Good mornig all! It's over two months since I've been kicked out of Metalab :( Lurking the mailinglist, though. My question to all the security geeks, Pauli, Kiff^H^H^H^HClifford(excuse the pun ;-),.. I finally managed to pseudo-brick my N770. Stupidly, I changed /etc/hostname and 'forgot' to edit /etc/hosts Now sudo's broken(sudo: unable to lookup aware770 via gethostbyname()) Seems my last two commands as root on this instantiation of the firmware were: vim /etc/hostname;exit ..DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! :o) Or does anybody have some exploit in his pocket, that spares me to reflash the device via USB? The firmware should be updated anyway, I'm ogling with the 'Hacker Editions'.. greetings to all that did not 'not want me here' mih -- 'aware water' is an anagram for 'we are at war'

aah, the N770 guy! o hai. This was a [lapse|mistake|collateral damage|you name it] at that time when the lab got increasingly crowded by (alleged) annoying or at least uncommunicative/ lethargic folks and homeless ppl that weren't interested in Metalabs intrinsic intention of hacking stuff, innovation, interdisciplinary and social exchange (buzz word alert?) but causing discomfort and gloom for some regular members. They didn't show up so frequently as they used to and didn't express their concerns in a broader circle either. The ones the talked about it called it the hippie discussion ("hippie" with negative connotation, not in its original meaning) Some regulars that returned from vacation or business trips were faced with inactive people that they didn't know and it seemed they were unrelated to other regulars as well. Unfortunately the outbreak of this anxiety (after a longer summer pause of jour fixe meetings) formed a nasty mob that wanted the chairman to "do something with the situation, immediately" and you was there as the only person that wasn't broader known by a former reasonably grown community and became the sacrificial lamb. When I came into the lab and got attention I could clarify that you are nice guy, that you would be fitting perfectly into the mixture of the existing members and even fetched a printed form to apply for membership after some 14 days you visited the lab for the first time. Paul didn't abstain to stand up and looking after you to apologize for this unpleasant behaviour but you've already left the lab. :-( As we didn't know your name and how to reach you I asked some LUGA folks who might have been in contact with you earlier but with no avail. :-( I'm no spokesperson but let me say sorry in the name of the lab. There have been some lessons learned and you're very welcome if you ever want to drop by.
greetings to all that did not 'not want me here' mih
cheers, Peter PS: Warum eigentlich nicht Deutsch? ;-) PPS: ssh auf localhost? Eher nicht, oder?
