I've begun experimenting with Fedora Directory Server as a centralized user information & authentication server in a "Linux Domain". I've managed to get F8 clients to logon via fds and also to automatically create the users home folder if doesn't exist. On the mail server, Postfix is configured...

I have this peculiar problem in F8 where the configuration tools do not let me choose a resolution higher than 800x600 even though I have selected a monitor capable of doing 1440x900. Manually hacking the xorg.conf file, putting in my monitor's H/V sync values and the desired resolution in the...

I've got a 16GB YUV video file that has a corrupted header. I'm trying to manually fix the header by editing it by hand but none of the editors (vi/vim, gedit, hexedit, etc) seem to be able to handle a file that big. Any recommendations? --== Anything can go wrong. It's just a matter of how far...

We have plans to convert our whole organization into using Linux on our desktops by the end of the year. All our file, web, ftp, mail, domain, DNS/DHCP/WINS servers etc have already been converted over to Linux for a good year or so without much hassle. We have started a pilot project with one...

Is it possible for me to alias a column with data from another table and sorting it using a direct SQL statement. Example: Table: diagnosis +--------+--------------------------------------+ | name | diag | +--------+--------------------------------------+ |...

I have received an inquiry from a architech/design firm that has heard about improving their work by having a linux render farm and are interested in having one setup for them. A bit of searching in the internet shows a few renderers, most notably yafray, povray & renderman that run on Linux...

For software RAID, we just need to keep a backup of our RAID array config file. So, if we format and re-install the root partition, we can build the RAID array from the saved config file. Just wanted to know how do we (if possible) go about re-create logical volumes, keeping the data on it...

Is it possible to rotate X display 90 degs so that it displays in portrait mode rather the our usual landscape mode? --== Anything can go wrong. It's just a matter of how far wrong it will go till people think its right. ==--

I'm setting up a workstation running Gentoo and I'm installing samba. I was looking for winbind but I think it's not built during emerge. How do I go about passing a build parameter like --with-winbind to emerge? I had once tried porthole and it had options that I could tweek for each package. I...

When I compile programs from source, I noticed that the compile options seem a bit random, i.e. some progs compile with -O2, some -O3 while other might be -march=i586 or -march=i686. How does the make or configure command determine what options to use? Is there a general config file like...

I'm currently evaluating Gentoo for a new server of mine. In order to have flexible disk allocation, I'm trying have all my partitions as logical volumes except /boot and swap. I've built lvm support directly into the kernel. During boot up however, I get a VFS: Cannot open root device...

The company I work for is considering using LDAP to consolidate all of our employees/customers/vendors contacts and addresses into a single source. All updates will also be done to that one source. We are also looking into the possibilities of using LDAP as part of our domain authentication...

I have a server with 2 similar HDDs. I usually use dd to clone 1 HDD to another every night. I had just recently thought of using rsync to just copy the difference between the 2 drives to quicken my backups and to avoid unmouting the source drive. Due to my recent use of dd, I had mistakenly run...

Do not know if the error below from my DHCP server is whats causing all my windows machines in my domain not being registered in my DNS. I've noticed that if I set a DNS suffix on my win2k machines, they register with no problems. dhcpd: if KCTAN.domain.com IN A rrset doesn't exist add...

I'm trying to copy a 4.2GB file from a FC2 workstation to a win2k server. However, when I've transferred only about 2GB, I get the error "File size limit exceeded". At first I thought it was a win2k issue, but I got the same error transferring to our RH9 file server. Is this a known limitation...

I have a few Mix-Mode CDs that I wish to make disc images of. I've tried using dd, however, only the data track is read. Next, I used cdrdao. This time, cdrdao creates a bin & a cue file but I'm unable to burn the image back to a CD-R. cdrdao complains that the cue file has errors. Finally...

I've got a server that was just recently put under my care. This server has 3 SCSI drives running FC2. The drives are partitioned as so: sda: sda1 - /boot sda2 - Physical Volume sda3 - swap sdb: sdb1 - Physical Volume sdc: sdc1 - Physical Volume vg00: sda2 & sdb1 lv00: sda2 & sdb1 as / I...

Is there any way to create a DOS bootdisk/bootcd from Linux? --== Anything can go wrong. It's just a matter of how far wrong it will go till people think its right. ==--

I've downloaded kernel 2.6.6 and compiled everything as normal on my RH9 box. I've also updated the module utilities module-init-tools-3.0. However, booting into this new kernel, none of the modules will load automatically. lsmod after booting shows nothing loaded. I have to do insmod for all...
