Websense - Linux clients not getting filtered


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, we have Websense Enterprise running on a windows 2003 box. While it's working fine with our windows clients and the quota system is working well, but we have several linux workstations which are not being filtered at all. I can't find much info on linux on their site, where should I start with this?

thanks

Are the linux boxes logging into your windows network? What type of integration do you have with websense? ISA, PIX..

Are you filtering on username and groups, or by IP ranges?

Really need some details if you expect anyone to be able to help you.

Sorry for the massivley delayed reply, completely forgot about this thread :blush:

Basically we have some linux machines (not on the domain), and our quota system is based on windows user accounts. We can't apply a quota to the whole IP range there as there are a fair few users with increased quotas/etc that would be affected as the IP based one overrules the user based quota doesn't it? Is there any way around that? The way I see it we have 3 options:

1 Apply a quota to the whole DHCP range in use (instead of the user-based system in use now), although this would overrule any increased quota users have?, and would also mean they have a separate quota for each machine they use

2 Put all linux users that don't have an increased quota either onto a static IP, or onto their own VLAN (also means a separate quota for each machine)

3 Get all linux machines to authenticate (and log on to) to the domain.

2 and 3 would both be extremely time consuming, and the config changes involved in 3 might interfere with the way software is already set up on their machines.

Are there any other options?

Many thanks

    • Mozilla really should start cutting paychecks of management, CEO and so on. Like they don't have resources, but easily spend millions on that. While decisions of those people lost them ton of money with stuff like services they are now shutting down. And overall I think they got too many people on top too. P.S. Also those sane people on top failed to notice or act on how Google money could go away and do something about it, like alternate sources of revenue. They had many years of ignoring it.
    • WinRAR 7.12 Beta 1 by Razvan Serea WinRAR is an archiving utility that completely supports RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives. It consistently makes smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs. WinRAR offers you the benefit of industry strength archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a key of 128 bits. It supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. It also offers the ability to create self extracting and multi volume archives. With recovery record and recovery volumes, you can reconstruct even physically damaged archives. WinRAR 7.12 Beta 1 changelog: When extracting a file, previous versions of WinRAR, Windows versions of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code and UnRAR.dll can be tricked into using a path, defined in a specially crafted archive, instead of user specified path. Unix versions of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code and UnRAR library, also as RAR for Android, are not affected. We are thankful to whs3-detonator working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative for letting us know about this security issue. Previously "Generate report" command included archived file names into HTML report as is, allowing to inject potentially unsafe HTML tags into the report. To prevent such injection the current version replaces < and > file name characters in HTML report with < and > strings. We are thankful to Marcin Bobryk (github.com/MarcinB44) for bringing this security issue to our attention. If "Test archived files" and "recovery volumes" archiving options are used together, recovery volumes are also tested. Previous versions completed the test before creating recovery volumes, so they hadn't been verified. Nanosecond file time precision is preserved for Unix file records when modifying RAR archive in Windows. Previously it was converted to Windows 100 nanosecond precision.
