This occurred sometime in the past couple of days, perhaps because of an update that I just blindly accepted or due to some tinkering of my own. But for some reason, my gksudo never remembers the password I put in there anymore. When I sudo in a terminal it remembers no problem, and my sudo-via-terminal also responds to the "timestamp_timeout=x" variable in /etc/sudoers as it should. But does gksudo have it's own "/etc/sudoers" file where you can override the caching period for the password or does it reference the regular /etc/sudoers also?

Server is already in several blacklists and I desperately need to do something.
I've configured postfix on my linux server. For the most part, I got everything working (IMAP, apache, etc) but for some reason, I can't get postfix to work remotely. Postfix works locally to send mail. E.g. when I telnet locally to port 25. However, when I try to telnet from outside, the connection closes almost immediately. I've looked at various configuration options and tuning enhancements but found nothing helpful. Here is my config:

I am trying to run VNC server on a standard OpenSUSE 11.2 Gnome Desktop installation.I have done this succesfully with SLES for sometime, however, my experience with OpenSUSE 11.2 is that it doesn't work out of the box!!
I am using XP Pro VNC viewer Free Edition 4.1.2 to connect.
I have removed "localhost" from the # special IPv6 addresses in hosts. This fixes the black screen issue for me. All appears well until I disconnect and retry the connection after 5 minutes or so. Then VNC client makes the connection and then immediately disconnects. It's a no go from then on. If I reboot OpenSUSE 11.2 it works again but then reconnect fails again after the same period of time.
I am trying NX now as an alternative. However, I would much prefer to use VNC.

I set up a git repository on the live site of my website using git init. Then I created the same repo on my local machine using git clone command. Then I made a few changes and committed them to on my local repository. Then I tried to use git push origin alongside the ssh path to my repository on the remote machine to update my live website. However, I noticed that git-push only changes the head of my git repository on the remote machine and it doesn't change any file.
In order to update my remote repository I have to issue the following command after I use git-push.
PHP Code:
git reset --hard HEAD
This is a two-step process for committing changes to the live site. I was wondering if it's possible to merge these two steps in one to make life a little bit easier?
Note that, I'm the only one working on this project (sometimes from my laptop, sometimes from my desktop), so I trust all the commits.

I have somewhere between 8 and 12 servers, spread amongst different webhosts, all running CentOS 5.3. Everything on the servers has been compiled from source:
> EngineX, PHP, MySQL, Munin, etc
I compile from source because I usually run ./configure to modify the source before installing. What would be the easiest way to keep the server software updated? I am considering creating custom packages from a server which I would keep up to date manually. Then use Capistrano or Puppet to install those packages on all of my servers.
my /var/log/secure file is not getting updated with ssh logins from yesterday.Even the login from my own ip is not updated.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have configured master and slave Bind servers. Everything works fine. But whenever I add a new zone entry at master server it is not getting updated at slave server in logs I see this error:
client 192.168.1.1#43428: view external: received notify for zone 'yourdomainname.com': not authoritative
At master server I do not see any error or warning message. This error clearly indicates that named.conf file does not have zone entry in it or domain name is wrong. While checking the named.conf file I see that the zone entry has not been updated at slave server. If I update it manually and reload named on slave then zone files (db files) are getting created without any issue and any modification at master server for the zone records are also getting updated. My concern is why zone record is not getting appended at slave server in named.conf file.
Is there anything I am missing in the configuration. I am pasting the steps which I have followed to configure my master and slave server:
Configure Bind as master and slave server
Install Bind on your server
yum install bind
OR
sudu apt-get install bind9
Generate RNDC Key using the command
rndc-confgen -a -k rndc-key
it will stored in /etc/rndc-key file

we're about to migrate a set of workstations (ubuntu 10.04 LTS) to a new kerberos/LDAP setup. Basically, this requires the installation of some required deb packages and to copy some new .conf files over the original ones.We made a deb package having these "features":requires the needed other packages as dependenciesbacks up original conf filescopies the new conf files to the right places (i.e. /etc/krb5.conf,/etc/ldap.conf)The problem is: apt-get complains because the deb is "touching" files owned by other packages (kerberos, ldap, etc.). Therefore, the only way to skip this check is either to force apt-get to proceed or using the "replaces" directive in the deb control file, specifying the clashing packages. omething like this:

I have installed CentOS 5.3 with Xen on a PowerEdge 2650 machine with 6GB of RAM. As usual, PAE was already enabled so I did not have any problem with utilising all of the memory. However after upgrading to the latest release of the kernel (2.6.18-128.7.1.el5xen), memory available decreased to 4GBs. Then I switched back to the old kernel and 6GB was there. Then finally have switched back to the new kernel and 6GB is again there. So now PAE seems to be enabled but what concerns me is the inconsistent behaviour. (Also I am not sure the reason was the upgraded kernel.)

Now I have pushed the public keys for remote ssh connectivity on all of them and it works ( I can push files using rsync without the need to enter passwords on the remote servers), howver, I need to run the following command:

when I run this command, I keep getting asked to enter the password, I even tried putting sudo in front of the cp, but still get the request to enter the password.
I've seen how to do this from native linux native server to linux native server. Not a problem. My question has to do with ssh/scp exchange of key exchange between a windows cygwin server and a linux server.There seems to be no /home/root/.. to hold the key exchange files. I've tried this between a cygwin server with a /home/administrator/..subdirectory and the /root subdirectory on the linux server. Is this how I should do this?Someone else set this up between these two servers earlier but forgot to document how it was done in his notes.I don't want to break the existing systems by setting up the key generation incorrectly on the functioning pair's of servers.
