Re: Updated Package List

2002-07-31 Thread Markus Fischer
To my knowledge you can safely ignore it. I'm always purging
the package on every server installation I did since I know
my servers don't use rpc at all.

 some of you suggested to remove portmap in order close some more port
 and thereby increase security. Since I never really understood what the
 pormapper was doing, I though I could do without it. However, once I
 tried to uninstall the package with dselect, I got a dependency issue
 saying that netbase suggests on portmap. Is that something I can ignore?
 Thanks for your help.

Re: Iptables not logging

2002-07-24 Thread Markus Fischer
Is klogd really needed ? Just adding a directive like this

#3
# log source
#
# Note: we do not need klogd anymore!
source primary {
internal();
unix-stream(/dev/log);
file(/proc/kmsg);
};

solves it.

Afaik klogd get's uninstalled with sysklogd when you install
syslog-ng.

 Are you using syslog-ng?  If so, when it gets restarted, klogd also needs to
 be restarted.  Looks like there was a bug reported about this -

 Not sure when it's going to make it into woody, though.  The simple fix is
 to modify your /etc/init.d/syslog-ng script to restart klogd.

  I upgraded to Debian 3.0 (Woody).  Ok, not too bad.  But, now 
  iptables no
  longer logs the messages I was sending to LOG.  Any clues?
  
  Hint, kern.log was empty also.  I have restarted klogd and 
  then sysklogd.
  There is a little in kern.log now but not much.  During the 
  original boot, I
  thought I saw some messages about modules not loading.  Could 
  not see the
  same messages in the logs.  I have Kernel v 2.4.18.  Do not 
  have ipmasq
  installed.  Was originally running iptables and stuff from 
  Bunk's downloads.
  (Dumped the init.d script that came with this version of 
  iptables, already
  had my script written.)

Adding is_deleted() would be the first is_*() function in PHP that I
know of that checks if something *is not* something. Really bad. - SB

Re: Resolver Libraries Advisory

I'm completely confused what I should make of this advisory.
If you read the following paragraph:

Internet Software Consortium

All versions of BIND 4 from 4.8.3 prior to BIND 4.9.9 are
vulnerable.
All versions of BIND 8 prior to BIND 8.2.6 are vulnerable.
All versions of BIND 8.3.x prior to BIND 8.3.3 are
vulnerable.
BIND versions BIND 9.2.0 and BIND 9.2.1 are vulnerable.

BIND version 4.8 does not appear to be vulnerable.
BIND versions BIND 9.0.x and BIND 9.1.x are not vulnerable.

'named' itself is not vulnerable.

'named' is not vulnerable, only the resolver library? So if
I've configured all machines to use my named (i.e. they
never contact a malicious dns server), what is the inpact
them?
