RE: horse, was RE: CLUG and the yellow-eyed penguin Here's an incomplete list of what you might want to do with an account... 1) You want to get to a web site at www.foo.net however your home net connection cannot connect. People on the mailing list/IRC say that the site is working. You could ssh to horse and see if its your connection or your ISP that is faulty. 2) You've made a change to the DNS for mydomain.geek.nz, but your ISP has cached the old DNS record. You want to make sure its working so check it with a quick host command from somewhere else on the net. 3) You've just installed IP cop 1.4 and want to nmap yourself from the outside. 4) You want somewhere to host a linuxy web page. 5) Test a threaded app on a multi-CPU box. 6) Traceroute to your IP or another site to help diagnose internet problems. ... Anyone add more ... Later stuff: Email aliases - [EMAIL PROTECTED] redirect to whatever address you want CVS server ... Anyone add more ... It's a tool, and a privelage for being a member of CLUG -----Original Message----- From: Brendan Greer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 2 October 2004 10:04 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: horse, was RE: CLUG and the yellow-eyed penguin Hi This is a newbie question. What would a person want an account on another machine for?
