samba/apache machine security risks

fatman · 01-16-2004, 08:54 PM

I am planing on running samba and apache on the same box (but not much else) within my home network.

Assumming that I properly configure apache, will samba cause any security vulnerabilites I need to be aware of?

Oops. Maybe i should have posted in the security forum.

as long as u set the share permissions correctly in samba and on the directory's/file's them selves there is not much of a risk that is what i did.

cft.gotdns.org with runs my apache + samba + dhcpd(internal net)

no security probs yet for the web server i reccommend a rwe level of 755 this way others cant right over your web site but can still view it

make sure u use recursive when changing the permissions.
