how to disable it?
I've found a lot of pages of how to fix the issue on older releases of dhcpd and ubuntu.
#>dhcpd

#> Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied.
I have tried creating the file and giving it permissions to be accessed, but that isn't solving the issue. I tried to go through some of the older fixes, and one was really close to working but lacked the same folders as I have.
EDIT: one solution that worked was to use ln -s /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid /var/run/dhcpd.pid dhcpd3 -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf at0
I have upgraded to version 11.04 and I only use Ubuntu classic - do not like Unity at all.
I think in previous version there was an option in one of the System->Preferences->Appearance dialogs to enable 3D effects partly fully or not at all for GNOME 2. However, I cannot find this dialog any more in version 11.04. Where has it gone?
I would like to make sure that all 3D mumbo-jumbo is completely disabled with ubuntu classic.
I enabled verbose logging and I am curious how to disable it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got 5 users who share a bunch of virtual Windows XP guests via VRDP (VirtualBox RDP access), and I'm having some problems with managing their NumLock state. They all use rdesktop to access the Windows XP machines. This works very well, as long as all of them have NumLock enabled. If one of them disables it by mistake, and then logs into one of the Windows XP machines, NumLock is disabled and some of the programs they use start to act really weird. This is causing us some grief.
So I'd like to be able to enable NumLock on all the computers (they are all running Slackware 12.2) before X, while X runs and while KDE is running. And when NumLock is enabled for the entire system, thenI'd like to remove the ability to disable NumLock altogether. NumLock should always be enabled for these users, no matter what. It would be really nice if Linux/X/KDE/whatever just honored the BIOS setting, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Oh, and I'd really like if the NumLock LED was ON, so everybody are made aware of the fact that they have NumLock turned on.
ps. I've tried remapping the keys on the numeric pad with xmodmap, but that doesn't solve the problem. The actual NumLock state must be set to avoid problems with the troubled Windows programs.
I wanted to disable root logins in console, so I searched for that. I found that if I change root's bash to "/sbin/nologin" in "/etc/passwd", root user will not be able to login. So I did that. But when I wanted to use sudo command, it didn't show me root bash, but it only do the same thing as logging in as root in single user mode (shows message that this account is disabled). So, how I can disable root logins, but keep enabled sudo command for standard users?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy objective is pretty simple: To have a variable within a bash script where I can switch between logging to file or screen.
Simple example of what I am trying to do:
Code:
So, as you can see, I have a variable which clears the log path if the user variable vLOG is not 'Y'. This should mean the user can run the script from the command line and view all the output (instead of it going to a log file).
The problem is that with the final line of the script (which ultimately tests the intention), I don't get the required result as the vLOGPATH variable is just passed to echo as text.
I have tried using 'echo -e' and getting some backslashes in there, I have tried using eval but I am either using them incorrectly.

View 9 Replies View Relatedit appears i haven't quite grasped the meaning of dhcpd.conf despite the numerous tutorials i went through in the internet and the detailed read of dhcpd.conf that i did. what i basically want to put you in perspective, is to have all the pc's in my home network (desktops and laptops) regardless of any other settings, to send their computer name (hstname basically) to the dhcpd (during the handshake)... then the dhcpd will use that name as the hostname and append the known domain name, thus creating an entry (an A record and a PTR record) in BIND....
so say a laptop comes into wifi range of the domain "myhome.org."... i take it that during handshake, the laptop will send its hostname (i don't know what that will be for winXP and win7 dhcp clients, but i presume it will send the output of command 'hostname' for linux clients - or at least thats what i would like it to send....).say "nass-notebook" Then the server will append "myhome.org." and it will update the DNS with an entry looking like[URL].. corresponding to some ip address.

I am trying to provide dynamic IP addresses for devices that are on a different VLAN (101). The server is currently providing 172.17.x.x/16 range for its own VLAN (417). My server is RHEL4 and DHCPD is version 3.0.1. The core switch (Cisco 3750) is configured with ip-helper on VLAN 101 interfacce. Here is my dhcpd.conf file:
authoritative;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
omapi-port 7911;
shared-network eth1
[code].....
However my laptop on the VLAN 101 keeps getting IP of 172.17.x.x/16 range..
I have a RHEL 5 64bits installed on a virtual server. I set up a a dhcpd server for one subnet last week and I have a strange behavior : the IPs are provided in a decreasing order. What's the? So I have tried to exchange range values but the result remains the same.

I have setup a dhcpd server on my lan with the following option to reflect the static route to my private LAN.
dhcpd.conf
Code:
option static-routes 10.0.0.0 192.16.5.0
I've tested it on OpenSUSE, ArchLinux and even Windows dhcp clients and they've managed to pull the static route configuration. However, to my suprise on my ubuntu machines this doesn't seem to load. Is there anything that needs to be done on the client's side to get this to work?
While configuring dhcpd.conf on centos 4 I couldn't find option to reserve that ip addresses. I have subnet of 10.0.0.0 network of which i want reserve 1 - 50 addresses for my servers. I'll assign static ips to my servers & printers.

Is there any way to associate a group to subnet in dhcpd.conf? I want hosts in a specific group to be locked to an IP range defined in subnet. Something like this:
Code:
authoritative;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.100;
option blah1;

I've a question about how work dhcpd. I'm on CentOS 5.6. I has a dhcpd server on it. His configuration:
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
deny declines;
deny bootp;
option domain-name "mydomain.domain";
option domain-name-servers IP;
option routers IP;
option time-offset -18000;
#option ntp-servers IP;
subnet IP netmask MASK {
range IP START IP END ;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 172800; }
And now in the /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.lease file, there few entrie for the same IP. Sometime I've ten same entries for the same IP. Can I have only one entrie by IP? Is there any problems in my configuration of my dhcpd.conf file?

I've been using dhcpd for address assignments to PCs for a very long time with no issues. I recently upgraded from lenny to squeeze and now dhcpd seems to have new behavior which I can't seem to change. Here's what I want to do. First, I have a simple situation and don't want to get involved with dynamic DNS updates. I have host statements for each of my PCs and a range statement for cases where I install a new device and don't yet have a host statement for it. Previously, I could discover the ethernet address for the new device from the dhcpd log and add a host statement with an address of my choosing for the new device.
I'd then restart dhcpd and do something like reboot the device or issue an ipconfig /renew statement on the new PC. What would happen is that the old dynamically assigned IP address would be NAKed and the device would do a DHCPDISCOVER, etc. and get the new IP address I specified in the dhcpd.conf host statement. In squeeze, this no longer works. The client asks for the old address it got dynamically and the server just says yes. I can't seem to find a way to get it to NAK the dynamic address and use the new address I've specified in the host statement. I'd appreciate any enlightenment on how this is now supposed to be done. Here's my simplified dhcpd.conf file:
authoritative;
log-facility daemon;
ddns-update-style none;
[code]....
Note that the address here was assigned based on a previous range statement and isn't consistent with the above config file.
I have a dhcpd server running CentOS and Webmin. I noticed in my lists of expired leases some of the lease times are only a few hours even thought I have lease length set to 1 week. I want to keep a lease for a week even if the device requests that it be expired. Is there some way I can do this in dhcpd? I am attaching a screenshot of some of my lease times listed in Webmin.

we need to log web access of a certain set of users for analysis. We decided to setup a proxy server which just logs all the requests but does not do anything else like caching/access control etc.All users will be using a fixed set of computers and hence we can redirect their requests to the proxy. I came across Squid, but found it to be too heavy for our requirements. Is there any other proxy-server software that is good enough for what we want or is Squid the only way?

There are multiple (5 or so) database admins that have to log into a windows 2003 server and from there log into a red hat server. Once they are in the rhel box they execute an app (let's say xclock) that gives them an xwindows session on their desktop. Currently only one person can do this at a time, but they have asked me to configure it to allow multiple users to log into the red hat box from the windows server and run an xwindow.
