SCSI - SATA device name conflict

2007-05-28 Thread Greg Trounson
Hello, I have an Athlon64 Etch box running a backported 2.6.20 kernel. 2.6.20 is necessary to fix a broken LAN driver in 2.6.18. The root file system is on partition 3 of the only present SATA drive, sda. When I connect an LTO Tape drive to the PCI SCSI controller this tape drive at next boo

2.6.20 kernel in unstable?

2007-02-18 Thread Greg Trounson
Any idea when kernel 2.6.20 is going to show up in Sid? The most recent version I see in Sid is 2.6.18-4. Both 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 have a critical cifs bug that makes any machine that mounts windows shares pretty much unusable. thanks, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with

Purging mailboxes in mutt

Gidday, I'm running a Sarge server with Postfix/Procmail/Dovecot and Maildir style mailboxes. I have a number of users that want to use a local text-based mail reader from time to time. Pine is no longer an option, so I've shifted to Mutt. I almost have it working, but can't figure out one

Massive load average, can't log in

2005-12-06 Thread Greg Trounson
Hi there, This morning I noticed that my Etch box wouldn't let me start up a web browser window. Odd I thought, so I took a look at the load average, which was sitting at 210! Some processes such as vi or firefox can no longer launch, but some simpler ones such as ps or top can still be run

Pam and winbind

Hi, I'm running a Sarge box that I want to authenticate against a Win 2003 Server. I understand that the old RH way of doing it was to use pam_smb_auth.so, which was easy to set up but inherently insecure. So, I've configured pam, winbind and samba, but obviously not quite correctly. When
