Creating .deb-Packages With Checkinstall
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: linux, debian, ubuntu • Comments: 2Creating .deb-Packages With Checkinstall Checkinstall is a nice tool to create simple .deb-packages that you can use in your local network (e.g. if you have to install the same piece of software on multiple computers running Debian). It lets you compile and install software from the sources like before, but with the difference that you end up with a simple Debian package which also means that you can easily uninstall the software you just compiled by running dpkg -r!

This article aims at identifying and explaining all security layers, highly important when choosing a certain mail server and consequently when configuring and using it.

Quota does not work under SuSE 8.2!
Author: till •
Tags: linux, ispconfig •
Comments: 0 On a standard SuSE 8.2 installation the quota module is not loaded into the kernel which is why quotaon -avug gives back an error. Load the quota module manually with insmod quota_v1 and insmod quota_v2 To have those modules loaded on every bootup of the system please insert modprobe quota_v1 and modprobe quota_v2 in /etc/init.d/boot.local.

Comments: 0 First, you have to enable quota on your system. Have a look at the quota section of the appropriate "Perfect Setup" tutorial for your distribution on HowtoForge. After you've enabled quota on your system: To set quotas for a user or group, use the setquota command (see man setquota for more information), e.g.: setquota -g $group $blocks $blocks 0 0 -a setquota -u $username $blocks $blocks 0 0 -a Replace $group, $username and $blocks. Note: $blocks is the quota size in MB * 1024! To deactivate quotas for a user or group, run these commands and set $blocks to 0.

Booting Debian from external firewire on Powerpc Mac
Author: boborosso • Tags: linux • Comments: 0Booting Linux from a mac with firewire requires either editing initrd of an initrd kernel or building a custom one without initrd and with scsi and firewire support compiled in. Not for newbies, unless you know already how to make your firewire drive work under Linux (even if you cannot make it boot).The new beta debian etch installer is able to recognize firewire drives, so I succesfully compiled a kernel and installed the bootloader, so that the installing process could complete. Tested with a maxtor one touch and a titanium powerbook v.2
