Easy! I can provide photos if interested {[myname] at gmail dot com} Using PuTTY on Linux works fine, too. Thanks so much for all your advice on this. Now the fun starts in earnest!

I only used it to work out the pinout of the cable. From reading up there seem to be several different variations of the CA-42 cable available as well as 'compatible' cables so its always best to check. Yes your right, that end was thrown away.

Just what I needed as I'm about to flash my Pogoplug. For the avoidance of doubt, in the first photo in the 'Constructing the Cable' section you showed the wire colours of the CA42 socket you cut off and threw away, right?

But it still serves as a reminder to keep up to date with the latest patches. I wonder how many Moveable Type sites are out there that still haven't upgraded their linux kernel to protect against this particular exploit? True, there isn’t much you can do about a 0-day exploit.
