Amahi Forums

Hi All,

This is my first post and I have to say that Amahi is a super cool product. Having said that I am a bit concerned and I am hoping that someone can help me to clarify some strange behaviour.

My background in IT is as a storage and DR specialist, working on EMC Clariion, Dell Equallogic, Compellent and Powervault gear. I am quite strong in Windows/VMware/Hardware but not so much in Linux or with DNS. I just logged into my HDA which I am in the process of building up 2 x MD RAIDS on (Super cool) and discovered a login by a system that does not belong on my network. I looked up the IP and did a Whois and discovered it was from a wierd IP in the bahamas.

I have not yet configured the HDA to take over DNS or DHCP and am behind a firewall with no port forwarding configured so I am wondering how this system/IP was able to gain access to my system.

I am not to keen to proceed with the install unless someone can help me to understand where this login came from. Hopefully I am just being an idiot.

EDIT: I think this may be a wierd DNS entry. I am going to take a closer look and try to figure it out.

BTW Once I am up and running + happy I am stable and secure, I will definitely be making a donation 8D

Thanks,
Christian

Not sure where this would come from and how its related to Amahi. Amahi does does push patches to the platform occasionally, but the servers are located in California. I am not aware of it being capable of logging into systems as your pictures describe.

Hi Bigfoot,

Thanks for your reply. I figured out the issue and that is DNS appears to be working incorrectly and has given my main system 2 separate DNS entries (H005 and USER-PC). I have experience with M$ DNS but linux is a whole new experience for me =)

I suspect that this may be due to 2 reasons.

i. My router DHCP had assigned my PC an IPV6 and IPV4 address.
ii. I ran my HDA for about a day while still using the DHCP and DNS on my router.

I am going to be re-installing anyway as I managed to make a very interesting partition layout for my 2 x 250GB boot drives that are in an MD raid1.

Thanks,
Christian
