It's been a long, drawn out, brutal battle on the IT frontlines. Skirmishes can happen anywhere, at random -- in the server room, the board room, the cafeteria, or even, tragically, in civilian populated areas like pubs, restaurants, homes and big box electronics stores. The Mac and Windows battlefront consumes the resources of many foot soldiers, but the biggest, bloodiest conflicts involve the elite, highly trained IT commandos, who must be diplomats as well as fighters, and integrate a number of platforms across a single network.
Overly dramatic? Perhaps, but depending on your work environment and how quirky your mixed network is to configure, maybe not by much. There are several utilities available to promote diplomacy and peaceful interaction between machines in a mixed network. Likewise Software offers its open source Likewise integration applications to keep the peace -- and preserve platform equality and rights -- in a mixed network setting.
The OS Wars are frustrating and costly, but can be resolved with less heartache and far fewer casualties than other conflicts. This is why Likewise is promoting platform peace through t-shirt sales, with the proceeds going to charities supporting the civilian and military casualties of real wars.
I have a couple of public IP addresses and I need to forward a port for an application that will be made available to handful of internal users.
I have SSH access to the proxy server which has the public IP address and is connected to our LAN.
How would I forward the port through this box? How can I confirm what firewall is already set up on that box?
I currently use putty for SSH connections through windows. Is there a similar product available for the mac?
I am running Fedora Core 6 and my ssh terminal dies when it is inactive for a while. My issue is that I have several processes that need to run but they do not require any user input, and if the shell dies, the processes are killed too. I have tried suspending them, but that simply stops the processes. I have also tried running them in the background. What suggestions do you have?
