gkrellm and security
Hello people,
Today I installed the gkrellm, and the gkrellmlaunch.so plug-in to
start-up
programs using the gkrellm...
I think it's a great alternative (related to easy use) to monitor and
manager remote servers...
I intalled in some not-so critical servers on my network and I liked it
a
lot...
I exported the diplay from one workstation and from there I have my
http,
mysql, ssh, ftp sessions, I can see the file systems, the processors,
temperature, even memory, emails sent to the root...
With the gkrellmlaunch.so plug-in I can initiate a xterm and have direct
access to the server root... I can restart the server itself, restart
processes...
I thought about the following idea:
to install gkrellm and xterm in all the servers (altogether with 15 to
20
packages from them) and to export the display of the servers, to a
"server
display" in the same net, and then to export the display of this "server
display" through a tunniling ssh to a station here in the office...
And to abuse the physical security in the office and xlock
:)
My doubt: there is enough security to make this, or not...
Thanks,
