MUUG Meeting, Sept 11, 7:30pm -- Ansible, RTFM: tcpdump
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Managing Systems with Ansible Ansible is an OSS IT automation engine, in the vein of Chef and Puppet. But what exactly can you do with it? John Gunkel will be filling us in. He'll be covering key concepts, package management, templates, roles, GUI interfaces, and more! A demo will bring it all together. RTFM: tcpdump(1) with Adam Thompson Debugging an application's behaviour is sometimes easier to do by looking at the interactions it has with other systems on the network than by examining the application itself. Modern UNIXes all come with a tool, tcpdump(1), that can examine, filter, decode, and log all the traffic seen at a network interface - whether it originates on that system or not. Adam will discuss the most common options for [12]tcpdump(1), and hopefully demonstrate a simple example. The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ******************************************************************* Please note our new meeting location for this month: *Room 1M28* Manitoba Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets. Look for signage once you're at the building, or ask a security guard. ******************************************************************* For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their web server: https://muug.ca/ Help us promote this month's meeting, by putting this poster up on your workplace bulletin board or other suitable public message board: https://muug.ca/meetings/MUUGmeeting.pdf -- Manitoba UNIX User Group E-mail: <gedetil(a)muug.ca> c/o Gilbert E.

PTS?
by Kevin McGregor 20 Aug '18

20 Aug '18

When I run "last" on Solaris 11, I get (e.g.): # last -n 300 -a | grep oracle | head root sshd Mon Aug 20 03:48 - 03:48 (00:00) oracle-oem-oc-mgmt-cowsvpsys07 root sshd Sun Aug 19 16:56 - 16:56 (00:00) oracle-oem-oc-mgmt-cowsvpsys07 root sshd Sun Aug 19 07:32 - 07:32 (00:00) oracle-oem-oc-mgmt-cowsvpsys07 root sshd Sat Aug 18 21:18 - 21:18 (00:00) oracle-oem-oc-mgmt-cowsvpsys07 root pts/3 Sat Aug 18 13:17 - 12:55 (1+23:37) oracle-oem-oc-mgmt-cowsvpsys07 root sshd Sat Aug 18 13:17 - 12:55 (1+23:37) oracle-oem-oc-mgmt-cowsvpsys07 My question is why is there sometimes a pts AND sshd, and other times just the sshd? What does that mean?

NFS problems
by Kevin McGregor 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

I'm trying to get FreeNAS (based on FreeBSD) to serve up NFS shares. It keep failing with nfsd: Can't bind to tcp addr *: Address already in use Which doesn't make sense. I tried binding to a specific address (the IP address of this server) and I get the same message, but with the IP address instead of *. No other services are running on this server, other than http (80). Where do I start? Thanks, Kevin

Shaw keeps incrementally increasing my grandfathered service. It was $65 in early 2017. I just use internet and I'm now paying $75 for Internet 15 which is 15 down and something like 2 or 3 up. Providers are mentioned in our discussions. Can I get your recommendations please?

Hard drive failure - turned out to be an SSD
by Frank H 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hey guys, When my friend game me his failed hd it is an SSD. System sees it but can't open See attached video for the sound it is making. Hope 16GB isn't too big. I know odds are low but just have to ask if anyone has any ideas. Freezing SSDs is not a thing correct? Sure sounds like moving parts to me. Never troubleshot an SSD before. Thanks,Frank

Looking for short term contractor
by Gerald Brandt 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi, I'm going on 3 weeks holidays in August, and my boss wants me to find an emergency contractor in case all the systems decide to go belly up while I'm gone. This contractor would only be called in case of emergencies. Normally, I'd pass the IT stuff onto someone in-house, but there's no one here that knows what's going on since my backup guy left. This is what we run: * Proxmox 5.2 * Synology NAS servers (NFS) * Various Linux VM's * A couple of Windows VM's * Univention Corporate Server (for Active Directory) * BackupPC for daily backups Basically, if things fail, it's just getting the Proxmox Servers running again and restoring VM images from backup. Possibly restoring more recent data from BackupPC. Gerald

Mail server config on Ubuntu (Postfix?)
by Kevin McGregor 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

I'm trying to configure Postfix on Ubuntu 18.04LTS. It's working, in the basic sense, but not doing everything I want. I've read some of the config help and examples, but I'm still not clear on what to do. For each Ubuntu server I manage, I'd like these to work: user1@ubuntu:~$ mail -s "Test" user2 <message-body user1@ubuntu:~$ mail -s "Test" user2@ubuntu <message-body user1@ubuntu:~$ mail -s "Test" user2(a)ubuntu.mydomainname <message-body user1@ubuntu:~$ mail -s "Test" user3@myotherdomainname <message-body I hope that's clear. Or mail -s "Test" jdoe mail -s "Test" jdoe@server678 mail -s "Test" jdoe(a)server678.domain1.org ...which would all deliver email locally to this server (server678) and the last one would be for mail which is destined for any other user NOT on this server but in domain2 (domain1 and domain2 are both internal workplace domains), and which will have to go through a relay host to get anywhere: mail -s "Test" santa394(a)domain2.org I don't know if I've made myself clear. Ask questions and I'll try to clarify what I want. Kevin
