...e any way to achieve what I want through AMP. Would I be better off going back to a hand-knitted extensions.conf, and if I do, am I right in assuming that the approach I need to take is two separate contexts - one for each business? Or can AMP hack this application? Best, --- Les Bell [http://www.lesbell.com.au]

I believe that only

What are the ramifications to a large key length when using pub/priv keys for ssh authentication. I have some remote admin and file transfers to manage and only have ssh access w/o vpn to use for it. Thanks, jlc

I am using a number of DHCP devices on a network. Working fine with CentOS 5 x86_64. My question is now how do I tell the DNS (after I get my DHCP address) about my devices name and IP address so that others can find me by my machine name? I thought that was an automatic thing - but it appears not. Thanks, Jerry

Well, there's so few going right now that I'm showing 38 days to get the DVD. My normal dnld from a mirror travels appx. 600Mb/sec. I'll wait until most of the U.S. goes home before I give up and use the normal download though. Here's hoping... -- Bill

Hi All, I am looking for information on when CentOS 5 will be available for IA64. I found this forum posting but no responses http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8714&forum=45 I am looking to perform a large migration of about 500 workstations from various Suse and Red Hat versions to CentOS to standardize some what. Because I have to support x86 (32 & 64) and

just wanted to get some feedback from the community. Over the last few days I have noticed my web server and email box have attempted to ssh'd to using weird names like admin,appuser,nobody,etc.... None of these are valid users. I know that I can block sshd all together with iptables but that will not work for us. I did a little research on google and found programs like sshguard and

I can ssh into a remote machine. I can start X on that machine with startx How do I then start firefox on that machine (from the ssh prompt) and have it display on my machine in my office.

Hi List :) So, I have a folder1, its owner is user1 who has r+w on the folder.

You can see these permissions below: [user2 at host test]$ ls -l drw-r----- 3 user1 user2 28 Nov 2 16:17 folder1 How ever user2 can not

I persuaded a reluctant friend to buy a new computer. I enthusiastically extolled the joys and benefits of Centos and promised to install it on his new machine - dual booting with Micro$oft Windoze 7. His super-duper new laptop arrived. Acer, AMD 4 core, fast etc. but not as nice looking as my impressive HP DV5. The wireless refused to connect. After 8 hours on Saturday I could sometimes see

hi all, I have gone through the process of self signing certificates. Aside from the pop-ups about not trusted etc... everything appears to work. For "internal" applications what do people/places do? It would be nice to be seamless and have the "your not trusted" window pop-up. Yet this is not a public web site either. Just internal use. The server might be on the internet

Hi, I am wondering how I would interpret the "load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00" within the uptime.
