All these accounts listed below have emailed me commercial spam, or added me to their mailing list without any consent. In no way do I suggest that web scraping bots take their email addresses and add them to their own spam mailing lists so they suffer the same fate that I have, but these things have been known to happen on the internet and I can't really stop that from happening.

While it does take time and effort to wade out these spammers from my email, copy and paste their email address, log into my website to do all this, I may be willing to remove individual addresses for a nominal consideration for my time and effort in doing so.

Recipes:HerbDijobPrimeRibRub

2018-05-12T22:06:45Z

Nelgin:

What You'll Need

1/3 cup/80 mL mustard (Dijon)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons/30 mL oregano (fresh, finely chopped)

1 tablespoon/15 mL marjoram (fresh, chopped)

2 teaspoons/10 mL thyme (fresh)

1 teaspoon/5 mL rosemary (fresh, chopped)

Optional: 1 tablespoon/15 mL mustard (stone ground)

1 tablespoon/15 mL salt (use more if roast is large)

1 teaspoon/5 mL onion powder

1 teaspoon/5 mL black pepper (coarse ground)

How to Make It

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

Apply wet rub all over prime rib roast and cook as directed.

You can prepare this mixture, cover and let sit for 15-20 minutes before using.

This allows the flavors to meld properly.

Store mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days after preparation.

Double recipe if you are cooking a very large roast, otherwise, this amount works well for a four bone rib roast.

How to startup single user rescue mode with lvm.

Enter the grub boot menu and look for linux16 and change "ro" to "rw init=sysroot/bin/sh" then CTRL-X to start up

You'll need to mount some filesystems

mount -t proc none /sysroot/proc
mount -t sysfs none /sysroot/sys
mount -o bind /dev /sysroot/dev

Now let's discover our LVMS if you have separate /var, /home, or other fs you want to work with

lvm vgscan -v
lvm vgchange -a y
lvm lvscan -v --all

After this I had to run vgscan again. I'm not sure it made the nodes the first time.

lvm vgscan -v --mknodes

Now you can mount any filesystems. This will vary with your vg names of course

mount /dev/vg00/lv.var /sysroot/var

Once you've got everything mounted you can chroot

chroot /sysroot

Remember to drop back out of sysroot and umount your filesystems before rebooting.

Hope this helps someone.

Windows:MoveOutlookOST

2018-02-08T20:19:03Z

Nelgin:

I recently built a new computer and in the process my main profile name changed. My old computer used a local account "nigelreed" and the new one using an online account "nigel".

When I imported the registry and moved the ost I found I was getting error messages.

Outlook data file cannot be accessed was one of them.

It's actually a simple, but time consuming fix and you need to be familiar with ASCII codes

From the old system, export HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook

If you already pulled the disk to copy your data you can run regedit and load the NTUSER.DAT from the home directory into the HKEY_USERS section. Just select HKEY_USERS then File > Load Hive and select the NTUSER.DAT file. Browse to \Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook and export it to a .reg file. We'll use profile.reg for now. Make a copy so we can go back in case anything gets messed up.

Open profile.reg in notepad.

Now, you'll have to find the hexadecimal ascii value of your old profile. The gotchya is that each letter is separated by a null value.

Use the website https://www.binaryhexconverter.com/ascii-text-to-hex-converter to help convert your text to hex based ascii.

For example, my profile was nigelreed so I'm going to get the slashes before and after. Remember profiles are case sensitive. nigelreed is not the same as NigelReed

\nigelreed\

Results in 5c 6e 69 67 65 6c 72 65 65 64 5c

So in the profiles.reg file I'm going to be looking for any occurrence of 5c,00,6e,00,69,00,67,00,65,00,6c,00,72,00,65,00,65,00,64,00,5c

My new profile is just "nigel" so I'd want to go through and remove "72,00,65,00,65,00,64,00,", however my domain name is also nigelreed so I have to be careful not to remove the wrong ones. Look for your profile name between "5c" since this will most likely be your path.

Another gotchya is that this string of characters could be split over 2 lines.

96,50,44,86,83,b8,7d,e5,22,aa,49,48,00,00,43,00,3a,00,5c,00,55,00,73,00,65,\
00,72,00,73,00,5c,00,6e,00,69,00,67,00,65,00,6c,00,'''72,00,65,00,65,00,64,00,\'''
'''5c''',00,41,00,70,00,70,00,44,00,61,00,74,00,61,00,5c,00,4c,00,6f,00,63,00

In the above example you can see that the slash is on the next line.

96,50,44,86,83,b8,7d,e5,22,aa,49,48,00,00,43,00,3a,00,5c,00,55,00,73,00,65,\
00,72,00,73,00,5c,00,6e,00,69,00,67,00,65,00,6c,00,\
5c,00,41,00,70,00,70,00,44,00,61,00,74,00,61,00,5c,00,4c,00,6f,00,63,00

So I just removed the "reed" portion. It doesn't matter how many characters are on a line so you can have more or less.

If your profile name is completely different, go back to the ascii text webpage and put in your new profile name and convert.
Open another notepad and paste the hex ascii and insert your commas and null 00 values. You can then paste this between the 5c,00, values.

Let's say the new profile was "FredBloggs"

This converts to

46 72 65 64 42 6c 6f 67 67 73

Now you need to make it look like this:

46,00,72,00,65,00,64,00,42,00,6c,00,6f,00,67,00,67,00,73,00

Then replace your old profile between the leading 5c,00 and trailing 5c in the path.

Once that is done, also make sure all your keys include HKEY_CURRENT_USER

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook] 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook\062512c81d7d644087505c2b8d9ad736]

etc.

You can press CTRL H in Notepad to go a global search and replace. Make sure your cursor is at the top of the file first.

Finally, you can now import the registry key. Run

regedit profile.reg

At this point go into Control Panel > Mail (Microsoft Outlook) and look at "Data Files". They should all now be pointing to your new location. If the data looks corrupt (possibly Chinese or odd ascii characters) then you messed up your profile.reg. Don't panic, see if you can fix it or copy over the backup file start again and re-import into the registry.

At this stage you may load Outlook. It may complain about passwords for IMAP/POP3 accounts so just go into Account Settings within Outlook and enter the password. Exchange accounts should popup with a password box.

Of course, YMMV but this did work for me without having to delete, recreate, or anything else with my .ost files.

At this point go into Control Panel > Mail (Microsoft Outlook) and look at "Data Files". They should all now be pointing to your new location. If the data looks corrupt (possibly Chinese or odd ascii characters) then you messed up your profile.reg. Don't panic, see if you can fix it or copy over the backup file start again and re-import into the registry.

At this stage you may load Outlook. It may complain about passwords for IMAP/POP3 accounts so just go into Account Settings within Outlook and enter the password. Exchange accounts should popup with a password box.

Of course, YMMV but this did work for me without having to delete, recreate, or anything else with my .ost files.

I recently built a new computer and in the process my main profile name changed. My old computer used a local account "nigelreed" and the new one using an online account "nigel".

When I imported the registry and moved the ost I found I was getting error messages.

Outlook data file cannot be accessed was one of them.

It's actually a simple, but time consuming fix and you need to be familiar with ASCII codes

From the old system, export HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook

If you already pulled the disk to copy your data you can run regedit and load the NTUSER.DAT from the home directory into the HKEY_USERS section. Just select HKEY_USERS then File > Load Hive and select the NTUSER.DAT file. Browse to \Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook and export it to a .reg file. We'll use profile.reg for now.

Open profile.reg in notepad.

Now, you'll have to find the hexadecimal ascii value of your old profile. The gotchya is that each letter is separated by a null value.

Use the website https://www.binaryhexconverter.com/ascii-text-to-hex-converter to help convert your text to hex based ascii.

For example, my profile was nigelreed so I'm going to get the slashes before and after. Remember profiles are case sensitive. nigelreed is not the same as NigelReed

\nigelreed\

Results in 5c 6e 69 67 65 6c 72 65 65 64 5c

So in the profiles.reg file I'm going to be looking for any occurrence of 5c,00,6e,00,69,00,67,00,65,00,6c,00,72,00,65,00,65,00,64,00,5c

My new profile is just "nigel" so I'd want to go through and remove "72,00,65,00,65,00,64,00,", however my domain name is also nigelreed so I have to be careful not to remove the wrong ones. Look for your profile name between "5c" since this will most likely be your path.

Another gotchya is that this string of characters could be split over 2 lines.

96,50,44,86,83,b8,7d,e5,22,aa,49,48,00,00,43,00,3a,00,5c,00,55,00,73,00,65,\
00,72,00,73,00,5c,00,6e,00,69,00,67,00,65,00,6c,00,'''72,00,65,00,65,00,64,00,\
5c''',00,41,00,70,00,70,00,44,00,61,00,74,00,61,00,5c,00,4c,00,6f,00,63,00

In the above example you can see that the slash is on the next line.

96,50,44,86,83,b8,7d,e5,22,aa,49,48,00,00,43,00,3a,00,5c,00,55,00,73,00,65,\
00,72,00,73,00,5c,00,6e,00,69,00,67,00,65,00,6c,00,\
5c''',00,41,00,70,00,70,00,44,00,61,00,74,00,61,00,5c,00,4c,00,6f,00,63,00

So I just removed the "reed" portion. It doesn't matter how many characters are on a line so you can have more or less.

If your profile name is completely different, go back to the ascii text webpage and put in your new profile name and convert.
Open another notepad and paste the hex ascii and insert your commas and null 00 values. You can then paste this between the 5c,00, values.

Let's say the new profile was "FredBloggs"

This converts to

46 72 65 64 42 6c 6f 67 67 73
F r e d B l o g g s

Now you need to make it look like this:

46,00,72,00,65,00,64,00,42,00,6c,00,6f,00,67,00,67,00,73,00

Then replace your old profile between the leading 5c,00 and trailing 5c in the path.

Once that is done, also make sure all your keys include HKEY_CURRENT_USER

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook\062512c81d7d644087505c2b8d9ad736]

etc.

You can press CTRL H in Notepad to go a global search and replace. Make sure your cursor is at the top of the file first.

Finally, you can now import the registry key. Run

regedit profile.reg

At this point go into Control Panel > Mail (Microsoft Outlook) and look

Linux:Synchronet

2017-10-31T00:26:57Z

Nelgin: /* iptables */

== Introduction ==

Synchronet (known as SBBS) is an all encompassing bulletin board software written by Rob Swindell that includes many integrated features such as servers for smtp, ftp, nntp (news), www, gopher plus more, along with QWK and Fidonet compatibility.

It compiles cleanly on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Linux release which is available to any home user and many VPS providers.

In this wiki, I will walk you through setting up SBBS from start to finish including everything you need to get going on the Linux side.

Since you have chosen to use Linux, I'll assume that you know the basics such as how to edit files using vim or other editor of your choice, how to change directories, list, copy, and find files and other basic tasks. At the very least if you're unable to login as root then maybe you should try the Windows version.

==Setting up the Linux environment==

Since the only thing I will be running on my server is SBBS, I want to remove all the other packages that may interfere with it. If your host is also a mail server, you may have problems having SBBS also be a mail server until you have two ip addresses. This will be covered later. Since you can get a VPS for around $20 a year, I recommend getting a dedicated box for your BBS.

* Login to your system as root. In most Ubuntu examples they have you use a regular user with sudo and you're free to do that. I find it time consuming and this will speed you through quicker. Most VPS providers enable ssh as root by default.

* generate a locale for your box.
It seems Ubuntu doesn't come with a default locale. Since we're working with software written in English and most likely you can read English, we're go with US English for now by using en_US.UTF-8. If you know your own locale setting then feel free to choose that.

dpkg-reconfigure locales

Select the locale for your area and choose OK to generate the proper locale. You may need to logout and back in again. en_US.UTF-8 is what we'll use for US systems.

* Set the correct timezone. Use the timezone selection utility

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Select your geographic area then the city or region. The result will be the new current default timezone, the time and the UTC time.

* Remove the packages that we don't need. Since I am not going to be running a separate web server, mail server or using samba, I'm going to remove those pages. It saves disk space, processor usage and makes updates quicker.

apt-get remove apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils bind9utils ldap-utils libldap-2.4-2 python-samba samba samba-common samba-common-bin samba-libs bsd-mailx postfix

* Once those packages are removed then it's time to make sure your system is updated to the latest and greatest.

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

add the following source to the top of the list

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu xenial main multiverse

* Update the sources

apt-get update

* Finally upgrade your packages to the latest

apt-get upgrade

At this stage you may wish to reboot to ensure that everything comes up clean. If you're happy then we can proceed.

* Now we need to install a bunch of packages that we'll need to build the SBBS package, plus some other useful tools. Some may be pre-installed by your provider depending on how they build their image. You will be told about additional packages that will be installed if they are needed. Some may not be needed if you're not going to use zoo or arc compression, for example, but at least they will be there if you need them.
apt-get install gcc g++ cpp dos2unix socat zoo arj arc libperl-dev zlibc zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev zip mawk autotools-dev automake autoconf xutils-dev cvs netcat netcat-traditional iptables-persistent libnspr4-dev libnspr4 libncurses5-dev libtinfo-dev bzip2-doc cpp-5 g++-5 gcc-5 gcc-5-base libasan2 libatomic1 libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dev libcc1-0 libcilkrts5 libgcc-5-dev libgomp1 libtool flex bison libbison-dev libfl-dev libisl15 libitm1 liblsan0 libltdl-dev libmpc3 libmpx0 libquadmath0 libstdc++-5-dev libstdc++6 libtsan0 libubsan0 linux-libc-dev manpages-dev netfilter-persistent zlib1g dpkg-dev fakeroot libalgorithm-diff-perl libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl libdpkg-perl libfakeroot pkg-config autoconf2.13 libfile-fcntllock-perl libopts25 ntp bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-140 libdns162 libisc160 libisccfg140 liblwres141 dosemu binkd gkermit exuberant-ctags

Answer Yes to save ipv4 and ipv6 rules and OK the warning about the kernel.

* As soon as the packages are installed you need to stop binkd since we'll be making a change to the startup parameters.

systemctl stop binkd

* edit the binkd startup script and change '''ftn''' to '''bbs''' for both User and Group.

vi /lib/systemd/system/binkd.service

* reload in the systemd config

systemctl daemon-reload

* Add a user for your BBS to run under. Run the addsuer command and fill in any of the details you wish to and create a password.

adduser bbs

* Edit the bashrc to add in some environment variables that'll be needed

vi /home/bbs/.bashrc

Add the following 3 lines to the bottom

export PATH=$PATH:/sbbs/exec
export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl
export SBBSNODE=/sbbs/node1

* For ease of use and make it easy to follow the SBBS documentation create a directory, symbolic link and change some ownerships to make it all work together

mkdir /home/bbs/sbbs

ln -s /home/bbs/sbbs /sbbs

chown -R bbs. /var/log/binkd /etc/binkd/binkd.* /var/run/ftn /home/bbs/sbbs

* Install the ansi-bb file for proper compatibility.

wget http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/install/terminfo

tic terminfo

At this stage your system is in a state where you can install sbbs however due to security I don't run on any ports under 1024 natively. I use iptables NAT redirection to accomplish that. If you don't want run on the lower ports then you're welcome to skip this section but you should be familiar with securing your system.

== iptables ==

* Since I am going to have my BBS listen on port 22 for ssh connections, I will need to move sshd out of the way.

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

change Change Port 22 to port 24 in the sshd_config file then restart sshd

systemctl restart sshd

* Verify that sshd is now listening on port 24

netstat -anp|grep sshd

You should see a LISTEN line with 0.0.0.0:24

* You'll need to enter a number of iptables commands. I'll explain each one.

iptables -F INPUT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s yy.yy.yy.yy/32 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -m multiport --dports 6667,10088,11100,1700,1800,2000,2100,2200,2300,2500,7000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -m multiport --dports 7900,8000,11000,11900,44300,11100,24554,58700, 51300 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp -m multiport --dports 1700,1800,7900 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED -m tcp --dport 62000:64000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s yy.yy.yy.yy/32 -p icmp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Line 1 flushes the table so there's nothing to interfere 
Line 2 allows established connections to continue without having to try and match the rule again. This is here for speed. 
Line 3 Replace yy.yy.yy.yy with your IP address. This is your way into your box. You can add multiple lines if you have multiple places you may wish to login from. If your IP address is rather dynamic then you'll want to probably leave out the -s yy.yy.yy.yy otherwise you'll be locked out of your box. 
line 4-5 these are the TCP ports we're going to accept. They're the base port with 00 added on for those under 1024 except for 11100. For example port 2300 will be used for telnet access and will be redirected there from port 23. Not all these ports may be used so if you don't plan on using the ircd you can leave off 6667. You can specify upto 15 ips per line. 
Line 6 same as above but for UDP services. 
Line 7 are TCP ports used for passive ftp. If you're not going to use ftp then you can leave out ports 2000, 2100, and line 6. 
Line 8 allows you to accept ping requests from your local ip. If you don't want people to ping your box then include this line. 
Line 9 Always accept connections on localhost. 
Line 10 Reject everything else. 

* Now you need to create NAT rules to redirect from the lower ports

iptables -t nat -F PREROUTING
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 11 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:11100
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 17 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:1700

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:2200
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 23 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:2300
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:2500
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 70 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:7000
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 79 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:7900
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:8000
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 110 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:11000
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 119 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:11900
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:44300
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 513 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:51300
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 587 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:58700
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -m udp --dport 11 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:11100
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -m udp --dport 17 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:1700
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -m udp --dport 18 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:1800
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -m udp --dport 79 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:7900

Replace xx.xx.xx.xx with your server's ip address.
These lines will redirect the incoming connections to the higher ports. Any connections you don't wish to accept you can leave out. For example, if you're not going to accept ftp traffic you can leave out the redirection from port 20 and 21.

* save the rules and reload iptables

iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4

systemctl reload netfilter-persistent

* verify your iptables rules are in place

iptables -nL INPUT

iptables -t nat -nL PREROUTING

If you wish to use ipv6 that is a separate conversation that will be addressed later.

Replace xx.xx.xx.xx with your server's ip address.
These lines will redirect the incoming connections to the higher ports. Any connections you don't wish to accept you can leave out. For example, if you're not going to accept ftp traffic you can leave out the redirection from port 20 and 21.

* save the rules and reload iptables

iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4

systemctl reload netfilter-persistent

* verify your iptables rules are in place

iptables -nL INPUT

iptables -t nat -nL PREROUTING

If you wish to use ipv6 that is a separate conversation that will be addressed later.

Linux:Synchronet

2017-10-30T23:27:59Z

Nelgin:

== Introduction ==

Synchronet (known as SBBS) is an all encompassing bulletin board software written by Rob Swindell that includes many integrated features such as servers for smtp, ftp, nntp (news), www, gopher plus more, along with QWK and Fidonet compatibility.

It compiles cleanly on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Linux release which is available to any home user and many VPS providers.

In this wiki, I will walk you through setting up SBBS from start to finish including everything you need to get going on the Linux side.

Since you have chosen to use Linux, I'll assume that you know the basics such as how to edit files using vim or other editor of your choice, how to change directories, list, copy, and find files and other basic tasks. At the very least if you're unable to login as root then maybe you should try the Windows version.

==Setting up the Linux environment==

Since the only thing I will be running on my server is SBBS, I want to remove all the other packages that may interfere with it. If your host is also a mail server, you may have problems having SBBS also be a mail server until you have two ip addresses. This will be covered later. Since you can get a VPS for around $20 a year, I recommend getting a dedicated box for your BBS.

* Login to your system as root. In most Ubuntu examples they have you use a regular user with sudo and you're free to do that. I find it time consuming and this will speed you through quicker. Most VPS providers enable ssh as root by default.

* generate a locale for your box.
It seems Ubuntu doesn't come with a default locale. Since we're working with software written in English and most likely you can read English, we're go with US English for now by using en_US.UTF-8. If you know your own locale setting then feel free to choose that.

dpkg-reconfigure locales

Select the locale for your area and choose OK to generate the proper locale. You may need to logout and back in again. en_US.UTF-8 is what we'll use for US systems.

* Set the correct timezone. Use the timezone selection utility

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Select your geographic area then the city or region. The result will be the new current default timezone, the time and the UTC time.

* Remove the packages that we don't need. Since I am not going to be running a separate web server, mail server or using samba, I'm going to remove those pages. It saves disk space, processor usage and makes updates quicker.

apt-get remove apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils bind9utils ldap-utils libldap-2.4-2 python-samba samba samba-common samba-common-bin samba-libs bsd-mailx postfix

* Once those packages are removed then it's time to make sure your system is updated to the latest and greatest.

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

add the following source to the top of the list

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu xenial main multiverse

* Update the sources

apt-get update

* Finally upgrade your packages to the latest

apt-get upgrade

At this stage you may wish to reboot to ensure that everything comes up clean. If you're happy then we can proceed.

* Now we need to install a bunch of packages that we'll need to build the SBBS package, plus some other useful tools. Some may be pre-installed by your provider depending on how they build their image. You will be told about additional packages that will be installed if they are needed. Some may not be needed if you're not going to use zoo or arc compression, for example, but at least they will be there if you need them.
apt-get install gcc g++ cpp dos2unix socat zoo arj arc libperl-dev zlibc zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev zip mawk autotools-dev automake autoconf xutils-dev cvs netcat netcat-traditional iptables-persistent libnspr4-dev libnspr4 libncurses5-dev libtinfo-dev bzip2-doc cpp-5 g++-5 gcc-5 gcc-5-base libasan2 libatomic1 libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dev libcc1-0 libcilkrts5 libgcc-5-dev libgomp1 libtool flex bison libbison-dev libfl-dev libisl15 libitm1 liblsan0 libltdl-dev libmpc3 libmpx0 libquadmath0 libstdc++-5-dev libstdc++6 libtsan0 libubsan0 linux-libc-dev manpages-dev netfilter-persistent zlib1g dpkg-dev fakeroot libalgorithm-diff-perl libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl libdpkg-perl libfakeroot pkg-config autoconf2.13 libfile-fcntllock-perl libopts25 ntp bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-140 libdns162 libisc160 libisccfg140 liblwres141 dosemu binkd gkermit exuberant-ctags

Answer Yes to save ipv4 and ipv6 rules and OK the warning about the kernel.

* As soon as the packages are installed you need to stop binkd since we'll be making a change to the startup parameters.

systemctl stop binkd

* edit the binkd startup script and change '''ftn''' to '''bbs''' for both User and Group.

vi /lib/systemd/system/binkd.service

* reload in the systemd config

systemctl daemon-reload

* Add a user for your BBS to run under. Run the addsuer command and fill in any of the details you wish to and create a password.

adduser bbs

* Edit the bashrc to add in some environment variables that'll be needed

vi /home/bbs/.bashrc

Add the following 3 lines to the bottom

export PATH=$PATH:/sbbs/exec
export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl
export SBBSNODE=/sbbs/node1

* For ease of use and make it easy to follow the SBBS documentation create a directory, symbolic link and change some ownerships to make it all work together

mkdir /home/bbs/sbbs

ln -s /home/bbs/sbbs /sbbs

chown -R bbs. /var/log/binkd /etc/binkd/binkd.* /var/run/ftn /home/bbs/sbbs

* Install the ansi-bb file for proper compatibility.

wget http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/install/terminfo

tic terminfo

At this stage your system is in a state where you can install sbbs however due to security I don't run on any ports under 1024 natively. I use iptables NAT redirection to accomplish that. If you don't want run on the lower ports then you're welcome to skip this section but you should be familiar with securing your system.

== iptables ==

* Since I am going to have my BBS listen on port 22 for ssh connections, I will need to move sshd out of the way.

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

change Change Port 22 to port 24 in the sshd_config file then restart sshd

systemctl restart sshd

* Verify that sshd is now listening on port 24

netstat -anp|grep sshd

You should see a LISTEN line with 0.0.0.0:24

* You'll need to enter a number of iptables commands. I'll explain each one.

iptables -F INPUT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s yy.yy.yy.yy/32 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -m multiport --dports 6667,10088,11100,1700,1800,2000,2100,2200,2300,2500,7000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -m multiport --dports 7900,8000,11000,11900,44300,11100,24554 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp -m multiport --dports 1700,1800,7900 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED -m tcp --dport 62000:64000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s yy.yy.yy.yy/32 -p icmp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Line 1 flushes the table so there's nothing to interfere 
Line 2 allows established connections to continue without having to try and match the rule again. This is here for speed. 
Line 3 Replace yy.yy.yy.yy with your IP address. This is your way into your box. You can add multiple lines if you have multiple places you may wish to login from. If your IP address is rather dynamic then you'll want to probably leave out the -s yy.yy.yy.yy otherwise you'll be locked out of your box. 
line 4-5 these are the TCP ports we're going to accept. They're the base port with 00 added on for those under 1024 except for 11100. For example port 2300 will be used for telnet access and will be redirected there from port 23. Not all these ports may be used so if you don't plan on using the ircd you can leave off 6667. You can specify upto 15 ips per line. 
Line 6 same as above but for UDP services. 
Line 7 are TCP ports used for passive ftp. If you're not going to use ftp then you can leave out ports 2000, 2100, and line 6. 
Line 8 allows you to accept ping requests from your local ip. If you don't want people to ping your box then include this line. 
Line 9 Always accept connections on localhost. 
Line 10 Reject everything else. 

* Now you need to create NAT rules to redirect from the lower ports

iptables -t nat -F PREROUTING
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 11 -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx:11100

Linux:kodi disconnections

2017-10-30T23:04:21Z

Nelgin:

There are several multimedia streaming servers for Linux. The one I liked most of all was madsonic but I don't care for the fee structure. I have moved on to Kodi which seems to be encoding anything and everything that minidlna (Readymedia) wasn't.

However, one problem I have had is that after 10-12 minutes or so of watching a stream on my Samsung Bluray player it would disconnect and I'd have to restart.

I found the simple answer was to assign a static IP address to my player. My guess is that every time there was some sort of DHCP event, it would cause the player to stop. I don't know if this is just a Samsung issue or more wide spread but I have seen many people complain about frequent disconnects while viewing.

You'll have to look in the manual for your device on how to configure a static IP but it's not difficult. If you can compile Kodi then you can probably configure your player.

I hope this little hint helps someone and will remind me next time it happens.
