[07:24] hi i am trying to delete the contents of the hidden trash file on a ntfs external hd. Any ideas? No luck so far! [07:26] AJH101, doesnt it work when you just open the 'regular' trash and choose 'empty trash' there? [07:29] no - and when i disconnect the hd the trash can is empty [07:30] there is about 8Gb to clear! [07:30] AJH101, cd into the directory and rm -rf the directory the trash is in [07:31] Is it mounted by gnome, or do you have an entry for it in /etc/fstab? === OutOfControl is now known as benonsoftware [10:41] Hello.

[17:36] is apache a scripting lang in its self ? [17:39] bobweaver: this is actually not a bad start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file) [17:39] thanks holstein [17:39] 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 [17:40] note "the hosts file represents an attack vector for malicious software" [17:40] cool firmware rocks for routers [17:40] my isp uses mac address filtering [17:40] cant useddwrt [17:40] if i can access that file, i could redirect your traffic maliciously... route you somewhere else [17:41] holstein: I see [17:41] bobweaver: your isp must have given you a router already [17:41] yes sir [17:41] sir ?> [17:41] sorry [17:42] so if I want sites like site1.com site2.com ect [17:42] you could step down to them providing you only a modem, then use the router of your choice, or not [17:42] I mod /ect/hosts and 127.0.0.1 site1.com ect ? [17:42] i have blocked facebook on a permachine basis using the hosts file [17:43] holstein: this is whgat I have 4 servers and a ipcop box [17:43] what * [17:43] the networks being filtered [17:44] wirelesss (blue) servers (orange) home (green ) [17:44] 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] Wow that is what I wanted to hear !! [17:45] you can run a local DNS server [17:45] make one of the 4 into a dns server ? [17:46] bobweaver: its your network... depends on your needs [17:46] i typically have no trouble refering to IP's locally either [17:46] holstein: I am trying to train my self as I am real poor and can not afford school again [17:47] so thanks for your help [17:47] I would like to get into the lamp feild [17:47] 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] holstein: yes that is a great idea [17:48] also, check out the turnkey appliances.. i found them very educational, and easy to run live... http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ [17:48] 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 [17:49] thanks for the link [17:50] 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] 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 [17:51] i built a drupal instance on an old PPC machine just to see it all work [17:52] I was thinking gnuPanel for the too site hosters [17:52] hoster lol [17:52] with sqril and nygix [17:53] but I have to rap my head around dns and how to make that all work [17:53] 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] that and also permissions of var/www ^^^ you are right about "extra things " [17:54] i say, run it live, and local.. test for yourself... see what can be exploited and why [17:54] time too look at openvas ? [17:54] w3af [17:55] also, asking professionals, or listening to things like the techsnap poscast [17:55] podcast* [17:55] It is all just files right ? that call to each other ? [17:56] http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/show/techsnap/ [17:56] are mods in apache linkke in ubutnu ? like they are drivers ? [17:57] That is awsome !!! thanks [17:57] the link ^^ [17:57] havent used openvas [17:59] it works umm last time I use openvas and nessus nessus find 7 openvaas 5 [18:00] so the host name that I name my server. where can I find info on whgat that effects ? [18:00] like you where talking about the how to make local name insead of local ip [18:02] you chose hostname at install... you open a terminal and it will say.. you@whatever === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk === OutOfControl is now known as benonsoftware [22:08] hey [22:13] Hi [22:13] Hello === benonsoftware is now known as OutOfControl === OutOfControl is now known as benonsoftware
