Install and Configure Auth Shadow on Debian/Ubuntu
Author: Thanatos • Tags: apache, debian, linux, security, ubuntu • Comments: 3Install and Configure Auth Shadow on Debian/Ubuntu Auth Shadow or mod-auth-shadow is a module for apache (and apache2, sort of) that enables authentication against /etc/shadow. The benefits being that any system user with a password can be authenticated for web_dav, subversion or simply an https server. The only other way to do this is with PAM. That method is dangerous because the apache user (www-data in my case) must be able to read /etc/shadow. Obviously, not a good idea. Auth Shadow accomplishes this safely by using a intermediate program called validate. This works because validate can be owned by root but executable by everyone. In the event that your server is compromised through apache, your password file will not be readable.

Author: Falko Timme • Tags: desktop, ubuntu • Comments: 0Installing Popular Applications On Your Ubuntu Desktop With Automatix2 Although Ubuntu comes with lots of applications that can be installed on your desktop, there are still some applications that are available only from third-party repositories.

It comes with a graphical interface so that you can run it from your desktop, and this tutorial describes how you do it.

Comments: 15 Setting Up A PXE Install Server For Multiple Linux Distributions With Ubuntu Edgy Eft This tutorial shows how to set up a PXE (short for preboot execution environment) install server with Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft). A PXE install server allows your client computers to boot and install a Linux distribution over the network, without the need of burning Linux iso images onto a CD/DVD, boot floppy images, etc. This is handy if your client computers don't have CD or floppy drives, or if you want to set up multiple computers at the same time (e.g. in a large enterprise), or simply because you want to save the money for the CDs/DVDs. In this article I show how to configure a PXE server that allows you to boot multiple distributions: Ubuntu Edgy/Dapper, Debian Etch/Sarge, Fedora Core 6, CentOS 4.4, OpenSuSE 10.2, and Mandriva 2007.
