1/21    I'm trying to set up Thunderbird at with with gmail via IMAP.
        There is a proxy at work such that if I want to view a web page
        using Firefox or IE, it prompts me for my network login and
        password before it lets me onto the web.  When I try to get my mail
        in Thunderbird, it won't connect to the server.  I already tried
        setting the config option to tell it the proxy server address and
        port number.  But it still won't connect.  What can I do to get this
        to work, or is it possible that they have it set up at work that no
        matter what I do, it won't work?
        \_ It is likely that your firewall doesn't allow outbound traffic
           on the IMAP ports.  You might be able to SSH tunnel it from
           soda.  -tom
           \_ ssh is also blocked at work.  I guess I'm out of luck? -op
              \_ Try corkscrew.  http://www.agroman.net/corkscrew
                 You'll need to run a sshd on port 443 in most cases, though.
                 \_ Getting a router that can run dd-wrt or some other
                    firmware is a relatively easy way to get the sshd
                    if you don't want to leave your computer on all day.
              \_ Maybe this is a sign you should quit your job at the Kremlin.

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

9/24    How come changing my shell using ldapmodify (chsh doesn't work) doesn't
        work either? ldapsearch and getent show the new shell but I still get
        the old shell on login.
        \_ Scratch that, it magically took my new shell now. WTF?

10/1    I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
        Will this make me a hozer?
        \_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
           I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
           anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
           but our login server is not.

7/7     what happened to our web presence? http://www.csua.berkeley.edu
        not working
    \_ That would be because we've yet to set them up afaik. Steven *does* have
    a job after all. The idea is that we want a separate computer mounting the
    web directories, so that if an exploit compromises the webserver, the shell
    server (soda) itself will be insulated from the attack.

Corkscrew is a tool for tunneling SSH through HTTP proxies. Corkscrew has been compiled on : * AIX * HPUX * Solaris * FreeBSD * OpenBSD * NetBSD * Linux * Win32 (Cygwin) * Mac OS X Corkscrew has been tested with the following HTTP proxies : * Gauntlet * CacheFlow * JunkBuster * Squid * Apache's mod_proxy Please email me if you get it to work with another proxy. Corkscrew has been tested against several proxies requiring HTTP authentication. Several flaws exist as only basic authentication is currently supported. NTLM authentication will most likely never be supported. Please read the documentation as some changes have been made to command line options again. Version 15 introduces several performance bugfixes and will also run on Win32 with Cygwin.
