Hello everyone, I got a question, I'm not new in the linux scene or even a geek, but I am confused about certain stuff regarding Bind, DNS stuff, or whatsoever, maybe it's a silly question. Anyway. About 3 years ago I hired a dedicated server in certain company, for hosting my site and some other sites, didn't work at all the plan I had, nevertheless I was using Redhat 9 or something

Hi Centos Users I would like to allow outgoing traffic to Google Analytics servers (destination port 80). I wish to do a iptables rule. How to whitelist all Google Analytics servers? cheers Simon -- XMPP: sjolle at swissjabber.org

Hi, anyone successfully compiled http://download.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/snapshots/pure-ftpd-1.0.22.tar.bz2 Thanks, David

I'm interested in doing centralized logging & analysis of logs from my CentOS boxes. I messed around with syslog-ng and it seems like it's a better syslog. But I noticed most of the "usual suspects" of third-party repo maintainers (Dag, Axel, etc.) don't include it. Karanbir has an el4 version, but all my boxes are CentOS 5. I was going to go ahead and roll my own

Hi, To get my system on time, I usually issue these two commands: # ntpdate de.pool.ntp.org # hwclock -w And when I want this to be done on startup, I put the two lines in rc.local. I wonder if this is an orthodox way to do things. Or is there something more appropriate? Niki Kovacs

Hi. I just setup one of my machines as a DHCP server. I'd like it to handle the hostnames of clients. Don't know if this is an orthodox thing to do (feel free to add your comments :oD). Here's the server's relevant lines of dhcpd.conf: --8<------- ... # Envoyer les noms d'h?tes aux clients use-host-decl-names on; # Adresses statiques host babasse { hardware ethernet

Hi, I have a CentOS 5.0 LAMP server, and I need to install the php-yaz module to implement the Z39.50 protocol (which handles data exchange for public libraries). I've already done this with Debian (a one-liner: apt-get install php-yaz) and also on Slackware (more complicated: compile Yaz, rebuild PHP). Has anyone here ever done this on CentOS? What would be the most orthodox method to

Hi, I'm running a medical application on a local network, using MySQL as a database. The application can also connect to remote hosts, so the idea is to install it on one machine acting as a "server", and then install it on the other machines on the LAN, but configure these to use the database on the "server". I guess before doing that, I'll better try and get

Hi, I just migrated my office's server from Slackware64 14.1 to CentOS 7. So far everything's running fine, I just have a few minor details to work out. I removed the firewalld package and replaced it by a simple Iptables script: --8<---------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # # firewall-lan.sh IPT=$(which iptables) MOD=$(which modprobe) SYS=$(which sysctl)

Hi, I'm running CentOS 4.3 with the rpmforge and kbs repos enabled. I just installed MPlayer and tried it. It has a small problem. When I want to view myfile.wmv, Mplayer displays the following error message: "Error opening/initialising the selected video_out (-vo) device." So I opened a console, took a peek at the various options (mplayer -vo help), and then the movie worked

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

Hi, I'm just migrating some stuff from Slackware Linux to CentOS, and I have a question about the orthodox way of configuring a network connection. On a desktop or workstation, I usually get rid of NetworkManager: # systemctl stop NetworkManager # yum remove NetworkManager Then I edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXXXX file corresponding to my network interface. Here's

Hi, I recently migrated my office's server from Slackware64 14.1 to CentOS 7. Right now I'm in the process of configuring the Squid web proxy. I edited the default /etc/squid/squid.conf, and here's what I have so far: --8<-------------------------------------------------- # /etc/squid/squid.conf # Nom d'h?te du serveur Squid visible_hostname amandine.microlinux.lan #

Hi, I'm running CentOS 7 on all my servers, in three different contexts : 1. simple local server 2. public facing server 3. router/gateway/firewall I'm currently in the process of moving my KISS-style network-scripts-style configurations to something more orthodox based on NetworkManager. Scenarios (1) and (2) caused no problems, but (3) is giving me some headache. Let me

I'm just starting to learn to use R, and although I'm seeing lots of functions aimed at doing orthodox statistical analyses, I don't see the same for Bayesian analyses. What support does R have for Bayesian statistics?

I am learning to program with the Go language. I have been following things and I am banking on FreeBSD being a more common OS around the world by V10.0 even on ARM! Most everything I have on my slate is geared towards future FreeBSD. They are gearing to run LLVM/Clang as soon as possible. I am interested in what one of you who know what's up, would suggest to a guy learning programming

Hi, I've been setting up a few printer servers with CUPS. Our public libraries here all run 100% Linux (CentOS 5), so what I do is simply install the printer on one of the machines (with a static IP) and then configure CUPS so it can act as a printer server for Linux clients. It took me some time to figure this out, and I remember pulling my hair out for a few sunny afternoons, but I

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with protecting sections of a website with .htaccess. Here's an example: <Files .htaccess> order allow,deny deny from all </Files> AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/htpasswd AuthName "L'acc?s ? ce site est restreint." AuthType Basic require valid-user The configuration works OK (after having created a valid user), but unfortunately,

Hi, I'm currently writing my fourth book about Linux, for the french editor Eyrolles. The book will cover Linux server basics for pros, and it will be based on CentOS 7. I have a quick question to those of you who use either Windows 10 or Mac OS X as their everyday desktop system. How do you write a bootable CentOS USB disk using either Windows 10 or Mac OS X ? I've googled this, of
