you're welcome

hi

alphaser, hi

ed_mann: got something you'll enjoy
this 100GB drive is now dying
it is recognized but refuses to boot
question for everyone: how do i transfer my data from one drive to another?
i really don't want to re-install and re-configure what's already been done

bye

z00dax: hey, last night you said something about transferring LVM stuff from one drive to another... any chance that'd work going to a smaller drive too?

man tar

?

tar can easily help you move to a new drive
and so can dump
the only think you hve to do is recreate your partitions, and rewrite the bootloader to the mbr of the new disk

hi all
how can I make my centos system to know a domain's MX record is itself ?

By configuring your name service and your mailserver correctly.

question... is there a good GUI to configure almost everything?
like, no need to hack .conf files or anything
just point-and-click
(or even CLI that modifies the files for me)

No, not really. There are some system-config-foo programs who do that, but they don't do "everything":

mmm
yeah, i'm just getting tired of trying to remember all the different things i have to set up to get even relatively simple stuff to work
well
sort of simple

is pony awake ?
centos 5

(Action) checks the magic release ball....... leonel ..... CentOS 5 shall be released when it is ready. Beta news: http://www.karan.org/blog/index.php/2007/01/03/centos_5_first_install

good pony good pony

yes, I'm a good pony, thank you leonel, could I stomp Zathrus to show my appreciation?

I kind of messed around with my sound preferences. now i have completely no sound. Is there a config file I can automatically delete so it regenerates a new one or anything?

:) Linux newbie. How do I check a) what MTA is in use, b) what's happening with an e-mail my PHP script should have generated? (CentOS, H-Sphere)

DaveNotik: nmap ?

jbt: That a command?

take a gander at /var/log/maillog

DaveNotik: don't mind it, it doesn't give the MTA btw, default MTA is sendmail

So how on earth do I find out the MTA in use on my box?
Linux is unnecessarily complex, and I know that's an unsavory thing to say here.

DaveNotik: and its much less complex than windows, by at least on order of magnitude (count # of API calls)

Hi, there how can i setup a identd for my psybnc , eggdrop on my vps?

overseer: Thanks, guess it's qmail.

its oidentd?

uname -r would spit the kernel version?

Hi, there how can i setup a identd for my psybnc , eggdrop on my vps?

NetGangsta, are those a part of CentOS ??

yum install python dont work?

NetGangsta, python will usually be already installed
jbt, usually

bash: ./fauxident.py: /usr/local/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
...

NetGangsta, since when did python ever live there ??
what distro is this ??

but fauxident suck I need a ident server for CentOS
no one can hook me up?
with a identd server for CentOS?

NetGangsta: let me look
NetGangsta, did you try yum provides?

haHA
I have RAM!

anyone know how long the RHCE cert is valid for? I did mine with RHEL3.. when v5 comes out, do i have to resit or is that with v6?

joobie: with v5 I believe.

doh
thanks Evo..

I'm not 100% on that though

do you know when it's due out?

I've never bothered with rhce certs.

i do IT Consulting, so it's important :/

so do I :-P

end of the day, it's just a piece of paper

and no, it's not, depending on the client.
but I know where you're coming from.

it does depend on the client

last word I heard was around march

cheers evo

but I have no idea if that's accurate.

i hope it's prolonged, so i don't have to study
evo, got a website for your consulting?

if you're using RHEL/centos on a daily basis, you shouldn't really need to study.

I don't use it anymore daily
I use OSX

joobie: yep. http://www.gdit.com/

wow
some big money in your contracts
i just read that 21mill quote

I work for GDIT. they farm me out.
I've found it to be a good arrangement, because I like regular paychecks

ahh
i started my on consulting / it support business about 2 months ago
first time i gave up fulltime work in my career
it's very, different :)

good luck. I did that a while back, but it was a PITA.

thanks.. yea there is a lot of overhead to keep in mind when you run your own business I am finding out.

I'd rather spend all my time playing with hardware and telling people why I'm right and they're wrong.

heeh

let someone else shuffle paper and collect the cash.

I want to reach that level too
but be paying for both the people
while im sipping on gin and juice on an island
that's the plan.
:P

seems reasonable enough.

what technologies do you consult for Evo?

3d simulations, networking, training and education, and web services.

what web services Evo?
just curious..

portals, monitoring software (nagios), and educational software (to drive the 3d sims, and training packages)

ahh k
nagios is gold.

my current contract employer likes to use the term 'knowledge management'

have you stumbled into the nagios-exchange website?

which is a load of sh*t, but it pays the bills.

ehhe

yeah. I use some of their patches, but mostly I go more for IT groundwork's additions, and some snmp modules.

The validity period for all RHCEs and RHCTs is pegged to the release of the Enterprise product commercially available at the time certification was earned, and certification shall be current until after one (1) major release of the Enterprise product. Certificates earned on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 will be current until the release of Red Hat Enterprise 5.
that is from the redhat site btw, for your own knowledge
ahh

cool I guessed right.
I WIN

i have steered away from SNMP since all of those security issues years back

(Action) gives himself a victory beer.

i just back from cp eggdrop folder to another folder and now eggdrop only want start as root any know?

heeh
NetGangsta, advice #1 - don't run eggdrop as root

NetGangsta: I'd guess because you changed the permissions when you copied it.

joobie yea but read my question ...

and this isn't really the proper place for eggdrop support.

check the config file NetGangsta, I think there are references to module locations if my memory is right
you may need to update paths.

god I hate hard drive math....

what do you mean Evo?

1 500G HD = 465G before formatting.

ahh
