Hi all,
When I run the cmd "date", I get UTC time on a fresh boot of an imaged
machine. I'd like to find a way to set the time to "America/New_York"
for automatically via script. A reboot is ok if absolutely needed but
not preferred.
I'm aware that I can run "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" but that

No need for awk/sed. Something like this should work.
#!/bin/bash

I'm not familiar with autofs but if you do a snmpwalk for OID

I think you want to use sh instead of exec. Quoting from the man page:
"The PROG argument for exec directives must be a full path to a real
binary, as it is executed via the exec() system call. To invoke a
shell script, use the sh directive instead."
Also, I'd double check to make sure the sc
Try running 'netstat -nat | grep 4965' and paste the output.
Also, try running iptables -L and post the output.
Try telnetting from the local machine that runs iptrans. Maybe something
is blocking the outbound traffic on that machine or somehow it's not
getting through.

Just want to reiterate that just because we're running Linux doesn't

that's what you're looking for). I tried looking around a few years ago for

Regarding the permissions, you need to make the mount point readable and
possibly writable by your users. There's many ways you can do go about
it, I'd do it via groups.
Here's an example:
'groupadd $GROUPNAME' # create new group
'usermod -G $GROU

Assuming you can install new packages, the mail command comes in the
package bsd-mailx. Otherwise, you can try using the Postfix sendmail
command. You'll probably have to read the man page as the flags are
different from mail.

There's two issues at play here.
1. DNS: I don't think you can CNAME a domain like that. For example, you
can't CNAME example.com but you can CNAME somehost.example.com. You have
to assign your domain the same A record as your other domain. Bind

I've never tried this but I assume it should be possible to use DNS to do basic
