So, my manager, in zsh, can do the following: scp -i =(ssh -qnx <snip> cat /etc/ks/ks_dsa) localfile server:/whereitgoes Does anyone have any ideas what the syntax in bash is? I've been playing with this for hours. My manager says that zsh treats the cat'd key as a file, while if you try it with bash, replacing the = with <, it asks for the passphrase of what...

Something very scary just happened to me while I was creating a ksh script to rsync mulitple FS between two hosts. Here is the script, notice the 'i' at the end of rsync line, it got put there by mistake. You also see the contents of $FSLIST cat'd below the script. When I ran this, it started to delete files in root's home directory and place files from the fist FS, /banner, into root's home directory. The resolved rsync line in the first instance would have been... rsync -vaz -e "ssh" --delete --exclude-from=/u...

...Partion 1 contains a 'real system' and Partition 4 contains a 'rescue system'. I'm trying to setup extlinux so I can boot either partition, unfortunately it not working. I ran 'extlinux /mnt/boot' with both partition 1, and then partition 4 mounted to /mnt. I 'cat'd the mbr provided with syslinux to the device, and I copied the same kernel/initrd to the '/boot' dir of both partitions. I also copied extlinux.conf files, menu.c32 and chain.c32 to the '/boot' dir of both partitions. Partition 1 boots fine (so this kernel/initrd will wo...

I'm a little less new to samba now - but having a heck of a time getting authentication to work. I'm running NIS+, configured samba with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount. Does anyone have some good nis/samba references? I'm striking out. The smbpasswd file *does* have to become smbpasswd.org_dir for samba to work. I first created the smbpasswd fil...

...d/re-installed the O/S (FreeBSD 6.0-RC1, after same problem persisted with 5.3-RELEASE and 5.4-RELEASE on amd64 hardware), re-compiled/installed nss_ldap, pam_ldap, and openldap_2.2.27 from their respective source-code using the FreeBSD ports collection. Re-poplated the ldap tree using our slap-cat'd export/backup, and re-compiled a fresh copy of samba-3.0.20b into prefix of /usr/samba (to isolate it from the O/S lib/etc/share directories). After spending the weekend updating the smbd.conf file to match our shares and previous configuration, smbpasswd -w 'ing, and a 'net set...
