Secure SSH - How To (openSUSE)

Securing SSH SSH is normally enabled by default on Linux installations, so it goes without saying that a few simple security measures are required to keep the box free from brute force attacks. These measures are part of the SSH configuration and no additional software is required. If the machine is to be public facing then as a minimum I always follow these steps: Change the port the daemon is running on Remove access to root Enable certificate public/private key authentication

Moving Pan's (the newsreader) profile folder to another location

Having decided to have separate drives/partitions for different tasks/files (duh! not a seperate partition for each and every file type!), I searched for a way to do that with my newsreader: Pan. Great little software (thanks Charles). Following is how I managed to achieve this quest!

101: iPhone+Stanza+Calibre (the almost-perfect solution)

Having purchased an iPod Touch, I am in constant search of new eBooks (one of the main, if not the only, reason I bought this awesome little gadget). Since I did not have any intentions of jailbreaking, I needed to find ways to transfer my ever growing library (Gutenberg is such a great source). I have come across several forums talking about eBooks and eBook readers. One of them is the source of the following how-to:

Javascript to alert PDF update after a certain date

Sometimes is necessary to create pdf documents with an expiration date or with a warning after a certain date. Adobe have a professional server solution called 'LiveCycle Rights Management ES', to respond to this requirement and many others. The follow javascript simply test, on the event 'page open', if the current system date is major or equal to a defined date and in this case popup an alert. //---------------------------------------------------------------------- // --- start edit expiration date --- var lastDay=28 var lastMonth=5 var lastYear=2009 // --- end edit expiration date --- var sessione var today=new Date(); var myDate=new Date(); lastMonth=lastMonth-1; myDate.setFullYear(lastYear,lastMonth,lastDay); if (myDate<=today && sessione!=1) { app.alert("The current document may be up to date\r\nverify a new version on http://www.root-path.net ", 1, 0, "ALERT"); sessione=1; } //------------------------...

Batch renaming (one-off job)

1. put the filenames in a file. find . -name '*.gif' -o -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.png' -print >/tmp/f 2. get the file in a good editor, e.g. vi(m). vi /tmp/f 3. edit the file to get the commands you want (e.g :%s/pattern/replace/) 4. run the file sh /tmp/f

force all PDF files to download (APACHE)

You can put the following code in the htaccess:

Batch Renaming

If you need to rename a bunch of files from, for example,|add.png| to|add_32.png|, just do the following: for i in *; do j=`echo $i | cut -d . -f 1`; j=$j"_32.png"; mv $i $j; done

How to clear trailing spaces using VIM

:%s=\s\+$== And thats it! The % tells it to be global - not just the current line. s is a shortcut for substitute. The \s (whitespace) and \+ (at least once) are regular expression terms (the + needs to be escaped, it seems…). The $ (dollar) represents the end of a line. The = are being used as delimiters, the == at the end implies that the pattern is replaced with nothing.

Move windows profile folder to a new location after first install

Original of this guide exist in http://joshmouch.wordpress.com/2007/04/07/change-user-profile-folder-location-in-vista/ . I have changed some parts and omitted others to suit my purpose. [...] I wanted my actual user profile folder to be moved to a seperate partition/volume, including registry settings. I discovered that it is not actually that hard, provided you're comfortable with mass replacing registry keys and values.

Moving Profile Folder - Vista (May also apply to Windows 7)

Windows Vista introduces a fundamental change in the way user data is stored. The XP-style Documents And Settings folder is gone, replaced by the Users folder, which is located in the root of the system drive. Each user account has its own profile folder here, which contains 11 folders, each devoted to a different type of data.
