Ubuntu Servers :: Syslogng Installation For Centralized Logging

Jan 29, 2010

I need to centralize the logging of several machine on one machine with syslog-ng.I'm currently using fail2ban for security enhancement and logwatch for log reports, which are based on file log on each machine. is it possible to keep local logging for fail2ban and logwatch (logwatch can be dropped, but not fail2ban). One other need is to move old logs to a ftp site for archiving, as in france we have to keep one year of logs.

Another thing I've seen, is that logging goes to a MySQL database instead of the filesystem which allow to have some nice feature as web frontend, search capabilities.how is it compatible with the ftp save?

Ubuntu Servers :: Centralized Login And Remote Home Directories?

Feb 7, 2010

In my desire to learn, mess around and set up something useful on my home network, I'm looking for something that can do centralized login and remote home directories. When someone in my family logs in to a computer, windows or linux based, I want them to be able to use their credentials, then have their remote drive mounted and ready for use. I've looked over ldap solutions, attempted to set up an OpenLDAP server and realized I have no idea what was going on. Is an ldap implementation the proper way to go for my desired solution or am I barking up the wrong tree? I've just now set up OpenDS on a VM for testing but I need to do some research there.

Ubuntu Servers :: LDAP - Centralized Log On Scheme Setup With 10 Computers

Aug 16, 2010

I'm trying to set up a centralized log-on scheme in a research lab with about 10 computers. It's looking like we're going with LDAP - this decision may be out of my control (but if there's an alternative that would be REALLY better, do let me know). My question is we don't really have a domain name, so when all the tutorials say cn=example,cn=com, I can't mimic this exactly. I've been trying to get away with just one, like cn=researchlab. Will LDAP work with just one, or do I need to invent a second also? On the flipside, will it work with more? Our server can be reached by
lab.department.school.edu, could I do cn=lab,cn=department,cn=school,cn=edu?

Fedora Servers :: Samba And OpenLDAP Centralized Authentication

Aug 27, 2011

A time ago I've been trying to implement a PDC linux server with Samba and Openldap for centralized authentication for windows and linux clients, but I can NOT get it. So I read somewhere that there is another option called Directory Server and maybe that is possible to do. According to your experience do you recommend any 'how to' or 'tutorial' that will permit implement a PDC server for authenticating and sharing files and printers for windows and linux clients?

Ubuntu Servers :: Server For Internet Logging And Filtering

Jun 16, 2010

I'm in charge of a church computer lab which is open to children ages 6 to 16 for about 3 hours a week. We try to have adult supervision but don't have 100% coverage.

The lab has a maximum of 8 computers, a mixture of MACs, Windows XP, and Linux machines, depending on their state of repair.

The church's current internet connection is Verizon residential speed DSL to a 4 port wired plus wireless router in a locked office which also houses our Windows XP office computer and is adjacent to our locked pastor's office.

Internet access for the lab is by a single CAT5 cable passing through a small hole in a wall to a network switch on the other side. All of the lab computers are connected to the switch by CAT5 cable.

I would like to add a server in the locked office to log internet usage and block access to certain websites as needed. I think logging internet activity will be a good antidote in case one of the older ones wants to try to get sneaky and cover their tracks.

I envision building a computer from donated parts, including 2 NICs.

I have never done things from the server end, but think the server edition of Ubuntu would be a good starting point.

My goal is to be able to manage internet access with an easy to use GUI system so I could teach the basics to a couple of youth leaders to use it when I'm not there.

Ubuntu Servers :: Apache Not Logging Anymore / Sort It?

Jul 5, 2011

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit Server Edition here. I'm running Apache as a web server. I just found that Apache is not logging to access.log and error.log anymore.

But the service is running well. Log parameter at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf seems to be OK. Here's the line :

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/other_vhosts_access.log vhost_combined

I already tried restart the server, but no luck. Is there any place should I check?

Ubuntu Servers :: Firestarter And Webmin Bandwidth Monitor Not Logging Anything When FS Is Active

Jan 7, 2010

I'm installing a server to act as a firewall between a local network and internet. I've installed Firestarter becaused it worked straitgh away (it seems that FS is configuring the routing as well). I've tried to remove it, and then I lost the access from LAN to Internet. (I don't know why -perhaps the routing is disabled then- , so I prefer to keep it).

The problem is that Webmin Bandwidth Monitor (bandwidthd) is not logging anything when FS is active. Does someone has an idea on how I could make it work? I've tried cacti and some other stuff, but it is far too complicated for me.

Software :: Centralized Log Server With Web Gui?

Sep 24, 2010

I want to set up a centralized log server, and I have several requisites:

1. The ability to view multiple log files via a web interface or browser.

2. The server's ability to send e-mails to the administrators when a critical condition occurs within the log files.

The logcheck application seems like a good start. However, it does not have a web gui so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a program that either works with logcheck or has the above two requisites on its own.

General :: Is NIS Okay For A Centralized Working Environment

Jan 18, 2010

I am working for a web hosting company. We work in red hat linux environment and the employees at present are having their data stored in individual systems. We wish to have a centralized environment, so that users can log in to a server with their user names irrespective of the systems they will set. Also, this could facilitate easy backup. we have about 70 systems, 90% linux machines. The number will grow in future. I am good in NIS, but not at all with LDAP. Is it okay if I suggest NIS?

Security :: Mounting Centralized NAS Server With NFS?

Mar 24, 2011

- we have a bunch of linux servers.

- lots of users work with linux Desktops. They use them as testing servers.

- All the infrastructure has the Authentication services linked by Quest Auth Services againts an AD. This gives us the option of logon scripts, startup scripts, and other things.

- One interesting option this Quest thing gives us is SUDO management. We can edit sudoers file by GPO politics.

- Now we are deploying a NAS server from Hitachi with cifs and NFS mapping capabilities.

- Servers are managed by IT, so nobody can go root except us.

- Desktop users will also mount the NFS shares so they will be able to work with real data and read their own data from servers.

- Desktop users can go sudo su.

- If desktop users go from root to another user, the NFS let them work as they where the other user.

I would like to keep them from swithching users, but only between AD users, they must be able to switch to apache user or postgres user.

Networking :: Centralized Authentication For Existing Network ?

Apr 29, 2010

This is what I have... An existing network with about 2 dozen Linux servers, varied distros, and about 3 dozen workstations, the vast majority of which are Windows XP pro, but there is one Windows Vista business, two Ubuntu, one Mac, and soon to be a Windows 7 pro. User accounts vary across all servers. There are 4 samba servers hosting different file shares.

This is what I need to do... I must centralize the user password database for all workstations if possible, if not, at least for all the windows workstations. I also need the user passwords for the samba file shares to be synchronized with those of the workstations. I need to have the workstation/file-share passwords expire every 90 days. I also must centralize the user passwords for all Linux Servers, but this can be done separately and I know there are tools like Kerberos available for this.

Is this possible to do with so many user accounts already existing in so many different places on the network, or would this "centralized authentication" require new user accounts to be created across the network?

If this is possible, what tools/services are the easiest and fastest to set this up with? As usual, I have an urgent deadline looming over me for this project and am trying as hard as I can to avoid the company slipping back into the realm of M$ or other proprietary software to accomplish this. Keep in mind, I don't need any additional services, such as roaming profiles, or anything like that. I really just need a centralized password database that can be referenced by Windows, and the Samba file shares.

Security :: Centralized Authorized_keys (AuthorizedKeysFile) For Sshd

Mar 9, 2010

I have a RHEL server with users logging in via ssh. I want to start using public keys instead of passwords with ssh. But public key is as good as a rotten tomato if it is unpassphrased and I cannot guarantee that all users will use passphrases. Therefore I will generate both private and public key on the server and will distribute the private key to the user via user-friendly web interface and thats where I will force them to use passphrase. I know they can change later the passphrase or remove it totally but my users are not so advanced.

So now I am trying to setup a centralized authorized_keys file with to be able to make them only root writable so they cannot put their own public keys on the server , it will be handled by scripts. Now the actual problem. I created /etc/ssh/keys directory instead of ~/.ssh and changed AuthorizedKeysFile to /etc/ssh/keys/%u in sshd_config But when I try to connect with the key I get the following error in the logs (after enabling DEBUG3 in sshd_config)

<CUT>
Mar 8 15:22:28 stagesmpp sshd[12248]: debug3: mm_request_receive entering

CentOS 5 :: Centralized Logins And Group Management?

Jul 23, 2009

I have to set up a box which can manage all the logins in our company and has the feature to manage every possible permission with as much comfort as possible. We are using Linux and AIX therefore my Boss is willing to switch from our Windows DC to a Linux DC. And here lies the problem, I don't really know what is needed to set the Box up to manage the Unix, Samba and LDAP accounts with one tool maybe?

I would like to know which Software exactly is needed and how to manage to get the thing to work together with a security aspect. I configured a Samba DC with LDAP, Kerberos and TLS but it looks like I overdid it because Kerberos is not able to manage the things we need in a manner that the other Admins in my Company would get things done in a short time.

Therefore I would like to get listed all the Software needed and maybe some How Tos how to get thing working, because I am losing my nerves on this matter.
In the last 3 weeks I have set up several test boxes but every time something doesn't work. My biggest Problem is to get Samba and LDAP to work together with TLS or another security scenario.

Fedora Servers :: Samba Messages In Syslog - Allow Logging To The Standard Samba Logfiles

Mar 18, 2010

I wish to prevent the samba messages (mainly nmbd and winbindd) from appearing in the system log (/var/log/messages). I want to allow samba logging to the standard samba logfiles, but prevent the syslog getting clogged up by samba. I added syslog = 0 to smb.conf and reloaded the config but the messages were still appearing. I also tried the following (and restarted the syslog via /sbin/service syslog restart) # Suppress messages from samba.

nmbd.* /dev/null
smbd.* /dev/null
winbindd.* /dev/null

For interests sake the messages I'm getting are below (I'm not concerned about the messages themselves, I can chase them up at my leisure via the samba logs) Mar 18 09:58:29 SERVER nmbd[3808]: query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet xx.yy.z.zz for name DOMAIN<1d>. Mar 18 09:58:29 SERVER nmbd[3808]: This response was from IP xx.yy.z.zz, reporting an IP address of xx.yy.z.zz.
