To change it in prom do this: setenv local-mac-address? true This makes the box use the nics mac address's. If they are all on one subnet I would do this as I have seen problems...

Not sure if this helps, but you could just add something like this: if condition is met then cat message.file | mailx youremail@domain.com

you can always check the /var/adm/messages file, or the syslog files for any kernel or system messages. NT I dont think would log this kind of stuff, you could check the Event viewer. How are these box's connected? Are they all connected to the same switch, etc.? You can try and do a ping...

I tend to prefre to use packages on production machines over untarring and having to compile. Not that compling is a bad thing, but if you can deal with having the files put in default locations, I would use packages. Now if you need to do customizations, such as installing libraries to a diff...

Hello, I have sshd 1.5 (have to run older version due to stuf out of my control) I want to enable X forwarding. I uncommaned the lines in /usr/local/etc/sshd_config: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 I restarted sshd and upon logging in again, my DISPLAY variable is still null. Do I...

There are alot of ways to do it, shell or perl would be your main bets. Using a quick grep on the sh: cat file.txt | grep -v 'my name' > file.txt Sed has a delete operator as well, so does awk

Hello. Normally I do ufsdumps to tape, then when I need a file i just rewind the device to the appropriate point and do a ufsrestore pointing to the tape device file. How can I copy the .dmp file off of the tape, would I use dd to do that?, or is there a better tool. Tks!

YOu could also use truss to see where the error occurs..

You can look at the sysdef and the /usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag commands.

Actually, I did reseat the cards and rebooted, they were picked up (both of them). Tks!! JC

I used the card in another OS, they both worked. I will try the BIOS thing, as I cant think what else it could be besides a hardware conflict, but wouldnt that be logged at boot? Thanks for the post/reply! JC

I think its because they can right now, although this may change soon. Thier disks,memory,controllers are nuts. Has anyone ever fired up Linux on a nice Dell Poweredge with a Perc raid controller?, works like a charm for a HUGE fraction of the price. I truly believe Linux is headed for good...

Greetings, I am running Suse 7.3 and added a 3com 3c905c net card. My problem is that I already have a 3com 3c905c card in and its working. The new one does not show up at all. If I do an lspci it doesnt show up. Dmesg shows only eth0 and no eth1. The module used should be the same (3c95x). I...

What kind of password scheme are you using? I am assuming that you are not using Domain level security (IE you added the samba server to an NT/2000 based Domain.). If not do you have any users in the smbpasswd file? I think you need your Windows account in there. Else in the smb.conf file...
