  • Huiswerk Linux: Sendmail Virtual User Instellen
    Huiswerk Linux: Sendmail virtual user instellen Als professioneel administrator wil je zo min mogelijk gebruikers op je Linux machine hebben. Echte Linux gebruikers hebben login-rechten op jouw server en kunnen schade aanrichten op jouw machine. Het is in de meeste gevallen niet nodig om voor iedere klant een gebruikersaccount aan te maken. De meeste klanten willen alleen dat hun e-mail werkt. De opdracht voor deze week is: maak een virtual user voor het testdomein.nl aan. Over virtual users Het nadeel van het instellen van Virtual Hosts is dat alle gebruikers geldig zijn voor ieder e-mail domein dat je aanmaakt. Stel dat je een e-mail domein ( virtual host ) voor een klant aanmaakt, zodat zij e-mail kan ontvangen via dit domein. Dit betekent dat andere gebruikers ook e-mail kunnen ontvangen voor datzelfde domein. Dit veroorzaakt veel extra spam. Het handige van virtual users is dat ze alleen bestaan voor het domein waarvoor ze zijn aangemaakt. Het sudo mechanisme Het configureren van Linux doen we namens de super-user . We moeten daarom tijdelijk inloggen als Administrator. Cygwin gebruikers Andere Linux gebruikers Sudo voor Cygwin gebruikers: rechts-klik op het icoon van de Sudo voor gebruikers van andere Linux-versies ( Ubuntu , Cygwin terminal, en kies voor Als administrator uitvoeren . Lubuntu , Kubuntu , Android , Gentoo , Debian , etc): start een Zorg er ook voor dat de Sendmail daemon is gestart: terminal met de toetsencombinatie <Ctrl><Alt>-T. We gebruiken het commando sudo om in te loggen met het su service sendmail start (become Super User) commando.

  • The Healthy Programmer - Get Fit
    Early praise for The Healthy Programmer Joe Kutner offers practical, readable, and well-researched advice for those who sit at a keyboard. I’ve incorporated his health-and-fitness regimen into my writing routine. ➤ Dr. Steve Overman Professor of Physical Education (retired), Jackson State University Health and programming should go together like a horse and carriage. You can’t have one without the other. In our sedentary office work, we often forget that an absence of health is as bad as a lack of programming skills. Joe points out a dozen areas where you and I can do better. Every office worker should read this book and self-reflect on health improvements. ➤ Staffan Nöteberg Author of Pomodoro Technique Illustrated This book introduced me to the term conditioned hypereating. It felt life-changing. Being aware of this has made it easier to experiment with smaller, less-ambitious changes that actually have a chance at succeeding. I’m very curious to see where this puts me a year from now. ➤ Katrina Owen Developer, Jumpstart Lab The Healthy Programmer is excellent. In many ways it’s a spiritual continuation of The Hacker’s Diet. ➤ Stephen Ball Senior Rails programmer, PhishMe, Inc. The Healthy Programmer Get Fit, Feel Better, and Keep Coding Joe Kutner The Pragmatic Bookshelf Dallas, Texas • Raleigh, North Carolina Many of the designations used by manufacturers and sellers to distinguish their products are claimed as trademarks.
