Hi Are there any known security holes or necessary precautions in using port forwarding with ipportfw? I'm planning on forwarding ports from an outer firewall/router (connected to the Internet) to a host in the DMZ, then on from the DMZ host to the inner firewall, and finally from the inner firewall to some host on the inside. Thanks, Jens jph@strengur.is From mail@mail.redhat.com Wed

I need to access several Windows domain shares from my linux box. I can access both shares from a Win box where I use my domain login. I placed my domain credentials in /home/przemek/.smb_credentials and I can successfully mount one of the shares: mount.cifs '//elwood.nist.gov/61_NCNR/610' /mnt/ --verbose -o uid=przemek,credentials=/home/przemek/.smb_credentials parsing options:

I've recently installed R for RH5.0 Linux and been considering moving existing work from Splus (Windows, 4.5). Also installed the win95 R, but this doesn't seem to work as well, and in any case the idea is to move toward Linux. 1 I attach and detach directories freely and often in Splus. Is it anticipated that it will be possible to do this in R in the future? 2 The ascii representation

Hi! I'm trying to set up a linux (RH5.0) samba server in our Windows NT network. In the smb.conf file there are: security=server and the TCP/IP number of our WINNS server. How can I create a computer account in the NT domain? Is there any way to specify a user with the ability to add the linux-samba-server in the NT domain in the smb.conf file? Thanks a lot, Jukka Matinvesi

Hi, I am bemused. After some security auditing on RH5.0, I was curious as to what new suid binaries and daemons shipped with RH5.1. The first one I noticed was "xosview". God knows why it needs to be SUID; it probably doesn''t but the makefile just makes the binary suid by default. Linux has /proc which has enough information that ferreting around in /dev/kmem using root privs

Hello samba gurus!!! I have samba-1.9.18p4 installed on Linux RH5.0. Ability to change the SMB password from a Windows 95 client is very fine, but if 'normal' user have no password and record in smbpasswd file apper like this user:uid:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:..... then no chance to change password from a Windows 95 client, and by using smbpasswd.

Running Samba 1.9.17p4 under Linux RH5.0 (a little old, I know, and we will be upgrading before too long, but that's the way it is right now). The network (actually two subnets multi-homed in the Linux machine) consists of the Linux machine, several W95 machines and several NT4 Workstation machines. My problem is that the NT4 machines hang up for a while (approx 15 secs) under certain

I am currently investigating using samba on a Linux box to provide file server services on our NT LAN (I'm a bit sick of NT doing dummy spits on me). I'm running RH5.1, and have just upgraded samba to samba-1.9.18p8-51.3 (using the rpm from http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/redhat/RPMS/5.1/samba- 1.9.18p8-51.3.i386.rpm) The setup includes several NT servers, one set up as

I have set up an area of shared folders with Dovecot 1.2 that is accessed by several people (by way of one account, and everyone who logs in sees these same folders), and the only problem with this setup is that occasionally somebody moves one of the folders underneath another folder or somewhere else in the folder structure, and this sometimes disrupts some automatic procmail filters and the

Imagine the following scenario Last Saturday, 3:00 AM a big phishing attack hits our e-mail inboxes. Spamassassin does not mark them as spam, and our 50.000+ users have in their mdbox a very credible phishing attack. What doveadm-fu could I use to delete (or move to spam) that e-mail from each user INBOX (let?s imagine the Subject or a Header is known)? I repeat: already delivered e-mail, how

This single-instance storage is going to encourage bad habits! I just found myself preparing an e-mail that needs to be sent to multiple recipients - including several within my own organization - yet it's not necessary for everyone (in-house) to get the large attachment. As I was getting ready to split the message into two parts for distribution I remembered - I can just send it to

I try to compile port lang/ruby19 and I always get on a FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE box the following error message, which is obviously triggered by some port auditing - but I do not find the "knob" to switch it off.
