The Owned Networks

Shell access is temporarily down due to ISP issues. We are working on getting it back online.

Edit: After working with our ISP, the server is back online now. We apologize for the downtime and thank you for your patience.

We now offer SSH access on port 443 in addition to port 22. This port can be used on some networks which block port 22 as an alternate way of accessing shell services.

Screen is a program that emulates a terminal so you can disconnect and reconnect to screen sessions without closing them. This allows you to effectively multi-task while in a console environment as well as save your work between sessions.

One of our administrators, damnfs, wrote this tutorial on using Screen.

We now have an IRC channel on Freenode. All users are welcome to join in at any time:

irc.freenode.net #theowned

User http access has now been activated. To turn http on for your account, please run /bin/http_enable.

This will create a 'public_html' directory in your home folder which will hold the contents of your website. It will also change your home folder permissions to allow the public_html folder to be readable.

You can access your site at:

http://theowned.net/~user

Where user is your username.

After just 20 days of service we are pleased to announce that we just broke 100 total users! Congrats to the staff and active members.
