Slackware to Arch server switch questions

I want to have this setup, with all PCs running arch:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/ … SYSTEM.jpg
I currently run NTL and the modem has a eathernet port on it so its all easy and good with my slackware server DHCP on one network card and fixed IP on the other.
But I have to have a ADSL line in new house with tiscali and I cant see any of their modems that are not USB. So is there a "how to" for USB modems?
Is it easy to setup the above network?
The slack server is a firewall (rc.firewall script etc) and a samba share and thats about it.... it forwards some ports here and there but nothing else.
I have never used arch as a server so I have no idea what im suppose to do etc, even if I had 2 network cards I have no idea how to tell one to be DHCP and other fixed IP in rc.conf etc.... do I just have another section from the 2nd network card?

I don't know anything about tiscali, but if USB is all they can give you, I would strongly recommend getting your own ethernet gear - it will save you a lot of hassle IMO.

Basically yes. You will have eth0= and eth1= lines with the appropriate parameters, followed by
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)

  • Slackware user - Arch install process and package management questions

    I currently am using Slackware 12 with updates.  It has become increasingly cumbersome to compile new software given the number of dependencies that also have to be compiled, and have their own dependencies compiled, etc and so on. 
    Other than the fact that the adoption of new packages is somewhat glacial, and that there is no automatic dependency resolution, I really like Slackware.  Its fast, relatively easy to configure, and easy to use.  I'm conversant in commandline-ese.
    I've been led to understand based on the Arch wiki that Arch is very similar to Slackware in its layout, but with bleeding edge packages and dependency resolution, so I would think it would be about perfect.
    However, I also understand that the install is more difficult that Slackware.  How much more so is my question.  Is it impossibly confusing and unhelpful like Debian installation was, or just slightly more difficult than Slackware or FreeBSD (both of which have very smooth installation scripts)
    Also, for packages that have to be compiled from source, are dependancies easy to satisfy from the arch repository, or do dependencies for new software have to be compiled with their dependencies.
    I'd probably just be trashing everything but /home, and doing a clean reinstall.
    Is Arch the right distro for me, or am I better off staying with Slackware?  Like I said, I really like Slackware except for the package management issues.

    You are right about that.

    They are quite similar, but Slackware provides more help when doing tasks like - how can I partition my harddisk and so on. But If you're comfortable with Slack's install procedure then installing Arch is much easier, just read the install guide.
    I think Arch is good for you, because currently I have both - Slackware and Arch and both suit me fine for my needs.
    Also remove all *. entries in your /home

  • Data server switch in SQL query

    Hi guys,
    I have a question about data server switch in the sql query template. We have been developing all the sql queris pointing to the customer test db server say "TESTDB", now we have to change the db connection to "PRODUCTDB", do we need to change sql queries one by one or is there a better solution for this? I think this is a common requirement to change back and forth data server connection for a bulk number of queries
    Thanks,
    Tony.

    Tony,
    From a design perspective it is advisible to name your data servers in a more abstract way, since the query templates themselves only save the Name of the data server in them.  Data Servers also have a description field (typically overlooked) which will appear in the list and the workbench where you can be explicit or to even serve as a reminder that you are working with either test or production data.  The true 'switch' should happen when you reconfigure your data server settings for server url and user/pwd.
    TESTDB and PRODUCTDB might be better served with a meaningful name that provides a correlation to the data stored in the database.  In more mature system landscapes having a DEV/QA/PROD arrangement of MII servers, the ability to promote content comes from configuration and projects, not from actually changing the content on the same server.
    If you need to rapidly modify your content to adopt this practice then I would simply export the associated project and unzip it to a folder.  Then use windows explorer to do a search for files containing your data server name (they will appear in your query templates as Server="TESTDB").  With a text editor that can do search and replaces across multiple files (http://www.editplus.com is my personal favorite) you can easily change the data server name to a better convention.  Then zip up the folder content and reimport the project.  This will effectively switch your data servers (don't forget to create the new abstract data server in place of the TESTDB and PRODUCTDB).
    Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Rubix - yet another distro based on Slackware and Arch Linux

    Today I was reading DistroWatch and saw info about Rubix.
    This distro is based on Slackware and Arch Linux.
    What do you think about this?

    I tried it.
    I really liked the install. Very simple and straightforward.
    I didn't like fact that the rubix installer installs only one package at a time (and pulls in the deps of course), so the install is rather slow.
    I also didn't like the repo structure. Seems cumbersome.
    bonuses:
    e17 installed easy, and just worked.
    packages available are pretty reasonable
    I really like the modifications rubix has made to rc.conf and some of the inits
    There is some type of community repository
    The distro seems to have a clear focus, and I like many of the security aspects.
    bummers:
    extra rc<int>.d directories
    No gdm. boo-hiss.
    No gnome (I get it. this is slackware. boo-hiss).
    My fonts looked ugly. This one is such a huge deal for me, that I consider it a showstopper. Might be the fact that I installed it in vmware, but most distros have little issue with this. <caveat. I think arch fonts suck too. I have never had good looking fonts in arch...which is why I have only really used it as a server.>
    Did I mention I didn't like the repo structure? It made the simple act of updating pacman repos (pacman -Sy) slow and painful.

  • Directory server switch for messaging

    Hi,
    We installed a new instance of Directory server 5.2 on a new Solaris box as the old box needs to be recycled. Both instances are DS5.2 with a patch difference.
    Can anyone help me with, how to make the the messaging server switch from the old instance to new instance of directory server.
    I am a directory person and do not know much about messaging.
    Thanks,

    First, you need to extract the configuration data from your old ldap server, per the documentation here:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-6734-10
    In fact, just follow this entire document, it'll help you through the whole process.

  • Receive e-mail on Arch server

    Sorry if this is the wrong place, nothing else seemed quite right.  I'm trying to set up an Arch server so that i can route e-mail through it, right now I have heirloom mailx set up so I can send e-mails fine, but i want to be able to receive them as well.  Ideally, I would like to be able to send an e-mail to user@my_ip or user@my_ddns, receive it on the Arch server, run it through a script, and send it back out.  I'm not really sure how e-mail works at all, is this even possible?  What would I need to do it?  I'm really only interested in getting mail for one user, I've tried tutorials for setting up big mail servers but they didn't work for me.  Thanks!
    Edit:  I got sendmail (from the AUR) running with the -bD option, and when I run /usr/bin/mailq I can see my requests being denied each time I send another e-mail from gmail.  I've done some configuration with sendmail, but maybe I set it up wrong?  I have my DDNS name in local-host-names, but I'm not sure how to set up the aliases.

    I FINALLY got it to work on BOTH iPhone 4 and iPpad 3.  Here is what I had to do:
    Had to DELETE all e-mail accounts including icloud.
    Did a hard reset (hold down button on top right corner and round button on bottom center)
    Then once it came back on, the iPhone had ALL of the accounts still on it and it was receivng e-mail.
    The iPad receive e-mail until I did the steps above 5 times.  Plus, I had to add back all of the e-mail accounts vs. on the iPhone 4 they were there when my phone came on.
    Now I am receiving e-mail on both devices normally.
    No clue why this happened, but Apple needs to find a fix ASAP.

  • "-server" switch

    Hello,
    Why can't I use the "-server" switch of the JVM? I get the following error message when using it:
    "Error: no `server' JVM at `C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\bin\server\jvm.dll'."
    What is this "-server" switch anyway?
    Thanks in advance,
    Balteo

    Now I would like to figure out what this server is
    anyway...It's just a different VM (built mostly out of the same set of sources) with different tuning algorithms targeted at large server-type programs.
    The standalone JRE product doesn't include the server VM because most PCs don't need it. The only way to get it is the way you did: actually, if you have a server program and you want to run it on (and/or bundle with it) a server VM, copy the entire "jre" subdirectory from a JDK distribution.

  • Basic Questions from Prospective Lion Server Switcher

    I have five servers I am running right now using Windows 2003 Server and various 3rd party packages.     Several years ago I became a Mac fan, moved all of my client based stuff to Mac, and now want to start moving my server based equipment to the OSX platform.
    I stopped by my local Apple Store, and they had a version of OSX Lion Server running on a MacMini, but couldn't seem to answer the most basic of questions because as their business people stated "We are not Server Certified" ... they recommended I talk to an outside consultant to get these basic questions answered which seems a little extreme.
    So I'm hoping the group can help.
    (1) I read through most of the Lion Server Advanced Administrative manual.    Lion server appears from the manual to do most of what I need.   However, when I tried doing some of the functions in the manual on the demo Lion Server at the Apple Store, many of the functions I wanted to do did not seemed to either be installed, or their were buttons missing in the Server App.     I do not know if this was a permission level problem, because the account I setup for myself had administrative rights.
    (2) In the mail app, it only appeared you could setup one mail domain.    It appeared you could setup virtual domains and users through the user app, but not through the mail domain itself?
    (3) I could not find any where to enable DNS services.    The manual seems pretty straight forward in turning on DNS, but the Lion Server I saw had no DNS services running, or any way to enable them?
    (4) Same for mailman listserv type function ... manual seems to be straight forward on enabling under the mail server, but again, no signs of the settings or enabling under the mail service.
    (5) Under the mail app, didn't find any way to setup alternative SMTP ports  ( I allow now Port 26 besides the standard Port 25 and SSL ports for my users.) ... I find port 26 gets past most firewalls at hotels etc.      Didn't see any way to control SMTP authentification too.
    (6) Under the Lion Server tech description, it talk about a built in web editor, saw nothing of the kind.
    So did the apple store have a limited install or am I missing something that the lion server manual does not match the capabilities of lion server.
    Love to get a straight answer before purchasing hardware to replace 5 present machines.
    Thank you.
    David

    Thanks for quick response.   Indeed, in hindsight, it appears that they had only installed the Server App, but not the Server Admin tools.
    Unfortunately, I am not a system admin, but I played one on TV <grin>
    All kidding aside ... I'm willing to learn, but would need most of the basics controlled through the GUI ... and then feel comfortable reading up and editting configuration files and running commands from the Terminal.
    On this line, is there good documentation of this, or is this something that you know because you are familiar with Unix?    ie something like the alternate port issue ... is this something in the GUI, or something I would have to edit via Terminal?
    Just trying to make an informed decision before jumping platforms.
    Thanks

  • 802.1x Dynamic VLAN Switching Question

    Trying to set up 802.1x dynamic VLAN switching, and have a question. I think I've gotten it working except for one part. The VLAN on a protected interface is never getting switched. I can see an entry in the ACS stating that it applied the appropriate VLAN via RADIUS response, but it never changes on the switch.
    Environment:
    ACS Express 5.0.1

    Am I missing something easy?

    It looks like "aaa authorization network default group dot1x" was the missing command I needed to get this working.
    The only issue I'm having now is that if the client fails to meet the authentication requirements, the line status gets set as "down"

  • Arch Server - ejabberd crashing

    Hi everyone.
    I recently switched one of my servers from debian (raspbian) to arch arm.
    The version of ejabberd I used under the old OS was running just fine but it was outdated and caused minor problems with some clients.
    Meaning, I've got the right srv records set, server answers if you ping it.
    The last config file I had was written in erlang, I copied old values and debugged the new ejabberd.yml as far as I could, no more "syntax error on line XYZ" appear, but now it is a different error I can't find anything about when I start ejabberd in live modus:
    (many Progress Reports until all of the sudden: )

    nodename equals the sub.domain.tld name AND is defined in /etc/hosts but not the hostname in /etc/hostname. I'm not sure about how ejabberd relates to /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, before switching to arch it worked okay without defining.
    /etc/hosts looks similar like this:
    127.0.0.1       jabber.domain.tld        shortname-1
    127.0.0.1       shortname-1.domain.tld      shortname-1
    127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain    localhost
    /etc/hostname:
    shortname-1
    FQDN in ejabberd.yml is set to jabber.domain.tld and is set in the ejabberdctl config to be [email protected]
    I'd be really glad if someone could help me figure out where the problem is.

    As for ejabberd, this is a little off topic but... I had to setup a chat client a while back. I chose XMPP and the "jabberd14" server. It works but has always been a little flaky (buddies not being authorized correctly, duplicate buddies...). I recently switched everyone to IRC using the "ngircd" server. It was a breeze to setup, I haven't found any little quirks in it yet, and the people who use Pidgin don't really see a difference between the two servers.
    Hm okay, thanks.
    This is IRC server software. how could this, without plugins, be any similar to the xmpp protocol? I don't find very much other than "lightweight jabber server" about this software...
    I had an relative shitty living experience last time so I couldn't continue to set up the jabber project. When it's possible to get 99% uptime (where ever I locate this, home or external) one use (amongst private communication) could be the live-communication part of the work-in-progress community of an friend of mine.

  • Yosemite Server Users question.

    I recently installed Yosemite Server 4.0.3 on a fully patched Yosemite 10.10.2 install on a Mac Mini (Late 2014/2.6GHz i5/16GB/1TB) that we're going to hang a LaCie Thunderbolt RAID off of for a file server update, and while setting users, and permissions (had some problems with a user unable to write to a share), the Server application crashed. After bringing the Server application back up and after various tests, the users interface on the server application lists every user on the system, including the unix/posix users such as amavisd, postfix, etc.
    My initial guess is that a switch regarding which users are displayed got toggled in the application crash. But at the same time, I can't see where that setting would be and would hate to have to guess what switch to throw in a command line launch to correct the problem. 
    So my effective question is this, has anyone seen a problem quite like this and if so why did it occur and how was it addressed?
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have.
    Ed.

    I knew it had to be something so simple that I'd overlook it. Thank you! I'd not seen that happen in earlier versions (10.6 and previous), so it caught me a bit off guard. Thank you again.

  • Enabling AAA on IBM blade server switches

    I am having some trouble getting users to be able to log in to the web gui for the cisco switches that are built in to the blade servers we bought. I have a feeling it is due to there being no enable login when you use the webgui but needing enable priveleges...
    how am I supposed to set up the user in tacacs so (CSACS) so that they are able to log in to the web gui?
    thanks in advance...

    any ideas about this situation specifically? I have AAA working on all of our routers and switches (we manage them via CLI) and on these switches in the blade server, but we want users to be able to authenticate and use the GUI for these switches also.
    I went into the groups the users in question belong to since the users are set under "Enable Options" to "Use Group Setting"
    One user is a network engineer so his is set to "Max Privilege for any AAA Client (15)" but he still isnt able to log in via the web gui. Any ideas? Im not seeing anything in the "Failed Attempts" on the csacs server.

  • Converting Arch server to ESXi VM

    I'm working on building a new server running VMware ESXi 5.1
    I got my hands on a Sun X2200 for pennies and upgraded it to a pair of quad cores and i'm tossing in a raid controller to stripe a pair of SSD's.....she's puurty
    anyhow, i'm looking at consolidating 3 of my servers into this thing, trying to reduce the footprint. One of these servers is my webserver running Arch Linux, so I'm curious, has anyone here converted an Arch Linux system to a VM?
    I've glanced over the wiki
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _in_VMware
    I installing arch into a vm is much the same as anything else realistically, I'm just looking for peoples experiences.
    my plan is to install the openvm tools before capturing the system to a VM, just to have things ready, I imagine ill first need to boot the VM from the arch iso to rebuild the kernel image, other than that I'm hoping it goes smooth.
    The other question I have, I'm running the LTS kernel, the wiki page says most of the wmware drivers are included in recent kernels, does this include the LTS kernel? does anyone know?

  • Web Server Switch

    Hello,
    I selected the CF internal web server during install (IIS was
    not available.) I managed to get through it and the install
    succeeded. Now I used the web server config tool to switch to IIS
    (now it's available.) My websites now don't come up. I'm pretty
    sure it's a security/directory issue but I can't figure out where
    the problem is.
    Adobe support is non-existent if you don't have $500 to ask a
    question.
    Thank you.

    I'm not sure what you mean by market economy but if you mean
    capitalism then of course. Any economist will tell you that a
    client wants value for his money. By denying me real tech support
    even before the product was installed they are pushing away a loyal
    client and possibly failing to make a new one. Hardly good
    economics if you ask me. Further, it hurts all of us if ColdFusion
    loses market share because it's harder to form communities and sell
    our services to clients.
    Ken did provide me phone support after I kicked and screamed
    and he was instrumental in helping me with the installation. We
    were able to solve the issue(s) within a couple of hours rather
    than the three days it had taken me up to then. Those three days
    were torturous trying to figure out what was wrong with the
    install. Also, although we did get the install completed and set
    up, Ken is being modest. I doubt I could have completed the set up
    without his support on the phone. It was not simply a security
    issue.
    Adobe really needs to rethink the way they're doing support.
    Of course I am one single exaple, but in my case a few minutes on
    the phone at the onset of this problem would have saved everyone
    much time and effort.
    We have other server software that perform other tasks such
    as Imail from Ipswitch that the way they work it is with annual
    contracts. You buy a contract and get the software and support for
    a year. If the following year you don't want to upgrade the
    software and don't need support then you don't pay.
    Adobe is selling the software as is. You want it fixed (is it
    a bug in the Adobe product or you?), you have to pay. And I know
    they have "free" installation email support. In my case they
    emailed me to check the instructions first and then when I
    complained they emailed me to call them to do it over the phone.
    When I called they said: Yes, we can do it over the phone but you
    have to pay.
