Solaris 11 lets me assign different PAM...

Hi, was wondering if its possible to change the default warning message text that notifies users that their kerberos ticket is due to expire in xx minutes. I am using Kerberos 5 on Sol 10.

Thanks Guru, but not sure if this is what I'm after.

example of my code is:


e.g. Array name (H) could contain a persons name. The items (I) in the array could include things like address,...

Hi gurus,

I need to create arrays from variables, via a loop.

The issue I have is with the array name creation. How do I use a variable to define an array?

I want to do something like

I understand how su & sudo work.

My requirement is to be able to switch users from within the perl script, so that specific actions/commands are performed under the required account. I do not want...

I need to initially ssh as a specific user and then run the perl script as another user. This is due to the monitoring software we use.

Hi gurus,

I have a requirement where I need to remotely run a perl script as another user.
Running the script locally as the required user is fine, however I need to su with the script due to...

Thank you to everybody.

The solution was to set IFS to newline so that the loop did not interpret whitespace as a field seperater.

Thanks for the replies.

itkamaraj, your solution combined all fields into a single record. What I want is to combine field 1 and field 2 into a single variable, so that the result is "asset...

Hi forum members,

I've run into a problem that I'm hoping you can sort out.
Whenever I run an arp -a or netstat -p the command hangs. It seems that the system is trying to reverse lookup a...

Just thinking outside the box. If root ftp access is configured (and some systems are set up this way), this could be a quicker (and easier) way then having to hunt for your recovery media and reboot...

look up the Man page for the "showmount" command. One of the options should do what you want.

You'll also want to make sure your hostname.xxx files do not specify a subnet in their ifconfig statements, or make the required changes there as well.

Are you saying that you deleted /usr directory on your box?

If so, restore from backup is going to be your solution.

crontab -e

whoami command will tell you who you are logged in as.

try using the "who" command on the remote server to see a list of currently logged in users. The "last" command will also provide user login...

I'd have expected this behaviour to be the way it was designed.
Thinking about it, you're forcing the user to change their password, but how do you know that the correct user is changing the...

You shouldn't cause too much trouble. Files in the "other" group could be inaccessible, depending on permissions but none of these should be system critical anyway. Personally, I wouldn't worry about...

No, you need 2 virtual interfaces for load balancing (active/active), as the data (or virtual) i.p. needs to bind to a dedicated physical NIC. With only a single VIP, you need to configure for an...

You could also try to resolve the issue via FTP. FTP login doesn't use a shell, so maybe you could pull the backup copy of passwd file, rename it back to it's correct name and then push it back to...

Try running the script manually with sh -x and you should be able to see where the problem is

I'd suggest adding the path statement to your user's profile (in his/hers home directory), rather than adding it to /etc/profile as /etc/profile updates everybodies path statement. This way, if you...
