Hi. I have for a while been trying to get my samba 2.2.1a PDC to be a NIS master and still maintain the password sync feature, without any luck. Now I made something that seems to work - but I would like to get your input to see if what I do is ok or it is something I should'nt do. 1: Samba uses passwd to sync the password (not yppasswd) 2: cron runs make in /var/yp every 15 minutes to

Does anybody know whether it is possible to enable MD5 passwords for NIS and local passwords? Is it just a matter of running authconfig --enablemd5 and new passwords will use MD5 and old ones will still work? Of course using LDAP might be a "better" solution (if it was easy to install). I've tried googling and didn't get any useful answers... Jeremy

Here's the problem. We perform full tar backups of our CentOS 4/5 machines in real-time at regular intervals. And when a disaster happens, we are able to restore those backups onto virgin filesystems, make the /dev/null, /dev/zero and /dev/console devices .. and boot the machine. This has worked well on standalone systems, and also on Xen 3.0.3 guests on CentOS 4.4 machines, where each guest

HI all, Is it possible to install a virtual guest (FreeBSD and OpenBSD mainly) from kvm host's console? I have tried to do some search about this but I haven't found anything about it. My idea is to launch "virsh start guest1" and inmediately "virsh console guest1", but it doesn't works until serial console is configured inside guest .... Any tip? Thanks.

Hello R-help list, I have a piece of code written by a grad student here at BU which will segfault when using one data set, but complete just fine using another. Both sets are just text files full of real numbers. It seems like a bug within R. It could be a bug within her data, but again, her data is just a bunch of floats, so her data could be triggering a bug within R. I have tried this
