[07:24] <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! |
|
[07:26] <Snicksie> AJH101, doesnt it work when you just open the 'regular' trash and choose 'empty trash' there? |
|
[07:29] <AJH101> no - and when i disconnect the hd the trash can is empty |
|
[07:30] <AJH101> there is about 8Gb to clear! |
|
[07:30] <philipballew> AJH101, cd into the directory and rm -rf the directory the trash is in |
|
[07:31] <geirha> Is it mounted by gnome, or do you have an entry for it in /etc/fstab? |

[17:36] <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 ? |
|
[17:39] <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 |
|
[17:40] <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 |
|
[17:41] <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 |
|
[17:42] <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 |
|
[17:43] <bobweaver> holstein: this is whgat I have 4 servers and a ipcop box |
|
[17:43] <bobweaver> what * |
|
[17:43] <bobweaver> the networks being filtered |
|
[17:44] <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 !! |
|
[17:45] <holstein> you can run a local DNS server |
|
[17:45] <bobweaver> make one of the 4 into a dns server ? |
|
[17:46] <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 |
|
[17:47] <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 |
|
[17:48] <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 |
|
[17:49] <bobweaver> thanks for the link |
|
[17:50] <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 |
|
[17:51] <holstein> i built a drupal instance on an old PPC machine just to see it all work |
|
[17:52] <bobweaver> I was thinking gnuPanel for the too site hosters |
|
[17:52] <bobweaver> hoster lol |
|
[17:52] <bobweaver> with sqril and nygix |
|
[17:53] <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 " |
|
[17:54] <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 |
|
[17:55] <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 ? |
|
[17:56] <holstein> http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/show/techsnap/ |
|
[17:56] <bobweaver> are mods in apache linkke in ubutnu ? like they are drivers ? |
|
[17:57] <bobweaver> That is awsome !!! thanks |
|
[17:57] <bobweaver> the link ^^ |
|
[17:57] <holstein> havent used openvas |
|
[17:59] <bobweaver> it works umm last time I use openvas and nessus nessus find 7 openvaas 5 |
|
[18:00] <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 |
|
[18:02] <holstein> you chose hostname at install... you open a terminal and it will say.. you@whatever |
