Hey all, Let's make an assumption: 1) I am a root user on a system. 2) I don't want said system being used as a jumping-off point if either a user account or the root account is compromised. Given an unencrypted private key, plus a known_hosts file, plus bash_history, it's a pretty easy avenue of attack once you're in the front door. And it's happened before*. Thus,

All, I occasionally manage some APC PDU devices. I manage them via a VPN, which enforces super-heavy crypto, and their access is restricted to only jumphosts and the VPN. Basically, the only time you need to log into these is when you go to reboot something that's down. Their web UI with SSL doesn't work with modern browsers. Their CPU is...tiny, and their SSHd implementation

Okay, this one is driving me nuts. I have a fedora core 1 machine running asterisk from CVS. Built last week. I have a couple of snom phones with the latest firmware. Here's the issue, it's a wierd one. You start up the phones, they register, all is good. They show up in sip show peers like thus: danm/danm 65.125.237.91 D N 255.255.255.255 5060 OK (29 ms)

Hey all, I found a pinout of powercom's Kingpro UPSes in their manual. http://www.powercom-ups.com/manuals/kingpro.pdf Page 11. Unfortunately, this doesn't give PROTOCOL details. Does anyone have a "first step" at how to decode that? (for example, how to gauge line speed, how to "snoop" the serial port under windows? (for which the only software exists right

Hello all, I'm trying to set up a secure way to back up a system as root, with rsync (assume we don't want to kill the bandwidth and want a "snapshot" system for developers in a way that makes dump, tar, etc impractical. We've got an ssh key relationship set up and we can force the command to be rsync --daemon. The problem here is that while this is not only good for

One of our users recently had a powerfail while connected to our meetme gateway. (Asterisk 1.4.17 on debian 4.0) Through the course of it, asterisk never hung up. His system came back up, and started sending ICMP port unreachables, but the stream went on, flooding him with "silence" media stream packets (there was nobody else in the conference). Is asterisk aware of ICMP

Hello All, Dovecot 1.0.3 I am coming from UW IMAP, and I'm finding for some reason that mail is getting stored in a variety of places (which I believe, is because by default UW imap allowed access to the entire home directory). All files are mbox. My default delivery location is ~/.mail Thus: * At least a couple of my users have mail in ~/INBOX, as well as ~/INBOX.drafts (not many

When using a PRI, after the remote party hangs up, asterisk tries to spawn a call to the "h" extension. Is this normal behavior for a pri to try to call the "h" extension to try to clean things up? Call Comes In: -- Executing Dial("Zap/1-1", "SIP/16464436000@AST-237.65") in new stack -- Called 16464436000@AST-237.65 -- Accepting call from

Guys, For what it's worth, after months of trying to troubleshoot issues with them, and after paying them around $2500 for setup and a down payment (it's unclear what of that will be refunded, if any) BroadVox -- http://www.broadvox.net/ -- decided to terminate our contract without any valid reason, and the only explanation they could cite was "it's because of the software

Hi. I have a box (a net5501 with a Perle serial octal RS-232 card in it) that I want to use as a console server for a bunch of headless computers. I was wondering if there's a trivial app that I can run as the shell that ssh (or telnet) would run, example: #!/bin/bash port=$(echo "$SSH_CONNECT" | cut -d' ' -f4) let -i tty=$port-2000 ttyname=$(printf

Hi, Many thanks for this! I was looking for an inexpensive solution, and a Nokia tablet is too expensive for me. I was hoping for a cheap mp3 player with a USB connection, but thanks for the advice anyway. Abe On 7 July 2010 19:30, Ognjen Bezanov <Ognjen at mailshack.com> wrote: > My nokia n810 does this.

HI all How to setup nut to use and monitor laptop battery on linux? (/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state) Emard

For security, many systems are configured so you cannot log directly as root via the initial authentication in openssh. What is usually done is that you log onto as your normal login and once you get a interactive shell you su to root to run the command that requires root. Does openssh have a more elegant way of exec'ing a command as root so I can run the command non-interactively? I know:
