I have a number directories under /opt on computer jack. I want some (not all) of them to appear in /opt on computer jill. I have the /opt directory on jack mounted on jill under /mnt/jack If I go into the /opt directory on jill and do this: ln -s /mnt/jack/opt/files . I get /opt/files/files on jill. What I want is /opt/files and I can't see what I'm doing wrong. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

I've gotten the task to setup a two server/node system for Oracle 10R2 with HA/failover. I've got a SAN connected to both servers. Any hints and tips? I've found the Cluster Suite Overview/Administration docs at http://www.centos.org/docs/5/. /Christopher

[OT]: Passing password for a command on the fly
by Mário Gamito 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hi, First things first, sorry for the off-topic, but I've already burned my eyes Googling and couldn't find the answer to what I need and I remembered asking here, because I'm a long time CentOS and its mailing list user. Again, my apologies. I have this command to create an FTP account: # pure-pw useradd mario -u 502 -g 502 -n 1000 -N 200 -d /home/pages/mario This command asks for the password twice. I need to pass the password (preferably without expect) so I can create the account without prompting. If i run: # echo secret | pure-pw useradd mario -u 502 -g 502 -n 1000 -N 200 -d /home/pages/gamito It reads the first insertion, but asks for the second. I knew how to do this a long time ago, but I've forgotten and couldn't find anything useful on Google. Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

OT DNS Question
by Clint Dilks 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hi Everyone, I am currently reviewing the DNS records for the organization I work for and have one area I would like other peoples thoughts on. Would there ever be a situation where you need to have multiple A records pointing to the same IP Address? Currently we have a small number of cases where one IP Address has multiple A Records. This seems like a bad idea to me and I would replace these records with cnames. But I am meeting resistance to this. As far as I can think right now if you have one correctly configured A record with a matching reverse entry and then use cnames there shouldn't be any cases where you must add a second A record. Or am I missing something ?
