Hi All, I'm not that familiar with configure or make (more of a Java developer as a dayjob) but I was wondering what the process would be to add the flag -fobjc-gcc in the compilation of the R library for use in an Objective-C application. Can one simply drop this into the configure file somewhere? Thanks, Dave [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Anyone have any clues about how to sanitize a dead SSD? We haven't had it yet, but we're sure it's coming. Esp. since I'm a federal contractor, a dead disk gets deGaussed, but what the hell do you do with a SSD?

...ier to make when not cloning (such as different filesystem layout, software). I know, this is not the answer you want to hear, but it?s the one that works reliably, without investing too much while still being not 100% sure you caught everything. (Fun fact on the side, while doing admin stuff at $dayjob, I even didn?t automate VM creation as clicking through d-i those times I was installing some took less time in summary than creating auto? mation for it would?ve. I used xlax (like clusterssh, but for any X11 window) for starting installation, then d-i network-console + cssh for the remainder; a p...

...when unpredictable assignment of IP addresses of different classes of hosts inside the same VLAN lead to different hostkeys migrating back and forth to the same IP address, which I'm afraid occurs far too often with careless DHCP setups. > (Fun fact on the side, while doing admin stuff at $dayjob, I even > didn?t automate VM creation as clicking through d-i those times I > was installing some took less time in summary than creating auto? > mation for it would?ve.

...e flimsy boxes competing largely on price. Built in and supported from Silicon Valley, not China. :) iXsystems sells rebadged SuperMicro stuff, nothing special (not made in Silicon Valley). We bought an iXsystems TrueNAS (commercial version of FreeNAS + "supported" hardware) system at $DAYJOB about 2 years ago, with the dual-node "HA" setup, and it was not a pleasant experience. Over the first 6 months or so, our longest functioning uptime was about 10 days. NFS would run and then just stop serving (no errors or anything). Eventually, iX found and fixed a FreeBSD kernel NFS b...

Disclaimer: My $dayjob is with a government contractor, but I am speaking as private citizen. Talk to your organization's computer security people. They will have a standard procedure for getting rid of dead disks. We on the internet can't know what they are. I'm betting it involves some degree of paperw...

Hey all, $Dayjob currently uses MIT Kerberos. We also use Zimbra with Kerberos auth, but Zimbra's LDAP is only internal to itself. I see various things on the wiki that say "We need MIT Kerberos support cleaned up for a 4.0 release" https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/MIT_Build https://wiki.samba.or...

...e this request is, in my opinion, specific to PulseAudio and ALSA (in ALSA - because of the need to implement snd_pcm_rewind() for the rate plugin), I considered writing a new resampler from scratch with this feature. However, I will almost certainly not start within the next 3 months due to my dayjob and because of other TODO items, and David Henningsson has hinted me to talk to you as an upstream of speex, because, in his opinion, this "rewind" feature might be useful for other applications. Hence this email :) [1] http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/pulse-glitch-free.html [2] http...

Hi there, It might that this question was already answered but I can't really find any proper documentation for this. I am in a process of migrating about 70T of files from our Win2016 storage server to a Samba (2:4.17.9+dfsg-0+deb12u3) server. Whilst doing this I want to preserve all the ACL's which were set on Windows shares. Is there any related documentation around this topic how to

Hi again, thanks for all the replies to the all in one with ESXi, it was most illuminating. I will use this setup at my dayjob. Now for a slight variation on a theme: N40L with ESXi with raw drive passthrough, with OpenIndiana/napp-it NFS or iSCSI export of underlying devices. This particular setup is for a home VMWare lab, using spare hardware parts I have around. I''m trying to do something like http://forum...

At $dayjob we got to see the advantages of this up close and personal a few days ago when we had a hard failure in the voltage regulator/exciter loop of one of our three primary generators during a utility power failure. First failure of this kind since that datacenter was placed online in 2008, and only...

If I had to do it at larger scale I would have scripted it. I didn?t so it turned out to be cheaper, work-time-wise, to do part of the steps by hand the few times I needed to do it. I don?t...

Hi: I always use network-scripts to start network at EL7. NetworkManager is not as good as network scripts under that OS. but now EL8 said that network-scripts is depreciated. I wonder if I should still use network-scripts to start network? I am afraid there will be new bugs for the network-scripts, like systemd service unit dependency. although it is solid at EL7.

...ntil the year of the pandemic covered travel for those who needed it. Nobody is on the long-term payroll of the Samba Team, instead Samba is where is is thanks to the spare time of our committed volunteers and the work time of those who are supported by their employers to work in Samba for their $DAYJOB. What that does mean is that what gets fixed and does not get fixed is in large part comes down to what catches the interest of developers who some flexibility (in their job or their own time) or what paying customers need via support or development contracts. Now, to be clear we all work hard...

Hi list members, does any one of you have a best practice on renewing ssh host keys on cloned machines? I have a customer who never thought about that, while cloning all VMs from one template. Now all machines have the exact same host key. My approach would be to store a machines MAC address(es). Then when starting the sshd.service, check if this MAC has changed. If so, remove all host keys, let

Whether at home or work, everything is Linux-based, and OpenSSH is the primary form of remote access. I say these things to let you know that I appreciate your concerns, and although I've seen a variety of approaches, there is a surprising amount of commonality t...
