I have an Apache 2.0 server running www.havenstead.net
Needless to say I am being probed and intrusion attempts all the time.
Especially from china and korea. I am trying to stop them. I would like to
totally block them from accessing my server in any way. Someone suggested
using .htaccess but that will only block that file. I want to stop them from
ssh,ftp,etc.
As I said,I am new at this. I dont know most of the terminology and
basics. I have bought stacks of books and such but the way I learn is by
doing. Setting up the server,security,different levels of access,php,perl,
and so on. I have learned a lot but got a long way to go. When I have a
problem that I am trying to solve,I dont know the "vernacular" or "format"
of the different commands.
I want the server to be secure with my being able to monitor it. But I
hope to get a group of people on it regularly. I want to have the http
server up,ftp,pop3 server when I am thru.
I have another project I am looking into as well. I want to build and
setup a dial-in server. Where another computer can dial-i (as you would do
with your ISP) and the website will pull up. Something similar to the old
message boards. Something with a message board layout that will be easily
loaded. and a way for me to update files remotely (ftp?). This is mt next
project that I have been looking into.
Thanks,
WA Brown

What are you trying to accomplish here? Somebody said you should have
tcp wrappers, but why? And was that for Apache, or the server in
general?
The server should have it by default, but you can check by running:
rpm -qi tcp_wrappers
As far as I can tell (I looked on Fedora 3 and RHEL 4), Apache is
probably not compiled to use tcp_wrappers. As Pat and Alan mentioned you
can check by running:
strings /usr/sbin/httpd | grep hosts_access
- or -
ldd /usr/sbin/httpd | grep libwrap
Assuming Apache's httpd binary is in the same place I have it.
But, as I said, what are you trying to achieve. There are many
experience sysadmins and power users on this list and somebody can
probably help.
