Still looking for a proper fix to the networking thing, by proper I mean without reducing functionality.

Anyone that comes up with one, please let me know and we'll push out a fix.


I experienced the network issue for the last couple days. We fixed it by setting infinite leases for ip addresses. I know this doesn't fix the issue, but it at least keeps miners running.

well crap..  if i remove the network manager that seems to be causing this, the people with wireless devices will cry.  but atm thats the only "fix", besides setting static ips which sucks.

ps did anyone ever get a machine that does this that I can ssh into while it's broke (second nic that works)?

I'm trying out BAMT right now. This far, it works great!

So someone was able to login to my box and create users.  I'm not sure how they did it as I have a rather long root password.  They made multiple users and then fetched a file "gosh.tgz" and extracted it in /tmp/ and /dev/shm/ and /home//.bash_history/

The location was different for each user.  gosh contains some scripts and BNC, an IRC bouncer.  They also stuck an entry in root's cron to run a script in /dev/shm/ to clear the user's history.

I'm going to build a new BAMT key, but for now I just looked at the histories of all of the new users (except the one that replaced .bash_history with a folder) to figure out where they stuck files and then deleted all the new users (easy to identify in /etc/passwd) and then edited /etc/sshd_config to only allow root without-password, so now my miner can only be logged into with a key.  

How much of the system was exposed to the internet? Like all ports or were you doing some port forwarding?
port 22 and 80 are all that are open. It's running ufw

I'm guessing they either cracked my root password or somehow broke in through munin.

It was clearly a person and not a script.  There were typos in .bash_history lol.  Things like ";s" instead of "ls"

Well the various scripts and whatnot are certainly not well audited for security flaws.  we don't have the budget for that type of thing Smiley

the good news is that short of disrupting your mining (which hopefully you would notice) there isn't really anything someone can do with a compromised box.  not like we store any actual btc or any credentials that matter on them.  bamt rigs are designed to be "disposable" not indestructible.

I got another problem,I am using powerline ,but after couple hours,the  network  disconnected, and it won't reconnect,I have to do it manually,anybody has anycode can check the connection and can reconnect automatically?
thanks everyone!


solved loss network problem by following this link:

Has there been a patch yet for the network issue?
No official BAMT patch, just this workaround:

You really shouldn't mess with core_speed_0 or core_speed_1, though.

I know it's a no no, but I'm a control and order freak. I'd of deleted all the other crap if I knew fuxianhui888 wasn't going to use it too.

fuxianhui888, if you want just put # in front of core_speed_0-1 and mem_speed_0-1.

My thoughts are to uncomment the mem_0 and mem_1 lines, and then comment out the change in voltage.

Post your config.  Are you overclocking? If so, reduce your clocks.

Code:
# Big A Miner Thing configuration
# /etc/bamt/bamt.conf
#
# When done editing, restart mining to make changes here take effect
# If you're just setting up BAMT, be sure to edit pools as well.
#
# As of 0.5, many less common options have been removed from this
# default config to make it easier on the noobs.
#
# You will find a complete example with all options described
# at /opt/bamt/examples/bamt.conf
#
# Note: This is a YAML file.  Indentation is significant.
#
# If you break things badly, a backup of this file in it's original
# form can be found at /opt/bamt/examples/bamt.conf.simple
