    I am trying to see which method would be best for the following. I have an
    ID I use to copy data from one machine to another using SSH. I created
    some passwordless keys for the ID so the synchronization program, unison, could run
    unatended.

    As an additional precaution I wanted to isolate what the ID could see. I
    was unable to understand the chroot man page and the jail page will take
    me some time to read so I am going to print it and read it carefully.

    Does chroot need to be run as root? If so how does one specify what user
    it should be? If I get some good info on chroot I may try to improve the
    man page since it is a bit short and there doesn't seem to be much on this
    topic on the archives.

    All I believe I wil need the ID to be able to see is the directory where
    the data is, and the synchronization program which I can put on the target
    directory itself.

    Both chroot and jail must be run as root. Chroot doesn't hide
    anything only jail does.

    Didn't find much on the archives.
    Any currently working crypto filesystem for FreeBSD?
    I found tcfs, but it seems they don't have the BSD version ready yet.

    So what was chroot used for?

    For jail is it necessary to have an entire environment? I only need a few
    binaries.

    I've been playing with setting up a firewall. This is the setup:
    The firewall PC is running FreeBSD 4.4 with the default 'simple' firewall
    running. There are two ethernet cards in it, one at IP 206.147.211.9 talking
    to the outside network. The other ethernet card is using IP 10.0.0.1 and is
    talking to an internel network of two PCs.
    One PC is running FreeBSD 4.4 and is at IP 10.0.0.2 and the other PC is
    running Win98 and is at IP 10.0.0.3. Both are using 10.0.0.1 as the default
    gateway.
    If both machines are plugged into the network and running everything seems to
    be working fine. However as soon as I shut down the Win98 box or unplug it
    from the network, the FreeBSD machine can't communicate out of the firewall
    anymore. Plug the Win98 box back in and it starts working again.
    Any suggestions? TIA

    I found a syslog of Nov 2, 00:30 saying:

    sshd: Local: Corrupted check bytes on input.

    Possible attack?

    What is the way to go with sshd and FreeBSD?

    That depends on which jail IP address you specified, what firewall rules
    you have on that box. Jail is a synonim for fine-tuning userland's
    environment.

    Make sure you boot via loader(8) and you NOT load kernel directly.
    You may have /boot on a separate partition and the bootstrap code is unable
    to load /boot/loader and will fall back to /kernel.

    Hi All!

    I've just installed ssh2 and trying to implement it's chroot feature.
    I have a problem with user login.

    User "dummy" is in the "chrooted" group. His home directory :
    /home/chrooted/dummy contains bin subdirectory with a mirror of /bin.
    User's shell is /bin/sh. Command: chroot /home/chrooted/dummy works fine.

    From /etc/sshd2_conf:
    -------------------------------------------
    AllowGroups chrooted
    ChRootGroups chrooted
    -------------------------------------------

    Client session:
    -------------------------------------------
    gate# ssh2 -l dummy localhost
    dummylocalhost's password:
    Authentication successful.
    Connection to localhost closed.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    -------------------------------------------

    tail /var/log/messages:
    -------------------------------------------
    sshd[16513]: User dummy's local password accepted.
    sshd[16513]: Password authentication for user dummy accepted.
    sshd[16513]: User dummy, coming from localhost.sbm, authenticated.
    -------------------------------------------

    What I need to do to fix it?

    Thanks,

    On the server, stop any sshd's running, then run an 'sshd -d' and
    watch its output.

    at this point sshd already made chroot for the user
    and tries to run /bin/sh, which does not exist, because
    there is no sh in /home/chrooted/dummy/bin/ (after
    chroot /home/chrooted/dummy/bin/ is not a link to system
    /bin, it is just empty /bin).

    If you want to allow a couple of users at your box, then
    placing sh (which is statically linked) in
    /home/chrooted/dummy/bin/ should do the trick. If there
    must be many users, then consider making bin, usr and
    even var directories under /home/chrooted, and chroot
    all users to /home/chrooted. All binaries in bin, usr must
    be statically linked or you will have to place all necessary
    libraries over there, which is a security risk(?).

    I don't remember exectly why, but instead of chrooting users
    by sshd I use the following would-be-shell to chroot users,
    that shell is set as user's default shell and is called by sshd
    at login time:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    int main (int argc, char *argv []) {

    char *dir, *cmd;

    chroot("/home");
    asprintf(&dir, "/home/home/%s", getenv("LOGNAME"));
    chdir(dir);
    free(dir);

    if (argc > 2)
    {
    asprintf(&cmd, "/usr/local/bin/bash %s %s", argv[1], argv[2]);
    }
    else
    {
    asprintf(&cmd, "/usr/local/bin/bash");
    }
    system(cmd);
    free(cmd);
    }

    Hope this helps,

    Can anyone assist me with the exact configuration for getting SecureCRT (on
    Windows) to work with SSH2 against a FreeBSD server? I got SSH1 to work okay,
    and--mysteriously--SSH2 seems to work against my Web server (4.2 release) on the
    Net, but I can't connect to my own FreeBSD 4.3 server at home; all I get is a
    message saying

    Public-key authentication with the SSH2 server for user root failed. Please
    verify username and public/private key pair.

    Do I have to run anything to make SSH2 work, or is sshd sufficient? I have
    telnetd disabled. I have PermitRootLogin set to without-password. root can log
    in under SSH1, but nobody can log in under SSH2.

    Public-key is what I want, not password. In fact, PermitRootLogin
    without-password supposedly prevents password authentication from being used in
    SSH, forcing PK authentification.

    192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x IP ranges are non-routable (publicly
    accessible), and unless you own the 172.16-19.x.x range, neither is it.
    In these cases you do need to use NAT.

    However, most uses for Jail are for binding a prison to a publicly
    accessible IP address, which means no NAT is necessary.

    If you only have one publicly available IP address and you do not intend
    them to accept incoming connections, perhaps you should consider binding
    your prisons to that IP address instead of the private non-routable IPs
    instead. You can run Jail multiple times with the same IP address,
    including the primary IP of your machine.

    This assumes, of course, that the machine these prisons exist on has a
    publicly available IP. If it exists entirely on a private network, you
    should turn on NAT on your router/firewall.

    That fixed it! The sshgen step was missing; I had a vague recollection of doing
    something like that before, but I was unable to remember what it was. Your note

        Yes, but you don't want to block all ICMP packets or you will
        break TCP connections through paths which have smaller MTUs,
        because the TCP stack will never get code 3's.

        I recommend the following. If you have a recent system also
        see 'man firewall'.

        add 120 allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 0,8,11,12,13,14

    This is not a security-related question: please don't abuse the

    This is really not on-topic for this list, but to answer it anyways,
    tcpserver is like inetd in that it passes along network connections to
    particular processes (in this case, qmail-smtpd) and is what listens on
    port 25 for SMTP traffic, so it is a necessary part of using qmail as your
    MTA. If all you need to do is be able to send mail, you don't even really
    need an MTA, as most modern mail clients (all the GUI ones I know of,
    pine, mutt, etc) can SMTP connect to a remote mail server.

    I have the following for my SecureCRT settings. I am using a password,
    not a public key, but I was having problems implementing ssh2 at first.
    My settings for the connection are as follows:

    Protocol: ssh2
    Port: 22
    Cipher: 3DES
    MAC: MD5
    Authentication: Password
    SSH Server: Standard

    When you create a new connection in SecureCRT (atleast for 3.01), ssh2
    defaults to the SSH Server type of "DataFellows 2.0.13", which does not

    smtproutes seems to create a relay. Also, he highly suggests using
    tcpserver for all qmail activity, relay or not. It really is not all that
    hard to use, just use tcpserver.

    Hi!

    I run local cvsup-mirror of FreeBSD CVS Repository. It runs just fine.
    I would like to provide read-only anoncvs access to the Repo and wonder
    how to make it secure. E.g. I do not want users to:

    - make brute-force attacks to /etc/master.passwd
    - touch the Repo in any way, no commits, no tags, no
      val-tags nor history nor any other file modifications.

    Is it possible?

    See 'anoncvssh', from the OpenBSD project:

    http://openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca/papers/anoncvs-paper.ps

    Then grab the distribution:

    http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.shar

    Then follow the instructions in the README. Since this isn't
    a real CVS tree that you're granting access to (i.e. not one
    that you're making commits to yourself), the setup is really
    quite straightforward. Works well, is a CPU and disk bandwidth/seek
    hog, but it's super convenient for local access.
    (These are features of using CVS instead of CVSup, NOT features
    of anoncvssh. anoncvssh just gives you a more secure way of
    doing the ssh).

    If you're super paranoid, you can mount large parts of the
    CVS repository read-only.

    It seems anoncvssh need OpenBSD's cvs distribution and
    modifications of some files inside the Repo that is what
    I would rather avoid to do. Is it safe to hack CVSROOT/*?

    And if I'll want to provide public access once, will I be allowed
    to limit using of compression?

    You are probably being attacked. See

    this vulnerability.

    The output of sshd2 -d1:

            gate# ssh2 -l dummy gate
            dummygate's password: <password>
            Authentication successful.
            sshd2[1296]: /etc/spwd.db: No such file or directory
            debug: ssh_user_become: getpwnam: Bad file descriptor
            debug: Switching to user 'dummy' failed!
            Connection to gate closed.

    Does it mean i must provide /etc/spwd.db file in the user home directory?
    In this case, how can I create this file for single user usage?

    Thanks, Alexander S. Volchenkov (mailto:volaxuh.ru)

    Although it doesn't have exactly the pattern. No host that disconnected.

    I logged into the machine at that time from home via ISDN at that time.
    Well, time anyway to switch to openssh.
