On a server running Debian Wheezy and Samba ver 3 with a tdb backend, how do I restrict a single user from changing the password? This account is one of 2 generic accounts, one for students and one for Teachers on Call (TOC). The users are created, but I'm not deploying the server yet. When looking through Google, I came across setting the maximum…
I run a number of virtual servers on my network and I want to be able to easily clone base installations of Ubuntu Server. I use the VBoxManage command to clone the actual hard disk and I then create a new profile for my VM and copy over the settings of the original VM.
However, when I boot into the cloned VM, there seems to be a network problem.…
We have a website and our deployment process goes somewhat like the following (with lots of irrelevant steps excluded)
echo "Remove previous, if it exists, we don't need that anymore"
rm -rf /home/[XXX]/php_code/previous
echo "Create the current dir if it doesn't exist (just in case this is the first deploy to this server)"
mkdir -p…
I'm looking to get a fault-tolerant USB flash drive, which saves data to multiple independent locations, whether using RAID or some other means to back up data. Has a product like this ever been created, or are my only options to hack something together?
(By the way: I'm aware that RAID doesn't prevent data corruption from software…
I've setup git-http-backend on my vps server (CentOS), under one of its users. The apache user owns the git project root directory - /home/theuser/git/, as below:
drwxrwxr-x 3 apache apache
The apache user also owns everything inside that directory. But I'm still getting the following error in git when trying to push:

I'm going to be rebuilding my server, and I want much faster access to my data. I've used RAID 1 and 0 in the past, and decided upon RAID 10 (dedicated RAID card). Then someone told me to use RAID 5+0, then someone else told me to use RAID 6+0.
Assuming the Hardware RAID Card supports each level, what is currently the FASTEST…
I have an FTP server that's on a low bandwidth connection. We want to set it up with a second IP address on a much higher bandwidth connection. I set up the second interface with a static IP address on the faster connection. This unfortunately does not work. I can verify that the second IP address works perfectly when I…
I have a laptop (HP Pavilion G6) that was running Ubuntu and for a while now (at least 6 months) has been having a problems randomly suspending whilst still in use with a full battery and still being charged.
Originally the problem was with Ubuntu so I first attempted to disable suspend using every way I could find…
I have downloaded an application written with the Quick Time library (for Windows 7).
The application does not need an installation: just unzip it in a directory and run the program.
It works, but I have a problem: the program allows the user to change a lot of values using its interface but does not have an option…
Whenever I select 'Control Panel' from my taskbar all it comes up with is an open window with nothing in it. I'm running Vista and have recently turned of UAC (if this makes a difference). Can anybody help me to change this?
We are currently using static LAN IP addresses for our internal non-public facing servers. We don't have DHCP configured. We're using Vyatta for our router and firewall. The firewall is configured to be zone based.
We want to setup IPA for centralized authentication (LDAP+Kerberos). IPA is requiring resolvable host…
I have added, via the registry, a right click menu option for all filetypes which is supposed to get the MD5 checksum for a file.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Checksum - Default: Get Checksum
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Checksum\command - Default: checksum.cmd "%1"
checksum.cmd simply clears the screen, calls…
I'm having a bit of trouble with a GIGABYTE GA-MA78G-DS3H (rev. 2.0) motherboard. Recently when trying to clean my AMD Phenom II X 4 CPU, I dropped it and broke some pins.
I have now brought a Athlon 64 X2 5400+. However, it does not seem to work.
To begin with, I cleared the CMOS via the jumper located…
A Windows 7 HP x64 computer is set to automatically log in (no password), but once it starts logging in, it starts to load the desktop after the welcome screen, but before icons or background images are loaded, it goes to the Welcome screen saying 'Logging Off'. I can log in with Safe Mode, and I ran a…
I understand that 2.4GHz Wi-Fi channels overlap, and that the only non-overlapping channels in the US are 1, 6, and 11. Generally, my signal strength on channels 1, 6, and 11 are much stronger than my neighbors' on the same channel. However, several of the channels may have 4 or 5 others on that same…
My goal is to be able to make a connection to one, and only one, website through a proxy. Everything else should be dropped.
I have been able to do this successfully without a proxy with this code:
./iptables -I INPUT 1 -i lo -j ACCEPT
./iptabels -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
./iptables -A…
I have a software RAID 5 partition on LVM in Ubuntu (desktop, actually, but I'm using it as a server). I have been rsyncing a ton of data to it, and the computer was hard freezing, as in I needed to press "Reset".
So I thought it was rsync. But I decided I'd try a dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/raid5…
I have a rather large source code repository on my machine; it is not indexed by Windows Search. I am trying to find some oddly-named generated files of the form .#name.extension.version where name and extension are normal names and extensions and version is a numeric value (e.g. something like…
OK here's the situation.
I have a computer A with complete admin access, and computer B (actually an account I login to) with very limited access. I am trying to make it so I can access a device on computer A (an external harddrive) on B.
If I had more access to B, I would just mount the…
