Re: Proftpd+SSL/TLS!!!
Hi, Sorry if this has been said. I haven't been following the thread, but why not setup stunnel and run proftpd through that? I've done it here for mail and it works great (even with qmail and daemontools), so I see no reason why you couldn't do the same for FTP Dave At 14:32 1/08/2002 +0200, Jones Down wrote: Hi, > Does anyone knows Proftpd+SSL/TLS was official idea from Proftpd It´s something I absolutely don´t understand: the developers of proftpd are not supporting this, don´t ask me why, it´s a real problem... unfortunately I am no C-Coder, so I would do it myself...*sigh* ... proftpd has really nice features (mysql lookup e.g.), but NO SSL, and theres no ssl on the roadmap. > Anyone got ideas as to the nature/solution of this problem? ;-) Well you could do a apt-get install ftpd-ssl but then you do not have all that nice advanced features of proftpd, afaik no mysql-backend. Also there is one bsd-ftp that can be found here: http://bsdftpd-ssl.sc.ru/ it uses pam for authentication, so somehow also keeping your users in a mysql-db should be possible, but I didn´t get it to work. My alternative is to use ssh, there is a really beatiful win-prog to use scp, looks like mc, can be found here: http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/ but then again you should setup a chroot environment, because it´s still not possible to restrict access to a directory with ssh as tight as with some ftp-servers, because ssh needs some libraries and stuff, so there will be always more then just one upload-dir to see for the users. Also don´t forget, that with ssh you users have a full shell account, so building that jail should be done with real care. In most cases it´s more than you want to give them - what again makes me cry about missing ssl in proftpd :( generally I also really would be happy, if one of the "big boys" could tell us how to do it and which tools to setup, to get a secure ftpd.

Re: Maildirs in Debian
> Jeff, > please share the cons/pros with us The following document provides a good analysis of why Maildir was more appropriate to Courier IMAP's general audience and tasks (the SELECT.1 benchmarks are telling): http://www.courier-mta.org/mbox-vs-maildir/ To me, the differences can be summarised as a compromise between random access, speed and memory. On my server (I use Postfix and Courier IMAP), Maildir provides very fast random access to email, low memory usage, and no locking/access issues. On my desktop machine I use mbox because my usage patterns and requirements lean towards the use of massive, searchable mail folders and little interest in saving memory. Once the mailboxes are open, access is enormously fast. I have no serious locking issues, because it's just me and procmail writing to the mboxes. I don't think either system is ultimately (or religiously) the best, because they're appropriate for different uses.

If a mbox exceeded about 5M in size (somewhere between 2M and 20M depending on how busy the server was at the time) then the pop server couldn't read it all before the client timed out on the "list" command and mail became inaccessable.

As FAQ says ( http://www.stunnel.org/faq/troubleshooting.html#ToC14 ): FTP over Stunnel won't work I just can't get ftp to work over Stunnel no matter how hard I try. Answer: Stunnel cannot be used for the FTP daemon because of the nature of the FTP protocol which utilizes multiple ports for data transfers. There are SSL aware FTP servers available. Alternitively you could use a different protocol. All versions of SSH include a program called scp which works like rcp. Recent versions of OpenSSH include a program called sftp which has an ftp-like feel. -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.

Performance Problems in secure network and Reconstruction required
Hello Debianer, I run a Class C network and I have reserver 16 IP's for a secure network I had in the network following: x.x.x.96 NW x.x.x.97 GW to Router x.x.x.98omega shttp apache x.x.x.99omega-dbpostgreSQL 2x7x36GB (RAID-1) Client-Database Radius x.x.x.100 omega-acc \ x.x.x.101 omega-acc1 \ x.x.x.102 omega-acc2| SSL-Access-Server 33/56/64/128k x.x.x.103 omega-acc3 / x.x.x.104 omega-acc4 / x.x.x.110 omega-backupHB Surestore 12000e x.x.x.111 BC Now, I was working for the french Governement and on the postgreSQL is a Database about Persons and an Video/Picture-Identification System for finding persons... omega is a PPro200 with 64 MByte and works quiet well omegadb is a quad PPro200 with 1024 MByte of memory and give me to much trouble, because the Video/Picture-Identification System need all resources... It give me only 6 MBit on a 3Com 3c905B-TX. Now I have splitted my Servers in smaller parts like: x.x.x.98omega shttp x.x.x.99omega-dbpostgreSQL 2x7x36GB Main-Database x.x.x.100 omega-pic ssl-nfs -> omega Stores about 280 GByte in JPEG's without compression up to 3072x2048/32 x.x.x.101 omega-accdb postgreSQL + Radius Client-Identification from Network and Access-Server x.x.x.102 omega-acc \ x.x.x.103 omega-acc1 \ x.x.x.104 omega-acc2| SSL-Zugangsserver 33/56/64/128k x.x.x.105 omega-acc3 / x.x.x.106 omega-acc4 / x.x.x.107 omega-ident Calculates the Video/Pics for Identification x.x.x.108 free x.x.x.109 free x.x.x.110 omega-backupHB Surestore 12000e Now my omega-db runs betwee 14 and 17 MBits, but thats nothing !!! I will get a 34 Mbit-Backbone next year in Strasbourg an I need more Power. I have created this Network with the postgreSQL-HOWTO and some other Informations on the Net, and it works, but I need some Tips for a reconstruction. Maybe for a better design. But I have not more than 13 IP's availlable. The other thing ist the Autentication on the Customer side, because it is Proxy with ssh-Tunneling and has directly nothing to do with the Customer, because the Customer install the server in its Network and use it like a Proxy, and its me, which choose the authentication. The same is, if the Customer contact my Network via Access-Server. What about LDPA and how does it work ? I do not understand, how to integrate it into my Database. Thanks in Advance Michelle Konzack

One application that seems to trigger this performance defect (which only exists with the ReiserFS implementation in 2.4 series kernels, and not 2.2 kernels) is the "mutt" mailer (see Resources) when it is used to read large maildir-style mailboxes. Apparently, mutt stats each mail file twice, which tends to hurt performance more than normal. The ReiserFS development team is aware of this particular problem and has identified its cause, and you should expect a solution to be included in ReiserFS 4, if not sooner. -- Adam Lazur, Cluster Monkey

Hi Shri, > What is the performance hit for this (if any) ? and how much of a PITA > is it ? Also, do you have any links ? I've never used suexec, are there > any limits on the number of users or such ? I must admit I never did a performance comparison, but from a completely objective point of view it seems plenty fast on my dual p3 1GHz server :) I'm sure theres some performance hit in passing the data inbetween the webserver and PHP using CGI but the interpreter itself shouldn't really be much faster or slower as such, so its shouldn't be too bad. If by user limit if you mean the number of processes running at once, I've certainly not hit any problems to date. As someone pointed out, my individual copies of the PHP binary are unnecessary if you simply hard link to it and make the link belong to the user it should work (I believe) Debian has a php4-cgi (I think it's called) package, but I cant recall in particular what this sets up (if anything). For each virtualhost directive in httpd.conf I have: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /www//cgi-bin/ User Group (same as username typically in debian) AddType application/x-httpd-php4-cgi .phtml .php4 .php .php3 Action application/x-httpd-php4-cgi /cgi-bin/.php And that works quite well. Naming their interpreter .php hides it from most ftp tools and suchlike and will help prevent them deleting it, although you could always remove write access as well as they shouldn't need to write to the interpreter :) You'll need to recompile suexec if your cgi-bins are outside of /var/www in order for it to work, and overwrite apache's copy. You'll also find suexec won't run files which are not chown'd to the right user and may also refuse to run php that isn't chmod 700. I don't know of any HOWTOs for this, I had to ask someone in the know about it and learnt that way. I do intend to write my own set of HOWTOs for things I've done which don't seem to be particularly well documented at some stage but I've simply not had the time so far :/ If you need a hand at any stage, let me know and I'll do my best to answer your questions.

Yes, but having a long wait when opening your folder a couple of times a year because you've been away on vacation is another thing entirely to willingly subjecting yourself once (or several times) a day to having to sit and wait for some mailing list folder to open just because you have every email since you joined the list in there still :) /Phil
