I would like to update to the newest distribution using dist‐upgrade.
Is there a way to validate if update was successfully?
For example I would like to work few days with updated version and check few log files for possible errors.
How can one ensure that one is looking at the real web page? This is important if you are going to download an iso image or validate md5 sums.For example, the Ubuntu web page here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...tion/MinimalCDHas information about certificates available in the URL bar. (If you look at the left of the URL, one can click on the certificate information.)Surprisingly, there is no such certificate information available at this other Ubuntu web page:

View 8 Replies View RelatedI guess this is the right place to put questions about iptables, so forgive me if it is not.I have a MySQL database which I need to allow connections to: 1 - the internal network; 2 - the web server (Apache) connections;3 - A user who is out of this network in a range of dynamic IP.Let's suppose the range IP for this user is 179.4.247.0-179.4.247.254 and the server; where is MySQl and Apache is 60.22.30.232. This user will use the windows client MySQL tool to make connections into this database.
So I think these rule below allow connections to the internal network and apache:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm testing some (selfwritten) installer scripts and I'd like to test it on several linux systems. From my script, I create a database and a user, which should have no rights but to the objects created on that database. I create that user with "grant usage on <dbname>.* to 'user'@'%' identified by After that, the user exists, but is not allowed to login with mysql client (same procedure works fine on debian systems). At first thought, I supposed, that I did a mistake on database setup, but then I realized, that I could connect from a different workstation using that user.
To me it looks very strange, that that user sees information_schema and test, but not the database, I used at user creation. From my script I check success of db and user creation by using the created user for connection and exec a 'show databases', which should show the new created db. What am I missing with mysql on Suse systems? Is my expectation wrong, did I make a mistake on database setup or what do I have to change to validate success of my script?
Is there any inbuilt function other than strncmp which can evaluate a string.my requirement is " if all 10 values are spaces print 1 else if it contains some values print 2 else print 3.if i use strlen, even space is counted.I know that i can evaluate using for loop by checking 1 by 1 char, and using strcmp function, is there any other way?

mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0 patched with apache22.diff
Symptom: when trying to use mod_auth_mysql to validate access to a directory via mysql DB, get prompted for user name and password but never find user and password combination despite using good values for login to mysql (same values in apache directory statements work as a cli login to mysql) and confirmed as valid in the user_info table (see values supplied to prompt in select * from user_info). Mysql general log does not show any attempt to access, strace does not show any attempt to setup local connection to mysql port. In a working version in Fedora I setup to test do see access described in the general log and strace shows a setup to mysql port. No useful messages in slackware apache access_log, error_log, mysql error logs, system logs.Have tried many combinations of mysqld variables, apache variables, mod_auth_mysql versions and variables, to no avail. Reinstalled apache, mysqld, etc.
I need do a small interfaz, it works under bash. I read the user name and password from the terminal then i need validate this data.
My principal dude is:
how look in the /etc/passwd file a user and passwd?
The problem is the password is encrypted and i need compare with the data I read.
Only I can use BASH because it is school homework.
I am trying to install a Red Hat cluster on my servers. In order to configure an heart bit between the servers I must give a valid multicast address. I wanted to know if there is a way to validate a multicast address before using it. For example if it is already in use i don't want to use it.
I read a little about it and there is a Perl module called IO::Socket::Multicast: [URL] There is a tool called mcasttrest.pl: [URL] Oracle use it to test multicast. But I am not sure what will do the trick in Red Hat cluster.
We're trying to validate LDAP authentication from Linux against our AD global catalog servers. I'm seeing lots of LDAP query tools, but what I need is a free/open source application that can use LDAP to query AD to authenticate... something as simple as entering the hostname/IP of our AD/global catalog server and the port, then passing an AD username/password to it to validate logon capability. Anyone know of any software/apps that can do this? I don't want to get into configuring Samba for LDAP or trying to authenticate my actual Linux server again AD... I just want an application that uses LDAP for authentication.

While upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu I noticed a warning saying that the installation/upgrade should not be interupted. Unfortunately though, during this process my computer froze up and I had to shut it down. Ubuntu no longer starts on my computer. I still have Windows though, which is what I'm using now.

This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later. I tried again several times in different days and it is the same. I have 10.4 recently updated from my original installation of 9.10. I think it was not a pre-release, I did it automatically from the website and it took a long time. As far as I know, all I have installed is official, except perhaps Skype itself.
I was trying to update from 9.04 to 9.10.
During the installation, I kept getting tons of errors. Finally something came up saying that I had to abort the installation and it did some stuff. I tried running an application, but I got an error. So I restarted the system.
The normal screen came up where I had to choose the Ubuntu stuff (I'm new to Ubuntu) in the box. I noticed that it had gone to 8.10... which I had earlier before installing 9.04, which went great. So I chose the first on and the system failed to start. I rebooted and tried all the other options, but they all had errors. Now I'm booted to Windows.
I installed Ubuntu from a CD I created. But it is now outdated because it is 8.10, and I have already upgraded to 9.04. 9.04 to 9.10 is where stuff went wrong.
