Re: [ilugd] Mutt, postfix setup for multiple e-mail accounts
In infinite wisdom Vikas Rawal said the following On 7/6/09 12:04 AM: On my laptop, I use mutt with postfix for sending e-mails, and fetchmail for receiving them. Postfix is setup to relay mails through gmail. I am the only user on the computer and all mails originating from the computer are sent from my account. A limitation of the present setup is that it sends e-mail only from a particular gmail account. I have, like most people these days, a couple of different e-mail accounts that I like to use for different purposes. I would like to set up mutt and postfix in such a way that I could use these various accounts for sending mail. I have set up mutt profiles for different accounts. With that mutt is able to send mails with different From: headers. What you need is called address rewriting. http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html.

Someone said Drupal is hackprone... and yet Drupal is being recommended over Joomla!!! Security is an important concern to me, so would prefer a CMS which is more secure. Another factor to keep in mind is the programming language you are comfortable with. My suggestion would be to choose a CMS that is in your programming language of choice, since that would make changing/fixing/writing plugins for it easier. If you are worried about security, you can put apache in a chroot jail and run it with suexec module. Not that this would gurantee you anything, but it would protect you against script kiddie attacks. -- raj shekhar facts: http://rajshekhar.net | opinions: http://rajshekhar.net/blog Yoda of Borg are we: Futile is resistance.

Mercurial: One of the modern VC systems considered notable on Rick Moen's knowledge base. One difficulty with hg is that it insists on the distributed model. Putting the version control history outside /etc (a la CVS) would require convoluted mounts. GIT: Another modern VC system (though not notable as per Rick's kb). It is rather similar to Mercurial in many ways. One difference is that one can use the environment variable GIT_DIR to point to a different directory for storing VC history. Some reasons to keep VC history outside /etc: 1. This way one can easily check for cruft without adding an explicit ignore for .hg or .git ... 2. Uses less space in /etc. 3.

This can lead to a lot of problems. Theoretically everything is possible, from modifying the user file system to launching processes, installing ROOTKITs, you name it. I recommend to disable Firebug for now until the issue is fixed. The issues is a bit critical since Firebug is one of the most popular extensions for Firefox. Given the fact that a lot of the Firefox users are geeks, the chances to have Firebug installed in a random Firefox client are quite high. I wrote two POC to demonstrate the issue. You can find them from the page on the top of this message. The first POC runs calc.exe and cmd.exe on windows systems.

[ilugd] [Fwd: Re: [svlug] Firewalls?]
A good mail about security from a discussion about firewalls that have been going on in the SVLUG list Original Message Subject: Re: [svlug] Firewalls? Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 23:47:47 -0800 From: Rick Moen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quoting Raj Shekhar ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I did not get the part about the wrong problem. Can you explain what you mean by that ? Glad to. Security measures aim to handle anticipated _threat models_ -- scenarios of harm: Logically, before you can design (or pick) a security measure to implement, you need to articulate what threat you're trying to protect against, why it's a threat, what's at risk, why it's a more-significant threat than other risks you could be worrying about, etc. All of those measures you spoke of appear to assume implicitly that brute-force dictionary attacks across the Internet against your sshd -- e.g., the dozen bursts / day of about 23-30 joe-username login attempts each that typically hit every public IP on the Internet -- are a serious threat. Are they? For the sake of discussion, imagine that some attacker spends his ssh-attempting resources against only _your_ IP, and attempts to work constantly at progressing in some fashion through the userspace of all possible Linux usernames and passwords. (This never actually happens, but could in theory.) Bear in mind the considerable lagtimes within and between failed attempts. So: Guesstimate how long, on average, it's going to take to crack one of your login accounts that way. (For the sake of discussion, ignore the fact that your /var syste growing to stupendous sizes because of the sudden mountain of entries in /var/log/auth.log, which in fact would either be a tipoff or knock your system over.) It's pretty much going to be impossible for the attackers to get into your system that way, within geologic timescales -- unless you or one of your users happens to have used some unbelievably easy to guess username/password pairing. You might be able to see this coming: If your system allows users to employ some unbelievably easy to guess username/password pairing, isn't _that_ your actual fundamental problem, and not the doorknob-twisting so-called attacks? In my personal view, measures like you described (and I know such recommendations are made really, really frequently, so I'm not intending to single you out) lack any real point because they designate as a serious threat something that, realistically, is not actually significant at all, on any halfway reasonably run system. You could actually predict that by looking at what those ssh attackers typically try: They (or rather, their scripts) attempt only about a score of really lame username/password pairs, attempting to find some basically wide-open system, and the give up and move on to the next IP. Unfortunately, many Linux people don't stop and do threat analysis before designing and implementing suggested remedies. That's how we get massively overbuilt, over-complex systems that are aimed against things that aren't even really threats, while other _real_ threats don't get addressed for lack of time and resources. Security's a difficult problem, and also requires an attitudinal approach that's alien to most people, including particularly programmers. Here's an example: In cryptography, all other things being equal, the newest cipher designs from respected professional cryptographers should be expected to be stronger than the older ones, right? After all, the new designs are based on learning from the experience in designing and implementing the older ones. (We're counting, here, only older ciphers that haven't been cracked.) However, the exact opposite is actually the case: Older uncracked ciphers merit much greater trust than do newer uncracked ciphers, because they have a much longer history of surviving inventive, determined attacks of all sorts from other cryptographers. E.g., Bruce Schneier will tell you that his relatively new Twofish cipher is _probably_ a really good example of symmetric crypto, but is way too unseasoned to put much faith in yet, and that you're much better off relying on 3DES or Blowfish. And I predict that nine out of ten coders would tell you the newer ciphers will tend to be better. ___ svlug mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/svlug -- raj shekhar facts: http://rajshekhar.net | opinions: http://rajshekhar.net/blog I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

I don't think cms are inherently slow. My own site runs joomla and serendipity and I live on dial-up at home. However, I don't find it painfully slow (a bit slow, but workable). One cheap method for preserving bandwidth is to have mod_deflate (or mod_gzip in apache 1). Another trick is to make your sites mostly-textual. There are sites which can measure the speed of your site and recommend you what to do. Using those sites to actually measure your site's speed will be better instead of dismissing a good system based on a 'hunch'. -- raj shekhar facts: http://rajshekhar.net | opinions: http://rajshekhar.net/blog I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] linux clustering
in infinite wisdom Yashpal Nagar spoke thus On 10/20/2006 03:46 PM: Hi Raj, We are going to SUSE 10 Enterprise linux, i am thinking of the following. Heartbeat http://www.linux-ha.org which comes already bundled with SUSE and seems to be quite stable. http://www.continuent.com/ really have no idea how much stable it is. I have not used either suse or the linux-ha. The point I am trying to make is - if you are going to use linux-ha to just have 2 instances of mysql running, then you can do that by having one mysql replicate from another (master-slave) on any stock linux distribution. You don't have to have the linux-ha running on top just for having high availability mysql. I am not suppose to change the architecture here by puting all read to one server and write to other, i am looking a two node active/passive cluster for linux. By active/passive I assume you mean hot/cold i.e. only one of the machines will be active at any time and the application will connect to just one machine ? If that is the case, you can set up replication and have the slave as standby. When master fails, take the master offline and you point your application to use the slave instead of the master. Repair the master and then point your application back to the master instead of the slave. caveat: If you are having the slave just as a cold standby for the master, I think that is wasting a machine.

The indian army uses it to a large extent (part of the colonial legacy). I get a lot of emails everyday (150-200 would be a close figure). As such, I can say with confidence that people find it easier to read emails that are written in plain english, i.e. without using sms lingo or trying to write roman hinglish. As far as the part about colonial legacy goes, yes, I find it easier to read english rather than hindi. If anyone starts writing in hindi (and thunderbird will have no problems in showing such emails), I will simply pass over that email. if u cn rd this, u nd a dictionary. -- _.-, raj shekhar .--' '-._ http://rajshekhar.net _/`- _ '. http://rajshekhar.net/blog ''._`.. \ ` \; WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE ;_\-- God's Last Message to his Creation ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
