  Hosting your own domain on Gentoo!

This tutorial is for gentoo.. for a more general/fedora one try this by Jy:

otherwise for a more gentoo way...carry on reading...

 

before i say any more... i wanna say HI! its been a while since i've spent enough time online to write a tutorial.. but here goes.. i'm using Gentoo 2.6-gentoo-r6 here we go..

 

 

 

First off.. we need to install bind..and bind-tools (for dig/nslookup which we'll use near the end)

 



Code:
women root # emerge bind bind-tools




 

 

this shouldnt take long.. i didnt have any dependencies so it was pretty quick.. you might want to add -pv to see if there are gonna be loads and if you need to use USE if you dont want things installed like so:

 

Code:
women root # emerge bind bind-tools -pv
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies ...done!

  iptables - block all ports except 20-21
Posted by: magikman - 2005-01-27, 01:47 PM - Forum: Security and Firewalls - Replies (3)


Okay, I am trying to learn iptables. I have just built a new server that will be running samba, ssh, proftpd, and possibly apache in the near future. What i would like to do is close off all unneeded ports and only allow ports needed for my listed programs. I have been reading around on different sites about the iptables, but I would have to admit that i am a bit confused about the whole thing.

 

 

Okay, so, if i wanted to block all ports except 20-21 what would i have to do?

 

iptables -A -INPUT -i eth0 -sport 20:21 -j ACCEPT ??

 

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -sport 1:19 -j DROP ??

 

 

Lead me in the right direction!! please

  Bash the script - Then start crying cos it wont wo
Posted by: jimpy90 - 2005-01-26, 11:47 AM - Forum: How Do I? - Replies (3)


I am a noob. I can do basic linux stuff but i am trying to write a script to make this easier. I have never written a script before and i am actually suprised that i have got this fat without rm'ing my entire system.

 

I have several directories that cameras upload images to all day. Basically i want this script to run as a cron job and run at midnight every night and delete all but the last 3 days worth of files.

 

I found the easeiest way to find the files was using the `find` command, so i part wrote and part found this command. If i type this in to the console it works :). It will delete all but the last 3 days worth of files.

 

find /path/to/directory/ -mtime +3 -daystart -exec rm {} \;

 

i cant celebrate too soon though. i need this command to run on 5 different directories in:

 

/path/to/directory2/

/path/to/directory3/

/path/to/directory4/

/path/to/directory5/

 

So i repeat the command 5 times and put it in to a .sh file and try and run it. :s it says

find: missing argument to `-exec' 4 times and the last line says:

rm: cannot remove `/path/to/directory4/': Is a directory

 

the script as it stands is:

 



Code:
cleanup.sh
find /path/to/directory/ -mtime +3 -daystart -exec rm {} \;
find /path/to/directory1/ -mtime +3 -daystart -exec rm {} \;
find /path/to/directory2/ -mtime +3 -daystart -exec rm {} \;
find /path/to/directory3/ -mtime +3 -daystart -exec rm {} \;
find /path/to/directory4/ -mtime +3 -daystart -exec rm {} \;




 

Please any help/advice is welcome

Thanks in advance

 

Jim

  How-To: Fedora Core 3 on Compaq Persario SR1120NX
Posted by: Segments - 2005-01-25, 07:19 AM - Forum: Fedora Core Release 3 - No Replies


Most users who have tried to install a distro on their Compaq machine most likely ran into a brick wall known as a reboot loop after initrd.img loaded. Well after hours of troubleshooting and ripping out

hardware, it came down to one settiing in the BIOS (3.15). If your VRAM is anything over 1MB as a setting, it appears Linux goes nuts and won't install if at all. Setting the VRAM size to 1MB seems to clear the problem but I recommend getting a PCI Video Card until Compaq releases a newer BIOs to fix this bug.

 

Post comments if needed.
