Title: Self-Contained Linux Miner Post by: genpayne on April 24, 2013, 09:39:31 PM Long story short I have non-root access to a very large number of networked machines.
Whilst the admins probably wouldn't approve of them being used in this way, there is nothing in the terms of use to stop me. I expect if they notice the workload (and they didn't notice a brute force attack on a friends password for a bet, or ever bother contacting me or the owner of the account involved when a prank went wrong and a fork bomb took down the remote access server) worst case would result in a "Don't do that again" and an amendment to the rules. The machines will also probably be left running but unused (idiotic i know, not my doing) for a couple of months. They are mostly running x64 Enterprise Linux. Are there any self-contained linux miners (no dependencies)? If not could anyone offer assistance in local installing the necessary packages so a miner (say cpuminer) could use them? I know its possible but i'm a little rusty. Happy to offer 10% of anything I make to anybody that could give me a full script to set everything up on a machine (although how much that would be I have no clue, nor when it would come except *before mid august*). Thanks Payne Title: Re: Self-Contained Linux Miner Post by: ZeroPAiN on April 24, 2013, 09:44:01 PM Not sure if y ou've seen this guide (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CFEQFjAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1Gw7YPYgMgNNU42skibULbJJUx_suP_CpjSEdSi8_z9U%2Fedit&ei=YFJ4UYGQE4XAigLuv4DoDg&usg=AFQjCNFxwK-2xO5wkRAteLeJLPVYd93PVA&sig2=pm8WbtQ-MVU1cZjtNRv1ZA")? It may help.. though I'm completely unknowledgable with things Linux..
Title: Re: Self-Contained Linux Miner Post by: genpayne on April 24, 2013, 09:53:30 PM Thanks, but unfortunately that requires root.
the sudo command on most linux distro's allows you to run another command as the root user. Since I am not on the allowed list for that on this network I can't use it. Title: Re: Self-Contained Linux Miner Post by: ZeroPAiN on April 24, 2013, 10:04:45 PM Ahh - so essentially: a bitcoin mining interface, or program of some sort, that does not require the "sudo" command to be used to initiate it!
TIL :D Title: Re: Self-Contained Linux Miner Post by: genpayne on April 24, 2013, 10:12:43 PM root is like admin. To make any system wide changes you need to use that account.
sudo is like an interface for root. If you have permission to use sudo you can act as root. Now, you can run software not as root. I can download and install a miner. But the miners have dependencies - they need to use other bits of software to run. Say an architect wants to build a house, he still needs a builder. Problem is i dont know how to install those dependencies locally (just on my account) and set it up so that a miner can use them.

Those seem like a feasible option if I cant get a proper miner working! |
