<0> Anyone here that can help me run Steam with Wine? I've almost done it all, but I get an error: "Steam.exe (main exception): Unable to start Steam Engine: *SteamStartEngine(0x7bace81c) failed with error 1: Failed to open logfile C:\Programfiler\Steam\Steam.log" -Got any ida?
<1> Viking667: timidity++?
<2> Pjottey: err, does that file actually exist? And does the user have permission to create/open/append to the file?
<2> Demonen: yup.
<2> Demonen: that's what I use to play MIDI files with. Rocks.
<1> Viking667: is it extemly nonfree or something? I can't find it in Debian, just regular timidity
<1> and that dosn't have a single pat, but relies on freepats
<1> never mind
<1> timidity == timidity++
<2> hrm. Then it's changed since I last installed it, though I remember seeing something about freepat-s.
<1> Viking667: any chance you can tar up your patchfiles and their config file?
<1> and ship it on over? :)
<2> Probably not. It's 9MB when I last installed it, and I'm only on 33k6
<2> upshtream
<1> Viking667: Allrightie then, I'll go hunting elsewhere. Thanks anyway.



<1> "Plays MIDI files without any external MIDI instruments at all" is .. bull****
<2> Demonen: the reason being the midi sounds are made into .WAV that get ***embled together.
<1> That sounds great to me, as My Final Goal is to make the syndicate ingame music play on my MP3 player :D
<2> I badly want a "silent" pc, but I can't shut the hard drives up without stopping dead.
<1> Use rubber separators to separate them from their mounting.
<1> harddives are not noisy, they just vibrate. The case acts to amplify that vibration, unless you get it absorbed.
<2> rubber, hrmm?
<1> Yeah, rubber stoppers or whatever
<2> so maybe the "wrapper" around one of these drives actually works...
<1> works well. Not perfect, but it eliminates alot of it.
<1> later all
<3> port 756 is for?
<1> !google define: "port 756"
<2> Demonen: won't work.
<1> http://www.seifried.org/security/ports/0/756.html <-- Used for .... nothing
<4> google can't find define: "port 756
<1> RelAjO: lsof -i|grep 756
<1> or just `lsof -i :756`
<1> :)
<3> Demonen thanks is rpc.statd
<3> i tough that was something different
<1> That's like saying it's [x?]inetd
<5> okay i need a perl coder thats better than me, any hands?
<1> Redragon^: How good are you, then?
<1> What do you need to match?
<5> its not regex now i need to work with advanced hashes and arrays, specifically sorting them
<5> if i make an array by
<5> push(@headers,{from=>info,date=>info,subject=>info,size=>info});
<5> doing that with multiple pushes, how do i sort by from, date, or subject :)
<1> Sounds like you need _-Ani or lzh_ in #perl :)
<1> Not only do they Really Know Perl, they can also explain it to us mortals.
<1> I need sleep. Later all. *really gone this time*
<6> evening
<6> hmm did _i_ do that
<5> hiya scot
<7> red! feed me!
<2> bye bai...
<8> did anyone load the CentOS 4.2 x86_64 CDs and was able to boot them?
<9> would it hurt to run sshd on port 22 or am i advised to use some high port?
<2> port 22 is established as ssh.
<9> but is it a much bigger threat if i run it on 22 than on an unknown port, or is the difference in safeness not that great?
<10> mmm.. flaming shots..
<2> Niteye: do you have a firewall? Do you need access to sshd from outside your machine?
<9> access from outside yes, firewall is iptables on the same computer
<2> *sigh*
<9> but its private access, not for customers or anything that would need ease etc
<2> have you got the latest sshd/openssl installed?
<9> nup
<9> i need to upgrade my distro for that
<2> Niteye: then you'd better do so.
<9> probably
<11> is mp3 support disabled in later versions of xmms (havent used it for a while) because it wont list or play any ?
<10> if it's the latest for your distro, and your distro is still actively maintained, that should be enough
<2> desmo: there's a FAQ about that. Probably mp3 plugins too.
<2> Fiver: not quite.
<12> Niteye: How about disabling access via p***words -- only allowing ssh keys... brute-force p***word guessing attempts still happen...
<9> but after i did so, would it make a lot of difference in security, wether or not it runs on a standard port or not?



<10> Viking667: no? how so?
<2> Niteye: how many of the people you allow access to know how to use keys instead of p***words?
<11> you know where Viking667 ? I've googled and found nothing
<9> im the only user
<13> Nit: Yes it will make a difference
<2> Niteye: and you want access from outside? I'd be using keys in that case.
<9> ah okay
<2> longword: where I disagree is that nessus tells you it's sshd, even if it's NOT running on standard port.
<12> $ netcat fw 22
<12> SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.2p1 Debian-5
<13> Odds are if they can't follow a few simple steps to enable keys, they probably don't have a decent p***word
<12> Changing the port will have no impact :)
<13> Viki: All the automated brute-force scanners hit port 22
<2> True.
<2> I'm thinking of the smart***es.
<13> If nothing else it'll keep your logs clean
<2> So keys will keep the logs clean.
<9> i love clean logs
<2> Niteye: only problem that you then have to worry about is: do you have direct control of the machines you log into home FROM?
<9> how do u mean direct control?
<12> Would you be ssh-ing from a machine in a internet-cafe, or from your own laptop?
<14> As opposed to through the IR port with a universal remote. :)
<9> putty on school computer
<10> Niteye: the client machine would have to be configured to use the non-standard port as well is the point
<13> Keys will not keep your logs clean
<9> i reckon putty can do that
<2> hrm.
<9> and ftp-data port 20, what do i need to do with this running an ftpd? does it need to be accessible, or is that only used for connections FROM port 20 so i can firewall SYN's to it?
<12> Can you boot the computer off a knoppix, or some such?
<2> Niteye: .... as in, can you boot the school machines off knoppix?
<9> not without getting evicted
<2> ah huh.
<13> Nit: If you're using iptables with connection tracking...
<2> then you have a small problem. That of how to secure your keys. Does the comp have a floppy drive?
<13> Nit: You don't need any specific rules for that port
<9> yes does have a floppy drive
<13> Nit: It'll can covered by a RELATED state rule
<9> ah okay thanks
<10> usb jump drive :) you can even have putty on the usb drive
<13> Nit: But you'll need to load the module ip_conntrack_ftp
<9> its loaded
<15> evening
<2> Niteye: you could point putty at the keys on the floppy then...
<9> will do thankies
<2> Changing the port doesn't make allowances for any firewalling set up in the school, of course.
<2> One place I've heard of, allows nothing in except port 80 traffic. Period.
<9> they only filter UDP and ICMP though at our school
<15> there's a lot that can be done over port 80 :)
<2> granted.
<2> but anything that's ftp gets counted out...
<2> as well as email, etc.
<9> you can tunnel everything trough a proxy tho
<2> not ... everything. and the organisation concerned doesn't run proxies
<9> i reckon FTP would work if you set up a proxy with CONNECT support over port 80
<9> i reckon it would get tricker if you needed to go trough a proxy to go on the internet in the first place
<2> Niteye: mmmm. Try using it to go to an sshd set up on port 80 to start with.
<2> That needs extra glue.
<13> Nit: A proper proxy will severely limit the ports you can CONNECT on
<9> longwork: you can set up a proxy with the settings you need yourself on a box at home or something
<9> longword even
<2> I have a proxy in place on the ISP (i.e. I can't turn it off) that affects any stuff going out/coming in on port 80
<9> you need to go trough a proxy to go on the internet?
<2> no, no. I need to go through a proxy to do web stuff. It's transparent.
<2> i.e. I make query on port 80 to some site, it goes through the ISP's proxy. *sigh*
<9> and they molest your packets?
<2> and occasionally, the proxy will inject advertising from the ISP
<9> now thats just evil
<2> so yeah. I don't get much choice about that, given my financial status.
<2> Other than that, I get full access to the Internet at dialup speeds, so I'm not complaining.
<9> my previous ISP, had traffic limits
<9> blocked incoming ports so you could not run a server
<2> ah huh.
<9> blocked outgoing port 25 , except for their own mailservers
<2> I won't sign on with that sort of ISP. After all, I wish people to surf pages here occasionally.
