Re: [suse-security] PHP-Majordomo to execute commands on demand?

26 Jan 2002

      I've done so: leave ssh running , and after logging,
run the inetd to have other services, then, i stop it
before leaving. BUT, checking the messages file, a
have already found some ssh scans (it tells DONT
PANIC, and dunno what it means), so i decided to close
the most srevices and run them as needed... is ssh (on
suse 7.2) safe enough?

Thanks for the help, im not so new on linux, but new
on security issues.

linux uses a page like

Hi everybody
...
...
...
...
Im trying to improve security by making the
...
minimal
...
...
services to run on a 7.2 server, now, my
question
...
is
...
...
how to make services run and stop on demand,
like
...
ssh
...
...
or inetd. Is possible to make.. say a web page
...
under
...
...
ssl to launch and stop such services? or maybe
a
...
...
majordomo mail with the apropriate password?
the
...
idea
...
...
is to have ONLY apache and sendmail running
all
...
the
...
...
time, nothing more, then, run ftpd or ssh as
...
needed,
...
...
then stop it.
...
...
Thanks
