Hi [email protected], [email protected] cc: [email protected] I noticed something within a jail that seems a little slack: A ssh to a jail followed by Who, if it shows just pts/0, shows no one else is logged in { within jail And Also Outer Prison [And presumably also other parallel jails] }. (OK Yes, an admin might be logged in to prison on on a direct wire or ttyv but most unlikely in the common case of a remote server farm) So the person logging in to the jail is effectively told "Owner of the prison is also absent, now is a good time to try exploits." Ideally within a jail, logins would get no indication if the prison & other jails were were logged in or not. (OK, Yes, one might argue on a traditional non prison & jails server, one can also see who is, or not, logged in on one large common system, but presumably one benefit of putting users in jails should be the jailed should no longer see presence of outside users ?) Is it viable to tighten the default ? man jail has: devfs_ruleset zero (default) I was using a jail created by ezjail. The outer prison (names obfuscated) mount | grep dev devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel) devfs on /tank4/ezjail/jail1.org/dev (devfs, local, multilabel) fdescfs on /tank4/ezjail/jail1.org/dev/fd (fdescfs) devfs on /tank4/ezjail/jail2.org/dev (devfs, local, multilabel) fdescfs on /tank4/ezjail/jail2.org/dev/fd (fdescfs) Why I noticed: My DSL link timed out, ( no sshd with TCPKeepAlive=Yes, & failed ping -i 120 -q my-isp.de ) Within jail, after who & ps -t to kill junk, new logins persisted at pts/1, not pts/0.
