I don't know the price - I've only been here a few weeks. I'll have to check when I'm back at work for details on it - don't have my VPN login yet.

Hey folks, I've got a CentOS / RHEL (5.x) environment and am in the process of migrating the 5.3 file server over to an Oracle/Sun 7120 appliance. I want to keep my main 5.3 server as our NIS server but am moving NFS and Samba functions over to the appliance. NFS was a no brainer as one can imagine. Samba seems a bit trickier because of the authentication requirements in the ZFS server.

Hey folks, I'm trying to use a 5.3 box to run some JNLP apps, but all I get is a view of XML. I try doing some googling and don't come up with much other than this one thread that says I may need both 32 and 64 bit Java to run JNLP. But it is not clear to me how to do that. thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV? ? ? ? ?? - Michael Pollan,

Anyway, I have a ZFS storage unit

Hi folks, I searched the list for LibreSSL and found only one mention of it! Has anyone gotten this working? I have it compiling no problem, but removing OpenSSL is another story of course. It seems to be compiled with FIPS support and of course there is no such thing in LibreSSL - that is something they tore out thanks, -Alan -- "Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised

Hey guys and gals, Anyone know of a half decent tool like DNSstuff.com only free? I need to run some diag on a few domains but it is basically a 1 shot deal and hard to justify buying. thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV? ? ? ? ?? - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Hey folks, We've got some new hardware and are trying to figure out what best to do with it. Either run CentOS right on the bare metal, or virtualize, or several combination options. Mainly looking at : - CentOS on bare metal - CentOS on ESXi 4.0 with local disk - CentOS on ESXi with 1 VM running Openfiler to serve disk to other VMs And want to benchmark these 3 scenarios So far all we

If so, could I ask you a few questions? I am in contact with their tech support as well but I think someone here could be more helpful if they are using it. My questions are technically OT for this list since it pertains to moving from RHEL 5.7 to Ubuntu 11.11 Though it is really about Python / Apache config. -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV? - Michael

Hey folks, I created a DomU, installed Linux, and then realized I''d only given it 1 NIC so brought it down to edit the cfg file to give it another NIC. Originally I just had : vif = [''''] And so I guess the defaults worked for the 1 NIC. So I changed it to : vif =

Hi folks, I''m having an issue with rsync between my firewall and an internal box. It seems to be a shorewall issue (or correctly speaking, an issue with my shorewall config) because if I disable shorewall my rsync works fine. And I just can''t find it documented anywhere what I need to do. I have rules like this : root@userver:/etc/shorewall# grep -i Rsync rules

Hey folks, Is there a Linux tool that will monitor a disk and tell me which directories are growing over time? I could cobble something together myself of course, but if there is already a good off-the-shelf solution, why bother? Even if it only checks once per day that would be fine. Graphs would be pretty too :-) cheers, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on

Hey folks, Once upon a time I saw some sed magic to take the output of "rpm -qa" and strip away all the version info to give just the RPM base names. And of course I forgot to note it :-/ And have not been able to replicate it myself. e.g. from this : avahi-0.6.16-1.el5 avahi-glib-0.6.16-1.el5 produce this : avahi avahi-glib thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've

Hey again folks, How can I save answers to questions in %pre, for use in %post? I'm assuming (though have not yet tried) that variables won't live that long. Could I save them off to /tmp in a file, and retrieve them? e.g. %pre echo "VARNAME=$VARNAME" >> /tmp/varfile %post grep ^VARNAME= /tmp/varile Or some such ... -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen

Hey folks, I have a Sun J4400 SAS1 disk array with 24 x 1T drives in it connected to a Sunfire x2250 running 5.8 ( 64 bit ) I used 'arcconf' to create a big RAID60 out of (see below). But then I mount it and it is way too small This should be about 20TB : [root at solexa1 StorMan]# df -h /dev/sdb1 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 186G 60M

Hey folks, I am sure there must be an easy way to do this. I am currently running 5.3 and "yum info db4" tells me that they have version 4.3.29. Is that telling me that this is the version in 5.3? Or that this is the latest version in the 5.x stream? If the former, then how do I find out what release of the db4 software (sleepcat berkeley db) is in 5.7? I don't want to

Hey folks, It looks to me like the httpd on CentOS is stuck at 2.2.2 - what's up with that? Even after a yum upgrade. I need 2.2.10 or greater, and would prefer to get it via yum or at very last an RPM if at all possible. But I cannot even find an RPM out there. For some reason both EPEL and Dag Wieers do not even seem to have an httpd RPM for RHEL5 Any idea where to look? Why are we

Hey folks, Is there any way to fake a "yum update" just to get yum to force a download of all the files it needs, without actually installing them. I finally have a RPM cache/proxy working and I just want to populate it. The server I want to actually update cannot be updated until tomorrow but I'd like to do a fake update just to force the RPMs into my cache so they will all be

I don't think this is off topic since I want to use JBOD mode so that Linux can do the RAID. I'm going to hopefully run this in CentOS 5 and Ubuntu 12.04 on a Sunfire x2250 Hard to get answers I can trust out of vendors :-) I have a Sun RAID card which I am pretty sure is LSI OEM. It is a 3G/s SAS1 with 2 external connectors like the one on the right here :

Hey folks, I turned on process accounting and had a peek at the man page for dump-acct but I am still left wondering how best to make use of this info. We want to be able to produce some monthly stats on which labs are using how much of our clusters. I know our clustering software has the ability to do this but unfortuantely not everyone uses the cluster commands as much as I keep reminding
