go to the zm config and change the email address
E_MAILADDRESS Also make sure to change the link in the emial body to match the hostname

Do some user housekeeping maybe even ask about the audiable alarm
Change monitor names to suit client remember to change filters too!

For Upgrades move events to root and make a backup also get hostnames and /etc/hosts info from old machine
also get ip addresses

 

Other places (like the clients router) that need to be setup

Configure the router to port forward my defaults are

20080 for sks console
20022 for ssh
25900 for x11vnc
23306 for mysql

also turn on remote admin for the router if possiable.

add a dns record to the surveillanceking.net domain
add an email acount to match

add viewer to important machines

x11vnc sweet goodness

install x11vnc pacman -Sy x11vnc

make sure someone is logged into an X session

login as the same user

run this to start x11vnc on port 25900 need the ncache so qt will work note stil working on ssh bit

x11vnc -ncache_cr -display :0 -rfbport 25900 -usepw x11vnc -ncache_cr -ssl SAVE_NOPROMPT -display :0 -rfbport 25900 -usepw
