UNIX

After I upgraded to baselayout 1.12-pre-something on my firewall and workstation, I had to reinstall my machines (using Gentoo). I guess I could have chroot'ed and manually reinstalled a good version of baselayout, but I choose to reinstall my workstation.

The plan was to fix my firewall right after that (I still hadn't rebooted it yet so it was running). Unfortunatley the firewall was rebooted and I had to reinstall that one too since I hadn't fixed so single user mode worked through serial.

So Internet have been down here for a week (I was lazy =).

This is part 2 of my reorganization..
When I was doing all that moving around and stuff, it got out of hands with vhosts for three domains (for now!). So I figured I should take a look at mod_vhost_alias.

After some reading and whining on IRC, I came up with this config which works with my "old" setup (that is, the one I just made a few hours ago):
apache httpd.conf:

<Directory "/usr/local/www/domains/*/*/htdocs/">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

<Directory "/usr/local/www/domains/*/*/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

And the vhost stuff:

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin foo-removed@*-removed-*.stoldgods.nu
VirtualDocumentRoot /usr/local/www/domains/%-2.0.%-1/%-3+/htdocs
VirtualScriptAlias /usr/local/www/domains/%-2.0.%-1/%-3+/cgi-bin
</VirtualHost>

Here are a few examples what the result looks like:

foo.domain.tld : /usr/local/www/domains/domain.tld/foo/htdocs
foo.bar.domain.tld : /usr/local/www/domains/domain.tld/foo.bar/htdocs
foo.bar.baz.anotherdomain.tld : /usr/local/www/domains/anotherdomain.tld/foo.bar.baz/htdocs
anotherdomain.tld : /usr/local/www/domains/anotherdomain.tld/_/htdocs


Although I have started this little app "by misstake" before, I have really never looked at what it really is.

KSysGuard is a really simple app that lets you monitor one or more computers through a small application called ksysguardd. It can monitor network traffic (bad packets, compressed packets, etc), get information from hardware sensors through lm_sensors and more.

Here's a screenshot of it in action monitoring my firewall and my server.


You can add new sheets to have one for each server, have a process controll table where you can see all running processes and send signals to them.

To use it you can either run ksysguardd as a daemon or start it through ssh (default), rsh or a custom command.

Today I tried to change my Debian machine to use udev and found out Debian's udev init script or something like that is totally fucked up.
