Re: Nagios External Commands

Things to check: command_check_interval=-1 command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd Make sure command_file is readable by nagios user. What does the nagios log say? /var/log/nagios/nagios.log (or somesuch) Usually it is a permissions error. On Fri, Oct 30, 2015 at 1:46 PM, Kenny

Re: Opinions on Tor?

I think the concern is that it was a tor node - and nefarious bits would be embedded in the packets and no one would know. On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 12:26 PM, Thomas Charron wrote: > On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 4:43 PM, jsf wrote: > >> I believe TOR, although

Re: New malware at work? Fake referrer 11m.php and trying various .asp URLs.

afraid.org is a community-driven dynamic DNS provider. You can donate domain names to it and they make subdomains of those domain names available to everyone. That said - it is certainly abused by bad guys, too. -dan On Wed, Dec 2, 2015 at 11:50 AM, Joshua Judson Rosen

Re: What Language for a kid

Python is the defacto intro language at colleges now. I'm not sure what step one is to learn python but step two is http://pythontutor.com Click 'python' on the first page and then on each of the sample apps press 'Forward' until completion. That is pretty much all of computer science 10[0-9].

No. That is strange. Try both control keys at the same time. The keyboard controller will do a story if soft reset. (Ancient trick) On Feb 7, 2016 3:55 AM, "Joshua Judson Rosen" wrote: > So, this may be only marginally on-topic at best..., but > > I've got this weird

Re: iptables confusion.

There is a place for webmin - especially when you need to hand over a system to users as a contractor. For iptables everything got easier when I started using iptables -S which displays the existing rules in the same manner that you specify them instead of the constant mental context switching.

Re: Need advice on domain management and transfer

I switched to AWS. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar.html $12/yr and and their business model isn't based on domain registration gimicks. I also opted for the 50cent/mo DNS hosting. Comes out to about $1.51/mo to host a static website on S3, all inclusive.

Re: L-o-n-g delay for rc.local in systemd on Ubuntu.

+1 Tom. Not to detract in any way from his answer - he is spot on and everyone should learn systemd if they are using systemd. If it isn't a daemon and just something that's gotta be done once after a power outage I've used CRON's @REBOOT. Especially for non-root users.

Re: What's the strategy for bad guys guessing a few ssh passwords?

If you can change the port number it does wonders against the script kiddies. Just remember to add the new port, restart sshd, then remove the old port. :) On Sun, Jun 11, 2017 at 1:53 PM, Ted Roche wrote: > Thanks, all for the recommendations. I hadn't seen sshguard

Re: Need to copy a 200GB directory

Ditto Ken on two points: 200GB isn't that large (I've worked in an animation studio) and rsync is restartable. I'd go with rsync. It has a dizzying array of options and even more finer points. You don't need the rsync daemon. Try to use full paths. Include trailing slashes if copying
