i am not well-versed in matters of security, so i come here seeking wisdom. here's the scenario: you have a server running tomcat. it's got apache configured to do reverse-proxying and https-serving magic. is the traffic between apache and tomcat essentially available to anybody who can log onto the server?

one person is saying tomcat should be set up to do https, and then apache (also doing https) should reverse-proxy for tomcat, but that seems weird to me and kind of overkillish

thanks for any help you can give :tipshat:

this is true to a point because for most scenarios you'd need root access but why would you need to protect your webserver from your local users? the point being is that you should never allow untrusted users to log in anyway

another question from a person who knows less than he probably should: will ulimit kill processes that try to take up too much memory, or will it just prevent them from sucking up too much? i'm hoping for the latter

Boot a live cd, mount the filesystems, get the data off, flatten & reinstall.

I've fixed all kinds of boot issues and yours is highly likely recoverable but it's too much :effort:

it won't directly kill them, but of course it depends on how gracefully the program handles ENOMEM errors

I have a thing for courageous dongles

does anyone know of big (45"+) lcd screens with motion sensors on them so they only turn on when someone is by them? we keep putting in these stupid kiosk screens in hallways that are on 24/7 even though nobody gives a single poo poo about them and its loving up our energy reduction targets. also touch-screen enabled

its probably cheaper to find a motion sensor power controller for the existing monitors.

probably but I think quite a few of them are conventional TVs with tuners and I'm not sure how they would handle having power interruptions like that. I suspect the initialization delay will be too much, compared to turning the backlight on/off which is where most your power draw is going anyhow

no one will care is my guess. also if the input is already tuned the tv boot time is probably not much. really what you need is a way to detect the people who care about the kiosks cause they probably don't come round much.

get some sort of HDMI splitter/switch and put its power adapter on the motion sensor so it goes to no input. most modern tvs should sleep p quick

if you have sensor lights could you wire the tvs onto the same sensor? What I mean is that maybe the whole hallway of tvs should turn on instead of each tv individually, less granular could be better

Nothing is consistent here. We have over 100 buildings with that kind of kiosk poo poo jammed in them over the years and I need something that can retrofit on to existing equipment for <$100. Disrupting the video signal with a motion sensor seems like the best bet and hopefully most of the displays will play nice and go to sleep all on their own.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
my tv goes to sleep if the connection drops when it's on the vga input, but not on the hdmi or component or whatever. i had to get back in the habit of turning the tv off when i started using hdmi instead
