Simple (?) subset problem
I can't figure out the syntax I need to get subset to work. I'm trying
to split my dataframe into two parts. I'm sure this is a simple issue,
but I'm stumped. I either get all or none of the original "rows".

Survey Design / Rake questions
I'm trying to learn how to calibrate/postStratify/rake survey data in
preparation for a large survey effort we're about to embark upon. As a
working example, I have results from a small survey of ~650 respondents,
~90 response fields each. I'm trying to learn how to (properly?) apply
the aforementioned functions.
My data are from a bus on board survey. The expansion in the

Disaster recovery recommendations
Greetings,
I have three drives; they are all SATA Seagate Barracudas; two are 500GB; the
third is a 2TB.
I don't have a clear reason why they have failed (possibly due to a deep,
off-brand, flakey mobo; but it's still inconclusive, but I would like to find a
disaster recovery service that can hopefully recover the data.
Much thanks for any and all suggestions,

PHP and PHP53
Greetings,
We have someone requesting the use of Wordpress 3.3.1. It requires PHP 5.2
minimum.
Currently, our machine is running CentOS 5.7.
What are the issues/concerns in upgrading from PHP 5.1 (the current PHP
rpms) to PHP53?
Much thanks,

Using a CentOS 6 Machine as a gateway/router/home server
Greetings,
I'm rebuilding a machine to function as a gateway/router to Verizon DSL.
It has two NICs eth0 and eth1 (static set to 192.168.1.1).
eth0 connects to the DSL modem.
I've setup Verizon DSL usine pppoe-setup, and it works.
I can connect from home machines to the server (192.168.1.1); while logged
in to the server, I can connect to both the internet, and the home
machines.

(Al)pine on CentOS 6
Greetings,
The alpine mail rpm indicates that it comes packaged with configuration
files (/etc/pine*conf*). However, they aren't there. Possible?
Also, how did you get rid of the annoying alpine bug: a message that keeps
flashing - [Folder vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777
protection]?
Thanks.

Verizon DSL + rp-pppoe + CentOS 6.5
Greetings,
I've just upgrade a home server to CentOS 6.5 with a new dual-core
processor and mobo.
I see that with the CentOS 6.x release rp-pppoe can be run as a daemon.
I've looked through some online one-page setup notes for rp-pppoe, but
nowhere is there a discussion of running it as a daemon.
Until now, I've cobbled an ifcfg-ppp0 file and placed it in

C6: tcp-wrapping pop3?
Greetings,
Per the subject line, how does pop3 get tcp-wrapped when using dovecot?
More specifically, when blocking email and (still) using sendmail, entries
in /etc/hosts.deny look something like:
sendmail: xxx.xxx. etc (depending on the depth/degree)
for vsftpd it's
vsftpd: xxx.xxx (where the x's are parts of an octet)
for sshd it's
sshd: xxx.xxx
for pop3/dovecot it's?

sendmail - smtp security/authentication & port 587 issues

I'm refining a CentOs configuration installation, now just over one month
old running on a colocated production server. Previously, we ran a version
of Fedora for over seven years.
Specifically, I'm reviewing our sendmail configuration, both with respect
to authentication and port usage.
Previously, we had the following line in the sendmail.mc line:

It also contains (completely untested) support for compiling without

Size limitations in .htaccess
Greetings,
It seems that I've hit a size limitation when adding unwanted IPs to a
"Deny From" line.
Is there any place where this is specified?
Also, if I hit the max length on a "Deny From" line, can I add another
"Deny From" line?

Using CentOS Wordpress rpms
Greetings,
Apologies for my seeming daft naivete.
I'm wondering if there any sort of conventions for using Wordpress on
CentOS?
Generally until now, I have had users install Wordpress from tarballs on a
case-by-case basis. This means that you can have several different
versions of WordPress operating on a site.
With the RPM you have a version that can be consistent across multiple

PHP Questions on move from CentOS 5.x to CentOS 6.x
Greetings,
A malfunctioning disk this past week accelerated a lingering decision to
move to CentOS 6.x from CentOS 5.x.
Most of our content is functioning and being presented as it should be.
However, there appear to be php-related issues.

Kernel Panic post kernel-2.6.32-504.23.4.el6.x86_64
Greetings,
Today, I decided to reboot one of my CentOS machines after it had been
running for 219 days.
In this time, I had done yum updates several times. When I tried rebooting
the machine, none of the kernels would work except for the oldest one.
Here are the installed kernels:
