What is the easiest way to setup max login attempts in a LAMP environment (sshd installed via yum)? Is there a package or simple firewall rule?
I need to setup a company dropbox-like service. We can't use dropbox because we need to share large files (10+gb) which causes a few problems...
1) Bandwidth costs would skyrock
2) Performance would suck, compared to running it internally
3) Each user would need a premium DP account
4) Rather run service interally
What are some popular dropbox-like / collaborative file-sharing software?
How do I set all docroots to FollowSymLinks? I have a bunch of virtual host entries and don't want to modify each one.
Edit: I added 'Options +FollowSymLinks' in .htaccess and httpd.conf but I still receive 403 (Forbidden) errors :(. I even tried following SymLinks on twitter, but that didn't work either. http://twitter.com/SymLinks
It seems that Cron doesn't support a seconds interval. What is the easiest way to run a cli script (php) every 15 seconds? Is there a cron tool that works specifically with seconds (then I could use Cron to call it every minute)?
I'm looking for a good, free, visual traceroute utility. Anyone know of any?
I currently have a QNAP NAS with a raid 5 config (~600gb storage) but don't have a reliable backup solution. I've heard great things about tape backup systems (reliability, durability, etc..).
How can I go about setting up a tape backup system? The tape drives seem very expensive (1k+ for a decent one, more than the price of my NAS). What are the important specs to compare and features to take into consideration?
Edit: Does anyone have links to some good resources? There is a ton of articles, guides, and sites on this subject, not sure where to start.
What is the purpose of blocking/dropping inbound ICMP traffic on a public web server? Is it common for it be blocked?
I had to test if a server was accessible from various locations (tested on various servers located in different states/countries). I'd rely on ping as a quick & reliable method of determining if a server was online/network-accessible. After not receiving a response on a couple boxes, I tried using lynx to load the site, and it worked.
