How many...

How many of these folks posting on here (newbies - trying to get their first Unix-like box online) do you think have taken the time to learn the ins-and-outs of tcp_wrappers, or inetd, or even simple init-scripts? Maybe I'm overreacting here, but since I've spent my time on "the other side of the wall" with security, that really concerns me.

I think new readers should check out this simple wake-up call, and at least learn how to turn off all services - turn them on again when you know what to do with them.

A poster recently touched upon the honeynet project - remote root access within 15 minutes on a default Redhat install (sure, it was 6.2, but 7.x isn't all that different).

How can we get word out about this without sounding like preachers? I would just hate to see someone's great new Unix-experiance muddled with the bitter taste of a cracking attack.

Any ideas?

NAME
svnpath - output svn url with support for tags and branches SYNOPSIS
svnpath svnpath tags svnpath branches svnpath trunk DESCRIPTION
svnpath is intended to be run in a Subversion working copy. In its simplest usage, svnpath with no parameters outputs the svn url for the repository associated with the working copy. If a parameter is given, svnpath attempts to instead output the url that would be used for the tags, branches, or trunk. This will only work if it's run in the top-level directory that is subject to tagging or branching. For example, if you want to tag what's checked into Subversion as version 1.0, you could use a command like this: svn cp $(svnpath) $(svnpath tags)/1.0 That's much easier than using svn info to look up the repository url and manually modifying it to derive the url to use for the tag, and typing in something like this: svn cp svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/trunk svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/tags/1.0 svnpath uses a simple heuristic to convert between the trunk, tags, and branches paths. It replaces the first occurrence of trunk, tags, or branches with the name of what you're looking for. This will work ok for most typical Subversion repository layouts. If you have an atypical layout and it does not work, you can add a ~/.svnpath file. This file is perl code, which can modify the path in $url. For example, the author uses this file: #!/usr/bin/perl # svnpath personal override file # For d-i I sometimes work from a full d-i tree branch. Remove that from # the path to get regular tags or branches directories. $url=~s!d-i/(rc|beta)[0-9]+/!!; $url=~s!d-i/sarge/!!; 1 LICENSE
