similar to: Importing all users from /etc/shadow automatically (addtosmbpass not found)

Hi, It's been a while since I created my smbpasswd file, and therefore it is no longer in synch with my Unix file. I've added and removed users over time, and now I need a way to update the 'smbpasswd' file without losing the encrypted passwords that are already in place (ie. I don't want to just run 'makesmbpasswd.sh' again). So, I've written the

I'm running Redhat 7.0, with Samba 2.0.7, But I'm having problems with it, I'm trying to get the Linux box to be authenticated on the NT network that we're running. Except that I am a little confused, when I installed Samba not all of the components were installed correctly, when I try to run the following executibles it tells me that they don't exist; addtosmbpass, nmbd,

Dear R-users of non-English speaking countires. Maybe a good news for those who want to use R in their local languages. Recently two Japanese, E. Nakama and M. Okada, succeeded in "making R speak Japanese". At present, R can handle Japanese (as well as other languages, I guess) character strings if one use consoles which can understand Japanese. Also P.

If I patch the 2.4.14 kernel with the grsecurity patch first I get errors while patching the ext3 patch. the link for the grsecuritypatch is http://www.grsecurity.net/download.htm (which ever patch I do first works fine..the onther patch fails) this is the error I get fro patching the ext3 patch second (I get an error inthe same place if I patch the grsecurity patch second) Hunk #1 FAILED at

Hi, this happens since a few days on a Gentoo hardened system using a grsecurity enabled kernel running Dovecot 1.0.10, only to 2 of 10 users though: --8<-- kernel: grsec: From 192.168.0.1: denied resource overstep by \ requesting 537325568 for RLIMIT_AS against limit 536870912 \ for /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap[imap:15708] uid/euid:30010/30010 \ gid/egid:30006/30006, parent

I am trying to run Dovecot on RH 7.3 with Linux kernel 2.4.20 + GrSecurity patch. I downloaded the RPM yesterday and installed it. When I start Dovecot the kernel reports: kernel: grsec: From 192.168.1.22: attempt to overstep process limit by (dovecot:14491) UID(0) EUID(0), parent (dovecot:23872) UID(0) EUID(0) I have never seen this problem in the 3 years I have used GrSecurity together with a

Hi guys, I''m looking for every possible way to secure my dom0 before shipping it out to the datacenter, and grsecurity/pax was one such option. I tried installing the binaries from the Arch Linux repos, but had little success with them (Xen kernel loaded, passed to dom0, then promptly rebooted). I had no clues in kernel.log or dmesg, both seemed normal. Any suggestions or advice?

I've been working with Asterisk for about 2 months now and am doing well. However I decided to switch platforms from Fedora Core 1, that my predacessor was using, to Gentoo, for obvious reasons. It just seems faster and less "bloated" everything I need, nothing I don't. Anyways, I've read what the Wiki had to say about it and I was only confused on one thing, putting

Hello everybody For network simulation purposes I am trying to run a Linux image with a PAX enabled grsec kernel on a Gentoo xen-3.1.1 with HVM. While the image boots flawlessly on real hardware the kernel does not really like the fully virtualized Xen/Qemu environment. It does not succeed to boot (for dmesg see attachment). I first tried with the grsec- patched 2.6.14.6 sources but it

I'm using a simple mbox config with regular Unix users and pam authentication. I'm also using grsecurity. That's why I see what dovecot does in which users' name. As times goes by and new versions are coming I can frustratedly see, that more and more tasks are performed as root. Why? When I used 1.x series of Dovecot, imap process started in the name of the user whose mbox was

Prepare to mark sensitive kernel structures for randomization by making sure they're using designated initializers.

Does anyone know of any Linux-based filesystem that does file-level auditing and logs based on username? Does ext2/3 do such auditing (stock or with patches)? I would like a filesystem that can be told to audit and log file deletions and log the username that deleted the file (similar to auditing on NTFS). I know, I should be using file permissions to prevent this type of deletion from
