I'm finding that some of the more secure MSEC levels on Mandrake (msec
level=4) are useful for the box that I have continuously connected to
the net. However, I'd really like to change some of the default
settings such as shell timeouts or even create a new custom level. Can

I've been seeing some strangeness with NEdit on Mandrake 9.1 whenever I
use File-Open from an already open edit window (which has a loaded
file) to open another file. When the second window opens, it looks
normal, but any interaction with it is impossible -- menus do not work,

Thanks for the input James. I've actually tried some of the stuff that
you mentioned. When I experience the problem, the CPU isn't being taxed
in any way. Also, the mount point for the share is not removed and
cannot be removed because the system thinks that the directory is

This worked the first time that I tried it, but there are cases when it
does not work. For example, if after mounting a Windows share the
connection gets broken, the mount will not work, and you might see
things like command-line lockups during directory listings, etc. At
this point, I
I imagine you wanted to grep the output of ps to find the smbd server,
but at runlevel 1 nothing is really running (by default). I get pretty
much the same thing from ps when I have the problem and when I do not.
The first listing is with the problem (telinit 1 first). The second

You might want to try removing those lines in your hosts.allow on your
RedHat machine and replace it with only this line:
sshd : ALL
That will allow TCP connections to sshd on all of your network
interfaces. Of course, if you want to limit SSH connections to only
those from caltig, then you
I've tried to query all of you gurus before regarding various hangs on
my system, but as far as I can tell, nobody has replied to my question.
So, I'll give it a go again. I've read everything on the mailing list
that was written in the last three months about system hangs and freezes
with
bash and msec level = 3
If I remember, I'll try using a different shell to see if that makes a
difference.

I believe that all the users on my system (there are only a handful) use
the default shell (bash) that would be set by using the useradd command.
And as far as restricting the users that can login via ssh, well, I
haven't used the AllowUsers keyword in sshd_config, if that is what
you mean.
Does anyone have a clue about why performing a stat() on a file would
cause it to lock up? I was getting some strange behavior from my system
in that my KDE Konsole would lock up sometimes when performing certain
operations such as find, ps, ls, stat, etc. -- basically anything that
touched
Just out of curiosity, did you make sure that the permissions and
ownership are correct on your /var/www/cgi-bin/wcal directory? I
believe that it should be owned by apache and set to 755 perms.

I suppose that some Linux GUI firewalling tools out there might try to

Yep, looks like you have the necessary stuff for iptables loaded. You
might notice in some of those example scripts (from the email earlier in
this thread) that most load the necessary modules that they require.
For example, here is a section of my own firewalling script that

I'm pretty sure that most of what ICS accomplishes is done through
iptables, and from what I saw not in too secure a manner (at least it
doesn't in the high level security setting). For the most part, if
you know what you are doing, you can replace /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
script with your own.
If I am understanding your question correctly, dircolors gets set in
/etc/profile.d/alias.sh (or alias.csh).
