I have a ClarkConnect (CentOS based) box running as my home router on a RR connection. I had the DNS servers set up to use Google's DNS server. I want to change them back to the local DNS servers but I can't find an obvious/easy way to get those address short of a) reconfiguring the router's network to DHCP them (would rather not interrupt everyone) or b) calling their tech support (kill me now!). Is there a command line tool/command I can use to query the DHCP server on the external NIC to see what DNS servers it would set me up with w/o munging my existing setup?

The issue is that my CentOS workstation is in a vlan from where the Intranet's DNS servers are unreachable. For browsing the web there is an ISA proxy server, which I presume resolves DNS for my firefox. However, wget, host, ping and aria2c fail to get any sort of DNS resolution since they're being run from command line.I have exported HTTP_PROXY value, which provides me internet access on console, but,only when I connect using IP address. It fails on name resolution.
My question is:May I redirect the DNS queries to my home PC which would be running a DNS server on a non standard port?I was thinking of putting nameserver 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf and then put iptables rule to redirect 127.0.0.1:53 UDP to a.public.ip.address:3535 UDP..I don't know if I am shooting blanks or what, I am not very much aware of this kind of setup.My main need is to provide DNS resolution to console apps.I want to utilize my company's idle bandwidth for bulk downloads, so, using proxy, SSH tunneling through my Home PC is out of question.

Been hunting around and trying this for a few days now, without any success.I have configured a CentOS 5.5 box to start up named on boot. I have a Windows 7 machine currently going straight to the router for its DNS, that I want to point to this box instead.While I have done all the tests on the Linux box, and everything says it's working, my Windows 7 box just can't seem to contact the named service.While I am certain that my firewalls are configured correctly ( as I was able to connect through with Cyberkit on the other ports that are open ), I have even switched off the firewalls on both machines entirely to rule them out. And they still can't connect.

I'm trying to setup a linux box to act as just a DNS server. Its something I'd like to use just for WAN type requests and leave other domain related things to the Server running WIndows.At this point on my Linux box, I can run queries and nslookups from it. I can not however, from a Windows box, run a NSLOOKUP command from the Linux box which is telling me to check the permissions from Linux to enable that for the clients. It's enabled.From a C: I type in nslookup - *ip of Linux box* and it tells me -- Can't find server name for address.

i have MySQL on my CentOS server and have installed it and got it up and running through the command line.
I have changed root's username and password so there is no user called 'root' anymore. I also created a database called pancakes.Now when i try to log in using Query Browser, i put the server's IP in 'hostname', my new roots username and password in 'username' and 'password'.When i try to log in it gives me error 1130 and says connection from myhostname not allowed.

There is a partnering website that provides an RSS feed to display on the website I am working on. The website displays information on the feed every time a user accesses the website. The feed changes almost every day. For bandwidth considerations and speed, I would like to download the feed once by the server using a crontab job (my website is in a linux shared hosting environment). The problem exists with the URL structure, which I have no control over.
Here is the URL:
Code:
[code]....
I am aware that there are characters that need escaping and this is where I am getting my errors. I have never written a shell-script but I am also assuming some of the characters are keywords in the Shell Scripting language or Linux I am also aware that I can avoid having to escape by enclosing the URL with single or double quotes. You will notice that the URL has BOTH single and double quotes, so its not as simple.

We've got crontabs set up in /etc/cron.d to run various things, and we have them running as a specific local user.
Watching the LDAP logs, I can see the servers in question making requests for that username to the LDAP server every time cron runs, even though that user isn't in LDAP and is only local. nsswitch is configured to do "files ldap" as well.
The constant stream of LDAP queries is killing LDAP and making it impossible to log into our boxes.
why cron is querying LDAP for a local user?

I have sendmail setup with sasl and multiple domains.I'm sure there is an easy fix for this but I can send emails to anyuser@<anyofmyvirtualdomains.dom> and it will be accepted. I'm just trying to cut down on any confusion that may occur later. Is it possible "restrict" or classify a user into a particular domain? I've setup virtusertable and aliases but no luck in accomplishing my goal.I've searched to find no particular information on this.

I am busy learning shell scripting, and I managed to get my first few right, but now I am trying to do something that I know how to do in Windows, but not in Linux. Basically, during a file copy, I want to create a new date for each folder on a daily basis to copy backups into.so, in windows the syntax would be "xcopy %systemroot%ackupslah.blah \servernameackups\%date%"in linux I am running a "cp blah.gz /mount/blah" I want to create a folder with the date based on the current date.anyone know how to get the same right in shell script?

I have an access database and I would like to build a website on the slackware 12.2 server running apache 2.11.14 to let users query data from the MS Access database. I am thinking that I could just do it in jscript and make a jdbc connection and that should be good. What do you guys think.

How do I know the reply was from caching-nameserver, master nameserver or slave nameserver in BIND DNS.? Can I trace the nameserver that replied my dns query? Like I have a master nameserver, a slave nameserver and a caching nameserver in my network. Is it possible to know that which of these servers replied my dns query? Also can i trace back that replying server exactly?

I recently turned on query logging on our name server and immediately saw repeated queries for . (dot). I've not seen this before. It looks like a really sloppy DOS. What would this return if my NS was misconfigured?

I have my own internal bind9 server, for my local domain, and I forward internal requests for public domains to OpenDNS servers. This server is not in a DMZ, but is instead behind an dynamic NAT. I do not accept queries from the public network, only responses. I understand that DNS is primarilly a UDP protocol, so it can't pass through a stateful/nat. without a firewall allow.
I've done a little reading and learned that bind9 does not run 53 <-> 53 anymore (is now >1024 <-> 53), and modified my config so it works like bind4 did, but I am concerned that this makes me less secure. additionally, I'd really rather not have a completely open 53 rule, but it seems that if I constrain 53 traffic to my known forwarders, it interfers with some of my network services like transmission. so, what firewall rules would you guys recommend for recieving forwarded DNS query responses to my server?

I'm using Net::Bluetooth to create an RFCOMM socket on my Linux box. I need for it to register with SDP with a specific UUID. The perl code can be viewed in this link. I am unable to make the connection from a remote device however. This remote device (my Android phone) is able to connect to other RFCOMM devices using this UUID. I would like to troubleshoot the problem, but I can't find a way to browse the LOCAL SDP records of my PC where the Perl script is running (and waiting for incoming BT connections). how to browse the SDP records on the local PC?

I am on a CentOS 64 bit and used webmin to rotate MySQL slow query log. Now the thing is although logs are being rotated daily but the new log files being created are empty which means MySQL is unable to write them due to some reason. I have checked using "ls -l" that both permission and owner of files is same but still MySQL is not writing logs. What could be the reason?
