Hi, I try dig google for this question and found little notes in there, I already try it on my VPS machine and end up with nothing working... I'm using CentOS 4.6 in VPS (openvz), at first i'm trying BIND and it's just nice, and now i want to try djbdns... Is it djbdns working in VPS ? if not, is there anything that i can work on it ? i can only afford VPS for now. Thank you...

I wonder if it is possible to set up an encrypted "file container" on a CentOS VPS? I am the root user of the VPS but the hosting company also has access to the VPS and thus all files. Is it possible to create a LUKS-container on the VPS and those files only be accessible by me? IOW, most of the file system on the VPS would be regular file system but the container could be used by me as

Hello: One of my customers asked for access to stop and start their VPS. Right now, I can do that using virsh, but I do not want to give this customer the ability to stop and start all VPSs running on the host. Is there a way to give stop and start control of one VPS to someone? I am using KVM on a CentOS 5.5 host. Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (281)846-8957 FREE trial: Virtualmin VPS

I just got an inexpensive VPS too have an outside server to play/test with. I am pinging it every 5 minutes and graphing with MRTG on another CentOS box. This works fine to all servers but the VPS. The first ping to the VPS is always crud and following ones are fine. [root at ns1 scripts]# ping X PING X 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from X: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=773 ms 64 bytes from X:

greetings, I am setting up Centos 6 i686 remotely, on a new VPS. A problem I have is that I cannot set password for new users. I have created one with useradd -m new_user but when I type passwd new_user this is the result: [root at vps ~]# passwd new_user Changing password for user new_user New password: Retype new password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error [root at vps

Hi all, A client just phoned me and said he could not SSH into his VPS, yet he can ping it. So, I login to the host node, and check it out, can''t SSH into. I shutdown iptables on the VPS (via xm console serverza.vm) but still can''t SSH into it. I restart the VPS, still can''t SSH into it. So, I check the host, and found this in /var/log/messages: Jul 22 19:19:07

Hi all, I have been trying to run an IDS system on OpenVZ based VPS which requires that I run this IPTABLES command : iptables -A FORWARD -j NFQUEUE However, so far I have not suceeded. I always get this errors: iptables: Unknown error 4294967295 Even when the NFQUEUE  IP modules was enabled by the VPS provider, I still get these errors and this appears to be OpenVZ bug.  So I want to

Hi all, today we've encountered quite strange issues with memory allocation on one of our VPS running CentOS 6.2. So far I've been unable to determine what's causing it - hopefully someone here will know what's up. The VPS is a "small" machine - just 512MB of RAM, 1 CPU, running 6.2. with current kernel (2.6.32-220.4.2.el6.x86_64, but I've tried the

I have a VPS account with 256MB guaranteed RAM. I am running it as Apache1.3 -> Pen -> mongrel_cluster (with 2 mongrel servers). "top" shows 2 "ruby" instances (I guess for both of the mongrel servers), each weighing in at about 25MB. Does that sound about right? If you are using 2 mongrel servers per client app, does that mean that each RoR app needs 50MB+

Hello, I just installed dovecot and postfix on a Fedora Core VPS. The VPS will not allow me to ssh directly as user "root" i.e.: I must first login as a non-root user and then "su" into root. My question is: is there a way to read my root mail through Dovecot ? How should I setup the Thunderbird account ? Thank you... SJ

Hi, I'm using SolusVM control panel to create KVM VPS. Suddenly, I can't make any VPS on Host-Node. Their build log says the SolusVM can't read the libguestfs in server. During the debug, I've tried to mount existing VPS using guestmount command and I can't mount the KVM image. Please check here. [root@msv07 /]# guestmount -i -a /dev/msv07data/kvm139_img /mnt libguestfs:

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,

Hello! Since Virtual Private Server seems to be the only way to run Rails apps without problems, so in the future I will need to become a Linux sysadmin. I plan on using debian (as per Ezra''s instructions in <http:// brainspl.at/pages/perfect_vps>). Rails VPS sysadmin is not the same as general Linux sysadmin, since only webserver, db and email are of interest (and of

I'm trying to get dovecot running on my VPS and the main imap process is receiving a SIGKILL from what I presume to be the Linux Kernel and/or OpenVZ. This happens after I login and my client(s) just sit their idling. The mailbox is empty. I'm not running out of memory. stracing the process doesn't show anything interesting... ... gettimeofday({1233024777, 844804}, {420, 0}) = 0
