    Oracle Names v.8

    Speaking of which, can you point me to where can I find configuration info on Names Server provided by the Oracle7.3. We would like to move some Db's to other servers but can't find the information on how to reconfigure oracle name server. Thanks, ~jdk hp-ux sys.admin Dare to Dream!

    Linux HW/SW question

    Thanks Morsing, I've been studying up on Linux. I do hp-ux at present, but I think that's about to change. I figure a lot of the "particulars" will fall out when I get an install of linux going. Thanks again! ~jdk hp-ux sys.admin Dare to Dream!

    lpsched as non-root user

    Although I believe you could go the suid route, I would suggest using "Restricted SAM". Check out man sam look toward the bottom for "Restricted SAM". ps: my group setting on lpsched is bin (10.20) ~jdk hp-ux sys.admin Dare to Dream!

    SU password

    I did something similar for batch testing purposes. (Our prod batch runs via root cron) As long as the new "newuser" UID (0) is password protected and the script cannot be modified/replaced by anyone other than those intended, it sounds safe to me! ~jdk hp-ux sys.admin Dare to...

    Telnet error

    Dang, it's an hp-ux command "install special files".... I'm not sure, but they might get recreated at boot. You could make a backup copy and see if a boot recreates. ~jdk Dare to Dream!

    Telnet error

    A colleague offers; This might be due to the "corrupted" telnet device files. Try to recreated them, see if it helps .. # cd / # rm /dev/pty/* # rm /dev/pts/* # insf -e # cd /dev # insf -d telm # insf -d tels ~jdk Dare to Dream!

    Telnet error

    Hi mgrun, Are you attempting to telnet to red on port 13782? Try using the command "telnet red" or "telnet red 23" OR "telnet red.domainname" "telnet red.domainname 23". hp-ux sys-admin ~jdk Dare to Dream!

    SU password

    Soma, another option is to use SUDO. SUDO is a root controlled program that can do wonderful things with euid/suid etc. I was a bit aprehensive until I tried it, now I don't know how I did without it! If you have trouble grasping the man pages, be sure to look at the sample.sudoers file for help...

    What is lsof? Is it a good tool?

    Hi BGreen, In hp-ux, you could use "fuser -cu /dir". BTW- I agree with Morsing, lsof is extreeemly handy tool for sure! http://hpux.tn.tudelft.nl/ ~jdk Dare to Dream!

    tar script

    Whoops make that "2" "stderr" ZZZzzzzzzz ~jdk

    tar script

    Try taking out the "v" verbose. i.e. tar -cf /dev/rmt/0m /usr /opt /db2 1>/dev/null 2>/tmp/tar.err The "2" or "stdout" is listing all files/block sizes you are tar'ing. ~jdk
