I assume you are port forwarding to you peon (please tell me your not running it on the internet).

But yeah, ssh guard is the way to go.


Yeah port forwarding for ssh. I suppose switching ssh port would also help a lot to get rid of all those bot attempts to connect.

I was checking out my ssh logs and noticed a lot of failed authentication attempts

Code:
grep "authentication failure" /var/log/auth.log

What would be the best option to just ban those IP addresses? I was checking out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DenyHosts which seems like a great option. Any opinions?

Edit: Oops, just tried to install it then noticed this

Note: As of July 2011, DenyHosts is no longer available in the official repositories. Useful alternatives are fail2ban and sshguard.

After a bit more reading, I am trying out sshguard: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshguard

Wow!!!  That has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen!
Thanks!

Is it all your own work?  Can you give me a licence it me (& sources) I want to plaster it all over minepeon and make it the official logo!
Yup, it's mine design, use it freely...

If I had not already depleted the minpeon funds with wireless dongles and SD cards I would be sending you some coins!

You have successfully guilted me into working out the last few bugs I have with the privilege separation and release the next version in a few days (been a bit under the weather after a bout of pneumonia).

Thanks

the pictures of the small black boxes, are those FPGAs?

Yep, mostly BFL Singles, but there are a few ZTEX and ModMiners out there that are working off MinePeon.

Unfortunately no ASIC's yet but the plan is to support them on release (Kano from cgminer and LukeJr from bfgminer are both hard at work on supporting them).

It looks like there is data already stored somewhere, as in that file didn't get emptied before the image was made or something. It's showing several weeks worth. Is there a way to reset the data? And after running for a bit, they don't seem to be updating with my data.

There are a few problems with the graphs, they were only released last build and I have a TON of fixes. I also left some data in there from my GPU mining so people would not open to empty graphs. 

If you want to do away with my data all you need to do is delete /opt/minepeon/http/rrd/mhsav.rrd and it 'might' make you a new data file (there are bus that I have fixed, not sure on this one in the older versions).  Also, when you upgrade you should grab a copy of this file to put on your new install to keep your data (/opt/minepeon/etc/miner.conf as well).

Dropped my custom myminer.php in the /opt/minepeon/http dir and it's all dialed with my color theme.  Cool

Cool, Kano has done a lot of good work on miner.php and it is fully customisable, perhaps you may want to leak me a copy back of your changes.  Tongue

Also, had a weird thing about the title bar not showing "Settings  Stats  About  Contact  License" across the top in Chrome on Win7x64, worked fine in IE 10 and from my Ubuntu running Chromium so I'm guessing it's some scripting I disabled or something.

I will point my winbox at it to see if I can spot anything.

Do you know if there will be any issues with upgrading to cgminer 2.11.2 and the new USB drivers?

I have it running on my testbox, no issues as far as I can tell, I have half a mind to switch to Kano's git for cgminer just so I can keep up the latest lib-usb stuff but every time I think of it ckolivas has just done a git-pull making it unnecessary.

Thanks!

Your welcome!

I've tested this out with a couple BFL's and it is pretty cool for a tight little Pi distro. Grin  Great job. I did have a question about the Graphs.

I connected small 7" lcd on rpi composite port, but its blanking after 10min of innactivity, how do disable blanking?

I've tried to put line
setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0
in
/etc/rc.local

but that didn't worked...

Hi maxi75,

I have never plugged in a monitor to my Pi (Composite or HDMI) so I have no idea :p .
...
When mine didn't work first go (coz of the SD card I used) I plugged it into a 40" HDMI 1080p screen Smiley
It comes up 1360x768 - reconnected it to HDMI a short while ago and took a couple of pics ... reason? To take a couple of pics Smiley

Works perfect Cool

Excellent, I thought it will.  I will include it in the next build just because your setup looks sooooo cool!!

Now you have me hunting around for a 7" LCD!

Hi maxi75,

I have never plugged in a monitor to my Pi (Composite or HDMI) so I have no idea :p .

I do know however it wont work from /etc/rc.local, I would imagine you should be modifying /etc/issue to modify the console 'login' message, if you try something like;-

sudo echo -ne "\033[9;0]" >> /etc/issue

It should turn off screen blanking for all consoles and vttys.  If you want to try that I will also give it a go when I get back to my Pi.

On other things, I am hard at work and nearly have the privilege separation from root all figured out.  As soon as I get that done it will be time for a new release.

Thanks for your help again!

P.S, Love the photo, I might steal that!

I don't know if its just me, but you may have lost the graphs updating on latest release. miner.php works, but no the one with the graph charts. Lost something in the switch off root user?

Update: MinePeon-2013-02-21.img

Early release in order fix a problem that stopped the miner configuration being saved between boots.  There are a few changes though;-

No root Logon: From now on login as minepeon/peon and sudo, root has been disabled.

tmux, htop, and nload: As per user request.

HTTPS: Installed and configured with a self signed certificate, no security as of yet though.
