To use graphical applications over a SSH tunnel, xauth has to be installed on the server machine. This program is found in the xorg-x11 package (when using openSuSE).
After establishing the SSH tunnel using
ssh -X user@host.tld
you can start any X application (i.e. from the bash…).

T-COM: DNS-Umstellung ohne Ankündigung
Die deutsche Telekom oder T-Com oder T-Online oder T-DSL Business
Irgend ein T-* hat für Ihre Kunden heute nachmittag mal eben schnell die DNS-Server gewechselt – selbstverständlich ohne jemanden vorher zu informieren..
Besonders aufgefallen ist dies bei div. T-DSL Business Kunden. Auf einmal war kein surfen mehr möglich, Mails konnten nicht mehr (über DNS) zugestellt werden, etc.. Stattdessen erhielt man folgende Meldung:
Hinweis zur Abschaltung von DNS-Servern
Wie alle Systeme im Internet müssen auch Server ständig aktualisiert und den Erfordernissen angepasst werden. Der von Ihnen genutzte DNS-Server wird durch leistungsfähigere Systeme ersetzt und steht deshalb nicht mehr zur Verfügung. Normalerweise werden Ihrem Computer / Router die DNS-Server automatisch zugewiesen, so dass die Abschaltung alter DNS-Server keine Auswirkung für Ihr System hat.
....
Überprüfen Sie bitte, ob im Router ein DNS-Server fest eingetragen
wurde. Entfernen Sie ggf. den Eintrag.
Wirklich informativ für Systeme, die den DNS-Server nicht dynamisch beziehen können. Fast lustig ist, dass dies eben hauptsächlich “Business-Kunden” betraf, von denen viele den DNS-Server fest im System hinterlegt haben…
Vielen Dank an atelier89.de/users/dirk – hier wurde man schliesslich doch noch fündig, nachdem die Hotline ausschliesslich auf google verweisen konnte: “suchen Sie mal bei google – da werden Sie das schon finden”.
Wow – das war mal wieder Service .. Danke T-Com :-/
PS:
Die DNS-Server werden anscheinend nach Standort zugewiesen, z.B.:
217.237.148.102 / n-lb-a01.isp.t-ipnet.de – Nuernberg
217.237.151.115 / m-lb-a01.isp.t-ipnet.de – Muenchen
…
PPS:
Die Server sind nur aus den T-Netzen erreichbar; Anfragen aus anderen IP-Bereichen werden abgelehnt.
Howto: Install Win98SE in VMware Server for Linux
Just a short howto for installing Windows 98 SE (R) in VMware Server (1.0.3) for Linux. Although I’m not a big fan of M$, sometimes I have to use it. I.e. my bank does not have any linux software for online banking… whatever.. I had an old Win98SE license at home and that crap of software is quite fast as a virtual machine and as long I don’t have to use too often, stability is not the essential part for me..
Prerequisite: You already have installed VMware Server
Create a new virtual machine and choose Win9x as guest system. As the Win9x cdrom is not bootable, boot with a dos disk and create a partion using fdisk (If you lost your dos disk or you don’t have a floppy drive, you can get an image i.e. at http://www.bootdisk.com).
After rebooting your computer, format drive c: using
format c: /s
Reboot your computer again and ensure that atapi/scsi drivers are loaded so that you can access your cdrom-drive (or image).
Start installation with
Z:\setup.exe /iv
The rest is quite easy – follow the installtion steps in the setup program and install the VMware Tools when your system is up and running.
If you want to enable sound, add a sound device for the virtual machine and install the Sound Blaster PCI 128 (R) driver from the creative labs archive.
Windows File Sync
Although it’s usually not my preferred OS, I had to implement a file synchronisation (synchronization) on a Windows XP (R) system.
The user wanted a real sync between two folders (Hard Disk and USB Drive).
Means: When a file is deleted/created/renamed on the harddisk, it should be deleted/created/renamed on the USB drive, too – and the other way round..
What I found so far:
Allway Sync (nice gui, easy to use, limited to 20.000 files per month [freeware edition])
SyncToy (from Microsoft (R), not tested yet)
Any better ideas?
1time eMail
Do you know this? You need an email account for a registration or for any acknowledgement and you don’t want to post your “real” email address to prevent spam.
Visit http://10minutemail.com/ for an account that exists for 10 minutes (or longer).
Nice tool ; )
Thanks to Konsensmilch for the hint.
German government forbids security tools
Maybe only interesting for german readers and security specialists.
The german government accepted a law that forbids the usage of programs that can be used by hackers and crackers in illegal activities. What they obviously forgot is the simple fact, that you have to use some of these programs to prevent your system from being hijacked. Or what is more probably:
People without any technical knowledge decided once again what is good for us.
Thank you b**ches!
