This involves using the security = ADS security mode in Samba. falko Wed, 27 Jun 2007 10:05:23 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/configuring-your-lemp-system-linux-nginx-mysql-php-fpm-for-maximum-performance If you are using nginx as your webserver, you are looking for a performance boost and better speed. nginx is fast by default, but you can optimize its performance and the performance of all parts (like PHP and MySQL) that work together with nginx. Here is a small, incomprehensive list of tips and tricks to configure your LEMP system (Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP-FPM) for maximum performance. These tricks work for me, but your mileage may vary. Do not implement them all at once, but one by one and check what effect the modification has on your system's performance. falko Sun, 23 Sep 2012 09:25:26 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/dns_cache_with_djbdns Building a local DNS cache will speed up your internet connection since the time for the translation job (converting domain names into IP addresses) will become negligible with the assumption that the DNS cache gets the information from the parent DNS. falko Mon, 07 May 2007 09:12:19 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-a-fully-encrypted-para-virtualized-xen-guest-system-using-debian-lenny This document explains how to set up a fully encrypted para-virtualized XEN instance. In this howto, the host system is running Debian Etch, while the guest system to be installed will be using Debian Lenny. If you are concerned about your privacy, you might want to consider using hard disk encryption to protect your valuable private data from spying eyes. Usually, the easiest way would be to use your distribution's installer to set up a fully encrypted system; I think most recent Linux distributions support this. However, when you are using XEN to provide virtualization, there are situations where you might not want to encrypt your whole computer with all guest instances, but instead only encrypt one OS instance. This howto will deal with exactly this situ falko Sun, 03 May 2009 10:41:05 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/creating-advanced-mysql-based-vhosts-on-lighttpd-debian-etch This guide explains how you can create advanced virtual hosts on a lighttpd web server on Debian Etch that are stored in a MySQL database. The method described here does not use the lighttpd mod_mysql_vhost module, and unlike mod_mysql_vhost (which allows you to store only the hostname and document root of a vhost in a database), this method allows to store individual configuration directives for each vhost in the MySQL database. falko Tue, 19 Aug 2008 10:50:14 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-advanced-mysql-based-virtual-hosts-on-lighttpd-ubuntu-12.04 This guide explains how you can create advanced virtual hosts on a lighttpd web server on Ubuntu 12.04 that are stored in a MySQL database. The method described here does not use the lighttpd mod_mysql_vhost module, and unlike mod_mysql_vhost (which allows you to store only the hostname and document root of a vhost in a database), this method allows to store individual configuration directives for each vhost in the MySQL database. falko Sun, 09 Sep 2012 08:47:30 GMT
