For changing the hostname without restart use the hostname command:
hostname newhost.domain.com
To keep the new hostname between restarts edit /etc/sysconfig/network, and
change the hostname there.
Also its a good idea to check /etc/hosts, it can contain the old hostname,
change/delete it.

Here is the logrotate file:

I added notifempty to keep the old empty log files from being compressed...

Use complete command like this:
user1 ALL=(root) /bin/su - user2
This will limit user1 to that specific comm
g with the CLI version of it.
We need to go to stock versions to match our production RHEL 4.8 machines.

When I used Solaris years and years ago there was a command that would be

equivalent in CentOS?

I am more looking at what the system thinks is the next UID. Does the
useradd command use this when it assigns the ne

I have been able to use things like these 2 examples (cat /etc/passwd | cut
-d: -f3 | sort -n | tail -2 | head -1 in this case) but I want to get the
next UID from the system not by parsing /etc/passwd

The default is to ask you for a reboot. Since a newly built system is
most vulnerable, many people do not want to reboot unless they are there
to finish the configuration

To fit this in a bit with your set up. Have your 192

If they are all identical from an ssh standpoint (at least the
authorized_keys, /etc/sshd_config, and UID for the user on all 3 hosts), why
will serverc not play nicely with the other 2> Is there something else I
should be checking?

I would think that would just cause a failed login and not ask for a
password then let him in. From reading, it looks like he can SSH, just not
without the password...

My guess (and I REALLY hope I am right) is that the IP in question is
related to NetWare and eDirectory. Both products (started out to be)/are
better than MS products, not Linux/SUSE stuff.

Hello all,
For (system) certification purposes, we have to upgrade our 4.4 machines to
4.7.
In the past I usually have just reinstalled machines to save the (perceived)
headaches of upgrading. That is not an option in this case.
Are there any pitfalls to watch out for when upgrading? Is it even pos

RHEL world which is what we are basing this on). 4.7 is as high as they will
go. I know I will be doing this again in a month's time when they have 4.8
certified...
I just do as I am told...To an extent...
