Mandrake 9.2 installs open proxy by default
Just an FYI here....
I've got two Mandrake 9.2 boxes that I found were running Apache as an open proxy. I realized this when Slashdot refused to accept posts from me (at work and at home) and was complaining that I had an open proxy on my IP. Turned out that I did and I had installed default 9.2 mandrake in both locations.
So I disabled it by adding this text to my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf
<Proxy *>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.0
</Proxy>
Then I did an apachectl reload and everything was fine.
Seems pretty awful that Apache 2.0 is installing as an open proxy on all Mandrake boxes. Somebody at Mandrake needs to fix that. Unfortunately, I don't have a membership at MandrakeClub, so I can't mention it to any of the support folks.
