Your friend's IT has made a reasonable request and your friend should 
comply.


In addition, change the initialization so that Apache does not 
automatically start
on rebooting would be an extra mile to show good faith. A contrite email 
would

also help.

I don't know much about all this stuff, but from your previous posts,
I'd think your friend doesn't need to have Web Sharing on for the
things he does.

The System Preferences panel "Sharing" has many check boxes for
different network features, so he can deactivate Personal Web Sharing
(and Apache) without affecting his ability to access the network.

Maybe Bruce (what a helpful genius you are!) can comment if this is
good advice.

If that is the case what is his complaint.  I seriously doubt that it is 
a php script which is handling this process.  It is most likely some 
version of a bash script.  Like I said before, you will never convince 
this guy he is wrong about Macs.  Peace, Dennis in Victoria

Apache on the Mac does not come with mod_php enabled by default; if web sharing 
is turned off, apache isn't running.

Have you friend do this (with his IT guy, if the windows droid has any clue 
regarding unix)

Start Terminal.

grep php /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf 

You will most likely get:

#LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache2/libphp5.so

The hash at the beginning of the line indicates that it's a comment, and so the 
module is NOT running.

to find out if httpd is running, look in activity monitor, or do this in 
terminal:

sudo ps aux | grep httpd
Password:

If Apache is running you'll get :

_www   120   0.0  0.0  2455412948   ??  S 7:30AM   0:00.00 
/usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND
root25   0.0  0.3  2455412   6468   ??  Ss7:30AM   0:00.37

johnson369   0.0  0.0  2437432892 s000  S+8:23AM   0:00.00 grep 
httpd

If it isn't all you'll get is:

johnson369   0.0  0.0  2437432892 s000  S+8:23AM   0:00.00 grep 
httpd

If Apache is running do this in terminal

httpd -M 

And you'll get a list of all loaded modules (this is the default Snow leopard 
list) :

If your friend IS running apache and does have php running, just make sure php

Finally... NONE of this has diddley squat to do with it being a Mac. ANY system 
running Apache/PHP could be affected.

Does anyone else see anything missing from the list of "Affected 
Products?"  Like anything from Redmond, Washington, USA?  Hmmm...? 
This list looks like a whole lotta bullshite!  I work with M$, Linux and 
Mac OS-X on a daily basis.  I am a certified Cisco Networking 
Instructor.  This is pure fear, uncertainty, and doubt.  Windows has 
been known for YEARS to have numerous PHP exploits that they will NOT 
patch because it would disrupt one of their "features."  The IT guy's 
servers most likely have numerous php scripts running on them now if he 
has anything like an intraweb running.  The only thing a Mac person can 
do in this situation is move his Mac off the network.  You will not 
change this guy's mind.  Peace, Dennis in Victoria

PHP is a widely deployed scripting language, designed for web based development 
and CGI programming. PHP does not perform proper bounds checking on in 
functions related to Form-based File Uploads in HTML (RFC1867). Specifically, 
this problem occurs in the functions which are used to decode MIME encoded 
files. As a result, it may be possible to overrun the buffer used for the 
vulnerable functions to cause arbitrary attacker-supplied instructions to be 
executed. PHP is invoked through webservers remotely. It may be possible for 
remote attackers to execute this vulnerability to gain access to target 
systems. A vulnerable PHP interpreter module is available for Apache servers 
that is often enabled by default.

What version of OS X is he running?  Apache is active if he has "Web

OT. A Problem with IT

2010-05-14 Thread Brian Christmas
G'day listers

Friend of mine got this email from his strictly PC IT manager, blaming him for 
an attack on his network via my mates Power Mac (which is on the network).

I can't really help him, but knowing you guys, someone will know what's going 
on.

This IT guy is very, very anti Mac.

Asterisks are mine.


Any advice please.

Regards

Santa

And what, you ask, was the beginning of it all?
And it is this..
Existence that multiplied itself
For sheer delight of being
And plunged with numberless trillions of forms
So that it might
find
itself
innumerably
