Accessing home PC from office (behind firewall)
by Soumen Dass 01 May '05

01 May '05

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, -- Soumen Dass [Registered Linux User # 272639 - Linux nova 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl i686]

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. -abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

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??

ssh/sshd remote login query
by Svaksh 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

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-- _svaksh_

Please go through www.ilug-bom.org.in and send your feedback/suggestion/criticism regarding the new look and functionality of the homepage. ps: If you have lately written some tutorial/howto on gnu/linux then now is the time to get it published.

Please go through > www.ilug-bom.org.in and send your feedback/suggestion/criticism > regarding the new look and functionality of the homepage. 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 _____________________________ www.geocities.com/d_rosh2001 Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your life partneronline.

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!!!
