similar to: Using a CentOS 6 Machine as a gateway/router/home server

Greetings, Beginning today, I started to receive the following when ftp'ing to my CentOS 6 machine: ncftp /home/pyz2 > dir connect failed: No route to host. connect failed: No route to host. connect failed: No route to host. Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode. I can make a connection, but I can't get a directory listing or transfer data/files. I'm flummoxed. What I had

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

Greetings, 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:

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?

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, Max Pyziur pyz at

Greetings, I am looking to implement tcp wrappers with dovecot; I am using the following two links as guides to configuration: http://blog.acsystem.sk/linux/brute-force-attack-dovecot-imap-server-blocking-ip-with-tcp-wrappers http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcess (you need to go to the very bottom) I'm concerned in making the configuration correctly.

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: kernel-2.6.32-504.23.4.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-573.3.1.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.x86_64

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, Max Pyziur pyz at brama.com

Part of the firewall setup (iptables) is to configure masquerading. That's you

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. Basic squirrelmail (a php-dependent package) works correctly. However, drupal, and other php-dependent parts that call postgresql and mysql databases of

Greetings, A long time ago I setup a Linux machine as a Gateway/LAN Server using Verizon DSL as the ISP. I used the following HOWTO as the guide - DSL HOWTO For Linux: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/index.html Is there something comprable for Verizon FIOS? My Gateway machine runs Fedora. For a new server, I'm considering setting up a CentOS machine, while still using Fedora on my

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? (Running CentOS 6, and the following version of Apache: httpd-2.2.15-28.el6.centos.x86_64) Much thanks, Max Pyziur pyz at

IMHO, keeping the firewall function completely separate simplifies security. that router board can handle 300 Mbit/sec of

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

Greetings, What's the process for requesting minor enhancements to packages? Currently, CentOS dovecot rpms ship w/o having tcp_wrappers enabled; to have dovecot compiled with tcp_wrappers requires adding one directive to the to the dovecot.spec file in the srpm. If the directive isn't there, then any dovecot upgrades via YUM/RPM require first to have the RPMs recompiled before doing

Greetings, I tried to install FASTTRACK repos today from this link: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories and the links were broken e.g. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/fasttrack/CentOS-fasttrack.repo fyi, Max Pyziur pyz at brama.com

Greetings, I've read reports that there has been degradation in Internet traffic over the last month. Until today, I haven't experienced any. However, getting bank record data from chase.com here in NYC seems impossible. I also noticed erratic ftp behavior today; connections can be made but data can't be transferred. This isn't consistent, though. (I have a machine in LA while
