CIMB Online Banking in China?

CIMB Online banking(www.cimb.com.cn) in China? NO! It’s a PHISHING/SCAM website addressed that they are CIMB International banking in China. Please do not login with your CIMB Online Banking username and password, else the next thing you will see in your bank balance is RM0.00 :)

Malaysia relevant authority has requested local ISPs to block particular website, but how many can we block if there is another www.maybank2u.com.cn coming up :D I think first and foremost is to educate internet user do not fell into any SCAM/PHISHING website, especially something related to banking.

ssh dynamic port tunnelling

useful when using insecure links with a ssh server you can access :

ssh -ND<port on localhost> username@remote-ssh-server

e.g. ssh -ND8080 myusername@192.168.1.1

*** when using firefox, only specify “localhost” in SOCKS Host, port “8080″ & choose “SOCKS 5″ in “connection settings” and leave the other settings blank.

mail rejects, deleted & queue in periodic.conf

By default, after exim successfully configured and run, it sends out Megabytes of mail queue to the root mailbox. It can be annoying when using a slow download line. e.g. PSTN & ISDN dialup, 3G internet access & etc.

To stop receiving those mail queues, specify “daily_status_mailq_enable=”NO”" in /etc/periodic.conf .

*** parameters are not only store/listed in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, check out the scripts in :

  • /etc/periodic/daily/*
  • /etc/periodic/weekly/*
  • /etc/periodic/monthly/*
  • /etc/periodic/security/*
  • /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/*
  • /usr/local/etc/periodic/weekly/*
  • /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/*
  • /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/*

split – but no destination parameter to specify

first :

cd /destination/directory

second :

split /source/directory/big-huge-file prefix-to-apply-onto-splited-files

Voila !!!

(use the parameter -b to specify the size of splited files in BYTES, NOT kb, mb or gb)

cron & time zone

after changing time zone (tzsetup), restart cron (/etc/rc.d/cron restart) to let it know the changes or else the cron jobs will use the previous time zone.
