Disabling users after a period of time
Hello, Fedudes! So this is the situation: I have a server called "El Servidor de la Comunidad" or "The Community Server". This servers provides old fashioned hosting to GNU & Linux and Fedora enthusiasts. Everybody has a shell and their websites are all in /srv/www; owned by them and their group; allowing the world to enter. Basically, everything has 2771 from /srv/www and up; until it reaches the actual document root; where people have what they please. So, since we're not an ISP; just a bunch o' loosers, we do not have an idea of when a user needs to renew the yearly subscription, which is $100. Anyway, I thought of using usermod -e; which is the expire flag. But this will not disable their websites along with the user, since the files are out of their home dir; which we will never support. So, I need good ideas on how to make their websites go away with a "this guy doesn't pay... " message. This is to avoid the possibility of somebody not paying for the service; which covers the bills for the server. So, if anybody has a great idea, this is the time to spit it out. Thanks guys; in advance. p.s. Please, do not pollute this email with rants about how 2771 doesn't provide actual security or why should we put stuff at /home; which we will not do. Focus on clean, simple, ingenious solutions, if you may. -- Renich Bon Ciric signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

CFT: A Puppet module generator
Ok, I need some help, from the #Fedora or #Redhat Communities. There is a really neat project called cft: http://cft.et.redhat.com/ The maintainer said he hasn't had time to develop it further. So, we need some ruby wiz to take over and adopt the project. So, +David Lutterkort told me he would be happy if somebody could help out with it. So, do you like #Ruby and you're willing to take on a #FOSS project? Here's your chance. One way to help is to move this message around so, please, re-share, re-send or re-whateveryouneedtodo so the message is delivered. I am willing to maintain/co-maintain the package(s) on the Fedora repos. So, anyone? Thanks! -- It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle. Love isn't asked for; it's just given.

It would be nice if you could use text and not html for your messages.

So, the reverse zone, in this case, doesn't include the bind servers located outside 10.x.x.x. For example, you have 2 bind servers: 177.x.x.x 75.x.x.x And, maybe, some web servers around the world: 147.x.x.x 95.x.x.x How can You add them to that reverse zone?
