General :: Setting Up Network / Giving Servfail Error?
May 29, 2011
I am trying to setup ipv6 lan network.using Ubuntu 10.04 as DNS server.Able to resolve domain names from dns server itself but can't resolve from client machine (backtrack5). I have tried to flush iptables but still no effect; dig gives servfail error.I can ping both machines from one another.
I have a problem with the NTLM proxy we use in school. YAST proxy configuration won't work, it just says authentication error. We have to login with the user in DOMAINuser style and a password, in Firefox it works.
From last few days i am getting some log messages in /var/log/messages. The log is .... unexpected rcode (SERVFAIL) from master 192.168.110.8#53 I am not sure what is it.
I've been forced to setup a dns server on centos as the sys admin is away. I've installed Bind with chroot and its working fine, however I cant seem to get my domain to work. Below is the configuration
I had my server going pretty good. Two sites being hosted. Wilmingtoncoc and Mikealrhughes. Last night we had Thunderstorms and Tornadoes come through. While I was out Tornado chasing. We lost power here for an instant and back on. When I came in the server was off. So I booted it back up. The mikealrhughes site is still working good. The Wilmingtoncoc site is giving me a Database read error, it is a WordPress site. Also I can't log into the Server using SSH. Where do I start to repair the problem? Do I reinstall SSH if so what is the command I use? Then how do I solve the WordPRess Database problem? Also when I try and issue a command from the Server with sudo in front of it I get an error message that says - sudo: must be setuid root - whatever that means. I couldn't find that in any of the books I have.
I installed SLES 11 SP1 jeOS on my system. It is booting up properly. But when I tried to boot it up with "TrustedGrub", it comes up up to login level. When I given the login name and password, it shows an error "Error in service module".Then i couldn't login.
I have a ubuntu server , can advise if I want to change the network setting ( eg. IP address , gateway address etc ) , which one is the configuration file ? for example , if I want to change eth0 setting , what file I should update ?
I ahve configured MRTG to generate bandwidth utilization graphs of Network devices.

I have downloaded Ubuntu from a CD and burned it using Infrarecorder. When I tried to boot my netbook(Samsung N 140 with Win XP OS preloaded), it gives error message .i have tried the process several times and spent lot of time but to no avail.
I'm using postfix to send some mail from my cloud server via a web page on my website that uses PHPmailer to do SMTP authentication. My cloud server has a dedicated IP for all inbound and outbound data. The problem I am having is that it sends roughly 75 - 100 messages successfully before it returns the following error for the remaining few hundred recipients in my list:
SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: example@example.com Mailer Error [URL] SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: example@example.com SMTP server error: 5.5.0 Sender already specified
I work in a small research lab in my college and we work on Windows. I am planning to switch all the computers into Linux create a network.
This is a small job in the first step. I need to hook up 3 computers together such that they all communicate with a central computer (server). The users will have to log on to their accounts and run their work from the central server, be able to run applications (vlsi, CAD) stuff from the server. I (as root) should be able to take backups (using crontab I guess) and be able to create new users, administer.
Can anyone direct me to a manual or a website or a previous post that goes through these steps. I searched the forums and was lost in my effort
I only have used Linux on a standalone PC and have never networked before.
I'm running bind9 on Debian 6. I have a primary domain, 44kg.net, fully configured and working dynamically (the server also runs DHCPd and updates the DNS records properly).
[Code]....
To access my externally-facing website, which has a blog and a forum which are keyed to the external domain, I set up the domains in bind so they would resolve to the server's internal IP. This worked great for a few months, then inexplicably ceased working. I didn't touch anything, but it coincided with our router dropping its VLANs. I've moved the server to a different location and it's still not working properly. Whenever I try to lookup the external domains, I get SERVFAILs. This is annoying because the internal domain is fully working and I copied the basic settings.
I have changed nothing about the configuration of my checkgmail except for the icons. And yet, whenever I click on the subject of an email, it gives me a 404 error. When I use the links (delete, spam, archive, mark read) it does what it is supposed to do, but it does not allow me to view the content of a message. Does anybody have any idea of what could be causing this strange behavior? Gnome. 10.04. x64.
I have been looking for a while now, but I keep getting 403's for maps but not for files... So if you go to http://gmod.ws/ you get the error but if you go to http://gmod.ws/index.php you don't.I don't see where the problem is.We're running a CentOS 5.5 box.
I am trying to learn it, understand it, and maybe even become proficient with it (one day... ). After trying a few different flavors, I settled on Fedora XFCE, and installed v14 (i686) in a dual boot setting with Windows. I am running it on an HP laptop.I have had an issue ever since I installed a rather large list of updates a few days ago. One of which was a Linux kernel update to 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 (not really sure if that is significant, but I noticed the issue after selecting this kernel version in the boot menu). Now, anytime I try to add software, or run the update utility I get the error message:Quote:You have failed to provide correct authentication. Please check any passwords or account settings.
More Details:Failed to obtain authentication.There was no dialog to provide my password. I do understand there are alternatives to installing and updating software using yum, and I have been doing that a bit, however I would really like to understand why I am receiving this error. I have seen a few related posts as well as a some similar issues in a bug report, and testing session:bugzilla.redhat.com - 638344General a similar gpk-application issuecannot use Add/Remove software through VNCMy questions are:Is this a bug with one of the updates I downloaded?Is there a way to revert the changes from that update, or do I need to reinstall Fedora?Is this an issue with the User account I created? Is there a general set of options I should enable for myself as the primary user?
I have a tar file but when I try to install it is giving error. Here's what I did. Code: tar xjvf live.tar.bz2 cd live ./configure bash: ./configure: No such file or directory I have build-essential installed
I have a Ubuntu 10.04 desktop VM that is running torrent software, and it is saving the files to a samba share (which is actually the host it is running on). I have also tested from another Ubuntu box on the network and it experiences the same problem.
The problem I am having is that any torrent client on a Ubuntu machine or VM can't save to the samba share, but a WinXP torrent client can download the same torrent and save to the share with no problem.
I created a public share, and the problem seems to be that I cannot edit files after I create them. It seems that samba is ignoring the create mask and creating files as rw-r--r-- instead of rw-rw-rw-
I even tried adding the "unix extensions = yes" option and that didn't seem to work either.
Code: [global] # map any unknown username to nobody so login succeeds, don't forget to run: # smbpasswd -an nobody # so that it will work!
I have prepared a script which will login to each server and search for a keyword.I want output on same machine from where m running script.When i try to run command on any machine.. It works well.
I have a problem with trying to connect to VPN over linux. From OSX and Windows the VPN connection goes through fine. It was working flawlessly, for the last one month I never used the laptop or the VPN, however after booting recently 1 week ago the VPN always show as timedout. Some details about the vpn / pptp connection details:
Wvdial give me this error PHP Code: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60--> Warning: section [Dialer Defaults] does not exist in wvdial.conf. --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory
I'm trying to connect to a webdav server with very poor luck. My preference would be to mount it to my file system, but simply connecting with Cadaver would be fine too.
I've tried:
Code: mparks@mparks:~$ sudo mount -t davfs https://<host>:<port>/<path> /media/webdrives/<mount-dir> [sudo] password for mparks: Please enter the username to authenticate with server
