similar to: idea: "hybrid" iso images?

I'm curious why any user logged in at the console can issue the 'reboot' command and reboot the system.? I've tested/verified this to work, and read some older posts about this.? If it were a bug, I suspect it would be fixed by now. Also, if a user is logged into the console, and then logs in via ssh from another system, that user can also reboot the system from that ssh

I've been poking at this for quite a while, and have never been able to get it to work. I've found a couple links with some partial truths: ? http://syslint.com/syslint/how-to-make-a-usb-boot-disk-for-centosrhel-from-iso-file/ ? http://brakkee.org/site/2013/05/09/creating-a-usb-install-for-centos-6-4/ The first one talks about converting a standard iso to a 'hybrid' image, using:?

I'm running a piece of network backup software called 'bacula', on a minimal CentOS 6.4 install. I got everything working pretty well, but there's one piece giving me some problem-- a component which gives status info via a GUI. In the past, on previous installations, I could ssh to the bacula server with the -X option, and run the application (called 'bat'), and it would

Hello, I'm curiuos if anyone knows if it's possible to set up a Dell R515 (which has PERC H700) to be JBOD. It seems the only options are RAID0 or RAID1. I read posts, where people say it can by done by making each disk its own RAID0.? This works, but it wigs out when that disk is removed, and forgets a disk was ever there (unless I go back in the PERC and fix it). My plan is to have a

I have a simple requirement/test I'm trying to perform, but having difficulty. I have a system with 2 interfaces, BoxA: eth0? 172.26.50.102 eth1? 192.101.77.62 My goal is to have a tcp port built on BoxA such that hosts on the 192.101.77.0/24 network can reach a port on a different box on the 172.26.0.0/16 network. The target system is 172.26.10.120?? tcp/22 The port I wish to build is

Hello, ? I'm trying to configure my system such that I have a TCP port listening which will send all data it receives to a serial port. ie:?? tcp/2112? -->? /dev/ttyS0 My goal would be to be able to: Use netcat to create the listen and redirect to a serial port: ? $ nc -l 2112 > /dev/ttyS0 Then in another window, run minicom at /dev/ttyS0 Then in a 3rd window, ? $ telnet localhost

I have a system running CentOS 6.3, with a SCSI attached RAID: http://www.raidweb.com/index.php/2012-10-24-12-40-09/janus-ii-scsi/2012-10-24-12-40-59.html For disaster recovery purposes, I want to build up a spare system which could take the place of the server hosting the RAID above. But here's what I see: # fdisk -l /dev/sdc WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on

OS= CentOS 5.4, 64bit. I've always had great luck using dd to copy entire disks, and booting on other systems.? However, I'm having difficulty with a couple systems.? I boot using an install DVD so the OS disk is quiet, and dd to my target disk: # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024k /dev/sdb is the blank disk.? The disks are 2T.? After a few hours the operation is complete.? But when I

I have a requirement to allow our security officer to regularly view and analyze the logging and auditing results of one of the machines in our lab. He comes from the Microsoft Windows world and is not a *nix trained person. I know I can configure logwatch. I can also create a script containing various 'aureport' runs into a cron job. Any recommendations for a GUI-based tool that would

Hello! Sorry if this question is already asked, but I not finding answer for it... I have server with CentOS 6.4, later it will be router for home network.

Sorry for the messed up replies. ?The web based icloud interface forces the writer to reply at the top of the email and if you try to write at the bottom by deleting a few lines of the message or selecting the whole message, deleting it, adding some spaces and then pasting back and go to the end it and adding a reply, it kills the indentation. -wes

It keeps butting in when I try to install map software from Garmin under Wine. I'm not nearly competent not willing to apply the remedy it suggests. How do I get to someplace where I can disable it, or at least set it to permissive?

Hi, Just joinedthe mailing list. I am new to Centos, anybody got any tips. Derek

I've used ipmitool any number of times, but never for more than getting info, or setting the server name on a Dell LCD screen. However, I had a server screaming about intruder alert, intruder alert, er, "Chassis intrusion detected", and I thought there might be a way to shut it up (this after pulling the server and reseating the lid). A quick google found, on the first page, an 8

Hi, I'm probably doing something wrong or misunderstanding how this is supposed to work. I have written this ".iso" image to a DVD and booted from it. I then selected the first install option from the menu. I get some prompts and then I'm asked to specify where the media is. I assumed (there's that word) that I should just hit enter, thereby selecting the "from

When I use copy/paste text into a window running vi, if there is a single line starting with '#', in the pasted content, it adds a # to all subsequent lines and indents each an additional level. Is there some way to eliminate this bizarre behavior, preferably globally and permanently so I don't have to repeat some change for every machine/user where I might log in? -- Les

I was trying to use the 'at' command. Does it not have "resolution" to the second? When I run it with 'at -f /tmp/tt.sh "01/21/2013 15:20:45" syntax error. Last token seen: 15:20 Garbled time How do I run a command in the future including "seconds". Thanks, Jerry

Hello List Members. I was recently approached by Dell stating that I HAVE TO renew my Red Hat Subscriptions. I challenged this statement and was informed that this has always been the case and that all servers I have bought off of Dell over the years need to have current subscription! I've been searching the Red Hat website to find where this is stated but can't seem to locate this
