Topic: Port Scan Detectors

[Mike]

Hi there.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any port scan detectors that can be integrated into the server-manager console.
Thanks.

You mean like my port scan contrib ;->

Try PortSentry from Psionic (www.psionic.com).

rpm at ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/freshrpms/enigma/portsentry/portsentry-1.1-fr6.i386.rpm

Hey.
Thanks for the info guys, but how do I install them as the filenames are too long to save to the Mitel server. I will ultimately run the installs remotely.
Thanks,
Mikie.

names are too long ??? I regularly download files with longer names than those to a mitel server. I generally use a Windoze pc to download files then save them to the rpm I-Bay I created for just such a purpose.

Yeah, I know it sounds funny. What I do is d/l them to my mac (running 10.2.2) which supports 255 character filenames, and then try to copy the files to my I-Bay, but I get this message:

'You cannot copy the item "dmc-mitel-portscan-0.0.1-1-noarch.rpm" because the name is too long or includes charachters that the disk cannot display'

I'm sure I have been able to do this before as I have run the Update_2 remotely via an I-Bay, so I'm stumped.
Any ideas?

Ok, sussed it. I compressed the directory as tar.gz on my Mac, copied it across to the I-Bay, and then uncompressed it remotely, and it works! Yippeee!
Thanks for all your help all of you,
Mike.

I use OS X 10.2.2 also. If you are sharing via afp then files names are always limited to 32 characters. If you use smb you can get larger files names to work, but not 256 as it should. Also Jaguar sometimes mangles file transfers (see www.macwindows.com for more info) under smb. This doesn't happen too often to me though. Tarring the files like you did with a short name is an extra but guaranteed step.

Hi Peter.
Thanks for the info - will check the site later on.
Have you or anyone had any luck trying the portsentry.rpm mentioned by Ad and also in the thread he posted:

http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=3742.msg12859#msg12859

It seems to have installed, but there is no panel in the server-manager, and my Unix/command line skills are not the hottest (but getting better).

Any help on this one would be great.
Thanks.
