General :: Fedora 10 Stops Allowing Connections?
Jun 3, 2010I have Fedora 10 set up as a server. Occasionally it will stop allowing connections, such as ssh, http, and samba. This continues until someone hits a key on the keyboard, and then it seems to come back to life and accept connections. At this point, the date and time will be wrong. Judging from monit messages that inform me when it stops allowing connections, I think the time freezes at whatever time it is when it stops allowing said connections.
Power Management has it set for the computer to never turn off. Sleep mode is also disabled in the BIOS.
I thought it was possibly the CMOS battery, but that has been replaced and the issue persists.
Someone previously thought it might have been Network Manager, but that is disabled due to issues it has with a static IP.
Ubuntu Servers :: Allowing Connections From The Outside World Through SSH?
Jan 9, 2010I want to set up my laptop to allow connections to certain users with passwords from anywhere over the internet via SSH but I'm unsure about how I would go about doing this. I only thought it would be the case of setting up the open-ssh server on the laptop then, using my external IP and PuTTY on another PC outside of the network, connect to the external IP through port 22 so I tried this and wait 3 or 4 minutes or so and it says the connection times out.
I have also configured my router to use port forwarding but this doesn't seem to help much either and I have LAMP setup to allow connections to external IP : 80. The only thing I am able to do is access the laptop through the local network by using its internal IP's like 127.198.0.1:22 or something. I was wondering if anybody knows if and could tell me how I would do this as I really want to be able to access my home computer/laptop from my work sometimes, especially if I have work at home which is not with me at work or something.
I know this is possible but I'm quite new to this type of thing and don't know what is going wrong. Have I missed something or do I need to change any .conf files or anything?
Ubuntu :: Allowing Incoming Connections On Port 22 From Anywhere?
Jul 19, 2011I'm trying to get VNC working but I'm getting this error message:
Quote:
ssh: connect to host my_ip_address port 22: Connection refused
When typing:
Quote:
ssh -f -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@my_ip_address x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0 && sleep 5 && vncviewer localhost:0
I'm trying to follow the instructions here: [URL] but I'm struggling with point 2 & 3:
Quote:
2. If you have previously reconfigured the firewall on your PC, make sure the firewall allows incoming connections on port 22 from anywhere, and on port 5900 from localhost (also known as 127.0.0.1)
3. If your PC is behind a home router, or any other device that uses NAT, configure your router to send connection attempts on port 22 (but not port 5900) to your PC
So my questions are:
1. I installed a fresh version of Ubuntu 11.4, should I be concerned about step 2? If so, how can I allow incoming connections on port 22 from anywhere, and on port 5900 from localhost?
2. Regarding step 3, I'm using NETGEAR model DGN1000 router. Is that something that I should do from the router's setting page or it's some commands that I should pass through SSH?

May 14, 2011I have a drive NTFS formatted drive mounted in Debian and a script set to make directories via a linux script and cron job. This was running flawlessly till recently, when I started getting 'mkdir: cannot create directory 'dirname': Operation not supported'.I have been unable to find any help with this issue online.

I know it isn't about file size, as the drive it 1TB.Here is my fstab for reference:Code:/dev/sdb1 /mnt/backupLocation ntfs-3g rw 0 0Do you know what the issue is here?

General :: Allowing Multiple Simultaneous Rsyncs To Play Nice Together?
Jun 1, 2011Each day I need to copy N files from a source location to a mirror at a specific time (where N is very large). Let's say I tell multiple CPUs to each run an rsync simultaneously on a subset of the files (network and disk bandwidth are not an issue). Ideally each CPU would be responsible for a disjoint subset of the N files, but in practice this is sometimes hard to guarantee. (Some of the source files might be "claimed" by more than one CPU.) As a result, sometimes rsync I and rsync J will both try to copy file F at the same time.
Using rsync -avz --delete --temp-dir=/tmp remote:/path/to/source/ /path/to/dest/, let's say rsyncs I and J both see this situation to start:
[Code]...
Now rsync J finishes copying but generates an error when it tries to move its version of FileB to /path/to/dest/ because there's already another FileB there that it didn't see when it started.
Does one of rsync's many options somehow handle this situation? Ideally I'd like an option that tells rsync, "Believe in yourself. You can do no wrong. Feel free to overwrite anything your little heart desires." so that it wouldn't complain about the FileB that has suddenly appeared mid-execution

General :: File-permissions On Read-only Media: Allowing For Access Without Chmod?
Mar 14, 2010I've hit a wall here; I'm attempting to find some way by which to view files and cd into directories on a device mounted read-only. So I need the permissions to read, write, execute (and the same with directories), but chmodding is out of the question because I don't want to alter the drive one iota.
I guess what I could do--what I was thinking of initially--was to dupe the whole drive and then mess with permissions. This wouldn't affect the original (actually I'm working on a duplicate of the original, but I'm treating it as if it were the original) but I was hoping for something that would maintain data integrity. This is a forensic application and not altering the data is very important.

Security :: Policy That Limits Connections On Port - Encapsulates Total Sum Of All Connections From Hosts?
Jan 21, 2011Is it fair to say that connLimit and hashlimit are very similiar on Linux i.e. while hashlimit caters to limits for groups of ports, they both set the connection rate limit per host? How in IPTables, do I configure a policy that limits connections on a port that encapsulates the total sum of all connections from all hosts? i.e. I do not want to allow more than 6000conn/minute for port range that is the sum of all connecting hosts?

Nov 30, 2010I am wanting to add Linux Mint to my computer, but I do not have the room to really do a real install on my computer beside Ubuntu and Vista, so I want to install it on a VirtualBox machine. I have a few questions before I do so. A.) Is all this reversible? B.) It will not affect my current system. Like, if something goes wrong with the install for some reason, it will not affect my current Ubuntu OS, which I will be installing it under. C.) When it asks you to create a hard drive, that is reversible, right? And it's only used when you are using VB? D.) About the hard drive you have to create. I have 2 partitions partitions that I use mainly, my / Linux partition, and OS, which is my Windows NTFS partition. If I create the hard drive on OS, will that mess up the VB?
