I have a folder called: pictures
which has folders and files within it that has permissions...
What is the best way to tar this up so when i extra it, I can keep all my permissions for my folders and files:
This is what I'm using:
tar -cvpf pictures.tar.gz *
I have been having issues with spam on my mail server. I tested the server at abuse.net and test 6 fails with the following result:
Relay test 6
>>> RSET
<<< 250 Reset OK
>>> MAIL FROM:<spamtest@mydomain.com>
<<< 250 OK
>>> RCPT TO:<admin%abuse.net@mydomain.com>
<<< 250 Accepted
>>> DATA
<<< 354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself
>>> (message body)
<<< 250 OK id=1MGLZF-0002Jz-IZ
I have been trying for hours to close this hole with no success. I am running the server using cPanel / WHM which supposedly closes open relay by default, I have tried tweaking the settings,
So we have a single Layered Tech box hitting our server with around 90 MBit/s for almost 12 hours straight now, resulting in over 400 GB excess traffic so far. An abuse report was sent about 4 hours ago (Ticket-ID: XZP-97559-339) with evidence included, but so far there was 0 reaction besides the auto-reply.
A phone call to the number listed on their website resulted only in a message that there is no one available at extension XYZ. I didn't try repeat calls since playing international phone tag is not quite my idea of fun.
I realise that it was/still is early in the morning at their location, but nonetheless, I'd expect a company their size to respond a lot faster to reports such as this.
Seems like I'm having considerable problems with APF's antidos feature. I keep getting legit users banned from my site, and don't know how to stop it (other than disabling antidos altogether, but I guess there should be another way).
I've already set:
TRIG="100"
SF_TRIG="100"
...in the antidos configuration file but I'm still seeing more and more legit IPs getting added to ad.rules. I've read that raising or lowering LN="100" is the other tweak I should try, but there simply is no such value defined in my conf.antidos file.
Another thing I noticed that, although I only got two notification mails telling me about "attackers" blocked by antidos, there are roughly 40 entries in ad.rules. As a matter of fact, I don't understand what antidos is doing there in the first place. Seems like iptables doesn't log to var/log/messages anyway, at least not on my machine - so where is antidos getting those ips from?
