How To Setup A Linux PC Card Server

sudo gives you permissions to edit/create files and other options when not logged in as root.

These are the default paths where cccam and newcs live and look for configs:

/var/bin/newcs_167
/etc/newcs.xml

/var/bin/CCcam.x86
/var/etc/CCcam.cfg

You will need to create some of these directories. You shouldnt need to use sudo to execute cccam or newcs using these paths.

... but I get errors running cccam unless I run as sudo still - think this is a permissions issue...

Code: 
sudo chmod 755 /path/to/cccam
The above should cure any problems with execute permissions.
 
Anyone got a timed reboot script for an ubuntu server they would like to share?

Just add the following to a cron job scheduled to run at whatever time you want.

Code: 
/sbin/shutdown -r now
 
Should I create a new cron job for this task? And what would be the best way to to it? Still a linux noob!
 
Its just a case of adding a line to '/etc/crontab' .

Adding the following would reboot your server every day at 5:30am.

Code: 
30 05 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now

This works fine for me while logged in as root.

You may find that it wont work under whatever username you are logged in as. I haven't tested this.

In that case, one way around it would be to run the following from the command line.

Code: 
sudo echo "30 05 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now" >> /etc/crontab

Make sure you enter both redirection symbols here (>>). Otherwise you'll end up overwriting the crontab file instead of appending a line to it.
 
or install webmim
webmin.com

with webmin you can control your linix server
also make cron jobs wiht a mouse klik
and many more
you will see :)

Thx for the link, its a great tool! Cant seem to get the ssh access to work though, have got java, its appears to login ok but just displays a black screen with no prompt? Will have to play around with the settings...... or just stick to putty. Cheers
 
whats the reason for rebooting everyday?
 
I run a script at 3am to update CCcam.cfg with one I have adjusted (added peers to etc) rather than doing it on the fly and causing freezing everytime I make a change and save it. It also does some backups and system updates and it reboots when its all done just to make sure everything is running smoothly. It never used to, I read a few posts that recommended doing it and then got the above advice to create a cron.

Yes, I agree. Webmin is a great tool. I use it all the time. Probably more than any other application on the systems I maintain.

The reason I didn't mention it was because I just didnt want to further complicate things by suggesting installing yet another package. Just for the sake of doing something as simple as setting up a cron job.

hi, I am trying to achieve this using filezilla but being new I can't. How do I give myself permission using filezilla? or what is the script to transfer it from the desktop?

regards
 
Just some info on my experience with Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 - I know it is not the latest version, but it is the latest released version. It runs on an Intel D945GCLF2 Atom 330 based motherboard (1.6GHz 2GB ram).

I found it to be unstable at times. Some devices got excellent times and some could not connect. Browsed around and found several threads that quote IP6 causing problems. I disabled IP6 and all the problems went away. All devices stable and fast.:)

So if you get 'funny' behaviour, try disabling IPv6.

Sounds good, how do I disable IPv6 in ubuntu?
 
Straight from Ubuntu documentation:

  1. IPv6 is supported by default in Ubuntu and can sometimes cause problems.
  2. To disable it, open a Terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal) and type the command: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.
  3. Find the line "alias net-pf-10 ipv6" and change it to read "alias net-pf-10 off".
  4. Reboot Ubuntu.

well I did as instructed, the file aliases had nothing in it, so I typed the replacement line, saved the file and re-booted. Sorry but no change, I still can't save any other files.

Hi,
Now that I have the card recognised what is a typical setup of newcs.xml and cccam.cfg. Not what goes in them particulsarly but where should they be placed. If I understand the principle of a server is to do away with any setup except maybe cccam.cfg or even newcs.xml (see how confused I am) on the dm. Can anyone give me guidance where they should be located?

Regards
