I need to be able to allow specific system accounts to ftp to a box. As far as I can tell I have to give them a shell in /etc/passwd (i.e. /bin/bash) in order for their ftp login to work. I do *not* however want them to be able to log into a shell or ssh session. I cannot restrict by IP. What's the best way to accomplish this? Thanks, Scott

Software is Centos7, Dovecot 2.2.10 >Use that single mailbox with IMAP, others stay to POP Thanks, I considered that and looked up the ways to restrict IMAP access. But: How will the IMAP account behave with the current mail_location setting below? mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u That is, where will the IMAP account's mail "go"? Right now it goes to

Hi: I am trying to make an application using mysql. When I do rails name -- d mysql, and then run mongrel. I will go to localhost:3000 and when i check my application environment, I get an error We''re sorry something went wrong. Now, when I do the same procedure without using --d mysql and just use the defalt sqllite. When I check my application environment it shows the information.

I''m somewhat of a newbie - played with recent versions of rails a few mths ago, but have decided to start from scratch with 1.0. I want to build my new db as much as possible with migrations, so I watched DHH''s migrations movie from rubyonrails.org. A few things confuse me: 1. He generates the model ("post") before running rake db_schema_dump. Is that necessary or

I'm in the process of setting up subversion and since the version packages with C5 is, shall we say, showing its age, I've built an updated version. In order to do that I had to upgrade sqlite from the default 3.3.6 (which the current subversion will not build with) and I went with 3.6.22. Has anyone else had any experience with whether or not that breaks anything? I'm a little

I wanna push my application straight from Github to Heroku. Everything goes through until it hits the installation of the gems. It can''t install the SQLite3 (local DB). I know Heroku doesn''t use SQLite but I didn''t expect this problem. The error messages recommended installing a version of SQLite3 (v1.3.6) which I did but it keeps on complaining :(. Any workaround?

Hi, I''m currently building a small rails application that needs to store web traffic information. Similar to google analytics and clicky. (but simpler) It needs to store refer domains and visitors. Integration goes through a small javascript snippet. My question is: What database server is the fastest and should I use for this app? I was thinking about SQLlite. Thanks for your time,

I still want to get this into Rails for all connection adaptors, but for now I''ve hacked my own addition on for just PostgreSQL. The following code extends every Column object returned by MyModel.columns to support a new #required? method, which indicates if the column may or may not be null. The following is a huge hack - suggestions on a cleaner way to add this functionality

Hi, I was previously using an EC2 AMI where i was logging as root, and i could bootstrap nodes. I am now using Amazon AMIs ( http://aws.amazon.com/fr/amazon-linux-ami ) and they require login as ec2-user. The problem is that if i run puppet node bootstrap --login ec2-user, it will detect it and run my install script as with sudo, which is fine, but sudo will not run it because it is configured by

Hi all, Let's say I activate password expiration for every account (including root) for every 90 days. I understand that cronjob for root will fail when the password expires. The question is, if I setup a cronjob every 90 days to renew the root password like: echo diFficulT123 | passwd --stdin root will it work? I mean at second 1 on the 90th day, which will run first? - The cronjob to renew

I'm trying to configure samba 3.0.3 from FC2 with an LDAP backend as a domain controller. I'm using smbldap-tools from idealx.org. From what I've read, I need to configure the domain SID in /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf. But in order to generate the SID, I need to be running samba on the domain controller already. I'm trying to generate all of the config files on another

Hi, I''m doing development with Mongrel 1.0.1 on Ruby 1.8.4 / OS X 10.4.10, and I''ve found that often when I shut down my server with ^C, it hangs for a while, gobbling up all CPU. Sometimes it stops after a few seconds, sometimes it''s run for several minutes at least. This happens across all the apps I develop on, but it seems to hang longer after

I am trying to expose a custom fact that requires a certain gem to be installed. However, the facts are being loaded before the module is loaded (and I see why this is the case sine the fact should be made available to the module). So my question is, is there a way to avoid this chicken and egg problem? I tried putting the module in a stage before main, but it still looks like the facts

Hello, I'm thinking about migrating from RHEL 4 to CentOS. Is there a document that provide pointer / guidance for doing that ? or is this document: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19 relevant enough to follow in my situation ? I understand that I should probably strip the install of any RedHat images, trademark, etc, as to not infringing any copyright. So I am

I'm trying to update my server. I have serveral packages to do, but I tried the kernel first: Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Hi, by switching to MySQL from SQLite, it fixed the problem. I ran rdebug on it and it is trying to call I ActiveRecord::Base.connection.begin_db_transaction. from ActiveRecordSafetyListener.scenario_started. I don''t think SQLLite likes transactions.
