similar to: passwd problem with new vps

Greetings, I have accounts on two Centos servers, A and B, each hosted on a remote VPS by a different provider/datacenter. Until yesterday night, I could connect without problems via SSH to both servers from my home Fedora 16 desktop. Yesterday I completed (fingers crossed) the switch to a different ADSL provider. From the moment I turned on the modem on the new ADSL line, I became unable to

I'm receiving the centos-request in digest mode. Using Fedora 10 and Evolution. When I tried to reply to a centos-request message inside the digest, the result doesn't seem to look right. I cut/paste the proper subject line (replacing the CentOS Digest, Vol NN, Issue nn text), but some have complained that this approach doesn't allow the original question and replies to be threaded.

Hello, I may need to set up soon a Linux VPS, to be used almost exclusively for handling email (as in "2GB of disk space, 2GB/month of bandwidth would be surely enough") with a fully customized postfix/procmail/dovecot setup. I'd prefer to use Centos, which I already use and know. One reason why I'm asking this here is that I'd really like to be sure, before I go for it,

I have a couple of projects with Restful Authentication The first snippet is from the Git repo today and is supposed to be the newer code. # Store the given user id in the session. def current_user=(new_user) session[:user_id] = new_user ? new_user.id : nil @current_user = new_user || false end # Store the given user id in the session. def current_user=(new_user)

Hello, I have seen via google that this very problem was already discussed on this and other lists some months ago, but the archives report no solution. I have dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8 on Centos 4.3. IMAP works just fine: I can read email from both Squirrelmail via web and Kmail. Now I have created an ssl certificate and I'm trying to use it via pop3. When I launch fetchmail I get the error

Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or

Hi all, I''m trying to overwrite a setter method, but am running into some difficulties. This is normally really easy when overwriting a setter for a table column, but in this case it is the setter for an associated object. Here''s a hypothetical example: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :posts end class Post < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user

Hi. I have "validates_presence_of :login, :password, :firstname, :lastname" in my user-model. I enter the information in new_user.rhtml: <%= error_messages_for(:user) %> <%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => :register }, :html => { :id => ''new_user'' } %> I have a register.rjs with :fade.

Greetings, I run my own email server for some domains I administer, on a centos vps server with a very small number of users. The only services are smtp, imap/pop, webmail Everything was running without problems until this morning. I left home for 1/2 hours, and when I came back everything had become about 100x slower (seriously!). The services were/are still all up and running, but practically

I know that usually when people say ''i think i found a bug in rails/ruby'' they''ve done something dumb. I''m wondering if this is the case here, but this does seem like a genuine rails bug to me. In my user model i have a few different before_create callbacks. In one of them, if it happens to return false (just because the last statement in it evaluated to

Hey guys and gals, Yesterday I had one of my scientists kill one of my servers when his program ran amok and gobbled up all the memory, or forked too many processes, or I'm just not exactly sure what to be honest. Is there something I can run manually in cron to look for rampant programs and kill them? I know that may be hard to discern but I could also include a list if "known

Hello, a couple of months ago, also thanks to help from this list, I set up postfix and dovecot for virtual domains on a Centos 4 remote server. I have postfix set up to deliver all email for marco at domain1.net to /var/mail/vhosts/marco_domain1.net/ Everything is fine, as far as postfix is concerned: all email to marco at domain1.net goes in that mailbox, dovecot sees it, etc... Now I need

Hello, I've read on several howtos that one way to make ssh more secure, or at least reduce the damage if somebody breaks in, is to NOT allow direct ssh login from root, but allow logins from another user. So you have to know two passwords in order to do any real damage. Does this make sense? IF yes, what is the right way to create an user only for this purpose, that is one that can only

Does anyone have nested routes working with the facebook_resources method? My routes.rb has: map.facebook_resources :users do |users| users.facebook_resources :images users.facebook_resources :connections end but user_connections_url won''t generate. "rake routes" gives me: new_user POST /users/new {:action=>"new",

Hello, about one hour ago, I did a "yum update" on a remote centos 4.3 server.

Greetings, everybody I've browsed around a bit, but there seems to be no single practical list of this kind. What would you do to make a new Centos server which must run apache, IMAP (Dovecot) and SMTP (PostFix) and nothing else for a few domains as secure from attacks as possible, using only standard RPM packages as much as possible? (Please note that choice of other IMAP and SMTP servers

I have a remote server running centos 4.3 and a home desktop running suse 10.1. I have generated an SSL certificate on the server, copied it on the desktop and run on the desktop: >openssl x509 -in mynewcertCert.pem -fingerprint -subject -issuer -serial -hash -noout >c_rehash . getting this warning: > > Doing . > WARNING: mynewcertPrivateKey.pem does not contain a certificate or

I know, I should not have to ask this question, but it appears that ALL my previous yum.repos.d entries have been trashed, with the only ones left is base, CentOS Media then the mirrors.rpmforge.reo, rhel-mondo.repo, rpmforge.repo, and webmin.repo. I've been bitten by the mixing of repositories before and want to avoid that scenario. Something is amok in the existing, and it throws all

Samba 3.0.21c, RHEL4. About a week ago, we restarted our Samba server because nmbd had run amok. Since that restart, our Apple clients have periodically disconnected -- by most reports, they disconnect every 15-45 minutes. It doesn't appear to be synchronized, i.e., every Mac on campus doesn't disconnect at once, but only occasionally. They get a message similar to: "A server you
