That'd explain the different config style you're seeing. Snap! I was about to say that from what Harry's describing this is more of a cheaper 'cisco appliance' than a cisco router. Linksys is a very probable candidate. In that case you may be able to blast the firmware and install OpenWRT and the like.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Script to crack gpg passphrase
This is less sinister than what it sounds, but nevertheless necessary
when one forgets the passphrase and has no revocation cert handy.
I am trying to come up with a script to crack the passphrase, but my
poor scripting ability (non-existent really) hampers my efforts.
Looking at google I ended up with this modified example:
===
#!/bin/bash
#
# try all word in test.txt
for word in $(cat test.txt); do
# try to encrypt with $word passphrase
echo ${word} | gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --no-tty -a --export
seckey.gpg -o file;
# if decrypt is successfull; stop
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo GPG passphrase is: ${word};
exit 0;
fi
done;
exit 1;
===
The file test.txt has a list of passwords (one in each line, no
spaces) I am told 'sound like' the passphrase the user had set.
The output file is not created (therefore I assume that the script
does not work) but prints out the public key and only the first
passphrase in the list:
===
$ ./crackgpg.sh
gpg: enabled debug flags: memstat
gpg: writing to stdout
-BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-
Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux)
[snip ...]
-END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-
random usage: poolsize=600 mixed=0 polls=0/0 added=0/0
outmix=0 getlvl1=0/0 getlvl2=0/0
secmem usage: 0/32768 bytes in 0 block
GPG passphrase is: sebpirleydrodujrem
===
Any idea what I could use in the above script to make it try one word
at a time, not ask for confirmation and print the *successful*
passphrase word at the end? Any other scripting suggestions also
welcome.

Mick

After waisting alot of time I found out the following things (I hope sooner or later it will help someone else): - for smartcard using through rdesktop you don't need a driver for the card - you don't need to do anything with openct-tool/openct-control - If openct has started stop it and disable it, also kill all ifdhandler processes, you don't need them - just use pcscd -d -f and then plug in your smartcard reader - When started you will see the light flashing on your smartcard reader - on 32 bit it seems to work fine.. however on my AMD64 it did not BUT - setup a 32 bit chroot (as described in the gentoo chroot 32bit howto) and emerge rdesktop (with smartcard support) and pcsc-lite. (or using quickpkg) - Now get the files from the package or from the 32bit chroot itself (/usr/bin/rdesktop and /usr/lib/libpcsclite.so.1) and copy them over to your 64 bit environment. I recommend putting /usr/lib/libpcsclite.so.1 in /usr/lib32/ on your 64bit environment. (Do note that everything else is 64 bit, so your driver/bundle for openct as well) I'll add any further info if necessary.

There is no error - just no output. The SPDIF port (which I really need) does not emit any light, then. Sometimes after a cold reboot, it works again. I've found several threads pointing to problems with kernel 2.6.32 (solved in 2.6.33, I'm on 2.6.36). Some others made me wonder if alsa is confused by the HDMI output of the graphics card. I blacklisted snd_hda_codec_atihdmi and switched driver from fglrx to radeon but it did not change anything. I don't have the means to check whether there is any output over HDMI. I know that at least Volker has a similar board. Maybe others as well. Does someone have a clue what's going on? I'll append some info. [...] I have a similar problem. There was an email thread about it a few months ago. Nothing much happened with it because sound occasionally works for me. Sometime it comes back after a reboot or restart of alsasound, and sometimes if I leave the machine running a long time if will just start working or just stop working . . . really weird. I've been running alsaconf a lot and that seem to get it back most of the time if not I still need to restart alsasound or reboot. Also, if you haven't run python-updater in a while you should, that seems to fix a lot a odd behavior. Good luck. dhk Well, I guess I just spend 20 EUR on an USB soundcard. They work reliably and quality doesn't matter much anyway if I just need digital output. Regards, Florian signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Did you try this from the Internet, or from within your LAN? Inside lan. I guess you are saying that connection is expected be from outside? Haven't had the opportunity for that yet. The only remote machine I have access is to is a shell account on a gentoo machine, so lynx, and I've seen on home lan that the device responds to lynx telling me I need a newer browser, when I hit it by IP using lynx. Jumping up the thread a bit now, after Pauls excellent input. I see that iptables cmd is known on the OS, but man I really had not wanted to pound my way thru iptables to the point of competency.
