Evolution (aka JimPerrin - or is this the other way around?) has been working on this excellent wiki article: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection However, the discussion is taking place at his own blog site http://www.bofh-hunter.com/ . Because this is a CentOS wiki article, I just wonder why we cannot do it here. Sure, his blog site may collect a wider audience, but we traditionally

Hello All, My username is MikeThompson The link to configure Aide at the bottom of this page: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection Is dead, and says its dead, however, the old link to http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2008/04/10/centos-5-and-aide/ now redirects to a malicious website. One of my less than savvy users got his windows machine infected there last night. I'm wondering if it

Hi all; On OS Hardening ( http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection ) there's a section on "Physical Protection" that includes requiring a single-user mode password. There's four lines that look something like this: echo "Require the root pw when booting into single user mode" >> /etc/inittab echo "~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin" >> /etc/inittab echo

But I guess with Akemi dragging me out over the OS_Protection page, I'm a member now :-P I've got no problem discussing it or other changes here. I set it up on my blog mostly because there wasn't a way to have comments on the page, and I didn't want to open the wiki page up to editing by outside sources right away. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes

Hi Guys, I would like advice for best practices to secure my linux boxes. Know if I have been hacked, know of security breaches, etc. Can anyone provide advice? -Jason

i've managed to catch the exploding connections database in the act. i was able to attach gdb to the smbd while it was going crazy: (gdb) bt #0 0xf55da in tdb_expand () #1 0xf5787 in tdb_allocate () #2 0xf6554 in tdb_store () #3 0x6534 in claim_connection () #4 0x406a2 in make_connection () #5 0x1e105 in reply_tcon_and_X () #6 0x3e256 in switch_message () #7 0x3e8c7 in chain_reply ()

I have recently received an e-mail message regarding the above wiki page. I reproduce it, below, less the header. As I was the last to edit that page, I am mentioned in the details at its foot and that is from where the message author's error originates -- as I'm not the original creator of the page. The broken link is to a section of the blog of Jim "Evolution" Perrin. Are you

Hi Akemi, I am unable to edit any pages. Not even my homepage ( https://wiki.centos.org/LucianMaly?action=edit&amp;template=HomepageTemplate ) Please advise.

G'day Further to a little discussion on #centos-social IRC, I'd like to put together a wiki page that describes the steps required to lock-down the ports used by NFS. I expect it'll be quite short, with details on which NFS related config files to edit and a short iptables excerpt that covers the relevant ports to allow. I'm thinking this could go under HowTos -> Security?

how to ensure systems users have strong passwords enabled -- Regards Agnello D'souza

Dear all, i Just finished setting up an apache service on a centos 5.2 VM machine. i need to secure this machine as i'm soon to be setting a public IP over it where i'd be opening up the following services: 1. http 2. https 3. ssh Things i've done so far: 1. stopped root ssh access in sshd.conf 2. tried configuring PAM so i get a more secure ssh passwords (dictionary wise) as

I have been searching around samba-tool --help under various options and I am not locating any adjustments to passwords. Like "User cannot change password" or "Password never expires". Granted these are W10 settings in 'user properties' (as examples.) Where would I find password edits or changes, etc.?

Hello, I have recently set up a Samba based file server running 3.0.27a. This file server is part of a Windows 2003 domain, with ACL and extended attribute support enabled, and appears to be functioning properly except for one critical issue with the ACLs. When I try to edit the permissions of a file through Windows, the default POSIX ACL that I set up on the filesystem seems to be masking off

For a while, IfranPaint has given me trouble in keeping the changes it has made applied to the original. In 4.25 I found that if you zoomed to "Original Size" it would keep it's data (lines text, edits, etc.) when the dialog was closed, but now, in 4.27 (with the latest 4.13.67 version Paint) , there is nothing I can find to keep the changes. Even saving "in process" does

Every now and again the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf on my CentOS-6.5 server are commented out. I used to think this was the fault of NetworkManager, but I've stopped running that on the server (using the network service instead) and the nameserver removal still occurs. I'm baffled by the motivation for this, as I can't think of any situation where it would be of advantage to have
