Re: SUN JavaVM & debian
Right, I'm not from a Debian background..Does Debian have setJava? - Original Message - From: Paolo Pantaleo To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 4:38 PM Subject: SUN JavaVM & debian I noticed this problem: if one install the SUN JVM (and SDK) debian doesn't notice it (ok normal...). So if i want to install some packages that requires a jvm debian will install a new jvm. This isn't obviusly what one wants. I wold like to ask: 1) Is there a workaround to solve the problem 2) Could this problem be solved in a systematic way for all debian & SUN JVM users?

Re: Remote administration of a server
Once again, RSA auth for SSH works well, since there is no password a dictionary attack won't work, make the key a 1024 bit or 2048 bit ket and it'll take an extreme amount of time for any would be intruder to get past this. Of course you'll need to get the public key to yourself when you change keys, which should happen on a regular basis, as would password changes. Getting the key to yourself is relatively easy too, it can be copied through SCP to your workstation and into the relevant file in your home (unix) or in the dir where your ssh client lives (windows) - Original Message - From: Mitja Podreka To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Friday, June 17, 2005 10:05 AM Subject: Re: Remote administration of a server Steve Garcia wrote: You're pretty much correct -- the only really big problem is if something gets so wedged that you have to hit the reset button. If there is someone you can call to ask them to hit the button for you, you can handle everything else remotely with no trouble. I will have people who can press reset button for me. This is not a problem. If you have a fixed IP in China, it would be a good idea to restrict ssh access to the server so that only that IP can connect. I have ADSL connection without fixed IP, can I then set some kind of IP net mask to restrict access from other IP? -- Mitja Podreka http://mitja.kizej.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: stopping ssh attacks
Two things, allow SSH access only from the netblock from which you want the machine accessed (This helps but doesn't solve the problem) Second is switch from password auth to paswordless RSA Auth, this renders brute force attacks pretty much useless.

Re: Request for window manager recommendations
Ultimately this is one of those personal taste type things.. Whatever works for you is your best option. Maybe try a few and see what works for you - Original Message - From: Adam Funk To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 10:07 AM Subject: Re: Request for window manager recommendations Jochen Schulz wrote: A window manager is a program that just "manages windows". It gives applications an area on the screen where they can be displayed and most often the WM draws a border around it, gives it a nice title and enables the user to do things with these windows - put one on the foreground, minimize another one etc. Very often window managers come with some kind of a panel, virtual desktop support and some kind of application launcher (a "start menu" or icons on the panel), but strictly speaking, this is exceeding the task of a minimal WM. Desktop environments (KDE, Gnome. Xfce) do far more than that. They come with a file manager, draw the background with pixmaps and icons, they do some work behind your back to easily handle removable storage or enable drag'n drop. They come with "control centers" to do system administration and generally give the user a simplified, cleaned up view on their system. Applications supporting the DE all look the same and share a lot of routines to do common tasks. DEs also provide applications with a way to register themselves for a filetype which they can handle, which is then reflected when using the DE's file manager and so on... Of course, this list is not complete. Interesting, thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
