2009/7/4-9 [Academia/Berkeley/CSUA, Computer/SW/Security] UID:53109 Activity:nil | 7/4 I'm accessing soda by typing ssh -X jhcooper@csua.berkeley.edu
at a Linux prompt. At the soda prompt, I can type "xmessage hello &",
and I get a nice little greeting from myself popping up on my display.
But if I type xterm &, the process runs ok, but nothing appears on
my screen. What am I doing wrong?
\_ Works just fine for me... try turning on SSH debug with -v ?

2009/5/21-29 [Computer/SW/Unix/WindowManager] UID:53028 Activity:nil | 5/21 I would like to implement an auto-logout feature for my gnome users
who happen to not log themselves out, thus causing me, and especially
my supervisor, pain. Please advise, cohorts. I would like the
entire gnome session signed out, not just an individual xterm,
so "export TMOUT=[SECONDS]" in a .bashrc will not work.

2009/4/22-28 [Computer/SW/Security] UID:52894 Activity:nil | 4/22 ok, here's a little networking puzzler. I haven't been able to access
youtube for a couple weeks. Couldn't figure out why. Happened on all
browsers. traceroute did weird stuff and then timed out. Finally I
got so frustrated I setup firefox to ssh tunnel through soda.csua,
which worked great. Then, I kill the ssh proc, quit FF, and now,
I can access youtube just fine from any browser. wtf? any

2009/2/20-25 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:52610 Activity:nil | 2/20 I'm using Cygwin/X on XP. All the X indows (xterm, emacs)
seem to have a keyboard repeat rate and a repeat delay that's different
than the one XP uses for other Windows apps. When I do "mode con
rate=xx delay=yy", it only changes Windows apps but not the X apps.
How do I change the keyboard repeat rate and delay for X? Thanks.

2008/8/5-10 [Computer/Networking] UID:50788 Activity:nil | 8/5 It looks like my company has started blocking HTTPS tunneling.
I used to do this by tunneling SSH through the HTTP/HTTPS proxy
server, but this seems to have stopped working. Does anyone know
how the implementation of tunneling detection works, and whether
there are widely available implementations? We run a bunch of MS
stuff, so I imagine we're running an MS proxy server or something.

2007/8/10-13 [Computer/SW/OS/Linux] UID:47575 Activity:nil | 8/9 My man pages are displaying incorrectly with \fBupdate\fR
instead of displaying update in bold or whatever. Any ideas why?
It happens on soda as well as other debian boxes I have.
It happend using Terminal and xterm on my MacBook.
\_ export TERM=vt100
\_ I tried that. it doesn't make a difference.

don't work anymore. Is it possible to make them work under screen?
\_ They'll sort of work, but not really. I mean you may have more than
one window. Just use screen's builtin scrollback; it's better
anyway (you can have one per window, tens of thousands of lines and
best of all it's searchable) Just hit ^A-Escape then pretty much

expert opinions. --ricky
* Securing a machine that allows interactive logins by users
