Hello: I have been looking into projects that will automatically restrict hacking attempts on my servers running CentOS 5. I think the two top contenders are: DenyHosts - http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net Fail2ban - http://www.fail2ban.org >From what I see, DenyHosts only blocks based on failed SSH attempts whereas Fail2ban blocks failed attempts for other access as well. The main benefit

Looking at netstat -in on the host, I see this info: Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met

Hello: I am looking for a recommendation for a PCI-e RAID card for my server. The server has a PCI-e x16 low profile slot so the card has to be at most 6.6 inches long x 2.536 inches high. I would like to use RAID 5 with 3 drives so I have to have those capabilities. It has to be CentOS 5.4 compatible (Of course!). I took a look at the offerings from 3Ware, but their cards are too long. If

Hello: According to the Red Hat Virtualization Guide, Windows Server 2003 32-bit will only run as a fully virtualized guest on an AMD64 system.

Hi; Been a while since I had root access to a server and without GUI. I uploaded and tried to surf to this page: http://209.216.9.56/global_solutions/index.py?w=1024 but the code is displayed, not executed. Is it that I need to inform Apache that *.py files are to be interpreted by python? Please advise, and if easy, tell me what to do. TIA, Victro -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hello all: I am trying to install CentOS 5.4 as a KVM guest. The host is running CentOS 5.4 and does not have X installed. I used ssh to connect to the host and ran this command (I formatted it for readability, it is all on one line): virt-install -n jamm12e -r 1024 --vcpus=1 --check-cpu --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel5 --hvm --accelerate --cdrom=/tmp/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-netinstall.iso

just to follow on my earlier post, i have pointers to a couple commercial C/W manuals for RHEL administration, but both of them use an entire chapter discussing virtualization using Xen. i'm under the impression that RH is firmly in the KVM camp (at least for now), and that learning Xen on red hat/centos wouldn't be as useful as learning KVM. thoughts? rday --

Hello: On a CentOS5 machine I set up for a client, in /etc/aliases, I set root's mail to forward to my email address so I can get notices from cron, etc. Unfortunately, I am now getting a lot of spam which is sent to root at theservername.com How can I tell sendmail to not accept external email to root?

Hi, I need to add one line to /etc/securetty, say it needs to be ttyS1. Do not add it if ttyS1 already exists in file /etc/securetty. How to achieve this using puppet module in puppet 2.5?

I have a question about a Xen host that runs dhcpd and installing guest/running guest VMs (that use DHCP)... On other hosts or hosts running VMs, they are absolutely able to get DHCP addresses no trouble... However, the fun begins when the machine I run dhcpd on is also hosting VMs. I can see in /var/log/messages the request and ack from dhcpd but the guest VM never hears it. If I should

Hello: I have a client that is using MS SQL Server in a Windows 2003 server. They have a Linux machine (Fedora Core 3) that is acting as a file server using Samba. We want to write backups from the SQL Agent for SQL Server to one of the shares on the Samba server.
