  SSH Security
Posted by: xDamox - 2004-12-23, 04:47 PM - Forum: Remote Access - Replies (1)


This is a little tutorial on SSH, I though I would make my contribution ;)

 

The first trick is changing the SSH servers port and enforing clients to use SSH protocol version 2 this can be accomplished simply by editing the /etc/ssh/sshd_config

 



Code:
#Port 22
#Protocol 2,1




 

Delete the hashs '#' where Port has its number 22 set that to any number you want once you

have change the port you can simple delete the colon ',' also deleting the 1 so it should look like:

 



Code:
Port 22
Protocol 2




 

Now to enfore Strictmode, "StrictMode" is a setting to make sure that the transversal

to the user's ssh settings are correctly set to non-writable modes and

correct ownership so that access to the account is strictly enforced.

 

edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and you should see

 



Code:
#StrictModes yes




 

delete the comment so that the SSH server will read it and enfore StrictMode.

 

well thats about it [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Posted by: hijinks - 2004-12-20, 06:58 PM - Forum: Tips and Tricks - Replies (10)


I have used this to create video FAQs when I do a GUI app for clients that pay for my work. It adds that bit of professional touch

 

First we have to install the ming libraries. This lets us create flash movies. NOTE: vnc2swf does not work with ming v.3 at the time of writting this

 



Code:
wget http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ming/ming-0.2a.tgz
tar zxfv ming-0.2a.tgz
cd ming-0.2a
make
make install
ldconfig -v




 

Now that our ming library is installed.. Lets download and compile vnc2swf which we will use to grab a vnc session and turn it into a flash movie file.

 



Code:
wget http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/vnc2swf-0.4.2.tar.gz
tar zxfv vnc2swf-0.4.2.tar.gz
cd vnc2swf-0.4.2
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install




 

Now that vncrec is installed. We have to start a vncserver. You can use any vncserver you want. I assume you have one up and running. So now we run the following command as the user that started the XServer

 



Code:
vnc2swf -truecolour -startrecording demo.swf localhost:1




 

Now you should have a demo.swf file in the same directory you ran that command in. NICE! You should be able to view that in a browser now or some flash viewer.

 

Now we can add some nice tags to improve our little flash file

 



Code:
-soundfile <mp3-to-play>  # That will loop a mp3 file while the demo is playing
-framerate <frames-per-sec> # will change the framerate to make it smoother or to conserve filesize




 

From there we can import it into a webpage by using the following code

 



Code:
<embed src="demo.swf" width="600" height="400" loop="false" quality="high"  pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

  GNOME CD player
Posted by: johnnyh - 2004-12-20, 12:45 PM - Forum: Fedora - Replies (2)

Here's the other FC3 problem I've not been able to solve. Audio CDs play when using GNOME CD player, but there is no sound. I have checked sound level in GNOME, in the CD player, un-muted both CD drives in alsamixer, updated udev, checked permissions for /dev/hdc, /dev/cdrom (777) and had the CD player point to both, all to no avail. Oh and yes, the CD drive is plugged into the soundcard. I'm sure I've overlooked something minor, but I can't arrive at what that something minor is.

  FC3 + Firefox 1.0-6 + Java SDK 1.4.2_04
Posted by: johnnyh - 2004-12-20, 12:38 PM - Forum: Fedora Core Release 3 - Replies (2)


Is there a known issue with Java 1.4.2 and Firefox 1.0? Or with either of the above and FC3?

 

I've symlinked /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins, checked that the plugin is there using about:plugins, but Firefox crashes every time I load a page that uses Java. I tried changing the symlink to ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/. but same result. This same setup works just fine on my Debian machine, so I'm really at a loss. Any ideas?

A SysAdmin wrote an open letter to all of us on the intar-web. Check it out...it's got lots to do with how it took him five hours to remove all the spyware on his wife's PC, and then when he opened IE to run Windows Update, half of the 'ware came back...
