With this setup, you can give your users shell access without having to fear that they can see your whole system. Your users will be jailed in a specific directory which they will not be able to break out of. The users will also be able to use SFTP in their chroot jails. falko Sun, 09 Sep 2007 10:01:00 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/cloning-linux-systems-with-clonezilla-server-edition-clonezilla-se This tutorial shows how you can clone Linux systems with CloneZilla SE. This is useful for copying one Linux installation to multiple computers without losing much time, e.g. in a classroom, or also for creating an image-based backup of a system. I will install CloneZilla SE on a Debian Etch server in this tutorial. The systems that you want to clone can use whatever Linux distribution you prefer. falko Thu, 22 Jan 2009 12:40:43 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_ads_security_mode The intent of this article is to show you how to configure your Linux machine and Samba server to participate in a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain as a Member Server using Kerberos authentication. This involves using the security = ADS security mode in Samba. falko Wed, 27 Jun 2007 10:05:23 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/converting_outlook_pst_to_maildir One of the challenges you may face when converting an office from Microsoft Windows to Linux is that many people archive their emails in PST files. There are PST tools available, but most of them are commercial, since the PST file format is closed and protected by Microsoft. There are several non-commercial methods to achieve roughly the same goal, and in this tutorial we use IMAP (more specifically, courier-imap) to convert all our emails from PST to the Maildir format. The advantage of this approach is that you also lay the foundation for a new mail system, with all your old emails already imported the day you switch over. falko Fri, 15 Jun 2007 11:54:18 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/cpu_frequency_scaling_ubuntu So, you have an irritatingly loud CPU fan which is making you consider whether or not launching your laptop through the nearest window is a good idea. Well, before you do that, why not give CPU frequency scaling a go. falko Mon, 27 Aug 2007 11:58:59 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/create-and-restore-partition-images-with-partimage Backups are usually made in one of two ways - either file-based which means that single files are backed up, often via synchronization and on an external disk, or image-based which means that a whole partition is stuffed into an image file that can be restored on the partition, containing everything there was on it. This tutorial covers image-based backups using Partimage from a live desktop environment. falko Sun, 20 May 2012 09:23:25 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating_a_local_yum_repository_centos Sometimes it can be handy to set up your own repository to prevent from downloading the remote repository over and over again. This tutorial shows how to create a CentOS mirror for your local network. If you have to install multiple systems in your local network then all needed packages can be downloaded over the fast LAN connection, thus saving your internet bandwidth. falko Mon, 18 Jun 2007 09:24:03 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/ftp-backups-with-duplicity-ftplicity-debian-etch When you rent a dedicated server nowadays, almost all providers give you FTP backup space for your server on one of the provider's backup systems. This tutorial shows how you can use duplicity and ftplicity to create encrypted (so that nobody with access to the backup server can read sensitive data in your backups) backups on the provider's remote backup server over FTP. ftplicity is a duplicity wrapper script (provided by the German computer magazine c't) that allows us to use duplicity without interaction (i.e., you do not have to type in any passwords). falko Tue, 18 Dec 2007 12:49:53 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-snapshot-backups-with-backerupper-ubuntu7.10 BackerUpper is a tool similar to Apple's TimeMachine. It is intended to create snapshot-backups of selected directories or even your full hard drive. From the BackerUpper project page: "Backerupper is a simple program for backing up selected directories over a local network. Its main intended purpose is backing up a user's personal data." This article shows how to install and use BackerUpper on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). falko Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:14:03 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-virtual-redhat-centos-scientific-linux-fedora-appliances-for-kvm-with-boxgrinder-fedora-17 BoxGrinder is a tool that allows you to build virtual machines (with RedHat, CentOS, Scientific Linux or Fedora as the OS) for multiple virtualization techniques. Currently it supports KVM, VMware, Amazon EC2, VirtualBox, and VirtualPC. This tutorial shows how to use BoxGrinder to create a CentOS 6 KVM guest on Fedora 17 and also how to deploy it to a remote KVM host. falko Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:00:12 GMT
