Sep 4, 2010Is there anyway I can disable an account from being logged in via Putty, but permits someone else to "su" into the account? For example, an application is being run as "app_account". Because there will be multiple people administering this application and the password is shared for this "app_account", I want to disable 1st level login for it. I want to make it such that only the permitted people can "su - app_account", once they have logged into their personal account. How can I do this? If I set app_account's shell to /sbin/nologin, the users are also not allowed to do "su - app_account".

Aug 10, 2010I've been able to kludge a kill script which finds the correct pid for the kdeserver (or gnome server) after my system comes up in run level 5 so I can drop back to run level 3 mode. Lots of experimentation showed me that using telinit 3 and telinit 5 would occasionally leave the video memory in a mess and I would have the black screen of death.
I set the security parameter setting to autologin for me since I am the only user of my machine, but I still have to kludge the default setting under sysconfig (the DEFAULT_WM) under Window Manager to pick a certain window manager, so it takes time to manually switch the desktop.
Right now I can leave the gui and drop back to cli, but painful experimenting showed me that killing the X server is a no no. Right now I kill the kde server, which sends the SIGTERM to the X windows manager, which then figures out that it has to shut down.
Questions: Is there a better way of doing this? Apparently openSUSE figures that we have multiple users logging into the gui desktop, so the gui is always kept running and a login window with the desktop manager option forces the user to login in. With autologin, this never happens, but no choice of desktop is possible on the fly.
Can some type of script be set up to painlessly enable this to happen? And what is the best way of bringing either the Gnome or KDE desktop manager down gracefully? I do get lots of error messages as the system attempts to recover and X shuts down. It appears that apparently the single user with autologin is left out in the cold.

Jan 15, 2011hello everyone, im having a problem when my computer enters in the run level 4 as the default when i start slackware. The strange thing is that it not seems that is a X window problem, it looks like more like a configuration problem in some part of the kde script to initialize the log in, because if i manually start the X service it works fine, i dont know what is the source. Thank you in advance for the help.

Fedora :: Can't Switch To TTY Or Run Level 3 From Run Level 5
May 12, 2009Hi Guys,
here is my scenario:
I am running F10 x86_64 with Nvidia Quadro FX 3400.
I installed the drivers and it worked just fine. No errors generated according to Nvidia log files.
However, while in run level 5 when I try to switch to run level 3 by typing "telinit 3" or "init 3" the X server goes down and I get a blank screen. Same thing happens when I try to switch to a different tty session by <ctrl>+<alt>+F2 (or any F key for that matter).
I also noticed that when I shut down my system I can't see any more the screen where services are shutting down and their status ([OK] or [failed]).
Would appreciate your help on solving this issue.

Jul 6, 2011I know how to assign file permissions and other tasks like user to group, but I'm stuck with a situation in how I should set up my system.So I have a LAMP server set up. I'm not the only developer so I created a group called "developers" for my other users "Mike," "Alex," and "Cindy," which are developers (I'm Mike by the way). I know that "www-data" is the user and group Apache uses.This is good because only I have permission to update the production site, but for the dev site, it's a different story.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSecurity :: Apache SSO Using Mod_auth_remote?
Aug 18, 2010Has anyone used the mod_auth_remote module to delegate authentication? I have two apache2 servers. One is a content server and the other one is the sso/auth server. When the content server receives a request for a resource protected by basic authentication, the request is forwarded to the sso server for authentication. So far so good. But, the sso server should return a http 200 to the content server and granting access to the user. However, the sso server always returns a http 301 to the content server. So I appear to be stuck in an authentication loop.
Content server config:
<Directory /var/www/html/secure/>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Content server"
AuthRemoteServer sso.intra
AuthRemotePort 80
AuthRemoteURL /auth
[Code]...
Or perhaps you have a better way of accomplishing apache sso across multiple servers?
Security :: URL (Not URI) In Apache Access Log?
Mar 6, 2010I happened to be looking at my Apache-2.2.8 log on an Ubuntu LTS 8.04.4 system, and noticed a few lines like this:
Code:
61.160.212.242 - - [06/Mar/2010:07:04:41 -0800] "GET http://218.30.115.246/ HTTP/1.1" 200 295 "-" "-"
61.160.212.242 - - [06/Mar/2010:07:05:29 -0800] "GET http://218.30.115.246/ HTTP/1.1" 200 295 "-" "-"
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [06/Mar/2010:07:56:15 -0800] "GET http://218.30.115.246/ HTTP/1.1" 400 290 "-" "-"
(The third line is me telnetting to the server and trying to issue the same request. Note that I got a 400 error response, while the guy coming from 61.160.212.242 got 200s. Also, if you just open the http://218.30.114.246/ URL, you get back "hello" (nothing else, just 5 characters). I'm presently putting together a bootable CD with chkrootkit to run on the machine. (I found a thread that mentioned in passing that this was related to PHP, which I have running on that Apache server, but my Google-fu isn't strong enough to track down the original thread.) (After checking with chkrootkit: nothing unusual found.)
Ubuntu Security :: Alerts When Apache LOGS Contain Certain Data
Jul 10, 2010Does anyone know of any software that can monitor the Apache logs for certain phrases or keywords then send an alert when found? For example I know an attempt to hack has been made when I see log entries like this....
/admin/
/admin/phpadmin/
/phpadmin/
But by the time I see it, the attempt has long since failed or succeeded. What I need is a way for my server to alert me WHILE someone is entering these phrases. I realize there may be a "hit" to performance but my server is not that busy anyway (except for hackers).
