Just so you are aware, by giving users the ability to mount file systems,
|
|
you ARE giving anyone with a reasonable knowledge of UNIX root
|
|
permissions to your machine. All they need is roto permissions on another
|
|
Linux machine (all to easy, since Linux is preading fast). They create a
|
|
shell with setuid to root, owned by root, then mount it on your system
|
|
and run the shell.
|
|
|
|
This is why mount permissions are usually reserved for root alone on UNIX
|
|
systems. We are talking a MAJOR security hole otherwise. (Remember that
|
|
UNXI was designed for mini-computers, where new volumes were almost never
|
|
mounted except for software installation or tape back-ups.)A

Well, I don't know a lot about this, but aren't there ways to get syslogd to
|
|
do this kind of thing?
|
|
|
|
Or, if you're looking for something simpler, the command "last -3 user" will
|
|
give you the last 3 logins of user, telling you where they logged in from and
|
|
for how long... It uses a file called "wtmp" and if someone knows of a way to
|
|
grep through it (it's in some weird format), you could extract the info you
|
|
need... Careful, though... I think that this file is wiped and retouched on
|
|
boot up (you'd have to update your accounting after booting everyone off but
|
|
before the system restarts in your "shutdown" routine)
|
|
|
|
Hope this gets the discussion going...

Yes.. a problem with ftp, but probably not with rlogin/telnet (at least on a

Subject: Need DL/Time Limiting ideas - Linux BBS
|
|
Date: 11 Sep 1994 12:27:14 -0600
|
|
|
|
I'm currently in the process of setting up a BBS under Linux. All of the
|
|
BBS software I've seen for Linux already is cryptic, difficult to use for
|
|
callers used to MS-DOS boards, and not very configurable. For this
|
|
reason I've decided to write a BBS using a conglomeration of shell
|
|
scripts and the menu system program used at Nyx (A public access UNIX
|
|
site at nyx.cs.du.edu). This is getting to be very tedious. I'm using
|
|
programs already written to accomplish message bases and E-mail, however
|
|
I have to FTP the source (over my provider's 2400bps dial-up :( ) and
|
|
modify it to eliminate shell escapes and other security hazards. This is
|
|
also very time consuming. I'm willing to stick with this however because
|
|
of the configurability. However, my biggest problem is finding a way to
|
|
limit login times and establish an upload/download ratio system. If you
|
|
have ideas on how I could accomplish this with shell scripts or simple C
|
|
programs let me know.
|
|
|
|
I'm concerned with the security of using shell scripts like this. It
|
|
seems secure so far, but you never know. That's why I'd also be
|
|
interested in hearing about pre-written BBS software for Linux that will
|
|
offer what I'm looking for. The system I am planning will be largely
|
|
information based (offering topics of all kinds, kind of like Internet).
|
|
I'll use the gopher system (which is already set-up and merely needs to
|
|
be called from the BBS) as a means to access this information. I need
|
|
the BBS software that will provide message and file areas as well as
|
|
E-mail. It would also be nice to have FIDO (internal or external,
|
|
doesn't matter) support and Usenet support. The system should be easy to
|
|
use because a majority of my users will be used to MS-DOS type boards
|
|
like Renegade and Tag. Since my service provider only has a 2400bps
|
|
dial-up I don't want to download all the Linux packages. Recommendations
|
|
will be most welcome.
|
|
|
|
Also, if I can figure out how and get somebody to provide an inexpensive
|
|
link, I'd like to allow Internet E-mail and news on the system. Who
|
|
should I contact about this? I've heard of UUCP. Is there an integrated
|
|
network of epople that do this already that can provide some pointers?
|
|
Can it be done cheap? This will probably be a non-profit system. Is
|
|
there another BBS in the Detroit area that I can poll if I decide to take
|
|
that route.
|
|
|
|
I have a lot of questions and if you've read up to the end of this
|
|
message I appreciate it already. Anybody with replies or pointers for
|
|
any of the problems I've had so far, please E-mail me. (I normally do
|
|
not read alt.bbs and alt.bbs.unixbbs, however I do read comp.os.linux.admin.)
|
|
|
|
Thanks.

The appropriate options make it quite safe; here's an entry from my system's
|
|
/etc/fstab:
|
|
|
|
/dev/fd0 /dos-a msdos user,noauto
|
|
|
|
This means that any user can type 'mount /dos-a' and get the floppy all
|
|
for herself, without nasty suid root problems.
|
|
|
|
See 'man 8 mount'.

Well, it looks like a 'fixed' version of the linxdoom.tgz file has appeared

|

there is support for limiting login times and for logging out users
|
|
in the shadow passwd package. There is no support for limiting the

time a user is logged in though.

This is a very good explanation of the procedure for large IDE drives.
|
|
The only thing I would add, is what to do if it's your second physical
|
|
drive that's the big one. That's the situation I had and it drove me
|
|
half nuts because no one ever gave an example the the hd= incantation
|
|
for the second drive. It turns out to be really simple. I my case, my
|
|
firs drive is 424 megs and under the 1023 limit while my second drive
|
|
is 730 megs and over the 1023 cylider limit. When you get to the boot
|
|
prompt in a situation like this, you include a hd= statement for BOTH
|
|
drives even though the first one (in my case) was no problem. So, in
|
|
my example it looked like this boot: ramdisk hd=989,15,56 hd=1416,16,63.
|
|
To get lilo to work, you'll have to put these two lines at the top of
|
|
your lilo.conf file: append="hd=989,15,56 hd=1416,16,63" and on the next
|
|
line: linear. Those numbers are for my drives, you'll have to substitute
|
|
the numbers for your drives. And you do need the quotes like in my example.
|
|
I've had lilo booting contentedly off of my large hard drive for quite some
|
|
time. Now if I could only figure out how to install lilo on a floppy. Why
|
|
doesn't this work? lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf -v -r /flop (where /flop is the
|
|
place I have /dev/fd0 mounted.

I've had the same problem. When people log-in to my machine, the
|
|
login name is their nodename with a type-of-service character
|
|
prepended, so that foobar UUCP access would be Ufoobar, SLIP would
|
|
be Sfoobar, etc. Unfortunately, I had problems when node names
|
|
were 8 characters or longer, so I had to issue shorter, fake ones.
