They were talking about LAuS (Linux Audit Subsystem). I'm not sure exactly what they were talking about, but by default auditd keeps 4 (preallocated) 20M binary files in which it stores it's audit info. When one of the binary files fills up, it writes the data to a unique file (save.1, save.2, etc

1. Should be fine for a basic server. If you load up a bunch of X-based stuff, you may start running out of room. 2. Are you using lvm? If so, see e2fsadm. If not, I use parted to resize the underlying partition, then resize2fs to resize the filesystem itself. -Original Message- Fro

I don't ever use the "crontab" command on Linux. Put the command you want cron to execute in a small shell script, and drop the shell script in /etc/cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly, or cron.monthly. Look at /etc/crontab to see when the script will be run. If you want it to run at some other

I believe you're thinking of VMotion, which is available for their ESX product. It allows you to move a guest from one ESX server to another on-the-fly. It doesn't require the guest to be shut down or quiesced in any way, just that the source and destination ESX servers have shared DASD and are l

Did you ever try the --excludepath OLDPATH option, which means "Don't install any files whose name begins with OLDPATH"? I wonder if you could use that option when you installed the software on the other guests who have /usr r/o, e.g. RPM --excludepath /usr . Maybe that would tell RPM to only in

tar is telling you that it's ignoring the Unix-domain sockets in postfix/private. The sockets are created by the application (postfix) when it starts, so there's no point in adding them to the tarball. -Tim -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf

What makes you think sysctl.conf isn't being read at boot time? It should be. I don't have a SLES system in front of me, but on Red Hat, the /etc/rc.sysinit script applies the settings in sysctl.conf to the running kernel. SLES probably has a similar init script. -Original Message- From

Use sed or ed. I generally prefer sed. for example, to change the ip address: go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory assuming your ethernet interface is eth0, do this: sed -i.old s/192.168.1.1/192.168.2.2/ ifcfg-eth0 This will edit ifcfg-eth0 in place, change the ip address 192.168.1.1 t

Try running Xnest on your Linux desktop (it's in the XFree86-Xnest package on Red Hat, not sure what the equivalent is on SLES). It's basically an xserver that is nested within another xserver, and it just appears as another window on your intel linux desktop. You could run your mainframe Linux K
