So at the ball game today I decided to see how good the iPhone app is that recognized songs and allows you to purchase them. Between each inning they play music and I have wonder what some of the songs are. So, I started up Shazam! and well… Shazam! it recognized every song!
This app rocks!
I received my two yubikey’s today. I quickly found the wordpress plugin and it JUST works after adding the plugin and setting up my account. Now I want to see if I can use this for my unix login and all other forms of authentication.
I was driving back from frostbug, MD to baltimore and searched for a decent radio station. I found a classic rock station. Not a station like we have in california that plays the same 100 songs by the same artists.
The next song turned out to be a song I have not heard in a while. “One of These Days” by Pink Floyd. An awesome song! Then they played other classic rocks and then more obscure great rock songs!
Who needs Cleveland when you have stations like this!
Digging through my old email archives I found this:
Ok, I learned something really cool today from Sun.
How can you tell if a process is chroot’d or not? ps gives you no clue, nor does the kmem.
Here is a neat trick to figure this out. You have to love those kernal hackers!!!
% ps -aef | egrep nscd
root 1022 1 0 09:21:20 ? 0:00 /bb/bin/nscd
% crash -d /dev/mem -n /dev/ksyms
dumpfile = /dev/mem, namelist = /dev/ksyms, outfile = stdout
> p #1022
PROC TABLE SIZE = 30000
SLOT ST PID PPID PGID SID UID PRI NAME FLAGS
47 s 1022 1 1022 1022 0 50 nscd load
> user 47
PER PROCESS USER AREA FOR PROCESS 47
PROCESS MISC:
command: nscd, psargs: /bb/bin/nscd
start: Thu Oct 24 09:21:20 2002
mem: 1fd, type: fork
vnode of current directory: 300041d98e8, vnode of root directory: 300041d98e8,
[rest of output deleted]
Run crash, then “p #pid”, then “user SLOT”
The fact that it lists “vnode of root directory” means it is chroot’d.
pretty cool 😉
For those of you wanting to know how to use ARD through a firewall or NAT bridge:
If you wish to use the Remote Desktop application from behind a NAT router, you will need to set UDP port forwarding for port #3283 to your administration computer. If you wish to access a client computer that is behind a NAT router, you will need to set the router to forward UDP port #3283 to the client computer you wish to access. Note: You will be able to access only that client computer.
