[CentOS] Groups

2011-01-30 Thread Jason S-M
Hi All,

On one of my servers I have a personal account and root. I disable root for ssh 
logins and run ssh on an alternative port. When 'scp'ing files I usually scp 
them up, then ssh in 'su' root and move them to /var/www/html.

I can sftp I realize, but what group can I add my personal account to, but not 
root, so I can sftp in and put the files in /var/www/html?

Secondarily /var/www/html/ is owned by root:root, can I change this 
to something else so my sftp'ing is easier? apache:apache as owner?

I don't follow why what I want to do optimizing http connections would be 
related to your chkconfig statement above. Apache already starts on system 
bootup.

[CentOS] /etc/rc.conf on CentOS 5.5?

2011-01-19 Thread Jason S-M
Hi All

I am investigating an Apache change I was told about that involved adding 
apache22_http_accept_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf, but I don't think this 
exists on CentOS 5.

Can anyone help me decide where to make this change?

[CentOS] Network bandwidth tools.

2011-01-15 Thread Jason S-M
Hi All,

I am wondering what tools are available in CentOS 5.5 that would allow me to 
measure incoming and outgoing network speeds? My new website seems to be 
getting a lot more traffic that I had anticipated off the bat and I would like 
to measure resource usage to ensure it is keeping up.

I know that top only measures CPU

Best,

/etc/smartd.conf is where this is specified.

[CentOS] When are Logwatch errors really errors

2011-01-07 Thread Jason S-M
Hi All,

I don't know enough about when errors are *really* errors. So I google a lot to 
read and learn.

I have a few things in my Logwatch that I want to make sure I understand

1. smartd
**Unmatched Entries**
Problem creating device name scan list 
Device /dev/sda: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer. 
Device /dev/sdb: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer. 
Device: /dev/sdc, NO MEDIUM present; skip device 
Device: /dev/sdd, NO MEDIUM present; skip device 
Device: /dev/sde, NO MEDIUM present; skip device 
Device: /dev/sdf, NO MEDIUM present; skip device 

I googled and since I know the devices I have I can comment out
#DEVICESCAN -H -m root

and replace with:

/dev/sda -a -d sat -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
/dev/sdb -a -d sat -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

2. kernel

WARNING:  Kernel Errors Present
   amd64_edac: probe of :00:18.2 failed with error -22 ...:  1 Time(s)

I googled this and I only had 5 hits that I could not make sense of. Can anyone 
shed some light?

3. automount
**Unmatched Entries**
lookup_read_master: lookup(nisplus): couldn't locate nis+ table auto.master: 1 
Time(s)

I googled and this seems to be a RHEL bug?

Can anyone confirm and explain?
