Trouble creating DomU with 2 NICs
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 =

JNLP app problems
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

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.

Anyone have LibreSSL working on CentOS 6.5?
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,

Not sure whether ZFS now makes this OT - if so, sorry for not putting "OT:"
in the subject.

OT: good free DNS tools?
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,

converting a RHEL box to CentOS
Hey folks,
Google found nothing in this list archives for me but did find this :
http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-jul-convert-rhel-5-to-centos-5/
Before I just go try that on one of my systems can someone confirm
that it works?
I'm running RHEL 5.7 so I guess I'd replace the 5.4 in the URL with 5.7
Basically I let my RHEL licenses run out (never really used them) and
am getting warnings

recommend benchmarking SW
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

checking package versions in various releases
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

OT: anyone out there with Oracle ZFS appliance?
I'll ask more specific questions if so :-)
Need to pull some usage data via a script and Oracle suppport says it
can't be done.
I have trouble believing that.

Rsync rules for Shorewall
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

monitoring space in directories
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,

debugging RAM issues
Hey folks,
I have 1 system ( Sunfire x2250 running 5.7 ) that is having issues with
RAM, but I'm not sure how to debug it. And unfortunately it is not under
support anymore.
I started the job about 4 months ago and when I came aboard the guy who
handed stuff over to me told me this issue was on his list of things he was
unable to get to yet. He told me he'd seen errors in the past in

lm-sensors on Sun hardware
Hey guys and gals,
Anyone have any experience with getting lm-sensors to run on Sun hardware?
In particular Sunfire x2250 and x4170
I was running 5.3 on these boxes and sensors-detect would not find
anything. I did a bit of research and as I recall thanks to this list
discovered some bugs that were affecting me, so upgraded to 5.7. CPU temp
sensors were then detected, but no fan sensors. At

sed (or other) magic to get RPM base names ?
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

more kickstart - saving %pre decisions for %post
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 ...

CentOS fileserver migrating to ZFS appliance
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.

biggest disk partition on 5.8?
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 :

Need httpd / apache RPM > 2.2.3 for 5.3
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?
