One of the common requirements in a Linux-based network is to include Linux workstations. There are a multitude of ways to do so; if this network also includes Windows workstations that are connecting to the Linux file server, you’re likely already using Samba. This document describes how to have a Linux workstation access data on a Linux file server via Samba. Here’s a quick tutorial to the essential steps involved in setting up a Linux File Server and having Linux workstations connect to it, using Fedora Core as an example.

For example, runlevel 3 is configured in mainstream distributions such as Red Hat, Fedora Core and SuSE to provide full multi-user capabilities with networking and a text-based interface. Runlevel 5 is the same as runlevel 3, but with an additional step of loading a graphical user interface for the user. Many servers are configured to boot into runlevel 3 as part of their normal operation, since they don’t need a GUI to do their job.

Hey! Socket programming got you down? Is this stuff just a little too difficult to figure out from the man pages? You want to do cool Internet programming, but you don’t have time to wade through a gob of struct s trying to figure out if you have to call bind() before you connect(), etc., etc. Well, guess what! I’ve already done this nasty business, and I’m dying to share the information with everyone! You’ve come to the right place. This document should give the average competent C programmer the edge s/he needs to get a grip on this networking noise.

With Active Directory, Microsoft has provided administrators with a powerful directory service to organize network data and to control access to network resources from a central point. However, “powerful” by necessity also means complex, and the complexity of Active Directory has probably contributed to slowing down the rollout of Windows 2000 and 2003 servers. Initially, many organizations found simply migrating their flat NT4 domain structures into a more sophisticated Active Directory wrapping to be a significant challenge. By now, many have defined their Active Directory Forests, survived an often cumbersome deployment process, and seen their directories mature into efficient tools for centralized administration. Policies have become the levers of network management, and, as a result, Active Directory has become a repository holding extremely sensitive data.

The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used to secure PPP connections over TCP/IP links. In this paper we analyze Microsoft’s Windows NT implementation of PPTP. We show how to break both the challenge/response authentication protocol (Microsoft CHAP) and the RC4 encryption protocol (MPPE), as well as how to attack the control channel in Microsoft’s implementation. These attacks do not necessarily break PPTP, but only Microsoft’s implementation of the protocol.
