Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Check processes running on remote server Post 303041692 by rbatte1 on Monday 2nd of December 2019 07:58:54 AM

So how would you normally connect to the super-secure server? Console only perhaps?

It may well be just best to have a scheduled job on the server that posts the information somewhere. This could be by syslog (as mentioned before) or perhaps it could use ssh/scp to connect out and send them somewhere sensible. You could probably also get the server to HTTP-post a file to a webserver that has a cgi-script and just writes the file somewhere.

One wonders just how sensitive the server must be to not trust the administrator to sign on. You could open SSH incoming but limit access by coding up /etc/security/access.conf (or a file under /etc/security/access.conf.d) to restrict to an approved group. If you are paranoid, you could deny user/password access and force SSH keys to be used and make sure that the private keys matching the approved public keys are not shared.


There will be lots of ways to control SSH access, but we would need to understand the worries that the Security team have about the admin team and how far they would permit you to go.

Would a service account that has one function (to collect this information) be acceptable to them?




I hope that this helps with some options,
Robin

rpc_allow_remote_shutdown(3ncs) 										   rpc_allow_remote_shutdown(3ncs)

Name
       rpc_allow_remote_shutdown - allow or disallow remote shutdown of a server (server only)

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/rpc.h>

       void rpc_$allow_remote_shutdown(allow, checkproc, status)
       unsigned long allow;
       rpc_$shut_check_fn_t checkproc;
       status_$t *status;

Arguments
       allow		   A value indicating `false' if zero, `true' otherwise.

       checkproc	   A pointer to a Boolean function.

       status		   The completion status.  If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it
			   was successful.

Description
       The routine allows or disallows remote callers to shut down a server using

       By default, servers do not allow remote shutdown via If a server calls with allow true (not zero) and checkproc nil, then  remote  shutdown
       will be allowed.  If allow is true and checkproc is not nil, then when a remote shutdown request arrives, the function denoted by checkproc
       is called and the shutdown is allowed if the function returns true.  If allow is false (zero), remote shutdown is disallowed.

Diagnostics
       This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in

       rpc_$not_in_call    An internal error.

       rpc_$you_crashed    This error can occur if a server has crashed and restarted.	A client RPC runtime library sends the error to the server
			   if  the  client  makes  a  remote  procedure  call before the server crashes, then receives a response after the server
			   restarts.

       rpc_$proto_error    An internal protocol error.
