We use a dual homed CentOS-6.3 host for our Internet gateway router. Its internal nic (eth1) is configured such that the address 192.168.0.1 is one of its aliases. # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:192BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST=192.168.255.255 DEVICE=eth1:192 IPADDR=192.168.0.1 IPV6INIT=no MTU="" NAME="LAN - Non-routable" NETMASK=255.255.0.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0

I installed CentOS 7 late last year to use as my Nagios/Cacti Monitoring server. Clean install, nothing real complicated just the server version with no GUI, just command line/SSH. I have noticed over the last 3 months that I've not had ANY updates when I run 'yum update'. I have run 'yum clean all' to see if that might be a problem, and I've made sure the updates repo

Hello all, I'm looking at setting up a sort of 'appliance' server and as such its really not going to have a lot packages etc. I thought of installing 4.2 on a 1gb USB stick, however, the stick is not even recongnized by anaconda. It did appear when I did 'modprobe usb-storage.ko' as /dev/sdc (i have already have 2 SATA disks which are sda, sdb). Then the disk partitioner

I highly appreciate everyone's help in the caching name server bit. Building on that one: Everyone knows my issues that i am having in terms of reverse lookup so the windows clients won't freak. I have decided to switch focus..as it seemed to make sense. I am now looking to setup a full DNS server for my internal network. Everything is actually set statically via DHCP using MAC

I have been running a customized version Amahi for a couple years for my Samba server. It is time for an upgrade, and I will be moving away from Amahi, as they have abandoned Fedora for Ubuntu. Back when I selected Amahi to replace my 15 year old NT server, I looked around and only considered SME Server as an alternative, but they were still on Centos 4.7 with the Centos 5 based version

dear all, i can't count the times that webmin came to my rescue. whenever i face a dead end in doing something through CLI i always turn to webmin.. though at the moment i wanna learn how to do things through cli instead of relying on webmin as i said.. especially "System and Server Status" theres a module that supports such a thing where i can set monitors that checks specific

Hi all, I'm looking for a (preferably free) alternative to SME / Clark Connect. I basically need the following: - firewall - nat - VPN - bandwidth limiting / monitoring - email (SMTP / POP3 / IMAP) & groupware - file & printer sharing - RAID support - if possible fail-over / high availability support. I need to support about 15 - 30 (some part time) students, so I would like to keep

Hi All, What are my e-mail serving options? I need to host POP, IMAP and SMTP. I must admit that non-windows e-mail hosting has always been a chore for me. I remember QMail and QPopper IIRC. -Jason

After failing to install on two different machines that were running Windows, I realized that one machine had a bad hard-drive, and the other bad memory. So I've collected the good parts into one machine and installed CentOS with SME. This was the fastest install of Linux I have every seen, 15 minutes done, configured, and running, web and email server. It is a very secure config, no GUI

Hello all, I've played with both Zimbra and Scalix and they seem quite nice and do pretty much what I want. I'm now at the point where I am considering retiring my trusty old courier-imap service in favour of one of these two, unless of course anyone has any other recommendations or suggestions. I'd probably be doing this inside a centos 4.4 Xen VMs running on centos 5 when it comes

People seriously use this in a production environment? The lack of documentation and confusion surrounding pretty basic posix auth is extremely surprising. I'm no noob at *nix admin and

Hi all, I'm fighting with samba on a new CentOS 5.1 install. The goal here is to have unix/linux usernames/passwords used for the samba shares (which i'll setup using webmin, as I find it easy that way). At present, the home share and one for the company's public share are in place. I can see the server, browsing from WinXP to \\172.16.0.106, but permissions seem amiss. I

Hi, I would like to spend some time learning a new coding language, but specifically for server side admin stuff, i.e. setting up users / databases / FTP accounts / virtual domains on Apache, etc. I already know PHP, but realize it's not quite suited for this kind of admin, and I suppose I need to look @ PERL / Python / C++ / Ruby? / others? Can someone give me some pointers on this? I

Being a noob having something like webmin would be pretty cool swat has sort been swatted. In the many heads webmin would have a bigger reach than swat. So anyway been having a go. Apols but haven't done any hacking / dev for of 15 years! Also a complete noob to perl and doing it the video recorder way. Manuals Paaa!

I'm looking to find a Linux NAS solution for a Windows network. Looking into FreeNAS and OpenFiler. Anyone using these or any other solution? Any comments/suggestions? Thanks, Ed

Hi ,all: There has a problem which confused me for a long time . The problem is the following: Would I can set the hostname alias in DNS server? That's to say, for example , if my hostname is called server, that it's ip address is 127.0.0.1 and I want to alias another name called aaa Gernerally, I can edit the /etc/hosts file to modify it, but the another computer did not

This week's FLOSS Weekly interview is about ClearOS (audio/video at http://twit.tv/floss168). Apparently they have taken the CentOS developer's frequently given advice to go away and do it yourself and will have a 'ClearOS core' release that is their own rebuild from Red Hat sources that will be the base for the ClearOS enterprise distribution instead of relying on CentOS as

@Work requires me to manipulate the MS Access database (mdb) file located on an XP box that is an integral part of a third party application that is central to the business. Does anyone have experience doing so? I have used odbtp in the recent past but it is extremely difficult to set up on the linux box as I learned when I recently upgraded from CentOS 4.x to 5.x. Is there another way to get

Hello all, I am trying to get djbdns ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djbdns ) running on CentOS 7. So far I have wirtten the djbdns.service and djbdns.socket files. The sockets (TCP and UDP 53) for some reason would not start and I don't know how to debug that; the service does start but only when I start it manually by running systemctl start djbdns So, I am a real noob when it comes to
