This is the MRTG file I used to understand how to configure Penguincares. :)

REMEMBER TO USE INDEXMAKER TO CREATE A NEW MRTG INDEX FILE AFTER YOU HAVE ADDED MORE STUFF TO YOUR PENGUINCARES.CFG FILE.

First of all, my believe that to successfully manage a system, you must use rpm to distribute software - compiling and installing from source may work at the beginning, and in small scale, but you quickly get bogged down and the system becomes unmanageable.

Configuring mrtg to monitor a server.
I will be using mrtg, ucd-snmp (now net-snmp), and some some apache plugins to provide a detailed system status. The system I am using is RH 7.1, but I will try to make the instructions as general as possible. An example output of such system is available here and here.

HOWTO : configuring openssh for chrooted sessions on linux, and run applications from the chroot cage (scp, rsync)
This document was born out of the need for me to upload/download files to a linux box, and to trigger file syncronization of the changes to a backup box by means of rsync through ssh.

Authenticating Linux against Active Directory
One thing to keep in mind is that ? even when signed on in active directory - it doesn’t offer a complete single sign on ? yet. You will still have to provide a user name and password if using a windows based proxy server such as ISA server. You will probably still have to use a user name and password if using a windows based mail server (Although Evolution supports GSS API and through this you should be able to eliminate this sign-on ? I will be trying this out at some point).

Introduction
Setting up a RAID system with Slackware is not extremely difficult once you have a good idea of what you are doing. It can be a slightly daunting task the first few times, especially if you aren’t comfortable with the intricacies of LILO and working on the command line. The existing documentation for configuring software RAID I found on the web and Usenet was either from 1998, or specific to one distribution, such as Red Hat. The most recent document I could find was dated January 2000, which is still very old at the time of the original writing, late September 2001. So why a Slackware specific RAID document? Other than the fact that Slackware is the only distribution I use, it is such a ‘generic’ distribution that almost all of what is presented here can be easily ported to other distributions.
