by Fajar Priyanto 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

Hi all, Can I VNC into an active session? I mean user can see what we do in their screen. Right now the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers is: VNCSERVERS="2:userku" VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600" I have vncpasswd for userku and restart vncserver. Then, can I vnc from another pc into the active session on the userku PC?

Samba doesn't mapping groups
by Cleber P. de Souza 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi, I was trying to setting a user with administrative access using the net groupmap add command and mapping the Domain Admins group for a local group with the users I want. After this using the command net user "username" /domain in a winxp machine the Domain Admins group doesn't appear in the list of groups of this user, only the Domain Users group. What could be? Any help? -- Cleber P. de Souza

SERVER DOWN, boots to "GRUB"
by Benjamin Smith 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

All that's seen on the screen is the four letters ''GRUB". I'm assuming that grub needs to be reloaded into HDD master boot record. (?!) What's the easiest way to do this? System is a Dual Opteron/64, DUAL SCSI 10K drives, configured with software RAID1. -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Iptables hangs at shutdown
by Jason Dixon 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi all- I have a Centos 3.6 server in production that hadn't been rebooted in quite some time. I was finally onsite today and took the chance to reboot into the most current kernel, but the box hung while "stopping iptables". Some Googling led me to one or two reports of systems hanging while the iptables initscript unloaded the modules. Has anyone else encountered this? I haven't seen anything in the archives to suggest this is a widespread (or even known) problem. Because this locks the system where I can't perform any other activities, it's near impossible to troubleshoot. Can anyone point to anything in the initscript that I might be able to disable as a workaround? Thanks, -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

We throw caution to the wind and run write-cache-enabled without a BBU, and still see a significant drop in performance compared to raid-1. >Right now I'm running Arkeia on it as the backup-to-disk, and in the >middle of the heaviest use I'm seeing about 50-60% I/O wait, horrible. >I'm hoping the write cache is going to help this a lot. (*) If you throw a sufficiently heavy (and multi-threaded) load at any disk array of this type, eventually you can drive a system to I/O-wait. On our systems, we look more at total disk throughput and characterization of workload (sequential vs. random access), rather than just I/O wait. Dave Let me know what you find.

IBM T42 Laptop
by Robert Spangler 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi, I just bought the above named Laptop and was wondering if there is anything I need to watch out for besides not having 3D acceleration because they use ATI grafic cards? Maybe the built in wireless card might not work too. Other then that can anyone think of anything else? Thnx -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value!
