Message-ID: <6f62da070908090905j564357b6ibd133d682f1480c8@mail.gmail.com>

so i set up this (ubuntu server 9.04) samba server here at home and
everything is working well, but i was wondering if anyone had any pointers
on how to make sure it is "secure".
what do some of you do for home servers and security?

A few pointers:
Do you know what IP (range) you will be connecting from? You can limit
outside access to your machine to a specific IP which limits attackers
options a lot.

Out of the box, Ubuntu does not have iptables enabled. You should change the
sshd config to not allow root logins and possibly lock down SSH to only
listening to specific IP addresses.

Keep it behind a router, and only forward the ports associated with the services you want to access. 

Also keep an eye on security vulnerabilities and patches for the services you have exposed.

The 'shields up' section of Steve Gibson's web site (grc.com, I think) will
do a port scan.

You could hit it with Nessus running from a Knoppix-STD disc

Hmmm...I haven't worked with Ubuntu in a while, but I believe it is a distro that supports AppArmor.  You may want to consider setting up an AppArmor profile for Samba.

Hello Everyone!

Just a reminder - we'll be meeting tonight at the Crimson Caf? on The Strip
downtown. The time will be the usual 6:00 PM. I'd like to see a lot of folks
come out, and I know we have gained a couple of members as of the last
meeting, so it'll be a good chance to meet anyone you haven't run into yet.

Yeah - and we don't have presentations (yet) until we find another venue. I
know everyone would like to start teaching/learning things at out meet ups
but we're stuck with just talking to each other until we get into a better
venue. BYOB-type establishment would be great ;)

Hope everyone has a great day and hope to see you at the Crimson Caf?!



Addendum:
Atlanta Linux Fest is nigh so we should discuss the carpool strategy if
that's still the idea.

If no one is able to make it this month, let's just hold off until next
month. Atlanta Linux Fest will be after our September meeting so we'll have
time to talk about that in person and on the mailing list.

That sounds like a good plan - I just found out that I won't
be able to make it anyway, unless I plan to bring a two year
old with me.  That ain't happenin'  :-)

I have an LCD monitor which may or may not work in the conceptual sense.
That is to say, the signal cable to the poor thing was cut, possibly by the
chewing of an animal.   It has a foot or so of the VGA cable coming out of
the back.  It's a compaq 15" display.  It seems to be one of those stupid
@#$&@ units where the signal cable is permanently attached to the insides of
the monitor.

Can anyone think of anything interesting to do with this?  I suspect the
monitor works, but the notion of spending a couple of hours splicing in a
VGA cable is horrifying and likely pointless - any ideas other than trashing
it?

I have run into a few individuals with the start of the semester interested
in participating in the LUG. Our current fliers still list the Crimson Caf?
as our meeting place, so could the creator of the flier update it to show
the Crimson Caf? as the new meeting spot? (Eric I think?)


Thanks!

The picture frame wouldn't work as described since VGA monitors don't, 
by default, accept composite video.  There isn't a lot that can be done 
without hacking in a cable, but I wouldn't bother with splicing it -- 
I'd simply open it up and wire in a whole new cable.  Better still, open 
it up, wire in a female DB15 (or male, you know, if that's the way you 
wanna roll...  I know *I've* got a load of M/F VGA cables just sitting 
around being useless...)

Of course, once I went to the trouble of getting it PC-worthy again and 
tested it out, I'd rip out the backplane and lamps, drop an IR-sensitive 
webcam behind it, and make a tiny little multitouch screen.  If you 
wanted to get really fancy, you could make an infrared light pen and 
make a Cintiq-like device, though it would be a little difficult to 
reliably do pressure sensitivity that way.  (One possible solution could 
be to dim the LED based on pressure, but the resolution of such a 
solution would be incredibly low [compared to the 256 levels of 
resolution of a normal tablet pen] and, depending on the webcam used, 
could give wildly inaccurate results...)

Now if you want a picture frame or vehicle hack, go down to Dirt Cheap.  
They're always getting in portable DVD players and LCD picture frames.  
The picture frame screens may not be the best for hacking, but the DVD 
screens should work great!  I've got one that I've separated from the 
DVD control board that I'm trying to hack a composite input into so I 
can have a little 7" screen for those times when I need to check 
something on the main entertainment center without turning on the 
projector...

Excellent. Thank you!

I'm going to print out some for my CS325 class. It's the third class in a
series of programming classes centered on C++ design, with some Java.
Anyway, we all got a 4GB USB stick with Xubuntu on it. That's our
development environment.

He has been teaching the class the basics of the Unix command line, along
with make and subversion. All our development will be in the Linux
environment, and as such, there will be a lot of interest generated about
Linux in general. I've already been approached by a few interested persons
asking me what distro I use :)
