new feature for linux.nf
I managed somehow today to find time to figure out how to make SpamAssassin run as a sendmail milter. So, as of this afternoon (11-feb-02) all mail into and out of linux.nf is scanned for spam. Please note that this will NOT prevent the spam from getting through, but all mail recognized as spam will be clearly marked as such.

{RFC} sendmail sxs
I don't normally do this, but seeing as everyone uses sendmail for something else and uses some other feature that no one else uses, I expect to get a big benefit from this. Attached is the *start* of a sendmail sxs. Please review, and reply with comments, additions, etc. I'm hoping to buld out a section of the site for sendmail and all the things can be done with it (the various addressing games, anti-virus interfaces, spam killer interfaces, etc) so all comments (or even better, small write-ups) are welcome. Please refrain from 'use postfix' and other such comments. those programs are getting write-ups in the near future on their own merits. we're dealing with demystifing sendmail right now. thanks! -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: Linux StepByStep - http://linux.nf /* So there I am, in the middle of my `netfilter-is-wonderful' talk in Sydney, and someone asks `What happens if you try to enlarge a 64k packet here?'. I think I said something eloquent like `fsck'. */ 2.4.3 linux/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_nat_ftp.c Title: Sendmail - from the source Sendmail - from the source This document describes installing Sendmail to utilize some of it's neater features, to be a little more secure (we will run Sendmail under a non-root id), and so we have a better understanding of Sendmail itself. Please note that we assume you have already installed Procmail. Since early in the 11.x series, Sendmail's milter interface has been greatly improved and enhanced. We are going to build Sendmail with its libmilter feature turned on. We do this because the milter interface is the preferred method of enhancing and extending Sendmail. The milter interface can be used to "hook" anti-spam, anti-virus, and many other features into the Sendmail daemon. If you're interested, please see www.milter.org for the latest developments in milter features. Download the latest source archive from www.sendmail.org and extract it tar zxvf sendmail.8.x.x.tar.gz Create Sendmail's needed directories, and ensure their proper permissions/ownerships mkdir -p /etc/mail /var/spool/mqueue /var/spool/clientmqueue chmod go-w / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool Add our new user and group for Sendmail to run as groupadd smmsp useradd -G smmsp smmsp Ensure ownership of needed directories chown root / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool /var/spool/mqueue chown smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/clientmqueue chmod 770 /var/spool/clientmqueue chmod 700 /var/spool/mqueue Configure Sendmail to use the libmilter interface cd sendmail-8.x.x vi devtools/Site/site.config.m4 insert the line: APPENDDEF(`conf_sendmail_ENVDEF', `-DMILTER') please note that the above are NOT all single-quotes. they are: backtick,quote,backtick,quote Build and instal libmilter cd libmilter sh Build sh Build install Build the sendmail daemon cd ../sendmail sh Build sh Build install you should see '-DMILTER' periodically during the compile Now we need to configure and build the dreaded CF files cd ../cf/cf cp generic-linux.mc config.mc vi config.mc jump down to the line that says 'DOMAIN(generic)dnl' insert the following lines: FEATURE(local_procmail)dnl FEATURE(smrsh,`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl FEATURE(nouucp,`reject')dnl This defines procmail as the LDA (local delivery agent) This moves smrsh (Sendmail restricted shell) to a more sensible location This turns off UUCP messaging and generates a 'reject' for anyone who tries to use UUCP sh Build config.cf mv config.cf sendmail.cf cp sendmail.cf submit.cf /etc/mail The supporting tools are now built and installed cd ../.. sh Build sh Build install Final configuration cd /etc ln -sf mail/aliases ln -sf mail/sendmail.cf vi sendmail.cf Find HelpFile and change it to: HelpFile= Find PrivacyOptions and change it to: PrivacyOptions=authwarnings,goaway,noreceipts,noexpn,novrfy,noetrn,needmailhelo,restrictmailq,restrictqrun,restrictexpand Find SmtpGreetingMessage and change it to: SmtpGreetingMessage= Find HostStatusDirectory and uncomment it Rebuild your aliases file newaliases Decide if you machine is going to accept incoming mail from other systems, or if it is going to only send outbound mail.

init and defunct process cleanup

Re: an interesting experience
Michael Hipp babbled on about:
I just spent a very long frustrating week working for many hours every day
to get an ATI XPERT 128 card to work under Linux. Xfree says it works. The
COL list says it works. But I tried 2+ different distros and 3 different
machines and more XF86Config files than I care to remember and it would not
function under X even at 640x480/60Hz. All the helpful ideas from the COL
list were to no avail. I put it in a Win2k box and it is configured 1st
time correctly (and no reboot required). I put it in a Win98 box and it at
least comes up and works at VGA resolution. {Many other examples could be
cited - this is just the one I'm infuriated about at this moment.}
that's strange. just list the ChipID statement in your XF86Config file.
I had this working before I switched machines. 4.2.0 (which just came out)
supports this out of the box as well. This particular issue is no different
on windows vs. linux. it's a driver issue. the chipset on recent xpert cards
are different than the previous. windows will say i dont know what the video
card is, use vga where linux says i dont' know what the video card is. tell
me. no real difference

They should in Philips' view clearly inform users that they are copy-protected, and they shouldn't use the Compact Disc logo because they are not, in Philips' considered view, proper compact discs at all. [...] Meanwhile, the second barrel of the Philips shotgun is CD burning. In a Reuters interview Gerry Wirtz, general manager of Philips' copyright office, said that the company would be building CD burners that can read and burn copy protected CDs. He argues that the protection system is not a protection system as such, but simply a mechanism for stopping the playback of music. This interesting claim allows him to contend that the protection systems are not covered by the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and lays the ground for the mother of all sue-fests with the number of large and rich companies who are most certainly not going to agree with him.

Is there a step for this? this is pretty close. I could write one, but there really isn't much more to it. why not keep notes while you play and then submit them?

too many fscking kernel patches!
Is anyone besides me trying to keep up with the flurry of kernel patches on lkml concerning scheduling, memory-mapping, pre-epmtion, etc.? If so, does anyone have a good idea of what works, what works together, and what don't? I'm currently running 2.4.17 with the preempt patch from rml and grsecurity (let me take a minute to advocate grsecurity. this patchset rocks! www.grsecurity.net for the details. I don't use the ACL stuff, or the heap stuff, but the extra logging, the extra control over the netwking, the added net devices in the entropy pool, and the other protections are SWEET!). So far, this combination rocks! My system is running at a very good clip, and is pretty damn secure. However, I'm looking at the reverse-map patch (Ingos?) and I can't tell if it will work with the pre-empt or not (and would it be beneficial?).

What are you guys using? rc.firewall? shorewall? mon mothma? others? thanks! -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: Linux StepByStep - http://linux.nf What am I?...

Re: opinions on iptables scripts?
Joel Hammer babbled on about: I would STRONGLY urge you not to use any script for your security. Scripts are basically black boxes. You can't rely on a black box. You have to know about security. I know. But they are usually good starting points. I already know ipchains inside and out. My ipchains script is even up on the SxS. But I wanted something to look at for iptables.

Re: opinions on iptables scripts?
David A. Bandel babbled on about: I have firewalls in a number of places (companies, organizations, individuals). Each one custom rules. Some things (almost) never change, and those are the basis for the scripts I provided LJ with my article. My recommendation: decide exactly what you want to do and implement those rules. Don't use a canned script. If you don't know what you want, perhaps you shouldn't try (alone), but get someone knowledgeable to help. exactly. I know what I want open and to whom. that I can probably implement. I just wanted to see what this list thought was decent starting points to examine how others are doing the iptables things. For those who enjoyed my basic Netfilter article, I'll have another (more advanced) article RSN. what's the URL of the previous article? also, post the new URL when it goes online please. thanks! -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: Linux StepByStep - http://linux.nf /* After several hours of tedious analysis, the following hash * function won.

Re: CAL_UP.SH and Douglas
Herbert H. DeLong babbled on about: Do you have CAL_UP.SH yet? Where can it be found? yep. it's just the script without the install or other docs, but check http://hunley.homeip.net/tools/ -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: http://linux.nf Admin: http://hunley.homeip.net die_if_kernel(Penguin instruction from Penguin mode??!?!, regs); 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/arch/sparc/kernel/traps.c ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
