DenyHosts - http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ Also, when you set it
up, set it to download the lists from their website.  These lists are
IPs that other users have found scanning their network.

I find it funny how people love to complain because companies like
RedHat and SuSE/Novell have found a way to make a business out of a
free product.  There is nothing forcing you to use their distro.  And
if you do like their distro that much and don't want to pay, there are
free alternatives to the commercial products like CentOS, WBEL and
OpenSuSE.  Heck there are more free distro's than paid ones.  Or if
you are jealous of those companies making all the money off a free
product and are so inclined why don't you create your own commercial
Linux distro.  There is nothing that they are doing that violates the
GPL, if they did, I'm sure that they would have all kinds of legal
trouble.

Instead of complaining, people should be grateful for the hard work
that they do bringing features, fixes, drivers, which are released for
free, and by getting hardware vendors involved in bring linux
compatibility to their products.  I can still remember back in 1995
trying to get support from a hardware vendor who refused to provide
drivers for linux or even offer any assistance.

I've been using Evolution with our Exchange servers and instead of
using MAPI, I enabled Outlook OWA (http) and connect that way.  You
just point Evolution to the URL of your server, usually
http://servername/exchange

I know that everyone seems to think any mention of RH is cute and
funny, but it's just asking for a lawsuit.  Does anyone remember
LinuxWorld Expo in Boston a couple years ago when RH was releasing
RHEL4.  No?  I do, because that's when CentOS got a letter from RH
legal department asking to remove all references to their name and I
was the one sitting in the LinuxWorld booth trying to justify to
people that CentOS was a valid project and not just stealing someone
else's IP.  If CentOS wants to be taken seriously, especially by big
business, you don't do it by biting the hand that feeds you and
creating bad publicity.  Referring to RH without their permission is
just begging for RH to sue us.  Drop the RH jokes and push CentOS on
it's merit as a stable enterprise OS with a great community behind it.

Also without RH, CentOS wouldn't be.  They make it very easy to obtain
the sources in a manner that makes it easy to build CentOS by
releasing complete SRPMs.  There's nothing saying RH has to release
the code this way.  They could make it very difficult for groups like
CentOS, WhiteBox, and Scientific Linux. Be nice to RH and buy a
license here and there when it makes sense.  They have their place in
the food chain, as do we.

Just my $0.02

Learn Yum, it's your friend.  If you don't know how to use it just
type "yum" and it will give you a list of options.  See how I used
"yum groupinfo" on the "Web Server" group.  One of the default
packages is mod_ssl.

Group: Web Server
Description: These tools allow you to run a Web server on the system.
Mandatory Packages:
   httpd
Default Packages:
   tux
   mod_python
   mod_ssl
   distcache
   webalizer
   php-ldap
   squid

It's better to stick to the RPMs to make it easier to upgrade.  If you
want an easy way to install LAMP you can run 2 commands

yum -y groupinstall "Web Server"
yum -y install mysql-server php-mysql

This will get Apache, MySQL, and PHP all installed.

I've never tried this, but someone was telling me that it might be
possible to serve up ASP and ASP.net with Apache and mono.  I don't
know if this is true, but might be worth checking out.

You can also do it like this

/usr/bin/find /mnt/iog -type f -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +7 -print -exec
rm -f {} \;


If you want to log the results that were deleted try this

/usr/bin/find /mnt/iog -type f -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +7 -print -exec
rm -f {} \; >> mylog 2> /dev/null

just add 'time' before your command.  like this:

time sudo mt -f /dev/st0 erase

Yes, but you can also use it to analyzer squid logs.  So if you're
using Squid proxy, then you can charge on your internet usage.

Just this morning I've gotten 3 or 4 pieces of spam on the CentOS mailing list.
