How to install rsync server on CentOS

By depratama
These are steps to install rsync server. 

Install xinetd and rsync packages
#yum -y install xinetd rsync

Then make sure xinetd is running on levels 3, 4 and 5
#chkconfig --level 345 xinetd on

Modify rsync xinetd configuration. We shoud change disable = yes to disable = no

#vi /etc/xinetd.d/rsync

Next, create rsync secrets file for password with format of username:password
#vi /etc/rsyncd.secrets

Last create configuration for rsync shares
#vi /etc/rsyncd.conf

Fill this configuration
# rsyncd.conf
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
read only = yes
list = yes
uid = nobody
gid = nobody

[out]
comment = Interesting stuff from this server
path = /home/rsync/out

[confidential]
comment = FYI
path = /home/rsync/secret-out
auth users = demby,pratama
hosts allow = *.pratama.us
hosts deny = *
list = false 

Then save

After that, fix up permission and ownership file, and restart xinetd service
#chown root.root /etc/rsyncd.*
#chmod 600 /etc/rsyncd.*
#service xinetd restart

You can test it locally:

#telnet 127.0.0.1 873

You should check your server. If SELinux is running, you must disable it or you can let it run. But you have to change some variable. Use this command
#setsebool -P rsync_disable_trans 1
#service xinetd restart

Running the client:

On the remote machine:
# rsync -arv your-user-name@host-with-code-to-sync:/home/rsync/out ./

That's how to install rsync server on CentOS

Extend a LVM partition after increasing its virtual disk on Virtualbox

By depratama
No Linux machine at work? the easy way could be to simply install Virtualbox in one of the PC, create a VDI and install Ubuntu 14.04 in it. But the day will come when you need more space!

And  this is a website  to convert Gb into Mb (–resize takes Mb as input, 200Gb = 204800Mb). Boot Gparted to resize the partition After a default install of Ubuntu Server on one physical disk, you will have a SWAP partition, and then an extended partition in which you’ll have your LVM partition (So 3 partitions).  Download Gparted  .iso,...

Word 2003 “This document couldnot be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document.”

By depratama
One day when i open a document in Ms. Word 2003, I get the message “ This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document .” After searching using google.com and open some website, i have one solution. It’s only one maybe two step that i have to do. I open my services panel and activated my DCOM Server Process Launcher . And, it works, the message no longer show again when i open my document using word 2003. That’s all. I hope it works to you too, if you have same problem. Nb: Open services panel, just open Run (Start–> Run) and type services.msc then Enter .
