How do I reset splunk admin password?
I guess I need access to the file system that Splunk is running on in order to modify the password file.
It does not use database so do I need to change a file/ variable?

If you forgot your admin password you will need access to the file system that Splunk is running on in order to modify the password file. To reset the admin password:
Move the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd file to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/passwd.bak
Restart Splunk. After the restart you should be able to login using the default login (admin/changeme).
If you created other user accounts, copy those entries from the backup file into the new passwd file and restart splunk.

I'm having an issue where I try to SSH into my API server (EC2 instance running Ubuntu). I've been SSH'ing in just fine for the past few weeks, but I suspect I messed something up because now it tells me to login as user ubuntu (I am!) :
% ssh ubuntu#ec2-50-17-143-255.compute-1.amazonaws.com -i ~/dev/key.pem
Please login as the user "ubuntu" rather than the user "root".
Is there something I could have done to mess with the ubuntu user? Is there anyway to resolve this without having to save the AMI and boot up a new instance?
Please use ssh -v ... or ssh -vv ... to see what is going on.
In your case it looks like you copied ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys to ~ubuntu/.ssh/.
According to this, the root account is configured to reject logins with this message using the authorized_keys file. If you copied this file, now the user ubuntu will reject logins with this key, too...

I have some video files stored on S3, and I want to get video information on them using ffmpeg. However, when I do a command such as :
$ ffmpeg -i 'http://test.s2.amazonaws.com/video.mov
I get a HTTP error 403 Forbidden response. How would I do this command? I also want to make sure not anyone can execute stuff on these files. Thank you.
Update: I was able to do this after making the ACL public-read=everyone for the video, didn't need to use s3fs after all.
You have two options:
You can download the file and run ffmpeg on localfile,
or you can use s3fs to mount your s3 bucket as a filesystem.

I am trying to use the scp command but I'm getting the following error:
permission denied
lost connection
I get this when I use scp to copy a file from a master node to a slave node.
This is probably more like your error, ya?
Permission denied (publickey).
lost connection
The simplest problem is that you don't have permissions to access the directories specified on at least one end of the copy operation, or you may just have a bad login.
You could try using sudo chown -R
*username* to make sure you have rights to the target directories on
both ends.
Check your directory specifications, make sure that you are using ~/Documents for instance instead of /Documents. Very different locations.
If you've got a bad login, I can't help you there, sorry. Try just ssh-ing into the target(s) make sure you can.
You could check out the manpage for more help
I think error in giving permission to folder which has the authorized_keys file
use chmod and set the permissions

ssh user#host works (in a script via Apple Terminal)
does anybody know an easier way than ssh-agent to combine the passphrase with the ssh command ?
regards
You can use:
sshpass -p password ssh user#host
However if you wanted the luxory of not typing in your password, I would HIGHLY suggest setting up public/private ssh keys:
http://www.ece.uci.edu/~chou/ssh-key.html
and http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html
This is extremely secure, and very convient.
For scrub just take a look to the configuration files of your installation of open ssh, cause you'll find every single option you can include or deactivete while you connect to the server. There is an option of fusemount for example if you'd like to have your machine conneted to the one in which you're logging in ( i used it with my netbook when they were REAL netbook and not computers). Fusemount is an option when you want more abilities to be added to you computer or you need data from both sides (the one of the server and the one of the client) but security cannot be omitted in any case.
