because of my paranoia.
So is there anything I can do to help protect Slackware, and in the rare case I get a virus is there a way to remove it directly?
Is it also possible to use Slackware (currently Master drive) to remove a virus on Windows (slave drive)?
Fedora Security :: How To Viruses Infect A System?
May 25, 2010I am a very new Linux user. My first OS is Fedora 12, which I just recently installed into my laptop. So far, I am thoroughly enjoying it. I do have a question bugging my mind though. Linux systems are known to be very safe from viruses, mainly due to programmers targeting the Windows platform. In Windows, common methods for virus infections are from infected executable files, external drives autorun... ETC.
Now my question is how do viruses spread into a Linux system? And with so few viruses known to exist for Linux systems, do I really need to be aware and take precautions for viruses (For example in Windows, disabling autorun function for external drives)?

Jul 15, 2010I have a dual boot computer. The WindowsXP "side" has been infected with a rootkit virus. So far UBUNTU has not been affected to my knowledge. I have not yet been able to remove the virus from the WindowsXP "side". I am thinking of deleting the NTFS partition and have the computer fully dedicated to UBUNTU.
Now for my question. Is there a possibility that the virus resides in the MBR and that I need to "rebuild" the MBR to actually remove the virus? Even more extreme, should I totally re-install UBUNTU in the name of safety and precaution.
