I'd like to administrate my parents' computer over the Internet. When I google for a tutorial on what I have to install and configure on my and their PC, I always end up with tutorials on servers and the like or tutorials for a connection between Ubuntu and Windows.
Does anyone know of an easy tutorial for remote desktop when two private, simple (Ubuntu-installed) PCs are involved?
I have an environement where I have several servers, a mix of both Windows and variouse linux flavours. How can I easilly administrer the linux boxes as easy as possible? On Windows I use RDP, but what are the opttions in Linux?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm try to assess the viability of of setting up remote administration on a distant machine. Just for background, the computer I wish to administer is located on a boat in Southern Ireland while I'm in SE England. Sadly, the the boat operator is a far better fisherman than computer user and every now and then some rogue sensor numbers get captured by the boat's computer and these eventually need operator intervention. Anyone who has tried to talk a non PC literate user through correction routines over a dodgy mobile telephone while the said user is trying to operate mouse/keyboard in an Atlantic swell will appreciate the problem.
However, there is a fairly good mobile phone broadband signal available in the area so I was wondering if there was anyway I could set up a point to point connection with the boat over this medium. That would allow me to administer the machine remotely.
I am having some trouble getting a VNC session to a new OpenSuse 11.2 32bit machine I have just installed.Fresh off the DVD, tried under KDE4 and Gnome with the same result (each time a fresh install).In YAST, I enabled remote administration, open the firewall ports, and then try and connect from remote client (in this case I have tried RealVNC from windows, and krdc from a Suse 10.x client and via HTTP) all result in the same blank black screen (http does get an X cursor echoed on the screen)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to get Remote Administration (vnc) working for the life of me. I tried the ip4/ip6 fix and every other work around I could find. I simply can't figure things out. I can't say I'm new to Linux but I can say that I am quite new to openSuse and the RPM world in general. My actual error isn't much of an error but that of the vnc window just being a black window that eventually times out.
As of now I access and configure the box vis ssh.I'm using:
openSuse 11.3
Gnome Desktop
Installed from gnome live CD
how one professionaly would solve the security and administration for the multiple webadmins, but firstly I give some general information.I spent 2 days searching and there are alot of good guides but I dont see my specific questions answered, not so I can understand them atleast.I have Ubuntu 10.10 64bit server edition installed.I am educating myself and am new to linux but use vmware and have installed Gentoo multiple times and a copy of Ubuntu server. This server is going to be setup on the 64-bit 10.10 Ubuntu virtual machine.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu Server (lamp+openssh) on a laptop in order to use it as a testing web server for my projects. After configuring it I've also installed the GUI to make things easier as I'm not very proficient using just the command line.
I'm using the wireless connection on the laptop to communicate with the router and my main desktop (Windows). I've assigned it a static local IP (192.168.1.99) in order to be able to access the sites on my web server from my desktop, and everything works fine.
Now comes my problem: I need to be able to access those local sites from a remote location (outside of my local network) as well. How can I do that?
We have installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS for file share (Samba) at our local network.
I want to access my local server (Local IP 192.168.1.200) via internet from remote location. I have already installed SSH on our ubuntu server. I understands that using "Putty" we can access our server. Furhter, our Internet IP is dynamic (which is not an issue for us).
I want to get all the directories from a remote server using ftp. I know how to use mget for files, I would like to know if there is a similar way to get the whole directory with the files included obviously.
View 1 Replies View Relateddoes anyone know of a good site/book/guide to learn about linux web server administration?
and also how do you find the your own nameserver numbers? would that just be the IP of my web server?networking isn't my forte, but i do intend to learn with this project.
The question that I am posting here is quite interesting as it was asked in the interview I attended today. And, honestly, I could not provide a solution. Ok, here goes the problem statement:Design a Web Interface that has three text fields:
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
And a button:
When we click the Submit button, the two entries must be set in the concerned files and then the network service must be restarted to bring the new IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway in effect.As we all know that these settings can be done by the root user or a user who has those priveleges.The complete web interface needs to be done only in PHP. Some Shell Script can be used if required.
I'm looking for some books that can get me started on server administration. I'm looking for either distro-independant or for slackware server administration.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to set up guake to automatically open 2 programs in two different tabs via ssh on my remote server. I have succeeded in doing this, however whenever the last command is run the terminal tab locks up and I can't enter any input, the only command that works is ctrl+c to kill (in this case) iptraf. I think it might be something to do with how I'm sending my ssh password using echo and pipe. This is my script:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
# script to launch multiple guake windows on Network21 local server
guake --rename-tab=Htop21 --execute-command="ssh -t 192.168.1.137 'htop'" &
sleep 5 &&
guake --new-tab=2 --rename-tab=Iptraf21 --execute-command="ssh -t 192.168.1.137 'echo password | sudo -S iptraf'" &
The first and second commands always work, whilst the last one loads iptraf then the cpu maxes out and i can't enter anything unless I kill the program. I've also tried nload and a couple of others, with the same results.
I have Ubuntu 10.4 Server, it's a local intranet server in back of a router in a "standard" home network. As I understand it laptops, PCs and the server are "hidden" from direct contact with the internet by Network Address Translation [NAT]. The router is a Linksys WRT54G all clients are connected to it, and the router itself is connected to a modem provided by the ISP. The server was given a static IP address. To admin the server I connect from a local client with SSH and get a command-line.
Is there a way to admin the server if I am a thousand miles away from this local network? Putting it another way, Is there a way to "tunnel" through to the server, give the user/pw and get a command-line from the internet? What software or hardware is needed?
I'm using an older redhat system (2.6.9-22.ELsmp) here which is running an older mysql (server version: 4.1.12). I don't think that's the source of the problems. I believe that have understood things rightly when I say that the mysql root user is unrelated to the linux root user ... in my case I believe the root user to be the unix user mysql. So when I connect to the server (local host from a local terminal) I use:
Code:
-bash-3.00$ mysql -u mysql -p
and enter a blank password
This gets me on, however I seem unable to do anything like create database or alter privilege. I wonder if its related to my finding no database called mysql?
-bash-3.00$ mysql -u mysql -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.
Your MySQL connection id is 11 to server version: 4.1.12
Type 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> show databases;
+----------+
| Database |
+----------+
| test |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Although I understand that show databases will not show things I have no priv to see. Does this mean my settings for the users are all screwed? How do I rectify this situation? Some other (perhaps) useful information.
Code:
[root ~]# cat /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib
[mysqld_safe]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log

how to configure remote server....and how many maximum user loging remotely
View 8 Replies View RelatedI cannot access a remote server(Ubuntu) using ssh or even using sftp from my ftp client. I've been accessing this server regularly for many months with no problem until now. There is a web server running and that's OK, so no problems there. I asked the owner of the server if he could access using ssh from within his LAN, which he could! So openssl is working from within the LAN, but not ouside of the LAN. I access the remote server by using one of [URL] free domain names. I'm aware that this service requires renewal or activity at least once a month and as far as I know this is up to date and working OK.
Is this a router gateway problem? I suspect that port 22 has been blocked, but what could block this port? It's been working well for so many months. As far as I can tell the owner of the server/LAN has not been tampering with the router, so what could be blocking port22? I'm currently accessing the server using vnc4server.
Another really weird thing is that when I access the terminal on the remote server via vnc4server and I ssh back to the server using one of [URL] free domain names, it works! So as I understand ssh is accessing itself by going out of the LAN and back to itself. This would suggest that port22 on the gateway router is working. But when I try to ssh from a pc outside of the LAN, I just get timed out!
* openssl working from within the LAN but not outside of the LAN.
* sftp not working.
* domain name from dyndns.com working and up to date.
* Web server is working OK.
I'm putting a new system in my wife's classroom that I would like to be able to maintain remotely. I won't be able to ssh into the system becuase it is on a highschool network that I have no control over. I have a VPN running at home so I could setup the system to connect to that, but I'm not sure how reliable that is plus I will then probably have to setup two NICs so that the system can also be present on the school network. Seems to add complexity and possible problems.
Are there other options here? I will do the research, I just need a starting place.
I install one server in my system(linux 5.0) and accessing that server through the 127.0.0.1 private ip address(lo).

I'd love a hint or two on the following problem. I've set up iptables rules to forward all connections to port 3306 to a non-standard mysql port on a remote server. This works, except that I need to deal with the loopback interface in a special way and I'm stuck.
Code:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 3306 -j DNAT --to 128.XXX.XXX.XXX:3197
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 128.XXX.XXX.XXX --dport 3197 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
Since locally-generated packets will never hit the PREROUTING rule, you'll need to setup a near identical rule using OUTPUT to make it work. Here is what I've tried:
