Re: Trying to run expect from web page

This all sounds very insecure to me, especially if you're going to share details on its implementation online.

I'd use VPN, failing that SSH.

Cheers,

You might have better luck with this on a PHP forum/list.

You would also need to provide more information. For example: where are you running the knock-3-times vs. the "expect" script; can you share more of the source (not here, since this is not a PHP list); what works or does not work - not counting this line; what version of apache,php and what security features might you have enabled; etc.

I'm going on vacation and want to check in to my server.  I've written a knock-3-times.php webpage with the idea of then running an expect script to: telnet modem, echo iptables nat -s $IP etc.  which would allow me get in to my server.

The expect script runs just fine but in the page:  exec ("<path>/modfirewall.exp");  does nothing - it's as if the line is #exec ("...  commented out.  Suggestions?

Thanks
