Before reading below: I am considering a new install rather than an upgrade of our servers. However, now I just want to beat this problem. :) At 02:19 PM 7/8/2003 +0000, Phil Pennock wrote: >On 2003-07-08 at 14:09 +0000, Phil Pennock wrote: > > There was a fairly major update to the IDE disk device handlers which > > required new device nodes.

Hi there. OS version: FreeBSD 4.7-Stable FreeBSD #3 I just added a disk to my box and after playing with fdisk and disklabel with this configuration: fdisk: **************************************************************** g c16383 h16 s63 p 1 165 0 39102336 **************************************************************** disklabel

I encountered something a little strange today. Previously I had enabled samba logging and forgot to disable it. Unsurprisingly my /var partition maxed out. To correct this, I disabled the logging and deleted the (approx 240 MB) samba log file. Strangely I still had a full /var partition. Running df gave me: SRV04# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1a

I am trying to use rsync along with find to quickly copy changes to mirrors for some web sites. The basic idea is: 1 look for files newer than X >> export-file 2 rsync --include-from=export-file remote-server:/remote-path Simple enough. Unfortunately, I can't get this to work. Step 1 works well enough. However, when I use rsync it appears that rsync is excluding the files I added

Hi All, I'm about to clean and re-initialize a Maxtor 160GB disk that shows a weird problem but I think I've found a bug in RELENG_4_7 somewhere so if preserving my disk can help conquer one more bug I'm happy to wait a couple of days and help solve that bug. Here's the story: While upgrading from 4.3-STABLE to 4.7p4 and at the same time reorganizing my vinum volumes I copied

I am relatively new to iproute2. Any information on the topic below would save me considerable time. I appreciate any help, thanks. We want to plug two lines into a webserver to increase the bandwidth available to the hosted sites. Rather than use round-robin DNS we would prefer to use iproute2 to use equal cost routing across the two lines. However, I am still not sure how well that will

Hi, I'm having trouble rationalizing the behaviour described below. Is this a security-issue (bug) or a feature? - An unprivileged user 'bztest' with read-only access to /dev/ar0: %id uid=1004(bztest) gid=1004(test) groups=1004(test), 5(operator) %ls -l /dev/ar0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 21 Nov 23 17:34 /dev/ar0 - Now, the device ar0 has the standard mbr installed: %cmp

Hello all, I've been able to successfully set up a small network, using Samba as a PDC. I'm currently using the latest updated version of Fedora 7, and the latest version of Samba. I'm really new to DNS and WINS, so please excuse my ignorance if I've completely overlooked something. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction... My Samba server is set up as a domain

Question... I do alot of stable upgrades and as a result I spend alot of time with mergemaster. My changes in etc are minimal, so I rather wipe out my existing /etc (except for machine specific files like fstab, and so on) and have mergemaster install everything from /usr/src/etc. This way I don't have to spend time going through all the diffs. I have found that there is no quick and

Hello, This file server was upgraded from 6.2-RELEASE-p$something to 6.3-RELEASE-p3 (current RELENG_6_3 sources via csup) on August, 11 and rebooted to the new kernel on August, 12. The school is closed due to holidays. The only load is mail delivery to Maildirs via NFS from another server (just 50 mailboxes or so, none of them very busy) and nightly backups. I went there on August, 13 to perform

Since upgrading from CentOS 4.3 to CentOS 5 the smbclient tar commands seem to be broken. The version on 4.3 was 3.0.10 I believe, while on 5 it is 3.0.23c-2. Here's what happens. Running the command: $ /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\host.domain.com\\backup -A /tmp/ntcredentials works fine. It connects no problem. But: $ /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\host.domain.com\\backup -A /tmp/ntcredentials -Tc

We have two samba boxes using ads security in a windows domain, and would like for members of the Domain Admins group to be able to create shares on the samba boxes using the Computer Management snap-in. When I attempt to do this I get access denied errors. Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about setting it up? Here is the relevant portion from smb.conf [global] workgroup =

Hi, give me some tips please, first of all, first screen: ============================================= *** The directory specified for the temporary root environment, /var/tmp/temproot, exists. This can be a security risk if untrusted users have access to the system. Use 'd' to delete the old /var/tmp/temproot and continue Use 't' to select a new temporary root

As others have noted, Tor's patch appears to be a total solution to the recent instability the PAE patch introduced. So, if you're experiencing panics with a recent kernel, or are in a position to stress a machine, please cvsup and give it a test!

Currently I have a 'master' STABLE box which nfs exports src and obj to all my STABLE 'clients' and a 'master' CURRENT box nfs exporting src and obj to my CURRENT 'clients'. Would it be possible to eliminate one of the 'master' boxes ? IE, could a STABLE box build and host CURRENT (via alternate src and obj) or could CURRENT box build and host STABLE (via
