Fwd: RulesDuJour Run Summary on taz5.fiberhosting.net

Is anyone else getting these failed messages on their tripwire.cf updates?

I've been getting this message for several days now.

It looks to me like the new tripwire.cf is very broken.

RDJ does THAT? That's unbelievably ugly! The SARE rules have the lead
numbers for a purpose, make sure the rules load in a specific order.

{O.O}   Me glad me use me own bash script instead of RDJ me thinks.

I checked. RDJ is pulling the new one and naming it tripwire.cf in the working 
rule directory. At least they have the same date/time stamp and identical 
content. So I think I'm only using the newer one.

Thanks.

Take a quick look at tripwire and its newer equivalent. They should be
about the same thing. Loading both will result in the rules that may share
a name between the files having the newer version superseded by the older
version because files load in alphabetical order.

When I'm looking for a place to shed load, I'll remember. Right now, this is a 
quad processor box, so I'll take all the rules I can get. We have a pretty 
good spam marking rate right now. Not many things hit tripwire, but all the 
ones that do are spam, so I find it useful to drive the score up.

This is a configurable option in SA, so you can put it anywhere you want. 
Why
the people at Plesk decided to put it there is beyond me, but it works, so
I'm leaving it alone.

Also, /usr/share/spamassassin may be wiped out on each upgrade,
but /usr/share/spamassassin/rulesdujour is not, and the next run of RDJ
repopulates the former.

When RDJ downloads 99FGTTripWire.cf, it renames it to tripwire.cf when it
moves it.

I had no idea that tripwire was obsolete. Where is this information
distributed?



I think it was mentioned around these precincts about the time tripwire
was converted to 99_FVGTTripWire.cf and added to the SARE repositories
as a SARE rule set. I also note that I don't use it here anymore. The
return on CPU cycles investment was not sufficient to run that set
anymore.

Unless something has changed with the most recent versions of SpamAssassin
I see two configuraton errors present.

1) YOu do NOT use /use/share/spamassassin to store rules. They belong
   in /etc/mail/spamassassin or some other such place.

2) Why are you running tripwire.cf (obsolete) and 99_FGTTripWire.cf at
   the same time?

(Note that I do NOT use RulesDuJour here. I have my own script for
handling updates. It's a ridiculously simple bash script that I can
read. {^_-} So maybe using /usr/share/spamassassin is some form of
silly RDJ action. That is a directory that is utterly wiped out with
each upgrade of SpamAssassin, though. So anything in it gets lost.)

I've been getting the same for weeks. I ended up manually updating
rules; especially the stock one since more and more seem to be
slipping through.

The problems seemed to start after the DDoS on rulesemporium; since
then I've not been able to get any sense out of it via RDJ.

When I manually update it all lint's clean. Time consuming but it
works

Hope that helps

This (see post new patch for rules_du_jour ... (Lindsay
Haisley)/18.06.2007) works fine here.

But you probably have to delete the faulty .cf files manually.

The Problem occurs because RDJ once fetched a page which wasn't the 
rules but a HTML page.
Now the config didn't lint anymore but RDJ doesn't delete the offending 
page but assumes, that the page will be updated soon to fix the lint error.
The downloaded HTML page now has a current timestamp and since the real 
.cf file is older and there hasn't been an update since, the newer HTML 
page is kept and fails to lint every time until you manually delete it 
(and the actual .cf gets redownloaded) or a new version of the .cf is 
uploaded... RDJ ONLY redownloads a rule from the server IF it has been 
modified since the timestamp of the local file...
If RDJ would delete failing files, it would solve that problem but lead 
to more traffic to the server, especially when ddoses happen, because 
everyone would try to redownload all the pages all the times....

Did that two days ago. And everything came in fine and worked. I linted it 
then and tonight and the current ruleset lints fine.

The error messages are from the RDJ script pulling in a new file. It does look 
like the RDJ script is pulling the wrong file because the lint error shows 
html tags and there aren't any in my current tripwire.cf file.

If it is true that there are no updates, then why is the RDJ script trying to 
update anything? Is the RDJ server still being DOS'd?

Just try to delete the downloaded files in your rules_du_jour folder
(for example /etc/mail/spamassassin/rules_du_jour/* ), respectively just
the rule(s) that go wrong.I then redownloads the rules correctly and
you're clear to go with RDJ again

Daryl, note that a simple update to RDJ to add a time gap between
individual file update attempts gets through the DDoS protection
somewhat better than a raw RDJ. A friend of mine made such a change
and has it working better.

It's good to know there's been no updates; though I'd guessed that
from the file time stamps on rulesemporium.

There still seems to be a problem with RDJ though. It looks like it's
pulling an entire page not just rules; I can't see any other reason
for the <table> etc elements in the debug.

I'm still curious as to why so many stock spam are getting through (so
many being relative to normal). On the surface they don't look any
different from those that have been caught for ages.

Samples available if required.

Kind regards

Nigel

Note that there haven't been any updates to 70_sare_stocks.cf since May 
7th and no updates at all since June 5th, so manual updates probably 
aren't worth the bother.

I've been getting the same for weeks. I ended up manually updating
rules; especially the stock one since more and more seem to be
slipping through.

The problems seemed to start after the DDoS on rulesemporium; since
then I've not been able to get any sense out of it via RDJ.

When I manually update it all lint's clean. Time consuming but it
works

Hope that helps
