Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Mandriva 2008.0)
This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is
based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in
a MySQL database. I’ll also demonstrate the installation and
configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier
can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota (quota is not built into Postfix by default, I’ll show how to patch your Postfix appropriately). Passwords are stored in encrypted
form in the database (most documents I found were dealing with plain
text passwords which is a security risk). In addition to that, this
tutorial covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV so that emails will be scanned for spam and viruses.

Installing MyDNS And The MyDNSConfig Control Panel On Mandriva 2008.0

Installing MyDNS And The MyDNSConfig Control Panel On Mandriva 2008.0
In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure MyDNS
and MyDNSConfig on Mandriva 2008.0. MyDNS is a DNS server that uses a
MySQL database as backend instead of configuration files like, for
example, Bind or djbdns. The advantage is that MyDNS simply reads the
records from the database, and it does not have to be
restarted/reloaded when DNS records change or zones are
created/edited/deleted. A secondary nameserver can be easily set up by
installing a second instance of MyDNS that accesses the same database
or, to be more redundant, uses the MySQL master / slave replication
features to replicate the data to the secondary nameserver.

How To Enable NTFS Write Support (ntfs-3g) On Mandriva 2007 Spring
Normally Linux systems can only read from Windows NTFS partitions,
but not write to them which can be very annoying if you have to work
with Linux and Windows systems. This is where ntfs-3g comes into play. ntfs-3g
is an open source, freely available NTFS driver for Linux with read and
write support. This tutorial shows how to install and use ntfs-3g on a Mandriva 2007 Spring desktop to read from and write to Windows NTFS drives and partitions.

Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Mandriva 2007 Spring
This document describes how to install a PureFTPd server that uses
virtual users from a MySQL database instead of real system users. This
is much more performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a
single machine. In addition to that I will show the use of quota and
upload/download bandwidth limits with this setup. Passwords will be
stored encrypted as MD5 strings in the database.

How To Harden PHP5 With Suhosin On Mandriva 2007 Spring
This tutorial shows how to harden PHP5 with Suhosin on a Mandriva 2007 Spring server. From the Suhosin project page: “Suhosin
is an advanced protection system for PHP installations that was
designed to protect servers and users from known and unknown flaws in
PHP applications and the PHP core. Suhosin comes in two independent
parts, that can be used separately or in combination. The first part is
a small patch against the PHP core, that implements a few low-level
protections against buffer overflows or format string vulnerabilities
and the second part is a powerful PHP extension that implements all the
other protections.”
