I'm looking for a good online (or even a good) "how to be a sysadmin" guide for beginners geared towards CentOS users. Does anyone have any suggestions? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hallo Samba mailing list I am a VERY new user to Linux and have just installed it (SUSE version 8.1) and can just about make my way around the machine although there a many things that I still don't know how to do (eg. looking at the network neighborhood the Linux machine should be able to see). I have several Windows PCs (running maily NT and Win 98) and the first obvious thing is to get

Dear all, I have a samba in my RedHat and want the Linux to use a printer in another pc of windows98, I tried to configure that following "using samba", I created a file 'printcap', 'smbprint', '.configure', what else I should do to print? Do I have to configure 'smb.conf'? How to do that? Can I do all this from SWAT? Can anybody tell me in detail? I

Hello, I am just starting to research Asterisk and I would like to install it on a PC to try out. I have looked around quite a bit but I haven't found much information on the Linux part. I know you need to put Linux on the PC first but what version or flavor of Linux do you recommend? I contacted Red Hat and they had not heard of Asterisk and they said Asterisk is not certified for Red Hat.

Is anyone currently working on updating the Kerberos documentation in the Handbook? if so, I'd like to help. If not, I'm hoping to find someone who can get me up to speed on the FreeBSD docbook extensions :-) -T -- "The truly paranoid administrator may wish to place motion detectors in the air ducts." - Practical UNIX & Internet Security, 2nd Edition

I''m a beginner. I''ve done the apple tutorial, Agile ROR (the depot app, I stopped after that, a little to advanced with no base knowledge of Ruby), Why''s guide and my copy of Chris Pine''s book today. After Pine, I''m going to buy either the Wrox book or Ruby for Rails book. I did a search and there''s not too much on the Wrox book (Holzner)

``You do not want to overbuild your security or you will interfere with the detection side, and detection is one of the single most important aspects of any security mechanism. For example, it makes little sense to set the schg flag (see chflags(1)) on every system binary because while this may temporarily protect the binaries, it prevents an attacker who has broken in from making an easily

Howdy, I may be approaching this problem entirely wrong, or not. Was hoping for a little guidance one way or the other. I've got this AS/400 with gobs of unused file storage on it that I want to share across as a file server to a FreeBSD box. The AS/400 side of things supports NFS and kinda pretends to be a Unix like machine in this role. Users will be booting from diskless clients

I will shortly be replacing a couple of proprietary VPN boxes with a FreeBSD solution. Section 10.10 of the Handbook has a detailed description of how to do this. However I remember a lot of discussion about a year ago about whether the gif interface was necessary to set up VPNs like this or whether it was just a convenience, for "getting the routing right". A number of people said

I am a newbie trying to get the most current Stable version of FreeBSD running. I have been using CVS to update my system, but things don't work after an update. For example KDE 3.1 (from KDE 3.0) doesn't start using startkde. I am looking for instructions on the best way to Install the lastest version of FreeBSD-Stable and how to Upgrade the system in the future. Thanks.

you guys are so friggin funny.. all i see bout problems on most providers here are users who never read a line of the handbook i could prolly solve all these eyes closed with the asterisk handbook on my side as a friend. wake up.. i work for a hosting provider and we get lots of users assuming they have it all right and us is the problem. and in fact 99% of the time they are the ones who

Hi, How much bandwidth do I need for 1 conversation ? I know it depends on the codecs, in X-lite I can see a codec called gsm, and the grandstream aha analog/ip converter have a codec called 721. Doc. I have found the asterisk handbook, but only a draft from marts 2003 anything newer ? Guides/howtos are welcome as well. anyone have a php interface to accounting ? /HHA

We have replaced the simple contact management system in Asterisk@Home with SugarCRM a full CRM system. This might seem like over kill for a home PBX but Sugar has the best contact management we have seen. With click to dial functionality and the ability to import data from other contact managers it’s a great fit for Asterisk@Home. We have also added new version of the usual Asterisk software AMP

Hi! I'm quite new to the list, but searching the archive and PRs didn't show me anything on the matter. According to FreeBSD Handbook (14.8.2 Setting up a Heimdal KDC) one should config DNS server by adding: ----- _kerberos IN TXT EXAMPLE.ORG. ----- This doesn't work. DNS servers returns: text = "EXAMPLE.ORG.". This is right, because RFC 1035 allows up to

Hi, I've read through the Asterisk handbook and I'd just like clarification from someone that's implemented the above before. Lets imagine I want to use the CallingCard application and don't want to tell a client to buy a channelbank (the analog extensions are too many to connect to FXS cards), I figure I could set them up as below: Original Existing Setup

Hi, I am starting a new job as a study analyst for a social science research unit. I would really like to use R as my main tool for data manipulation and analysis. So I'd like to ask you, if you had just one book on R to buy (or to keep), which one would it be ? I already bought the Handbook of Statistical Analysis Using R, but I'd like to have something more complete, both on the

Hello Greg, I am writing you, because I saw your responses to a couple of messages on the freebsd-security mailing list related to freebsd vpn and nat. My situations is rather unique, and I am needing an expert's eyes to glance at it and confirm whether it is doable or not. I have a simple diagram that illustrates what I am trying to do, and it is located here (about 40k):

Hello, I've recently installed Asterisk@home, i'm following step by step the "new user guide" but I cannot get my X-Lite SIP phone see my asterisk@home proxy... I've installed in a viertual machine (vmware) and there's some problems with the Zaptel service and I think that this is why I cannot connect. Thanks in advance.
