Today I received an allocation of IP6 addresses for some servers. I can 'play' with the last 2 of the 8 IP6 address segments. I always thought, mistakenly, IP6 was 6 segments, because it was IP6. IP4 had 4 segments. However IP6 is actually IP version 6 and it has 8 segments. The other interesting discovers are: :: means one or more 0 segments, example :: can mean 0:0:0: or just 0:0: or

Today, an enthusiastic 10 year old boy asked me about Linux. I thought of telling me to go to centos.org but then realised there is nothing on centos.org for complete beginners to Linux or for children. If anyone has the time, energy and interest, perhaps a basic technical introduction to the Centos version of Linux would be a good long-term objective. Let's catch the children's

Lubuntu 11.10 + LXDE, Wine 1.3.28 , Winetricks 0.0+20110229 I am trying to install hMailServer 5.3.3 . The hMailServer installer warns "it appears another mail server is already running, you should close it", but there is no other mail server running. The warning should read "you can only bind to privileged ports when running as root". I can cope with using other ports once I

Hi everybody At work we''ve finally convinced the chief to develop some small project using open source technology. Unfortunately we are deeply involved with Micro$oft technology. That means, windows 2003 server, IIS, MS SQL 2005 and asp. I was thinking about recommending ruby on rails instead of asp, but I''d like to know how well it goes with IIS and MS SQL, because for the

Hi, Under Windows, I am exporting graphs from R (in metafile -emf- format), and want to combine them using a graphic package. It happens that the background of the graph is represented by a filled rectangle (with the color given by bg=...). This is to be expected. However, I find no options to disable this and produce a graph with transparent background. Does such an option exist? If not, then

We have some database dos programs runing under Linux with dosemu on the client side connected to Linux server runing samba, and want to do register locks in a local directory mounted with smbmount. In samba 2.0 this was not possible (files become corrupted). Can samba 2.2 do the trick?. We don't want to use micro$oft lan manager for DOS. Any other options?. Thanks in advance Pietro

I was on the "Check and fix DNS entries on DC joins" page of the wiki and discovered: root at tdc01:~# host -t CNAME a486dd66-59c8-411b-9c04-98f03d998226._msdcs.test.bob a486dd66-59c8-411b-9c04-98f03d998226._msdcs.test.bob is an alias for tdc01.test.bob. a486dd66-59c8-411b-9c04-98f03d998226._msdcs.test.bob is an alias for TDC02.test.bob. I noticed that my first DC is all small case

One of my clients use a software product that is "upgrading" and will shortly utilize micro$oft SQL server 2005. Currently the clients are XP on older machines with the database residing on a Samba / CentOS server and this works very well. Question: Does anyone run SQL server from XP in a virtualbox on CentOS? Any other configuration that works on a linux server? I do not want to have

I have been using Winbind for some time. We are now looking to use IMAP to replace Exchange. Currently we have configured Winbind to join our domain. Shares work fine and the ability to assign rights from the command line work fine for domain users is fine. The problem is that when outlook sends the user name and password to Winbind and PAM it bails out. When I see the users in Linux they

I'm getting 24 FPS in Uldum in that place the portal from Orgrimmar takes you to. Not great. My wife seems to be raiding ok with it as it is, so I guess we're ok, but it seems sad to have upgraded CPU and RAM so much and be getting such poor results. Seeing as playing WoW is pretty much all we do with it, maybe it's worth giving ?80 to Micro$oft to get their rubbish OS. In summary,

Hi, I have 2 clients that have expressed an interest in switching some users to Linux workstations as a test to see if they can avoid paying some of the Micro$oft tax. They will be sharing Word and Excel data. I'll be installing OpenOffice to begin with. Maybe they might be interested in Gnumeric later. My question is how to tell either Linux or Samba or both to allow any user to

Hi guys, I'm been following samba for six or seven odd months now in preparation for moving our organisation over to a file server which is a little more cost effective than the Micro$oft alternative. We are currently running with about 30 users on a Windows 2000 Small Business Server. Do you see any problems in replacing this server with a linux box running Samba? Is the file

My apologies for this because it is, technically, OT, but it is a classic example of what rotten support Linux (and CentOS) get in the US from equipment manufacturers. The whole email is a lie because they DO have the drivers on their asia site, they just don't want us 'Murkins to get our hands on them. Or maybe it's part of some clever little nuance of their agreement with Micro$oft

I believe this a virus on one of the work stations, but I want to just make sure because no of the virus scans are picking it up. I just built the largest Linux server I ever attempted (725 Gigs in RAID5). I convinced my client to move from Micro$oft. Everything was working perfectly during tests. In operation they are getting random directories made (1000s of them) in the shared folders.
