| AJH101 | hi i am trying to delete the contents of the hidden trash file on a ntfs external hd. Any ideas? No luck so far! | 07:24 |
|---|---|---|
| Snicksie | AJH101, doesnt it work when you just open the 'regular' trash and choose 'empty trash' there? | 07:26 |
| AJH101 | no - and when i disconnect the hd the trash can is empty | 07:29 |
| AJH101 | there is about 8Gb to clear! | 07:30 |
| philipballew | AJH101, cd into the directory and rm -rf the directory the trash is in | 07:30 |
| geirha | Is it mounted by gnome, or do you have an entry for it in /etc/fstab? | 07:31 |

| bobweaver | Hello there is there anyone herre that could talk to me about some quesions that I have with servers? the first being how the /ect/hosts works also how apache makes new sites ? | 17:36 |
| bobweaver | is apache a scripting lang in its self ? | 17:36 |
| holstein | bobweaver: this is actually not a bad start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file) | 17:39 |
| bobweaver | thanks holstein | 17:39 |
| holstein | from what i understand, and have experienced and used, you can use host names instead of IP's, and thats one way to do it... or a local DNS server, like the one that just works for me with ddwrt | 17:39 |
| holstein | note "the hosts file represents an attack vector for malicious software" | 17:40 |
| bobweaver | cool firmware rocks for routers | 17:40 |
| bobweaver | my isp uses mac address filtering | 17:40 |
| bobweaver | cant useddwrt | 17:40 |
| holstein | if i can access that file, i could redirect your traffic maliciously... route you somewhere else | 17:40 |
| bobweaver | holstein: I see | 17:41 |
| holstein | bobweaver: your isp must have given you a router already | 17:41 |
| bobweaver | yes sir | 17:41 |
| bobweaver | sir ?> | 17:41 |
| bobweaver | sorry | 17:41 |
| bobweaver | so if I want sites like site1.com site2.com ect | 17:42 |
| holstein | you could step down to them providing you only a modem, then use the router of your choice, or not | 17:42 |
| bobweaver | I mod /ect/hosts and 127.0.0.1 site1.com ect ? | 17:42 |
| holstein | i have blocked facebook on a permachine basis using the hosts file | 17:42 |
| bobweaver | holstein: this is whgat I have 4 servers and a ipcop box | 17:43 |
| bobweaver | what * | 17:43 |
| bobweaver | the networks being filtered | 17:43 |
| bobweaver | wirelesss (blue) servers (orange) home (green ) | 17:44 |
| holstein | bobweaver: if you server is host name B0B (you@B0B) and its at 192.168.0.99... you can have it redirect so locally you can refer to it as B0B instead of 192.168.0.99 | 17:44 |
| bobweaver | Wow that is what I wanted to hear !! | 17:44 |
| holstein | you can run a local DNS server | 17:45 |
| bobweaver | make one of the 4 into a dns server ? | 17:45 |
| holstein | bobweaver: its your network... depends on your needs | 17:46 |
| holstein | i typically have no trouble refering to IP's locally either | 17:46 |
| bobweaver | holstein: I am trying to train my self as I am real poor and can not afford school again | 17:46 |
| bobweaver | so thanks for your help | 17:47 |
| bobweaver | I would like to get into the lamp feild | 17:47 |
| holstein | bobweaver: i say, set up some test scanarios then.. maybe virtualize the whole scenario in virtualbox... you can save snapshots, break it... fix it, reset.. whatever | 17:47 |
| bobweaver | holstein: yes that is a great idea | 17:47 |
| holstein | also, check out the turnkey appliances.. i found them very educational, and easy to run live... http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ | 17:48 |
| bobweaver | as of now I have been using how to make a perfect server from howtoforge works but I am not learning why I am installing apache | 17:48 |
| bobweaver | thanks for the link | 17:49 |
| holstein | i found for my needs, i really dont need any of it... i would get by with an ftp server... but i use apache to host files for folks that connecting to an ftp site would freak out | 17:50 |
| bobweaver | so after thinking about what you just said about "my needs " I want one server to be for crontabs rsync (local home computers and random stuff) and too for hosting sites one for a dns server | 17:50 |
| holstein | i built a drupal instance on an old PPC machine just to see it all work | 17:51 |
| bobweaver | I was thinking gnuPanel for the too site hosters | 17:52 |
| bobweaver | hoster lol | 17:52 |
| bobweaver | with sqril and nygix | 17:52 |
| bobweaver | but I have to rap my head around dns and how to make that all work | 17:53 |
| holstein | a good general rule that i agree with.. less is more... if you dont need a panel, dont install one.. if you dont need mysql.. etc... no reason to introduce points of failure or security issues | 17:53 |
| bobweaver | that and also permissions of var/www ^^^ you are right about "extra things " | 17:53 |
| holstein | i say, run it live, and local.. test for yourself... see what can be exploited and why | 17:54 |
| bobweaver | time too look at openvas ? | 17:54 |
| bobweaver | w3af | 17:54 |
| holstein | also, asking professionals, or listening to things like the techsnap poscast | 17:55 |
| holstein | podcast* | 17:55 |
| bobweaver | It is all just files right ? that call to each other ? | 17:55 |
| holstein | http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/show/techsnap/ | 17:56 |
| bobweaver | are mods in apache linkke in ubutnu ? like they are drivers ? | 17:56 |
| bobweaver | That is awsome !!! thanks | 17:57 |
| bobweaver | the link ^^ | 17:57 |
| holstein | havent used openvas | 17:57 |
| bobweaver | it works umm last time I use openvas and nessus nessus find 7 openvaas 5 | 17:59 |
| bobweaver | so the host name that I name my server. where can I find info on whgat that effects ? | 18:00 |
| bobweaver | like you where talking about the how to make local name insead of local ip | 18:00 |
| holstein | you chose hostname at install... you open a terminal and it will say.. you@whatever | 18:02 |
