Remote Shell
by Benicio Miguel Sanchez Fuentes 29 Sep '98

29 Sep '98

I need to give remote shell access to a user in a server (an HP-9000 k410 running HP-UX 10.10) conected to mine through a 3Com router, I have done some investigation and what I have found is that I have to open port 514 for tcp, for some reason this did not work, so I opened (temporarily of course) all the ports on the router....and it worked, but I don´t want to leave it like that, Does anyone now what port(s) I need to leave open to alow the remote shells?. Is there any configuration needed other than the equiv.hosts and (or) the .rhosts files ? Thanks in advance for your answers Benicio Sanchez Network Operations Engineer Alestra

WEATHER: update Puerto Rico/South Florida
by Sean Donelan 29 Sep '98

29 Sep '98

300 dead so far (200 Dominican Republic, 87 Haiti, others spread out over several different islands) Once again, my information is limited to where DRA has customers. So I don't know about other areas. South Florida: Light to moderate damage. Power outage in the keys and spot outages in south Florida. Most telephone and Internet service continued to function. Puerto Rico: Latest word I have from people on the island, is they are still without telephone, electricity or water. At least 50% of the telephone poles on the island have been knocked down. I don't have word specifically about the satellite teleport in Puerto Rico. Currently emergency officials are working on restoring utility service to these facilities, in this order 1. Emergency services, hospitals, designated shelters 2. Water and sewerage plants 3. Telephone and other communication services Estimates are it will be Monday before priority services have been restored. Major urban areas by the end of next week (Oct 2). Other News: Does anyone have any more information about Worldcom's outage last night in Mississippi? The only information we received was it involved hazardous materials. BTW, last Friday I attended a briefing at the Department of Commerce about the process the US Government is embarking on to work on a "private-public" partnership with the "Information and Communications" sector as part of their Critical Infrastructure Assurance Program. I didn't recognize anyone from a "post cold war" company in attendence. Essentially no Internet backbone representation, with maybe the possible exception of AT&T. Not that anyone missed anything. I wonder what the press thought of the briefing. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

Benicio, The Firewall services can be configured to log in varying degrees of detail , so you should be able to see the ports and policies following which it is denied. A sample of such a syslog would look like:: Aug 19 09:55:13 3ComFirewall-Router #206 Sun Aug 19 08:56:28 1998 R.R.R.1 FireWall "Rx !5 X.X.X.69(33004)->Y.Y.Y.11(DNS) UDP Deny SrcSpoof" IPs::R-Firewall router X-Source (port) Y-Destination (port) Sudeep At 01:32 PM 9/28/98 -0500, you wrote: >I need to give remote shell access to a user in a server (an HP-9000 k410 >running HP-UX 10.10) conected to mine through a 3Com router, I have done >some investigation and what I have found is that I have to open port 514 >for tcp, for some reason this did not work, so I opened (temporarily of >course) all the ports on the router....and it worked, but I don´t want to >leave it like that, Does anyone now what port(s) I need to leave open to >alow the remote shells?. > >Is there any configuration needed other than the equiv.hosts and (or) the >.rhosts files ? > >Thanks in advance for your answers > >Benicio Sanchez >Network Operations Engineer >Alestra >

Domains for sale ? (This is not spam...)
by James R. Fisher 28 Sep '98

28 Sep '98

Greetings: Does anyone know of a website on which domain names are offered for sale ? This would be something of an underground enterprise if it exists ? I ask because it appears that a domain in which I have some interest has apparently come up for sale (usgs.com) You can see this just from the top of whois output for usgs.com . Thanks. -jrf

A cursory look at the web page advertised in the recent .cc spam indicates "DOMAINSPACE HAS STOPPED SENDING EMAIL DUE TO COMPLAINTS 9/28/98.". In case anyone wondered if the RBL works....

AT&T researchers have shown that IP traffic over the Internet is fractal in nature. Could be soon we will have an Internet Erlang value. -Hank

as soon as i got my very own personalized spam concerning their offer to add a domain to ".CC" for me, we blackholed all of their mail and web servers. since NANOG was discussing this a few days ago i thought i'd better chime in.
