I'm not sure why this started, but apparently I'm having a DNS problem. Yesterday mail started bouncing with this error: 450 Unable to find obrien-pifer.com I think the messages eventually get delivered, but not sure. I guess I'll see if this one makes the list. I checked my domain using http://www.checkdns.net/ and it gives me a couple warnings. One is that there's no MX

Hello all, I'm trying to authenticate shell login's against an MS-ADS. I don't have admin access to the ADS, but I can talk to the admins. I have gotten as far as getting authentication working, but the uid's depend on the order of login. ie: the first guy to login gets 10000, the next gets 10001, etc. The problem I have with this is that I want to share the home

This may be off topic, but I think my ethereal question might be simple enough. I am presently compiling ethereal on a CentOS platform to check it out. But the packets I want to monitor are actually on a different CentOS platform, and I'd rather not install Ethereal on it, if for no other reason I don't have X-Windows installed on that platform. My question is, can I monitor/write

I apologize if this has been asked and answered, but I googled and attempted things for several hours today without success. I have a freshly installed CentOS 7 system that I'd like to disable the firewall and all iptables rules. Basically the equivalent of doing iptables -F In a nutshell I've tried the following commands, in many different ways and orders, but when the system

Hi. I have some new 64bit Windows 2008 R2 domU''s running on SLES11/xen_3.4.2. What is everyone using to get 1gb network performance on win2k8? I''ve used GPLPV on win2k3, but I see you have to sign the drivers yourself for 64bit. Maybe that process isn''t difficult, I only glance at the link from gplpv''s page. What is everyone using? GPLPV is about the only

I need to enable some access to the httpd logs over ftp so they can be analyzed by another application to get a report. I used to do this on Windows NT before replacing the server with CentOS. Thanks to help from another thread I have an ftp server enabled on the web server. I thought the easiest thing to do would be to create an id for the application to connect with, then provide a symlink to

Hi all. Obviously there''s been a lot of talk lately about frontends or management consoles for xen. All, or most, seem to be for XCP or XenServer. Is there anything for a group of standalone servers sharing storage? In my case it''s SLES11 with xen 3.4.1. I would love to have a frontend for seeing status, starting, and stopping domains. Provisioning new domains would be an

I had an issue late yesterday where some windows domU''s were down. The person who "owns" those domUs let windows updates install and then restart, which they failed to restart. When I tried to manually restart them I was getting can''t allocate memory errors. In the past I''ve had can''t allocate memory errors when trying to bring up a new domU.

I have xen 3.04 running on SLES10SP1. It''s working great, but I''m wondering if I have some memory issues with dom0. I have 7 domU''s, 1 is win2k, the other 6 are win2k3. I''ve had a lot of machines up and down with a reboot of dom0 in quite a while. I''m wondering if dom0 has not given up memory during the process. I added 5 win2k3 domU''s today.

Sorry for the off topic, but don't a better resource. I'm not great at scripting, but need a quick script to modify a file. I have a long file that has lines like this: some text some text2 CN=DATA.OU=XYZ.O=CO some text3 some text4 And this repeats, but XYZ changes. "DATA" is always called data. (it's being renamed basically) I need to change the middle line but leave

I have one box, a 3.x box, that has a problem finding procmailrc files. For instance, if I have a .procmailrc file in /var/www/user/homes/username it finds it and it works. If I have a .procmailrc file under /var/www/user it doesn't. Where the heck is the setting for where procmail looks for user procmailrc files? Thanks, John Hinton

Centos 5 Hello I successfully converted my mta from sendmail to postfix. no problem. mail is ok. A by-product of that, as bizarre as it may seem is this: As regular user, when I do 'su -' to become root, all is well.

Is there an easy way to specify the proper device location for the kickstart configuration file if it is on a USB flash or USB floppy drive? Depending on the hard disk configuration they might by /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. On SuSE'autoyast instalattions, the system searches all available devices for an ``info'' configuration file. Does CentOS 5.x do something similar to find a

Looking for help kind of in a hurry. I've been searching google but not finding any options. Is there any way to fix missing /dev paths to luns without rebooting? For example, see the output from lsscsi below. The only way I know to fix this is with a reboot, but I REALLY Need to avoid that if possible.

Using a kickstart file that stops with a curses dialog "You have multiple network devices on this system. Which one do you want to install through?" The machine being configured with PXEboot has two ethernet interfaces. What's missing from the network entries below? I'd like this install to proceed without asking which ethernet interface. PXE begins the install with DHCP, so

I finally have a xen server to play with stuff that''s causing me problems on my production servers. One of those problems is simply installing Windows 2003.

When it gets to the formatting I tell it to format in NTFS.
