Need help understanding iptables.
tcp dpt:ssh state NEW recent: SET name: SSH side: source
tcp dpt:ssh state NEW recent: UPDATE seconds: 90 hit_count: 4 TTL-Match
name: SSH side: source
should reduce brute force attack to 4 hits in 90 seconds but last -d
reports hundreds of hits per ip all within a second, it then changes ip
and starts again.
I've not played with iptables until a week ago.
I've read up on the ubuntu, centos and fedora iptables info but still
the problem.
Can someone please point me in a direction to stop attacks from ip
addresses after a couple of attempts.
Many thanks
Roger
Anyone like to critique this script for grammatical efficiency and
correctness? In particular the line indicated. I'm guessing I can do
command substitution better than this.
title="test"
ls -1 *.mp3 > mp3.txt
while read filename
do
echo $filename
song=$title${filename:5:4}
echo $song
id3ed -isq "`echo $filename`"
id3ed -q -s "`echo $song`" "`echo $filename`" <----
id3ed -isq "`echo $filename`"
done < mp3.txt
Hi all,
I'm looking at this as a replacement laptop.
http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=6106&review=lenovo+thinkpa…
Does anyone have any experience of running Linux on it?
Is there support for VT-x in the bios.
I am hoping to configure it as Linux with Windows 7 64 running in Virtual Box.
Regards
Stripes
I'm running Ubuntu11.10 and 3 days ago it started a problem I've not
seen before.
For some reason it starts Nautilus out of the blue, I cannot
intentionally repeat the problem and it seems to not be attributable to
starting any particular application.
It continues to open up new blank Nautilus windows every second or two
until there about 300 and more open randomly placed on the desktop then
the computer stalls and has to be shut down, left off for a few seconds
and cold booted.
ps aux shows long lists of nautius instances but shutting some down with
kill restarts more.
Got me very puzzled.
Need help quick please
thanks in advance
Roger

Thinkpads are generally good for what they are, but modern laptops suck
because they seem to be designed to compete with desktop systems - and the
Thinkpad W series seems to be one of the worst in this regard.
Modern laptops can't run on your lap because they either have passive cooling
in the base through a metal shell (like Macs) or cooling vents (like
Thinkpads). They also can't run at high speed when closed (so you can't close
the lid after starting a big compile) because the keyboard is used as part of
the system cooling.
The one you are looking at has an NVidia graphics controller which means it
will either be slow or have a binary-only kernel module. I expect that KVM
will work as it works on my Thinkpad T61 and I haven't heard reports of
regressions in such things. I haven't tried running Windows under KVM though.

I couldn't google for this. How do I preserve line breaks when
assigning the result of something to a variable?
aspiers@cape:~/tmp/horror$ ls -1
file1
file2
file3
aspiers@cape:~/tmp/horror$ echo -e $(ls -1)
file1 file2 file3
There must be something better than this:
aspiers@cape:~/tmp/horror$ echo -e $(ls -1| awk '{print $0,"\\n"}')
file1
file2
file3

I have forgotten the process to copy the Fedora iso to dvd.
CD/DVD Creator:
Write to Disc offers a choice of <Burn as File> and <Burn Contents>
Which of these is the correct choice to make a bootable Fedora 16 dvd
that I can install from?
Thanks
Roger
Several of my relatives use KDE as their desktop environment on
Debian/Squeeze, now only one system I am responsible for is i386 and the rest
are all AMD64.
Apart from one system they all work fine. The problem system is an AMD64
system with a single SATA disk that has a KDE pause periodically, kmail seems
to be the most common culprit for triggering it. When it happens all KDE
stuff stops working for a while, often logging out (by killing the session
from another VT) is the only way to solve it.
There are multiple users on that system who have the same problem, so it seems
to be a system issue not an issue of one user with messed up KDE
configuration.
smartctl doesn't report any problems and other disk dependent stuff works OK
when KDE isn't responding. Also when it happens there are no D state
processes. So it seems that the hard drive is not responsible.
Any ideas as to what I should look at to investigate this issue? Switching to
GNOME is not a viable option. But as a test I might try running kmail after
logging in to a GNOME session next time I visit them.
Also the system is online 24*7 and has dynamic DNS configured so I can login
at any time. So tests that I can do by reading log files will be preferred to
tests that require doing something with the keyboard and mouse.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
