It will look at the client IP and check it in one or several DNSBL servers and return a 403 Forbidden page to the client. This guide shows how to install and use it with Apache 2 on a Debian Etch server. falko Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:16:48 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-build-a-standalone-file-server-with-nexenta-3.0-beta2 Nexenta is a project developing a debian user-land for the OpenSolaris kernel. This provides all of the advantages of apt as a package respoitory (based on the Ubuntu LTS apt repository, currently using 8.04) as well as the advantages of the ZFS filesystem. In the resulting setup every user can have his/her own home directory accessible via the SMB protocol or NFS with read-/write access. falko Thu, 06 May 2010 11:41:59 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian_etch Each distribution has some specific tools to build a custom kernel from the sources. This article is about compiling a kernel on a Debian Etch system. It describes how to build a custom kernel using the latest unmodified kernel sources from www.kernel.org (vanilla kernel) so that you are independent from the kernels supplied by your distribution. It also shows how to patch the kernel sources if you need features that are not in there. falko Thu, 14 Jun 2007 12:19:51 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/compile_rtorrent_from_svn_ubuntu Torrent is a great way to transfer large files very quickly. However most torrent clients are gui based and have quite some impact on system resources (e.g. Azureus). rTorrent is a lightweight client running from the terminal. Being able to run it in a screen session (also upon boot) makes it ideal to also control it from a remote location. falko Wed, 19 Sep 2007 08:34:34 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/configure-remote-access-to-your-ubuntu-desktop This guide explains how you can enable a remote desktop on an Ubuntu desktop so that you can access and control it remotely. This makes sense for example if you have customers that are not very tech-savvy. If they have a problem, you can log in to their desktops without the need to drive to their location. I will also show how to access the remote Ubuntu desktop from a Windows XP client and an Ubuntu client. falko Thu, 14 Feb 2008 13:13:00 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/sane_xsane_scanner This article shows how you can make your scanner (SCSI or USB) work with SANE/XSANE from a normal user account without getting permission errors. falko Sat, 07 Apr 2007 01:33:41 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-convert-an-ext3-ext4-root-file-system-to-btrfs-on-ubuntu-12.10 ext3 and ext4 file systems can be converted to btrfs. For non-root file systems, this can be done online (i.e., without reboot), while for root file systems we need to boot into some kind of rescue system or Live CD. This guide explains how to convert an ext3 or ext4 root file system into btrfs on Ubuntu 12.10 and how to roll back to ext3/ext4 again if desired. falko Tue, 27 Nov 2012 09:53:50 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/convert_songs_to_mp3_ogg_with_k3b This guide describes how you can use the CD/DVD burning application K3b to convert songs from an audio CD into MP3 or Ogg files that you can use on your MP3 player, for example (if you choose the Ogg format, your MP3 player must support it). falko Thu, 09 Aug 2007 10:17:59 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-create-a-debian-wheezy-testing-openvz-template This tutorial explains how to create an OpenVZ template for Debian Wheezy (Debian Testing) that you can use to create virtual Debian Wheezy machines under OpenVZ. I searched for a Debian Wheezy OpenVZ template, but couldn't find one, that's why I decided to create it myself. This guide can also be used for creating Debian Lenny templates and templates for recent Ubuntu versions. falko Thu, 15 Sep 2011 08:33:33 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-enable-adobes-flash-player-in-google-chrome-ubuntu-9.04 This tutorial explains how you can install the Google Chrome browser on Ubuntu 9.04 and how to enable the Adobe Flash plugin in it. Please note that Google Chrome for Ubuntu is still in alpha state and should not be used on production systems. falko Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:59:23 GMT
