<0> hallo, is there someone expert in VPN?
<1> hi, a long time ago I locked down my system and closed a lot of ports on my system. I want to open a port, how do I do this? I can't remember which file
<2> no file
<2> iptables
<1> i am pretty sure I never played with the iptables...
<2> iptables -L -n
<2> what distro are you on ?
<1> 9
<1> ya, no entries in iptables
<2> redhat 9 ?
<1> ya
<2> omg
<2> you crazy ?
<1> how do I get the server to listen to a new port?
<1> lol
<2> upgrade to fc4
<1> I don't have physical access to my server anymore... i sent it away
<2> and its a server too ...omg
<1> is it a hard/easy upgrade remote?
<2> ehhh
<2> i wouldnt do a remote upgrade
<1> exactly
<1> thats why i didnt
<2> it is possible to do mind
<2> you have no support whatsoever on redhat 9
<2> means no packages etc..
<3> i wouldn't do an upgrade from rh9 to fc4 if the box was sitting next to me
<3> :)
<2> i very very strongly recommend you upgrade
<2> yeh
<2> me neither
<1> the server is stable the way it is tho, and I have no access to it... so I never bothered
<2> id always do a frsh install due ot the fact that it might be sploited
<2> tonyk, you miss the point
<2> its not stability
<2> its secuirty
<1> i am the fedoralegacy or whatever
<1> but ya I know
<2> what ?
<1> security wise, its better to upgrade
<2> any stupid kid could sploit your box
<3> there are TONS of exploits for rh9...
<3> and the bad part is that they aren't going to be patched because rh no longer supports the OS
<2> even legacy sites no longer support rh9
<2> or even fc1
<2> ohh i lied
<3> :o
<2> but that package update list looks flakey
<2> magikman, did ya ever use familiar linux ?
<3> nope
<3> i am a BSD guy
<2> god...am i the only non-lamer in help chans hahah
<2> j/k mate
<2> ;-p
<3> :)
<2> bah that weblogic dude is doing my head in
<2> 4am ;-|
<4> im new to linux and i was wondering in Terminal it says Name@localhost can you change the localhost bit to something else or would that screw up yur connection ?
<5> use netconfig
<4> but can you change it to say name@whatever.ichanged.it Or would that **** stuff up ?
<3> just make sure it isn't an actual external hostname
<3> this computer is: vpr.server.local
<2> you can set the hostname to whatever you like...but magikman is right
<2> not good to use a proppa dns name
<4> ahh so prolly a smart idea to use whatever.local
<2> well
<2> it depends if ya wanna do hostname lookups
<2> then you would prolly have to add something into the boxes hosts file
<6> hahaha
<6> running firefox
<6> their quality feedback agent just poped up
<6> i canceled it and it crashed firefox
<2> because if ya use a non resolvable hostname on ya box or it resolves elsewhere that wouldnt be smart
<2> [M]ax, thats why I disbale it
<6> i think thats really smart
<4> is there anyway to set it up Like i own a dns name to killersinstinct.com to set it up and point it to my computer ?
<2> sure
<4> if so you have anywhere i could read about it ?
<2> if ya have a public ip to go with it
<2> hmmm
<2> no I havent actually
<2> i learn dns crap byu doing it bit by bit
<4> i have the domain pointed to my computer already but It doesnt go out that way
<2> learnt
<2> god i cant type anymore
<2> ****ing late
<4> so using netconfig or whatever and setting my new hostaname to killersinstinct.com would work out ok ?
<2> i wonder how long it will take to compile a new kernel on my pda lol
<4> i just dont wanna **** anything up and screw myself
<2> hostnames dont **** ****
<2> ips do
<2> worst thing that will happen is it wont resolve
<2> where are ya dns servers ?
<4> there hosted on yahoo
<2> yahoo ?!?!
<2> lol
<4> 2.99 a year its cost effective
<4> (:0P
<2> you got access ?
<4> yea
<2> to edit dns records ?
<4> yeaup
<2> got a stic ip ?
<4> yup
<2> and got reverse dns access ?
<2> actually you wont need reverse
<2> k set an a record to poijt to your ip
<4> it already is
<4> cs.killersinstinct.com points to this computer
<2> k then do the hostname
<4> and killersinstinct.com points to my webhost
<2> k
<2> beware you wont be able to send email and ****
<2> unless ya have a reverse dns record
<2> to be set at your isp side...
<2> due to ip ownership
<4> yea they dont like doing that
<4> lol
<4> ive tried like 2 years ago
<2> most of the time ..the techies cant set it
<2> hehe
<2> well ..call center wannabe techies
<4> i had this problem where i upgraded to 8/mbs And it was all set and did speed test and they wouldnt belive me it was the same and didnt care i talked to 6 different peopke and they all said it was fine finally they had to send a guy out
<4> and he didnt know what was wrong
<4> they tried to screw me
<4> but anyway
<4> netconfig is that available to fedora core 4 ?
<2> yes
<2> nevr used it...never will
<4> usually that would be in sbin and it dont seem to be there
<2> hehe
<4> right ?
<2> ehh
<4> im sorry im new to this
<2> are you root ?
<5> its in /sbin on slack
<2> and if yes did you su to root ?
<2> scott281, it aint on fedora
<4> yea i am
<5> sad
<2> you are root ?
<4> yea and i get
<2> and you didnt su to root ?
<4> [root@localhost /]# cd sbin
<4> [root@localhost sbin]# netconfig
<4> -bash: netconfig: command not found
<4> [root@localhost sbin]# ./netconfig
