Hi, I'd like to use SSH without password so I can use it in scripts (for example in combination with rsync to do backups). I have Carla Schroder's "Linux Cookbook" and I'm trying out the various receipts, but the one for SSH without a password doesn't work. The book is slightly dated, and I wonder if SSH included in CentOS works differently. Any suggestions? Niki

Hi, I'd like to use cdrecord on the command line. I'm currently reading the relevant chapter in Carla Schroder's "Linux Cookbook". Unfortunately, some of the tricks and hints included in the book don't seem to work the same way on a standard CentOS 5 install. 1) Am I supposed to be root to use cdrecord and burn an .iso file? 2) How do I specify a device?

Hi, The subject says it all. After a few years of writing scripts the quick and dirty way, I've decided to take the plunge and learn Bash correctly, using the O'Reilly Bash Cookbook. I'm currently looking for the right place to ask questions, but curiously enough, Google searches about "bash forum" result in nothing conclusive. I took a peek in the corresponding USENET

Hi, I just installed CentOS 5 on a few machines, to experiment with it. I have some trouble installing a Java plugin for Firefox. I've searched through the forum and read the various info at jpackage.org, and I'm a bit confused. 1) Can you point me to some reliable bit of information, even if it's laconic? 2) If I understand the info on http://jpackage.org/yum.php correctly,

Hi, I want to setup a simple SAMBA file server, in its most simple configuration first, and then fine-tune that gradually. I've never worked with SAMBA before, so I based myself on Carla Schroder's "Linux Cookbook", chapter XX: SAMBA. Here's what I did, following the step-by-step instructions and reading the explanations as to what-does-what: # mkdir -m 777 /shares Rename

Hi, I'm currently trying to get a grasp on DNS and Bind. I admit the documentation is quite confusing, either too laconic or way too detailed. So I'm trying to start from a working example, and then bite my way through it. I have a sample named.conf file from Carla Schroder's Linux Cookbook. In the opening global options, I have this : listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 10.11.12.1; };

Subject says it all. Anybody taken a look yet? http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/railsckbk/?CMP=ILC-GG7423313304&ATT=railsckbk After buying the Ruby Cookbook and the other Rails book, I''m pretty gunshy about another Rough Cuts purchase. Sean

Hi, I'm running a small Linux consulting business here in a group of small villages in the South of France (http://www.microlinux.fr). I'm using CentOS for everything, servers as well as desktops. The desktop installs are usually highly customized. My approach is to list the client's needs, find the corresponding applications and then install these, to avoid the bloat and

Would like to run PC Study Bible ver. 2 from BibleSoft on Linux. Research has led me to WINE. I am new to Linux, have Mandriva 2009 installed. I just DL'ed WINE for Mandriva 2009, and got it going. I tried to install PC Study bible from CD, no dice. I then copied the entire contents of PC Study Bible folder from a windows computer to flash drive and copied it to Linux computer. Still

Hi, Last summer I published a cookbook-style detailed introduction to Linux, based on CentOS. I recently decided to make a free online version available as well. Those among you reading french might be interested. Here's the link : Presentation: http://www.microlinux.fr/documentation.html#online Introduction:

Hi, One of our applications has some very specific requirements regarding PHP, so I had to rebuild it to add some functionality that's not included in the default configuration. First thing I removed every PHP-related package that was installed on the system: # yum remove `rpm -qa | grep php` Then I downloaded the PHP SRPM from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/os/SRPMS/ and

Hi There, I''ve installed xen 3 and xen-tools on my Debian etch server and all seems well, until I try to start a guest domain. debian:/home/xen# xm create /etc/xen/D4G3.cfg Using config file "/etc/xen/D4G3.cfg".

Hello all. I created a "plug and play" kind of solution for bridge-based QoS LAN-WAN traffic shaping. Based on the LEAF bering-uClibc branch, I''m calling it ''QBox'' and the project site for now is located at: http://content.cs.luc.edu/projects/comp412/q-box I''m interested in any feedback you might have. This is based off of experience I have over the

Hi, I have to setup a scheduled task on a server, and I just read through some crontab docs. Now I'm confused. It's not so much the syntax of the cron job to define (I got that), it's more... how do I get to define it? Use a text editor (vi or the likes) to edit /etc/crontab directly? Or create some empty file in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.hourly or the likes and then edit it

If I''m using eth1 as my lan zone on my router box, it needs a static ip... what do I set the gateway option to in /etc/network/interfaces since this computer is actually the gateway for the rest of the lan? Itself? My "net" NIC''s address? Something else? My lan isn''t getting internet access using the default Shorewall config file (edited per

Hey Y'all, I though I would resurrect a long dead mail chain. I'm looking for a good replacement for Rhythmbox. I need a pod catcher to catch podcasts and download them to my HD where I can then move them onto my mp3 player that I take to work every day. I don't need a new mp3 player so don't suggest VLC. It is not able to download podcasts. I'm in the process of

Hi Geoff, Thanks Geoff, We are currectly working in Asp.Net 1.1. We want to do 2 tasks. Tasks: 1. Actually we are having MP3 file which is in server (Eg. www.myserver.com/admin/music/myvoice.mp3 ).

Hi, Has anyone gotten the "roughcuts" of the Ruby and Rails cookbooks? If you have the Pragmattic Rails Cookbook is the O''Reilly worth it? Also can you download PDF''s of their "roughcuts". The website is kind of vague, it just mentions online access (whatever that means). Thanks in advance.
