pbnj - nmap and amap related tool
Hey Guys, I have been working on a tool that is related to both nmap and amap. It takes the input from nmap and parses it to amap then stores the data in a csv file. Then if you like you can go and do another scan and the diff will be added to the csv file. If there is no diff then nothing is outputted. It's called pbnj. http://pbnj.sf.net Let me know if you have any comments, suggestions or ideas.

The frustrating thing for me was getting beyond the people whose main job seems to be "keeping you in the dark". Wednesday, I got this message: >>> Lloyd, I left a message with John earlier this morning. AIT disagrees with PIR's assessment of the situation. The Registry claims to have received a notice from us asking that several hundred domains be deleted. That's not how AIT systems work; deletions are a manual process that cannot be executed en masse. I realize this does nothing to alleviate your issue, but I want you to have an understanding of what's going on. We have asked the Registry to restore the affected domains, but it refuses to admit wrongdoing and insists on restoration fees before doing so. Our fallback position is to register secondary domains that point to the main website so affected customers get relief. < Once they finally admitted that there was a money issue, I was able to get through to them that we *needed* to get the domain online and we could pay a fee to accomplish that.

[Fwd: Can I bother you with another Linux question?]
Hey all, Anybody got an answer? Take it easy, -- David Berube Berube Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] (603)-485-9622 http://www.berubeconsulting.com/ --- Begin Message --- David, Hi. It's Fletcher. Can I bother you for another Linux question? I hope it's really simple. We have a system at a customer site in Alabama that has several Windows machines and one Linux machine, Red Hat 9. We have been using pcAnywhere to get remote access from the office here to one of the Windows boxes and from there to the others. So from here we get complete access to all the Windows machines there. Recently we upgraded to pcAnywhere 11.5 which allows us to get into the Linux box. We tried it here with a mockup, got it to work, and now our technician is on site there and trying to do the same setup but it's failing. When we do pcAnywhere's Quick Deploy and Connect it apparently loads a "thin host" on the Linux to connect to. In the log I find the following error: /root/pcADeploy/thinhost: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So I poked around on the Linux box here that is working, and found the file libXm.so.3 in usr/X11R6/lib. I changed the file name temporarily and tried to connect and got exactly the same error in the log here. So I loaded the file over the wire to the system down there, in the same directory. Still we get the same error. Then I found that libXm.so.3 is a link to libXm.so.3.0.1 so I sent that down to Alabama. Still the error. On a Google search I found a forum where someone asked the guy with the problem - is usr/X11R6/lib in your etc/ld.so.conf file? From what I can gather that is a file that is like a PATH thing - telling you where you can find .so files? It is in the conf file here, and I see it in the conf file down there. So the question is - how is it that libXm.so.3 can't be found? The file is there and the path is in the conf file. Is there more that is needed that I don't know about? Any help appreciated for sure. Best wishes, Fletcher --- End Message ---

I am going to bring a laptop that I haven't been able to tame. It supports APCI but won't go into standby properly. In Standby, the screen goes blank, but the backlight stays on. When the cover is closed the backlight goes off. (Probably a hidden mechanical switch.) I can get it into disk suspend (which I don't desire), in which case the backlight goes off. However, it locks the screen (which I don't want - or at least want to have a choice) and knocks out the sound. I assume this will be easy for someone who knows what they are doing - which isn't me.

Re: in-situ conversion to FT disk config?
How I ended up creating my RAID1: Recall that hda1 and hdc1 are identically sized partitions on identical disks. hda1 was full of data that I wanted made redundant, hdc1 was empty. I first said: mdadm -v -C /dev/md0 -l 1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/hdc1 missing ...which created the RAID1 device, named it md0, declared it to consist of two "real" devices, mentioning one of them (hdc1) while indicating that it was OK for the other one not to be present at the moment (a "degraded" array). mdadm said this: mdadm: /dev/hdc1 appears to contain a reiserfs file system size = 120053696K mdadm: size set to 120053632K ...and then /dev/md0 was immediately available for use. Interestingly, the entire reiserfs filesystem inside the RAID appeared to be mountable and usable, but fsck.resierfs was unhappy to discover that it could no longer see as far into that device as its superblock indicated it should. That's tantalizing; this indicates that if I had had the presence of mind (and courage) to use something like "parted" I could have done this with hda1 instead of hdc1, resized that reiserfs filesystem inside that now-slightly-smaller partition, shrinking it to fit and my original fantasy about an in-situ RAIDification probably could have been realized. Dang... The real story isn't nearly so thrilling, though - I ended up just rebuilding a reiserfs inside that new device (md0) and then mounted it and copied all the data over from hda1. After I had convinced myself all data had been copied intact, I threw The Big Switch by saying: mdadm -v -a /dev/md0 /dev/hda1 ...to which mdadm responded: mdadm: hot added /dev/hda1 ...and the md0_raid1 resync thread is now busily cloning hdc1 onto hda1, while md0 remains available and mounted. It would appear that all I have left to do is to use fdisk to change the partition-type cookies to 0xfd indicating "Linux raid auto" so they'll supposedly be noticed and activated at bootup. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

The council, which serves as the local authority for 147,000 inhabitants, has chosen the Linux operating system as its new supported platform, opening a range of possibilities. Kicking off the migration project last September, Flintshire upgraded to two eServer i5 570 systems. The i570s employ IBM POWER5™ microprocessors, the ninth generation of 64-bit processors from IBM. The POWER5 architecture represents a new approach to enterprise computing, enabling Linux, AIX® and i5/OS™ to run natively and share fractions of a processor. Go here. INSIDE LINUX AT IBM SUNY Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics Implements Linux The State University of New York has deployed a new parallel supercomputer comprised entirely of clustered blade servers rather than clustered rack-mounted servers. The blade supercomputer is at the SUNY Buffalo campus, which has a supercomputer center dedicated to science, visualization, and bioinformatics, and is used to study the structure of proteins in the hope of treating diseases and discovering new drugs. Built by IBM, the system is comprised of 266 two-way HS20 Xeon DP-based BladeCenter™ blade servers, each equipped with 2.8GHz processors and 1GB of main memory. The configuration also includes seven xSeries® 345 two-way Xeon DP servers and 5TB of FAStT700 storage arrays that act as a data repository that the blade supercomputer accesses as it performs its protein simulations. The IBM configuration will be rated at approximately 1.3 teraflops and runs Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1. For the rest of the story, go here. Business Need Drives IT Innovation for GHY International GHY International, a leading provider of international trade brokerage services, and one of Canada's leading brokers of trade services, faced a host of new requirements when the business environment changed after September 11, 2001. It needed to transform its business in order to more effectively operate in a dramatically changing, cross-border environment. In response, it re-engineered its IT architecture, consolidating a farm of 17 diverse servers into a highly virtualized environment on IBM eServer™ iSeries™. It leveraged an iSeries 820 with logical partitions (LPARs) to host Linux applications and delivered 14 different services, including imaging applications, a firewall, file-and-print serving and Web application serving. In the process, GHY cut its IT budget by 14 percent. Read the whole story here.

Re: SOHO Backups?

I tried this (using the bays from aforementioned shop in Manchester, specifically marked hot-swappable on the box) and hosed a filesystem. From what I have read, hot swap IDE is not supported b/c the kernel only flushes IDE buffers on shutdown. Maybe 2.6 is different--I haven't looked into it. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

They are plastic, but I think I know the shop you mean... in basement of that mill building, right? I'd offer one caveat regarding buying there: the cooling fans in those bays start to sing after about two months of use. There's no way I know of to either prolong their life or replace them. So if you don't feel like returning/exchanging your hot swap bays every two months, you'll be investing in cardboard and rubber shims as well. :) Dave P.S.
