How to relocate $HOME directory
by Soo-Hyun Choi 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi there, As you know, $HOME is generally located at "/home/$username" by default. I would like to re-locate all users' $HOME directories to something like "/export/home/$username" without having a hassle/trouble. Initially, I've thought of just copying them to the new directory (under /export/home/xxx), but guessed it might trouble for the normal use (I'm pretty new to CentOS, although many experiences with Debian/Ubuntu). Is there any good tricks (or caveats) when moving users' home … [View More]

syslog socket limit
by Xinhuan Zheng 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi, Syslogd has an option "-a socket". According to man page, this additional sockets is limited to 19. Currently I do need to have more than 19 sockets that syslogd needs to listen on. How can I accomplish that if I don't want to change syslogd.c code? Thanks, - xinhuan

OT: Recommendations for a virtual storage server
by carlopmart 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi all, I need to install a virtual machine acting as a virtual storage server under CentOS 5.x (using kvm, xen, virtualbox or vmware). This virtual storage machine needs to server storage to another ESXi server and at the same time to the host where is installed. This is due to the limitations of hardware I have available. Both hosts needs to server several machines. It is very important that the virtual machine consumes the least resources possible (host has 5GB RAM and i need … [View More]

Groups
by Jason S-M 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi All, On one of my servers I have a personal account and root. I disable root for ssh logins and run ssh on an alternative port. When 'scp'ing files I usually scp them up, then ssh in 'su' root and move them to /var/www/html. I can sftp I realize, but what group can I add my personal account to, but not root, so I can sftp in and put the files in /var/www/html? Secondarily /var/www/html/<my website> is owned by root:root, can I change this to something else so my sftp'ing is easier? … [View More]
