What you are referring to is anonymous FTP, which does a chroot to a predetermined directory to prevent the user from surfing your machine. Once chroot'ed, the user can't even find things like ls, which FTP needs to show the contents of a directory. This is why you need to replicate a...

That is not an AWK question. AWK either reads from standard input or from a file you specify on the command line. You can reference a serial port both ways.<br> Awk will close out as soon as it sees eof though, so a serial port without data on it will cause awk to prematurely close.<br> You...

You can't get there from here. Solaris ftpd doesn't swing that way.<br> If memory serves, the Washington University FTPD (Wu-ftpd) has some capabilities like that, but it involves significant effort.

Sun has long considered what you want to be a form of Denial of Service attack. They don't let you do that with their system as it comes out of the box.<br> There are other tools that you can BUY to accomplish this. One I am familiar with is Guardian, from datalynx. Check out <A...

You can also call IBM up and ask them for a Y2K CD, which we did. They put all the APARS you need on one CD and you can install it (soon!)

I have been unsuccessful in doing this with ksh. However, it is possible to do, and I have done it, with Perl.

using the script submitted by allias, typesetting to uppercase, of course, add an entry that crops the .cpy from the variable thusly:<br> ${File}=${File%%.cpy}<br> before doing the LowerCase=$File thing (or UpperCase if you changed your variables to match your intention).<br> Of course, you need...

The most obvious answer is that you have a wrong username/password combination. You would typically get another chance, which you have not indicated.<br> TCP wrappers or inetd.sec would prevent you from ever seeing a login prompt in the first place.<br> Another possibility is that you...

The Veritas product is called &quot;First Watch&quot;.<br> It would be difficult to recommend a product without knowing what your expectations are.<br> I would look seriously at the HP product first, due to the simple issue of multiple vendor support for what is, always, a complex setup (high...

It would be very foolhardy to have a non-Unix literate person configure and implement a Unix based firewall. I recommend that you perform the following exercise:<br> locate the ON/OFF switch for the DEC.<br> Push it repeatedly until the DEC is OFF.<br> Wait for the UNIX guy to return.

Assuming these character strings are in a variable, say FRED, use the reference ${FRED##xxx}.<br> xxx refers to a RE matching the end of your string. You may have trouble unless you know either the total number of characters (say it's 5, then xxx would be ????), or some other character to match...

In this case there are no internal disks. And we are indeed using a 3rd party product (ITO) to monitor the system. All of ITO's processes that check the wellness of the machine locked up as well, apparently pending on I/O.

For using SMB resources on an Unix box you might want to look into Samba.

OPC is a product that runs on top of Openview -- it is used to monitor the internals of a Unix or NT computer. Nowadays it is called HP Openview IT/Operations Center.<br> "Just learn it" is a steep command. Try spending a couple of weeks in HP's classes on ITO first.

Greetings,<br> We had a case where a server with external disks had a bad problem. Somehow the power cord for the disks got pulled out and the disk stopped responding (of course).<br> Oddly enough, the kernel kept running, at least for the time being, and the box responded to pings, snmp...

Well, the size of the mail app is an issue as well. How big a Linux box can you make? Our mail server has 9Gb of space just for mail, and handles 70,000 pieces of mail a day. The throughput is fairly good, but a smaller, slower box would not be able to keep up.<br> Add the web server hits on top...

User Access Verification is a response I see from our Cisco routers. Are you sure you are telnetting to an HP Unix system?

Everyone agrees that change control is a good thing. Our Mgmt. has started firing people who do no have change records for performing changes. The question in the admins' mind is, what is a change? Does changing your .profile constitute change? Does logging in (which updates wtmp)constitute...
