 I have an old 486 without a cdrom in it.  If I pull the hard drive and 
 stick it in another machine to perform the install will this work?  
 And if it does work will it make the system any less secure?

Just make sure you choose a kernel compiled for youre architecture (i486 
or less).
Also, watch out for youre /etc/fstab, if you install your hardrive has 
secondary slave on the installation system and has primary master on the 
destination system you migth get some difficulties trying to boot your 
new system.

Good luck  enjoy !

  is it true?
  can it infect my debian systems? (woody, sid, potato)?
  how?
 
 If you run an infected file - yes. Otherwise - i don't think so (they
 don't say if it exploits any vulnerabilities other than user's
 stupidity/ignorance).
 
 Basically, if you run binaries from an unsafe source, you get what you
 deserve.

Man, I try to be a honnest individual, I hope I don't deserve something
like that !

..., Is there such a thing has a 100% safe source for binaries ?

Re: mod_ssl pass phrase related question

2002-03-22 Thread Dominique Fortier

Would'nt it be related to having a self-signed certificate instead of
the one you built ?

 mod_ssl pass phrase related question
 
 
 Hallo Debian folks,
 
 I've installed the Debian package libapache-mod-ssl
 on my workstation box in order to learn how to setup
 http secure transactions with my Apache webserver.
 
 Once installed mod_ssl I've created a sample ssl 
 certification for my local workstation, https works
 quite well and everything is ok, well nearly everything :)
 
 When I restart the apache by hand or it comes up
 through Debian's init.d script it requires that I provide
 the daemon with the pass phrase because some of my private
 key files are encripted.
 
 How can I avoid this ? I mean let me assume I need to restart
 my box from a remote connection, when the init.d script
 is going to start apache I must be fisically there to provide
 the daemon with my pass phrase, that's not always possible.
 
 Should I keep my key files unencrypted, or is there another
 solution which preserves security ?
 
 Thanks for any help !
 Have a nice time,
 
  - Ivo
