  • apache2-mpm-itk – apache2-mpm-itk (just mpm-itk for short) is an MPM (Multi-Processing Module) for the Apache web server. mpm-itk allows you to run each of your vhost under a separate uid and gid—in short, the scripts and configuration files for one vhost no longer have to be readable for all the other vhosts. mpm-itk is based on the traditional prefork MPM, which means it's non-threaded; in short, this means you can run non-thread-aware code (like many PHP extensions) without problems. On the other hand, you lose out to any performance benefit you'd get with threads, of course; you'd have to decide for yourself if that's worth it or not. You will also take an additional performance hit over prefork, since there's an extra fork per request. [ via http://bastian.rieck.ru/blog/posts/2012/secure_owncloud_installation/ ]

  • Sendmail relay configuration on AIX | Leave No Bit Unturned – This document describes how to set up a Sendmail e-mail gateway or relay which will be able to process incoming mail and route it to different mail servers based on domain information. The routing table is based on the Sendmail mailertable feature instead of the usual MX record based routing. This will come handy when there is a need to route mail internally in a different way than externally.

  • carloslima/dhsnapshot · GitHub – This script was created out of the need to have snapshots-like backups using the DreamHost Backup service, which provides 50GB of space for personal backups but gives very limited access to it's servers. Basically, you have no SSH access, only RSync and SFTP. It can be used to backup any machine: your computer, a server or even a Dreamhost-hosted website. You just need to configure it with the path to backup, your dreamhost backup account and the private key used for authentication and it will create daily backups and keep the last 7 days, 4 weeks and 6 months.
  • palexander/dreamback · GitHub – Dreamback is the easiest way to automate your backups on dreamhost. Dreamhost does not guarantee their backups of your users (though they've saved me with backups before), so it's best to run backups yourself. This is beta quality software. Please report issues if you have them. Using Dreamback is easy: 1) Create a user on dreamhost to manage your backups 2) Log in with your new user 3) gem install dreamback 4) dreamback 5) Answer the questions to setup your automated backup
  • View all MySQL Variables for Pasting into my.cnf – This is really useful for me because I work with dozens of different database servers. The first thing I do is run this command and paste it into the servers /etc/my.cnf file. That way I will always know the original value and it just makes life much easier.
  • How Permissions Work – Permissions are a key component of the Windows Server 2003 security architecture that you can use to manage the process of authorizing users, groups, and computers to access objects on a network.
