Server :: RHEL5 - Main Concepts Of Using Permissions?
Aug 12, 2010
I am a new, working on RHEL5. I am a bit confused on file permissions. I want to know how the setuid, setgid and sticky bit works on linux. And what are the advantages of using these bits? Can anyone explain me the main concepts of using these permissions?
Can someone explain the concepts of IPoIB and TCP over infiniband? I understand the overall concept and data rates provided by native infiniband, but dont quite understand how TCP and IPoIB fit in. Why do u need them and what do they do? What is the difference when someone says their network uses native IB, IPoIB or TCP with infiniband? Which one is better? I am not from a strong networking background, so it would be nice if you could elaborate.
Im a begineer and there are a lot of gui concepts that have enlightened as well as confused me.
Xserver, metacity, compiz. Is there a simple step guide that will help me understand the GUi concepts in a simple yet fast manner? (considering I am a newbie)
i have written some really basic loadable kernel modules. There are a couple of concepts that i'll like to get cleared.
In a tutorial, the Makefile was given as follows- obj-m += try.o all: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules clean: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
I understand that -C option of 'make' changes the current directory to /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build (which depends on my kernel).
Now, my question is why to change to that particular directory? Also M=$(PWD) will hold the dir where i have written the module. Why is it required? What does 'modules' at the end of that line indicate?
Q2> We need to include <linux/module.h> and <linux/kernel.h> in a module. If i am right, the module uses kernel headers for these definitions. But how does 'make' find these definitions.
Q3> We are planning to write a custom scheduler for linux kernel. cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler gives us the currently loaded schedulers. How do we expose our scheduler to linux kernel so that we can use it by switching to it.

I have rhel5 running ok and windows7 running ok, and currently access both via grub (both os are on separate disks) I want to be able to switch between both without rebooting. xen is installed and working but I cannot configure windows to run as a guest as xen wants an iso or img file.

I wonder if someone can shade alight on this problem,I have active subscription for rhel4 ES and trying to do a fresh install of rhel5,I was able to download rhel5.3 DVD image from redhat site,burnt it to a DVD but is not booting,i have so far tried on 2 different DVDs but both have failed. I have even downloaded and burnt 1 CD ISO image burnt it still failed.BIOS level is set to cd device first so no problem there,it works!
I'm trying to get RHEL5.3 booting on an IBM Blade off a SAN disk, but it refuses.Our storage is presented on LUN 1 as due to the IBM XIV SAN, we cannot use LUN 0 when presenting volumes. We believe that when the installer tries to configure the boot LUN, it expects to see it on LUN 0 but we can't use that. This leads to a problem where after installed Red Hat, it asks me to remove the CD and reboot, but doesn't load anything other than a cursor blinking at me on the monitor.I currently can't change the LUN ID on the SAN, so I've been trying to amend things to get it to work with no joy.

I have a RHEL 5 system running vsftpd. If I do a put to the box, files larger than 1 GB fail around the 1 GB point. Smaller files don't have a problem. If I do a get from the box there is no problem. Both the FTP server and client are plugged into a Netgear switch. I'm trying to create an FTP server and web server so my friends and I can upload our vacation pictures. Ultimately I want my friends to be able to access my server. Right now I'm just trying to make it work between my two machines.
