From the Class Notes link on the Course Home Page ================================================= - [Course Home Page] - [All Weeks] - Review last week. Did you do everything assigned last week? From the Classroom Whiteboard/Chalkboard ======================================== - **Take notes in class!** Your in-class notes would go here. Hand-write your notes --------------------- > But it turns out there are still advantages to doing things the > old-fashioned way. For one thing, research shows that laptops and tablets > have a tendency to be distracting --- it's so easy to click over to > Facebook in that dull lecture. And a study has shown that the fact that you > have to be slower when you take notes by hand is what makes it more useful > in the long run. Fifteen minute rule ------------------- Your time as a student is valuable. See the [Week 03 Notes HTML]. Commands -------- Keep a notebook with a [List of Commands][List of Commands You Should Know] in it. - You need to write down yourself what each command *does*. - I will check for this list in your lab periods. - Check the updated list of commands each week. Locked out ---------- The CLS will lock out your IP address if you can't type your own userid correctly. If this happens, you have to follow the posted directions to have me unlock your IP address. You can change to another IP address. You can always come to school where no IP addresses are locked out. Attacks on the Course Linux Server ---------------------------------- - Count the attacks: `fgrep -c "refused connect" /var/log/auth.log` - Another way to count the attack lines (slightly less efficient): `fgrep "refused connect" /var/log/auth.log | wc` - See the current list of *evil* host IPs: `less /etc/hosts.evil` ![Take Notes in Class] -- | Ian!
