Mar 8, 2010

I am trying to setup a file server for a small office but have hit a couple of hurdles, is there a step by step guide how to setup a network for windows and mac computers to use it? I had setup a share etc but once I restarted the server all the files disappeared which I had in the home folder? Also when I setup users how can I use passwords that I select as everytime I set one it encrypts it and uses that instead of my one?

Server :: LDAP Resources / Tips / Tricks For Small Vhost Setup

Apr 14, 2010

I have looked around a while for the answer, but nothing really fits. Here is the scenario. I have one server and a few openvz VE's running. I want to be able to auth whatever possible with LDAP. I have an LDAP server setup on the host and auth works for the server users. The tricky part for me is that every VE has their own domain. and if I can do that, they will also have the same login for their VE on said domain. I can setup users and the required software on the hosts and guest, but I guess I am confused at how to manage the multiple domain part of things.

not sure if proftp can do 'name based' stuff like apache, but if it can, we can point ftp.clientdomain.foo to the main server and handle it that way.

Ubuntu Servers :: Mail Server For 400 Small Domains - Which One To Use?

Sep 1, 2011

I am going to try and replace our crappy Windows/imail server with a new ubuntu 10.04 LTS based machine. It will end up with about 400 domains on it with around 3000 users total. 96% of the domains have very light use. 4% of the domains have heavy use but do not send any bulk mail.

Can someone here recommend a mail server software package that would be easy to administrate and easy to backup/replicate? All we need is POP with webmail. We do not need IMAP or want any group/collaborative functions.

What do you usually use for anti-spam on a linux mail server? We want to keep it all open source if possible.

For hardware we are looking at an HP DL360 G5 with dual Xeons, 4G of ram, and the P400 controller with 6 SAS 15k drives. Do you think a server like this will be able to handle the mail on linux? Volume is around 400k messages a day inbound with about 10% being legit/90% being spam. The server will be dedicated to mail hosting and will not host websites.

Ubuntu :: Backup Software For Small Home Office Setup

Jul 25, 2010

I have spent some time testing out different backup solutions for my small home office during the last weeks, but still haven't found anything that have been working out too well yet. We can definitely work with a non-GUI script if that's what it takes, if only the requirements are fulfilled:
- Upload to Amazon S3 Europe. We get unbelievable slow uploading speed to US, so uploading 400+ GB of data will not be happening anytime this year...
- Incremental backups - only changed files shall be uploaded or we will have a big bill from Amazon in the end of each month..
- Files should not be uploaded in one big per-folder archive. This is not efficient at all, since if we change one file in a subfolder, a huge two-digit GB sized file would have to be uploaded during next backup. Not good for economy again, or traffic overhead on our internet connection.

Networking :: Small Business Trixbox Setup With Redundancy ?

I have been using Trixbox CE for a couple of years and a client has asked me to setup a VOIP system with two phones and a couple of extensions.

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup The Server From The Beginning

Oct 8, 2010

I am completely new to everything linux, however I decided that it was time to do something with an old pc I had and I was thinking of setting it up as a home server. I look around for an easy guide on how to set up the server from the begining but I can't seem to find one that's good for a complete beginner like me.What I would like to do is to had the server as a place where I keep all my movies, music etc and be able to acces it from my home network and also from outside of it. Also, I would like to connect my two printers to this server and share them on the network.

Is there a place where I can find simple information about what I want to do and is it possible for a complete beginner like me to do what I want to do?

Ubuntu Servers :: How To Setup A TFTP Server

Nov 12, 2010

I am trying to setup a TFTP server and followed these instructions in setting up TFTP-HPA.

[URL]

I pretty much followed every step but commented out these two lines from the /etc/xinet.d/tftp.

# only_from = 172.31.0.240/28
# interface = 172.31.0.252

Do we really need the lines if I am allowing any machine to connect? And I have only 1 network card. This is acting as a dedicated TFTP server.I ask as I get an error on the get and put commands as below:

tftp> get xxx.txt
tftp: error received from server <File not found>
tftp: aborting

However although it gives an error it DOES GET the file.The put command however does NOT put the file. I have nobody / nogroup setup for the directory permissions as well.

tftp> put .vimrc
tftp: error received from server <File not found>
tftp: aborting

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup A Server For The Company?

I need to set up a server for my company.There are only 4 people working here and we want a server that will allow us to run a cloud-like system. We want to be able to log in and use programs and have our files available from within the office and at home. I've used Citrix in the past and would like something similar, but free/open source if possible.I want an Ubuntu based server that gives the user a windows compatible environment. What I mean is it needs to be able to run windows software.What kind of hardware do I need? We want to run fairly resource hungry software like GIS and mapping software. I want to run Ubuntu server but what other software will I need?

It is working well and all, but I am curious as to how to make it send out email alerts to my team when a commit occurs.Also, are their any good GUI tools to manage a subversion server in Ubuntu. The command line is fine since I made some scripts but a nice GUI would be great! Maybe that could be a fun project to work on.

Ubuntu Servers :: Secure File Server Setup

Dec 29, 2010

I am going to set up a file server on Ubuntu. I have searched a while, but can't seem to find a guide to what I want. The requirements specifications are the following:File server: possible to upload, change and download files.Linux (Ubuntu) clients, Windows clients if possible.Access restriction to deny access to other than registered users.Only the user should be able to read the content of the files.Ideally root should not be able to see the individual files, but in worst case it is ok for root to see the files.Root should not be able to open the files.Point 1-3 is easy to find out how to set up. But I can't seem to find a way to deny root to view the files. The only solution I can think of is to encrypt files or a whole folder, but I don't know how to set it up.

The setup is for a home network, but the server used as a file server will have a web server as well. If someone manages to get access to the server I don't want them to be able to read the files.

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup A DNS Server On Local Network?

Jun 14, 2011

I am trying to setup a DNS server on my local network. When I set linux clients to use it, it works as expected. However, when I set windows clients to it, the root name doesn't resolve. For example, I have a zone called daniel. On linux "anything.daniel" resolves to the correct ip as does "daniel" which is the behavior I want. However, on windows 7, "anything.daniel" resolves correctly, but "daniel" doesn't. I am new to BIND9 so my config is mostly copy and pasted. Here is my zone file for daniel (where #.#.#.# is the ip I want daniel to resolve to):

@ IN SOA ns1.daniel. admin.daniel. (
2007031001
28800
3600

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub-setup: Warn: Your Embedding Area Is Unusually Small. Core.img Won't Fit In It

May 3, 2011

I would like to backup my entire Ubuntu installation (/boot, swap and /) at /dev/sda (4GB) to /dev/sdb (10GB).I recreated the exact partitions on /dev/sdb, formatted and cp -rp all the files over.For /boot, I used

Code:

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1

It didn't boot successfully as the system kept rebooting. I then tried to install grub onto the MBR and boot partition (mounted at /mnt/tempboot).

Code:

grub-install --force --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/tempboot /dev/sdb

But I get an error:

Code:

grub-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit in it.

Anyhow, since I forced grub-install, I believe the grub is installed. I rebooted the system and I get a grub prompt:

Code:

grub>

Grub seems to not find my grub.cfg but it is present.

General :: Is It Legal To Open A Small Business To Setup (Ubuntu) Desktops / Create Websites

Oct 8, 2009

Since Ubuntu and other Linux Distros are free to download and distribute. Would it be illegal for me to have a Small Business of my own that would charge individuals/small-businesses to Install and Setup Linux desktops. I wasn't sure how that GPL license worked. I figured I would be charging individuals for setting up Linux Desktops on their machines or small business/offices and training/teaching them on the various applications they could install on their own.

Also, would it be illegal to create websites using Apache, Tomcat and other Open Source tools and then sell those sites. I figured many people are turned off by learning or installing something other than Windows desktops on their pcs, just because it is different. If this cannot be done under the GPL license, then could someone tell me how I could go about starting my own small business to legally Setup/Install Linux distributions.

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup A File Server For Local Network?

Aug 15, 2010

I'm trying to setup a NAS for my network, the only problem is that I can't figure out how to do it. On my network I have about 3 computers however only I only use 2 of them so I thought that maybe I could use the third computer in such a way that I could access it 24/7 from the internet as a server for all of my files (school papers, music etc etc...). The only problem is that I don't know where to get started. Both of the computers I'm currently using are Windows and the one that I,hopefully, can turn into a server is running on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Servers :: Setup An OpenVPN Server In Bridged Mode?

Jan 17, 2011

I am trying to setup an OpenVPN server in bridged mode (Ubuntu 10.04 Lts). The goal is for the clients to be able to reach all the servers behind Openvpn server's lan. I have followed the official OpenVPN guide for Ubuntu 10.04.

My network setup is:

Private lan: 10.90.90.0-255 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.90.90.1
Openvpn server ip: 10.90.90.8
Gateway public ip: 79.xxxxxxxxx

I have forward port 1195 to the Vpn server through my gateway firewall.Besides that no other firewall is running.I can connect and ping the server both from windows and ubuntu clients. The difference is that from windows I can reach the private lan but not from ubuntu clients.
