To those who are in hurry or in a network environment that dont allow ssh connection, you can use web-based SSH client to access your computer, server instantly.

here is the screenshot

https://sshweb.homeunix.org/

1. Install Bind9:

sudo apt-get install bind9

2. Copy these files:


# cp /etc/bind/db.local /etc/bind/piju.fakap.server
# cp /etc/bind/db.127 /etc/bind/piju.fakap.254
# cp /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones /etc/bind/named.conf.server


3. Edit piju.fakap.server file:


;

mail IN A 192.168.1.1


4. Edit file piju.fakap.254:


;

2 IN PTR mail.piju.fakap.net.


5. Edit named.conf.server:


// prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone “.” {
type hint;
file “/etc/bind/db.root”;
};
// be authoritative for the localhost forward and reverse zones, and for
// broadcast zones as per RFC 1912
zone “localhost” {
type master;
file “/etc/bind/db.local”;
};
zone “127.in-addr.arpa” {
type master;
file “/etc/bind/db.127″;
};
zone “piju.fakap.net” {
type master;
file “/etc/bind/piju.fakap.server”;
};
zone “2.in-addr.arpa” {
type master;
file “/etc/bind/piju.fakap.254″;
};


6. Edit named.conf:

include “/etc/bind/named.conf.options”;
include “/etc/bind/named.conf.local”;
include “/etc/bind/named.conf.server”;


7. Value on /etc/resolv.conf:

search piju.fakap.net
nameserver 192.168.1.1

on Gentoo linux, got ssh server installed.

Recently, i was thinking which one is the best torrent client for my personal use. then i choose deluge.

install using apt-get on ubuntu/debian/debian-based.

$sudo apt-get install deluge
$sudo apt-get install deluge-webui

i need startup files for deluge, then create /etc/default/deluge-daemon and add this

# Configuration for /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon

# The init.d script will only run if this variable non-empty.
DELUGED_USER=”CHANGEME” # !!!CHANGE THIS!!!!

# Should we run at startup?
RUN_AT_STARTUP=”YES”

then, create /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon

#!/bin/sh

:

make it executable and start on boot,

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon
sudo update-rc.d deluge-daemon defaults
sudo /etc/init.d/deluge-daemon start

webui address is http://localhost:8112 and the default password is deluge

Great news,

To all Malaysian Ubuntu Linux users, now we have our own medibuntu mirror.

Hope this local mirror helps to decrease Malaysia’s internet traffic to the outside.

MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition of what is important and what not. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like ‘watch’ and such.
