Bind9 Error on Debian Etch

Posted Thu, 05/22/2008 - 8:07am by crmanski

For those of you running a bind dns server you may have come across this error only when trying to restart your DNS server

 Reloading domain name service... : bindrndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused
 

This has to do with the configuration of (or lack there of) in /etc/bind/rndc.conf

Ubuntu - Dapper: Installing Webmin

Posted Tue, 06/06/2006 - 11:43am by crmanski

Webmin is an excellent web-based interface to your *nix based machines. There are no webmin packages in the latest release "Dapper". This is how to install webmin to a Dapper server install...
(Update 2/24/2008: I do this on versions of Ubuntu up to the latest beta release also or on Debain (etch, lenny so far))

1. Install SSH

apt-get install ssh

2. Enable the universe and multiverse repositories in the /etc/apt/sources.list (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesCliHowto)
