Build A HylaFax Server With AvantFax Frontend Using Debian Etch
Posted by suvi under Debian
Install Debian. I used the basic barebones install option. I did
some things that were done because of preference, and not necessary. I
have marked them approriately. I encourage contributions from anyone
who would like to add or correct something in this HowTo to contact me
so I can fix it. I have installed this setup twice following these
instructions and used Avantfax 2.3.0. Thanks to all the resources who
helped me figure this out. Especially Razametal, who submitted a
fantastic Spanish language walkthrough on ecualug.org.

Installing MyDNS And The MyDNSConfig Control Panel On CentOS 5.1
Posted by suvi under CentOS, Networking
In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure MyDNS
and MyDNSConfig on CentOS 5.1. MyDNS is a DNS server that uses a MySQL
database as backend instead of configuration files like, for example,
Bind or djbdns. The advantage is that MyDNS simply reads the records
from the database, and it does not have to be restarted/reloaded when
DNS records change or zones are created/edited/deleted. A secondary
nameserver can be easily set up by installing a second instance of

When you rent a dedicated server nowadays, almost all providers give
you FTP backup space for your server on one of the provider’s backup
systems. This tutorial shows how you can use duplicity and ftplicity
to create encrypted (so that nobody with access to the backup server
can read sensitive data in your backups) backups on the provider’s
remote backup server over FTP. ftplicity is a duplicity wrapper script

How To Make Your Xen-PAE Kernel Work With More Than 4GB RAM (Debian Etch With GRUB)
Posted by suvi under Debian, Virtualization
If you have a server with more than 4GB RAM and want to install a 32bit Debian Etch on it (following this tutorial: Debian Etch And Xen From The Debian Repository),
you’d expect the Xen-PAE kernel to see all your RAM because the Xen-PAE
kernel supports up to 64GB RAM. In fact, it recognizes only about 3.3GB
RAM due to a bug in the GRUB bootloader. This article explains how you
can fix GRUB so that all your RAM gets recognized.

FTP is a very insecure protocol because all passwords and all data
are transferred in clear text. By using TLS, the whole communication
can be encrypted, thus making FTP much more secure. This article

HowTo: Install And Configure FWKNOP (Using EnGarde Linux)
Posted by suvi under Security
Secret knocks have been used for purposes as simple and childish as
identifying friend or foe during a schoolyard fort war. Fraternities
teach these knocks as a rite of passage into their society, and in our
security world we can implement this layer of security to lock down an
SSH server. The FireWall KNock Operator (fwknop) is an excellent port knocking
implementation that combines encrypted port knocking with passive OS
finger-printing. This makes it possible to define specifically which
