I have been advised by a sysadmin, to run Apache in a chroot jail, in order to prevent that an attacker could take control of server.
So my question is:
What is the best method to chroot Apache/2.2.3 in RHEL/CentOS 5?, i only use the default modules that comes with Apache like mod_php and also mod_security.
I heard of mod_security SecChrootDir but i don't know if it would be suitable for my config, it says that it's recommended only for static file serving in the documentation.
Thank you!
I'm forwarding the WiFi router's log messages to our sysadmin box (sb3). This is the stanza in /etc/rsyslog.conf:
# WiFi router log
:fromhost-ip, isequal,'10.3.291.2' /var/log/wifi-router.log
& ~
However, the log looks like this:
Dec 23 10:41:58 sb3 dnsmasq-dhcp[253]: DHCPACK(br0) 10.3.292.133 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx dg-ipad
I want to customize so that anything logged to wifi-router.log does not mention sb3 but indicates the sender of the log message. How would I do this?
I have managed (in 'eksperiments') to remove both my Windows users from my SQL Express instance. I am now logged in as windows admin, and have re-created the corresponding SQL login, but I cannot assign sysadmin rights. I get the error:
User does not have permission to perform this action. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15247)
If admin can't do this, should I start looking for a small animal to sacrifice?
Generally speaking, aren't there a lot of problems that can be fixed with just a simple power cycle? Especially with Windows, a reboot will solve the problems (at least temporarily)?
So, would this be the difference between serverfault and superuser? Generally, where as a superuser might just be annoyed by a restart/power cycle, a sysadmin cannot because its a critical system or otherwise production box?
In Sql Server 2008,
Our database uses an extended properties. We noticed that a user that does not have the sysadmin role cannot read any extended properties.
What access should be granted to allow a user that has the public role to read the extended properties?
I have 3 Varnish 3.0.2 servers with Apache 2 as backends, which are being load balanced through a HAproxy separate server.
I need to find a very simple program (I'm not much of a sysadmin), which blocks requests from an IP, if that IP has made more than X requests in Y seconds.
Would something like this be achievable with a simple solution? Right now I have to block all requests manually with iptables.
It's been a long time since I've had to register a new domain.
What registrar is considered geek and sysadmin friendly?
I've heard that godaddy will screw you 10 ways to Sunday, and a lot of the other ones basically only lease you the domain. So if I want to own the domain and not get screwed, who's the best these days, and why?
