View Full Version : RackShack Uptime
It does happen, folks:
4:36pm up 224 days, 10:51, 1 user, load average: 1.12, 1.16, 1.11
It's a RackShack Potluck 1 gHz machine from back in the day, not a problem in its life. As you can see by the load average, the site has outgrown it, but it was great while it lasted.
TowerHost 11-11-2002, 05:28 PM Nice indeed!
Just one site is running on it?
Mind sharing the URL?

I wouldn't necessarily conclude that. A load of around 1.00 isn't really that bad, unless it skyrockets too frequently.
My congrats, anyway :)

phpcoder 11-11-2002, 07:08 PM Sweet :)
Agreed, 1.00 load isn't that bad, however if you see it spiking alot now you might want to look into a new server (just incase this one starts to crash or lag).
Woogs 11-11-2002, 08:17 PM Why would you want the URL? The only reason I can think of is to attempt to root the box which is running an old kernel...
Crmi... Do not post your URL unless your positive your kernel has no exploits.
rusko 11-11-2002, 09:06 PM woogs,
how exactly would one go about 'rooting' a kernel remotely?
i would be much more worried about openssh,openssl,apache,ftpd etc. though i highly doubt there is a chance he would survive on the rs network for long if he wasnt all patched.

Just curious as to what type of site it is.
You assume to much :rolleyes:
silversurfer 11-11-2002, 10:45 PM Rooting remotely is absolutely possible and that's precisely what hackers too ;)
lotuslnd 11-12-2002, 12:02 AM 11:00pm up 75 days, 29 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
A Rackshack AMD Duron w/ 512 MB RAM. Haven't had any problems yet either! *touches wood*
Later!
The uptime on my AMD Duron 1Ghz at RackShack;
12:40am up 318 days, 9:38, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
rusko 11-12-2002, 03:57 AM silversurfer,
woogs stated that someone could hack 'an old kernel' remotely. now to the best of my recollection there have been no remote *kernel* holes, especially since the rutgers people rewrote the tcpip stack.

do you even know what you're talking about?
silversurfer 11-12-2002, 05:18 AM rusko, you are right about your emphasis... no kernel holes. But whether the box is secured is another question. I am sure it is, but just saying that it's possible to root a box remotely. How is another issue altogether (running some extra, unnecessary services with holes etc.)
