Deep packet inspection yawn

Up at 5:30 to get fuzzyjelly to SJMH-Pontiac for an upper endoscopy so we can see if the stuff that's been happening lately has a definite cause

Why am I working on mail-server configurations this early without extra coffee?

Because you're insane?

Because you relish the thought of some brain-dead screw-up giving you hours of diagnostic pleasure as you sit there saying "What the hell did I do?"

Get some coffee, man!!

[kadiera]

nah. it's because he's a geek, and even without coffee, he can't stop thinking about working on the server. :-)

I have that problem, too....

But I also realize that no matter how how much the given problem / software install is bugging me, there comes a point of diminishing returns, where I'm so tired/distracted/addle-brained, that I end up doing more harm than good.

I hope her issues get sorted out and she's feeling 100 percent soon.

Stupid question

[niteshad]

But is it possible to run multiple instances of sshd, or cause it to listen on multiple ports?

netcat would likely be involved, yes?

Re: Stupid question

[stormgren]

Yes, yes, no.

Re: Stupid question

[stormgren]

The more detailed answer to that question is:

Yes, more than one sshd can be run, with different config files even, though given the reconfigurability based on users and groups makes it largely pointless.

Yes, sshd can run on multiple ports per instance and listen on specific IP addresses.

netcat doesn't get involved unless there's a program that does stdio that I need to talk to the network directly. If I needed to do something where SSHD wasn't listening on a port but I couldn't touch the config of sshd for some reasons, I'd use a port redirect based on whatever the OS supported in terms of firewalling.
