I have a 10 blade cluster of just hardware - I can install what I want, how I want. ? What options are there if I wanted to build the 10 blades as one large beast, but _NOT_ necessarily for someone doing grid-type work? ? ?Some users don't now how to program that way, but they'd like to have their program run on something that acts like a single processor, but a massive single processor

I have CentOS 5 installed on a few Dell PE2950 systems. ? ?The SMART daemon claims the drives included with the server do not support SMART, which rather surprised me. What, then, are my options for monitoring the health of the server hard drives? ?It would be nice to have some service running I could email to myself on the status of each drive. Thanks. Scott

Many people have wondered what my rsync syntax was - [as root]: rsync -av /path/to/source me at remote-host:/path/to/dest I'll be adjusting it to adapt to perform incrementals, probably with --update. So, just need to learn why some of the .dotfiles, and other unknown files (unless I ran a diff) didn't successfully copy over. Thanks.

Anyone have experience playing back a Webex wrf file on their CentOS 5.x system? I have a newly installed CentOS 5.4 i386 system and want to play such a file, but the Webex.com web site says it only supports Windows and MacOS for playback. Any other options next to creating a VM of Windows (I'm not buying a Mac for this). Thanks. Scott

I have a CentOS 5.5 system that is dual-boot CentOS 5.5 and Windows XP w/SP3 formatted with NTFS (for the Windows partition, of course). I have installed fuse (ntfs-3g) to allow read/write access to the NTFS partition from CentOS. No regular user has sudo. What is the best way to limit the access a user logging into the CentOS from mangling or changing data in unwanted areas of the

I've built some CentOS 5.5 64-bit systems straight off the DVD, full installs, and the Gnome screen lock (manually invoked or automatically via the gnome-screensaver) does not allow the user to unlock the screen. The only fix appears to be ctrl-alt-F<1 - 5> then have the user log into the tty session, type pkill -f gnome-screensaver, log out, then ctrl-alt-f7 to return to X. These

You have a CentOS (for example) workstation that is a member of a Windows AD domain courtesy of modified smb.conf and krb5.conf files. There are, thus, no local user accounts on the linux workstation. There is a network application that benefits most (maybe even requires) the user's numerical portion of their employee ID as their linux workstation id. Thus, if I log in, my domain username

I've been trying to follow samba, centos, ldap, and other documentation to try and get a CentOS 5 box to permit a user to log into an existing Windows 200x Active Directory domain without necessarily having the box as part of the domain. If it has to be part of the domain, that is fine. The user shall have no local account on the box - I want their active directory account to

I have a Windows 200x AD Server and have a Linux box as a client connected to the Windows domain having modified the native Kerberos, smb.conf, and other files (not using Likewise). It logs in to the domain fine and everything is happy. There are NO local accounts in /etc/passwd except for the defaults out of the box. Authentication relies on the accounts of the Windows server. I have no

I have some CentOS 5 systems that are part of an Active Directory Windows 2003 domain (using natively configured files - not likewise open). getent passwd my_account reveals uid and gid are both 10000:10000. Thus, typing: % id reveals a uid of 10000. /etc/passwd does NOT have my local account created - credentials are strictly from the Active Directory domain. The username is of the format

Hello to all: I know this list is generally Linux-only, but I figured I'd try to gain wisdom from those with hard-core Windows needs, too. I was recently pricing out a high-end desktop system for a user who will doing a lot of CAD, Matlab, SolidWorks, and other apps that will utilize a lot of number crunching and video. The quote for the desktop (64-bit Vista is likely), which included 12

I have been tasked with having a Buffalo Terastation Pro 2 NAS box, likely to be connected to a Linux box via samba, be the storage device to back up mostly Ubuntu and Centos systems. ?The trick is, the machines to be backed up need to do so in an automated fashion and make a secure, encrypted connection to my Linux box hosting the NAS. The NAS does have SSL enabled for web admin access, though

There is a lot of talk about the vulnerable Linux kernel. I'm simply wondering the telltale signs if a given system has been hacked? What, specifically, does a person look for? Thanks. Scott

I recently updated two 64-bit CentOS 5.3 systems via yum update. - One system had two physical SATA hard drives - drive 0 was Windows XP w/SP3 w/NTFS, drive 1 was CentOS; - The other system had two physical SATA hard drives, configured via a hardware mirror of RAID 1 (mirroring) After the latest yum update, grub on both systems failed me, dropping to the grub prompt. For the dual-boot system,

Hello to all: What is the most recent status of MAPI support for Evolution connectivity to Exchange 2007 server for calendaring, etc? I've seen various blogs and email threads, but I wanted to tap this list's resources, too. Thanks. Scott

I was just curious what the fundamental differences were between the 4.x and 5.x branches? Thanks. Scott

I ran rsync on a combination of Ubuntu and CentOS systems and it doesn't seem to grab all files, such as .cshrc or .bashrc (and they do exist). This makes me wonder what other files rsync may be missing, and how do I tell rsync to grab those missing files? Thanks.

I have the following on a network: 1) RHEL 5.0 Server acting as NIS and Samba domain controller 2) CentOS 5.x machines on NIS network 3) Win XP machines on Samba domain When I create an account for someone, I need to first type adduser new_person -d /home/new_person then passwd new_person, then cd /var/yp and make. ? ?Then smbpasswd -a new_person. ? Thus, two different databases. On

I have modified the native config files both Ubuntu and CentOS systems (laptops) to allow them to be added to a genuine Windows Active Directory domain. When on the network logins work fine. ? Take the systems off the network, and the user, even though their credentials are cached, cannot log in. There are several documented bugs on this for both Ubuntu and RedHat. Some people have posted
