Re: Download rpm and its dependent packages when the system is not connected to Internet, meaning offline mode?
I believe you’ve already asked this question, though last time, it was in regard to patching systems that aren’t connected. To be fair, the answers won’t change. YouI’ll need to either connect, temporarily, to the internet and patch/install, set up a local repository (like Satellite, Foreman or even a web server with the necessary repository mirrored) or insert physical media with any/all prerequisites included.

Re: Apply security updates offline on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7 (Ootpa) in Production environment
Have you considered setting up a Spacewalk (free) or Satellite (licensed) server, in your envinronment? This way, you could use it as an internet connected, central repository to pull in all of the patches, and then your internal systems could pull and apply their patches from this internal repository instead of reaching out, directly, to Red Hat's servers over the internet.

Adding SUSE Linux subscriptions to Satellite
Greetings all...long time, no submission of question. In my organization roughly 1/6 of our Linux footprint is running SUSE Enterprise Linux (12 SP5 and 15 SP4), while the rest is RHEL (7, 8 and soon, 9). I've recently implemented Satellite Server (6.10) and we are looking to ditch SUSE Manager in favor of Satellite. As such, I'm trying to figure out how to get the SUSE Linux repositories to pull down, into Satellite. My Google-Fu is failing me, and Red Hat, at present, doesn't seem to have much in their knowledge base (after all, it's likely not a supported solution, so why would they?). Has anyone, here, brought SUSE Enterprise Linux into Satellite and if so, would you be willing to share how you did it? -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org "It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.

Re: Virtual hosts in Apache (URGENT)
If your server isn't behind a dedicated firewall machine, when you're on a dynamic IP, then you reap what you sow, in all fairness. And if you're on a dynamic IP, you'll have to worry about updating the DNS for every domain every time it changes. So, the short answer is to make sure that your server is behind a firewall of some sort. Then, you assign a private IP address to the server, itself, and use that IP in your httpd.conf file. However, the fact of the matter is that you can not use the wildcard * for each of the virtual domains. That's exactly how I do it.

It wouldn't be practical to change the IP address in httpd.conf every time my IP changes, ad if I did that I may be down for a day or more before I realized my server wasn't listening properly.

Re: pinging a name vs. number
Whether you use the named address in your ping command or not,it's always going to ping the numeric address. The only thing using the name will do is show you that DNS is working. Your esteemed colleague is, after all, an MCSE. Unfortunately, I've only met one or two who could actually speak on routing, etc., in any sort of coherent manner. On Fri, 19 Sep 2003, Timothy Stone wrote: List and network gurus... I recently had a coworker tell me that we should *always* ping by *name*, *not* by number. The reason as explained is because the resolution takes place at a higher level on the OSI stack. And pinging the number does nothing but tell you that the 'connection' to the machine is okay. Huh?! Isn't pinging by name just the same as pinging by number, only adding a step for the name resolution? % ping 10.0.0.5 +-++---+ | work station - | 10.0.0.5 +-++---+ % ping myserver +-++---+ | work station - | myserver +-++---+ | | +-+ | DNS/WINS # myserver = 10.0.0.5 +-+ I added WINS here because, well, we have a Windoze LAN and the server in question is a remote Exchange server. I think what my esteemed MCSE colleague was wanting to explain that pinging is not as effective as telneting to the check the service in question. My understanding of the our network is that many times it's not our remote Exchange host, but the connection between us that is the problem, and pinging by name or number is just fine as a test. For instance if I wanted to check my webserver to see if it was up I could %ping mywebserver #OR %ping 10.0.0.10 #mywebserver But this tells me nothing about the HTTPD service. So I would be better off %telnet mywebserver 80 #OR %telnet 10.0.0.10 80 #OR %curl -I http://mywebserver#via cygwin of course Telnet|cURL would tell me both things: the webserver is up and the HTTPD is answering connections.

Hi,

Lease times are set by the ISP. Although the lease on my IP is only for
6 days, I've had the same IP for nearly a year now.
I think the question was more directed for an internal DHCP server.
I don't know that there's an actual high end limit, but I'm fairly sure
that there's no indefinite/infinite lease.
However, if you want to permanently assign an IP to a particular system,
but allocate it through DHCP, you could simply add definitions to your
dhcpd.conf file based on MAC address, like so:
host perm-guest {
hardware ethernet XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;
fixed-address YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY;
}

RE: soundcard in redhat 9
You might try downloading and installing the ALSA drivers...you'll need to have the kernel-source package installed for your kernel to do so. You could also try the OSS driver...it's not freeware, but I found it to work extremely well with my sound card, for which the kernel drivers didn't work 100% (missing some crucial functionality). It's also possible that you'll need the kernel-source package installed for OSS, as well, as it turns out that if the downloaded package doesn't have the driver compiled for your particular kernel, it gives you an option, at install time, to try to compile it for you.

Re: Problems trying to change passwords with RH7.3
On Tue, 28 Jan 2003, Billy Davis wrote: We have just done a FRESH install of RH7.3 right out of a retail box, and have encountered two problems: 1. We set up several users with temporary passwords for testing. Later we logged into the Graphical login screen as root, and selected System Settings--User Manager. Then we highlighted a user and selected Properties. When the User Properties window displayed, we rekeyed the Password and Confirm Password fields and clicked on OK. However, the passwords did NOT change. After several attempts, we finally tried the old fashioned(?) 'usermod' approach, and it too failed. Finally, we deleted the users and readded them with the proper passwords. What is up with this Are we missing something in the procedure? I'm assuming that you logged in as user1, and then tried to modify the password of user2.

Re: how to enable root in telnet?
I believe that you'll need to edit /etc/securetty. However, to be quite honest, that's just a really bad idea. A much better idea is to telnet in as yourself, and either su to root, or use sudo. An even better idea is to not use telnet, at all, but SSH instead, and then use either su or sudo.

Re: Best place for this script to run...
Best bet is probably to insert a call to the script at the end of your rc.local file, probably with a at the end of the command line, and then have the script start with a wait 300 to give you the five minute wait you're looking for. On Mon, 27 Jan 2003, Robert Adkins wrote: Hello All, I have a script that I need to run at startup that will wait for a significant amount of time and then execute on the servers. Basically, I need both servers to run this script at boot and mount up drives on the other server, in cases of power outages. What I am thinking about doing is putting a line into the rc.sysinit file at the end of the file that will run the script and put it into the background. The script would then wait about 5 minutes, which is a little longer then it takes for the servers to reboot, then it will attempt to mount the NFS share on the other server. After that, it will attempt to list the contents, if it receives '0' then it will rerun, waiting another 5 minutes or so (perhaps adding up a counter and logging the attempts each time, with a date stamp) until it fails at least 3 or 4 times. After that point, the script will E-mail the admin and exit. Basically, what I am asking is whether or not this is a good place to put the launching of this script?

Copying over the user files is a good start, but I would consider running the new machine in parallel for a test. Can you get the old machine to send copies of all incoming e-mail to the new machine, and make sure it will accept them properly? That would test that the UIDs and all survived the tarring and still make sense on the new machine. If that works, then take what you know and learned to make the new machine compatible with the old one, then cleanly take down the old machine off line as you currently do for maintenance, rsync any new changes to spool, shadow, etc., on the old machine over the the new, then quick switch identities (IP address, host name) to the new machine and bring it up.

Re: cable modem
Ok...let's reapproach this thing. I'm going to assume that you have a network card in your computer, and you've attached the ethernet cable...the one that came with the cable modem...between the ethernet card in your computer and the ethernet port on the cable modem. I'm also going to assume that your cable ISP is using dhcp, and not login authentication (PPPoE) in order for you to hook up to the net. Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 in your favorite editor (I usually use vi or pico, myself), and make sure it has the following in it: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes That's it...save and close the file. Make sure that the cable modem is hooked up to the cable, to the ethernet, and is powered on and has all of its necessary lights lit.
