TFTP Server

I agree and understand the vulnerabilities tftp. It is only for a temporary situation to upload an IOS to Cisco router. I'm a little bummed because I had to break down and use some little WIN32 tftp app to do it. Couldn't get the Linux one to connect. I was trying KNOPPIX from a bootable CD and...

TFTP Server

I see there is a bug in this forum. I clicked post before I logged on, then logged on and it posted a blank reply. Any way... The command in.tftpd -l /tmp starts the tftp daemon in stand alone mode (-l) using the /tmp directory as the tftp root directory. nmap does scan udp ports. I know this...

TFTP Server

I'm trying to get a TFTP server running on Debian. I'm starting the server with in.tftpd -l /tmp seems to start OK. I see an in.tftpd process. I can connect to the server but if I try to get or put a file I get "Error code 2: Access violation" /tmp is world readable and I placed a world...

RAID and Adding Drives

Thanks for all the great replies. I'll have to take a close look at the specs on the controller for this new server. It will be running Linux with Samba, so the MS stuff is of no use. Since we have a good reliable backup system, when the time comes we can add the new drives, format, reinstall...

RAID and Adding Drives

I understand the concept behind RAID 5 (distributing parity) and how data can be restored if a drive fails and a new one is added, but here is my question on that concept: We have a new server with three 36GB SCSI drives (6 bays) and RAID controller. If I set it up with RAID 5 and later decide...

NEED HELP installing a modem in a 486SX with DOS 5.0

If my memory serves me right, in the old DOS days installation instructions and the install program that came with the modem were a must. Without either it will be tough. You need to make sure your com and IRQs are set correct on the modem (if internal) and then you generally run an install...

Linux Permissions

TonyRic & Damaged thanks for the replies. I've done a little research since my posting and this is what I found. I don't think I need to deal with ACL's because of the sticky bit, but again I'm a newbie at this so I could very well be wrong. When I get back to the office next week I do some...

I maybe going to boot multiple OS's, need info.

As a general rule install to older versions first, i.e. WIN98 then WINNT4 then WIN2K and Linux last. Keep your root drive (C:) below 2GB and formatted as FAT. I don't have a really good source off hand for HOW TO, but do a search for "multi boot" and you will get plenty of hits. Good...

Linux Permissions

What Linux permissions do I give a directory if I want the users, who are members of the group the directory is in, to be able to read and write but not delete (except for the owner/creator)? I understand this has to do with the SUID/SGID and Sticky Bit which I can't seem to get quite right...

Hardware v. Software RAID

Thanks for all the great replies and link to StorageReview.com. I'm definitly leaning towards hardware RAID5. I have a question of curiosity though; is there any way in Linux without RAID to make multiple disks appear as one large disk? I guess, in other words, without RAID, each disk needs its...

Hardware v. Software RAID

Thanks for all the comments. Doesn't RAID0 offer a bit of perfomance advantage for reads and/or writes? I also like having one large virtual partition. I have a good backup system (DDS-4 autoloader) and I can afford about day if I should ever get a failure to reinstall. Does anyone have any...

Hardware v. Software RAID

I'm contemplating the purchase of a new file server for our office. I have about 100 users. I plan on getting box with 3x34GB SCSI drives with 3 more empty bays for expansion. Probably somewhere around 900MHz processor and 512M RAM. The primary purpose of this server is to serve files and maybe...

Query # sign in Access ODBC

I'm trying to query the # sign from a recordset. For example I want to find all the records equal to # 31. I understand the # is a reserved symbol, and to use it in a query it should be bracketed [#]. I've tried several combinations of syntax but no luck. I can do it with an Access query, but...
