Trying to rsync a rather large file from a windows server to a centos server and all but this is working fine. As it's a 20 gig file I am trying to send the diff of with a -c, I suspect over the low bandwidth this presents an issue. I also stage this file locally on another centos server and could calc the diff and create a patch and send that, comparing checksums etc... A quick look at

I have been searching the net for directions on rhel and centos 5(1) to log in to a windows domain and have found many examples, all different and none work for me.

Hi This looks like a bug in ActiveRecord. I am messing with eager loading (on 12.1) and all of a sudden records started disappearing from a table (and I am not doing anything delete related)!! The following line works OK:- @todos = Todo.find(:all, :include => [ :whens],:order => "position ASC") The following line is mysteriously deleteing :where rows from the DB after

For ages I have been keeping docs and notes in Public Folders inside an Exchange server and want to move this out to a more modern facility that allows tagging and searching via a web interface for keywords so I can keep all my notes more organized. Anyone have any personal recos for the slickest system to do this with. Given the nature of my home setup, its routinely used to lab stuff up so I

I need to do some testing with 5.3 as its suggested that 5.4 has "some bugs in the toolchain and libc". That being the case, I can install with a url and repo line pointing to a mirror with 5.3 still but how does one properly make sure during subsequent uses of yum it doesn't attempt to use 5.4 rpms? Is it simple enough to just manually set '$releasever' to 5.3 in the repo

We are moving all our (limited and badly organized) documentation to a wiki. Anyone got any examples/pointers to a hierarchy that made logical sense? We are hoping to move everything from topology to application specific notes in to the wiki. Given the size of this task, I only want to do this once:) Thanks for any reco's! jlc

I have a user w/o a shell that runs an app as a daemon that needs to use mutt to email an attachment from a script. During testing when the app was ran as root everything worked:) Now that we obviously are running as a user w/o a shell this little bit broke. I used mutt as I needed to send the attachment as mime, and the ability to specify a muttrc from the cli when executed was useful so we

Anyone got any experience/suggestions for a way to store a directory of sensitive information on a CentOS box? This directory contains many scripts and output files, I need it backed up but not unencrypted and don't want to store it in a tar file type archive as when it needs to be accessed and have scripts executed/data generated, it needs to be untarred/unencrypted and I don't know the

How can I do this w/o restarting services or rebooting? Thanks! jlc

I am trying to deduce the one liner for an rpm I am packaging to edit a php configuration file from within my spec. The line I am editing looks like: $conf['nagios_base'] = "/nagios/cgi-bin"; What are the escape requirements Perl needs from within the shell to search for this? As I have seen, the syntax is a mess, any pointers would be appreciated! thanks, jlc
