RHCE- how many have passed on the first attempt?

tried it a few months ago and did a 78.5 on the 8.0 exam. Needed an 80. Wasn't terribly hard. You really have to know your stuff to have a chance of remotely finishing it. The local stuff is what killed me. All the network services, samba, nfs, apache, nis, squid, sendmail I had no prob...

Redhat to Release 9 on March 31st

We're comfortably running 8.0 on production servers. Their errata is kept current whether it be 7.2 7.3 or 8.0. So there isn't really room for concern in my opinion.

AH! New to Red Hat Linux 8.0...

I'd entirely recommend against a -U flag when dealing with a kernel. I'd only use the -i flag.

Apache - Increasing the HARD_SERVER_LIMIT

I'd entirely recommend, given your comfort level, to stick with a linux distro and that distros packaging methods. Red Hat's httpd and php packages will provide all of the modules and configured support that you will ever need. It also makes upgrading a particular item much quicker and cleaner...

Apache - Increasing the HARD_SERVER_LIMIT

Common signs are if anyone ever experiences page timeouts where apache is unable to load the page in time while it is fully functional. We use more sophisticated monitoring mechanisms to give us reports as to concurrent connection statistics on a per server basis, allowing us to make the call...

Apache - Increasing the HARD_SERVER_LIMIT

You would need to compile apache, and then compile php and reference the php module in your apache configuration file. Depending on what you require out of php (imap or mysql support, etc.) will determine how you compile it. I'm uncertain as to your need for more than 256 concurrent...

Apache - Increasing the HARD_SERVER_LIMIT

There is an entry in httpd.conf for this called MaxClients (apache 1.3.x/2.x). Determines the maximum number of connections apache can handle at one time. Modify this number and restart apache. You don't need to recompile apache or php for such an increase.

RedHat 8.0: Stopping lpd [FAILED]....

Can't stop the service if it never started successfully to begin with. Likely erroring out because lpd isn't starting -- likely not starting because it requires a valid host entry in /etc/hosts pertaining to your system's hostname.

Some Stupid Linux Questions

Assuming it's similar to redhat, you can run the setup utility (netconfig with redhat) and specify what you want. Config files should be somewhere near /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 eth1, etc. Bootproto entry set to equal dhcp is what you want. ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 drops your...

.htaccess - SOLVED!

A common mistake is the permissions settings on the .htpasswd file. They need to be readable by the user apache is running as. So typically a permission setting of 644 (rw-r--r--) is what I recommend, somewhere in an isolated non web served location.

WHICH FILE SYSTEM BEST FOR GAMES - NTFS OR FAT32?

that write-up basically stipulates that NTFS is better for everything. The only time I ever take fat into consideration is when the file system must be readable/writeable by various operating systems.

How to access NTFS partition from Linux?

We're still discussing it. The size of impact has yet to be determined -- 7.3 is now scheduled to be discarded by the end of 2003 from what I've read, and we are heavy 7.3 users. We are by no means red hat dependant -- nearly all services are taken as source whether that be Apache, Exim, BIND...
