[suse-security]: Netscape certificate
by Timo Schulz 02 Jun '00

02 Jun '00

Hi, is it possible to use OpenSSL/SSL to generate a certificate that can be use by Netscape as a digital user id for encryption? If yes, how? Thanks in advance. Timo -- Two-a-Day at joesixpack.net www.freenet.de/joesixpack keyid BF3DF9B4

merge harden_suse w/ new Bastille 1.1.0pre1?
by Monte Milanuk 02 Jun '00

02 Jun '00

I was trolling thru FreshMeat, and noticed a new update for Bastille, the very thorough hardening script for RedHat/Mandrake Linux systems. I used to run Redhat, and then Mandrake, so I checked it out. The release info on the new alpha 1.1.0pre1 says that most of the Redhat specific stuff, like file locations, has been changed to variables instead, so it should be easier to modify/extend for other Linux systems besides RedHat. Then I started getting excited. Please don't take this as a slight towards harden_suse, as I think it is outstanding that SuSE includes it and the other security packages, which have probably kept me out of more trouble than I know ;)! But my overall impression of Bastille is that it is a little more polished, and I especially like the explanations given for each section/question. Now for the flame-bait question -- Would it be possible to merge harden_suse w/ Bastille, using the new variables in the latest release of Bastille, to set up SuSE systems, including setting the FW_* options in the config file? Thanks for your time and effort, Monte __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos -- now, 100 FREE prints! http://photos.yahoo.com

Apache mod_ssl problem
by Harald Scharf 01 Jun '00

01 Jun '00

Hello, to all. I have an interesting problem. I have installed Apache 1.3.12 with mod_ssl 2.6.3 php 3.0.16 , mysql and sybase support. The Configuration works well, but there is a strange phenomenon : If i try to connect with : http://192.168.100.1/mrtg, i do not get any connect. If i try to connect with : https://192.168.100.1/mrtg i get a connect, but i CAN connect with http://192.168.100.1/mrtg/ So, if i supply the last slash, the Browser establishes the Connection.... WHY ? I think this should work with both urls, because apache is configured with : listen 80 listen 443 Any Idea ? tia Harald Scharf
