System Requirements:
- Minimum memory: 4MB
- Minimum Diskspace: ~20MB
Opening SSH to the outside world is a security risk. Here is how to restrict SSH access to certain IP addresses on a machine.
- Edit the /etc/hosts.allow file to include these lines, assuming your machine is on the 192.168.2.x nonrouting IP block, and you want to enable an external address of 217.40.111.121 IP block: Remember to add the period on the end of each incomplete IP number. If you have another complete IP address or range, add a space and that range on the end.
sshd,sshdfwd-X11: 192.168.2. 217.40.111.121
- Edit your /etc/hosts.deny file to include this line:
sshd,sshdfwd-X11:ALL
- These lines refuse SSH connections from anyone not in the IP address blocks listed.
Additionally you can restrict SSH access by username.
- Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add the following lines
PermitRootLogin no
AllowUsers user1 user2 user3 etc
PasswordAuthentication yes
Now restart the ssh daemon for these changes to take effect
service sshd restart
- edit the .vmx file and add the following line
uuid.action = "keep"
- set the virtual machine to power off when vmware is stopped. Do not set this to "suspend" or it will not restart on the backup machine.
iptables -I INPUT -j ACCEPT -p tcp --destination-port 8001 -i lo
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --destination-port 8001 -i eth0
// declare some simple procedures
proc display(cArg)
echo "display=" + cArg
endproc
proc show(cArg)
echo "show=" + cArg
endproc
// create an object based on an anonymous class
myobj = new object()
// add some properties
myobj["name"] = "barry"
myobj["company"] = "recital"
// now declare an anonymous method
myobj["mymethod"] = display
// call the method
myobj.mymethod("hello world") // displays "display=hello world"
// redeclare the method
myobj["mymethod"] = show
// call the method
myobj.mymethod("hello world") // displays "show=hello world"
Where this becomes particularly useful is when you have a procedure that calls anonymous methods in order to process data. This technique can be used to call anonymous procedures in your code.
proc processdata(oArg)
oArg.mymethod(oArg.name)
endproc
proc show(cArg)
echo "show=" + cArg
endproc
myobj = new object()
myobj["name"] = "barry"
myobj["mymethod"] = show
processdata(myobj) // displays "show=barry" Privacy Policy

Here's how to set up field validation for a field with a small static number of acceptable values.
Using the example.dbf table from the southwind sample database, validation can be added to the title field to ensure it matches one of a list values.
open database southwindThe inlist() function checks whether the specified expression exists in the comma-separated list which follows. An attempt to update title with a value not in the list will give an error: Validation on field 'TITLE' failed.
alter table example add constraint;
(title set check inlist(alltrim(title),"Miss","Mr","Mrs","Ms"))
If you have access to the Recital Workbench, you can use the modify structure worksurface to add and alter your dictionary entries, including a customized error message if required.
I am a fan of the previous incarnation of the PlugComputer so I was excited to see that Marvell have unveiled a new PlugComputer dubbed imaginatively "PlugComputer 3.0."
PlugComputer 3.0 Features:
Smaller sleeker design,
More powerful CPU - 2gz Armanda 300 CPU,
120GB 1.8-inch SATA hard drive,
Wifi,
Bluetooth,
10/100/1000 wired Ethernet,
USB 2.0.
512MB of RAM
512MB of Flash memory
I for one would like to see an additional Ethernet port added to increase application flexibility, for some applications where you are using clustered plugs or even for routing, having multiple Ethernet ports is a must.
Even without multiple ethernet ports, these low power consumption devices really could have a place in SME environments, replacing large cumbersome legacy hardware with compact Linux plug servers.
