I'm not sure what the default was - I know I changed things - but what do you have in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf as a value for DefaultRoot? If it sais "~" this means you are in the constraint of your home directory and can never go up from that point.

Let's go do some smart stuff now. Anyone remember the firewall rewrite thingy Eek discovered not so long ago? While the concept of this rewrite is actually good, it doesn't work for me because I myself cannot attach the B3 directly to the internet. This means that after the rewrite all references to...

Now at this point you may feel somewhat restricted when working on the B3 console, or even in the web interface. In fact the only thing you can do is Ping and resolve internet addresses, meaning you can no longer synchronize time and also not update the B3 software. So now let's implement the standa...

Let's continue with the rules file and list what the example puts in there rules #ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL RATE$ # PORT PORT(S) DEST LIMI$ # # Accept DNS connections from the firewall to the network # DNS(ACCEPT) $FW net # # Accept SSH connections from the local network for admi...

Are you guys hijacking my topic? vi is rubbish - it's a 2D rewrite of lineedit which is okay for typewriters, but nobody uses typewriters anymore. On with the next file and this is an important one. This is because if you shutdown Shorewall it does not actually disable the firewall but sets everythi...

I know Tor does good things, but i stopped Tor because in the Netherlands this is used for child-pornografie distribution. Rene :shock: Yes, the concept of being able to use random IP's that do not trace back to you directly will be very much appealing to people that do controversial things. Howeve...

First a statement: Shorewall is not a firewall - it's a script that uses your input variables to control iptables. Now we got that sorted out let's start with some safety measurements. Since we're about to do funny stuff with iptables and there's no console on the B3, we will want to be able to reve...

I think if you'd entered proftpd in the searchbox above this forum you would have found the answer for this. The issue is that proftpd verifies the name it should advertise by doing a DNS check. The quick fix for this is to add this name to the hosts file. Now a second problem is that while there wo...

AFAIK, TOR is strictly a Socks5 proxy. The basic setting is for it to listen to localhost connections only though, which actually makes sense because there's not many applications out there that will actually target Socks5 directly.

Regret to say, but your's is the only one that I know...

Well now the thing is that the SMB protocol does not include a way of telling what type of operating system is on the other end. In fact it can't even distinguish between different versions of Windows, with the older non-NT type Windows using codepage character sets during transmission and the curre...

Well now, where to start.... Lets go with 1: The thing is that a specific service can in fact behave differently on each interface. You may even have a service that attaches itself to a port on a specific interface, and a second service that uses the same port on another interface. By targeting the ...

Seconded

If you're worried (or anyone else is) about time having shifted after a reboot, you could consider writing the system time (which is controlled by ntp) to the hardware clock. One place you could do that is hack into the ntp script and add this to the stop routine.

I think there was an issue with Debian changing their repositories not so long ago. First verify that the main repository is actually activated: root@b3:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list # The debian squeeze repository containing unsupported packages that can be used. deb htt p:/ /ftp. se .debian.org/deb...

You could try ASSP - it's a bit heavy for the B3, but once started it works just fine (I use it myself). From the project page : Description The Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy (ASSP) Server project aims to create an open source platform-independent SMTP Proxy server which implements auto-whitelists, Bayesian,...
