Lisa I just went through the same migration about a month ago. Here some things that may help. 1. As far as the location of custom scripts go. I would make your own location. Either /opt/companyname/bin sbin etc. or /usr/local/companyname/bin sbin and etc. This type of setup makes it very

Re: passwd file and user accounts

2007-07-08 Thread Dan Casey
I didn't have as many accounts so I didn't even bother migrating them. I add all my new accounts using pw rather then adduser. It is much easier to script with this then adduser. My first approach would be the following: 1. add one account to freebsd. 2. Using chsh or vipw, copy the redhat

Re: NFS without rpcbind?

2007-04-24 Thread Dan Casey
That makes more sense. Actually I do not care if it is tcp or udp, so long as the ports are not dynamically assigned. I'll have to give what you said a try. Up until now I thought there was now way to do this without dynamic ports. Erik Norgaard wrote: On Mon, 23 Apr 2007, Dan Casey wrote

NFS without rpcbind?

2007-04-23 Thread Dan Casey
It was my understanding that NFS worked off of RPC. I accidently stumbled upon some redhat docs that said you use TCP based NFS which will not require rpc? I think this is an NFSv4 feature, but I'm not sure. I would like to achieve this using FreeBSD 6.2. My goal that I'm trying to accomplish

CVS (freebsd /src) confusion

Using cvsup I am upgrading my boxes from RELENG_6_1, to RELENG_6_2. I've been noticing something strange, and I'm wondering if I'm thinking too much into it. I've modified mergemaster so that instead of using diff, it would just append to a text the files that need to be diffed. This way i can

Does the directory /var/db/mysql/mysql exist? If your missing that directory, then mysql cannot authenticate. I'm assuming this is a fresh install. Try backing up your files, then run mysql_install_db. This will create the mysql database for you. Martin McCormick wrote: If one does a

Adjusting NGROUPS_MAX constant

I am running into trouble with users who are in more then 16 groups. I fail to ssh in with the following message: sshd[96785]: initgroups(username,1002): Invalid argument sysctl -a kern.ngroups kern.ngroups: 16 Is there any reason why I should not raise NGROUPS_MAX in the following two files?

mergemaster and vimdiff

2006-12-29 Thread Dan Casey
Is there anyway to use vimdiff with mergemaster. Or is it safe to just see what files are different in etc, and vimdiff them manually? I see /var/tmp/temproot has a lot more in it that I was expecting. I thought it would be just etc. ___
