Hi,

The title is a bit misleading, but it seems I can't re-edit the title after creating the post - apologies.

I have been handed a variety of servers, whereas quite a few of these are older...

Hi Celtic,

Thanks for the response and sorry for my lack of response, I was pretty busy the rest of the week. I have dug deeper into this and while there are "repository servers" there are no...

Hi,

I have a bit of a headache with a server doing some rather mysterious yet static changes to permissions in /home. The server in question is a FreeBSD server. It's an older beast with quite a...

Thanks to you both!

The solution from Ahamed works great in korn shell (but not SH), but still very nice to know.

I guess scripting never stops to surprise me, I didn't for a moment think it...

Hi,

I'm doing a small shellscript which is going to take each line in a "queue file" and do stuff to them. I can do the script easily, but I'd like this one to be a bit prettier.

Consider the...

Hi,

Thanks for the advice.
I'm going to see if I can get it done, otherwise I'll have to go onsite and see if I can find its "neighbors".

I actually know nmap but it didn't cross my mind...

Hi,

I just got a little task trying to seemingly find a needle in a haystack.

I have a server (FreeBSD) where several NFS mounts are established from a host somewhere on the local LAN with...

Hello Pludi,

Thank you very much for your time!

After a closer inspection I realised that I received "martians" in my /var/log/warn. Having absolutely no idea what it meant, I googled it...

Hi,

I'm working on getting more acquainted with VMWare and the SUSE SLES OS, so I've downloaded and created a guest running SLES 11 SP1. This works great, no problems. However, there's some...

To sum up what have happened so far;

1. I mistakenly moved the entire /usr dir to /export/usr
2. /usr was replaced with a link (usr -> /export/usr)
3. Problems become obvious after reboot
4....

You are absolutely right on that.
I've also reverted the "usr"-link plan and doing an on-going restore attempt (since it's acting up a bit).

Should a reinstall be needed, it's just a question of...

Haha, sure thing, no problem - we're doing great - at least it's a good opportunity for learning ;)

Mountall has taken a turn for the worse and is not able to mount /dev/rdsk/c0d1s7: (which...

Yeah, it could look like it's still missing something here and there.
Here is the result of our little detective work:


mount:
/ on /dev/dsk/c0d1s0...

I got a little further. Now, it complains that it cannot mount /dev/fd. I copied all files from /sbin -> /usr/sbin with the exception of the two links which were fairly broken.

Here's some...

Actually I just thought the same thing, I fixed it with /etc/mount instead, but the result should be the same :rolleyes: I hit a few others bumps on the road.

I have mounted / with write and...

Strangely enough, my system does not recognize mount.

-bash-3.00# mount -o remount,rw /
-bash: mount: command not found
-bash-3.00# mount
-bash: mount: command not found

...Even though it...

That sounds cool :)

I have been looking around in search for a "remount" but was unable to find one (attempted a find / -name remount too). Instead, I found mountall in /sbin/.

When I...

It's quite okay, no worries - after all, it's still a whole lot of learning and I would never store critical data on a Solaris server before I get more confident in doing stuff like this, so we're...

I now tried to do the following sequence:

mkdir /export/usr
mv /usr/* /export/usr
/export/usr/bin/ln -s /export/usr usr
rm -rf /usr
/export/usr/bin/mv usr /

Since the ls, mv etc reside in...

That sounds interesting, Scott. Is there something in /usr/ that I should *not* move or can it all be moved safely to /export without corrupting any dependencies, links etc?

(I think you are...

That sounds good. I am more than open for suggestions, if it can save me a reinstall ;o)

Here's the result of a du -sk /*:

bash-3.00# du -sk /*

Hey guys,

I am somewhat new to Solaris - and very new when it comes to mounts.

My problem is that when I installed Solaris, I allocated way too little diskspace to my / mount (it first became...

Hello,

I have a small inquiry.
Sometimes, my good friend, Charlie Root, sends me security notifications that a possible breakin attempt has occured. It looks like this:

glen.barber,
Your "make deinstall distclean" followed up by a new "make install" was right on, it fixed the problem and my Apache is now again up and running.

sysgate,
Thank you for the tricks,...

Hello,

I am fairly new at FreeBSD. I tried searching existing topics for a similar problem, but I found none :)

I have a problem reinstalling apache22 which I had to remove in my...
