I need a rule that will allow me to send back all traffic on port 1723 to an arbitrary, non-gateway box on the private network with all packet information intact.

The machine I need to target is acting as a gateway just for this port though it is not configured as a standard interface gateway. Things are set up this way to avoid putting in a work request to get the phone company to charge its router, sitting on client side. I need the box with the open port just to sit in the middle and forward traffic between the server and client.

The middleman is a Windows machine, but I believe it is configured correctly. Watching Wireshark, my Linux machine never sends it back the data though ip_forward is 1 and I have a DNAT rewrite rule in nat PREROUTING. :(

I am importing an old certificate database into the new CA on a new server I'm installing. I am warned by Windows that I can't change the computer name, domain settings, etc., after installing the CA. However, I may need to change the name or domain settings if they appear incorrect and the certificates that are already installed no longer work. In the event that this happens, I can uninstall the CA roles, delete the new database from the machine, etc., and try again with my copy of the old server's certificates.

Does anyone know how I can ensure that I will be able to do this successfully if necessary? Does Windows just give up the lock if I remove the CA roles?

How can I dd an image of a single partition out of a full-disk image? I know skip and count, but I am supposed to divide by bs, and since this is the first partition, it's start point is early in the image and dd says the number is not valid for skip. After playing around a bit, I get an image that's roughly the right size but parted can't read it. I also tried without a bs (bs=1 presumably), and this also appears to copy the right amount of data, but parted still can't read the image.

I can mount with offset but I want the whole partition block and I don't know if mounting and dding the mountpoint is going to give me something suitable to copy directly back onto the disk. I just want to restore a single partition to the disk and leave the others alone. I'd like to split the partition into its own image file first so I can confirm it looks the way I want.

It seems the common method for installing a new SSL certificate for a site on IIS 6 is to create a temporary site, generate a CSR with the parameters of the real site, and then fulfill that CSR when the certificate is given.

This is all well and good, but I foolishly deleted the temporary site too early -- I deleted it after the CSR was generated and before I received the real certificate. I still have the CSR used and the certificate. Is there a way to get IIS to allow me to install this? Can I add the certificate to the registry manually or something? I really don't want to go through another reissue process.

Thanks in advance.

I have a client that is vastly overpaying for shared server space considering the deal they have set up, but since they use DotNetNuke and were set up on Windows by the previous IT guy, they have to use a Windows server for now. This sucks because I don't know any good shared Windows hosts. Where can I find good shared Windows hosting at a reasonable price?

^C no longer issues a sigint in any application I've tried. I'm using ArchLinux. This is highly bad and I need it fixed. All help appreciated.

EDIT: So, we've found that ^C is sending a SIGINT, but most things are ignoring it. This problem only exists within X; ^C on a real tty seems to be honored as expected. VLC responds to ^C within X, but I can't find anything else which does. A manual SIGINT via kill -2 seems to be ignored, too.
