reverse SSH / SSH over NAT traversal
by Konstantin Svist 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi all, I'm trying to connect to a remote host to do some simple support. The remote host is behind a NAT/firewall and it's not possible to ask the admin to tunnel a port. The remote host has a live person working on it (a linux newbie). The question is, can the remote user type in some command in their terminal to connect (SSH?) to my network - and thereby allow me to get a terminal on the remote machine. I think this is possible with a reverse SSH tunnel - but I don't really want to allow the remote user any access to my system. It's probably possible to set up some chroot or otherwise locked out environment (/bin/nologin ?), but I want to first check if there are any simpler options. A better question: is it possible to establish an SSH connection if both networks have NAT/firewalls that can't be easily controlled? I know some programs (e.g. skype) are able to traverse NATs by various means (UDP). Can some tunnel of this sort be established so that an SSH connection can be established on top of that? Thanks!

Cron emails
by Mike Chambers 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi there, These past few days, it seems my FC7 box (also my mail/http server) have stopped sending me emails from crontab scripts that run. For instance I don't get my nightly epylogs, nor from any of my crond scripts that I have in the cron.x directories. I ran my epylog one manually and it got sent. So it's not like it won't do it at all, just not on it's own. Maybe the scripts aren't getting ran? As in cron is broke or something? I didn't do anything to the box myself, as it only gets updates from updates and testing but that's it. No other programs have been added or removed. Just wondering if a recent update may have contributed as I cdan't remember the last one. Ideas? -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best little town on Earth!"

Where is the overall list and descriptions of F7 packages?
by Stanley A. Klein 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

For FC5 there is a collection of wiki pages that identify and describe all the extras and their versions with links to rpm downloads. It is useful for browsing to see what packages are available and for determining if there is an FC5 rpm for a package that someone is interested in installing. Where is the equivalent for F7?

problem printing.
by Steven W. Orr 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

I have a postscript printer on an FC4 parallel port. It works great. I'm running cups on port 631. [root@saturn cups]# netstat -tulpn | grep :631 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 16044/cupsd tcp 0 0 192.168.0.101:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 16044/cupsd On my new F7 box I configured it to know about the printer using system-config-printer. The device URI is socket://saturn:631 and cups is running. [root@pluto ~]# netstat -tulpn | grep :631 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1793/cupsd tcp 0 0 :::631 :::* LISTEN 1793/cupsd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* 1793/cupsd When I print something on the F7 box, nothing happens. Here's lpstat output: [root@pluto ~]# lpstat hp1320-saturn-3 root 1024 Tue 04 Sep 2007 05:30:13 PM EDT hp1320-saturn-5 root 1024 Tue 04 Sep 2007 09:38:23 PM EDT I'm stumped. Anyone know what I should do or what else I can do to get more info? TIA -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

Mystery of device names
by Timothy Murphy 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

When I attached my laptop with ethernet to an ADSL modem on my travels it chose to use dev10788 as device; I've no idea where it got this name from. I tried to persuade it to use eth0, eth1 or eth2 without success. So it seemed simplest to fit in with its desire, and I added an entry /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-dev10788 , and added "alias dev10788 e100" to /etc/modprobe.conf . This has worked perfectly for several days. I've noticed before that computers often seem to insist on using a particular device, without any particular reason as far as I can see. Eg a WiFi card might work as eth1 but not as eth0, no matter how hard one tries to persuade it. Can some guru explain this to me, please? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Tridev10788nity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

I have Sun Java 1.6.0_02. Think I should switch to the open java that is installed with Fedora by default?
