Using Nagios to Monitor Networks
by lecyborgNagios is a powerful, modular network monitoring system that can be used to monitor many network services like smtp, http and dns on remote hosts. It also has support for snmp to allow you to check things like processor loads on routers and servers. I couldn't begin to cover all of the things that nagios can do in this article, so I'll just cover the basics to get you up and running.
Postfix Cyrus IMAP SSL LDAP
by lecyborgLa série d'articles de cette rubrique est entièrement dédiée à la mise en oeuvre d'un serveur de mail basé sur Postfix et Cyrus-Imap. Ces deux éléments sont tout simplement ce qui ce fait de mieux actuellement dans leur domaine respectif:
* Postfix : protocole smpt ou smtps pour le mode sécurisé
* Cyrus imap : protocole POP3 ou POP3S (mode sécurisé) ou IMAP ou IMAPS (mode sécurisé).
Integrating amavisd-new Into Postfix For Spam- And Virus-Scanning
by lecyborg & 1 otherThis article shows how to integrate amavisd-new into a Postfix mail server for spam- and virus-scanning. amavisd-new is a high-performance interface between MTAs such as Postfix and content checkers: virus scanners, and/or SpamAssassin. We will use ClamAV for virus scanning and SpamAssassin for spam scanning in this tutorial.
I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
Postfix Virtual Domain Hosting Howto
by lecyborgThis document requires Postfix version 2.0 or later.
This document gives an overview of how Postfix can be used for hosting multiple Internet domains, both for final delivery on the machine itself and for the purpose of forwarding to destinations elsewhere.
The text not only describes delivery mechanisms that are built into Postfix, but also gives pointers for using non-Postfix mail delivery software.

Convertir système debian en Raid1
by lecyborgOur intention is not to build a fail-safe system nor a HA-Linux. We are just using RAID-1 mirrored disks to make sure that the system can be restored easily if 1 disk crashes.
The following has been tested only twice (hey, we've got other things to do). It did work for us, it might work for you. It might also make your rats go berserk or just blow your mind.
SSH Port Forwarding
by lecyborgSSH also has a wonderful feature called SSH Port Forwarding, sometimes called SSH Tunneling, which allows you to establish a secure SSH session and then tunnel arbitrary TCP connections through it. Tunnels can be created at any time, with almost no effort and no programming, which makes them very appealing. In this article we look at SSH Port Forwarding in detail, as it is a very useful but often misunderstood technology. SSH Port Forwarding can be used for secure communications in a myriad of different ways. Let's start with an example.
RAID1 on Debian Sarge
by lecyborgA RAID device is a Redundant Array of Independent Disks. The concept was developed in 1987 at UC Berkeley and involves the creation of a virtual disk from multiple small disks in order to deliver improved performance and reliability. There are many flavors of RAID and lots of variations in how to implement it. We detail here a specific instance we use: software RAID1 using IDE disks on a Dell PowerEdge box running Debian "sarge" loaded with grub, managed by mdadm, using the ext3 journaling file system.
How to convert your debian partition to a software raid 1 on the fly
by lecyborgThe system is equipped with 2 similar hard disks (they do not have to be the same but it helps if they are at least similar). The first disk is attached to the primary IDE as master, it will be referenced as /dev/hda. The second disk is attached to the secondary IDE also as master, it will be referenced as /dev/hdc.
How to Install Openvpn
by lecyborgThe purpose of this document is to describe how to install OpenVPN server on an Ubuntu Linux system and have it utilize an Ethernet bridge to access your local network. Ethernet bridges essentially allow the operating system to treat multiple network interfaces as one combined port. When used with OpenVPN a bridge will allow you to easily connect external users to your internal network and have them receive all traffic as though they were locally connected. The alternative is to use OpenVPN with a route but that will not allow some forms of traffic through (such as multicast), multicast traffic is important to me as many games require multicast data.

Xen from Backports on Debian Sarge
by lecyborgThere is a great howto about installing Xen on Debian Unstable. It is really easy to do and it runs fine. Nevertheless, on production servers, that's not an optimal solution. Debian Unstable has too many updates and things change too often. On production machines, a Xen host system should be stable, secure and should not need much attention. That is where Sarge comes in. If you pull the Xen packages from backports and install them on Debian stable you've got the best of both worlds. Let's do so!
Firewall et sécurisation d'un réseau personnel sous Linux
by lecyborg & 1 otherCe document a pour but d'expliquer les rudiments de la sécurité d'une machine Linux placée dans un réseau local (typiquement une maison on un appartement), reliée à Internet. Il est tout particulièrement destiné aux utilisateurs néophytes, ou n'ayant pas ou peu de connaissance sur la sécurité informatique en général, et sous Linux en particulier.
13 Raccourcis clavier pour Bash

Ici, je vous propose de passer en revue 13 d'entre eux qui vont vous être utiles au quotidien

zabbix
by lecyborgLa gestion d'un parc de serveur est un travail de chaque instant. Un bon administrateur système doit savoir à tout moment l'état des différentes machines et des différents services. Un autre aspect clé est que l'administrateur ne peut pas se permettre de passer son temps devant un tableau avec des voyants verts en attendant qu'un voyant passe au rouge pour agir. Son temps est occupé à d'autres tâches et il ne peut donc pas surveiller le tableau de statut en permanence.

Accents des fichiers Samba/Linux
by lecyborgOn a donc le charset ISO-8859-1 utilisé sur la machine qui fait tourner samba (à vous de spécifier le votre, en général ce sera celui là sur une installation en français), et sur les clients windows, on a la page de code 850 (pour la connaitre, taper chcp en ligne de commande sous windows).
