tsocks' role is to allow non SOCKS aware applications (e.g telnet, ssh, ftp etc) to use SOCKS without any modification. It does this by intercepting the calls that applications make to establish network connections and negotating them through a SOCKS server as necessary. apt-get install tsocks Edit the file: “/etc/tsocks.conf”

server_port = 1080

You can check your current timezone by just running

Or checking the timezone file at

So to change it just run

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

And follow on screen instructions. Easy.

Also be sure to restart cron as it won’t pick up the timezone change and will still be running on UTC.

/etc/init.d/cron stop
/etc/init.d/cron start

The Network Time Protocol daemon

The ntp daemon ntpd calculates the drift of your system clock and continuously adjusts it, so there are no large corrections that could lead to inconsistent logs for instance. The cost is a little processing power and memory, but for a modern server this is negligible. Installation

To install ntpd, from a terminal prompt enter:

sudo apt-get install ntp

Configuration

Edit /etc/ntp.conf to add/remove server lines. By default these servers are configured:

# Use servers from the NTP Pool Project. Approved by Ubuntu Technical Board
# on 2011-02-08 (LP: #104525). See http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html for
# more information.
server 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
server 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
server 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
server 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org

After changing the config file you have to reload the ntpd:

sudo /etc/init.d/ntp reload

View status

Use ntpq to see to see more info:

sudo ntpq -p

Monitor TCP traffic

tcpdump  -i eth0 -nq host 216.239.32.20
