Can I compile sendmail simply through the ports collection?
Hi, I was wondering if I can simply recompile sendmail from the ports collection for FreeBSD 7.1 server. I need to recompile the sendmail on the server to add Cyrus SASL2 support. The instructions on FreeBSD point to src /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail which doesn't exist and I was wondering if I could simply recompile using the ports collection. Here is the instructions about compiling the Cyrus sasl2 support: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/smtp-auth.html Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Sendmail SMTP server outgoing email rate
Hi, Is there a way that I could configure sendmail so that I could control the rate of outgoing emails?

Yes.
In pf.conf:

pass in on $ext_if proto tcp \

plus you'll need to add a cron job to clear old entries out of the
ssh-bruteforce
table after a suitable amount of time has passed. Use expiretable to do
that. Note: in practice I've found that it's a *really good idea* to
implement a SSH whitelist of addresses that will never be bruteforce blocked
like this -- it's very easy to lock yourself out even if everything you're
doing
is entirely legitimate. Coding that is left as an exercise for the reader.
What is the best way of testing the PF rule? Is there a quick way to mimic

pfctl -s all
To test, you need access to a machine not in your whitelist from where you
can try ssh'ing into the protected machine several times in rapid sequence.
3 times in 30s sounds quite fast, but it is actually not to hard to achieve
accidentally, especially if you use tools like rsync over SSH transport. You
should have a login concurrently from some other IP or on the console,
otherwise
you will lock yourself out.
To see what IPs have been added to the ssh-bruteforce table and when and what
traffic has been blocked:
# pfctl -vv -t ssh-bruteforce -T show
To manually delete an IP from the ssh-bruteforce table:
# pfctl -t ssh-bruteforce -T delete 12.34.56.78
As noted elsewhere in this thread, instead of using expiretable, you can run
this
out of cron to expire addresses over a day old from the ssh-bruteforce
blocklist:
# pfctl -t ssh-bruteforce -T expire 86400
The pfctl(8) man page is pretty illuminating.
Cheers,
Matthew
Thanks,
I have the following in my pf.conf:
ext_if=bge0
# Public Services -- smtp, http, pop3s
tcpPubServices = { 25, 80, 995 }
set timeout { interval 10, frag 30 }
set timeout { tcp.first 120, tcp.opening 30, tcp.established 86400 }
set timeout { tcp.closing 900, tcp.finwait 45, tcp.closed 90 }
set limit { states 1, frags 5000 }
#set loginterface none
set optimization normal
set block-policy drop
#set require-order yes
#set fingerprints /etc/pf.os
set skip on lo0
# Normalization: reassemble fragments and resolve or reduce traffic ambiguities.
scrub in all
pass out all
block in log all
table sshBruteForce { }
block in quick from sshBruteForce to any
pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to any port $tcpPubServices flags
S/SA synproxy state
pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to any port ssh modulate state
(source-track rule max-src-nodes 8 max-src-conn 8 max-src-conn-rate 3/60
overload sshBruteForce flush global)
And I have tried to make a lot of ssh connections to the box and killing them
with ctrl-c or bad-password but nothing gets added to the table. There isn't
anything in the log either. How would I go about figuring out what is wrong?

- Edit /usr/ports/lang/php5/Makefile and add the following line to the

--with-pcre-regex
So your Makefile should have:

--with-config-file-scan-dir=${PREFIX}/etc/php \
--disable-all \
--enable-libxml \
--with-libxml-dir=${LOCALBASE} \

Re: FreeBSD 6.3 installation hacked
I found a script in /tmp directory which could have been uploaded using php or Java. How would they execute the code in /tmp directory? I couldn't figure it out.

It does not look they entered using any apache bug. Probably you had a world writable directory and they managed to access it by ftp (or any other way) and sent a file containing commands to it. Once it is there, they've 'called' the file using apache to execute whatever was in there (probably binding a shell to some port) in order to get access to the box. -- Leandro Quibem Magnabosco. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
