Comment on How to install and configure Jabber Server (Ejabberd) on Debian Lenny GNU / Linux by admin.

If your jabber init script /etc/init.d/ejabberd start is failing to launch ejabberd, once all is configured as explained in the article, you’ll have to check your firewall rules, you will need to have allowed for connection as a minimum following rules add them to your firewall init script and then try again. Another thing to check whether it is the firewall causing ejabberd to malfunction, just stop the firewall for a short time and relaunch ejabberd:

-A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1/32 -p tcp -m tcp –dport 5222 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1/32 -p tcp -m tcp –dport 5223 -j ACCEPT

Actually lately I prefer Gajim much more, because Pidgin is too much interactive for my console soul 🙂

Hi Carl,

At time of writting the article I was still using Lenny. Now I guess the tutorial to install should be similar even when using newer versions.

Christ is Risen Eastern Orthodox Resurrection Paschal Greeting in Different Languages
Hi Stan,

I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.

Best Regards

Install and configure rkhunter for improved security on a PCI DSS Linux / BSD servers with no access to Internet
       –rwo, –report-warnings-only
              This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
              be used to force other items of information to be displayed.

       –sk, –skip-keypress
              When  the  –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
              in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.

As rkhunter check, can be pretty annoying and ask you to press keypresses multiple times and spit you a lot of unnecessery data a very good useful option arguments are:

–rwo and –sk

# rkhunter -c –rwo –sk
Warning: The SSH and rkhunter configuration options should be the same:
