just go into the terminal, and type "adduser name" and it will prompt you for the rest.

Thanks KIA, I'm gonna try those tools, and ad them to my arsenal if they're good, have you used them much ?? But I take it you think it's deffo destroyed, I've a feeling i might be able to change the partition ID and sort it? And would those tools work with MDADM based RAID ? Again thanks.

I noticed That my Raid1 array was missing a Disk it appeared as . So i didnt think anything of doing a quick mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --raid-devices=2 and then: mdadm --add /dev/mdx /dev/sdx I then left it to sync up, happy days. But I added the block device; i.e. /dev/sdb NOT the...

It won't be proper raid 5, you will need 3 disks. And yes you are wise to backup elsewhere, perhaps think* about amazon glacier! :)

debian, or centos perhaps

Ah. I have a feeling it will probably just be slight firmware changes or other slight changes to it to reduce faults etc, i can't imagine there is much difference.

what is the advantage of the newer revisions? ie A12 over A11 > A10? Does any one know what's changed?

I've tried with the windows VPN PPTP, and no joy :( Not much help I know, but it didnt have any useful diagnostic info or anything, NM seems pants for VPNs

whoa no one has seen this? perhaps I'm doing something really wrong!

Hi Peeps, We have our macs backing up via time machine, to and AFP share, a couple of users have upgraded to Lion, which broke compatibility with netatalk 2.0. I managed to use defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1To get it to see the AFP drive for...

I've never been too keen on doing things via startup scripts, I just need to sort whats happened now. oh well... Thanks for the resource PAz

well of sorts, obviously it's an IDS, which I guess is part of network monitoring? Or perhaps not...

Hi PAz, Yep, added it the old restricted groups way, do'h. Looks like I'm going to have to do a hell of a lot of reading up on 2008 for my new gig! I'm not familiar with GP Preferences, don't spose you 9or anyone reading) has any good resources for this, or better still a guide to do what i'm...

Hey People, I've just rolled out a GPO that adds a user group(local admin group) to everyone's local administrators group, this seems to be causing trouble. Does this do anything unusual? such as remove existing users in the (local administrators) group? I've done this several times on...

SNMP + Cacti, as well as a combination of port mirroring tshark and snort :)

Shudder indeed, it's awful. As far as I can tell, people don't have mounted homedirs on nfs, the nis clients seems to make the homedirs for people.. what a pain! I've recreated my user on the NIS server which seems to have largely sorted the problem, but still it's happening elsewhere!

Hi Peeps, Just started working somewhere, and they use NIS for directory services. I need to add myself as a user so I can log into all the machines, but it just doesn't seem to work for love nor money! :( I have added the user, via useradd xxxxx (and added them to all the right groups as...

i think it just has the older version in the repo...

well in the end all it took was insistence on my part, and he let me go, not much they can do other than sue. i could just do what physichull, mentioned but I want to leave on at least semi amicable terms.

UPDATE: Well, my boss got back to me saying he needed me to stay as he wants to do a handover for the new employee. I can't really do that, it really wouldn't be *THAT* hard to replace me, and besides they would only give me a week if they wanted to get rid of me, according to the contract
