Tonight is the Affiliate Open House of the Cowtown Computer Congress,
and as we are somewhat of an affiliate organization (we share several
members) I thought it deserved an announcement on our mailing list.
There are other events this week as well, as part of our Grand Opening,
so check out our schedule:

Tonights open house will conclude with a showing of the Linux
documentary Revolution OS. It's a great film, and has actual footage of
why …

Does anyone on list know of any Linux / UNIX jobs available in the KC
Metro area? Even a Junior Admin job would be good.
Thanks all.

Anyone else interested? They're a hardware authentication token.
Think RSA SecureID without having to read or type, much less
expensive, and much more entropy. There's a pam module out there for
auth, and the manufacturer has a google code project for the utility
that you use to change their internal, private key. (They use
asymmetric crypto.) I'm probably buying mine in a week, so speak up
on list or off if you want one. Count on paying $22 for …

cost bracket, plus splitting shipping)
The manufacturer believes in open source, and has intelligent support.

First off this is my first post so I apologize ahead of time if this is
the wrong place for this. Linux administration is a secondary skill so
I was hoping I get some advice.
We're getting ready to install a new database server into our
enviornment. It's meant to replace our current database server. We
have a Hitachi SAN that stores the database files. We currently have 2
databases on the server. Each database has it's own Physical Group of
about 12 LUNS. The LUNs are multipathed with …
[View More]HDLM.
The plan is to install Red Hat 4.6 on the new server and try to get it
configured identically to the current production box. That way we can
present the LUNs with the database information already on it. This gets
around the need to restore from backups. Time is sensitive because we
have a 4 hour maintainance window. We also want to split the databases
so that they are on different machines.
What I'm unsure of, is when I change the zoning so the new server sees
the LUNs will LVM pick up the Volume Group from LUNs? I was going to
try to copy the LVM configuration from the original server, but I was
worried that the multipathing would be an issue since we're dropping the
total number of LUNs when we split the Volume Groups.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Well, now back to my original problem. I have two run of the mill routers.
I have a LinkSys WRT54G router/WAP that is connected to the cable modem. My
shop building is too far away (120+ft) from the Linksys to make an effective
wireless connection out here, but I have ethernet running from the Linksys
to the shop building. I have an old Netgear
WGR614 router/WAP that I can stick on the end of the ethernet cable, and I
can establish a network connection, I can get to the internet, etc. That'…

all cool. The problem I have is that I can't get to our shared drive
(Buffalo Link Station NAS), which uses SMB, that has the bulk of our music
on it. I could live without it, but it would be nice to have, and still be
wireless. So, how do I configure the Netgear to "pass thru" the SMB
traffic. I guess I want to set The Netgear up as a bridge, but donot see
any way to do that.
Any thoughts on that one?
Thanks,
Jim
