Installing Portsentry on CentOS 4 using Webmin
Sep 21st, 2007 | Comments (1)
Here is a quick tutorial on how to install Portsentry on CentOS using Webmin.
When I downloaded the latest Portsentry tarball I kept getting errors when I tried to "make linux" as the instructions stated to do. When it comes to linux stuff, I'm only as smart as the instructions I'm reading, so if I encounter errors, I instantly look for a new method to do what I'm doing. So I started searching for an Portsentry RPM.
I found an RPM at: ftp://ftp.falsehope.net/home/tengel/centos/4/te/i386/RPMS/portsentry-1.2-1.te.i386.rpm
If you have Webmin installed, you can go to System > Software Packages and enter the ftp URL in the "From ftp or http URL" field and click "Install." That's it. It's installed.
Then just go to System > Security Sentries, click on "Portsentry Configuration", and click the "Start Portsentry Daemons" button.
Your ports are now protected!
