Re: How to disallow DNS servers responding to recursive queries?

Maybe you could log in to your DNS server (the X.X.X.X in your last message) and run (as root) netstat -plutn | grep 53 this will show which process is listening on port 53 (DNS). If you post here the output, it may help to identify what kind of service/server is running. Common DNS servers are bind...

Re: How to disallow DNS servers responding to recursive queries?

You'd first need to find out which resolver you have installed in that server. Common options are bind (which you say you don't have) and unbound. Note that you dig test returns NOERROR if the server (192.168.45.67) provides a result. This doesn't say anything about whether it allows or not recursiv...

Re: Some questions about SSH

1- I can't get your point. When "PermitRootLogin no" is disable, then I should be able to log in with the root account. Is it otherwise? The default for PermitRootLogin is "prohibit-password", at least in the stable debian version. If you have something like # PermitRootLogin no...

Re: [Discussion] Do you use Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?

TBH I don't think I actually need them, and I actually try to avoid using them (if I can use TOTP instead). I bought them because at some point Cloudflare and Yubikey had some offer where you could buy 2x for like USD 15, and wanted to test them. I also have two "SoloKeys" (one standard, o...

Re: [Discussion] Do you use Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?

I use Bitwarden (actually, Vaultwarden), so I keep my TOTP's accessible from any device. Whenever I sign up or enable 2FA I make a copy of the data (or QR code) so that I can add it to Vaultwarden as well as to Aegis (Android). With Aegis you can also export the data to a file. I keep a copy (encryp...

Re: Can't register for forum using Gmail account

Gmail requires either SPF or DKIM for low-volume senders, and both + DMARC for higher volume. This has been "turned on" relatively recently, so maybe this is the issue. I don't have any e-mails from forums.debian.net at hand, except for the "welcome" e-mail from 2014, which had n...

Re: [Software] Debian 11 Postfix and SMTP Smuggling exploit

Today 3.5.23 was released, among others like 3.6.13, 3.7.9 and 3.8.4 providing the new 'smtpd_forbid_bare_newline' option. I'm not sure debian will provide this as a security update (there is some debate wrt whether this is a security issue at all or not). But I guess at some point there will be upd...

Re: CRON.hourly killer logs user out as lxdm doesn't register user during login; bug or bad conf?

what's that cron.hourly "killer"??

I don't think there's such a thing. And if it's something you hacked yourself, then just disable/remove/fix it.

Re: How to find/debug: Failed to open configuration file

I still think that there must be a systemd unit or timer configured for the www-data user, whose home is usually /var/www, so that systemd will look at /var/www/.config/systemd/user. I'm not very familiar systemd user units/timers (and I find them weird), but you said there is no /var/www/.config di...

Re: Website on different port on server is not reachable (Possible DNS Problem)

When you type "ws2.org", how do you expect a browser to know that it has to connect to port 63 instead of the default 80? Hint: you can't, generally. (you could add an HTTPS record to your DNS, which allows to tell the browser which port to connect to, but some browsers might no support th...

Re: How to install php7.4 in Debian 12 (bookworm)?

If you must, use docker or some other sandbox. PHP7.4 is not included in bookworm, so you'd have to add extra non-debian repositories, potentially making a mess of your installation.

What's "for testing purposes" anyway? why not test with a supported version?

Re: Scripts to Install programs

To change the computer name (hostname) easily, you can use hostnamectl.

Or you do this "by hand" by (stream) editing /etc/hostname, /etc/mailname (if you run a mail server), and /etc/hosts (the entry for 127.0.1.1).

Re: Flush DNS cache in Buster

Honestly, the easiest would be to reboot also the computer, like you did with the router.
But also honestly, I don't think your issue has anything to do with DNS cache.

Maybe you want to explain what "access problems with passwords not recognised" means exactly.
