Trustix Secure Linux Bigfix Advisory #2005-0008
Package name: apache etcskel gdbm rootfiles samba squid sudo
Summary: Package improvements
Date: 2005-03-04
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
apache:
Apache is a full featured web server that is freely available, and also
happens to be the most widely used.
etcskel:
The etcskel package is part of the basic Trustix system. Etcskel
provides the /etc/skel directory's files. These files (.bash_logout,
.bash_profile, .bashrc) are then placed in every new user's home
directory when new accounts are created.
gdbm:
Gdbm is a GNU database indexing library, including routines
which use extensible hashing. Gdbm works in a similar way to standard UNIX
dbm routines. Gdbm is useful for developers who write C applications and
need access to a simple and efficient database or who are building C
applications which will use such a database.
rootfiles:
The rootfiles package contains basic required files that are placed
in the root user's account. These files are basically the same
as the files found in the etcskel package, which are placed in regular
users' home directories.
samba:
Samba provides an SMB server which can be used to provide network
services to SMB (sometimes called "Lan Manager") clients, including
various versions of MS Windows, OS/2, and other Linux machines. Samba
uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need NetBEUI
(Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol.
squid:
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional
caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,
non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially
hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking
DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.
sudo:
Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain
users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands
as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a
per-command basis. It is not a replacement for the shell. Features
include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a
per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear
audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo
command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers)
on many different machines.
