to edit your hosts file to point an ip (eg: 100.0.0.1) to a www address (eg: www.linux-noob.com) do this

 

su -

 

vi /etc/hosts

 

press INSERT on your keyboard

 

change it from

 

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

# that require network functionality will fail.

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

 

 

to

 

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

# that require network functionality will fail.

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

100.0.0.1 www.linux-noob.com linux-noob

 

press ESCape on your keyboard

 

write the changes with

 

:wq

 

thats it

 

now when you type [/url][url=https://www.linux-noob.com]https://www.linux-noob.com (or whatever it was) you won't get the ip address or host not found, you'll get the www address :-)

cool

 

cheers

I'm normally used to using FreeBSD, which has the ntpdate command to update the server's time to match a time server. However, that command doesn't exist on redhat. What's the equivalent? I badly need to update the time on my webserver.

This is NOT for 2.6.X. There is a README in /usr/src/linux that contains these instructions in much more detail. I am using using the 2.4.24 kernel as an example. If you have not already done so, download your kernel source and install it in /usr/src.

 

1. cd /usr/src/linux (if /usr/src/linux doesnt exist, create a link from /usr/src/linux-2.4.24 to /usr/src/linux with the command ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.24 /usr/src/linux )

 

2. make distclean (this sets the source package back to the default)

 

3. edit your makefile. change the EXTRAVERSION = on the forth line to an extension that will identify this new kernel build. ex. "EXTRAVERSION = -custom-1". if you are using pico or nano as your editor, be sure to include the "-w" option to turn off line wrap or you will trash your makefile.

 

If this is a stock kernel and you have never built a kernel before, Redhat supplies config files that match their precompiled kernels in /usr/src/linux/config. Pick the one that matches your hardware and copy the provided config into /usr/src/linux/.config. If you are not using Redhat, your going to have to wing it. :-)

 

4. make mrproper menuconfig use the menuconfig to set the options you want in your kernel. If you are reading this as a guide, then you are probably not very experienced in building kernels. A suggestion would be to make small changes, compile and install the kernel and make sure it works before you start making major changes.

 

5. make bzImage modules modules_install This will take some time to complete. Have a cup of coffee.

 

6. cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.4.24-custom-1

 

7. cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.24-custom-1

 

8. cp /usr/src/linux/.config /boot/config-2.4.24-custom-1 This is not required, but it is sometimes handy to be able to get back to the config you used to create a kernel. This puts it in a safe place and its name matches it to the kernel you just built.

 

cd /boot

 

9. mkinitrd initrd-2.4.24-custom-1 2.4.24-custom-1

 

10 edit /boot/grub/grub.conf (remember to use "-w" if you are using nano or pico)

create a new entry for your new kernel.

 

title=2.4.24-custom-1

root (hd0,0)

kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.4.24-custom-1 ro root=/dev/hda6

initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.4.24-custom-1

 

NOTE: in this case, my /boot partition is /dev/hda1 and my / (root) partition is /dev/hda6. Yours is probably different. Look at the other entries in your grub.conf and make the entries look the same.

Hi all...

 

I wrote this exe in VB to run on any win32 system(only tested on win98, win2k, and XP :^). chmodhelper.exe is a very very simple program to help out noobs with chmoding files. Basically, it's a learning tool for figure'n out the correct number squence for chmod'n files at command line.

 

example of the chmod command:

morbondu@linux%>chmod 755 public_html

 

Sorry, the chmodhelper.exe will not 'chmod' the file for you. Its a helping/learning tool for you to use while using a terminal connection (ssh) to a linux box while in Windows.

 

Screen shot:



 

The chmodhelper.exe is a standalone executable with no installer or uninstaller. All you have to do is click on the chmodhelper.exe. To delete the program, just delete the chmodhelper.exe file.

 

Download:

chmod helper

 

I hope it helps out a few of you.
