Hi,<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m trying to repair a remote system using the Live CD.</div><div>I have VPN access to the subnet where it lives.</div><div><br></div><div>An onsite person is booting from cd, and running a small script I </div>
<div>provided to tweak the default firewall rule set to allow incoming ssh,</div><div>and set a password for the centos user and start sshd</div><div><br></div><div>so far so good I can remotely access the system.</div><div>
<br></div><div>the problem is the live cd environment is very fragile.</div><div><br></div><div>I need to rebuild the contents of a couple filesystems,</div><div>so I need to umount them and remount them rw.</div><div><br>
</div><div>If I make a mistake in a mount command instead of giving</div><div>an error message and letting me try again.  The system</div><div>freezes and any other ssh session freezes, ahnd will not</div><div>accept any more incoming ssh connections. the only way</div>
<div>I have found to recover is have the onsite person reboot</div><div>from cd and rerun the script allowing incoming ssh again.</div><div><br></div><div>Hmm.  I should try to talk the onsite person through trying</div><div>
something else from the console.</div><div><br></div><div>Argghhh!!! This is more than just an annoyance.</div><div><br>-- <br>Drew Einhorn<br><br>&quot;You can see a lot by just looking.&quot; <br>  --  Yogi Berra<br>
