Locate Database problem in Linux

A problem I encountered after installing Fedora 14 and trying to use the locate function. Solved the problem by running updatedb.

Basic Nmap usage

Nmap is a port scanner that can be run to scan hosts and return information about them. The information returned is but not limited to if the hosts are up, Services running on them, the versions of the services and Operating System running on the host.

In the example below we shall:
1. Scan the Network to show which hosts are up.
2. Scan an individual host to determine Ports open and OS.
3. Scan the host and return Additional information.
4. Save the Output of the nmap scan.
5. View the Information Saved.
6. Scan a router and return open ports and OS

Safaricom Modem Installation on Fedora 13

A bash script I wrote to use a Safaricom modem in linux. There are two shell scripts that you need safcominstaller.sh and safcom.sh. safcominstaller.sh allows for you to install all the needed files to get your modem connected to your system and safcom.sh allows you to use the modem to access the Safaricom network.

safcominstaller.sh

#! /bin/bash

sudo yum install wvdial
sudo yum install ppp
sudo yum install pyserial python-twisted pytz redhat-lsb


wget https://forge.betavine.net/frs/download.php/439/usb_modeswitch-0.9.7-1.fc10.src.rpm

wget https://forge.betavine.net/frs/download.php/441/vodafone-mobile-connect-2.20.01-1.noarch.rpm

sudo rpm -i usb_modeswitch-0.9.7-1.fc10.src.rpm

sudo rpm -i vodafone-mobile-connect-2.20.01-1.noarch.rpm

safcom.sh

#! /bin/bash
