similar to: Security checklist for new Centos server?

sorry for the vague subject, but I couldn't find a better one. I have the website http://digifreedom.net running on a Centos 4 VPS with Apache and Drupal 6.10 . This is a multisite Drupal setup: only one installation, with subdirectories in sites/, and a separate mysql database for each website. For several reasons, I had setup DNS, drupal and everything to work without the www prefix on

I'm receiving the centos-request in digest mode. Using Fedora 10 and Evolution. When I tried to reply to a centos-request message inside the digest, the result doesn't seem to look right. I cut/paste the proper subject line (replacing the CentOS Digest, Vol NN, Issue nn text), but some have complained that this approach doesn't allow the original question and replies to be threaded.

Greetings, I would like to install Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 (I need support for SASL authentication via Dovecot) on a Centos 4.4 server. I have already found rpm packages at http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/ and pages about using the centosplus repo for postfix. Before launching rpm or yum, however, I'd like to ask the list which way you think is the best way to do this. By

Hello, I may need to set up soon a Linux VPS, to be used almost exclusively for handling email (as in "2GB of disk space, 2GB/month of bandwidth would be surely enough") with a fully customized postfix/procmail/dovecot setup. I'd prefer to use Centos, which I already use and know. One reason why I'm asking this here is that I'd really like to be sure, before I go for it,

Hello, I have a postfix server which uses procmail as its delivery agent to deliver incoming messages to several maildirs. For several reasons, not really relevant here, I need to process/refilter/sort again the content of these mailboxes before delivering the messages to the _other_ maildirs which Dovecot sees and serves to local or remote imap users. Basically, I need to write some shell

Hello All!!! I was wondering if you can help me little bit.... I am trying to help (voluntary service) a country side school (Aboriginal community) in Northern Queensland Australia setup lab infrastructure, it's a very remote school and they don't have enough funds to go commercial The school has only till grade 6 They have 25 machines that was bought out of the

Hi, there is a remote (VPS) Centos 4.2 server which *may* have been compromised. Reinstalling everything from scratch isn't a problem, it may even be an occasion to improve a few things, the question is another. There are backups of necessary shell script, ASCII configuration files and more or less important email (maildir format, if it matters) including messages with binary attachments in

Aren't Friday's wonderful! I've just been hit up with a request from management to install Samba on our Solaris 8 UNIX servers to share out information to the windows PC's. This wouldn't be an issue if the backend was Windows AD but in our case it's eDirectory. The shares also need to be seamlessly accessible to eDirectory based groups/users without interfering with the

Hi guys, Here's what I'm doing: Upgrading fro Samba 2.2.8a to Samba 3.0.2a Simultaneously migrating to a new server. My checklist: << (*)=done , (-) = remaining >> * Download and install Samba 3.0.2a on the new server * Clone (by hand) hostname, sldapd, nssswitch * Hand edit new smb.conf to match the old config. * Export ldif file from old LDAP db * Dump old Domain SID

Greetings, I run my own email server for some domains I administer, on a centos vps server with a very small number of users. The only services are smtp, imap/pop, webmail Everything was running without problems until this morning. I left home for 1/2 hours, and when I came back everything had become about 100x slower (seriously!). The services were/are still all up and running, but practically

Greetings, I just ran "yum update" on a remote 4.2 Centos install. Then I typed "yum search some package" and got this error message repeating continuously: sem_post: Invalid argument A search for this message revealed only these links: http://www.linode.com/forums/archive/o_t/t_1898/centos4_installations_rpm_database_corruption.html http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1202

Hello, a couple of months ago, also thanks to help from this list, I set up postfix and dovecot for virtual domains on a Centos 4 remote server. I have postfix set up to deliver all email for marco at domain1.net to /var/mail/vhosts/marco_domain1.net/ Everything is fine, as far as postfix is concerned: all email to marco at domain1.net goes in that mailbox, dovecot sees it, etc... Now I need

Hi, I compiled Samba 3.0.23d on a CentOS 4.4 machine. Then I configured /etc/krb5.conf for my domain. Was able to successfully run kinit and join my Windows 2003 domain with a net ads join. Net ads user and net ads group returns the users and the groups of the domain. So far so good. I'm kinda stuck on the next step. I would like to grant access to the share defined in smb.conf to anybody

Greetings, I have accounts on two Centos servers, A and B, each hosted on a remote VPS by a different provider/datacenter. Until yesterday night, I could connect without problems via SSH to both servers from my home Fedora 16 desktop. Yesterday I completed (fingers crossed) the switch to a different ADSL provider. From the moment I turned on the modem on the new ADSL line, I became unable to

Hello, I've read on several howtos that one way to make ssh more secure, or at least reduce the damage if somebody breaks in, is to NOT allow direct ssh login from root, but allow logins from another user. So you have to know two passwords in order to do any real damage. Does this make sense? IF yes, what is the right way to create an user only for this purpose, that is one that can only

Hello, I downloaded yesterday the Red Hat 6.2 RPMs for openssl and openssh from one of the official mirrors. I could install them on a stock Red Hat 6.2 box because rpm -Uvh says (quoting from memory...): cannot install because there is dependency conflict between this rpm (openssh core) and the version of rpm and rpmlib that you are using...... In other words, the rpm packages generated

Greetings, I am setting up Dovecot 1.0.15 on my home Fedora Core 8 pc ONLY to access my mail archives across several mail clients. No access from the internet is possible or needed here. I cannot log in with any client, the login always fails. The reason, as I understand, is that when dovecot starts it doesn't read any user name from the userdb file, so when I try to login it doesn't

Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or
