So I went to System > Administration > Server Settings > Samba and added a folder to share and initially set it to guest access to get things going. I couldn't access this one and only share on this server with guest access from either my Windows laptop (XP Pro SP3) or a Leopard server (10.5.8) so I changed the settings to use user authentication and added my local user details

...er VM, browsed the file system and delete /etc/shadow would this have wiped all users passwords meaning I could regain access again? (This is past tense because its sorted now but I'm curious if this would have worked? And if not, what could I have done?). -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...?

Shadies and Mentlemen; I am trying to be green and put our backup servers to sleep during the day and have them wake on LAN and fire back up at night for our nightly backups as "sleep" is a sort of low power usage mode. (At this point I would be curious to know the different levels of sleep, what can I achieve? Does my server just drop into a low power state, or can I stop the hard

Hey list, I have several crontabs set up to run at night and I'm not convinced they are running but of course, I'm not here to see for sure! The crontabs are like the following example; 30 20 * * * sh /home/a_user/nightlyscrips/nightly_script_1 > /home/a_user/nightlyscripts/`date +%d-%m-%Y--%H-%M-%S`.log However, if this would have successfully ran last night I would surely expect to

Hi All, I have a win2k3 server that its backing up to a CentOS 5.3 server. On the Win2k3 machine I plan to have rsync back up nightly to the CentOS server through ssh. The command I am using is as follows: rsync -vrPtz -e ssh myuser at myserver:/remote/backup/folder/ /local/backup/folder/ This all works great for the inital test except its prompts me for a password for "myuser" (as

Hey Guys, I can not find the corrent syntax for what I am trying to acheive with a while loop. Having said that I'm not exactly sure what you would call it so I have been googling with no success probably for that reason. I am just working with some sub directories except there is one I don't want to use so I have a while loop like the following; if we stubmle into the sub directory I

Hey Listees, I have a question (hopefully quite simple) about the system V init scripts in /etc/init.d. I have an app installed and for some reason it had no system V init script. It has been installed a long while now so I can't quite remember whats going on but basically I remember I wrote the init script my self and the app is enabled as a service which chkconfig to run at system levels 3,

...result=`do something` if [ $? -ne 0... .... fi echo $result As that won't output anything until the script has finished (the reason for the tee is that this script will be a scheduled cron tab but it may be run interactively sometimes also). Thanks for reading :) -- James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...?

Howdy all, Does anyone know of a niffty CLI tool for Linux that can take a PCAP file that was created on a SIP PBX for example, and then dump the payload of the various RTP streams in there into seperate files so I can listen to them? I can go this graphically with Wireshark, but I'd like to script it for automation. Cheers, James.

...am wondering if this could be a possible cause of these problems? Perhaps if that last tasks over runs a couple of times and it gets powered off in the middle of the tasks? (These are backup servers rsyncing from other servers) Does anyone here have problems with this? -- James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...?

Hey Listees, Just a quick question. I hope this isn't received incorrectly by everyone as I do mean the best for the CentOS project; I am wondering if it would be frowned upon to upload CentOS to my RapidShare account. I understand I can freely distribute CentOS but to what extent? In its simplest form I only really want to upload CentOS 5.2 to my RapidShare account for speed. I had to

Hi All, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot issues with TDM (E1) trunks with a provider. Currently with SIP trunks I am using tcpdump to perform packet captures between our gateways and the SIP providers IPs, capturing traffic on all ports, to include both the SIP messages and the RTP stream. How can I achieve a similar result on TDM links connected to TDM cards in Asterisk servers, where by

I am trying to build up a filtered search using the logic below. bq = Ferret::Search::BooleanQuery.new bq.add_query(Ferret::Search::TermQuery.new(Ferret::Index::Term.new("section",section.downcase!)), Ferret::Search::BooleanClause::Occur::MUST) filter = Ferret::Search::QueryFilter.new(bq) @vobjects = VoObject.find_by_contents(search_input,:filter => filter, :sort

Hey Listee's I have a CentOS server with 2GB of ram and a swap drive of 4GB; swapon -a shows my swap drive as 4GB with only about 350 bytes in use (which is fine as my server idles with about 350-400MB ram usage so no swap should be in use. However my one and only swap drive had a priority of -1. I had read that the swap drive priority doesn't matter too much because I only have one swap

Hey List; I have no experience with software RAIDs; at work we only use hardware RAIDs and I'm looking to implement, probably a RAID 5 set up at home for a media server however I have a few questions; I have three 1TB drives in various places; one is inside a USB caddy, one is inside my PC and in is inside my existing media centre. Is it possible to add these three drives to another one to

...or a moment I am just focussing on the NIC card its self at the minute). So how do people calculate how many servers or NIC cards per server they will need to handle this many connections? (Ok, 31k is a lot but even 100 or 1000, how do people calculate this?) -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/
