Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 19:15:26 +0200
I've just tried to configure my Linux box as a Firewall but I can't get
it!!
First of all I'm not sure to select the rigth answer before rebuild the
kernel
Can anybody tell me exactly what I have to enable and to disable?
Then, untill half an hour ago I could go to Internet from my Linux box.
I have installed dhcpd and tried to connect from a Nt Wks and was all
Ok.
But when I tried to go to Internet the web is very, very slow. On the
contrary ng is working fine.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thank you

Subject: Proper securing of linux server and local network from hackers, etc.
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 21:31:21 -0500
What is the proper/best method for securing a system and LAN configured as
follows:
1. Local LAN uses private Class C addresses of 192.168.0.x, all IP masks
are 255.255.255.0 It has been my understanding that these "private"
addresses are ignored by the internet, and that ISP's, etc. will not forward
packets destined to these "private" network addresses.
2. Linux box is internet gateway, using diald. IP forwarding is ON. I
have heard some comments about not using telnet to login to your linux box,
as the root password is passed "in the clear" across the LAN. However, do
these packets actually go outside of my network? Even with IP forwarding
on? Since the network is all on 192.168.0.x, and my ISP address is
206.x.y.z when I'm dialed in?
3. I have commented out most processes in /etc/inetd.conf, and the ones
that are left active are using tcpd.
I'm not sure about the "talk" and "ntalk" protocols
#
# hosts.allow
#
ALL:127.0.0.1
ALL:192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
#
# hosts.deny
#
ALL:ALL
4. I have enabled shadow passwords.
5. I have a caching name server (named) installed.
6. I have Apache installed for intranet web services.
7. I have anonymous ftp installed.
8. I have the following processes running on my linux box that interact
with the internet - sendmail, fetchmail, leafnode/fetch (usenet), squid-novm
http proxy, diald, ftpget (for proxy ftp).
All workstations are Win95/98. I use GetRight (a batch ftp download
program) that allows HTTP 1.1 retries of interrupted downloads. (All PCs
are configured to use the squid proxy on the linux box).
In the future, I want to set up a ppp server, and allow dial-in to my
system. I currently don't play remote games, but might want to allow this
in the future. I haven't installed ipfwadmin. Should I? What problems am
I likely to run into?
Are there some security programs that I can run on my system that will
safely show me any security holes I have? I seem to remember one named
'satan' 1-2 years ago, but am not sure. Also, is there something in the
same vein that I can run externally (dialed up through ppp server, or
attempt to run against my ip address, once dialed in through my ISP), that
will show any external vulnerabilities?
Vital stats:
Redhat 5.2 distribution
kernel 2.0.36
sendmail 8.9.2-1
fetchmail 4.7.1-1
squid-novm 1.1.22-2

It might help if you post the output of netstat -nr
and maybe ifconfig, although that sounds ok.
Do you have a route to your local network?

Fortunately, IP routing already has built-in features to do precisely this:
the broadcast and network addresses.
Let's say you're using 192.168.0.1-254 for your LAN. Your network address
would be 192.168.0.0 and your broadcast would be 192.168.0.255. Depending on
how your machines are configured, each one of them will answer to either or
both of those addresses (in addition to their normal IP address). I believe
you have to have the Berkeley Packet Filter pseudo-device on your Linux box
for it to listen to the broadcast address, but that's created by default with
most distributions (despite the fact that doing so has certain legal
implications, or at least used to).

I totally agree, it seems to be a misconception held by many people that NT
GUI is the be and end all. They can install a printer under windows 95 so
therefore many people assume this predisposes them to be A1 NT Sysadmins.
Six months down the line they wonder why the network has grinded to a halt
and the server has to be rebooted every 48hrs. However, plonk them down in
front of Linux (without Xwindows and manuals) and chances are they wouldn't
have a clue. They would be on the phone to the nearest Linux guy faster
than you could say "SysOp". I think the general point I am trying to make
is, Leave the Administration to the Administrators, regardless of the
operating system.

Exactly. FYI.
1) When asked some time ago if they would support Linux, Oracle said "No.
There isn't the call for it.". The sales people went back and asked their
developers about the possibility and the response was that they had been
using it as one of their development platforms for some time. The result?
Less than a month after saying "No" oracle was saying "Yes".
2) I work at a major company that refuses to have anything to do with Linux.
It is not considered mature enough, and there is not the support for it.
Unfortunately the management turn a blind eye to the fact that they have
several dozen servers running on it, and quite a few desktops as well. But
the official position is "No Linux". Sad but true
<big snip>

I'm not so sure. I was thinking 2-3 years, but with the advent of OpenLinux
2.2 from Caldera I think you can at least halve that. I think 6 months is a
bit fast.
IMHO Linux is the best. But nothing is perfect. That is why Linux continues
to improve. It's not perfect. It really gets up my nose that all these MS
people keep saying that MS is perfect. It's not. And unlike Linux it desn't
seem to improve. It just gets worse. ie:- Win95s hardware management is much
easier to use than NTs.

This means that sendmail is listening on eny and all PIC you might have.
0.0.0.0 in this context is the wildcard address.
This is so normal so you hardly will see anything else.
This will show up in netstat -a listing with or whithout -n option

Subject: DHCP server and client on the same box?
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 02:07:21 GMT
Hi all... I have been rolling along just fine with my cable modem, IP
Masquerading Linux box and a small Windows LAN until now...
I use dhcpcd on my cable modem interface (eth0). I have been simply
assigning static 192.168.x.x numbers to my second interface (eth1) and
the Windows PC's. Everything works great.
What I am now trying to get working is setting up eth1 to run dhcpd
serving 192.168.x.x numbers and the Windows clients to run dhcp
instead of a static IP (will make life much easier when friends come
over). I can get the dhcp server running fine, all of the clients work
etc., but when my lease expires for my cable modem interface (eth0),
dhcpcd does not seem to be able renew the lease.
I did some experimenting by removing the 255.255.255.255 route from
eth1 and then ifup eth0 - ta da, I get a lease on eth0! (This also
breaks dhcpd on eth1) I have tried adding a second route for
255.255.255.255 on eth0, but this did not seem to help me...
I am out of ideas, can anyone help??

All of what you need can be handled by the script 'smb.conf'. There should be
a samba HOW-TO in your docs directory that can explain what happens. There
are also plenty of comments in the file it'self that will give you a clue to
what the various directives do. The various file accesses in the samba
directories you have set are manipulated by this script file. A good
description of the access rights to files and directories is found in the man
page for 'chmod' (the command for changing rights)......the sticky bit is
referenced in that man page as well. Hope this helps Brent

Hi, Could anyone help me on this one:
If i go in the NT Network Browser on the Intel Netport i see 3 Printers, the
first is PR_LPT1, PR_LPT2, PR_COM1.
I made 3 entry�s in the PrintCap with remote printer on 193.100.100.120 and
the rp=PR_LPT1 and 2 and com1
But if i print, i get all documents on the PR_LPT1 Printer????
