== The Ugly ==

ServerDeleuze decided to start dying one day so a few evils were committed in moving services.

=== Exim ===

Installed `exim4-daemon-heavy procmail`, merged deleuze's config onto the current Debian base exim4 config. No config package has been created.

Added /etc/ferm/service.d/...

 * test fail2ban before deploying
   * Defaults look OK for protecting ssh, but is ferm resetting rules added by fail2ban?
 * Fix fail2ban
   * ferm resets rules ever time it reloads. Add a ferm hook to reload fail2ban on firewall reload

mccarthy.hcoop.net is our first Debian Jessie VM, and is intended to run mail services and the member portal.

1. The Ugly

ServerDeleuze decided to start dying one day so a few evils were committed in moving services.

1.1. Exim

Installed exim4-daemon-heavy procmail, merged deleuze's config onto the current Debian base exim4 config. No config package has been created.

Added /etc/ferm/service.d/...

2. Setup Issues

  • Fix fail2ban
    • ferm resets rules ever time it reloads. Add a ferm hook to reload fail2ban on firewall reload
  • sudo $command > file does not work, piping does however. Probably a new sudo option to detect output redirection and squelch output.

  • systemd work:
    • domtool unit files seem to work OK so far
    • ferm is likely starting earlier than it should be, and may fail if the generated config references any pts users
    • dnscache-run starts very late by virtue of daemontools starting late. Either hack daemontools to be WantedBy=nss-lookup.target (systemd equiv of LSB $named service), or make dnscache-run a native systemd service.

      • Hacked momentarily by adding Google DNS servers as backups
