Well I certainly wouldn't want *my* machine remotely accessible out-of-the-box, but that's just me. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Re: Cheap 3G mobile internet broadband plans ... what they don't have!
OOPs Just realised a default Lenny install didn't provide "sshd" Not what I expected! I will install heaps more on the Lenny machine & perhaps I maybe satisfied. Hi all How much better are the more expensive 3G plans over the cheaper plans? I have just tried out a 3G broadband dongle on linux Model : E160 I tried to get it to work on Centos 5.3 but failed. couldn't get "usb_modeswitch" to give a "/dev/USB0" . However tried on Debians "LENNY" and was it was trivial to get online using the E160. (just needed the dial string) I tried the 1Gig residential plan & found it wanting. The dialup PPP connection ONLY allows 4 incoming ports it seems. Among other Apps, I would like to remotely connect via SSH. Do the higher priced plans have less retrictions ? Do the higher priced plans support SSH? I found only 4 ports open. as below . r...@debian:~# netstat -an | grep "LISTEN " tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:34376 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp0 0 127.0.0.1:250.0.0.0:* LISTEN TIA for any comments Roger No virus found in this outgoing message.
