Darkstar,<br> <br> I have a few questions for you. Obviously, the external drives are the ones that lost power. Typically, a machine will have at least one internal drive where you load the O/S. Is this not the case with your server?<br> <br> If you do have an internal drive, you could easily...

rycamor,<br> <br> If you're going to su to root, your other user doesn't need a uid of 0 (superuser equivalence). However, if your other user HAD a uid of 0, you can use it to log on, and have root priveledges.<br> <br> As for the "embedded bird" quote, I got it off a linux distro that was a...

Unsure of Linux, but HP-UX has a file called ftpusers (in /etc). If users are in this file, they cannot use ftp. Check man ftp and search for the keywords "allow" and "deny".<br> <br> slars

I know Solaris 2.5.1 defaults to only allowing root logins at console. Perhaps Linux has this same feature turned on. Anyone know for sure?<br> <br> BTW, I found this phrase that I thought was too cool.<br> <br> "Linux - embedding the bird for the sake of humanity"<br> <br> slars

I know this is basic, but my j-o-b wants me to work on Openview, but no one can tell me what OpC is. "Just learn it."<br> <br> slars

OK, here's what I did on my firewall at a place I worked.<br> <br> Our sendmail.cf definitions defined a 4 hour warning and a 5 day bounce on undeliverable messages. So, with that in mind, I set up a cron to clean up the /var/spool/mqueue (hp-ux) directory. The cron ran a find, looking for...

John,<br> <br> The other gotcha may be if /apps is a JFS formatted file system. I've found that JFS is flakey when reporting free space in a bdf. We had 2gb Oracle data files (which hadn't been filled up in Oracle yet) and a JFS bdf reported that the 2 gb file system still had free space.<br>...

I'm considering getting FreeBSD. I've loaded Linux a few times on my personal machine (RedHat 5.2 and SuSE 6.2), and really haven't been able to make it functional. How does FreeBSD compare with Linux? I figure there will be biases towards FreeBSD, so please try to be objective when you tell...

grdi,<br> <br> Are you still in need of assistance with your message queues? I have some ideas if you do need help.<br> <br> slars

One thing I found with {l}users is that they wrote to /dev accidentally. They thought they were writing to /dev/rmt/0m (hp-ux world), but really wrote the backup to /dev/rmt/om - a much different beast! This filled up the root partition in a hurry, as well.<br> <br> You may want to go to...
