View 8 Replies View RelatedSo I was following the majority of this guideand sometime last night my computer went awry. First all my icons went blank, and I was unable to open anything. I had to reboot, and upon trying to log back in as a user I got an error /bin/bash: Command not found. I tried removing the user completely and starting from scratch but I am unable to remove the /home/user/.bash_history file. I even tried with root. I'm at a complete loss, confused. I know I did have to chomd 644 the entire /etc directory because I was getting some permission errors there.

For this testing i have used apache ab benchmarking toolFrom this statistics i would like to clarify the performances about Apache and Tomcat.
1. why Tomcat have taken too much of time to finish this 10 million requests to compare with Apache?
2. why this huge different for "Request per Second"?
3. To Tomcat i have increased multi thread level 300 and JVM memory usage upto 2048mb(but performances not increased), rather than these, is there any other performance tune-up settings for Tomcat?
4. from these statistics, can i come to the conclusion that apache is the best?
5.do u feel that ab tool favouring to Apache?
When I google this I get a million results, most of which are either too in-depth to be practical or advertisements for one solution or another. Is there a general guideline for hardening a linux (kubuntu) system? A set of steps say, to close all ports and disable all listening services like you would do to a windows machine? I can hardly believe that there are NO vulnerable points of attack on a default kubuntu 10.10 install. I don't know very much right now so I'm looking for something to fill in the gaps and translate my knowledge of windows (in)security into a holistic view of how the penguin operates.

I installed Fedora Core 13 x86-64 from the installation DVD and picked the "Software Development" installation. I notice that the Applications->System Tools menu doesn't have "File Browser" on it.
Nautilus is installed, so I can create a launcher for it. I'm merely curious whether this is a change or bug in FC 13? Or should I suspect that I myself deleted the file browser launcher accidentally? The machine is a laptop and I find the mousepad awkward to use.
I found lots of pepole who belongs to India and using BSNL Data card wants to connect Internet from fedora so I thought post a thread which will help all how are using BSNL EVDO Data Card. At first click on application - System Tools - Terminal enter the following code on your terminal
Updated part starts here When I was using Fedora 10 I post this thread on that time gedit worked properly with "su" Now here if you are using Fedora 14 and by using su gedit is not appearing then try
Code:
su -
instaed of only "su" hope gedit will work properly. If dose not work then you can follow the next post instructions. Or you can ask in the forum for I am updating "su" by "su -" If you are using earlier version you can try by only "su" or "su-" if none of this works then follow next post. Just remember you have do this in a single terminal and step by step to avoid maximum uses of "su" or "su -"

I've been busy with configuring Samba with the 389-Directory Server (former Fedora Directory Server) for the past weeks and I almost have everything working. The last thing (I hope) that I haven working are the smbldap-tools which I'd like to use for adding computers and users to the domain. The part where I'm stuck is with the security certificates. I don know how to get the client certificates out of my installation.
My smbldap.conf file contains this:
Code:
# $Source: $
# $Id: smbldap.conf,v 1.18 2005/05/27 14:28:47 jtournier Exp $
#
# smbldap-tools.conf : Q & D configuration file for smbldap-tools
# Purpose :
# . be the configuration file for all smbldap-tools scripts .....
I used the setupssl2.sh script to setup ssl for my 389-ds, which seemed to have worked fine. I however simply have no clou how to get client certificates out of this.
I run a compute cluster with only a few users. Occasionally a user will accidently run a job on the master node that runs out RAM/swaps then hanges up for a while.In /etc/security/limits.conf I have set memlock to 7.5GB (master has 8GB RAM) and maybe that is what lets the machine come back rather than hanging completely? Is this the right setting to physocally limit a single user from asking for more RAM than the system has and bringing down the system? Should I set this to 2GB or so or is there something else I can do??

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs their a command I could use to do this? It needs to be 32MB (33,554,432 bytes), can be either random data or just a blank file, though random data would be preferable, and well... that's it.
Though also, is their a way I could copy the file in a terminal and it print out the info such as average speed and/or total time it took to complete. I'm trying to fight some bad reviews on this flash drive I bought that performs very well, and since stupid comment vs stupid comment doesn't win anything I need to apparently be the first to actually test this drive throughly.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSystem activity monitoring tools - top, iotop, ntop, sar, collectl, etc - may be a good reference to judge the system activity when the system transitions to sleep state.But if I make the system transition to sleep state when i/o activity is zero during 15 minutes, for example, it won't sleep forever because slight i/o by daemons, etc occurs continuously even if no user i/o.So how can I judge the system activity to change the state by using those tools?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a VPS (Ubuntu 8.04 server eition) and as such am stuck with using a software firewall.
i currently have UFW installed.
I would ideally like to have my firewall be a little rude, or rather just not polite. I know what i am asking will break the RFC, but i consider this ok due to the security benefits.
I would like to have my firewall
1) ignore (eg drop without responding)all packets that dont start with a syn flag
2)for all other traffic that is currently blocked, have it dropped (again drop it without responding)
If there are any other rules you can think of i would like to know them. I already have only the services i want open and the rest blocked.
I've installed pingplotter freeware on LinuxMint8 Helena thru Wine, but while it installed and runs successfully, does not seem to ping any host.I'm literally addicted to this program in WinXP, cos my pathetic Wireless Broadband ISP keeps going up and down, so I need to constantly know what the status of the connection is.Has anyone had any success in making ping plotter freeware successfully ping in Linux?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to linux (but love it), and I want to start doing the books for my home based business on linux since it is more reliable then Winblows. So I was wondering if anybody knew of some accounting software that is user friendly and fits my needs. Mainly, I need to do these things:
- Repeatedly send out bills, estimates, and invoices via email (preferably that can be set to automatically send scheduled repeat invoices as well)
- Record and keep track of business expenses, vehicle mileage and help budget expenses.
- Store client information and auto insert into invoices, estimates, etc.
- Make reports on gross and net earnings.
That is pretty much all I need it for. It is for a lawn business if that also helps. Jobs repeat on a weekly basis, so I just need a way to keep track of clients, expenses, earnings, and bill for one time and regularly scheduled jobs. I may settle for pay software if there are no freebies that do the trick, but I prefer freeware/open source. I am running Linux Mint 7 KDE edition on a desktop.
I wanted to know how can I cross compile SMS SERVER TOOL for an embedded computer and make just one binary file for it or how can I change all of its default files places like its demon and object file and gather all of them to one directory to execute and use and run.let me explain it better for you : I have an embedded computer with Linux OS that its file system is read only and I can not add any file to /usr /lib and ..... and I can just mount a SD memory card to it and copy all of my programs to it and run them from there as you understand I have two choices to choose, first make one big binary file for each program that I am doing it now and it is not a suitable solution and the second is finding the way to change default place of shared object file of my program.now you tell me what can I do to solving this problem.
