Just a quick post to say that “luma”, available on Fedora 7 is a nice little directory browser, that also works with active directory. The handy thing about it is that it will tell you precisely where you are, all those pesky dn’s, dc’s, and ou’s. All nicely printed out for you. It may also…

http://port25.technet.com/ This site appears to be a site dedicated to improving ineroprability between linux and windows, from Microsoft, no less. I guess it’s more a way of getting linux to work with Microsoft, but I suppose if Microsoft are willing to GPL the stuff that makes it work, then it’s all good…. ~SK

Please adjust for your operating system. after running: /usr/sbin/nsr/nsrinfo -N filename hostname The long time number then fits after the -t! /usr/sbin/nsr/mminfo -a -c vr1s3 -t 1181818795 -o e -r “volume,pool,%used,capacity,name,ssid,totalsize,nfiles(6),nsavetime,savetime,ssretent” Why you’d actually want to do this, I don’t know.

http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~baumbach/ORACLE10g/rman.html Being as my day job is still system administration, we’ve recently moved onto Oracle. For this, I need to know a bit about RMAN, the Restore Manage for Oracle. I don’t yet know enough to publish a sensible article about it, but I’m working on that.
