As far as I am aware, Webmin doesn't have the ability to change the passwords on a remote server, does it?

I need two functional criteria to be met:

1. Something that can be executed from a...

Hi All
I need to automate (execute from a script or loop on the command line) password changes on a number of UNIX boxes. I cannot use telnet since I have disabled this on all servers - and...

Hi All
I recently upgraded my Mandrake 9.1 box to Mandrake 10.0 and the 2.6 kernel. However when I execute uname -a I still get a 2.4 kernel:

Linux hostname 2.4.21-0.13mdk #1 Fri Mar 14 15:08:06...

Nice one Perderabo, it works perfectly.

That is why I have always maintained you are the UNIX king.

Hi All
I need to put a bunch of specific files in a directory (with loads of other files), into a tar archive. The best way I thought of doing this was putting the filenames into a file, reading...

Hi All
Is there a command (or set of commands) that can be used to kill a connection listed in the netstat table? Say there is a host connected to a certain port on your machine, and it is listed...

For the record, this will work. I have now tested it.

Hi All
Say a customer owns a domain abc.com. The DNS records for abc.com are on DNS servers I do not own. However I own a web server and the customer would like to host his site on this server.

Thanks very much, that's done the trick.

Hi all
I have installed Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 onto a Proliant DL580 (dual XEON 2.8GHz processors).

The bash shell is not autocompleting filenames/directorynames when I hit escape...

Hi Optimus
I mean the email goes into the 'Junk' folder of the Yahoo! or Hotmail account. With Hotmail it is somewhat understandable since they now automatically filter all email NOT in the user's...

Hi All
I have a slight problem with sending mails from my server - if I send mails to Yahoo! or Hotmail, either direct via the SMTP server, or through sendmail, the email ends up in the account...

Hi All
I'm not sure if anyone else notices this or not - however when I view the unix.com forums in Windows, the flash logo at the top of the page absolutely kills my performance - CPU usage rockets...

Hi All
I have an extremely frustrating problem with my Mandrake 9.1 machine. When I am in KDE no browser at all will resolve hostnames. Networking is fine, as I can reach websites via IP address,...

Thanks very much RTM.

Hi All
I've been having a lot of errors logged on the Cisco Catalyst (4000 series) which one of my Solaris servers is patched into. I have a feeling they are duplex related, but I'm a bit stuck as...

Seems as though you are the 'putz' for leaving such an important file hundreds of miles away on a computer without taking any contingency measures. If the file was so important you'd think you would...

True. But he doesn't post on this forum.

BTW I completely predicted your response. Just for fun why don't you edit your post to say:

"Yes I am a UNIX King and I will smack you all down!"
...

This post is here because I couldn't think of putting it anywhere else, and also I imagine it will be deleted since we cannot set this sort of a precedent.

However I have to say Perderabo is a...

What version of UNIX are you using?
How are you accessing the UNIX machine - remote telnet session from a PC or from a local console directly attached to the UNIX machine?

One possible way:

for x in 1 2 4
do
*dataBase1_dump -a | grep "Field$x" >> filename.out
done

Try replacing

ls -Flt | awk '{print $5, $9}' | while read filesize

with

ls -Flt | grep -v ^total | awk '{print $5, $9}' | while read filesize

The 'ls -Flt' is a long listing that produces...

Use the 'pkginfo' command. The '-l' flag on this command will list installed software in more detail.

Note: this only lists software that has been installed via the 'pkgadd' utility - you need to...

Use the 'ioscan' command.

e.g.

ioscan -fn

Different flags can be used to limit the output to specific classes of hardware (e.g. disk, LANIC, processor, memory etc).

Also if you have...

Answering my own post subsequent to finding an answer - this is not actually possible. A FIFO is s kernel inter-process communication mechanism and as such it apparently alters the device map in the...
