Okay, so my graduate school is ******ed. They changed over from Cisco clean access to Aruba Dissolvable agent. Under Cisco a linux machine just had to web logon because they knew we were not a security risk, under Aruba the software has to be installed, and they claim it can be installed on a linux device. The file is a *.sh, and in my understanding that is a script file essentially. The problem is, even using gainroot, the file does not do anything.

sudo ./ aruba.sh
does not do anything. It does not give me any feedback either. Am I doing something wrong, or will it just not work with the processor on the n800?

The space between the slash and "aruba.sh" is just a typo you made here, right? If not, you might want to give the script another try--without that unnecessary space.

Yes, .sh would indicate a script. You should be able to "more aruba.sh" to read it. For that matter, you should be able to open and read it in any text editor you like. If whatever copyright notice might be at the top of the file doesn't seem to prohibit such a thing, you might also be able to share the script here for feedback on whether it is going to attempt to do Tablet-compatible things.

Okay, well I looked at the script using the "more" command (the space was a typo, sorry bout that). It seems to try to determine the browser that Im using, well I don't really know it just lists several browsers, along with some code that I do not fully understand. I do not see a copyright mentioned anywhere. Past the first few lines it becomes all symbols, with very few letters.


If their is no copy right notice would it be okay to link to it or post it?

Hmm. If there's no copyright notice, it might be okay to copy the initial, non-gibberish lines here. I expect those first lines work some quick magic to determine some characteristics of the Linux system on which the script is running, and based upon that, the script then decodes the gibberish lines into one or more binaries that are placed on the system in appropriate places. Most likely, if the script even works that far on the tablets, the binaries will fail because they'll be for x86.

That's just a guess though. I can't say for sure until I see the script. (And maybe not even then. I've never done much work with shell scripts.)

ah, I see, I thought that might be the case. Before when I had talked to the network people I told them it was a embedded linux device. I went and talked to them again and just told them it was a nokia device (they probably think its a phone) and I got it what they call "whitelisted" I can now log on, thanks for your help though.
