local area network - IPv6 neighbour discovery problem

I would like to get IPv6 addresses with my LAN PCs behing a router with an IPv4 only ISP.



I have a dd-wrt router. I've set up an IPv6 tunnel with Hurricane Electric (http://tunnelbroker.net/).



What works:



I can ping6 from the router to IPv6 addresses, from outside the router can be pinged with its tunneled IPv6 address. I've also set up an IPv6 addr for the routers LAN iface and made radvd, forward rules and sysctls work for my LAN to have an address from the given /64 range. I get an IPv6 IP on Windows 7 and on Ubuntu too (not the fe80: one but the 2001: one). Windows 7 works fine from itself but almost always loses the first ping packet, but after it the others are fine. It's also strange but it's not a big problem.



What does not really work:




Ubuntu does not work at start, but if i ping the router's LAN ifaces IPv6 addr, then it works for half a min, then it stops. I figured out that if I ping the LAN iface the neighbour table gets a new line (ip -6 ne output):



2001:470:xxxx:xxxx:0:98fc:1148:4507 dev eth2 lladdr 98:fc:11:48:45:07 router REACHABLE


After a while it will be STALE or even disappears.



I've tried to manually add that to neighbour table but it gets STALE or disappears that way too. What should i do to make it work permanently?



My radvd config btw:




interface br0 {
MinRtrAdvInterval 3;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 10;
AdvLinkMTU 1480;
AdvSendAdvert on;
prefix 2001:470:xxxx:xxxx::/64 {
AdvOnLink on;
AdvAutonomous on;
AdvValidLifetime 43200;

AdvPreferredLifetime 43200;
};
};





Thanks for the suggestion.



But I could not make it work with only a single /64 prefix for LAN and WAN, so I requested a /48. That way there is a separate /64 prefix for the router's WAN iface and for the LAN one. That way the computers can generate their own addres automatically and there is no routing and ne problems.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits,

apache 2.2 - Server Potentially Compromised -- c99madshell

So, low and behold, a legacy site we've been hosting for a client had a version of FCKEditor that allowed someone to upload the dreaded c99madshell exploit onto our web host. I'm not a big security buff -- frankly I'm just a dev currently responsible for S/A duties due to a loss of personnel. Accordingly, I'd love any help you server-faulters could provide in assessing the damage from the exploit. To give you a bit of information: The file was uploaded into a directory within the webroot, "/_img/fck_uploads/File/". The Apache user and group are restricted such that they can't log in and don't have permissions outside of the directory from which we serve sites. All the files had 770 permissions (user rwx, group rwx, other none) -- something I wanted to fix but was told to hold off on as it wasn't "high priority" (hopefully this changes that). So it seems the hackers could've easily executed the script. Now I wasn't able
