Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to automate the use of scp in a script? I'd like to be able to write a quick script that the user could call like: "cpfile $1" where the user specifies the filename that they'd like to copy over. (I know that I can do the same thing with...

Hi Katherine, The /etc/hosts.equiv file is where you can define other systems that will be allowed to execute commands without supplying a password. It's also worth noting that there is no encryption over this connection either. As such, it can be a very dangerous thing to do if the system...

Good information guys, & much appreciated. I did reboot the server, but I haven't tried the uninstall/re-install routine yet. Thanks again! T.

Let me preface this by stating that I am in NO way a DBA/SQL expert, nor do I play one on TV... I do networking, & work with SQL server just enough to hopefully keep it running until the knowledgeable folk show up. At a VIP's request, I went to apply SP3 in order to address the issues raised...

Hello, I need to find out what the CPU speed is on an old box we have sitting around here. It's an older RS/6000 (591) running AIX 4.3.3.0. I've been able to get all of the hardware info I needed (except that) by running 'lscfg -v', but I didn't see anything that would tell me how fast the...

OK, in an attempt to avoid asking a question that's just recently been answered, I've just gone through the subject lines of the last 1000+ messages in this forum - so I'm fairly confident that this hasn't been addressed recently... Is it possible for me to block all messages on the server that...

That's exactly what I was looking for - THANKS!! That's going to make a couple of my users quite happy today! T.

Hi all, just a fairly simple question (probably), but I've not yet found the answer... Is it possible to set something on Exchange 5.5 so that all messages from a particular domain are denied? I've kept track of all of the traffic from the domain in question, & so far there's not been a single...

Hi all, I have Nagios (http://www.nagios.org/) installed on one of my Linux boxes so that I can keep track of the different systems on my network, but the Linux machine in question doesn't have a web server configured. Given the fact that the status reports from Nagios are the only things...

Yes, it's all on the same internet connection. FWIW, the mail server runs M$ Exchange, and I'm not seeing anything in the logs to tell me that it is dropping the messages... I just wonder what path the mail is taking, whether it's hitting the Exchange server, or whether it's hitting the...

Never mind, I found it - see my post in the WinXP forum for the link...

Just for the record, I found the newer version of the Adminpak file that works with XP. If anyone else needs it, it can be found at the link below... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q304718 (Does this mean that I can mark my own post as "helpful"??) T.

I guess the subject says it all, I need to find out if it's possible to install WINS Manager (used to monitor NT/2000 servers) on a system that's running WinXP Professional. My boss just got a new system, & he's accustomed to being able to resolve IP addresses to hostnames at his desk...

Hi all, I'm trying to use the 'mail' program to notify me (& a couple other admins) of the output of a cron job, but I've not found out how to specify the IP address of the server that we use to route mail internally. The command I'm using is: echo <foo> | mail -s &quot;Output from...

Outstanding, that worked beautifully, thank you! Now I've just discovered that that won't work on my boss's PC, does anyone know of a similar trick for XP Professional?

Just as an FYI (assuming that you're running a Windows machine)... I can think of a couple of pieces of software that may be able to help you: ZoneAlarm is a software-based &quot;firewall&quot; app that lets you know when any other application is trying to access the internet. You can find it...

Hi all, Does anyone know if it's possible for me to run WINS Manager from a remote Win2000 Professional workstation? If so, is there a link that someone can give me a pointer to that'll give directions on how it's done? So far, I've been able to set things up so that I can run 'Server...

I guess the subject line says it all - given admin rights on a (NT/2000) server, how do I determine which version of IIS it's running? I've tried browsing to it from another system (using IE), telnetting to port 80, going through the Control Panel, the Start Menu, etc. (I know, it's probably...

First off, let me say thanks to all for the feedback. DefCorp - I kinda felt that backing them up was the right thing to do, but as I looked into it, it seemed as though there were some that felt it was unnecessary. Thanks for affirming my &quot;gut feeling&quot;! Burro111 - It is indeed...

Hello, I'm looking to put some network monitoring in place, and since I'm new to SNMP, I thought I'd try & get opinions from some of the more experienced people here. In the short term, I'm looking at free/low-cost Linux-based apps, with an eye towards (maybe) stepping up to a commercial...
