Re: Summary: Tell portupgrade to use passive ftp
[Jeffrey Goldberg] >As an aside, I'd like to rant that there is no reason for ftp to >exist anymore. Sure it is stateful in a way that HTTP isn't, but >that isn't enough to justify its continued use. I have very good connectivity to several FTP-only mirror sites, and relatively poor connectivity to any that serve up HTTP. None of those servers are under my administrative control. Make trouble somewhere else, OK? >By default (at least in 6.2-RELEASE) fetch is called with the -p >option, thus making my request to the list even less coherent. This >is defined by > > FETCH_ARGS?=-ApRr > >in bsd.port.mk Well, um, no, not necessarily. For instance, I almost always use portupgrade with a -PP option, so my fetch defaults actually come from pkg_fetch, not bsd.port.mk. On my network, anything that attempts IPv6 resolution is bad, so I put the following in my /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf: ENV['PKG_FETCH'] = "/usr/bin/fetch -4pao '%2$s' '%1$s'" This speeds things up immensely... -=EPS=- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: ssh via html
>I want to login on my freebsd remotely by ssh. >I would like a html website that makes a shell and do everything over ssl. You're asking for different things, but you should be asking for different things--because there probably isn't a single solution that will work in all cases. Web-based Option: SSH terminal applet I like AppGate's MindTerm (www.appgate.com/mindterm), but there are others. Caveats: (1) the web browser has to support Java; (2) you will need to run a secure [https] server on the same machine you want to SSH into [due to Java applet security restrictions]; (3) you are still vulnerable to keystroke loggers or other spyware on the client side. Web-based Option: AJAX terminal client The best known is Phil Endecott's AnyTerm (anyterm.org), but Antony Lesuisse's Ajaxterm (antony.lesuisse.org/qweb/trac/wiki/AjaxTerm) is becoming increasingly popular. Caveats: (1) requires a "modern" browser supporting XmlHTTP; (2) you will need to run a secure [https] web server; (3) same as above; (4) likely to be slow. Option: Portable Software Type "portable applications" (or "portable apps") into your favorite search engine, and you'll find a whole bunch of interesting things (including Firefox Portable and portaPuTTY). You can stick these on a USB flash device. Caveats: (1) requires Microsoft Windows on the client side (versions other than 2000 or XP may be problematic); (2) writable flash drives are susceptable to malware that may be present on the client computer; (3) same as above. Option: Live CD Booting a disc like FreeSBIE (www.freesbie.org) or KNOPPIX (www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html) isolates you from whatever evil bits may be lurking on a computer's hard drive, and gives you a predictable, reasonably trustable environment. Caveats: (1) requires rebooting; (2) assumes it can configure networking via DHCP, and there are no "corporate firewalls" blocking egress; (3) still vulnerable to hardware keystroke loggers, etc. Option: None of the above Use your own portable computer or smartphone. Caveat: may require subscription to a wireless carrier's data plan and/or additional network adapter hardware Always assume everything you do is being watched by someone else who does not have your best interests in mind. Use one-time passwords (or some other replay-resistant authentication) to enhance security. Learn how to differentiate legitimate servers from impostors; beware of "man-in-the-middle" attacks. Spoofed DNS and "transparent proxies" are more common than you think. Web-based solutions generally require paying someone for something, even if it's just a server certificate. -=EPS=- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
