Read-only Servers We Can Snoop Around on for Tips?
Hello folks,
I've been thinking about a trend I wish existed. I'm wondering if this
currently exists at all. I don't have any friends into Linux, really, and I
definitely don't know anyone else that I can talk to for free that's into
Debian.
I wish there was an open Debian box out there somewhere with a login and
password that was freely available. That way, you could get on the server,
look at all the configuration files and special modifications and apply them
to your own setup.
Let's say that I'm having a little trouble setting up a name server ... or I
just want to know how others have set theirs up. I could just hop on one of
these open servers and look at their whole configuration. The user wouldn't
have enough priviliges to rm any files or write or run anything, just the
ability to read files and list directory contents.
As for a trend, it'd be nice if every distro had a few machines like this
... like a Redhat webserver ... or a Mandrake qmail server, etc.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Does it sound like a good idea? If
this kind of thing exists, can you please point me in the right direction?
If this kind of thing doesn't really exist, but you think it's interesting,
would any of you care to make such an account on any of your machines?
Good account name:
l: debianvisitor (or something like that)
p: [same as username] or "letmein" or something
Unfortunately, since I'm still at upper-newbie level, I can't see myself
properly setting up a machine like this yet. I'm afraid that someone would
use it to relay mail or launch attacks or whatever, you know.
Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you all.
-Christian
