Re: Recomended dual head video card

It's a older card though, so for gaming I wouldn't really recommend it... although the card works ok, 3D stuff is a tad on the slow side. For normal stuff it works great though, and 2 monitors are very cool.. which I was running under debian unstable with windowmaker. I run a G450 dual head, be warned there is a problem with gamma correction on the second head. From what I gather it is a hardware limitation. If you don't need gamma correction, not a problem. For my setup with BenQ FP951s, they were way too bright and the OSD wouldn't adjust down enough.

I'm looking at the home site of Nagios, and although it looks very promising, I can find the last missing piece of information: how does Nagios monitor the host? The only way I've ever seen nagios monitor internal system states (disc usage, cpu usage etc) is via SNMP. The check_snmp plugin supports snmp 1 2, possibly 3 and has command-line options that can be used to specify different get and set community names from the default public/private, you could take advantage of this and use different community names from the default on your snmp devices. Alternately, there are three ways to get infor from plugins back to the Nagios server, they are NRPE, NSCA and check_by_ssh. One could also create a new scheme.

I have certain services running like lpd rpc etc. In RedHat there is a command chkconfig with which i can start/ top services for certain run levels or completely stop it from running. I do not like unnecessary processes/daemons running, so to have them disabled completely irrespective of runlevel, I do: update-rc.d -f name remove A warning: a package that is disabled in this manner will not remain disabled if that package is updated. See man page for update-rc.d. There are also things to watch out for like logrotate. On one machine lpd kept popping up every week even though I wanted it off, logrotate was restarting it! Better to just remove the package if you really don't want it enabled. $.02 Bill Carlson -- Systems Administrator[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Anything is possible, Virtual Hospital http://www.vh.org/ | given time and money.

I want qmail as daemon to service a couple of email addresses, sending through one of them, as well as the system notification email formerly handled through the smail (removed when installing qmail). After getting this to work, then I can start thinking about spamassasin and MTA virus checking. First, I need to qmail to work. Have you looked at http://lifewithqmail.org/ ? I'll leave choice of MTA out of it, as others have failed to do.

You may want to check the arp table: Next time check arp when the problem occurs. Could be another machine is trying to use the machine's IP.
