I use apticron (http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/apticron). It runs a daily cronjob that does a apt-get update and then emails you if there are any upgrades available. The email includes the recent changeling entries. -Steve On 15 Dec 2012, at 21:28, Philip Ashmore wrote: > Hi there. > >

They're just configuration settings. You can either set them from the command line using the sysctl commands it gives you, or create a /etc/sysctl.d/something.conf file that contains: net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 2 net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 2 net.ipv4.conf.default.log_martians = 1

Commented out it will mean it'll use the default, which is yes (see 'man sshd_config') You only need to uncomment it if you want to change it to no. Although it can also make your config more explicit by just looking at the file. -Steve On 3 March 2011 03:59, Jason Hsu wrote: > The value can b

I just upgraded the linux kernel package on a Lenny server and then ran checkrestart. It reported a few services that needed restarting because the openssl package had also been updated, but it didn't say anything about the fact that I was running an earlier kernel than the one installed. Are ther

You can use dd via ssh if you wish. I think the command would be: dd if=/dev/sda1 | ssh user@host "dd of=/path/to/sda1.img" You might also want to enable SSH compression, or pipe it via gzip+gunzip. Which is better (dd+ssh/scp) depends on your setup. dd copies the entire disk bit for bit, even un
