Thanks to all of you who are answering my dumb questions about my new CentOS instgallation. I modified /etc/hosts, as the hostname man page seemed to suggest, and rebooted. The hostname is still localhost. I want to change it to jjb-centos. I also want to change the domain name to abilitiessoft.com Thanks, John -- John J.

Is there a web-interface to dovecot under CentOS-6? I want to create a top-level folder (ie at the same level as Inbox) but this doesn't seem to be possible from KMail running on a remote Fedora-6 laptop. I was browsing through the dovecot wiki, and I saw some pictures which seemed to be from a dovecot GUI, but I could not find the name of this program. Alternatively, can I simply create

I am looking for a beginner guide to shell scripting simple tasks on CentOS (e.g. ssh'ing into a server / router / switch, checking for certain things, then exiting and going to the next IP). Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look? (I'm relatively new to bash) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I was previously using an EC2 AMI where i was logging as root, and i could bootstrap nodes. I am now using Amazon AMIs ( http://aws.amazon.com/fr/amazon-linux-ami ) and they require login as ec2-user. The problem is that if i run puppet node bootstrap --login ec2-user, it will detect it and run my install script as with sudo, which is fine, but sudo will not run it because it is configured by

I'm trying to configure samba 3.0.3 from FC2 with an LDAP backend as a domain controller. I'm using smbldap-tools from idealx.org. From what I've read, I need to configure the domain SID in /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf. But in order to generate the SID, I need to be running samba on the domain controller already. I'm trying to generate all of the config files on another

I am trying to expose a custom fact that requires a certain gem to be installed. However, the facts are being loaded before the module is loaded (and I see why this is the case sine the fact should be made available to the module). So my question is, is there a way to avoid this chicken and egg problem? I tried putting the module in a stage before main, but it still looks like the facts

Hi while usings DavidS mysql module with its custom mysql types I hit some kind of a chicken/egg problem: While deploying mysql, I also like to define some mysql munin user, to enable munin monitoring for mysql things. I choosed to use the mysql_user type from DavidS and it works perfectly. However I start using the custom types on a host where mysql have already been installed. Now I should

I just launched my first ROR app and i need to implement the session database cleanup. I am new to cronjobs. I have used one once but it was all copy/paste. I was hoping someone knew of a good tutorial or resource to get started here or might be able to give me a little help. I have seen a lot of posts that reference setting a cron job to clear old sessions but I am not clear on: Can you

I have a cron job that calls a shell script - the script invokes dump. I'd like to do two things: - Have the script dump the results of the job to a text file. I tried this with /path/to/dump my switches -v >> /home/me/dump.log But that just produced an empty file. - Have the dump file be date-stamped with the date it was executed. Right now, I manually edit the script to change
