disable autofs timeout
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hi, Does setting the autofs timeout=0 create a permanent mount? What I'm trying to do is get the best of both world; 1) Have a persistent mount so that users can use autocompletion. 2) utilize the benefits of autofs so that when an NFS resource becomes unavailable, the system doesn't hang. I've tried a timeout of 0 but it doesn't seem to work.

clients obtaining dhcp addys slowly
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hi all, This is unusual for me to observe. I've a dhcp server running on Centos 5.3 and it takes a while to answer clients asking for an address. This is playing some havoc with certain scripts at startup not fully working because of the address delay. I've even used a dhcp helper address type function in my Juniper router but nothing has changed. Any ideas?

mail server best practices question
by Coert 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hello all, About a year ago I set up a mail server on CentOS using this howto: http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html I managed to add amavisd-new with clamav and spamassassin. It runs very well, but it runs on CentOS 5.2, and if I try to upgrade, amavisd-new and clamav break. we are now also at the point where a backup mx will need to be implemented. If necessary I am willing to implement a new mail server and a new backup mx. What I would like to know is what solution you guys would recommend for the mail server and the backup MX? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Coert

by hadi motamedi 11 May '10

11 May '10

Dear All >From my previous posts , I learned from you to make use of 'sort' , 'grep' , and 'grep -v' to manipulate text files . At now, I have generated a large text file from my autoexpect script. To be more specific, I need to find how many distinct records are there in say column#1? How can I filter out the distinct records with number of occurances less than a pre-determined threshold?Can you please show my the power of CentOS in manipulating text files? Thank you

tracing the source of a sector error from smartd
by nate 10 May '10

10 May '10

I'm not used to using smartd, but have a new set of systems that don't have any sort of RAID on them, so I enabled smartd (18 systems 4 SATA drives each). Running CentOS 5.4 64-bit .. One of them has emailed me twice(despite it saying it would only email me once) saying it has 1 Offline uncorrectable sectors But when I try to find more information, smartctl seems to think everything is fine. === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: WDC WD1002FBYS-18W8B0 Serial Number: WD-WMATV5930306 Firmware Version: 03.00C09 User Capacity: 1,000,204,886,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Mon May 10 16:36:22 2010 PDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Any ideas? thanks nate

10 May '10

Does someone have any info on this service. It's supposed to configure and have the tools to communicate with the ibm RSA. I am looking for a procedure to configure the RSA without using the bios and when possible set a access password. Is this the right tool to do this or am i misunderstanding something. Regards Janez
