I am trying to backup my system with a script I found here. It gives me an error message of invalid blocking factor for --exclude=lost+found I have no idea what this means. I tried to search this form for that message and received no hits.

For system calls, is blocking or non-blocking default in C? Simple question, just am not seeing the answer super quickly.

I am currently running 8.10 with full-disk (excluding /boot) encryption. I am going to be installing 10.04 on a new laptop, and I was wondering whether it supports multi-factor authentication. Specifically, I would like to have a keyfile on USB/SD memory that is required, in addition to the password, to decrypt the disk. Anyone know of a guide out there? So far my searches have turned up nil.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSince i'm on-the-road a lot encryption is crucial, with windows i've always used TrueCrypt and DiskCryptor, this is very easy to setup and allows me to create usb/cd devices that i can boot off and contain a keyfile, on boot it also requires a passphrase. Currently all i need to do is boot from harddisk and enter my passphrase. I would like to be able to boot from external device (in this case USB) that contains the bootloader and an integrated keyfile, also it should requist the passphrase. I found a guide on how to achieve two-factor authentication with dm-crypt on feisty but it's quite an old guide and is realy realy complicated for a newbie

type * pointer
type *pointer

Are these 3 forms essentially the same, i.e., is the spacing as used here a non-factor when declaring pointers?
I am trying to setup 2-factor authentication for SSH with PAM. Its working well, but if the password is incorrect, it does not ask for validation code, but rather asks for the password again. Any way not to warn about an incorrect password?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe distribution I've been using does not have a proper two-factor login scheme. The daft buggers have configured the system so that whomever is sitting in front of a machine is gifted with the entire list of user names having access to the system. This, of course, only requires them to guess only one of the factors instead of both. So while said system is still a two-factor system it's one whose security has been crippled down to a single-factor system. Does anyone know which distributions have proper two-factor authentication schemes for logging in users?
No, I will not name the distribution I'm using so that a 'fix' can be provided. If the distributions creators have been willing to knowingly bugger the security of the system for the sake of user laziness at the login then heaven only knows what other holes exist. I have neither the time nor the inclination to discover or ask what they might be and how to 'fix' them as well. Better to simply move on to a distribution who won't knowlingly bugger the security.
Was wondering if anyone else had a work around for not being able to change the sensor's "factor"? I need to divide the fan speed by 2, but I'm not able to change anything in the configuration.

After falling out with KDE4.2.4 and using fluxbox for a while, I was sufficiently impressed with my experiments with KDE4.4.3 in slackware 13.1 that I decided to go back to KDE. In particular I'm keen to use plasma netbook on my eee pc 1000H.
But I've hit an annoying snag. The problem is that if I set it to use plasma netbook (System settings>Desktop>Workspace>Form factor>Netbook) it works just fine for the rest of that session but next time I startx it goes back to the Desktop form factor.
The strange thing is that this didn't used to happen, it only started recently and to the best of my knowledge I haven't made any other significant changes or updates to the system. I tried removing the ~/.kde dir and letting kde setup from scratch but that didn't help.
I installed Debian 5.03 Lenny successfully on my machine. I got this error during boot: ACPI : invalid PBLK length [5]. After that the Operating System boots properly and starts normally. What does this error statement mean? Is it safe to work with this installation despite this error?

If I'm understanding correctly, Real-escape-string seems to correct these, so I've been trying to figure out how to use it. A short, test code version gives me a syntax error at INSERT VALUES, which--because it still has the single quotes in the text--tells me the real-escape-string didn't work.

TCP is blocking by default.
Bottom Line: Dvd Drive died in my toshiba laptop and it was replaced (not before tech for some reason reformatted the Win7 partition... which was 100% un-needed, but thats beside the point now. I redid win7 (the tech installed vista) and am TRYING to "redo grub". Facts: The Slackware AND Ubuntu Partitions ARE STILL THERE and when i use SuperGrub Boot CD (which doesn't restore my grub by itself) to boot into slackware, i can see ALL THE CONTENT of both Linuxes still there including grub on ubuntu partition
(Tri-Boot: Ubuntu, Slackware, and WIn7) I had it working for two years or so, SO i know this "setup" works fine. I am A) Trying to do this as simply as possible. B) Trying to avoid the need to download a 800MB ISO (as seen for this issue on this forum) and trying not to have to reformat Ubuntu Partition (though I have the .Debs I have downloaded for it backed up ... all 1.7GB of them) I have /dev/sda1 as win7, /dev/sda2 as Slack and /dev/sda3 as Ubuntu (which contains Grub Legacy).. Every command I do seems to result in an error like "invalid command" or "invalid Execution format " (i think that second one is right) type errors. I compiled (awhile back) a few kernels for Slackware, but feel goofy that I cant figure what i this out (what i thought was going to be a "2 minute" fix)
I have a SSH server on Ubuntu 10.04 running behind a NAT. I have done the port-forwarding at the router. However say for example I want to restrict people connecting to the SSH server by country IP's. When I configure ufw with the following rule it still lets the IPs that are restricted through. Any idea why
sudo ufw allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 to any port 2556

Since I 'd read how to use ufw I created a deny rule for port 139. After a second scan with Nmap it still said that port 139 was open as shown below.

I'm trying to use VNC on my headless desktop server that's running lucid, but I can only use SSH because a pop asking me to unlock the keyring shows up every time I try to use VNC. I don't have a monitor for that desktop, so I was wondering, is there any way to remove the keyring/to automatically unlock it during autologin? I don't remember what a site I found it on, but I used this to remove my keyring yesterday. It's no longer working today.

I might be misunderstanding the log but it looks like UFW is blocking connections. I want to allow all incoming and outgoing. I guess what I'm saying is that the servers on my computer will open ports but all other ports should respond with closed just like a default Ubuntu install. Trying to use UFW to monitor connections without really doing any firewalling.

So first off, it probably seems this question has been asked thousands of times before. but I did do a search, mostly archived posts that ended up being something other than a true ip blocking of the port. [URL]..
So my port 80 is truly blocked. Ive tried setting up the port forwarding on my router, Ive tried manually allowing all traffic on port 80 through ip tables. Ive even dabbled with setting up something like openDNS to see So far nothing, Im only available on my local network.
There has to be some way to do a redirect though. even something as simple as an htaccess file redirecting [URL].. xxxx (the space is there to avoid my url being interrupted by a smiley
