Clusterssh opens for each connection a xterm and sends a keystroke to each window.

You can also work in only one xterm.

#> apt-get install clusterssh

I use approxd for caching .deb's using port 9999. This port is not reachable by all my hosts,
therefore i use remote port forwarding from ssh.

I can type

#> cssh -o "-R9999:approxy:9999" host1 host2 host3

or create a default config

#> cssh -u > $HOME/.csshrc

You can define different clusters aliases. Each alias consists of some hosts:

clusters = apt mon
apt = host1 host2 host3
ssh_args= -x -o ConnectTimeout=10 -R9999:approxy:9999

now i only type

#> cssh apt


a small patch makes "retile windows" working for me:

I could not run the ubuntu live installcd and also the alternate hang sometimes. After a successful install X freezes. I tried to boot with various boot options. Only with acpi=off my system seams to working but with fan running and no battery info. An older knoppix was running, so i decided to install older ubuntu kernels and saw my system running with a gutsy kernel (2.6.22) but not with a hardy kernel (2.6.24).

What changed inside the kernel?

After searching a lot i found pci=nommconf.

It seams that something in the way pci is configured has changed.

Searching for a rescue system that creates a bootable CD to restore my system i found mkcdrec. Because sometimes things (mkcdrec/debian/ubuntu) changes and i had to test and patch for new mkcdrec versions, so i droped it.

Then i started to make a live CD with debian-live and make my install script by myself. I also dropped it (long boottime and had too much to hack to let it work like i wanted).

Now i had the idea to build my own script that tar's my system and builds a bootable cd. I liked the idea of initramfs to extend it like i will and it boots much faster. The only drawback is that all things are hardcoded and have to be changed for every system i backup. But its only a single script: Read More...

With iptables module recent you can limit the count of tcp connection attempts. In my case i allow only 3 ssh connection attempts per minute. This stops script kiddies doing ssh brute force attacs.

iptables -N synflood
iptables -A synflood -p tcp --dport ssh -m recent --set --name SSH
iptables -A synflood -p tcp --dport ssh -m recent --update \
                     --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 --name SSH -j DROP

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -j synflood
iptables -A FORWARD -i $OUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -j synflood
