WinRAR on CentOS with cPanel

admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:31:47 +0000

I’ve seen alot of people get stumped by an error that looks like this, rar: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7′ not found (required by rar) even I did for a while, after numerous google searches I found nothing, however today I finally ran into the site that saved me!

Basically

rm -rf /usr/bin/rar
ln -s /usr/local/rar/rar_static /usr/bin/rar

For me the location varied a little because I extracted everything in a different spot!

Experimenting with Perl

admin — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:52:47 +0000

Well, this is my first actual experiment with Perl. All it does is chmod 750 some fetch utilities. In my next build I want to set it up so that if the file exists, and if it doesnt, it will prompt you that the file is not on the system and it is being skipped.

#!/usr/bin/perl
# Revision 1 - 09-03-09
# Initial Build
# Chmod 750 of rcp, wget, lynx, links, elinks, scp, nc, ftp, telnet, curl
 
print ("Permissions?\n");
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/rcp');
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/wget');
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/lynx');
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/links');
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/elinks');
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/scp');
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/nc');
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/ftp');
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/telnet');

Lets see how this turns out over the next few days.

Update before I go to bed:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# Revision 1 - 09-03-09 0055
# Initial Build
# Chmod 750 of rcp, wget, lynx, links, elinks, scp, nc, ftp, ssh, telnet, curl
#
# Revision 2 - 09-03-09 0113
# If else statements are in place, they can handle if the file does or does not exist
 
print ("Permissions lol...\n");
$filename = '/usr/bin/wget';
if (-e $filename) {
print "Found $filename\n";
system ("chmod 750 -v '/usr/bin/wget'");
}
else
{ print "File $filename, not found\n";
}
$filename = '/usr/bin/curl';
if (-e $filename) {
print "Found $filename\n";
system ("chmod 750 -v '/usr/bin/curl'");
}
else
{ print "File $filename, not found\n";
}
$filename = '/usr/bin/rcp';
if (-e $filename) {
print "Founds $filename\n";
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/rcp');
}
else
{ print "File $filename, not found\n";
}
$filename = '/usr/bin/lynx';
if (-e $filename) {
print "Found $filename\n";
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/lynx');
}
else
{ print "File $filename, not found\n";
}
$filename = '/usr/bin/elinks';
if (-e $filename) {
print "Found $filename\n";
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/elinks');
}
else
{ print "File $filename, not found\n";
}
$filename = '/usr/bin/scp';
if (-e $filename) {
print "Found $filename\n";
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/scp');
}
else
{ print "File $filename, not found\n";
}
$filename = '/usr/bin/nc';
if (-e $filename) {
print "Found $filename\n";
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/nc');
}
else
{ print "File $filename, not found\n";
}
$filename = '/usr/bin/ftp';
if (-e $filename) {
print "Found $filename\n";
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/ftp');
}
else
{ print "File $filename, not found\n";
}
$filename = '/usr/bin/telnet';
if (-e $filename) {
print "Found $filename\n";
system ('chmod 750 -v /usr/bin/telnet');
}
else
{ print "File $filename, not found\n";

}
print “Permissions set to 750 across the board.\n”

And now the last revision of the night, colors.

# Colors?

Ubuntu 9.0.4 – Installing SSHD

admin — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 20:31:22 +0000

So after isntalling a fresh copy of Ubuntu today, I try:

r00t@r00t-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Package openssh-server is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package openssh-server has no installation candidate

No big deal, lets look up how to fix this online.

After a whole 2 minutes of googling I figure out all I need to run are:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ssh-server

Done. Now fire up putty and try to connect or “ssh -p 22 localhost”.
