making my own dist. ? ?

2002-03-12 Thread Adam craig
Hello,

I've 3 servers to install - not the same hardware but the software needs to be 
the same.
I have installed the first server and got everything working the way I want it 
to.
My problem is that I need to use interbase with php4 and I can't get it to work 
with php4.1.x - the most recent version it will work with is php4.0.6.
Now using apt-move get;apt-move move, I have a copy on hard drive of all the 
packages I need to install the other 2 servers.
My idea was to update the first server direct from the internet, test, then 
(apt-move get/move) update the 2 other servers from the first server. So how 
can I disable any updates relating to php4 ?
Or should I (can I ?) create my own php4.deb and change some config. file (that 
I haven't yet found) so that my version will always be the most recent for me ?
I'm sure this must be a fairly common situation - any suggestions would be 
greatly appreciated.

Backup software and dhcp

2002-04-09 Thread Adam craig
Hi all,

My first question is what are people using in the way of backup software ?
I backup 80 Giga every night to a DLT 7000 and I'm using Arcserve from CAI but 
I don't trust Arcserve 100 % (especially with this quantity of data). Any 
happy/horror stories welcome (I need something that can run the library/loader 
too).

Second question, can anybody tell me if it is possible to set up a dhcp server 
on 2 machines in such a way that when the main machine goes down (and only when 
it goes down) the backup will automatically serve dhcp requests ? I can see how 
I could do it with scripts,cron and rsync but if it's already been done . . .

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Adam

Re: Permissions and Remote Printing

I have hosts specified in my hosts.lpd - don't know
about "+" maybe it's enough.
However there is another file /etc/lpd.perms which I
had to edit to get things working the way they had
when I switched from redhat to debian.
