Capture ssh sessions

tel0s — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:47:45 -0500

Just thought I would post something that I was working in today, It's a setup to capture what happens in all sessions under bash, server side, without user request or input.

first of all you need to create a directory in /var/log where you want all your ssh sessions to be logged to.

sudo mkdir /var/log/sessions

now in that folder, you need to add this script

bashlogoutscript.sh

name=`who am i | cut -f1 -d' '`

OLPC's - Factory build 650 and how to upgrade

This is the following email I posted to TayLUG:
I have just got the 2 OLPC's to play around with (last on the list).
With the factory default build version 650 WPA is not working (nobody
mentioned this). An internet connection can be made via a USB wired
ethernet as the Fedora operating system picks it up O.K. The only
problem here is that an internet update only works with build version

be downloaded and rpm forced to correct this. I decided that I wanted

Post about Zim Wiki desktop for web site

Well i have been working for the past couple of days with Zim Desktop Wiki. I have been needing to work on a number of documents for a number of projects, ranging from coursework, to Linux society promotional material. It dawned on me that i maybe better suited to using a Wiki to work on a majority of the stuff.

Describe your favourite distro

I just thought it would be a good idea to have people explain what their favourite distro is and why they like it. It might be useful to new users so they can have a quick look for themselves. Kinda like distro watch but hopefully less formal.

A basic concept, a belief that what is happening is not in the best interest of the people. It could be seen as a fight between the status quo, the norm, the average and change, difference, diversity. However as history proves superior forces that engages it's enemies for too long run the danger of fighting a evolved well adapted machine, that has had the
