Righto, so it looks like the Sudoers file, that I need to edit, is read only.
Just means you have to tell the editor that you "mean it" when you save. In vi that means :w! instead of :w
-
Righto, I've blocked root access via SSH and renamed the server to something more useful (for ron... later on)
-
Hmmm, attempting to install htop is proving to be more difficult than
yum -y install htop.
I can't seem to connect to any of the mirrors.
*http://mirror.netflash.net/centos/7.0.1406/updates/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#6 - "Could not *resolve host: mirror.netflash.net; Unknown error"
Trying other mirror. -
Often that means that DNS isn't set up. Can you lookup addresses in general?
-
You might need to set dns in resolv.conf
-
If the DNS issue doesn't resolve it you may have to refresh your YUM cache. I think a yum -clean all or yum -clean headers will do that.
-
Excellent suggestions!
I'll check that out when I get home 
-
Found the location of resolv.conf and how to edit here: http://ask.xmodulo.com/configure-static-dns-centos-fedora.html
htop now installed. I quite like it -
All configuration is just in /etc
-
@scottalanmiller nice. I screen shot the directory from my laptop with a GUI
Ā
EDIT: that sounded disturbingly like TV IT. I apologise to all those who are racing for the spew buckets -
Reading for when I get home: https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-vpn.html

That's from CentOS 5. A bit old these days.

I thought just about everyone had given up on C@C now. Espcially since they never said what they'd do to fix the problems or had their webinar thing they promised.

Nope still using them for personal lab stuff... still really can't beat the price for things that aren't really important.

Still using and increasing usage here. For lab boxes they remain unbeatable. For production, we never were looking at them for that. I was pretty shocked when people started trying to deploy production to them. A little testing showed that normal production workloads weren't going to work there.

part of the time I can't even get file uploads to complete for testing things. It kinda works for testing for me. It depends on the day.

Oh, righto. I'll have to keep digging then.
-
Righto, I'm still logging my experiences/project advancement here.
If you want to Negatron C@C, that's fine and can be fun BUT there are plenty of other threads, so please go and do it there. The little heart symbol (lower left of each post) will let you copy a hotlink to each post. Please use that for referencing my stuff in this thread
I'll be flagging posts that fall afoul of the above text in bold. Hmmmkay? <-- rhetorical question
