Hi Iago, the difference between "du" an "df" often occurs because "du" neends to inspect all the inodes on that specific file system. Some of them might be not readable for the account you're working with due to permission bit settings. Unfortunately "du" doesn't report this lack of permission...

Hi Clairvoyant1332! Although almost one year went by I post this to ask you whether you found a solution at last. I'm working on the same thing (trying to "snoop" on localhost). Tried also ethereal but both of them refused that particular interface ("No such file or directory")). Hope to...

you don't need to compile sudo. The sunfreeware sites provides you with a package SMCsudo which is easily installed with "pkgadd".

Hi Gregory, the man page sshd_config states that the option RSAAuthentication only applies to version 1. So if the remote server is strictly bound to protocol 2 (you wrote ssh(2) which means protocol 2, right?) there is no way to force him speaking protocol 1. On the other hand presumed the...

Well, setting these options to "yes" results in relying on the rather insecure authentication model that is used by the aged r services (rsh, rlogin etc.) The defaults were set well considered and one should decide which model he relies on in the future. Otherwise there is frankly no need for...

Hi, keep in mind that priv/pub keys should reside in ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub respectively. Pub key of host1 has to be in .ssh/authorized_keys sited on host2 and pub key of host2 has to be in .ssh/authorized_keys on host1. The file names are default names. If you choose another one...

Just read the man page (man crontab).

Hi kippy13, hi bcastner, obviously I did a wrong translation (my english isn't that good). I thought shortcut is to be understood as using a keystroke instead of fiddling with mouse clicks. The installation I'm dealing with is a german one and the thing here is called...

Hi Kippy13, 1. There are no error messages. 2. The links are pointing to a program in a local folder (C:\...\Desktop\myProgram.exe) 3. same as 2. Greetings.

Hi there, I had to migrate from NT to XP on my working place. After the migration the short cuts for .lnk files on my desktop do not work any more. The funny thing is, that I can reactivate this funcionality by changing the links properties. First deleting and then reassigning it's short cut...

This is a matter of infrastructure and it's design. Of course there are quick and dirty "solutions" for that. But you have to take into account the group of users, that will use the root account (which shhould be as small as possible) and how you implement password management in...

Try "ps" with options "pcpu" and "time": ps -e -o pid -o time -o pcpu -o args Look out for the one with the highest value.

Lucky you are Ygor, under Solaris the ksh man page doesn't mention that. Where did you get that from? mdet.

Hi Tikual, now I'm stricly on Korn Shell and modified the Skript (just grep'ing the output of "set"): #!/usr/bin/ksh set|grep ARRAY Command Line Input: $unset ARRAY # to be sure nothing's there $set -A ARRAY first second $export ARRAY $./test.sh $ARRAY=first Well, obviously ARRAY...

Mercy Jean Pierre! it's not a straightforward or elegant solution but it works fine. Tikual, I have to apologize, you're right my command line shell is the Z-shell (thanks for your hint I forgot) and a comparison of ksh and zsh man pages revealed differences in referencing arrays and it's...
