Secure Mail Server suggestions
by Selcuk Ozturk 18 Aug '00

18 Aug '00

I want to replace our ailing mail server with a new one. It should have an smtp server (of course), pop and imap servers and also a webmail solution. Can you suggest a combination of programs for all of the above that are scalable and most importantly secure? For smtp server, I have only used sendmail until now but I like what I have read about qmail and would prefer to use it if I can find secure and stable imap and webmail solutions that would work with it.

cant use passwd??
by max 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Hi, I am having a very strange problem on my suse 6.3... whenever i try to change passwd for any user, i get [datatwirl@mordor datatwirl]$ passwd passwd: User not known to the underlying authentication module Max Gribov [datatwirl@mordor datatwirl]$ i can change passwd's as root for any user, but the user himself cannot change his own passwd. this applies for all users on my system, and since many of them have default passwd, it became a serious security concern as well. how come this is happening? whats screwed up - pam? passwd? my machine? and what shoud i do about this, besides closing everyone's account? thanks alot max

SLL + Apache how to?
by Francisco M. Marzoa Alonso 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

I'm ussing a SuSE 6.4 distribution and wondering about how to use Apache + SSL. I've installed apache and openssl and try to configure apache to use SSL but take a look at this: bacterio@stormind:~/bin > ./httpd start Starting service HTTPD for BacterioSyntax error on line 372 of /home/bacterio/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/libssl.so.0 into server: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0: undefined symbol: X509_free failed bacterio@stormind:~/bin > As you can see, i'm ussing a secondary server running below another user, but this should not be relevant (the server runs ok with the SSL undefined). The only trouble that could be with this is the 443 SSL port, but that's another history; i want to know what packages i need exactly to have my Apache running with SSL support and how to configure it.

sendmail - where are the .m4-files ?
by OKDesign oHG Security Webmaster 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Hi list, I'm trying to re-configure sendmail with some additional features. So I edited linux.mc and did the m4-command. Now the system complains, that it can't find several .m4-files One of the errors is: /etc/mail/linux.mc:173: m4: Cannot open /usr/share/sendmail/hack/use_names.m4: No such name or directory Hmm, checked my system and found that there really is no such file on the whole disk. Where can I get this file from ? Maybe the reason is that I updated the sendmail some time ago with rpm. What now ? Thanks in advance. --- Stephan

crypt()
by alex medvedev 16 Aug '00

16 Aug '00

hallo, where does the "salt value" come from in the crypt() function? i guess i am looking for an answer for how it is "chosen from the set [a-zA-Z0-9./]". i noticed that the salt value is always the first two chars in the encrypted passwd string, but where does it come from? thanks, -alexm
