CentOS 4.7, Kerberos 1.3.4 Hi All: This is driving bonkers. A couple of weeks ago I started working on implementing Kerberos. I got as far as getting the primary/master KDC running on our CentOS development system before I got dragged off to work on something a little more pressing. I finally got back to it this week only to find that the krb5kdc service now fails to start. A check of the log

Hi All: Over the weekend I install all the outstanding updates for our CentOS 4 based server. Since I had been holding off on these until I had addressed some disk space issues there were a large number (300+). I know my bad! After installing the updates I rebooted the system and it took forever to boot and once up there were problems connecting to some of our SAMBA shares. I checked the messages

Hi All: I am new to rsync so be gentle with me. I have been able to get rsync working enough to be able to list modules but not transfer files. When I try to transfer a file from the client to the server I use the command: rsync -avz fapmenu fisdev::bak The client displays the following messages: @ERROR: access denied to bak from pgiprd.forsoft.com (192.168.2.19) rsync:

Hi All: It appears that the RPMforge.net site is down. Can someone confirm and possibly advise when it might be expected back? TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

Hi All: I am looking for some possible recommendations on the handling of our internal DNS services. First some background... Until recently our entire network was located within a single facility with internal DNS services provided by our CentOS 4.7 (using BIND). While I had problems with DHCP/DNS communications it was basically working. At the beginning of the month we moved the production

CentOS 4.8, BIND 9.2.4 Hi All: I have a rather annoying problem with rndc which I have not been able to resolve despite much searching and many attempts to correct. When making changes to our DNS entries I have tried to use the following procedures: 1. Flush the cache buffers: rndc flush 2. Stop named: rndc stop 3. Delete the journal files: rm *.jnl 4. Edit the forward and/or

CentOS 6 Hi All: Over the weekend I had to reboot one of my systems and got hit with fsck runs on all of the filesystems. I would not mind so much except doing them all at once took over an hour. I would like to be able to stagger these, ideally only execute one fsck per reboot. I have been able to think of two possible solutions but neither is terrific. My first idea was to manually run fsck

CentOS 6.5 Hi All: We are looking for a way to automate the handling of bounced emails. I have spend some time looking an scan find one open source package, bounceHammer, and one commercial package, BoogieTools. Does any comments on the effectiveness of either package? Any suggestions on other packages? TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

I am trying to avoid running them at the same time in an effort to avoid 70 minute boot times (which is

Hi All: We have been looking at implementing deduplication on a backup server. >From what I have been able to find the available documentation is pretty thin. I ended up trying to install LessFS on this CentOS 5.7 box but we have now encountered problems with fuse version. Has anyone out there been able to get LessFS running on CentOS 5.7 and can provide some pointers? If not LessFS can you

CentOS 4.8 Hi All: We recently had a Sony SDX-500V tape drive fail on one of our servers running CentOS 4.8. I have now replaced it with a spare SDX-500C. The problem that I am having now is that the failed drive had ceased responding to SCSI commands and we have since rebooted the system which resulted in the tape drive being removed from our current hardware configuration and the system does

Hi All: I have an HP DL380G5 server which I am loading CentOS 6.2 on and it does not appear to recognize all of the RAM installed on the server.

CentOS 4.6 Hi All: Is it possible to force sendmail to use a specified host name for outbound email to a selected domain name instead of the host name that can be found by looking up the DNS entry? The problem is that we have a client that uses the same ISP as we do and the IP addresses assigned to both of us are very close. This has resulted in connection problems specifically with our

Hi, folks, Since I've gotten a total of one response in days on the HP forum, maybe the collective mind here has an answer.... As I've mentioned in other posts, we have an HP dl580 g5 that started throwing ECC errors. But wait, it's worse: memory is mirrored.... And the thing is fully populated with 32 DIMMs. I took my best guess, pulled the matching set of DIMMs, and took two

Hi, I am looking for an offline accounting package recommendation, please. I enjoyed using Xero accounting, but need something that's offline, and where the data remains my property. Having used Quickbooks on Windows in the past, I am looking for something similar. Any recommendations? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers Website: http://www.rudiahlers.co.za
