Comment on Nagios 2.x Plugin check_mrtgtraf buggy? by Biscui

I notice in the output, the performance data has “in=” for both the incoming and outgoing rates.
looks to be around line 200

fperfdata(“in”, adjusted_incoming_rate, incoming_speed_rating,
(int)incoming_warning_threshold, incoming_warning_threshold,
(int)incoming_critical_threshold, incoming_critical_threshold,
TRUE, 0, FALSE, 0),
fperfdata(“in”, adjusted_outgoing_rate, outgoing_speed_rating,
(int)outgoing_warning_threshold, outgoing_warning_threshold,
(int)outgoing_critical_threshold, outgoing_critical_threshold,
TRUE, 0, FALSE, 0));

The second fperfdata should have “in” changed to “out”

Comment on More OpenSource virtualization by pille

for version 1.4 of PVE there’s a port for 32bit-CPUs.
obviously those CPUs don’t support KVM, but at least you can run OpenVZ-containers on your old hosts and join them in the cluster.

Comment on Prevent SSH Brute Force attacks by mm

i do this with denyhosts (http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/) since, in case of emergency, and if you need like more than 3 terminal_sessions to a server (this happens sometimes, but it happens) and you dont think about your limit then … shitty

denyhosts checks auth.log, detects the ips with false ssh_pw/user-ceonnections and blocks these ips (very simple, via /etc/hosts.deny) for ssh for XXX days/weeks/months and so on.

i run it on differenmt machines for years now, no problems

hi there,

just tested this script with postfix on an old suse 10.2 (sic!); worked so far
except some minor changes:

line:55 >= this works only with the trailing |

## delete the last character (the last | isn’t wanted)
#SEARCH=`echo $e | sed ’s/.$//’`

i also made some modificatiosn for the filters to fit for postfix/rbl_rejects:

# ALL accepted mails
# might be too: “delivered to mailbox”
ACCEPTED=`echo “$CONTENT” | grep ” status=sent ” | wc -l`
#
# ALL blocked mails
REJECTED=`echo “$CONTENT” | grep ” reject:” | wc -l`

nice script, though

Hola tom! (hi)
thanks for the howto, it worked like a charm!
greetings from Argentina! (it looks like this particular scanner model is more popular in South America than in Europe.
Danke!

Very good, and quite simple/clean to read.

A job well done!
