hmmm, I would love to use the higer security models in 8.2 and nine, but what stopped me is that stuff that works in earlier hosts.allow/hosts.deny doesn't seem to work the same in them as it does in earlier versions.. (7.2)
for example, in 7.2: hosts.deny sshd: ALL in hosts.allow sshd: 123.123.123.123 and that allowed that host (123.123.123.123) to connect, but no-one else... however, in 8.1 and 8.2 boxes, (and nine I am assuming, but haven't tried) This doesn't work, it blocks all access to sshd and doesn't allow the hosts specified to connect.. so up to now my method is to log into webmin (which is ip locked) on those box's, and use it to hash out the hosts.deny rule, and log in via ssh.. when I am finished updating, I put the hosts.deny line back in.. anyone know what the format of this is with the newer versions? I looked at the man pages, but nothing stuck out as being different.. (besides, Weitse has been known to be slow with doc upgrades ala postfix.) Its not a big issue, but its own that I would use alot for all my services given the ability.. anyone have any ideas on that one??? regards Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rolf Pedersen Sent: Monday, 14 October 2002 1:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Printing under Security level "Higher" Angus Beath wrote: > Hey guys/gals, > > I've got a machine in a uni that needs as much security as it can get. > But, I also need it to be able to print and with the security > permissions set to "higher" it won't work.

What I did was make the edit to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf suggested at the link I give in this MUO Board post: http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.php?t=5416&highlight= I also commented the following lines and added the third: ###AuthType Basic ###AuthClass System AuthType None under <Location /admin> Printing and cups administration *seems* to be working for me now but I don't know what the security ramifications are. That link at the Board contains much more info.
