[01:26]<nnvwjpp>wow...zfs is cool
[01:26]<nnvwjpp>It just saved me like 2 minutes
[01:26]<nnvwjpp>probably more if I would've setup veritas
[07:32]<2rvlxjgn>wow its actually a channel
[07:34]<txugmgzaxyacgg>heh.
[07:35]<2rvlxjgn>well geez i wish this OS was free so I could install it and get a cool job ;P
[07:44]<txugmgzaxyacgg>So d/l the ISO and install it already.
[07:51]<2rvlxjgn>haha yeah i put it up on a box for a girl techie at work the other day
[07:51]<2rvlxjgn>she was thrilled
[09:06]<qgzvygscyq>what the hell
[09:06]<qgzvygscyq>where the hell in gzip?
[09:08]<dja>yes, because thats's the best way to ask a question and expect someone to actually help you
[09:08]<dja>although you did miss the step where you insult peoples mothers first
[09:08]<qgzvygscyq>excuse me whats the path
[09:08]<qgzvygscyq>Im usally the one who gets insulted thanks
[09:09]<dja>what path?
[09:09]<qgzvygscyq>where is it located...so I can find it
[09:09]<dja>i would expect something like, ohhh, /usr/bin/gzip
[09:09]<qgzvygscyq>so I can run it
[09:09]<qgzvygscyq>so I can use it
[09:10]<qgzvygscyq>it must not be installed...
[09:11]<dja>if it's not installed then that wont be the path to it
[09:11]<txgbjgsry>or you just forgot how to use the find command
[09:11]<dja>if it's not installed, then it's probably something like /dev/null/gzip
[09:11]<qgzvygscyq>maybe I never new...thats kinda why I come here to ask for help...
[09:11]<txgbjgsry>Doc: :)
[09:12]<qgzvygscyq>tahnks for that
[09:13]<qgzvygscyq>find
[09:23]<mrmajmn>@bertinski ...have a look at /etc/skel, in these directory you can put a nice set of skeleton files (dotfiles)
[09:24]<mrmajmn>with these you are providing the correct env to the users that you are setting up in the future
[09:26]<qgzvygscyq>madcode: what about for root?
[09:27]<qgzvygscyq>should I just create a login file with the path variables in it?
[09:27]<mrmajmn>for root you have to setup this manually
[09:27]<mrmajmn>yep
[09:28]<asjpv>A while ago I had solairs 10 installed on this tri-boot system. Then I installed obsd in place of it. Now I want to install solaris in place of obsd again, where it used to be. But now, for some weird reason, It cant seem to install because of the '1024' cylinder limit. It wants / to end before the 1023rd cylinder.
[09:28]<asjpv>Any ways around this?
[09:28]<qgzvygscyq>and that .login file should reside in the root directory?
[09:30]<mrmajmn>there are several ways to do that
[09:31]<qgzvygscyq>thanks madcode...
[09:32]<mrmajmn>put it in the .profile
[09:33]<qgzvygscyq>I don't have one...
[09:33]<qgzvygscyq>or .login
[09:33]<mrmajmn>what shell do you expect to use?
[09:34]<qgzvygscyq>id like to use bash
[09:35]<qgzvygscyq>but currently the default is sh
[09:35]<mrmajmn>at example, when you are using the bash you can create an .bashrc and in this you can provide the path
[09:35]<mrmajmn>then ln -s .bashrc .bash_profile
[09:35]<asjpv>Ive got a mirror, using two drives. One drive is the the 'Needs Maintenence' state, the other is set as 'Last Error'. I run a metareplace on the 'Needs Maintenence' disk, using the same disk ( as I think its a good disk ) and it goes to around 40% and then stops resyncing. Any ideas?
[09:37]<mrmajmn>personaly i am using a set of .functions, .aliases, .profile, .kshrc, .bashrc
[09:37]<mrmajmn>...
[09:38]<qgzvygscyq>ok..so I will create a bunch of .skeleton files and locate them in the root
[09:38]<qgzvygscyq>obviously kshrc is for the korn shell
[09:39]<qgzvygscyq>whats the rc for...will help me to remember
[09:39]<mrmajmn>runcom files
[09:40]<qgzvygscyq>ok...one more thing...
[09:40]<qgzvygscyq>slowly about the -s .bashrc .bash_profile...
[09:41]<qgzvygscyq>trying to evolve into solaris from linux...
[09:42]<qgzvygscyq>many of the distros Ive used had all this stuff setup already
[09:42]<mrmajmn>jep
[09:43]<mrmajmn>but not an BSD SUN or AIX
[09:43]<mrmajmn>maybe HPUX also
[09:48]<qgzvygscyq>but Im going to bite the bullet and work it this time
[09:48]<qgzvygscyq>been debating for about a year now
[09:48]<mrmajmn>then you are able to use this fileset on every machine/zone
[09:49]<mrmajmn>and for every env
[09:49]<qgzvygscyq>trade the money I give Microsoft into my income
[09:49]<qgzvygscyq>thanks madcoce...I will be saving all code snippets for future use on all the boxes I change
[09:50]<qgzvygscyq>oops madcode
[09:50]<txgbjgsry>i'm doing something similar right now, madcode, the dotfiles are on a mounted NFS share (among other stuff) under ~/net/ and linked into ~/. even on a linux-only (but diff distros) enviroment it's tricky enough to make that consistent, i figured :/
[09:51]<qgzvygscyq>first challenge will be to set up my current router boxs from windows 2003 servers to Solaris machines clustered and
[09:51]<qgzvygscyq>routing mail and DNS
[09:52]<mrmajmn>...read the ipfw manual min. five times ;)
[09:53]<qgzvygscyq>Ive been given a few different suggestions
[09:54]<qgzvygscyq>I think its a safe bet to practice up administering a workstation first...and some of the points we were going over moments ago
[09:55]<mrmajmn>use the zones for testing, leave zone0 as it is
[09:55]<qgzvygscyq>I dont like to just do stuff on different OS without knowing...
[09:56]<dfx1>You Can Do It!
[09:56]<qgzvygscyq>inevitable recipe for disaster
[09:56]<txgbjgsry>it doesn't work that differently on top of the user interface you see
[09:57]<qgzvygscyq>I know the concepts are very closely related...
[09:57]<qgzvygscyq>mechanism doing the same gig
[09:57]<txgbjgsry>that what makes it being a UNIX or UNIX-like system IMHO
[09:57]<qgzvygscyq>one designed to give you the information...
[09:58]<qgzvygscyq>one designed to "misinform"
[09:59]<txgbjgsry>once expirienced with a specific system, there is not much misinformation
[09:59]<mrmajmn>solaris is very well documented
[10:01]<qgzvygscyq>I think MS is going much closer to that than I would like...besides getting really close to mirroring competitions designs
[10:01]<qgzvygscyq>and thats what I meant...Unix and Unix like very informative about what is really happening
[10:01]<qgzvygscyq>my business will still support MS stuff..
[10:02]<mrmajmn>...except the nice pictures at sunsolve were you can see the different views from the boxes
[10:02]<qgzvygscyq>but it will be like whoreing
[10:02]<mrmajmn>..these are possibly p0rn
