rsync vs scp

2011-12-16T14:17:00.001-08:00

Remember not to try to rsync like scp, DO NOT SPECIFY PATH, instead look at the [] sections in rsyncd.conf called MODULES and use the below syntax

rsync * 192.168.1.1::MODULE_NAME

REMEMBER YOU ASS

Also to see which group policies are in effect in the domain look at gpresult /v >gposettings.txt

vmware converter helper server error

2011-07-16T06:23:00.000-07:00

When vmware can not find the vmware helper server for conversion make sure that

1. conveter and esx server and the machine being converted are on the same lan (check the vlan property before converting)

2. the vlan on which the helper and these other machines are does have a DHCP server on, otherwise configure static IP for the helper

automount a specific directory with autofs

2011-06-21T03:13:00.001-07:00

this is what we do
first umount your directory then mount the location you want to another directory and later create a symbolic link with the name you need

umount /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.26/information-repository

rmdir /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.26/information-repository

vi /etc/auto/master
/usr/local/mounts /etc/auto.nfs

vi /etc/auto.nfs
m_29 -fstype=nfs,rw 192.168.0.29:/u01/information-repository

mkdir /usr/local/mounts/m_29

ln -s /usr/local/mounts/m_29 /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.26/information-repository

mount with UUID

2011-06-17T22:52:00.001-07:00

get a blkid to find the UUID of the device you are after then in /etc/fstab do like this:

UUID=41c22818-fbad-4da6-8196-c816df0b7aa8 /disk1 ext3 defaults 0 0

linux iptables SNAT

2010-10-23T00:36:00.000-07:00

you do not have to have the ip address of a machine behind iptables set on the gateway machine before you can SNAT with the ipaddress of the machine behind the firewall. In other words you can keep your valid ip address on the machine behind the gateway and still ask your gateway to SNAT with that IP.

Visio add text to shape with yellow dot

2010-10-20T02:59:00.000-07:00

In detail, it goes something like this:

1. Create or select a shape (duh!)

2. Open the ShapeSheet via Window > Show ShapeSheet

Go to: Insert > Section and check Controls and Text Transform (if it isn’t grayed out)

You should now see both the Controls section and the Text Transform section in the ShapeSheet.

3. In the Text Transform section, set the TxtPin cells as follows:

TxtPinX = Controls.Row_1.X

TxtPinY = Controls.Row_1.Y

4. In the drawing window, reposition the control handle to a suitable default position. The text should follow along!

2010-08-09T06:38:00.000-07:00

for terminal services to work behind an iptables firewall, if the terminal server does not have a valid IP address, a full cone nat is required, which in iptables terms means that you need both a PREROUTING and a POSTROUTING statement.

Remote upgrade linux RHEL redhat 3 to 4

2009-10-11T04:06:00.000-07:00

1. mount the installation cd and copy vmlinuz and initrd.img to /boot renaming them to vmlinuz_remote and initrd_remote.img
2. vi /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.4.21-15.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.EL ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.21-15.EL.img
title Remote Install
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz_remote ks=hd:hda1:/ks.cfg vnc vncconnect=192.168.162.1 ramdisk_size=8192
initrd /initrd_remote.img

replace the above devices with the ones on your system(hd:hda1->points to /boot)
3. vi /boot/ks.cfg
#System language
lang en_US
#Language modules to install
langsupport --default=en_US
#System keyboard

#System mouse

#network
network --bootproto static --ip 192.168.162.129 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.162.1 --nameserver 192.168.162.1 --hostname l
#Use interactive kickstart installation method
interactive
#Use hard drive installation media USE YOUR OWN HARDDRIVE
harddrive --dir=/iso --partition=hda2 #replace with your own device (this points to /)
bootloader --location=mbr
#Reboot after installation
reboot
#Upgrade existing installation
upgrade
%pre

#!/bin/sh

mkdir /tmp/boot # create mount point
#-USE YOUR OWN HARDDRIVE ADDR
# mount filesystem on /dev/sda1 onto /tmp/boot (hiding mount's boot dir)
# /dev/hda1 point to /boot
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /tmp/boot
# so below here /tmp/boot/... is actually /boot/... on harddrive device
# 'date' preserves original grub.conf through multiple boot attempts
cp /tmp/boot/grub/grub.conf /tmp/boot/grub/grub.conf.$(date"+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S")
cp /tmp/boot/grub/grub.conf /tmp/boot/grub/grub.sve
cp /tmp/boot/grub/grub.bak /tmp/boot/grub/grub.conf

4. put your CD or DVD iso in /iso, they can be multiple isos

5. just to be safe try loading the second option to grub you just added once as below, so if things went wrong you can come back

echo "savedefault --default=1 --once" | grub --batch
reboot

multiple domain controllers (DC) on the same LAN

2009-03-14T05:29:00.000-07:00

Use the DHCP of one of the DCs and split the LAN into 2 SUB-LANS
this is done using a superscope in the DHCP of domain controller.

- one scope 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.128
- another scope 192.168.1.128/255.255.255.128

The two sub scopes will not be able to access one another

Put one of the servers in first scope and the other in the second one.

In the scope options each have their own DNS and default route

To make the clients become a member of a certain scope fix the clients MAC address and create a reservation
