    Update to the latest oscam, preferably one that you know is somewhat stable, and when you say it crashed, was it oscam/cccam or the pc that stopped responding

    I just re-read your last post, please check if you actually have a password setup for root as you look to be logged in


    Code
    root@server1

    When I connect to my ubuntu server I use putty, I login with the normal user then switch to root as you can see below



    I only edited my username and server ip in that and as you can see im logged in as root
    Have you tried putty ? if not you can get it here > Download PuTTY - a free SSH and telnet client for Windows


    can i run 50m of ethernet between the houses


    1)
    not really as max is 20 meters



    50 metres will be no problem with the correct cable




    Some info that may help


    maximum lengths for cables


    For Solid UTP:
    Fast Ethernet 100baseT 100 Meters (328 feet)
    Twisted Pair Ethernet 10baseT 100 Meters (328 feet)




    Recommended maximum lengths for Patch Cables made from stranded cable:
    Fast Ethernet 100baseT 10 Meters (33 feet)
    Twisted Pair Ethernet 10baseT 10 Meters (33 feet)



    Can I run CAT-5e ethernet cable outside?


    CAT-5e cable is not rated for outdoor use, however it can generally be used without a problem.
    If possible, run the cable through some kind of conduit to prevent moisture
    Remember, 100 Meters is your max distance, without some kind of hub, bridge or amplification.

    oscam configs on my ubuntu server are in
    /usr/local/etc


    the oscam bin file is in
    /usr/local/bin


    I don't use CCcam now but your bin file could be in a few places depending on setup
    try these locations


    /usr/bin
    /usr/local/bin
    /usr/local/etc


    and your CCcam.cfg should be in /etc or /var/etc

    Would 2GB ram not be very slow?


    Nope, back in the day when sharing was good (no fakers) my 1st debian CCcam server was a pentium 3, 10gb HDD and 256mb ram, had hundreds of shares and ran just fine.
    Some peeps go way overboard with pc specs for their servers


    i dont understand how i would manage my family and friends lines if there all have the saame line how ill i know whos who?
    or am i missing the point?



    They dont have all the same lines
    If you using CCcam to share then in your CCcam.cfg add similar to below just change the usernames & passwords


    F: mydm500 my500password
    F: dad dadspassword
    F: brother brotherspassword
    F: sister sisterspassword



    So take the 1st line, a dm500 on your local network you would have this c line
    Assuming your servers ip is 192.168.1.10 and you share on port 12000, change accordingly


    C: 192.168.1.10 12000 mydm500 my500password


    Then your dads c line would look like this


    C: birdmansdnsaddy 12000 dad dadspassword


    Also don't forget to port forward your sharing port in your router

    Giving re-shares is a sure way to overload and damage your cards
    For an example if you give a re-share to 3 guys and each of them has 10 other guys they share with then there is a possibility that your card could have 30 viewing at the same time, now that's simple maths
    Imagine giving a re-share to 10 guys and some of them could have 30 plus clients, Im sorry but I've said it before cardsharing was not designed for that, it should be a share for a share, no re-share, protect your card and yourself.

    You have 28 clients and 2 sly cards, why do you need to exchange cache with anyone ?
    Those 2 cards are only ticking over with 28 clients in csp


    Code
    Connectors: 2
    Sessions: 28 (active: 24)

    Although "Thanks" are appreciated by most it serves most forums better if after you learn something you then help someone else in return somewhere in the future.
    Over the years I've seen many who know a lot help a little, so next time you see someone looking for help and you know the answer, start typing :)
