iptables --line -vnL

Add swap partition

# mkswap /dev/sde1
# swapon /dev/sde1
Cat # /etc/ fstab
/dev/sde1 swap swap defaults 0 0

Add swap file

# dd if =/dev/ zero of =/root /swapfile bs=1M count=1024
1024 + 0 records in
1024 + 0 records out

# chmod 600 / root / swapfile

# mkswap / root / myswapfile
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1073737 kB

# swapon / root / myswapfile

To add multicast route in linux

ip route add 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth0

How to install packages using CD in linux.

   
Mount the install DVD:
mkdir -p /mnt/RHEL
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/RHEL
Or if you just have the ISO, you can use that instead:
mkdir -p /mnt/RHEL
mount -o loop /path/to/RHEL.iso /mnt/RHEL
Now make a Yum repository which uses the DVD as a repository:
/etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-dvd.repo
[rhel-dvd]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - DVD
baseurl=file:///mnt/RHEL/Server/enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
You should now be able to clean the yum cache, and install the 32-bit C library:
yum clean all
yum install glibc.i686
You'll see plenty of similar guides telling you to install and run the createrepo command but you don't need to do that. The RHEL disc already is a repository, it already has the /repodata/repomd.xml file which defines a repository.
However, if you take the RPM files on the RHEL disc and copy them somewhere else and start adding your own packages then you need createrepo to build the metadata for the new repository you have created.

X Forwarding with Putty on Windows

Image
Courtesy  http://www.math.umn.edu/systems_guide/putty_xwin32.html Intro to X Forwarding Unix machines have been able to run software on a remote machine and display the GUI locally for almost two decades. Linux and Mac OS X support X Forwarding with no extra software. Any terminal on Linux should do X Forwarding, Mac users need to run " Applications > Utilities > XTerm ". In a command line terminal run " ssh -Y jdoe@compute.example.edu matlab " and you'll be running matlab on " compute.example.edu " but seeing it on your desktop. Windows users need two pieces of software: an secure shell program (ssh) to establish the remote connection and an X Server to handle the local display. Prerequisites Putty  for SSH Xming  for the XServer Configuring Putty Add Unix hostname Switch Protocol to SSH Type name of session in saved sessions Click 'Save' Expand the 'SSH' tab from the 'Category' list Choose 'X1...
