WiKID + OpenLDAP + Freeradius Howto
Author: nowen • Tags: centos, security • Comments: 0WiKID + OpenLDAP + Freeradius Howto I installed Openldap and freeradius on one (virtual) server and WiKID on another. We believe that this separation of duties is good security policy. In a way it also makes the setup easier because both WiKID and Freeradius listen on port 1812 of the localhost. Both servers are running Centos5.

Comments: 1 Virtualization With KVM On An OpenSUSE 11.3 Server This guide explains how you can install and use KVM for creating and running virtual machines on an OpenSUSE 11.3 server. I will show how to create image-based virtual machines and also virtual machines that use a logical volume (LVM). KVM is short for Kernel-based Virtual Machine and makes use of hardware virtualization, i.e., you need a CPU that supports hardware virtualization, e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V.

Reading Files From The Linux Kernel Space (Module/Driver) (Fedora 14)
Author: Pavel Abrosimov •

Comments: 8 Reading Files From The Linux Kernel Space (Module/Driver) (Fedora 14) It seems like operations that communicate with userspace are really discouraged. And I am not arguing with that. Although it doesn't mean that they cannot be accomplished. A driver loads configuration that could be stored only on HDD. When MS Windows XP boots up it remembers that I have turned Bluetooth off so it is not powered on, unlike even the latest Linux (Fedora 14 at the moment of writing) – such functionality in many drivers was not implemented. When developer uses procfs or character devices there should be another software or script in boot sequence that is actually sending information from a file to particular device. After some time looking over the internet I have managed to write such module that reads a file.

Comments: 19 VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 4.0 On A Headless Ubuntu 10.10 Server This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with VirtualBox 4.0 on a headless Ubuntu 10.10 server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

Supported firewalls include Linux iptables, BSD pf, Cisco ASA/PIX, Cisco router access lists and many more. In this tutorial we are going to cover how to use Firewall Builder to configure a NAT rule that translates both the source and destination IP addresses of the original packet. This type of NAT configuration can be useful in a variety of network configurations.

How To Install VMware Server 2 On A Fedora 14 Desktop (Kernel 2.6.35)

Comments: 13 How To Install VMware Server 2 On A Fedora 14 Desktop (Kernel 2.6.35) This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server 2 on a Fedora 14 desktop system (with kernel 2.6.35). With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free).
