Hi Frank Another (imho simpler and safer) approach would be to change the group of /dev/vcsa f.e. to vcsa (if this group does not exist yet you can create it) and give the group read access to these files. If you add yourself (or the user running /usr/lib/mc/cons.saver) to the group vcsa you will have the rights to read the /dev/vcsa devices without needing to set SUID or SGID bits.

Re: PAM tarpit module for repeated SSH login attempts
On Wed, Oct 20, 2004 at 06:04:29PM +0200, Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña wrote: To tarpit remote password/login attempts I think it would be best if you just tarpited remote attempts for _invalid_ users which I believe you are currently not accounting for. Notice that even if there are known user accounts there is a slim chance that your system might have one of those (unless you are asking for trouble), so you actually get more attempts for invalid users that attempts for valid users with wrong passwords. (This thread has been quite silent after my post, let's see if someone bites...) For those that might not agree with the above, maybe the following URL (From a honeynet diary I just stumbled into ) migh be useful: http://www.security.org.sg/gtec/honeynet/viewdiary.php?diary=20041026 The diary documents 117 password attempts in a single day, for ~50 users. Root concentrates a lot of password attempts (over half of those) but the rest are targeted towards many different users (which don't exist in the system at all) Cheers! Javier PS: A similar pattern can be found at http://www.security.org.sg/gtec/honeynet/viewdiary.php?diary=20041012 (110 password attempts, 53% for root and the others distributed in common user accounts). Only 12% of the users tests are legitimate users. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: forming a security team for testing
Hi, El mié, 27-10-2004 a las 23:33, Joey Hess escribió: - Provide timely security updates for testing, with fixes being made available no more than four days after a DSA is released. - Work with maintainers to include security fixes from unstable that do not have DSAs. - Maintain a public database and statistics about the current state of security in testing. Exactly how we would handle doing security updates for testing will have to be decided by the team. We will probably want to release gpg signed DTSA (Debian Testing Security Advisories) to a mailing list and web site. It seems likely that we could use the testing-proposed-updates queue to build updates, if it gets set up for all arches and continues to work after the sarge release. For tracking issues, we may need to come up with our own system, or we may be able to use the BTS, it if gets the promised version tracking support added to it. We might want to set up our own security repository separate from testing, or not. I'm working on a project that aims to bring as most high security features it can to Debian (Sarge), Debian Hardened/Hardened Debian [1]. We have a lot of work done, but currently there are no final decisions about what Debian people want to do with it (also i think that this must change in the way of start getting in the rid with it and minimal time wasting). I hope i would be proud to give my two cents in anything you want, most in special dpatches and other suggestions.
