Hi group, How can I change the partition sizes at install? I am installing AIX 5.3 from scratch on a clean RS6000 B-50 and just installing some additional development tools has caused me to run out of space. The HD is 18.2 GB and here's the output of df: Filesystem 512-blocks Free...

Hi again group, I thought I posted this yesterday but I never saw it hit the list (maybe fat-fingered something) so here goes again... I have a new (well, new to me) RS6000 B50 which I am trying to install AIX 5.3 from CDROM. The install seems to go OK (slow, but OK) but I am never prompted to...

OK, I'm 99% of the way home. I've got my new 20 GB drive partitioned and formatted. I can mount it as root at /x/hdisk1 and cd and ls -l and see the lost+found folder. However, as a normal user, I cannot create new folders here. I get "Permission denied" If I create a folder as root then chown...

I have a 20GB drive that I want to add to my sparc 5.8 machine to provide additional storage space. Basically, all I want to do is format it, give it a single partition and mount it on, say, /mnt/hdisk1. There's one more nice-to-have... since I just added memory to the machine too, I would...

I am adding a new hard drive to my existing 5.8 Sparc machine but before I delve into that I need to understand what is going on on the current drive. Can someone please explain to me the following information from the 'df' command and the format->partition->print command regarding my current...

Hi list, I have a network with various Unix machines (linux, freebsd, AIX and solaris) as well as Windows. We are using Openssh to login from a Windows machine to each of the Unix machines running Openssh servers and are trying to set them all up with RSA keys for passwordless logins. This is...

Hey guys, My solaris 5.8 machine has the ypserver configured and it's gonna cause problems on my network. I want the machine to stay an NIS client. How can I turn off the ypserv server but keep the machine an NIS client? Thanks.

I just built and installed OpenSSH-4.7p1 and dependencies on my AIX 4.3 machine. The client runs fine. So does the sshd daemon. I just need some pointers on configuring the system to start the daemon automatically at boot time with correct security and all. Can someone point me to information...

Hi group, Please don't flame me. I am having trouble getting my Solaris 5.8 machine to find an NIS server which we have moved on our network. On Linux, I simply changed the NIS client configuration to use the broadcast method of finding the NIS server but I am unclear on how/where to do the...

Hmm. I'm kind of stuck on installing the Sun Workshop 11 package on my vintage Sparc 5.8 system. The prerequisites call for JRE 1.4.2 so I need to update this. My current /usr folder includes the following: drwxr-xr-x 7 root bin 512 May 1 2002 j2se lrwxrwxrwx 1 root...

Can someone make sense of this for me? This does not look right. I have inherited a Sparc 5.8 V100 server and am looking at the space available. The 'df' command gives me this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0 241599 106358 111082...

Three questions with getting the NIS client to work on sun 5.8: 1.) the domainname is not being read upon reboot even when /etc/domainname contains the correct value. the 'domainname' command returns nothing upon reboot. I've been having to reset it manually with 'domainname <domain>' 2.) the...

Hi forum, I am the lucky new owner of a SunFire V100 with Sun 5.8 installed. The machine has two ethernet interface connections. I am connected via a serial cable and a terminal window and am trying to configure the network so I can add the machine to our subnet. Here's what I've done...

Hi forum, Before you flame me, I have googled this topic to death and am just suffering from too much information. I have a new 18GB hot pluggable hard drive that I want to add to my AIX 4.3 machine for additional storage. I just want to format it and mount it to something like /mnt/storage...
