From my mail bag:

I would like to run few commands such as stop or start web server as a root user. How do I allow a normal user to run these commands as root?

Static routes improves overall performance of your network (especially bandwidth saving). They are also useful in stub networks (i.e. there is only one link to the network). For example, each LAN (located at different offices) is connected to HQ IDC (Internet data center) using single T1/LL/Wan links.

For example under Red Hat/Fedora Linux you can add static router for eth0 network interface by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 file. Under Debian Linux add static route by editing /etc/network/interface file.

You can set a password for the GRUB bootloader. This prevents users from entering single user mode or changing settings at boot time. When your system is rebooted, grub presents the boot option menu. From this menu one can easily login into a single user mode without the password which might result into compromise system security. For example, anyone can access the data or change the settings. However you can setup a password for grub with password option. This option forces grub to ask for a password before making any changes or entering into single user mode. You need to type p followed by password.]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-secure-grub-boot-loader.html/feed 5 Linux > Command line BitTorrent clienthttp://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-command-line-bittorrent-client.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-command-line-bittorrent-client.html#comments Mon, 14 Mar 2005 13:26:00 +0000 nixcraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-command-line-bittorrent-client.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-command-line-bittorrent-client.html/feed 88
