Help On Rndc. Want To Control Remote Bind Server, But Cant....

I am facing problem in enabling the DNS Log making in named.conf file.

My DNS Server works fine. Only it cannot make the log.
when I will run this command:
#dig -x 10.40.124.2
the result comes fine but the log is not make in /var/log/queries.log file.
The named is running without chroot enviroment.
Please help me in solving this.

I havent found out any straight-to-the-point answear yet on the net about how often a root dns server is queried hence i thought i should ask here.

When i use "dig +trace" i notice that my queries allways start from the root "." servers. However, is this also happening with, lets say, a recursive (resolver) dns server?

For example, lets assume that i use at home google's dns servers (8.8.8.8). Is google dns server will indeed first head to the root "." dns server when i query for example.net?

Thanks

Hi!

Here is mine configuration and I want make it show unicode(russian) in console, it works perfect in X11 but not when I logging into tty.

vconsole.conf
Code:

LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"
KEYMAP="sv-latin1"
FONT_UNIMAP="lat1"
FONT_MAP="ISO8859-1"
CONSOLEFONT="ruscii_8x8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Stockholm"
USECOLOR="yes"

Hi all,

I am trying to write a script that syncs files from source to destination. I have one centralized server that can ssh to any servers without pw. Now when I run the script, it can ssh to source server perfectly fine, but you need to enter password for destination server. Was wondering how I can clean this up before I start using case statements

Below is a sample I wrote

#!/bin/bash

#This scripts syncs shit

echo "Type in ID: "
read ID

echo "Type in Server : " #source server
read S

echo "Type in Destination Server: "
read DS

if [ $S == 9 ]; then
ssh -t "root@"$S"webserver1" "rsync -av /home/rlui/"$ID "root@"$DS"webserver2:/home/rlui/";
ssh -t "root@"$S"webserver1" "rsync -av /home/rlui/tmp/"$ID "root@sl"$DS"webserver2:/home/rlui/tmp/"
exit 1

where S and DS are cluster numbers

I apologize in advance if I am not clear on anything

What I did in windows was create images of my drive and restore them.

in linux I am running

Code:

rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/home/*","/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* /path/to/backup/folder

and this creates a folder for me with all my files, and apparently saves meta data like permissions and paths...

Since I'm using arch and things break sometimes,I'm booted into a CLI with errors and cannot figure my way out since I'm a noob... would I be able to just delete my entire root and replace it with the rsync backup without a problem?

Hello, I have an embedded linux device. I can connect to the device and I can upload or download files. No problem with this. But, at first connection, I want to connect to "/" directory instead of "/root". In the device file system, there are files ssh_config and sshd_config under /etc/ssh directory. I think I have to do something with these files but I don't know what.

I don't exactly know what mean "/root" and "/" directories. I think that the real root directory is "/" directory which is empty but when I connect with filezilla, the "/root" directory is the default so I had to go back to / directory everytime.

Hi Guys,
i have this Code:

uid=0(root) gid=0(root)

i would like to have the word "root" only from the first field, and later from the second field

i use the command
Code:

[root@v1-6 ~]# cat test-uid |cut -d"(" -f1
brms2
uid=0

[root@v1-6 ~]# cat test-uid |cut -d")" -f1
brms2
uid=0(root

it cut the word after the -d, how can i make it to cut the word BEFORE the -d

expected should be:
cut -d"(" -f1
root)

then i can proceed to eliminate the ) later on.
hope this is not confusing you guys

Thanks,

Hello, I have an expect script where I ssh to a remote host to determine the network configuration and get from the user the network interface card that should be used. From their response, I determine the subnet mask and save the information to a text file that is later transmitted back to my local host. This is all so that I can set up virtual IP aliasing and verify that the physical IP address of the local and remote host are on the same subnet prior to continuing with the setup. I am running the script on Linux, with expect version 5.45.

The code itelf works just fine, but I'm having some issues with how it displays on the screen. As you'll see below in the example, the default system prompt displays, as does the user input command that I'm sending to the shell from the expect script.

Is there a regular expression or something that I can write to prevent the prompt and command that I'm sending from printing to the screen? I know that it should be suppressed if I have an expect command following the Code:

send -s "\nread n_card?'Enter the network interface card number for this server (i.e. eth0):   '\r

command, but everything I have tried for strings and regular expressions to expect causes the netstat -rn output to not show up all of a sudden. I'm new to expect, so I'm not really sure why this is happening.

I would really appreciate any help/suggestions. Thanks for your time!

Part of the Script Code:
Code:

expect {
   -re $prompt {   ;# Send individual commands and get user input
        set timeout -1
        
        # Get partner hostname and put in vipsetup.txt file
        send -s "hostname > vipsetup.txt\r"  
        expect -re $prompt
        
        # Display the network routing info for the user and prompt for 
        # network interface card number
        send -s "print \"The network routing table for the $ptner server is displayed below:\n\" ; netstat -rn \r"
        
        expect -re "\r(.*):\r"
        send -s "\nread n_card?'Enter the network interface card number for this server (i.e. eth0):   '\r"
        interact "\r" return    ;# Wait for user input from read command
        send -- "\r"
        send -s "echo \$n_card >> vipsetup.txt\r"  
        
        # Obtain subnet mask information for partner based on network 
        # interface card number being used
        send -s "msk=\$(cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-\$n_card | grep NETMASK)\r"
        send -s "msk=\$(echo \${msk#NETMASK=})\r"
        send -s "echo \$msk >> vipsetup.txt\r"
    }
    timeout {
        send_user "Connection to host $hostip timed out."
        exit 6 
    }
    eof {
        send_user "Connection to host $hostip failed."
        exit
    }
}

Script Output:
Code:

The network routing table for the PRIMARY server is displayed below:
 
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface

I'm trying to send all root's mails to an external e-mailaddress, but for some reason I can't get it to work.

I've edited /etc/aliases with the following rule:

root: <myexternal@email.address>

and run newaliasses after, which would run without any errors.

I can run: echo "Testing" | mail -s "Server Testing" <myexternal@email.address>
just fine without any issue and it's being delivered correctly to my external address.

But when I run: echo "Testing" | mail -s "Server Testing" root

I (first) get a "Deferred: 451 Temporary local problem - please try again later" error and when I then run: "Sendmail -OTimeout.hoststatus=0m -q -v" to flush the mailqueue it says everything is ok, but I then get a message saying I have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root and I don't get the mail on my external e-mailaddress.

I have no clue where to look next, hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.

Just for completeness: I use mageia release 4 (x86_x64).

Hi,
I just upgraded my server from Debian 7 to Debian 8. Everything seemed to go fine. However, Apache doesn't seem to be able to see the web files. If I go to my server's IP, I get an empty directory listing, as if the document root was pointed to an empty directory. However, my apache.conf points to /var/www, and there are indeed files the
Code:

root@maples-server:~# ls -la /var/www/

Here's my apache.conf (with the comments stripped; there were no "end of line" comments):

	# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
	# alert, emerg.
	LogLevel warn

	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Additionally, the connections are no longer showing up in /var/log/apache2/access.log. The last access time in that file is from before the update. I don't know enough about systemd to know if it is responsible for redirecting the logs to somewhere else...

At this point, I have no idea why it's not working. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

EDIT: After looking around some more, it seems that the output of "apachectl -S" is helpful. So here it is:
Code:

root@maples-server:~# apachectl -S
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

Group: name="www-data" id=33

It appears that it's looking in a subdirectory html, which was not the case previously (before the upgrade). I've currently got a (ugly but useable) work-around using a symlink:
Code:

root@maples-server:~# cd /var/www/
root@maples-server:/var/www# rm -r html/
root@maples-server:/var/www# ln -s /var/www/
root@maples-server:/var/www# mv www html
root@maples-server:/var/www# ls -l html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 28 22:36 html -> /var/www/

While this does work, I'd like to find the proper way of doing it. Any ideas?
