Hi I have been searching for commands to "debug" netgroup membership. I am using netgroups provided by ldap. I can do a ldap query but it seems a bit unwieldy to do. I have found a package on ubuntu called ng-utils https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ng-utils/0.7-1 which does what I require and compiles very easily. It contains two commands netgroup and innetgr to query netgroup

We are planning on moving a large amount of Exchange mailboxes to UNIX mbox format. My question is, does anyone know of any projects out there or of any tools that can assist in this conversion? Thanks Josh

Trying the to install on the OQO, and hitting up against one problem I see a lot in the comments about installing various distros on it. That is its screen size. So I could install using the text installation except... What is the command line for text install and askmethod so I can use HTTP to access my local repo? What do I add to 'linux askmethod'? And if I go the text install

Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or

Dear Experts, Sorry about taking shortcut and asking everybody... My question is: how do you avoid "firstboot" screen in latest CentOS 7.3 kickstart. I have installed about a dozen of CentOS 7 (none of which was 7.3) with that kickstart file. None of them ever went to firstboot screen on first boot. Now after kickstart installation of CentOS 7.3 it goes into firstboot screen showing

So I took the anaconda cfg, commented out the partition/disk pieces and ran it off my repo server and it almost worked. Little things like not including things I had done on network setup. No first boot.... :) So now I am reading up on building a kickstart cfg http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-howuse.html

Is it possible to specify a proxy when starting a "linux askmethod" install? Thanks Dean

I have a bunch of DecTOPs. Use the AMD Geode chip. Yesterday I upgraded one of them, and got the dreaded Kernel panic. Something about powernowk8. I could boot up with the old kernel, though. I know I have to put in a bug report on this, will do shortly, but first wanted to try a fresh install on another DecTOP. At the prompt, I specified: linux askmethod After it loaded the kernel, it

Through kickstart I setup everything I need. On CentOS 7 I still get the "welcome" screen followed by a couple more then your ready to start using centos how do I get Rid of those series of screens ? Thanks Jerry

Hi all, I was wondering if someone knows how to "automatically" login as root with gdm and gnome. I have been doing some searching, and havent been able to find a method. I dont want to login automatically all the time - its just part of install setup. 1) kickstart install 2) post section do somethings 3) setup so on reboot auto login as root 4) complete installing some things and

Hello, I have been on a dynamic ip for about 5 years and have just upgraded to a static ip. I know I need to change my network setup on my eth0 nic to static and stop ddclient from trying to update my address but is there _really_ anything else I need to change. I have a couple of websites on this address using *:80 in my httpd.conf. I can easily change this but don't think it would really

Currently we install a systemd service named firstboot.service and a SysV service named virt-sysprep-firstboot. On systems where systemd is the init system and runs with the SysV compatibility, the different names make systemd handle them as different services, and thus trying to run the firstboot script runner twice. Rename both the systemd service and the SysV one to guestfs-firstboot: the new

Currently firstboot would only work on redhat-based images. Handle redhat-based, suse-based and debian guests, error out in case of an unknown distro. Update firstboot.sh: - make sure scripts exists and can be executed - add LSB header to avoid insserv warnings later on - run script only if called with "start" Update functions, pass only required options.

Hey folks - So what happened to the RescueCD ISO?... i'm not finding it under the ...centos/4.4/isos/ dir, as i believe it generally has been previously. At my office, we have a local mirror, and i've always just burned the RescueCD ISO and booted with that. At the prompt i supply "linux askmethod" and then later reference our local mirror to do an install or upgrade. The

Hi, all. I'm trying to customize a CentOS installation cd, but got trouble with kickstart. I want to use dialog[1] for command line based user interface, but it can't display correctly in kickstart with CentOS 5.5. Same ks file works with CentOS 5.3 (both i386 and x86_64). What's the different between CentOS 5.3/5.5? I can't find it in release notes. And how can i fix it? Thanks
