That looks suspicious, doesn't it?

If it is enough fast for users, then all is OK

Right, running a Dual Xeon 1.8 processors on Debian with a 2.4.20 kernel (none of this out of date redhat rubbish for me!)

Peak Values:

Disk: 32767 (that same figure again...)

Files: 117

Network: 20252

Transactions: 32767 (again!)

IMHO -- FMS doesn't work on 2 processors. Maybe v. 7?

Indeed, if you look at the server stats:

Linux 2.4.20 (database) 07/29/03

08:17:30 CPU %user %nice %system %idle intr/s

08:17:30 all 0.24 0.00 0.40 99.36 334.10

08:17:30 0 0.28 0.00 0.66 99.05 334.10

08:17:30 1 0.20 0.00 0.31 99.50 334.10

08:17:30 2 0.28 0.00 0.37 99.35 334.10

08:17:30 3 0.20 0.00 0.27 99.53 334.10

CPU 0 seems to be doing most of the work, if you'd call it that I suspect it still benefits from a multiprocessor system since the other processors will deal with other system tasks, given the CPU useage though I think it might be overkill for the current use it gets (although no-one has really logged on yet).

I have feeling, that 2-nd processor will be used up to 5-10% only.

But you can probably run something in parallel with FM

Well our server went down and we had to move the files to a mac laptop., Here are the numbers.

Disk KB/sec 636

Files 16

Guests 5

Network KB/sec 99

Transactions 550

Big difference compared to the Linux server. But will have to do for now.

Do I recall from other thread something to do with disk(s)?

Anatoli,

Actually our server was hacked and being used to ping other IP"s. But at least we managed to pull our files before any real damage was done.

Michael

I am sorry to hear that. It looks like Linux or Windows are easily hackable

We have all FM Windows servers behind firewalls.

Is there known Mac OS or OS X case of successful attack?

Anatoli, what do you mean by a successful attack on Mac OS servers? If they are not behind a firewall (or even behind a filewall with port 5003 open), then all of the Filemaker databases are completely vulnerable. If you were to give me the IP address of a server I could wipe out all the files on it in seconds whether it is Mac, Linux or Windows.

1. Run my FMScanner application which reads the names of all the files on the server at the selected IP address.

2. Select one of the files, and all of its passwords are displayed. (See the attached screen shot.)

3. Run FileMaker Pro and log in to the file using the full access password obtained in step 2.

4. Delete all records.

5. Repeat the above steps for all files on the server.

This is why FM server should only be accessible through VPN or some other secure socket type thing.

I do agree!!!!!!

That my question was quite of topic, sorry.

Nothing to do with FM or FMS.

I was just curious about platform security, that's all.

We do use the VPN only!

Hey Bob,

I hope your 'FMScanner' application is NOT available for other people then yourself?

Ernst.

Don't worry, I just created FMScanner to demonstrate the insecurity of running FM Server on a publicly accessible network (and ...umm... to impress the girls). There is only one copy and it's not going anywhere.

But, it is only slightly less convenient to do the same thing with readily available network traffic analysis software. So, just because my program isn't available, FM Server is still very vulnerable to attack.

RE: FM Server is still very vulnerable to attack.

I'll say everything from FMI is very vulnerable to attack.

IMHO -- FMI has last chance with new version, let's hope it will be 7 and it will be soon.

RE: to impress the girls

I see, that is strong motivation Because of that I use to be a Rock Star and producer...

How easy is that these days for computer geeks

Hey Bob,

Well , I'm certainly impressed, but not a girl. Sorry

regards,

Ernst.
