Re:Ask HN: Tor network, can it be used for anything else? on Wednesday December 11, 2013 @12:05PM (#6888814)
Yeah you can. you can make Tor only service that is accessible only via Tor network using Tor handles (URLs), or use Tor network to send requests via it.

Macs are based on BSD and such wouldn't use paging as Windows does, only swapping in case if you are reaching 100% of memory.

Looking for a fellow developer

Hello,I'm starting to build a new control panel for virtualization ( Xen , KVM at first ), this has been something I've done for my personal use but I'd like to expand it further and write something that can be a direct opponent to SolusVM which is simply tacky in my opinion.If there are any developers ( ruby/JS ) that are interested into starting this, please let me know :)I do expect either...

Please test it out and advise/propose any new features you'd like to see. It's been a side project of mine, constantly improving it. Thank you!
For such things mostly get them behind a VPN, that is only routing network towards your network ( your IP ranges ), setup a "login" server for them, based solely on a SSH key auth - they can use this login server to access your testing/production servers.

The trick on the login server is to have the ssh wrapper utility that will allow them SSH access and also log their SSH activity. The app I wrote: - setup one user that the app will use where the SSH keys are store and secure the home directory - has 2 set of keys - admin in normal SSH keys - users that can access with admin SSH keys are added to the configuration, their UID is checked and compared between the confiuration and system UID for their user - app then calls a the app via a "connect" - this calls the "script" binary to log the output of the SSH session

Consists of 2 scripts: First script is the "connect" script - it will check if the user is permitted to use it (using the configuration file) the it calls, via sudo -u sshkeyuser script [options] ssh root@server . The logs are stored in /var/log/ssh-session/ where you can see all that it has been done in the users shell when he had it open.

And lastly - a strong NDA and contract to protect your IP and prevent them on bragging around on the "XY" feature they're working on.
