General :: Remote Support For Some Boxes Via Ssh
Apr 14, 2011
I want to provide remote support for some linux boxes via ssh. I have no passwords on these machines and they are behind a nat, without port forwarding.My idea was, that whenever a client needs my service, he/she types a command on her machine, which builds up a two-way connection to my server. Using this two way connection I would like to do the task, he/she asked me to.It would be an ideal solution, if it would be transperent for the client, like a shared screen session...

I have given support for my clients since 1985 and used "Remote Session", "Carbon Copy", "pcAnywhere", "TightVNC", and a few others. My choice of preference is to have a server I can trust under my supervision in order to avoid exposing my clients and friends private information from getting exposed? Using TeamViewer, an excellent product, does not secure both my files and theirs because when we connect, we are in their server and if they choose to, can interrupt, copy files, etc. during a remote session. Are there Linux versions for remote support available like TeamViewer that would be in my direct control?

I know I can use Terminal Server RDP v5 to do remote desktop support for Windows boxes - but would like to use something that is easier to use - for the Windows user. Is there a package that allows the user to sign onto a web site and then I can take over their Windows box using my Ubuntu box? Or is there something else as simple without me having to walk them through finding their IP, making sure their firewall isn't blocking me, etc. etc. I would love to show my clients that I can do almost everything with Linux instead of Windows.

I have two Fedora 10 boxes. Both have a user account, Andrew. I use this account all the time.
Now when I put my USB drive (ext3-filesystem) in box I, create a file in it. It works. But when I attach it to box II and try to access the files, it gives me error - Permission denied. I have to use
Quote:
sudo chown -R Andrew
Only then I am able to access the files in it.
When I attach my drive to box I again, it also gives me error - Permission denied. So in both boxes, I have to use
Quote:
sudo chown -R Andrew
first. Otherwise I get Permission denied message.
This means Andrew on both systems is different. How can I make Andrew account on both systems same? So that I can access files on my usb drive without running chown all the time.

I have tried to find a simple "how to". People testify how simple sharing over Linux networks is, but I just can't make it.I have a desktop with Mint LXDB on it. My wife has a laptop with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx connected with a wireless LAN to a D-Link router.
But I can't open mine from her laptop. My aim is to connect her to a backup station connected to my computer. I have been looking into https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo. It is six pages long, complicated and i can't make it work.If networking in Linux should be so simple and native, there must be a better way..I hope.

I have a printer connected to one PC running slackware. The printer is set up to be shared through Samba and I can print to it from my Windows laptop.I would however like to use that printer from another Linux machine (running Ubuntu).Do I need to go through Samba to do this or is there a better way with it being linux-linux?Everything I've found on google relates to going from Linux to Windows unfortunately.

I have a couple things I think is my video card. One annoying thing it does is to put half inch square boxes in random places and times that might be trying to display what was in that spot before you changed the window. Sometimes it can be important information so I had to find a way to do something about it. I couldn't get rid of them but I could move them out of the way by moving the pointer to a different area and turning the scroll wheel. That would put the square in the new area where the pointer was.
The other thing is very bad scroll control. Sometimes I would have to use the arrows in the corner. Sometimes I had to drag the slider which moved hard, not at all or very delayed. The squares also make highlighting very difficult. Because an area will not be highlighted you don't know the results until you paste it. It might be perfect. I believe the video card is on the motherboard. I do have a spare slot so If needed I could put in a new one. Where is my title bar at the top of a screen which allows you to move it around or -minimize or maximize or close.

I have got a nagios server running on my network, The configuration seems to be okay but each time there is a service alert notification, and an e-mail is sent to the contact group, Nagios continuously sends e-mail over and over again. Do anyone know of a way to set Nagios directives to only send one e-mail per alert without it flooding mail boxes.

I was trying to install GTK+-2.8.20, so I installed it's necessary dependencies in this order:
pkg-config-0.23
glib-2.20.4
pango-1.24.4
jpeg library
tiff library
cairo
And I was about to install the last dependency: ATK (Accessability Toolkit).I opened the Archive Manager to extract the "atk-1.26.0.tar.gz" file (yes, I'm still switching from Windows so I'm fond of GUI), but I noticed all the text in that window was boxes, like the □ type box for every letter of text.So instead I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, because the terminal and regular windows weren't screwed up.I opened a text file in gedit (reference to commands in terminal, such as how to extract files via terminal), but yet again all of the text was □-like boxes.

I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.

I'm looking to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6 upon its release on my sister's laptop. I want to share a partition between the two of them so that /home points to this directory and the Windows equivalent also points to it (C:Users).
Anyway, I've heard good and bad things about the NTFSMount driver (I think it's NTFS-3G now) and the NTFSprogs project and so I am not so certain what I should believe. I do know that NTFS has relatively high overhead, though I do not recall the source of this assertion, so I am considering the use of EXFAT. An open source EXFAT project is hosted on Google Code at [url] and it utilizes the kernel module FUSE.
I'm quite certain that I've got everything covered on the Windows side -- that is, I know that both NTFS and EXFAT will be suitable filesystems for my required usage.
My issue is that I'm curious which will have superior performance and stability in Debian. I planned on building the package from source and mounting the device in my FSTAB but I have also found a PPA for Ubuntu on Launchpad at [url] that I could borrow the debian/rules from and make a .deb package from.
What do you guys think? Should I go at it with the EXFAT or NTFS partitioning? Is NTFS-3G actually fairly supported at this point? Or perhaps should I consider some alternate method?
I have also considered that the only files she will be sharing are those of music, videos, and pictures so it could be better to just link /home/xxxx/Pictures (Music and Videos, too) to the new partition instead of all of /home.

Just finished installing slackware 13.37 64 bit on two boxes which are connected to the modem. I ran netconfig to enable dhcpd and the two boxes are on the internet working. Now, what I don't understand is how should I access(r/w) files from one another.

When I turn on my computer running Ubuntu 10, everything works fine except there are no fonts displayed anywhere, and instead i see boxes (like when a character is missing). If i go into a terminal, i see that i have plenty of fonts installed. I noticed a pango error earlier, but I can't reproduce it right now because I am not near that computer. I tried reinstalling libpango to no avail. I have never heard of something like this, can anyone shed some light, or offer some suggestions on what could be wrong?

I am a total novice to Ubuntu OS. I am running 10.10 on a Eee PC 4g.
Some dialog boxes are too big for my monitor. I have tried re-sizing using mouse's middle button but there seems to be a limit to the amount you can reduce, which leaves them still too big??
I have hidden both top/bottom bars.
I am prevented from setting up a wireless connection. 1. Because the 'Editing Wirelss Connection' box/window is too long to be able to click apply?? 2.Because all the tuts I find are for older versions and don't seem to apply now?
I starting to think maybe Ubuntu is not for me, I am not a programmer?

Home network with 3 Win7 boxes and one elderly Fedora 11 box (heloise) which has been running Samba well for several years. I've just built and started configuring a new Fedora 14 box (abelard) to replace heloise, but can't get the Win7 boxes to see shares on it.
Windows Explorer on the Win7 boxes can see abelard, and they can see the two shares I've created on it, but if I double-click on a share I get the "Windows cannot access" dialog.
I've set a Samba password for one user (ralph), the same as that user's login password, and set the "smb password file" entry to point to the resulting .tdb file.
All IP addresses are static (via Static DHCP), everybody can ping everybody, I can ssh from a Win7 box to abelard via Putty, and the network operates cleanly in all other respects. Here's my smb.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2011/05/07 11:25:27
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
[Code].....

I have a box with 6 Ethernet ports. One is the main connection to the box, and the remaining are for connecting to one host each (1-1, ie, 5 different boxes connected to each of 5 ports on the box). I setup a static route to each of the hosts, and it worked. But, now it just doesn't work. There are no firewalls, etc.
Box_A: 10.2.1.200 (going to the switch to outside).It has 5 other ports: port1 (10.2.1.11) <----> Host1: 10.2.1.20 port5 (10.2.1.15) <----> Host5: 10.2.1.25 If I do, ping -I eth1 10.2.1.20, from Box_A it doesn't work. But, it used to work.

I can't think of any obvious reason. I have two Ubuntu 10.04 machines. Each has a two disc RAID array for redundancy. Both are on my class C network (192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.5). Both can access internet through router and I can "reach" each with a windows laptop (I can ping, login via SSH, reach webmin, SAMBA, etc). However, all the sudden, I cannot reach either linux box from the other linux box. It fails "both ways," meaning I can neither ping, login via SSH, use a SAMBA resource or in any way see the "other" linux box from one. This seemed to occur about two weeks ago (maybe after an update?). I've been using Unison to sync the RAID arrays - but not, I cannot sync at all. The only thing I could think of is to check hosts.deny (and allow) which are distribution default (unchanged)...
If I traceroute to the router, I get "1 XXXXX (192.168.1.1) 0.543 ms 1.217 ms 1.204 ms." However, if I try it to the other linux box, I get "3001.294 ms !H 2001.280 ms !H 3001.264 ms !H" which evidently means host unreachable. So it can get to the router (which has the windows box which can see both linux boxes). I just can't think of any reason why/how this could happen? Not sure how what is wrong with hosts file (I have made no changes and it accepts ping/ssh, etc from windows machine). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I just upgraded from Slackware 12.2 to 13 and most things seem to be working fine (with the exception of the new Amarok, which crashes).However, in the GTK applications I use (Firefox, Gimp, Aumix), all the fonts have been replaced by square boxes.point me in the right direction on troubleshooting this problem? Did I miss a step or do something wrong while upgrading?

I can't get a certain harddrive out of its mounting (screws too tight) , but I want it connected to a different computer. Is it possible to have the harddrive's powercable connected to one computer, and its SATA cable connected to another computer's motherboard? (The powercable is too short to connect it to the other computer.)

I got a new computer yesterday, a 64-bit Asus.I replaced the power supply and the graphics card immediately. I booted the computer up with a spare 20"idescreen monitor on a portable desk to install Ubuntu and make sure all was well with the newly installed power supply and graphics card.It worked perfectly.I moved my old tower out from its slot under my desk and put the new Asus tower under there. I plugged it into my 23" widescreen monitor and booted the computer.Ubuntu (9.10) boots just fine... but the login screen is all boxes!! There are no characters, just little white boxes. I can put in my password and log in. Once logged in the system is fine - all characters display normally from within Ubuntu.
