Got PGP 6.5.8 for Linux working with Ubuntu 10.10. It involved converting two .rpm files to .deb with the alien utility and then installing by simply double clicking on the .deb files in the file browser invoking the Ubuntu Software Manager. I put the two .deb files in a tarball (tar.gz) and would like suggestions as to how to make the tarball available for other Ubuntu users to download.
View 3 Repliesi am working off of this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Feisty and when i try to follow the instructions below "download tarball manually" i get this. chown: cannot access '/tmp/tmpaIgInN' : No such file or directory

Slackbuild in question is 'scantailor'.I could just change the 'info' file to point to a git snapshot URL, but I would have trouble with the version numbers and tarball checksums needing manual updating, no?

We are trying to set up a classroom training environment where our SIG can hold classes for prospective converts from Microsoft/Mac. The ten machines will have /home/student01..10 and /home/linsig01..10 as users. We want /home/student01 to be able to explore and sudo so they can learn to administer their personal machines at home. We don't want them to be able to modify (sudo) /home/linsig01. I've seen the tutorial on Access Control Lists but I'd like other input so we get it right the first time.

Now, my question is this. Are the 'users' it refers to just those created on this machine? Would a drive-by be able to use my network without entering the password?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an environment with multiple projects that have a variety of government and commercial sponsors. We have been satisfied to this point with a netapp serving nfs/cifs and keeping a tight reign on nfs exports.Some of these projects have started asking us to provide access restricted sub-folders of the project space based on different groups that contain a user subset of the primary group.
We have a linux machine that serves as a version control front end to the netapp, mounting the project spaces via nfs. People are now mounting their project space via sshfs to this "front end" and sharing the root password of this sshfs client with everyone in their project, in turn creating a security hole to access the so called restricted sub-folders. I know all the obligatory responses referring to irresponsible user behavior but would like to see how others have addressed something like this where user behavior seems out of control.
I'm using vsftpd on my server. When I connect (using file-zilla) from other computers on the same network I can't download any files. I can upload, create directories, and delete stuff, but I can't download. I've disabled anonymous access and enabled local user log-in. My /etc/vsftpd.conf
Code:
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf

# The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
# loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.

A small problem made me so bemused:
In the configuration file of proftpd, I place the following setting section in the <anonymous> section,
Code:
After restarting the proftpd server and applying the configuration, I try downloading a file in IE browser. Sometimes, it prompts a saveas dialog, and everything was okay.
However, it occasionally prompts a login form instead of a SaveAs dialog. This makes our customers confused greatly.
So, how could I prevent browser from prompting login form when anonymous users try to download files from our ftp server?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running tests on my SAM file on my XP partition. Partly because I want a password that is hard to crack, and also out of curiosity. While running John the Ripper (no options used) I'm noticing that there are 8 pasword hashes, yet only 4 users associated with WinXP. I know that JTR only does 7(?) characters when it check for a solution. Is the 8 hashes because it separates passwords longer than 7 into 2 hashes, and then cracks them individually as 2 parts? I did try googling this,

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to capture a users password when they login. I am well aware of the security issues with this and I'm ok with this.
We run a call center and I am working on migrating from windows to Kubuntu for the callers. It's policy that all callers must report their password to me, so I already know of everyone's password. There has to be some variable/script that I can "hack" to get the password they typed in to the login screen.
What I'm trying to do is that when a user logs in in for the first time, their profile is automatically created and set up. Setting up network drives, email, pidgin (which the password is stored in plain text anyway, so forget about security on that one), web apps, etc.
Trying to find information on How to capture a users password and all have been responded with the usual lecture on why you shouldn't do this. So I've heard it all before and I know of the risks. Like I said, I already have the callers password on file. If I could capture it, I wouldn't have to manually setup each profile every time we get a new caller, which is often since turnover is quite high in call centers.
I set the profile for Firefox to enforce sudo aa-enforce firefox.Does this now apply to all users on my system or just the user I was logged in as?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThought about posting in the Networking board, but I believe this is a much more security-oriented thread. So let's say I bring my computer to a public place, say a library with one open, public, shared wireless network. I connect to that network. Let's assume that everyone else who's connected is using Windows. Can they see my computer (through Network Manager or other software) and attack it (SYN flood or something)? Or does it depend on the network settings?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 2 servers, web server & mail server. they show 2 users in the summary area when I run w or top commands. But the actual list of users logged in (using either w or who) shows only 1 user.
ps -ef |grep username only shows my current login as a running sshd process.
So I can find no trace of this other user except in the summary line for w or top. I have no shells or other logins left running elsewhere or abruptly terminated, no gui sessions (these are servers), no tty logins. Do I have another user logged in? Has someone hacked me & covered up most of their trail? Why do these commands show 2 users when everything else points to 1 user?
I read the log
Code:
I found this print out:
Code:
The line in bold is the security issue. There is only 1 user account on the system. There should only be 1 user logged in, not 2 users logged in. The remainder of the log file lists 1 user logged in, for similar log output. 2 users logged in does not appear again in the log file.
Does the second line of bold indicate that an attempt was made to log in to the system using SSH?
There was an internet connection interruption (no service) around the time of the log file event. The service did return, later.
Does that line indicate that an unauthorized user logged in to the system?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am stuck in a weird situation and could definitely use some help from gurus in security area.
I have categorized my users into 3:
1. root user
2. other local users
3. LDAP users
I want to setup following 2 usecases:
a)
1. Allow keybased ssh and scp to root users
2. Allow ssh but disallow scp service to other local users
3. Disallow ssh and scp to LDAP users
b)
1. Allow keybased ssh and scp to root users
2. Disallow both ssh and scp to other local users
3. Disallow ssh but allow scp to LDAP users
For the 1. in both cases, I think PermitRootLogin in sshd_config could . For the 3. I am thinking of deploying rssh to control scp service access, since ssh will be restricted anyways.
Problem area is 2. primarily.
i) How to allow ssh but disallow scp to 'other local users'
ii) How to disallow both ssh and scp to 'other local users'
