LINUX Clouds

Steps: 1) mkdir /RHEL/ISO/ -p 2) copy the CD's or DVD in /RHEL/ISO directory cp -rvf /media/RHEL_5.4\ i386\ DVD/* /RHEL/ISO/ 3) cd /RHEL/ISO/ 4) Install the Createrepo rpm rpm -ivh Server/createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.noarch.rpm 5) cd /RHEL 6) createrepo . 7) yum list 8) vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo -->edit it as below #[rhel-debuginfo] [rhel] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug baseurl=file:///RHEL/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release #name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Debug #baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/Debuginfo/ #enabled=0 #gpgcheck=1 #gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release 9) yum list 10) gpgcheck should be "0" so [root@Desktop]# grep -i gpg /etc/yum.conf gpgcheck=0 11) yum install vsftpd*

The RX and TX columns show how many packets have been received or transmitted error-free (RX-OK/TX-OK) or damaged (RX-ERR/TX-ERR); how many were dropped (RX-DRP/TX-DRP); and how many were lost because of an overrun (RX-OVR/TX-OVR). The last column shows the flags that have been set for this interface. These characters are one-character versions of the long flag names that are printed when you display the interface configuration with ifconfig: B ...

This option is especially useful when you want to avoid address lookups over the network (e.g., to a DNS or NIS server). The second column of netstat 's output shows the gateway to which the routing entry points. If no gateway is used, an asterisk is printed instead. The third column shows the “generality” of the route, i.e., the network mask for this route. When given an IP address to find a suitable route for, the kernel steps thr...
