Synology is kind enough to allow remote SSH connection to their NAS. I have enabled it on my DS409slim. But there is just one little missing feature: sFTP ; that is transfer file via SSH.
To enable sFTP with DSM 4.0, log on the Synology using SSH, manually enable the sftp subsystem and restart the SSH dæmon:
# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config (...) Subsystem sftp internal-sftp -f DAEMON -l VERBOSE (...) # /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S95sshd.sh restart Stop SSH... Connection to syno closed by remote host. Unfortunately, that last command never restarted the SSH daemon… Just log on the Web interface, browse to the configuration panel and, from the “Terminal” section, select “Enable the SSH service”. This will restart the SSH dæmon and give you access to sFTP transfer too.Continue reading...
OpenBSD ships with an LDAP daemon since 4.8. I have an all-in-one server from which the LDAP service has to be shipped out. I’m going to replace that OpenLDAP daemon with the LDAP daemon from OpenBSD 5.1. I already wrote about how to enable LDAP on OpenBSD 4.8 .
Those will be updated notes for OpenBSD 5.1 and additional directions to allow monitoring the LDAP activity using SNMP and Xymon server.Continue reading...
My actual Mail system is running OpenBSD. I use the good old “put the bits together and rule the configuration files” way. But there are some times when I fell like a Web GUI would be nice. I never liked solutions like Zimbra or Zarafa so much because they were quite restrictive bundles - it terms of which backend could be use. But that’s what they’re selled for: bundles.
Let’s have a look at what mailserv does and how.Continue reading...
I’ve just upgraded my OpenBSD’s Xymon server from 4.3.9 to 4.3.10. It was so simple that it deserved a simple note to:
confirm you don’t need the “--rrdlib” parameter to configure xymon-server with RRDtool support on OpenBSD (5.1) anymore; applause for “gmake install” to be keeping the initial (modified) configuration files untouched. Congratz Henrik!Continue reading...
Lately, I couldn’t publish any more articles on my WordPress instance. Instead of the “Publish” button, I only got “Submit For Review”. As I upgraded WordPress recently, I thought this might be either a new feature or some permissions that were dropped ; but I just couldn’t find any.
After a few dig&read on the Internet, most of this behavior seemed to reveal a problem with the database. And I recently had a few bunch of crashes on the infrastructure ; thanks to my electric power provider…Continue reading...
