Lots of opinions out there and I have read and read, so I have a home server that I have finally setup with a hot swap hdd cage and what I am planning on doing is copying my data drive every other day and rotating them offsite, haven't figured out how often though. So I did my first test last night and the backup drive was formatted with ext3 but looking to try to speed things up and was

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I just did my daily news scan and saw some screenshots that illustrate the press release [0] announcing the first collisions at the LHC. Those screenshots show windows and buttons that exactly match my CentOS GNOME Desktop [1]. AFAIK, SuSE/Novell has different skins, as has (Open)Solaris and AIX, for instance. So, has there anybody more

I'm thinking about switching to CentOS 4.4 x86_64 from another RH based version. However, I need to install it from scratch and I need EVERYTHING (including /boot & /) on XFS file systems. Does the default installer allow this? If not, how difficult would it be to make the necessary changes. I've done a lot of Google searching and searching of the CentOS site, but haven't found

Hi! I'm justing in the process of setting up a new fileserver for our company. I'm installing CentOS 5.3 (64 bit) on it. One of the "problems" with it is that it has a 3.5TB filesystem for the user data which I formatted during setup as an ext3. Now my experience with our current fileserver is that a 0.5TB ext3 filesystem needs approx half an hour to complete (and kicks in

Someone posted how to use a memory card (USB or another kind) to save settings between boots of a Live CD/DVD. I believe it was posted not too long ago and I thought I had kept the email, but now that I'm looking for the information, I can not find it. I've done some searching and I either get way too many hits or way too few, none of which are what I'm looking for. Does anyone

I thought some people here might like to know what we just found out while trying to get VMWare running under CentOS 5. Before we found the note about changing VMWare from 2 to 1 CPU's, we went to `Edit' -> `Preferences' -> `Memory' and changed the memory option to: Fit All virtual memory into reserved host RAM It had been set to the next option down, second out of 3 (we

Is there a utility that compares files word by word, instead of whole lines or single bytes? I found that I can simulate this by replacing all the spaces in a file with linefeeds, then 'diff -B' the results, but that's kind of awkward and hard to read when differences that matter come up. (For the record, I tried using OOo's document comparer, converting to text and using diff,

I have just restructured my system (repartitioned the main disk to separate /home from /) and I am now getting this error when I try to log in as a non-root user: Your session only hasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessoions to see if

I am the system administrator. I have a system that was built with a default install which resulted in everything in a single file system except for /boot wrote some scripts to split out: /home, /usr, /var, /opt, and /tmp to separate file systems/logical volumes it looks like it ought to work, There's plenty of space in all the filesystems and I can log via ssh and have write access in my

Hi, I just wonder if I can replace PIX firewall with machine having IPTable as my firewall. I want to control our firewall but due to the lack of knowledge in configuring PIX, i want to replace it with Linux or BSD. I do not have the time now to learn the complexity of PIX and yet I want to know what happening in my firewall and control it as much as possible. Do you think it is justifiable for

On a CentOS 5 server, I am having a hard time configuring BIND to answer to 4 IP addresses for 2 domain names.

I'm up for a cell phone contract renewal and am considering upgrading my handset. I looked at some devices at my local AT&T store but nothing really jumped out at me. I'm particularly interested in a cell phone that has a reliable ssh client, with ssh-agent and public key authentication abilities. Those of you who administer systems remotely, what mobile ssh client do you recommend?

I have a server that is undergoing some patching soon and would like to make note of any files that have changed after the patching is complete. Can you recommend a tool that uses md5sum snapshots to do a quick before and after test, showing anything that's changed on a particular file system?

Hi List, I have a dumb sendmail question, and I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction (besides "sendmail list is two doors down on the left" ;-). One of our clients has a bunch of servers -- CentOS 5 -- that are on only a private network that's NATted to the outside world -- that is, those servers can initiate outbound connections fine, but don't
