Hi list,
I've been looking for a way to access my home machine from my office but
to no avail. They have ftp blocked, internet access is through a windoze
proxy server (any more than three login attempts & it locks my account
so no experimenting) & no access to outside world via telnet/ssh (u see
even ping google.com fails :( )
Anybody has a way out (or in ;) ) I wouldn't mind reading the manpage if
I knew which :)
Regards,
--

Ok, lets try to tackle this.
assumption:
Your home machine is always ON and you know the ip address either direct or via
dyndns or equivalent.
question
who will shut your which account if you try to login 3 times where?
Possibility:
Can you setup a VPN at home? i.e. the server is home and you install/configure a
client at work? would that work?
not that you would break any rules, but you could.

How would he be able to tunnel his traffic through the
windows proxy server. He, I assume is on a private IP
using the proxy server to access the internet?
He probably needs something like gotomypc.com software
equivalent where he can remotely access his PC through
his web browser. tarantella maybe??

hi all,
i was trying to implement vnc on a remote server via ssh.
suppose a normal non-root account is called "user1" and assume that
via sudo, i want to allow that user to run any command as user root
without specifying a password each time he logs in for running
selected programs.
So, in that file, i added added:
user1 ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL
I know this does not sound good for security , so hence my post to you
all ....
what are the security risks and what are the precautions to be taken ?
I want to restrict a user (or any number of users) to only run certain
applications:
Any idea/input is welcome
thanks for reading--

Uses tables. I would suggest redesigning it to follow W3C accessibility
guidelines and standards.
Also, not sure what was wrong with the old site. In the new site, the
search results page is completely different from the rest of the site,
as also the listinfo page. In the old site everything had a uniform
template.
I did not go through the website completely, but I find the homepage much better than the previous.
>>>>"In the old site everything had a uniform template."
The user list or Member list page was different from the original page template in the earlier website and I think that is now based on the homepage template.
Good Work sir! Please keep it uptodate and I will be ready to help to keep it uptodate. Please let me know if there is any thing I cud do for keeping interest of readers of the website on the page.
I wud also like to know, who all can attend the meeting of ILUG-BOM held at different locations in Mumbai. I am student doing, BSc (I.T.). Can I attend?
Thankyou
Regards to all the members of ILUG-BOM

Rohit, Very true.. I can see how "little noise" you have added to this list by sending this mail. ;-) Specially for the people who have to pay for their internet connection. But I guess you thought it was necessary, just like me to voice their opinion and send this mail..
After all we believe in free speech.. right..
Sorry guys no free beer for the mistake commited!!!

Keith
