I create music and usually gets sold world wide. I have some distributors that have been able to access a private server and get the new tunes I make to download via ftp. Well that server is getting full and I was trying to create another directory on my website itself.I created the directory. made the ".htaccess" file. Then I tried to make the htpasswd file but my server just keeps saying no command by that name.

I've recently been running a game server from my desktop, as well as a web page to accompany it.I use the ports 80/8123(HTTP)/5900(VNC)/50500(GAME)/5839(ADMINISTRATION).What's the best solution to protect my server from security threats? On a side note, I plan on adding a MySQL server later, but I want to keep it local only.

Yeh i know i can lock the screen but sometimes other people need to use my computer.

I pay $85 for each of my ebooks and have my UoP password and username to open them.The problem is that I want to move them to my kindle dx which does not support the password part of the pdf file.How can I remove the password protect from this file.Each page is password protected, but I only have to put in my password one time and it opens the whole ebook.However, on the kindle dx, the cursor does not go to the username or password box, so i can't open it on my kindle.I tried buying and using a PDF restrictions remover but all it does is say "Restrictions Removed" but the password protect is still on when I transfer it to the kindle.

I have a folder on my flash drive where I keep sensitive info (important numbers, passwords, etc.) and would like to protect this info in the event that someone gets a hold of this drive.
I figured the best method was encryption so I started experimenting with gpg, but I encountered problems as mentioned here:

I still haven't found a solution so I'm looking into possible alternatives. As shown in the above thread, someone recommended using eCryptfs or an encfs directory. Before I spend anymore time researching this stuff, has anyone tried using these before? Do they work well and do you think these would suit my needs?
The only other alternative I can think is just compressing the folder into a password protected rar file. Would this work well or would I be leaving my data vulnerable?
ALSO, I would a prefer a solution that would still allow me to backup this folder using rsync. I like to keep and up-to-date backup of my entire flash drive by syncing it to another flash drive using rsync.

is there a way to password protect a file or folder from the terminal? i wanted to do this because I may have several friends depositing files on my ssh server that they don't want each other to see. Or i might have a file i don't want them to see.I installed cryptkeeper,but it can't take commands from the terminal. Anything else I can try?

I've reduced my Grub2 menu(using Ubuntu 10.04) list to only 1 item.I want to automatically boot into the one item without providing a password (it does this now). I also want to disable someone from being able to bring up the Grub2 menu and hit 'e' to edit the menu item. Any ideas how to do that? I've been sifting through the forums, but I haven't had any luck finding a post about this

I want to password protect say a subdirectory, or a subdomain via vhost, with a username/password, but use the systems users and passwords as logins -> I want go avoid any and all .htaccess... as everyone should be doing anyway How would I go about doing this? I know my way around the apache configs fairly well, so I'm not a total newb -> I now I can use .useraccess and .pwaccess but that's flat file driven, not based off of the systems users/passwords.

I want to start using videos/music files downloaded from untrusted sources (BT,Sharing Forums, etc.). Haven't made this a habit b4 because of the security risks. I want to take steps to reduce the risk & protect my computer from anything malicious. What are some good choices for this? The biggest step I took so far is using Ubuntu since it's very virus resistant, but other threats do exist out there (rootkits, malicious scripts, etc.). When downloading files from untrusted sources, who knows what may be hidden inside.Some options I'm thinking about:
1) Using a VM (with Ubuntu installed inside) & playing the files inside the VM. If anything malicious happen, it would be trapped inside & I could easily revert to a clean snapshot.
2) Using AppArmor to restrict what the files or program used to play the files can/can't do. AA seems very complicated though.
Are the above overkill? Would it be sufficient enough to just open these files on a non-admin user account since no access to root or sudo?

I've already read and tested the various guides for pasword portecting the menu items. What I need is a little bit different. I need to protect the whole boot menu so normal users cannot select any entry at all and only let the default entry boot.
