QuantactDebianVPS

I will put here notes about configuring a debian server hosted at quantact.com. They have xen hosting and offer shell access to the VPS even if its network is down, which avoids being locked up, I'll call it "access from xen host".

I first meddled with the soon to be replaced panel, made vdisks made the debian 3.1 configuration and booted in single user mode, so that no services are running.

First of all, firewall
Access from xen host, get a root prompt.

Block all incoming tcp connections (hope not to lose connection now) # iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --syn -j DROP

Starting the multi user mode #init 5
