[Sshguard-maintainers] sshguard 1.0

[Mij <mi...@bi...>]

hello folks,

sshguard 1.0 stable has been finally released, see

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=701923

There is a couple of relevant news for maintainers wrt 0.91:
1) paths can now be set during ./configure
For example, iptables path, or the path of /etc/hosts.allow file.
These are autodetected via $PATH if they're not specified manually.
If the package compiles on the user host, mind that some systems
exclude sbin from users PATH, so specifing the path manually is safer.

2) there is now a man page to install (man/sshguard.8)
It is installed automatically during make install

3) there is an example file for whitelisting in exmples/ 
whitelistfile.example.
Depending on the policy of the system, decide whether (and where)
to copy this example file into the system.

4) a thorough setup guide covering all the setup combos is available at
	http://sshguard.sourceforge.net/doc/setup/setup.html
Unless your package makes the software "up and running" (which is
preferred, when possible), I recommend to show it off as feedback after
a successful installation.

I remind to use the syslog+sshguard or syslog-ng+sshguard whenever
possible; avoid the tail+sshguard combo which is just a working hack.



Last but not least, there is a new "policy" for maintainerships:
- I have freed slots on http://sshguard.sourceforge.net/doc/ 
sshguardpackages.html
for sshguard 1.0
- if you intend to build a package for an OS, please send a message  
to the
sshguard-maintainers ml containing:
	- the target OS or OSes
	- the URL of the package, or the package content itself if you want  
mirroring
	- possibly a brief TXT or HTML file with notes for users to install  
the package if it's not
	trivial on default setups (for example on unofficial APT sources, or  
gentoo sunrise etc).
	If what you need to say is already explained somewhere else, feel  
free to redirect there.
	I will publish your file on the website for better user feedback.


Your help is appreciated, thanks

thank you

Two more things:
1) what command do people use to this rpm? "yum $URL"?
2) had a quick look at the spec file in src.spm:
# the license is BSD if it has any impact
# if there is any more appropriate group than "Applications/ 
Productivity"?
I believe something with "security" or "system" in it would be good
# if iptables is not in /sbin/iptables: does the build work for
unprivileged users too? if not, I recommend appending
--with-iptables=/usr/sbin/iptables
to ./configure

If you agree with these mods, please send me the final
version; I will publish the bin rpm, the src rpm and the txt with the
commands for using them

thanks

Hello Mij,

I believe i have included what you are looking for;
  - Licence Type is changed to "BSD"
  - Package Group is set to be "Applications/System"
  - Added "--with-firewall=iptables"
  - Check for path to the "iptables", if not found in "/sbin/iptables" then
defaults to "/usr/sbin/iptables"
  - The yum URL is http://tantra.homelinux.net/yum/
     .../yum/sshguard/i386/ has the binary RPM
     .../yum/sshguard/source/ has the source

good.

please let me mirror the repos on the official site so I can trace  
its traffic.

The final note: What full command do users run for installing your  
package?
This is for an installing.txt file for your package, compare with the  
one for FreeBSD at
http://sshguard.sourceforge.net/packages/freebsd/installing.txt

The packages page will be visible to users in some days.

thanks

Re: [Sshguard-maintainers] sshguard 1.0

[mantra U. <uni...@gm...>]

1. To install the pre-compiled package for run the following command;
    #rpm -ivh sshguard-1.0-1.i386.rpm
2. To install the source package and compile it your self;
    (a) #rpm -ivh sshguard-1.0-1.src.rpm
    (b) #cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
    (c) #rpmbuild -ba sshguard.spec

    A successfull  build should tell display the final binary RPM location,
Which can be installed later from that locatoin.

Re: [Sshguard-maintainers] sshguard 1.0

[mantra U. <uni...@gm...>]

Hello Mij,
I have found some discrepancy in version v0.91, v1.0, v1.1-beta, the way
"sshguard" is blocking the offending ip's. I found the consistent behaviour
between the v0.91 and and v1.1-beat. But v1.0 stable release seems to be not
blocking address in a timely fashion.

What is the time frame you are planning on release the stable version of 1.1
?


Thanks,
Tantra.

are you talking about the report about not considering attacks those  
with user names with 1 letter?

Although the development has been idle for the former months, I do  
plan to commit
the marginal modifications I had in mind for -stable. I think it  
should be ready in one
or two months.
