6.5 single user mode
by Steve Clark 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hello List, I want to boot into single user mode and run a script automatically. I have been looking for a couple of hours and have found one solution I don't like. How can I get the shell that is started in single user mode to run a script. My one solution was to add a profile in /etc/profile.d/ that called the script. Is this the only way to do it? Thanks, -- Stephen Clark *NetWolves* Director of Technology Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark(a)netwolves.com http://www.netwolves.com

what is: ImageDecoder
by Fred Smith 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I'm suddenly noticing multiple threads named "ImageDecoder" showing up in the output of top (when threads are turned on with "H"). I've no clue what this is, and haven't found out much about it by searching. Can someone tell me what it is, and if it's doing anything useful or just wasting cycles? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." ------------------------------ Matthew 7:21 (niv) -----------------------------

virtualisation
by Ridhwaan Mayet 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hi, I run a small company and I would like to virtualise our setup. My internet provider offers a cloud server running CentOS. The server is managed by vmware software, they haven't been able to tell me exactly what. I wanted to know is it possible to virtualise such a setup, and Have CentOS running as the virtual OS that every client sees. Is there a solution similar to vmware view + client for CentOS servers?

died again
by Michael Hennebry 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

CentOS 6.4 died on me again. Didn't leave any traces that I could find. The screen just suddenly went black. Couldn't switch to another virtual terminal. Pushing the reset button worked. Didn't have to power off this time. -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily

odd automount issue
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

We're seeing, in the log, automount trying (and failing) to mount a few directories NFS in the middle of the night. For example: 03:49:50 <my own workstation> automount[7872]: key "httpd" not found in map source(s) It doesn't seem to be triggered by the pen testers, nor by logs (I think), so we're all at a loss to guess what's triggering this. Anyone have any thoughts on it? Most of our systems are 6.5, btw. mark

I want to ask about some Kernel level operations.
by Eliezer Croitoru 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

I want to make sure that while compiling as root nothing will break down inside the machine. I want to compile software on a Xeon SERVER. The basic issue is that there is a recommendation to not compile it as a root user. I have compiled software as a root user more then once and I am not sure why would there is a need to run it as non-root user? I have taken a look at the /proc/ FS but I do not see anything that can harm anything yet. From my aspect it's just background of electricity noise. I will be happy to hear from experience of others about it. Thanks, Eliezer

[OT] ssh and security DVR
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Does anyone have any "security appliance" DVR, and can you a) telnet or b) ssh into it? Also, I have read that on a lot of the low-end ones, like Swann, port 9000 is completely open, but it's not clear to me from the hack post <http://console-cowboys.blogspot.com/2013/01/swann-song-dvr-insecurity.html> whether I could ssh in there, or rsync from a server through that port. mark
