debian10/11 ssh from ipv6 address not in /etc/hosts.allow = sshd segfault segfault
Hi, I just noticed many many sshd segfaults listed in /var/log/kern.log. There are two versions. They look like this: sshd[1086]: segfault at 7fff615eaec8 ip 7ff2a586f42f sp 7fff615eaed0 error 6 in libwrap.so.0.7.6[7ff2a586e000+5000] sshd[1094]: segfault at 7ffcd3ff6f08 ip 7f18d4f5dac7 sp 7ffcd3ff6ed0 error 6 in libc-2.31.so[7f18d4f2a000+14b000] The hex addresses are different each time, but the rest is the same. It happens every time there's an incoming ssh connection attempt via IPv6 when the IPv6 address isn't listed in /ertc/hosts.allow. There are many because it's a cronned backup. I am using /etc/hosts.allow for sshd and have a mixture of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in it. When I added the IPv6 address in question to /etc/hosts.allow, the segfaults stopped and the connections worked. This started 2 days before I upgraded to debian11 and there was a different version number for libc (so it's not new), but it's still happening with debian11. It might be a bug in libwrap0 (whose version number didn't change much), or in how openssh-server is using it. cheers, raf
WARNING: debian11 + bind-9.16.15 + dnssec-policy in options{} = crashes
Hi,
If like me, you've been eagerly awaiting debian11 to
get bind-9.16.15, which finally lets you implement
DNSSEC extremely easily on debian stable, I have a
warning.
Bind has a dnssec-policy {} stanza for defining your
own policy if you're feeling adventurous, but there's
also a default policy. And there's a dnssec-policy
usage directive to specify which dnssec-policy should
be applied to zones.
Bind's documentation says that the dnssec-policy usage
directive can either appear in the options {} stanza,
so as to apply to all zones, or it can appear in
individual zone {} stanzas.
My advice is:
DO NOT PUT DNSSEC-POLICY IN THE OPTIONS {} STANZA.
ONLY PUT DNSSEC-POLICY IN THE ZONE {} STANZAS.
I put it in the options {} stanza, not realising that
"all zones" doesn't just mean all of *my* authoritative
zones. It really means ALL zones. That means every zone
/etc/bind/named.conf.local (i.e. my zones), as well as
every zone in /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones i.e.:
localhost
127.in-addr.arpa
0.in-addr.arpa
255.in-addr.arpa
And, if you uncomment the include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918"
in /etc/bind/named.conf.local, then it also means all of
those zones as well:
16.172.in-addr.arpa
17.172.in-addr.arpa
...
31.172.in-addr.arpa
168.192.in-addr.arpa
What happens next is that bind tries and fails to
create .jnl files in /etc/bind for these zones.
Apparmor or the directory permissions prevents it.
This sort of thing appears in the logs:
general: error: /etc/bind/db.empty.jnl: create: permission denied
general: error: /etc/bind/db.255.jnl: create: permission denied
Then bind gets an assertion failure and exits:
general: notice: all zones loaded
general: notice: running

general: critical: #7 0x7fd079590def in ??
general: critical: exiting (due to assertion failure)
This repeats again and again until you work out what
happened, clean everything up, remove the dnssec-policy
from the options {} stanza, and restart bind.
And, unless I went temporarily insane, it even managed
somehow to overwrite my source zonefiles with signed
versions, and I had to restore them from backup. When
it works properly, it puts the signed versions in
separate files.
However, if you put the dnssec-policy usage directive in the
zone {} stanzas instead, it's absolutely brilliant.
So, go nuts. DNSSEC all the zones!
Well, not *ALL* the zones.
You know what I mean. :-)

It's working now on the original VM. Someone else reported
that keys have finally made it to a German mirror, solving
a similar problem for them. I guess I was having the same
A problem with the Australian mirror. But maybe that's just
a guess. The keys aren't actually new. But it sounds like
something to do with something taking a while to propagate
to mirrors.

Thanks, but removing keys from /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d
didn't help. There is no apt-keyring package. And I
couldn't bring myself to uninstall the
debian-archive-keyring package because I assumed that
would make it impossible to ever install anything ever
again. There was an old debian-keyring package that I
removed. But nothing helped.
Never mind. On another VM with the same sized disk, an
upgrade of a fresh debian-10 install got past that
point happily, but then ran out of disk when it got to
the kernel. So it probably wouldn't have worked anyway
(but 1GB spare should have been enough). Another VM
with double the disk upgraded fine.
And the important VM that matters upgraded fine as
well. So it's OK now.
Although bind9 crashed in a heap and dumped core and
couldn't run, as soon as I got it to DNSSEC-sign all my
zones. I wasn't expecting bind9 to crash immediately on
debian stable!
And it overwrote my carefully crafted and documented
zonefiles. I wasn't expecting that either (having read
all the documentation on the subject).
But that's a discussion for a different mailing list,
unless someone here knows what the crashing is about
(bind9-9.16.15 + DNSSEC = firetrucks and sirens). :-)
I hope I won't have to wait too long for bind9-9.16.19.

Hi,
I have two questions, wish to get advice,
Question 1:
For a series of files:
cat a_*.o* | grep WARNING
It's one of the useless uses of cat[0].
Use:
% grep WARNING a_*.o*
instead.
some file like a_1.o12 has WARNING, but others does not have WARNING
How can I let grep returns the filename?
% man grep
-l, --files-with-matches
Suppress normal output; instead print the name of each input file
from which output would normally have been printed. The scanning
will stop on the first match. (-l is specified by POSIX.)
Question 2:
ls . | xargs -i -t cp ./{} {}.bak
How does xargs work,
I checked google, :
Maybe it's time to start checking man instead ;^)
% man xargs
-i : replace the string
--replace[=replace-str]
-i[replace-str]
This option is a synonym for -Ireplace-str if replace-str is
specified, and for -I{} otherwise.
This option is deprecated; use -I instead.
-t print
--verbose
-t
Print the command line on the standard error output before
executing it.
but still lack well understanding,
it's quite self explanatory ;^)
how those xargs organise things,
and
$ ls .
a.txt b.txt
above will give a.txt.bak b.txt.bak
ls | xargs -i cp ./{} {basename {}.bak}
definitely not work,
How about:
% ls | xargs -I '{}' cp '{}' '{}'.bak
BTW, if you're only after copying the files with .bak appended to the
copied file name, this should suffice.
for i in `ls` ; do cp $i $i.bak ; done
There are other ways to do it as well.
Sorry I send it to debian list, I asked on another bash list, for
two days the second question, no one replied. I have much more faith
in this list.
Good to hear that, but maybe you should start to reading more and
test a bit yourself before you write an email. It'll definitely be less
than two days to find a solution and sometimes it'll take less time to
find it in the manual than to write an email.
I appreciate the fact that you're a beginner but your problems are
NOT Debian-specific and ARE trivial to resolve so maybe it's time
to learn how to look for solutions yourself rather than others holding
your hand all the time, eh? ;^)

Only Windows system lacks for a ssh client on a default install and this can be easily solved with one of the mentioned programs that don't require even installation at all because they're portable. I was writing it with Windows in mind indeed. Solaris and Linux both have good ssh clients available from the usual repositories. I'm well aware of that, thank you. If it doesn't play nicely with the system, then yes. There's no explorer extension to work with SFTP - that's enough for me. Shell integration on the window client is not a powerful argument for dropping the easier and securest solution, IMO :-) Most secure - yes. Easiest - no - for this very reason. Let me give you an example - you have a server with you film and music collection, and you chose to share it using SSH. Windows users will have to copy files to their local machines each time they'd like to listen to music or watch a film. Not to mention a document which needs editing - copy from server to local machine, edit and upload it again. No direct access for Windows users is enough of a pain for me not to choose it for home, heterogeneous network. Another thing is encryption. Why would you need it on every file you access at home-only network? Again, for access - yes; not for sharing. The line between sharing and accessing is very thin. For instance, I have a samba share to which I access from my Debian boxes (meaning the samba share is not mounted locally but accessed via smb:// protocol). That's enough for me because I get/put files on the share sporadically. We're coming from different points of view. My preference over one NFS for unix only machines using one system mount over per user mounts comes indeed from enterprise where users' files are located on a server and accessed frequently. I still use that kind of setup at home for unix-only machines as I don't like to authenticate every time I need to access a file. I also use SSHFS (unix-only) accessing files over the Internet, and CIFS (unix, Windows) at home as it's better suited for that.

However, if one has been stumbling along there is something to be said for walking before running. Keeping things in one place is a good practice IMHO. Security is another - /etc/network/interfaces is world readable by default. Better keep settings like passphrase or PSK in one, root readable file. I also recommend actual PSK rather than passphrase. I'm unsure of the advantage this brings as an ASCII passphrase is converted to a 64 hex string internally anyway. A disadvantage is passing an incomprehensible PSK on to someone to allow a connection to a network. Main advantage - you're not keeping your passphrase in clear text on your filesystem. PSK is precomputed from a passphrase for a specific SSID and passphrase cannot be quantified from it. There's no disadvantage as you can still use the passphrase, there's no need to pass the long PSK.

You don't need security on your LAN interface. Never had I mentioned that you shouldn't have firewall on your WAN interface. Your WAN should be your firewall and if that's not sufficient enough then there's something wrong with your network setup.

If you're running a wireless setup, even with WPA2 protection, I'd still advise security. Let's not get paranoid - firewall + RSN should be enough on a home network. IMHO, it's not - dozens of options for both the server and client. You simply mount the NFS share and it's transparent to the system. Well, in all fairness - NFS requires that the user ids on all systems match. Forcing such a match can be quite troublesome. If we're talking about r/w access then it might be, yes. Then you'll need NIS, LDAP or Kerberos. FUSE as it name suggests is in user-space, NFS is supported in the kernel. You don't have the overhead. Overhead is peanuts :) No, not really. But for a home setup, convenience trumps performance. And besides, when's the last time that your desktop machine was pegged on CPU? I use some ancient machines, but I guess it's just me ;^) For the current situation, I'd advise sshfs. If it's integrated in Nautilus, all the better. But SSH is only point-to-point -- as soon as you're sharing files with more than 2 machines, NFS is the way to go. Thank you, that's exactly the point I was trying to get across, file access and file sharing are two different things. My 2 cents: even for Linux-only systems, there really is no satisfactory answer to the OP's question besides Samba/CIFS. All (Unix-)native solutions have their roots in enterprise (managed) networking, which implies manual setup. In terms of autodiscovery and autoconfiguration, nothing can hold a candle to the original SMB. If we're talking about file sharing, not per user access, then r/w will always be an issue, regardless of what protocol you're using, unless you don't care about security at all. Regardless of how you look at it, you'll need to set it up somehow - either a server with a user database on it (SMB, SFTP, etc.) and authenticate every time you connect to it, even if it's just for r/o access; or set up a file storage server (e.g. NFS) with minimal effort.

You're using 100MB as both the minimum and the maximum size of the /

space even for a basic installation - read point 7 in the document you

My desired recipe contains an explicitly declared PV, some more LV
with more defined stuff and follows all the rules I found in the
debian-installer:$doc/debian-installer/devel files (which could
really need some more examples and rules description),
In the same document read points 5-6.
The basic problem is the wrong calculation of the minimum size. I
already tried it with different priorities to see their effect on
the result, but no change.
I guess it's not the priority - it's the size.

Internet connection works fine. Let me recap: Internet over mobile --- Debian PC --- Ubuntu PC I can ping the Debian PC but cannot ping the Ubuntu PC, how come? Where from? I would like to share files between these two systems. From what I understand my options are Samba, SSH and NFS. I only used SSH before and it takes a while to set-up securely and I haven't used NFS or Samba, not sure how steep the learning curve is. Because it's a direct ethernet connection, SSH is more than what I need for this situation. I don't think a secure connection is needed. Is there a simpler way of achieving this? If you're only trying to share files between Debian and Ubuntu, without any MS Windows involved, you don't need Samba. As you mentioned before SSH is an overkill as well - I'd suggest NFS in that case, it's very easy to set up. There are other ways of achieving this, e.g. FTP, but IMHO using a mounted filesystem is easier and more convenient than using some sort of client software, especially on home-only network.

On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 01:52:14PM BST, Harry Putnam wrote: I don't understand why a few people have passed over ssh as being overkill. SSH (Secure Shell) - you don't need security on home-only network. Its easiest of all to setup. (well excepting the nautilus suggestion) IMHO, it's not - dozens of options for both the server and client. You simply mount the NFS share and it's transparent to the system. I mean with fuse and sshfs, then it acts much the same as nfs far as enduser experience. FUSE as it name suggests is in user-space, NFS is supported in the kernel. You don't have the overhead. nfs doesn't really apply to windows commonly, although there is an nfs program for windows. We're talking about Debian and Ubuntu, not Windows - besides I already mentioned the rationale behind NFS in regards to that. These days its not that hard to get sshd running on windows either. Windows 7 is bit more than it used to be, what with needing a new user and such.. but still once its setup... ssh is quite a nice solution. SFTP on Windows on a home network is an overkill. If Windows was one of the systems I would've suggested Samba as CIFS is supported in Windows without any additional software required. In fact with the choices mentioned so far (again excepting nautilus) sshd is the most versatile. It isn't IMHO - see above.
