On IPv6 linux router, autoconf and accept router advertisements for single interface

Apparently right now if you have /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding set to a value of 1 that completely disables the auto configuration of Interfaces and routes, but I have a system with one interface that I want to dynamically configure the address.

I have a Linux box with multiple interfaces acting as a router with multiple wan connections. On the IPv4 side I am using multiple route tables and ip rules to direct traffic to separate uplinks.

My primary wan connection has static IPv6 address that are permanently assigned to my connection. The backup connection is basically a cheap broadband connection, and I have no static addresses IPv6, or IPv4. I can see via radvdump that my provider of my cheap broadband backup link that they are now sending out IPv6 router advertisements. on that link. Since my box is a router and has forwarding enabled, how do I dynamically configured the address on this link? Is there any way to have my system accept router advertisements configure its address, and then add the route with a metric higher than my routes from my primary connection?

My firewall is also running squid, and the vast bulk of my communication goes through the proxy. So in the case of a failure of the primary link I am not going to have to do any weird IPv6 NAT or anything to get my internal hosts to work with the dynamic network assigned on my broadband interface. The bulk of the communication will be nicely handled by the application level proxy.

So how do I get that interface on my Linux system connected to broadband network configured for IPv6? In the slight chance it matters, the Linux box is running Debian wheezy, with the 3.14-0.bpo.2-amd64 kernel.

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
