You could run under KVM/Virtualbox/Vmware, etc. on your own hardware. If you have any internet exposure you can't expect to survive long without update support, though. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Virtualization of a production environment
by Dan Hyatt 14 May '14

14 May '14

I need to virtualize a server, but this needs to be stable enough for production. What are the advantages/disadvantages of the different hypervisers with CENTOS ESXi (vmware) XEN KVM Primarily I will be running Centos6.4 there may or may not be a windows server. I need stability as this will be production. I will not need the equivalent of V Motion, but would like to be able to do a physical to virtual would like the capability of snapshots and to be able to backup as files on storage (I cannot do boot from SAN, but this will be SAN attached). -- Thanks, Dan

Which by now should be accounted one of the most loathsome and accursed words of the 21C.; right up there with surveillance. Suggestion: Pick a standard date that bears no discernible relationship to you and over or understates your age from ~5-20 years (or more) and use it whenever a BD is required (for security reasons and/or account recovery). I use 1901/01/01 or, for sites where that date is out of range, 1950/01/01. If your sex is also required then use transgendered and let them sort it out. <--- RANT follows P.S.

semi-OT: anyone into setup.py?
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 13 May '14

13 May '14

I'm trying to patch this package that I'm rpmbuilding, and its setup.py does not link a library for one extension that it dies if it doesn't have. Note that ldd is fooled, because there's a declaration, so it says everything is fine... but without a definition, it dies, and that's in the other library.... Feel free to contact me offlist. mark

find with exclude directory
by Tim Dunphy 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hey all, I'm trying to do a find of all files with the phrase 'varnish' in the name, but want to exclude a user home directory called /usr/local/digitalplatform. Here's what I was able to come up with: find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name "*varnish*" Which results in this: [root@uszmpwsls014lb ~]# find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name "*varnish*" | grep digitalplatform /usr/local/digitalplatform/.bash_logout /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-2.1.5.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/.viminfo /usr/local/digitalplatform/.ssh /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-1360.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/.emacs /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnishncsa-init /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-sysconfig-stg /usr/local/digitalplatform/memcached-1.4.7.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/.bash_profile /usr/local/digitalplatform/.mozilla /usr/local/digitalplatform/.subversion /usr/local/digitalplatform/.bashrc /usr/local/digitalplatform/.zshrc /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-sysconfig /usr/local/digitalplatform/default.vcl /usr/local/digitalplatform/1360-apache-stage.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/.bash_history /usr/local/digitalplatform/memcached-1.4.7 /usr/local/digitalplatform/httpd.conf /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-2.1.5 /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish_reload_vcl /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-prod.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-init /usr/local/digitalplatform/1360-stage-apache.tar.gz I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong, and how I can best achieve the desired results?

Change server name in postfix configuration
by Joseph Hesse 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hi, A consultant, long gone, set up postfix, dovecot, amavisd and squirrelmail for my wife. It works fine but my wife wants to change the server name from old.com to new.com so the name is more appropriate for her business. My approach would be to use sed to change all occurences of old.com to new.com. Specifically, I used grep to identify the following files where I should make the changes. /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf /etc/squirrelmail/config.php /etc/amavisd.conf /etc/sysconfig/network (change host name) In addition, there would be an MX record for mail.new.com pointing to the IP of the server. My question is, will this work or will I corrupt my email server? If I mess it up I can always restore it to the original. Thank you, Joe

Samba problem
by Joseph Hesse 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hello, My only hard drive failed on a private server so I had to replace it and reinstall Centos 6.5 and Samba. My smb.conf file is OK according to "testparm". I configured smb and nmb, with chkconfig, to start when the system boots. After the system boots if I do "service nmb status" I get the response "nmbd dead but pid file exists". I can delete the pid file manually and start nmb with "service nmb start". The problem is that when the system shuts down and restarts I still find that "nmbd dead but pid file exists". Any suggestions on how to fix the problem would be much appreciated. Thank you, Joe
