HTTP-Retrievable Linode Stats (in XML)

Mar 16, 2005
by Christopher Aker
By request of satyap, I’ve extended the [url=https://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=776]bw-xml script [/url]to include more data. [code]https://www.linode.com/members/bw/?user=[linodeUsername] https://www.linode.com/members/info/?user=[linodeUsername][/code] Since this is XML, the old /bw/ URL returns the identical data. The http request must come from one of the IPs of [linodeUsername]. There is no access control other than this. If that’s an issue, let me know. Example […]

CentOS 4.0 now available

Mar 14, 2005
by Christopher Aker
CentOS 4.0 now available through the Distro Wizard. [img]https://www.linode.com/images/logos/centoslogo-64.png[/img] “udev” is installed, but won’t run on startup. To enable (if you know what you’re doing), grep for “udev” in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and uncomment the line. It’s likely that this package can just be removed completely. I also disabled bdb in /etc/my.cnf, which is needed since it […]

Linode Wiki

Jan 3, 2005
by Christopher Aker
Hello, I’ve had a few requests about a user-managed Wiki for Linode, so here it is: https://www.linode.com/wiki/ The Linode Wiki is still in its infancy right now, but I’m hoping with your contributions it will become a good resource for Linode users and possibly take the place of the dated FAQ off the Support page.

by Christopher Aker
Recently I’ve received some legitimate complaints that tickets weren’t being updated in a timely manner. I’ve just pushed up some changes to the way tickets are handled on the back end. There are no customer-facing changes yet as I didn’t feel any were necessary, but if you have any suggestions I’m open to hearing them… […]

Nov 14, 2004
by Christopher Aker
I’ve deploy a new feature that enables you to retrieve a lost username or lost password. To reset a lost account password, you’ll need the username and any payment or invoice ID (which are located on the emails you receive each month or during signup). This will NOT work for accounts until they are activated… […]

CentOS WORLD-WRITABLE /etc/shadow file

Oct 4, 2004
by Christopher Aker
The CentOS images (both the old and the recently updated version) have a world-writable /etc/shadow file. This image was in fact built from scratch and was not online at any point. I can only account this towards a mis-configuration of some kind when I built the image. If you’ve deployed CentOS, please perform this as […]
