Title: bugs?
Post by: Christian on August 12, 2000, 01:06:47 AM

I've discovert maybe two bugs in e-smith v4.0.

1. When I set in e-smith-manager at remoteacces Telnet acces: Privat
    It's still possible to acces the e-smith server by telnet from the wan.
    When I set it at Noacces it is not possible anymore.

2.  When I want use an I-bay as fileshare I get the following problem:

   - First I create a new I-bay
   - Then I set the rights
   - When I copy the files in the new I-bay I get a right problem.

When I greate one directory in the root of files, it's fine.
When I greate within this new directory a second (files
ewdirectory) directory, the second directory get the right's form the user that's greates it. Not the right I set in e-smith manager.

temp Solution:

I copy the files and then on e-smith-manager set the right diverent and press save.
Then I set the original rights back and press save again. Now all tge driectories have the rights I set in e-smith-manager.

If there are any questions, please ask.

I do not believe _access_ is possible. The telnet port may be
visible to a port scanner, but the tcp_wrappers system will drop the
connection after a short delay.

I have taken this offline for further information, but I do not believe
a bug exists here.

Please send security related bug reports to bugs@e-smith.com, not
to a public bulletin board. Allow the vendor time to analyse the bug
and respond appropriately with a rebuttal or a fix.

It seems to be resolved some how.

I did get a prompt for a username and password. But I changed
de rights serveral times for testing and it seems to OK now.

I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I think you can discard my bug report.

Sorry...
I will be more carefull next time!
