My vsftpd was working. I use it configured via xinetd and turn it off (disabled = yes) when I'm not using it to keep the bad guys from hammering on it. Recently I upgraded to 4.2 (via yum update). That' the only change I know of on the system. And I didn't have any problems with it. Today when I try to ftp, i enabled it in xinetd.d (with disable = no and a "service

Hi guys: I'm about to migrate a sever to a managed server facility. I've alwau=ys used tape to backup my server, now that's not an option. I've read abut using rsync to do backups and have several scripts to do same. I believe rsync is a good solution. I am missing some important nuiances though... I would like to have essentially a "mirror" server at my facility (

Hi guys: I'm new to rsync. I have downloaded and read sevral how-to snippits, and the man pages. I got a little confused though trying to figure out how to do what I need. Can someone show me the syntax for doing the following:?

Hi all: logrotate is broken on my stock 4.1 install. After hunting and hunting I found there is a bug filed with Redhat on the issue. logrotate fails becasue my /tmp partition is mounted noexec.

I figure this is an apache issue, but I dont' know where to look. Since moving my website from an older Redhat installation to my new Centos 4 server (all updates installed), all my web pages display a "?" anywhere I have a non-breaking space. If I do a view source in my browser I see the " " character, but when looking at it on my server via ssh, I see a vertical bar,

I'm setting up a postfix server using "The Book of Postfix". In ch 15 there is a section on testing saslauthd which I can't get to work. I can get it to work using shadow password authentication, but it fails on pam. I don't kow squat about troubleshooting pam. Any PAM wizzes out there that can help? I saw a unrelated post talking about something needing to be in the pam
