It's a battle as old as time: good vs. evil. Fortunately, Linux and FOSS are on our side as we wage the battle against those who try to steal our secrets and invade our systems.
Checking your system's security is best done sooner rather than later. Test the locks with our article on security verification; find out how to use PAM to help secure your systems; use MinorFS and AppArmor to implement discretionary access control; learn more about Samba security in part III of our series; use Darknet to help detect bots and secure your systems; use the Yubikey to increase your site's security; and don't forget to lock the doors, because a cold boot attack could render your security useless if somebody has physical access to your computer.
But, we're not just about sowing the seeds of fear. We also show you how to use memcached in Rails, how to manage multiple servers efficiently, how to deploy applications easily with Capistrano, how to manage your videos with MythVideo, how to mix it up a bit (your audio that is), and even play a few games.






Where's Samba? and the missing openssl files?

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but, while the article says Samba is included, I can not find Samba anywhere on my 10.1.3 system. I started out with 10.0.3, upgraded to 10.0.4, and installed (upgraded) to 10.1.3. 1013 has the ability to mount smb shares but that is not Samba. Samba is the sharing of folders/directories with smb. In Linux, smbfs is not part of Samba, but is part of the Linux kernel. It appears to be the same with OSX.
It is possible/probable that Samba comes with OSX Server but the article's comparison chart does not indicate it is comparing OSX Server with Debian. For one thing, the listed cost of OSX is much too cheap to be the OSX Server cost. Hence the comparison must be to OSX (desktop).
So, where is Samba?
And where are the missing pieces of OpenSSL (headers for example)?
