Ermmm, I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Having a good anti-virus kit on Linux is usual in many ways. Here are two: - Using Linux as a file server means that you might have plenty of users storing their data on the server. Scanning these against viruses regularly on the server is easier and more resource-effective than making the users do it. - When a Windows user gets infected, you can boot off a Linux distribution and disinfect their environment. - Plenty of people use Wine for various reasons and those executables can be infected/infectious. The ClamAV team are definitely not wasting their time and their efforts should be appreciated. -- Hakan (m1fcj) - <a href="http://www.hititgunesi.org" target="_blank">http://www.hititgunesi.org</a> ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2009 19:56:37 +0200 From: "Amedee Van Gasse (ubuntu)" <<a href="mailto:amedee-ubuntu@amedee.be">amedee-ubuntu@amedee.be</a>> Subject: Re: Newbie still confused about potential for virus problems on Ubuntu To: "Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions" <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:49F4A055.1080009@amedee.be">49F4A055.1080009@amedee.be</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" wirechief schreef: > Please tell that to the makers of rkhunter A root kit is not a virus!!! A root kit is a set of tools that a hacker installs on your system when (s)he has compromised it. But (s)he has to have access to your system first!

It is irrelevant what the operating system is of the gateway. The most vulnerable thing is the mail client. > maybe they could spend it making money on windows systems, do you > think you can convince them ? I don't have to convice anyone. The simple fact that the ClamAV project is still alive, means that they must be doing something good. If I had Linux mailserver + Windows mailclient, then I would use ClamAV. But I have Linux mailserver + Linux mailclient, so I don't need it. It's just as simpel as that. Everything else is FUD. Please stick to the facts and don't troll... -- Amedee -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

To begin you need to install sshd on all the computers. It is not part of the normal Ubuntu so you need to download it. This is done in a terminal by typing $ sudo aptitude install sshd. You need to be using Gnome on the computer that is connecting to the others. This is because you need to have "Places" available for use. Here now is how you connect the other computers. Click on Places and then click again on "Connect to Server". This brings up a panel. The top setup is Service type and you want to change that to SSH. Below that is a setting called Server: and here you put in the IP number of the computer you want connect to like 192.168.1.12 and then skip down to where you can put in a name that you want to connect to. Then put a check in Add bookmark. Just below that put in a name you like that tells you which computer this is. For example laptop-15. Now click on the Connect button. Next a panel comes up asking for a Password. Enter the proper information and click on Connect. Now look at the Desktop and you will see a device called "sftp on 192.168.1.12" and it looks like a folder! It is that other computers files, all of them. Just click on the folder and it comes up in the Desktop - File Browser. You should know how to use this. Now turn off the connection. Do this by a right-hand click of the folder and select Unmount Volume. That drops the connection. Now to regain the connection just click on Places and see now the listing for laptop-15 under Bookmarks on Hardy or just Places on Jaunty.

Even better yet, use key-based authentication and you won't have to enter a password every time you want to open an ssh/scp session to the other machine. Use a key manager to keep the key in memory so that you won't be challenged for your private key's passphrase every time. In KDE, Dolphin, Konqueror, and all KDE dialogs are networking protocol-aware so you can access a remote filesystem as easily as you access a local one by using "smb://" (for Samba) or "fish://" (for SSH). I've noticed in other distros I've used, like Mandriva, that if I had my private key in ~/.ssh, after logging in to KDE but before I would see the desktop, I would get a dialog for entering my passphrase. I can invoke that same dialog in Kubuntu by doing "K Menu>>Run Command..." and typing "ssh-add" but it's not as convenient. I'd like to have that dialog come up before the desktop so that things that are dependent on my private key being unlocked, like Konsole sessions and fish:// session in Konqueror to remote machines, can use that key for auth. I've never managed to get the ssh-add dialog coming up early enough in the KDE init cycle in Kubuntu for it to work properly. -- Regards, Clifford Ilkay Dinamis 1419-3266 Yonge St. Toronto, ON Canada M4N 3P6 <<a href="http://dinamis.com" target="_blank">http://dinamis.com</a>> +1 416-410-3326 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
