 You'll have to ask the scripts that do that stuff for me  :)

So you don't mind verifying ever couple days that none of your

SSH password authentification and delays

2002-04-06 Thread Vincent

Hi,

I found something quite strange while fiddling with openssh on my
firewall...

If I try to login using a valid username and a bogus password, I get a
slight delay before getting another 'password:' prompt. However, If I use a
bogus username _and_ a bogus password, the prompt appears immediately.

I tested this on an up-to-date woody system and a sid one, and both exhibit
the same behavior. I cannot believe it is intended, as it could be easily
used to guess valid usernames remotely with some kind of brute force
scanner.

The pam_unix auth module seems to support a 'nodelay' argument, but that
does not fix the whole brute force thing.

Anyone more knowledgeable than me care to comment ?

Certainly.  Compared to cleaning up the mess after 100 servers get
r00ted, or 100 servers get DOS'd, running apt-get upgrade on 100 servers
is a walk in the park.  Especially since apt-get upgrade on 100 servers
could be scripted to run off a secure internal mirror, whereas doing the
cleanup might require attention at the console for each of them.

Earn 40% per month - every month!

2002-04-06 Thread cammac



Dear Sir/MadamI obtained
your e-mail address from an auto-responder. You are not on a mailing
list.I recently joined an investment program. I can now safely say that
I have found an investment program that pays, pays well and pays on
time.I am now receiving 40% per month on my investment and I also
receive 5% of the funds that people I refer invest. I’ve just entered my
forth month and I’ve earned 120% of my investment. I’ve also earned quite a bit
from referrals – that’s a bonus I wasn’t counting on.The company frowns
on spamming so I won’t give you the name here. I want to get the word out to
make more referral fees before the memberships are full.If you would
like to hear more please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 and I’ll get back to you right away, you’ll be happy you did.If
you are upset you received this e-mail I’m sorry but don’t worry. This is
the only one I will send.Thank you,Cameron
MacDonald
