Is there a way to configure logins so they are rejected after a certain number of failures? I can see from my logs that somebody has been trying to get into my system.

I am not a security expert on systems, but I have learned some since my system has been attacked. Hackers usually attack a system from other systems. When they have been discovered attacking from a system, they'll switch to a new one. Therefore, the IP addresses from which they attack are never the same. However, they can be spotted. Usually, the logs will show a specific IP address either trying to log into a single account repeatedly (meaning they are trying various passwords) or trying various accounts (meaning the hacker is trying to find an existing account on the machine). I was hoping (am hoping) that there is some software who can track this. When a login fails, the software should be able to determine if that IP is a legitimate user who just typed the wrong password or somebody conducting a systematic attack of the system.

I did upgrade to Version 6 and now I am unable to use any port but the default which is port 80. If I change it to any port but 80 service will not start.

What others have said is true; today's equivalent to the free Red Hat Linux product is Fedora. There is a page at www.redhat.com explaining the differences: http://www.redhat.com/software/rhelorfedora/ As Katsumi mentioned, you'll find Fedora Core 6 quite an improvement. :) Here are a couple of Red Hat Magazine articles about this latest release: http://www.redhat.com/magazine/024oct06/features/fc6/ http://www.redhat.com/magazine/024oct06/features/fc62/ ~m From rajan.mithani at gmail.com Mon Dec 11 05:19:18 2006 From: rajan.mithani at gmail.com (Rajan Mithani) Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 10:49:18 +0530 Subject: [rhn-users] important !!! for red hat users...

I had a similar problem, as the installer doesn't like running as root. I got around it by assigning a password to the oracle user and granting oracle the right to ssh into the machine (temporarily), I then did: ssh -X oracle at host Ran the installer (did the same for all add-ons as well) then as root: passwd -l oracle to lock the oracle user out (just a security measure). Note: X11Forwarding yes, must be there in your sshd_config if you intend to use ssh. Also have you tried: xhost +oracle at locahost or oracle at hostname?

I am trying to install Oracle. It is a lot more difficult installing on Linux as it is on UNIX. Linux closes everything by default and you have to find the spots where you need to open things up. All that I want to do is log into my Linux server as the oracle user, run the install script and install Oracle. As part of this, however, it wants to open an Xwindow. I am logging in from the console, am running RedHat 4, and am in runlevel 5.

If you want to install Oracle application please login as a normal user (regular user it could be oracle ) once you logged IN open a terminal and issue "xhost + " alone. Then start firing the Oracle installer from the appropriate path. This should work for you. Thanks Jason.

To at least install Oracle, I logged in as root and did "xhost +". Then I logged in as oracle to install. I was hoping that I could find a way to configure it so that just oracle could open a window and leave it that way, but so far I haven't found a solution. I just had to open it up for everyone.

Select Enchanced for the SATA Mode, enable the SATA RAID mode (despite not using RAID at all) and select Adaptec as ICH RAID Code Base. RHEL will load the 'ahci' driver and you'll see your drives as sda, sdb and so on.
