IPTables: Clear all rules

When you need to clear all rules and set the default police to ACCEPT.

 iptables-save | sed "/-/d;/^#/d;s/DROP/ACCEPT/" | iptables-restore

 This is not permanent. The default rules will be reloaded if IPTables, your firewall or the server is restarted.

Linux: Permanent CIFS/SMB mount

I needed to permanently mount a directory on a Windows server that had spaces in the path. I also wanted to use a credentials file so that the remote server username and password would not be in the world readable fstab file. The following was cobbled together from: Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs and: Mount password protected network folders Create a credentials file (as root) containing the username and password and restrict it's ability to be read by other users (/etc/fstab is world readable). vi /root/.smbcredentials username=someusername password=somepassword Save and exit the file. Change the file permissions to only be readable by root. chmod 600 /root/.smbcredentials Update the fstab file Add the following line to /etc/fstab (spaces are replaced with \040  or the mount will fail) // ip address / c$/Program\040Files/Microsoft\040SQL\040Server/ /var/backups/Server cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0 Exit ...

Find Which Processes are Using Swap

I was doing s ome testing on my Virtuozzo linux VPS and wanted to find what was using the swap. The short version is that processes that have not been used in a long time will be moved into swap to free up RAM. I found the following page with a one-liner to show the running processes and the amount of swap they are using (including processes with 0 kB of swap).  https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-which-process-is-using-swap/  I modified the one-liner to only show processes using swap. for file in $(grep -El "VmSwap:\s+[1-9][[:digit:]]* kB" /proc/*/status) ; do awk '/Name:|VmSwap:/{printf $2 " " $3}END{ print "" }' $file; done | sort -k2nr php-fpm 488792 kB php-fpm 485172 kB php-fpm 475640 kB php-fpm 469504 kB php-fpm 469100 kB php-fpm 462044 kB php-fpm 439604 kB php-fpm 430868 kB php-fpm 410124 kB php-fpm 389892 kB php-fpm 381132 kB php-fpm 380136 kB php-fpm 379988 kB php-fpm 379216 kB php-fpm 316296 kB mysqld 225884 kB php-fpm 92096 kB php-fpm 91...

Google Chrome: Manage Flash Sites

Image
The HTML5 client for VMware is missing some functionality so I need to run the Flash client in Google Chrome. I normally run the Canary or Dev channels of Chrome and the ability to add or block a sites ability to run Flash seems to have disappeared from Settings -> Advanced -> Content Settings -> Flash. It is still there in the Stable channel. My default Flash setting in all is "Ask First", but nothing happens in  Canary and Dev As per the instructions on: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6258784?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en The site needs Flash to work If a website isn’t working, you might need to change your settings to allow Flash. To the left of the web address, click Lock   or Info  . At the bottom, click Site Settings. In the new tab, to the right of "Flash," click Allow. Go back to the site and reload the page.
