SMB/NetBIOS active on iSCSI-R3?

[To-M]

Not sure what the complaint is DSS or iSCSI-R3? What are the un-needed services you are referring to - need details? Then we can ask others what their opinions are as well. We are looking into giving more control to the user on some of these services but at a later date. And yes we are using debian etch, this is easy to identify with the logs. What distros have you developed or have tested with results? Need more details to support the use of your discussion.

heres my nessus summary, if you want the actual report let me know:

unknown (842/tcp)
https (443/tcp)
vampire (6669/tcp)
unknown (25456/tcp)
irc-serv (6666/tcp)
unknown (4702/tcp)
unknown (11798/tcp)
vocaltec-gold
unknown (25457/tcp)
ircd (6667/tcp)
netbios-ssn (139/tcp)
sunrpc (111/tcp)
http (80/tcp)
iscsi-target (3260/tcp)
microsoft-ds (445/tcp)
ldap (389/tcp)
irc (6668/tcp)
prosiak (22222/tcp)
cddbp (888/tcp)
sunrpc (111/udp)
unknown (840/udp)
netbios-ns (137/udp)
ntp (123/udp)

Thats the open ports on a iscsi-r3 box. The only things I'm expecting are 3260 and 22222!

possible that Xinetd is enabled? why would I see IRC!

Please send logs to support about this. We need to review them on these ports. Thanks for bringing this up!

[netsyphon]

ok i sent it to support@open-e.com

thanks for looking into this

[To-M]

Any way you can send the logs from Status > Hardware > Log then click on the "Download" button so we can get the whole log file? Thanks for sending this!

[netsyphon]

sent that as well

NetBios is enabled as it should be to access server
over IP and name.

Also we don’t have IRC server, this port is used with raid tools
(even if this tool is not used our port server lock it).

ok we have been pen-testing this since last night (mini hackathon lol) and what i have initially found is that there is no way to access these services - which is what i expected.

what i really wanted to hint at for this wasnt that we didnt trust that they were configured properly by open-e; just that if i purchase an ISCSI-R3 product im still running all these DSS'ish services

so in the food chain all dev work is done on DSS then flows out to ISCSI product, maybe before putting the "big red bow" on the ISCSI-R3 product, they could for example:

"/etc/init.d/samba stop" etc. etc.

make sense? its really the only difference in my performance variances between gentoo (my bootstrapped, hand built iscsi box which took 4 hours to get set up) and open-e. i have 2 ports open in gentoo - 3260,22 it was only about a 2% difference in performance and that small of a difference is completely trivial when you are talking about something that peaks at 128mb/s on a single gbe link.

Thanks for the update. I will send this to our research and development team and se if we can have this excluded with iSCSI-R3. Again excellent work!
