RE: [Centos] Restart centos from Commandline

you need to learn business i think ) to create multi dollar business, you need ideas, a team of people, a vision and a risk. Try this what i said and may be if u become rich, drop me a thank you Lets drop the argument cos it will never end ( we both have different ways to look at things and hence compromise will never reach) have fun -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org on behalf of Aleksandar Milivojevic Sent: Wed 3/30/2005 10:59 PM To: CentOS mailing list Cc: Subject: Re: [Centos] Restart centos from Commandline Vaneet Sharma wrote: > Well, regarding creating multi billion dollar business, you dont have to know everything I was just trying to be a bit funny.

To create multi billion dollar business you need money. Because only money can create more money. Everyting else is small details that will be taken care of by people who will never profit from the business itself. Just look at Microsoft, at the beggining you had one guy who had more money than he could ever possibly need, and he become even richer because he was rich to begin with. On the other side you had bunch of developers whose wealth is constantly at about the same level (not that I feel sorry for them looking at the final product).

RE: DHCPd Config or HOW-TO on DNS + DHCP + SQUID +Firewall + Router
by Stanley Langa (ST) 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

I thought I'd share this with you guys:- Been working/testing on the DEV release of SME7a3 based on CenTOS (on VMWARE), see contribs.org. Pretty neat I must say, most daemons (DNS, DCHP, SMB-PDC, LDAP, IMAP, POP, Web Admin) are preconfigured. I've got phpGroupware, WebERP, KnowledgeTree + other running on the same box (VMWARE). I've always had a challenge with manually configuring listeners etc and this has saved me hours/days on the Development I'm working on.'

VERY Important: CESA naming conventions

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 (sorry about the cross post, this is vital information to get out) The following naming conventions have been established for posts to the CentOS-announce mailing list. The purpose is to ensure uniformity across products, architectures, releases etc. This will allow easier and simpler automated CESA (CentOS Errata and Security Advisory) processing by end users. === CentOS-announce Subject Construction Guidelines for Errata and Product Announcements ~ For Errata Postings (all one line) ~ Subject: [CentOS-announce] CESA-$NUMBER: $priority CentOS $release $arch $package - $brief_description ~ First Line of Message: CentOS Errata and Security Advisory $NUMBER ~ where: ~ $NUMBER: use $RH_NUMBER if the matter is a result ~ of a RH?A, if not, YYYY-MMDD-SEQ ~ where: ~ YYYY-MMDD -- is in UTC, ~ SEQ is an increasing 3 digit number starting ~ at 000 each day, for the time being SEQ ~ numbers will be stored on the master mirror ~ in /centos/centos-cesa.txt. Developers ~ posting errata with a $NUMBER that is ~ CentOS errata will need to check the file for ~ an existing number for a given problem or ~ create a new number and add it to the file. ~ $priority: follows RH levels ~ $release: one of 4, 3, or 2 ~ For Product Releases (all one line) ~ Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release Announcement: $name $version $arch Note: [CentOS-announce] is automatically added by mailman.

CentOS as an internet gateway
by ryanag＠zoominternet.net 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

I would add the below: -Recommend using CentOS 4.0 -Use squid rpm, no tar (this is for new users I'm guessing). -Recommend using etherape and iptraf (available as rpms) for a graphical overview of traffic. http://etherape.sourceforge.net/ -Recommend the use of chkrootkit, and TCP Wrappers (at the least put ALL: ALL EXCEPT PARANOID in /etc/hosts.allow) to protect servers. -Provide some information about how to protect the whole network from spyware with the /etc/hosts file (a nice side benefit from doing DNS proxy). http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm -A *huge* disclaimer on running squid on a machine with a public interface. -Consider using webmin to manage this outside a GUI. -fwlogwatch can parse log files nicely. http://fwlogwatch.inside- security.de/ Biggest issue I have with your setup: -I wouldn't use Guard Dog as the GUI setup - it is very nice, but inflexible and not really meant for what you are doing. Try kmyfirewall instead if you want a GUI for iptables. It offers near complete control of iptables functions. If you can get along with using webmin, try shorewall. *If* this is going to be in a bigger than SOHO (+ 30 PC) network, go with shorewall. Just my $.02, good luck with the site, it'll help a lot of people. :-) On Wednesday 30 March 2005 13:27, Seth Bardash wrote: > To the list: > > HOW-TO on DNS + DHCP + SQUID + Firewall + Router > > Since this seems to be a recurring topic: > > Thought you might be interested in a working set up of > DNS + DHCP + SQUID + Firewall + Router machine that took > quite an effort to get working but now runs flawlessly. > > Don't get discouraged.

Re: [Centos] Restart centos from Commandline

Every list goes through this sort of thrashing: 1. There are some users who are too self-important to remember back when they were once n00bs. From what I've heard, these are the bulk of users on the Debian lists <grin>. 2. There are others who can provide the simple answer AND a gentle reminder where the n00b might find the answer him/herself. What's the old saying: "You ctch more flies with honey than with vinegar." 3. Then there is the group (actually, subcategory of 1) who never has any time and can't be bothered to read anything other than super-intellectual stuff and who fills the replies with "your're wasting our time." The most successful lists have a lot of users in category 2. Enjoy, -- Collins When I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world....

I do not know if i am seeing things, but it seems there has been a lot of double posting lately. It seems it has been only a short while since it started. i thought it might only been some people, though i am seeing an increasing amounts of this lately. Is there something going on with the list or is it a snafu that i have noticed something. letting my big mouth run like always. ;-) Steven "On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said 'Requires Windows or better'.
