Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

For patching I used Tanium before on cross platforms environment. Multiple OSs: MS, unix, mac. Unfortunately Tanium only serves for a very large customers. What would be an alternatives to Tanium?
I heard Kace from Quest is great and easy to deploy with VM or an Appliance?
HQ in US. About 4-5 international offices.
About 400 hosts on Win, Mac, ubuntu.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone on here have any experience auditing Mac OSX and MacOS laptops specifically for PCI Compliance? If so, how did you end up logging from them to a centralized server and what did you use? I am attempting to use OSSEC to pull the logs from /var/audit/current but would /var/etc/com.apple.authd be better? Or /var/log/system.log?) The purpose of this is to satisfy PCI DSS req. 10.2.2, 10.1.5. If I use OSSEC will I need to create a custom decoder for OSSEC for using the praudit command on /var/audit/current?

FreeBSD/APACHE/Let's Encrypt

Interestingly enough I have no problem using let's encrypt on Windows platform and figured it was going to be a breeze on *nix... Running into a slew of issues. For one I am trying to use certbot to facilitate this. When I issue the correct commands and webroot I see it builds the .well-known folder but it does not build the acme-challenge folder. If I try to manually create the acme-challenge folder it deletes it after the sudo certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/example -d example.com -d www.example.com command (with my domain info substituted of course) with the following error:

Detail: Invalid response from
http://<mysite>/.well-known/acme-challenge/bM6ijKNrbr6Dcf3nzJdyhssFHrySeeLk-2VWQgAlWnQ:
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<h1>Forbidden</h1>

Super frustrated as everything in *nix is always easier, right? Well not this time LOL. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to create a Symlink-like file but with the difference that the file it points to gets executed when the link is read and the output is what I get from reading it.
It should work on freebsd/linux.

Thanks

Best regards

I about 10 yrs back, there are CIS tools that we could download for free
that will flag out the date of the last OS patches.

Q1:
Are these tools still available for free download & what's the URL?

Q2:
Without these tools, how can we check in an OS (Windows 2008 R2, Win 2012,
Solaris 10 & 11, AIX 6.1 & 7.1) , the date of the latest patches applied in the
system?

I have installed 2 different IDM Ultrium-TD3 tape drives and in the 2nd case, I have ALSO installed the lin_tape and lin_taped (daemon). I also have sg3_utils 1.42, built from source - all this are on x86_64 bit computers.

Many of the commands work, including sg_read_buffer for reading the cartridge memory.

The problem is, commands such as sg_read_attr/sg_write_attr (ioctl 0x8D, 0x8C) whether from a normal C program or from the sg approach, do not ever allow reading or writing the attributes - instead, it leads to an error, such as:

SG_WRITE_ATT_0803 command error: Host_status=0x05 [DID_ABORT]
Error : Write failed (try verbose opt)

I can try either generic /dev devices or /dev/IBM types of devices. Each gives an error. In one case, I have an idea for how to try to fix it, but I'm just wondering, is the firmware (mine is 6B20) just not implementing it? I doubt that's the problem. I can upload the firmware as hex code but I would like to see the source.

Also, I don't know whether or not running lintape/lintaped matters and whether or not the IBM-generic/IBM-specific/sg-generic drivers are the issue. I'm trying to pin down what approach to go on next. There are literally three sets of drivers. And I don't know whether or not I should install Tivoli.

Given all the variables, I just want to know how to proceed to get to a working sg_read_attr/sg_write_attr command. I even tried to start with the lowest numbered attribute.

I have also tried external …

Hi gurus,

I have AIX (7100-04-04-1717) lpar with installed following packets:
bos.cifs_fs.rte 7.1.4.31 C F Runtime for SMBFS
bos.cifs_fs.smit 7.1.0.0 C F SMIT Interface for SMBFS

This lpar was successfully mounting share on W2k8 R2 until recently change on windows server. Change on windows side was disabling smbv1 protocol. Since then, there is no way to mount this share again. I have asked my colleagues to turn smbv1 back on, until I figure out how to solve this. When they turn smbv1 protocol on, I can mount the share again. IBM does not provide any support for cifs, and I can't find any official document claiming that this client can't be used for higher smb protocols than smbv1.

I even installed samba 4.1 on AIX, and with smbclient tool I can connect to windows share forcing higher protocol versions ( -m SMB3), but this is not a solution, because I must have permanent file system mounted on aix. So this is not a valid solution.
Does anyone have a idea on how to solve this, or any link to official documentation which I can use to prove that this is not supported?
Or if I am trying something in wrong way , please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Igor

I recently upgraded AIX from 6.1 to 7.1, which resulted in perl getting upgraded from 5.8 to 5.10 as well and in process i no longer have a dbi.pm module under perl 5.10.

I have been unable to find binary version for dbi.pm for perl 5.10 so i am trying to compile it but running into an issue with it.
I am using steps of running perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install to compile.
I am able to successfully run perl Makefile.PL from the dbi.pm directory that i saved in /tmp from cpan.org, but when i run the "make" command, i get following error.

Hello,

I have installed a module on the puppet master server, how do I make client to pickup those modules and execute?

I have a file with a character that translates into 272 when I do:
od -xc

The character looks like an A with a caret on top with a degree sign to the right. I am attaching an image of the character as well. I have tried sed, perl and tr and none of them are working.

For example:
sed -e 's/'$(echo "272")'/ /g' input_file > output_file

This does not work.

Any suggestions?

I am creating a shell script to check if cron jobs are enabled/disabled and send a mail notification for the same (with job name).

#!/bin/sh

crontab -l > /app/file.txt
App_Home=/app
ctab='$APP_Home/file.txt'

while IFS= read -r value; do
entry=`$value | awk '{print $1}'`
echo $entry
if [[ $entry == "#" ]]
then
  echo " Entry $value is disabled "
elif [[ $entry == '#*' ]]
then
   echo " Entry $value is disabled "
else
   echo " Entry $value is enabled "
fi
done < $ctab

Open in new window

However, the above code is failing with the error message (#*: command not found).
