In these days I’m setting up a small network with about twenty computers. The users of this network used windows before (now they use linux mint) and they need to access samba ubuntu folders simply using their name (which is same as their login) and password (there’s no problem for them with typing access data). In that case I need the simplest way for them to access it. I was thinking of using links (I [...]

I’ve been developing some sites using Flask recently (running on debian within a virtualenv), and when I am testing I can run it on a port, let’s say post 5000. So I run the script like so: . env/bin/activate <- go into virtual environment python file.py <- run python script And I will be given this message: Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/ So this all works great and I can access my site on this port fine.

I have a directory of text files on IIS. I would like this directory to be hidden. I have set the web.config as follow: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″ ?> <configuration> <system.web> <authorization> <deny users=”*” /> <!– Denies all users –> </authorization> </system.web> </configuration> But I can still see a full directory listing of the files, as well as access the files over the web. What am i setting wrong? I have tried this too: <system.webServer> <security> [...]

I don’t have access to the vimrc (no write access that is) So far I have been using colorscheme desert to be able to read comments. But i’m getting tired of it any workaround or do I have to beg sysadmin to chmod it? Asked by Marin In order to make it permanent, you should add that to your ~/.vimrc file. That’s a personal vimrc, as opposed to the system wide one that you’re probably [...]

I am running CentOS in Virtualbox environment on my Win7 machine. I am able to connect there by SSH from host machine (win7), but Apache’s httpd is not answering. I can get response in CentOS by curl localhost, curl 172.27.59.38, but IP address doesn’t respond on host machine: C:\Users\username>telnet 172.27.59.38 80 Connecting To 172.27.59.38…Could not open connection to the host, on port 80: Connect failed Also nmap localhost doesn’t show that 80 port is open.

I’m working with a small business that uses an Access-based database for work order mgmt. The system has been around for years and they have 6-7 PCs using custom software from an ISV to access the database. The database is accessed over a mapped drive (Z:) connection. Several months ago they began getting this error intermittently: Data source name not found and no default driver specified This results in the ISV having to connect to [...]

Last week I provisioned a new Windows 2008 R2 box from my hosting company and copied my databases files to the file system. It became necessary to reimage the OS on the box so they left the database files on the local drive and reimaged the box. Now that the image is complete I’ve logged back into the box and tried to reattach the database files but I received an ‘Access Denied’ error. On 8 [...]

We are planning to implement 802.1X. What is not clear is whether a switch supporting 802.1X can successfully and correctly authenticate multiple devices connected to the same switch port (e.g. if we have a department using a hub with a bunch of computers to “share” the port)? If so, how does the protocol validate the source of packets? Or does implementing 802.1X will require us to purchase huge expensive 802.1X supporting switches, for one port [...]

I have a very specific need of allowing access to an unknown set of domains where they all have a common domain as referral. Put the other way around I have a website including items (js, images, css, etc) from an unknown set of domains which I need to allow access through to. I know referrals are set client side and can be edited. This is not a concern in this case as the users [...]

The scenario is this: I have a development machine I want (need) to have root access to Our admin setups the machines using his own credentials for the root user. The explanation being that if something goes wrong or he needs to change something he just have to remember one password He then proceeds to give each user access to “sudo” without questioning for the password Now I really dislike the fact that sudo wouldn’t [...]
