Rsync (2 replies)

Hi, i've registered yesterday and your server seems really nice.

But i'm missing some nice features, like rsync. Is it possible to install it?
Rsync is the one of the key features i really want to use with my BSD shell account.

Thanks.

P.S. Zsh would be nice also ;)

Security threat (6 replies)

Revealing sign.io's users login name because of the oident running is a major security threat.
The intruder 's half job has already been done only by looking at the irc X(

The solution is either you allow the oident to be spoofed by the users or you specify different name for each sign.io user to be claimed by oident in irc.

IPv4 to IPv6 tunneling (2 replies)

Here is my humble suggestion.Would you please consider do a tunneling using a free tunnel broker and provide IPv6 addresses?This would solve a lot of problems that sign.io is facing at the moment.

Quakenet trust (2 replies)

Hello.
I wasn't sure about where to put this request.
I was wondering if you would be so kind as to get signio a trust with the above irc network please. It seems some users that have shells with you are using this network also. My bnc and bot keeps getting glined because of to many hosts being connected at one time.
This is the "how to" on quakenets official webpage: [quakenet.org]
Thank you for your time and I hope you can do this for me, and it seems, other users of signio (or whoever else uses this ip) as it's a regular irc network I use.
Mark.

Vhosts (7 replies)

Hello and thank you very much for the use of a shell, I am using it to connect to IRC because I use cdma and battle with intermittency.

I connected to IRC yesterday and had two people ask me why I moved to British Indian Ocean Territory and was so confused until I realised that *.io is the country domain for British Indian Ocean Territory.

Would it be possible to change our vhost so we display from somewhere else ? It's no biggy, was just wandering as I see there is some info on using Vhosts but did not want to break anything yet.

Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Changing one's shell (1 reply)

ndr — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:34:45 -0500

Hello,

it would be great to have the ability to change one's shell by doing a 'chsh -s'. For now, I just put 'exec tcsh' in my ~/.cshrc, but it's a bit of a kludge.

Thanks for your time and for the very cool shell account.

IRC, ssh od 443 (5 replies)

summit — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:11:38 -0500

Hi,

Is there any posibility to do two things? :)
1) to access IRCnet
2) to access sshd on port 443 of ssh.sign.io (I have restrictive proxy at work, _but_ it allows all connections to port 443)

TIA.

Best regards.

Hello.

I can receive E-mails from another account beside ssh.sign.io.
So, please install a MUA like mutt, pine or elm.

Thanks.
