I then did a system reboot, and got this message "/etc/init.d/rc :Line 221:/etc/rc2.d/S16ssh :Permission denied" ls -l on S16ssh gives me this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 ..... S16ssh --> ../init.d/ssh ls -l on ssh gives me this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root My take on all of this is that I am n...

http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_DefaultRoot.html # This causes proftpd to perform a chroot into the authenticating user's directory # immediately after login. # Once this happens, the user is unable to "see" higher level directories. # Because a group-expression is...

rsync has a -c option to check the files using a checksum instead of a timestamp. That would be one way to ensure the files are always correct every time you run a backup, but it'll go alot slower. You could create a md5sums file in every directory or maybe one based on all of the data you backup an...

I'm not sure what that rule is, but I don't think you want to change it... I put my custom rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/z99_local.rules. I don't know enough to help you write one for your radio, but you should be able to get some unique information to help you write one by doing a udevadm info -a -n /...

I've never used this card or anything in the 5000 series, but http://adaptec.com/en-US/_common/linux/ (linked from the Compatibility section on the 5405 product page) says that drivers are included in in the kernels with RHEL 3, 4, and 5 and CentOS. RHEL/CentOS 5 uses kernel 2.6.18, which is much ol...

The default mysql configuration doesn't listen on public interfaces. I think Etch or Lenny use skip-networking and Squeeze and later use bind-address = 127.0.0.1 instead because there were some unexpected problems caused by skip-networking. You need to edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf and make sure that these...

Looks like the drive is dropping off right after you connect it. Are the other drives/enclosures just like this one? I don't know why it'd work on Windows and not on Linux unless it's a kernel bug. If the enclosures are different (and you can easily get at the drives), does the drive in the problema...

The device path should be /dev/sdd1 not /sdd1, or was that a typo?

My /etc/profile has some bits for the prompt: if [ "$PS1" ]; then if [ "$BASH" ]; then PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' else if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then PS1='# ' else PS1='$ ' fi fi fi Doesn't yours? I'm pretty sure this is the default... Or are you saying it's not working? My /etc/b...

If you're using 'uploads' in the config file and the homedir for the ftp user is /home/ftp, then it's /home/ftp/uploads. I wouldn't put an anonymous ftp root at /. If you want the uploads dir in root for easy local access, make a symlink.

ProFTPD can lookup the homedir with the < Anonymous ~ftp> directive or you can do <Anonymous /path/to/dir> . Here's what I use for my public ftp: <Anonymous ~ftp> AnonRequirePassword off User ftp Group ftp UserAlias anonymous ftp UserDirRoot on TransferRate APPE,STOR,STOU,RETR 250000 MaxClients 32 M...

http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/raid/sas_raid/SAS-3805/ says that "Only drivers that are not included or embedded within a supported operating system are listed below." . Obviously they're not going to list every distribution under the sun, but Fedora 6 and CentOS 5 both use kernel 2....

I can use Gigabit Ethernet which I already have, or I could get a PCMCIA card for eSATA and a new drive. Which is better for performance? I'm not sure. It's going to depend on the speed of the hard drives, the PCMCIA controller, and the processor. With my 1TB WD Black drives I can get around 110MB/...

I'm not sure if cron will monitor /etc/crontab for changes. Have you tried restarting the daemon?

USB is probably slowing you down quite a bit and chewing up your CPU. If your laptop had eSATA you could try an eSATA enclosure instead, otherwise gigabit ethernet should be faster than USB. If you were willing to deal with a more involved backup and restoration process, you should be able to reduce...

That's just the UID and GID of the owner of the directories/files. tar preserves ownership and permissions if you extract as root unless you use the --no-same-owner and --no-same-permissions options: --same-owner try extracting files with the same ownership as exists in the ar- chive (default for su...

I'm not sure about file managers, but 'mv' wouldn't allow something like that: -(~/tmp) mkdir -p t/htdocs -(~/tmp) touch htdocs -(~/tmp) mv -f htdocs t/ mv: cannot overwrite directory `t/htdocs' with non-directory Do you know any filenames or directories inside the htdocs directory? If so, "fin...

Skip the filesystem and read/write directly to the /dev/mdX device. Obviously any writes will destroy any data on the particular array, so make sure you don't have anything important on there. bonnie++ needs a directory, so you'd need a file system on there to test that, maybe you try a few differen...

with the allocsize should i have made it equal to the chunk size? allocsize is for file size allocation on the disk and it's related to fragmentation. It should equal what you believe is the overall average file size. A general purpose filesystem shouldn't need to change from the default value. Lik...

I believe this is what I had for my md raid5 tuning at home before moving to hardware raid (/etc/rc.local): # raid tuning for i in /sys/block/sd* do if [ "`cat $i/device/scsi_level`" = 6 ]; then echo 64 > $i/queue/max_sectors_kb # 512 echo 512 > $i/queue/nr_requests # 128 #if [ "`ls -...
