For those who need a solid example or just want a little advice--no heckling involved--here's another how-to to get you going. We've helped you set up your home web server, so now let's get DNS working so you can have your very own domain. by Shannon Hughes Domain Name System The Domain Name System (DNS) is the crucial glue that keeps computer networks in harmony by converting human-friendly hostnames to the numerical IP addresses computers require to communicate with each other.

DNS is one of the largest and most important distributed databases the world depends on by serving billions of DNS requests daily for public IP addresses. Most public DNS servers today are run by larger ISPs and commercial companies but private DNS servers can also be useful for private home networks. Why set up a private DNS server?

Dev/hello_world: A Simple Introduction to Device Drivers under L. By Valerie Henson 07/05/2007 Since the misty days of yore, the first step in learning a new programming language has been writing a program that prints "Hello, world!

" (See the Hello World Collection for a list of more than 300 "Hello, world! " examples.) In this article, we will use the same approach to learn how to write simple Linux kernel modules and device drivers. We will learn how to print "Hello, world! " from a kernel module three different ways: printk(), a /proc file, and a device in /dev. Preparation: Installing Kernel Module Compilation Requirements For the purposes of this article, a kernel module is a piece of kernel code that can be dynamically loaded and unloaded from the running kernel.

A note on kernel source location, permissions, and privileges: the kernel source customarily used to be located in /usr/src/linux and owned by root. Preparation for Compiling Kernel Modules Under Debian $ sudo apt-get install module-assistant That's it; you can now compile kernel modules.

A month ago I wrote a review on Ubuntu's 7.04 version and in it I promised a second look once the final version was to released. Feisty Fawn was released last week and as it seems so far, it is one of the most (if not the most) successful Linux distro release ever. This means that we can't help it but compare it with XP and Mac OS X, after having tested it in 3 laptops and 2 desktops in my lab. In this article I won't go on and on about how Ubuntu gets installed or how well it performs, as things haven't fundamentally changed since my previous review. But I will expand in the afterglow of the release and the good and bad that came out of it. First and foremost, this release feels like a cornerstone in the Linux battle for desktop market share.

This release brought new focus to non-free drivers/codecs by making it easier to install them. There is consistency in Ubuntu, and there is a feeling of well-thoughtness around every element. Of course, things can always be better. Understanding your<br/> (Red Hat Enterp. A Unix daemon is a program that runs in the “background,” enabling you to do other work in the “foreground,” and is independent of control from a terminal. Daemons can either be started by a process, such as a system startup script, where there is no controlling terminal, or by a user at a terminal without “tying up” that terminal as the daemon runs. But which daemons can you safely play with? Which should you leave running? An introduction to daemons The real-world (i.e., non-computer) definition of “daemon” is either a spirit (an evil one) or an inner or private voice. An introduction to services The daemons referenced in /etc/init.d are configured to be run as Linux services.

/sbin/service httpd Usage: httpd {start|stop|restart|condrestart|reload|status|fullstatus|graceful|help|configtest} You can view the current state of all services with this option to the service utility: /sbin/chkconfig --list syslog syslog 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off /sbin/chkconfig –levels 34 syslog off. 10 things you should do to a new Linux PC before exposing it to.
