So, I set up the big server machine with Fedora Core 3 (which, as previously explained, was a pain in the ass), and got it configured to accept incomming SSH. I'm working on getting it to properly inform no-ip of its ip address, but I'm satisfied with the current stage of working order. During this whole process I actually learned something pretty interesting about the security of linux: To prevent people from producing root equivilent users, you cannot use the "useradd" function while under su, you have to be root. This also applies to things like the ifconfig command. It's a really clever feature, but it can be a bit of a nusience... In light of the fact that I'm still exaughsted from general just existing through this week, you get a song and a heartening article about the general agreement of the public that environmental laws are necessary and that we're willing to pay some extra taxes to do it.
Warning! Very High quality scan! Big file!
Green in gridlock?
And due to the fact that I really haven't been posting too much this week, here a song to make you all smile:
Thanks for posting that song. It's fuggin' awesome.
