similar to: New Program: Abacus Sentry - Port Scan Detector

Hello, I would normally not write this list to announce an update to a software package, however there have been a number of very significant changes to this program that users of it may want to upgrade and new users may want to check out. What it is =-=-=-=-=- Sentry is a port scan detector for Linux, *BSD, and most UNIX variants. What it does =-=-=-=-=-=- Sentry monitors your systems for

A lawyer in California is trying to change to linux. In CA, there are a number of programs required by the courts, and so far none are ported to linux at any price. His reason for wishing to change has to do with the fact that Microsoft now controls his access to his own files, and he finds this unacceptable. I tried one of his apps, an old DOS version of Abacus. Using the WINe with Redhat

I'm attempting to install Abacus Law (v13) under Samba and Linux. Install completes, and I get as far as a single user successfully logged in, but the 2nd user is nothing but trouble. Samba logs show nothing unusual to my semi-trained eye, but locking code or timing is a likely suspect. Technical support is of no help as they haven't tested (and therefore don't support) the

Introduction Some time ago I posted on linux-security to say that I was working on a client/server pair which would allow you to invoke a privileged service in a more secure manner. I''ve now

I contacted Mr. Heinonen, and got the response below. So, he says the problem is, it is 16 bit DPMI, which is rare, and the real problem is, DOSVM has a bug which allows two simultaneous interrupts. I assured him I was not asking anyone to work on the problem at all. I needed to get a handle on it, I had thought it was a locked selector problem. Learning what the real problem was, is a big

I have an application that uses the Sentry plug-in. I am using Sentry on my Users model for encrypting passwords. It works fine inside the application, but whenever I call User.create in my migration (in order to set-up a default user) I get the following error when I run the migrations: rake aborted! undefined method `symmetrically_encrypts'' for User:Class Has anyone experienced this

I''d like to hear from some one who has been using Sentry successfully. I am trying to symmetrically_encrypts :password for a user model. It is a bare bones model just to test Sentry. I have password defined as ''text'' in the users table. I have openssl library installed on Debian Sarge. The secret key is defined in environment.rb. But when I submit the form I get

I am still trying to get sentry working to encrypt a couple of attributes in the model. One of them is a password field and the other ssn#. I have crypted_password and crypted_ssn in the db. In addition, I also have validates_uniqueness_of :ssn Here is the problem... I get the error MysqlError: Unknown column ''ssn'' in ''where clause'': SELECT * FROM students

Hi everyone, I have seen this question here before, but without a very satisfactory answer. One of our half a dozen clients has lost access to a set of OSTs: > lfs osts OBDS:: 0: lustre-OST0000_UUID ACTIVE 1: lustre-OST0001_UUID ACTIVE 2: lustre-OST0002_UUID INACTIVE 3: lustre-OST0003_UUID INACTIVE 4: lustre-OST0004_UUID INACTIVE 5: lustre-OST0005_UUID ACTIVE 6: lustre-OST0006_UUID ACTIVE

Hi. I'm trying to add some vertical lines to an xyplot in which x axis is a temporal variable (class=dates) and y axis a factor variable. This is my code: xyplot(factor(Abacus$Emisor)~Abacus$Dia,xlab="Date", ylab="Fish",pch=124, scales=list(x=list(format="%b %Y",tick.number=30)) , panel=function(...){ panel.xyplot(...) panel.abline(v=08/08/2008) }) I'd

Many of the security problems we''ve had to deal with recently have been where one program invokes another when no good level of trust exists between them. Currently solutions to this requirement are produced on an ad-hoc basis, usually involving set-id programs (often setuid root), superuser daemons calling user programs for `upcalls'', or both. There are problems with this

I am looking at adding the Sentry plugin to one of the applications that we are working on. I have a need to store some info that will have to be encrypted and decrypted. I have been going through the docs for the plugin and the AsymetricSentry class looks like the best for what we need to do but I am not sure how to generate the key. The docs say: This is a shortcut for using an

Hello dear list. I am having issues on parkedcalls.

This is yet-another reason to _partition_ your disks. Of course hard links do not work accross filesystems. Even thought it is a pain in the neck to do when installing your operating system, think about separating critical system files from non-critical and non-system files from system files. I would say that the following layout is a good place to start: / /usr (nosuid,nodev,ro) /usr/local

Hello again dear list. Could you please help with this? Thank you for all support, you are great, and i am now at a late stage in the setup and tweaking this server, So I hope you can help me again.

Hi all! I am from the Windows world and am trying to migrate to Linux and have done a fairly good job so far. My recent challenge is that I have built a Samba file/print server that works very well on my internal network but when I VPN into the network remotely I am unable to access the server via it's server name. What is driving me crazy is the fact that the last of my Windows

Hello there I have been struggling with queues, because i think this is the right module for our business. My main goal, is when we receive external calls, the receptionist should be able to transfer the call to us Technicians, and I am trying to add 2 extensions to a queue name [teknisk] Extension 301 and 302. I have a test setup now which I thought should look like this: When a external call

Hi, There are several programs that will basically take the outputs of your scans and store the results in a database. If you size the database appropriately, then querying that database will be much quicker than querying the filesystem. But of course the results will be a little bit outdated. One such project is robinhood. https://github.com/cea-hpc/robinhood/wiki A simpler way might be to

Hello, All: tools::package_dependencies('Ecfun') failed to find how my development version of Ecfun was using rJava, which generated errors in "R CMD build Ecfun". This is because package_dependencies by default uses CRAN and ignores locally installed packages. What do you think about having this function check both locally installed and CRAN versions? It can

I am extremely puzzled by this behavior in R. I have a data frame called Trials in which I have results from an experiment. I am trying to do a subjects analysis, but getting weird results. Each row has 1 trial in it, which includes a column for the subject number I get the list of subject numbers like so: > Subj=unique(sort(Trials$Subj)) Then I loop over them. But I get strange results. As
