Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to automate the use of scp in a script? I'd like to be able to write a quick script that the user could call like: "cpfile $1" where the user specifies the filename that they'd like to copy over. (I know that I can do the same thing with...

Hi Katherine, The /etc/hosts.equiv file is where you can define other systems that will be allowed to execute commands without supplying a password. It's also worth noting that there is no encryption over this connection either. As such, it can be a very dangerous thing to do if the system...

Good information guys, & much appreciated. I did reboot the server, but I haven't tried the uninstall/re-install routine yet. Thanks again! T.

Let me preface this by stating that I am in NO way a DBA/SQL expert, nor do I play one on TV... I do networking, & work with SQL server just enough to hopefully keep it running until the knowledgeable folk show up. At a VIP's request, I went to apply SP3 in order to address the issues raised...

Hello, I need to find out what the CPU speed is on an old box we have sitting around here. It's an older RS/6000 (591) running AIX 4.3.3.0. I've been able to get all of the hardware info I needed (except that) by running 'lscfg -v', but I didn't see anything that would tell me how fast the...

OK, in an attempt to avoid asking a question that's just recently been answered, I've just gone through the subject lines of the last 1000+ messages in this forum - so I'm fairly confident that this hasn't been addressed recently... Is it possible for me to block all messages on the server that...

That's exactly what I was looking for - THANKS!! That's going to make a couple of my users quite happy today! T.

Hi all, just a fairly simple question (probably), but I've not yet found the answer... Is it possible to set something on Exchange 5.5 so that all messages from a particular domain are denied? I've kept track of all of the traffic from the domain in question, & so far there's not been a single...

Hi all, I have Nagios (http://www.nagios.org/) installed on one of my Linux boxes so that I can keep track of the different systems on my network, but the Linux machine in question doesn't have a web server configured. Given the fact that the status reports from Nagios are the only things...

Yes, it's all on the same internet connection. FWIW, the mail server runs M$ Exchange, and I'm not seeing anything in the logs to tell me that it is dropping the messages... I just wonder what path the mail is taking, whether it's hitting the Exchange server, or whether it's hitting the...

Never mind, I found it - see my post in the WinXP forum for the link...

Just for the record, I found the newer version of the Adminpak file that works with XP. If anyone else needs it, it can be found at the link below... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q304718 (Does this mean that I can mark my own post as "helpful"??) T.

I guess the subject says it all, I need to find out if it's possible to install WINS Manager (used to monitor NT/2000 servers) on a system that's running WinXP Professional. My boss just got a new system, & he's accustomed to being able to resolve IP addresses to hostnames at his desk...

Hi all, I'm trying to use the 'mail' program to notify me (& a couple other admins) of the output of a cron job, but I've not found out how to specify the IP address of the server that we use to route mail internally. The command I'm using is: echo <foo> | mail -s &quot;Output from...

Outstanding, that worked beautifully, thank you! Now I've just discovered that that won't work on my boss's PC, does anyone know of a similar trick for XP Professional?
