Server is back up and running. Also completely removed the sendmail package from the system.

Server seems to be down for some odd reason. Roommate probably turned it off (sob), and I'm away from my house right now so I'll see what I can do in a few hours.

Msmittens I will certainly consider that. I'm not going to do an entire lock down, but it never hurts to secure the box to it's upmost capability. Could you go a bit more in depth on how sendmail...

Good! No more uptime reporting :)

Now, I'm disabling the sendmail daemon since I will not be hosting a mail server. Went into /etc/rc.d/rc.M and checked to see how it loaded up sendmail.

Correct, wanted to learn how to operate a SILC server and am loving it :)



I don't think it's actually running on two ports. I think you have normal SMTP and them a subsystem of sendmail for...

Soda, very very interesting. Keep pecking away at auth and tell me what you get. Also, I need you to actuall try and exploit that identd bug. Because if it's a false positive then that isn't going to...

Thanks for the rescan and information on auth. Sounds like it might be required for sshd and ftpd after all.

Sendmail? Sendmail is running yes but I only see SMTP running. What is the second one...

Soda, do me a favor? Paste the command you used when scanning my server with Nmap, but omit the IP. That way people can see what you did to gather that information.

Closed a few unneeded services...

Odd, all it really needs is one guarenteed blocked port and one guarenteed open port. Granted, maybe the more comparisons it has the better. Side note, I wonder which ports (stupid me) are from the...

dmorgan, all you need now is a PGP or GnuPG account. If you need help getting one, say the word.

Would love to have you on board :)

Remember, all of this is the defafult configuration setups so I have not begun secure the box.

What did nmap -O return?

Also looks like I need to start closing up those services. Wasn't aware...

The services that are running will be the services that I typically use to access my servers: ssh, ftp, and apache. No extra accounts for shits and giggles, so that means one normal account and one...

I agree, and apologize for the annoyed tone I had earlier. Got my featheres ruffled over the issue of 'trust', and need to lighten up on the way it's handled on AO.

When in rome... lol

MsMittens, zencoder. I do understand where you are coming from, please know that. But I'm coming from such a close-knit community of network security operatives that something as childish as...

Christ, if this isn't annoying to hear. Much less have two people repeat it.

I will be pming Soda after I edit the index.html to show I have complete ownership of the server, by giving him the IP...

I've just setup a server behind my router that I intend to spend quite a bit of time on, relearning the linux configurations. Took too long of a break and need to get back into the swing of things....
