    building a Linux file server for home advice needed

    I would recommend either FreeNAS or OpenFiler.

    NAS / Media Server

    If FreeNas doesn't float ur boat, openfiler is another project similar.

    device proxy, serial port spy

    Are you looking for info going BOTH ways to be "copied"? That's difficult, because something would need to play traffic cop. Things could easily get out of wack (pc hearing an "I'm done" type response multiple times, etc). If you had a rcv only serial devices and wanted to clone info coming...

    There is a reset button on the back that changes all the GSP settings back to default.

    Sun Web Based Training

    I'm currently enrolled in the second Solaris 10 Admin course part 2 and took part one last week. I am not impressed. I took a redhat course a few weeks ago (RH-133) and was much more impressed by the quality of the instructor and layout of the training/labs. I am taking these as a refresher...

    script path

    What comes after the "#!/usr/bin/gawk -f ". Is the filename specified given in absolute path?

    Telnet from HP-UX to red hat connects but no login prompt

    Did you check the reverse lookup of the host that isn't working from the telnetd server? I would try another telnet client (ncftp, or netcat) from that client. I would also check telnet client patch versions (if they are similar). Can the Bad client telnet to other servers? Here's my last...

    permission question

    Something I just learned (yes, an old dog can learn) is that SGID on a directory forces the group ownership of the files in the directory (regardless of primary group of user creating file). /hr with group of hr and sgid if ann with primary group of ann and secondary of hr writes a file, hr...

    Help with ftp

    What version of perl can you expect to see? I believe perl has had ftp timeout options in there for awhile... If not, since you are providing the script to update the boxes, you could bundle the required perl libraries/executables as well... OR maybe this would be a good place to write a...

    Telnet from HP-UX to red hat connects but no login prompt

    Does this happen from all hosts telneting to this server (when logging in as same user)? My bet is that you are using (or have enabled) reverse lookup for hosts.deny or some sillyness and there is an issue of lookup. Try to put the ip and hostname in /etc/hosts on the telnetd server to see if...

    Help with ftp

    Can you normally ping the server? If so, you can do a ping, limit the number of packets, send the output to /dev/null and check to see if that was sucessful before going on with the ftp. You can even do a loop that would continue doing that (with a healthy pause) until it was successful. Other...

    permission question

    --p5wizard-- sticky bit (third group) rwxt or rwt (special behaviour for world-writable dirs) rw-t or rwT (doesn't really make sense: if 'others' can't cd into a dir, then no use in making special arrangements for them) ------------ The upper and lowercase T (sticky bit) makes sense because even...

    Cron basics

    crontab -e will bring up your favorite editor. Afterwards you will need to put the following line : 0 10 * * * /your/script_name You do not need to be logged in to have cron run. Cron will run the script as the user you were logged in as when you typed crontab -e. Below is more info about...

    How to connect my laptop to DL 385 having REDHAT Linux

    If you have a DHCP Server setup on the Mgmt network, you can let the ILO port grab an address and look it up by MAC on the server (use the little card that comes with the server for mac address and default password). After that you can connect directly to the ILO. You can now load the OS, or...

    SSH binding to single NIC

    No need to create another instance of sshd unless you need different configuration running. Using the line that IRudebwoy gave, one instance will listen to multiple interfaces. Before worrying about iptables, I'd get sshd setup to listen to both ports (change sshd_config and kill -HUP it) and...

    ssh in a shell script without the use of key pairs

    Use Perl, Ruby, C++ or sshpass. sshpass can pass the password to the ssh command. Perl and Ruby you can specify the password in the script C++ you can write a little program to take care of the ssh portion. Perl SSH Example: http://unixnotes.wordpress.com/2006/03/15/perl-ssh-cisco-script/...

    Sun took over VirtualBox

    Why would you use virtualbox on solaris on vmware on windows ?!?!? Virtualbox and Vmware do similar things. I would recommend choosing one or the other (and I'd stick w/ vmware since it's setup). If you REALLY want virtualbox, I'd reload my pc with solaris only and run virtualbox on top of...
