    DL380 IML message to syslog

    I'm running Redhat Enterprise 3 and trying to get the IML messages to be copied to the /var/log/messages file, I've installed the hpasm package which claims to have this functionality and setup the syslog.conf so all messages are sent to /var/log/message, but still no results when I create a new...

    Bind RPC to a particular IP

    Thanks for the link but it doesn't really help me. I've been trying to add config files to the /etc/xinetd.d directory for the rpc.statd processes but they don't seem to work, the rpc.statd process do not start when I restart the xinetd service: /etc/xinetd.d/rstatd...

    Bind RPC to a particular IP

    I've been asked if I can lock-down the NFS client activity on a server to just one of it's IP addresses. I've read that xinetd can do this kind of thing but I'm not sure how to configuration xinetd files, is it even possible with RPC calls? I'm using Redhat AS 2.1 (7.2 in the real world I think)...

    How to set up sudo

    You should really use the command 'visudo' to edit your sudo configuration, the command provides a certain level of protection from mistakes you or others with root access might make. Plus it's less keystrokes than 'vi /etc/sudoers'. :-) Have a look at the man page for more info. spoodie...

    Disks wipes

    Okay, so how do I write these random bits to a disk the OS can't "see", the externally connected disk arrays are still my main issue? My understanding is that if they are not available from the initial format menu then the OS cannot "see" them. Thanks spoodie =================== "I say we...

    Disks wipes

    Okay, I concede. How do I confidently wipe the data from disks within an external disk array, or any other disks for that matter, but mainly the former? Bearing in mind I’m limited to the OS I can boot from a CDROM, is this possible? Thanks for your help. spoodie =================== "I...

    Disks wipes

    My method of wiping the disks is already sorted, I'm using the format command and performing and "analyze" then "verify", which I'm lead to believe is a good method. My problem is that the format command cannot "see" the individual disks in the external, fibre connected disk arrays, is there any...

    Disks wipes

    I've been asked to wipe some disks on some servers so the kit can be sold on, but I'm having trouble with external disk arrays: D1000 connected through an A3500FC as well as A5000 and A5200 connected using fibre. The server heads are E4500 and E5500. For the other disks/servers, such as E420s...

    NIC up but not working...

    This problem has been sorted now by a colleague and with a little help from Sun. The problem was down to incompatible network speeds, the switch port was set to 100 full duplex and the server NIC was set to 10 full duplex by an rc script which I didn’t spot; S99nettune. Thanks for you help...

    NIC up but not working...

    I'm a fairly accomplished UNIX sysadmin and I've got a real tricky problem. The NIC (on a V240) is up and configured but won't provide any service, also the link and activity light go out when the OS is booted into multiuser mode. The only thing I can see wrong is that RUNNING is missing from...

    Remote System Console

    We have four new servers, all with RSC (Remote System Console) ports and would like to make use of them. Unfortunately I'm unfamilar with this technology, there is no OS installed as yet so what would the initial username and password for RSC? Thanks

    Multiple archives

    You may kick yourself when I tell you this but there is a command called 'split' which, if I'm reading your question correctly, will do exactly what you want. Have a read of the man page, it's fairly obvious but to get you started try: split -b 1500k [file_name] [new_file_name] You're going to...

    Imaging a mac hard drive

    With OS X 10.3 I believe you have the ability to do this create and restore disk images using Disk Utility. For other 10.x versions you may be able to use the Carbon Copy shareware tool, or some simple UNIX commands, which I can advise on. It depends what you want to do with the image. If...

    find all hostnames on domain

    You might be able to do a broadcast ping depending on the size of the domain, that would allow you identify IP addresses in your domain then you could lookup (nslookup or dig) for the hostnames. I'm not aware of any tools to allow you to do exactly what you're asking, it sounds like you...

    FTP setup in Solaris 8

    In theory all you should need to do is uncomment the 'ftpd' line in the file /etc/inetd.conf, fine the process ID of the /usr/sbin/inetd command the perform a hang-up on it, ie. kill -HUP [process_id] Although please bear in mind that this will enable all users on the server to login using FTP...

    WARNING: /pci@4,4000/scsi@4/sd@5,0 (sd95):

    You can get rid of the first three messages by commenting out the relevant lines in the /etc/system file, it's obvious which lines need to be commented out, I believe they are related to volume management software. Make sure you make a copy of the /etc/system file before editing. spoodie...

    Panther upgrade and Classic OS

    I was more concerned about the technical side of installing and running two versions of the OS on one machine, I understand I may need to partition my harddrive? Also, what are the keys I need to press at start-up to select an alternative boot device? The media I can get hold of without too...

    Panther upgrade and Classic OS

    I've only been using Macs for about 18 months so I know very little about OS9/Classic, but I occasionally have a requirement for it when running old apps. When I upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2 about a year ago and found I'd lost the OS9 that came pre-installed with the machine about six months...

    crontab -l Users has problem

    I've not used it myself but it seems think you could be running user auditing, which you could turn off if you don't need it, have a look at this document for more information: http://downloads.securityfocus.com/library/audit_config.pdf Also what happens if you attempt to run the commend as...

    I've installed GPG 1.2.1 from a pkg I downloaded from Sunfreeware.com and when I try to generate a key I get the following message, can anybody give me some advice for correcting this, it occurs immediately after entering the passphrase: You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key. gpg...
