TCE Q&A Forum / Re: ezremaster TC 4.7.7 remaster kernal panic

« Last post by gmc on Today at 04:53:41 PM »

Hi gmc
It's actually compressed swap in RAM. Thumb drives also have a limited number of write cycles, somewhere in the
1 to 10 million range these days I believe. Wearing out a $5 thumb drive is more palatable than wearing out your DOM.

Oh, compressed!  That's very interesting. 

I like your logic on cheap thumb drives.  I haven't bought any in so long that it never occurred to me.

Thanks!

Update:  We had to go to town today so while we were out and about I checked the prices on new thumb drives.  I was pleased to find that I could buy a "small" (8GB) PNY drive for $6.  So I did.  At that price you are right - it won't matter if it goes bad, it becomes a "wear" item, like tires on the car.  Thanks for the tip.

One of the characteristics of Core is that it is highly nomadic.
Unless you wanted to use something like local_initramfs.sh which depends on currently loaded modules, I see no absolute reason to remaster on the target machine.

I have created remasters for a diskless machine to be booted via PXE on a different machine and it worked out very well.

Actually, that is one of the main goals I had for the remaster.  Another is for a complete working backup, ready to run out of the box, so to speak.

So at that point, it's just dropping a firewall in that filters and as a part of it, block SMTP unless it's to your ISP's system.

Your best bet is finding a good friend or affordable consultant.  There are appliances to do this sort of thing and some are quite affordable.

We have no mail server on site, we use smtp to our isp mail server.

We have no firewall on site, we use a mix of windows xp and windows 7 machines. Plus a few microcore file servers.

I've had no network admin training so am not sure what direction to take

1) Only allow highly trusted systems (your mail filter system) to send from your IP range.  Block others by default at your firewall.
2) Filter outbound email to prevent a compromised account from spamming.

For many years, the network I work with had #1.  During a migration to a new mail filter (as a separate appliance, utilized by the mail system as a smart host), outbound filtering was never turned back on.  When 1 account was compromised, it generated over 100k messages in around 8 hours, quadruple the typical weekly volume.  I checked various blacklists and found nothoing.  Days later I hear that 1 domain blacklisted our system which was easy to resolve (submit request and unblocked within ~4 hours).
