I'm the Cloud Architect for Fedora. I work for Red Hat, but my posts here are all my own.
Previously, I was a sysadmin in the Academic Computing group at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and before that, I made Boston University Linux.

Linux: hosts.allow, hosts.deny - how do I allow all except hosts mentioned in hosts.deny I think this is the best approach. Put ALL:ALL in hosts.deny, and make exceptions in hosts.allow. In this case (allow most everything), that means starting with a really large exception -- but that's okay. |

Changing memory allocation policy on Linux Unless you're on Red Hat / Fedora, in which case that won't work. You didn't specify. :) (In fact, on those distributions, the numactl utility, with its man pages, are in the Base group and so installed by default on every system.) |

Internet not working after upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 Note that 141.1.1.1 is a public DNS server run by Cable & Wireless Worldwide. I like to use Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) because (somewhat surprisingly given Google's general data-collection habits), they have a good privacy policy (code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/intro.html). I'm not sure what C&W's privacy policy is for their name server for non-customers. |

Compile/Configure Options of a Yum Package (RPM) Whoops -- you're right. From the changelog, that added in 9.6.0a1, and RHEL/CentOS 5 have version 9.3.x. I'll edit my answer. Yet another reason for RHEL 6. :) |

Adding PNG & JPG support to ImageMagick in PHP on CentOS Prix: that's an incomplete statement. It's not that using yum is doing it wrong, which this seems to imply. It's true in some cases, functionality is provided by a sub-package not pulled in by dependencies by default, or that for stability or legal reasons the package wasn't build with all features. But none of those things apply to ImageMagick's PNG and JPG support in CentOS. |

Can not login into server due to NFS mount failed Additionally, if it's possible, you can use autofs to mount the filesystem rather than hard-coding it into fstab. This way, the filesystem comes online when it's needed, not necessarily when the system is trying to boot. (And if it's not available right way, it'll come up when it is.) |
