Box at bottom |
The two iptables rules in this box seem to be as from Stephens' website, here:
http://www.kalamazoolinux.org/presentations/20010417/conntrack.html
and or here:
http://www.sns.ias.edu/~jns/wp/2006/01/12/iptables-connection-tracking-ftp/
The rules presented there are for a CLIENT accessing ftp. For an ftp server, INPUT and OUTPUT in the two rules should be reversed as stated in the notes at the bottom of the page, second link.

axfr-get Makefile example |
In the Makefile example on this page, there is a reference to the command
'/usr/local/bin/tcpclient -i a.ns.hackenbush.com 53 /usr/local/bin/axfr-get
flywheel.com flywheel.data flywheel.tmp'
However, the '-i' flag expects an argument (it specifies the local IP address to use
- http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpclient.html), and the make fails. It will work if the
flag is omitted.

7th line from the bottom |
bash-# useradd -d /var/logjail -g syslogng -r syslogng
and in the next line is stated that the -r flag tells useradd to set the account
automatically to /bin/false, etc...
The problem is that useradd doesn't have an "-r" flag. Was it mistaken with "-s
/bin/false"?

From: http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/reference/x97.html
--------------------------------------------
In earlier revisions of syslog-ng there was a special filter identifier, "DEFAULT",
which matched all not-yet-matched messages. This could make your configuration much
simpler and easier to manage. This feature was removed in syslog-ng 1.5.x, and a more
powerful idea was introduced. For more details consult the Section called Log paths.
