devil-linux-develop Mailing List for Devil-Linux (Page 289)

Hi, I am a newbie to Devil Linux but I subscribed to this list because I want
to get our own build going so that we can add our own appilance type servers.

These servers will start with stuff in the GPL but we may very likely add
commercial servers such as Oracle or Sybase.. maybe even Veritas.

I will spare you questions on CVS, but once I get that figured out I will need
to know how to get the build scripts running.

Thanks, John

LINUXSECURITY.COM: NETWORK SECURITY WITH /PROC/SYS/NET/IPV4

"In additional to firewall rulesets, the /proc filesystem
offers some significant enhancements to your network security
settings. Unfortunately, most of us are unaware of anything
beyond the vague rumors and advice we've heard about this
beast. In this article, we'll review some of the basic essentials
of the /proc/sys/net/ipv4 filesystem necessary to add to the
overall network security of your Linux server."

Hi,

this is the stuff I planned for a future release:

LINUXGAZETTE: IMPLEMENTING A BRIDGING FIREWALL

"...a router connects two networks together and translates
between them; a bridge is like a patch cable, connecting two
portions of one network together. A bridging firewall acts as a
bridge but also filters the packets it passes, while remaining
unseen by either side."

Summary: scripts and restart problem

Initial Comment:
Most scripts are not working correctly when called
with the "restart" option, because they have the same
name as the daemon and therefore kill themself.

Examples for this behaviour:
* /etc/init.d/dhcpd
* /etc/init.d/syslog-ng
* /etc/init.d/jftpgw
