Hi All, What tips does everyone have on hardening a CenOS Server that is running web, e-mail, ssh, ftp, mysql, coldfusion and will be processing payments from www? -Jason

My 12 year old wants to learn more about servers and has memorized a lot of commands like ls, chmod, du, etc. He wants to have his own domain and server on the web and I have enough Static IP's, so why not foster this interest. I have an old ultra sparc 5. Are there any CentOS versions that support Sparc? Or recommendations? I know OpenBSD does, but I am more versed in Solaris and versions

Hi All, I am looking at ZFS and I get that they call it RAIDZ which is similar to RAID 5, but what about RAID 10? Isn''t a RAID 10 setup better for data protection? So if I have 8 x 1.5tb drives, wouldn''t I: - mirror drive 1 and 5 - mirror drive 2 and 6 - mirror drive 3 and 7 - mirror drive 4 and 8 Then stripe 1,2,3,4 Then stripe 5,6,7,8 How does one do this with ZFS?

Hi All, I am trying to add a 3Ware 9500S-8 RAID controller to a CentOS 5.4 box. I have the drivers from 3Ware and they seem to be a .ko file (which I presume is like a .kext on OSX) How do I install these? Searched turn up people talking about Kernel panics with .ko's but I dont see anything that points to to installing one so I can use the card. Best, -Jason

a hd in my server failed. I noticed when I went to SSH in and get a copy of some files in /var/www/html I tried to tar the files and I was told No, read-only file system. I restarted and tried running FSCK manually (without -a or -p) and I get inode errors, short reads, etc. I tried booting to my CentOS 53 install DVD. I do linux rescue and I get to where it wants to know where CentOS images

Hi All, I have a server that is running nicely, except I have hit the maximum RAM (4gb) and I wish to add more. It is an ASUS board, AMD X64 dual core, nvidia nic. What I want going to move to is a dell board, Intel Pentium M dual code, which supports 8gb of RAM. Can I just unplug the HD and move it to the new server and boot it up? I assume that the NIC will need to be re-setup, but what

Hi All, I have spent a better part of my 32 years on this earth writing Solaris software and more recently leaving that and returning back to Mac OS. I obviously know about GCC and the Intel C++ Compilers. I am looking to have more freedom and flexibility along with producing better quality software. How does LLVm fit in? I know that it is a C/C++ Compiler, but how do I use it? Is it

Yeah, maybe this is a bit on the edge.... I am discovering several issues with users on satellite internet connections not being able to authenticate via a htaccess/htpasswd system. Some users cannot connect at all, some can connect reliably.. and some are hit and miss.. works one day and not the next. Yet those same users can log in fine if they switch back to their dialup system. Has

Hi All, I see that sparc.centos.org does not contain any ISO's so that I can install from CD. How does one install over the internet? I have never done it before. I assume use the boot.iso and make sure that I have DHCP turned on so that I get an IP automatically from my router? Any advice? -Jason

Hi All, I need to write a script that I will manually start (or a cron job in future) but I need it to do a number of things in order one after another. How do i do that so everything gets dont as the steps depend on each other. Example: cd /system_backups/ tar cvf apache-conf.tar /etc/httpd/conf/* gzip -v9 apache-conf.tar tar cvf apache-data.tar /var/www/* gzip -v9 apache-data.tar

Hi All, I am working on setting up Postfix and I have a few questions: 1. mynetworks = Do I put my public static IP here? So I am hosting at another provider on my own dedicated hardware. Do I put that machines IP or the IP of my apartment where I want to access from? Second, do I have to know the Ip information for my BlackBerry to work as well? 2. relaying: Obviously I dont want to be

Hi All, How does one create a cron job that runs commands like: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=xxx.com -update /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=yyy.com -update Say every 15 mins? -Jason

HI All, I have a dilemma and I would appreciate advice 1. Get a good size case, mobo, processor, etc and put 8 hard drives it in and RAID them. (yes an 8 port SATA mobo). Running CentOS. or 2. Get an eSATA enclosure that has room for 8 or 10 drives and just connect it to box? I know that RAID is not a full proof backup, but I am looking for a solution to store all of my data, projects, music,

Hi All, I have a CentOS 5.4 web server. I have some stuff that runs on 443. When I hit https://<the site> The user gets a warning saying that site identity could not be verified and the user can add an exception if they want. How do I stop this from happing? Do I need to buy an SSL cert? Aren't these really expensive per server and I have 5 servers I would need to do this too. Can

Hi All, Cent OS 5.3. I need to install the gcc toolchain, but what yum packages is this? I need to compile ProFTPD, etc, etc. I tried yum install gcc, what else? -Jason

Hello All, I build a new Storage Server to backup my data, keep archives of client files, etc I recently had a near loss of important items. So I built a 16 SATA bay enclosure (16 hot swappable + 3 internal) enclosure, 2 x 3Ware 8 port RAID cards, 8gb RAM, dual AMD Opertron. I have a 1tb boot drive and I put in 8 x 1.5tb Seagate 7200 drives. In the future I want to fill the other 8 SATA bays

Does anyone have an idea on how to convert Apple mail to Evolution? I have loved Evolution since early Ximian days.... -Jason

Hi All, I know off topic, but I just cant get solutions and you all are always so helpful. I have a blackberry curve 8310 and I really need to keep track of clients, their e-mails, notes, pdfs, etc. basically everything about a customer. I want to deploy it here in my apartment (I have a static IP) and either have my BB connect or sync at the end of the day or something. I just cannot
