System hardening: adding hidepid to /proc?
Good day Guys I came across this document: https://linux-audit.com/linux-system-hardening-adding-hidepid-to-proc/ The idea is to increase security by hiding the display of running processes, and their arguments, which belong to other users. This helps avoid problems if users enter passwords on the command-line, and similar. Its suggesting mount /proc with the option hidepid=2. I would like to ask: 1) is it safe? 2) did you incur any issues? 3) what are your thoughts The security audit tool, Lynis, also checks to see if /proc is mounted hidepid? [+] File systems - Checking mount points snippet - Testing /proc mount (hidepid) [ OK ] Many thanks Brent P.s. I see its not suggested in the ''Securing Debian Manual"

By the way, in case I want to go back to a rolling release scheme, how does Debian testing/unstable behave in this regard for an experienced power user?

Re: CPU's processing division
On Sat, May 23, 2009 at 3:02 PM, Hashimoto xano@gmail.com wrote: Hello, Just a doubt regarding my system processing division. While monitoring the CPU processing I realized the CPU1 is always more busy then CPU0. Right now I'm using the VirtualBox, and the CPU1 is 99% busy, and the CPU0 just 34%. This is normal behavior. I'm assuming that you are expecting the 2 CPU's to each have a balanced equal load. However since most applications are not multithreaded they can only use one CPU. The kernel is the one who decides which processes run on each CPU, and also decides when to switch a thread to a different CPU because it is taking up too many resources. This is done by the process scheduler in the kernel. Multi threaded apps will usually balance the load between CPU's better, but it is not always balanced 100% perfectly. A lot of it is up to how the programmer writes the software, and how good the programmer implements multi threading for their application. Not all tasks will be suited for multi threading either... something that is dealing with complete random access will not benefit from multi threading, as it will probably be limited by high I/O time. On the other hand, something that is high in CPU usage, such as video encoding or 3d rendering, will greatly benefit from multi threading. -- Brent Kolasinski CUIR Tech Center University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Engelmann B26 (414)-229-6363 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

They essentially will both do the job. But im of the opinion that nmap
is the wrong tool for the job. Especially considering its for a bash
script (You can use swaks too).
The beauty about nc is that you can pipe it commands from a file,
therefore simulate various options scenarios etc (e.g. smtp)
Google netcat hacks and you will see the power.
(This is my favourite : http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/h/1058 )
For the orignal poster, he / she wanted to connect and test for a SMTP
server as well as issue a timeout (-w), netcat will do that which you
can grep for. All in all, and what Im really trying to say is that your
code may look a lot neater and easier, as opposed to
case $( (sleep 5; echo quit; ps |awk '/telnet/{print kill $1}' |sh) | telnet

nc -v -w 5 -z 192.168.0.20 25
I always get suspicious, when people start implementing and using kill. Nothing
wrong with it, just think not enough brain power was put in and there generally
is an easier and more elegant solution.

ntp and evolution - configuration problems?
I have some problems with processes not being able to connect to the internet. I have a ntp daemon running, but when I try to syncronize with an internet clock I get the following error message: NTP support is not installed. Please install and activate NTP support in the system to enable synchronization of your local time server with Internet time servers. Also, I cannot send and recieve from evolution for my gmail account. I have the POP and SMTP options the same in my notebook which is running Ubuntu, and it works fine. Am I missing some configuration option here? Something to do with security? Should I be putting anything in hosts.allow? Any help would be appreciated. I am running testing. Thanks, Brent
