I have CentOS machine and each time I've noticed that the server loses correct time after a while. It is usually behind by several minutes after time passes from having manually set the correct time. Is there a mechanism whereby I can update the server with the time from a specific time server?
I'm starting a very little hosting company for a few friends and little clients, nothing big.
I want to give my "clients" the right to manage their files on the server. I hate FTP as it is not secure and it's in my opinion obsolete.
So I'd like to allow my users to connect through SFTP but not allow them to connect through SSH. (I know, I know, SFTP is using SSH). But I was just wondering, is it possible?
So I wouldn't have to install a FTP service on the server and everything would be awesome!
I'm trying to create an ssh key for another user. I'm logged in as root. Can I just edit the files generated by ssh-keygen and change root to the user I want?
I've found numerous installation instructions for Node.js but they all seem so complicated -- I'm not a super sys admin but I can get around. I have yum on the system, but I didn't find any node.js packages, and I'm not sure how to compile code on the server or where to put it.
When do entries in cron.daily (and .weekly and .hourly) run, and is it configurable?
I haven't found a definitive answer to this, and am hoping there is one.
I'm running RHEL5 and CentOS 4, but for other distros/platforms would be great, too.
