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 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

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 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

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 tried to update my Centos with yum update as I have done in the past, but this time I received a list of dependencies. This is a new experience for me and I would appreciate any help/suggestions. Here is one of the lines: Error: Missing Dependency: php = 4.3.9-3.15 is needed by package php-mysql Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

I haven't run any updates on my systems recently, but now I'm trying to get them up to date again. When I run a yum update, I get this error: Error: Missing Dependency: initscripts >= 7.93.26.EL-1 is needed by package httpd I did a Google search, but I didn't find anything relating directly to CentOS or RHEL and there was no fix suggested. If it makes a difference, I am running

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Hey everyone, This is the first time I've ever used a mailing-list so bear with me :-) I've just got a new dedicated server from Hostik and they've installed CentOS 5.2 on the system (awesome!) and came pre-installed with PHP, MySQL, and Apache (among other things). I noticed that PHP version is 5.1.6, the MYSQL is 5.0.45, and Apache is 2.2.3 I ran yum to update, thinking it would
