Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Today I ran into an SELinux problem when installing icinga. I followed their documentation "Adjusting the SELinux settings". However my cgis still would not run. When I ran,
So recently in my home setup I installed a scheme for centralized logging. I use rsyslog or syslog on the client servers and syslog-ng on the central server. This is nothing new and has been done before.
rsyslog + syslog-ng = gold.
I have a script which parses the syslog-ng logs across all the servers, filters them, and then sends and email with a summary and unusual logs. Each time I got an email I would get, on average, ~200-500 log messages of SELinux errors and...
Installer uninstaller in a simple clickable (or at least it should be clickable) script. (You can try setting the file associations these to run scripts with kde-open, xdg-open, gnome-open, ... or try the shell-exec app at this blog.)
Fun. But is it practical? Maybe, and maybe not. It depends on if you already knew how risky handing control of parts of your system to strangers can be.
So I've started using the new Fedora 16 on my main media server (previously F14) and decided to try something new this time. I've always set SELinux to permissive which is a bad idea normally for anything public (which this server isn't but I still want it). Anyway I believe I was testing something before I left for the holidays and ran
Code:
setenforce 0
which disables SELinux. I guess at some point it turned back on somehow and I was locked out of ssh. I dug through my logs (/var/log/messages,...
Today I was having trouble getting a httpd ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse to work. As a background I'm working in RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.1. It took me a while to figure out what was wrong (longer than it should have) and as it turns out it worked after I disabled SELinux. So my configs were correct in /etc/httpd/conf.d/* and it passed all config tests. I'm sure you don't want to read a whole post of talking so I'll just get right into the grit of the commands. For the rest of the explanation...
