I now have a separate box running Slackware 7. It has mostly
everything set up but I need to install and configure SOCKS5 in the
most secure way. Any ideas, hints or just starters? 

Another small question. I have john running in the background (two
days now). I ssh from Windows and try to fg it but it says "no such
job". Neither the ID nor %job_name works. How do I bring it to
foreground? This could help with spovray, you know :)

Thanks a lot for any help.

Hm, no idea how to do this with fg/bg at all and make it work. whenever
I tried it crashed, so I just dig out screen and work from there

No idea.

What is john? The only john in my apartment doesn't have or need a
manual page. ;-) What does jobs tell you? What does ps (insert favorite
switches here) tell you? What command line(s) are you entering? I assume
you're using bash...

According to "Using C on the UNIX System" (O'Reilly & Assoc),
it's a little complicated doing this, because the backgrounded
job is no longer in the terminal's process group. They give
an example of how to do it with a C program, but I don't think
that's what you're looking for, and I'm not sharp enough to
be able to make a command-line entry out of the C code in the
book. Sorry.

My starters were dead end, sorry.

Sounds like you had this started with nohup, right? What you would need
to do is reassigning the pipes for stdout, -err, -in. But they should be
of no use to your program, as it is running without them.
Now do I read you right, you would like to get the graphical output of
the SVGA build to your windows ssh shell? No way. SVGA is directly
accessing your local VGA card, no remote operation included.

Following my own post here to make some clarifications.

John is "John the Ripper", a little proggie to crack the md5 for
/etc/shadow. I hate to have a machine running constantly wihtout
having anything to do :))

Now, I am not using nohup to run john (or spovray for that matter). It
is just that they are running on the other consoles and I can't access
them via ssh. How can I see the progress spovray is making, for
example? Out simply, is it possible to peek into another console via
ssh?

If you're redirecting output to file, you can read the file.  That's how
I'd handle s-povray; I don't know enough about how John is put together
to make any recommendations.  Some applications require you to be at The
Console.  My sources suggest there's no way for you to read the tty the
way you have in mind, so I'm inclined to think that file redirection may
be your best bet.

Thanks, Mark. John is working to keep the load near 1.0 because hey
I've paid for the darn CPU why not use it? :) For speed reasons it
only outputs status upon keypress etc. (john -status will only give
uptime, cracking speed and guesses). Anyway, it's not much of an
issue. I was more interested in spovray because it is the only app
(beside john) which I will run in the background for a long time and
will monitor the progres of. Thanks a bunch, I will try it. I bet tail
will do the trick.

If john would speek only on request, you could try to send him some
fuzzy signals. He may be speaking on a 
kill -s CONT
or so.

Just my two cents.
