undestanding what i understood was wrong...!?!!!

its quite amazing to understand that some files work just the opposite wat it was intended once we change the labels...
i was referring to the FTP configuration file, some days back only i got the real usage of the user_list file..

first of all we need to enable FTP service to read the user_list file

userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=YES # means that the users inside the vsftpd.user_list are denied, which is the default
userlist_deny=NO # means that the users inside the vsftpd.user_list are only allowed to login via FTP

anyways.. nice to understand that even at this later stage...!?!!!

never mkfs an extended partition...!?!!!

i know im on the beginning stages of experience...

and one did happen yday when i tried to mkfs an extended parition... it did try making a filesystem but ended up showing a Segmentation Fault ... and when i reinstalled ...it was gone....

i made a 32 GB extended partition with no logical volumes in it.. it was made as such... and then i tried..

#mke2fs /dev/hda4
it did show me a message... something like its the full harddisk and am i sure abt the filesystem creation...something like that... i simply pressed the 'y' key and proceeded with the process...

and at last.. a Segmentation Fault...

anyways... put the first installation CD and performed an NFS installation...

shell scripting on the process..........

will be out with it soooon..........

well...
configured my pc as a DNS server... leaving me with all kinds of confusions...

i made two zone files... mkfs.zone and reverse.zone for the domain mkfs.com

initially moved the named.local and localhost.zone in /var/named to reverse.zone and mkfs.zone respectievely... making them symlinks to the files inside /var/named/chroot/var/named

it didnt work out...

then i moved the files into /var/named/chroot/var/named and named them as such... reverse.zone and mkfs.zone... and it worked kool..

but.. i think /etc/named.conf fils specifies the zone files to be placed inside /var/named directory only.....

i cant understand myself wat exactly is happening....!!!

anyways... will come with the scripting references soon.............

DNS atlast worked fine here in nascent...
did the same thing which i did last week before leaving to blore..
at times linux behaves strangely... indeed strange...

just copied the zone files to /var/named/chroot/var/named and made symlinks to them inside /var/named... exactly wat i did last week...

anyways..its working fine now... and one more thing.........

never use sendmail with IP.... always use hostnames... that wat i think now...
