Well, basically I'm asking for opinions to get help on our migration of operative systems. Our company its a hosting that gives webhosting and basic fast mailservices besides other small things. We have very personal and flexible relationship with our customers and their needs. We have been using FreeBSD since year 2000, and besides "the normal problems" (ports upgrade, UFS - NFS maintenance, RPC daemons working weird, etc,), it has proven to be an incredible operative system that will make very old hardware reliable to make money. We are migrating now because we want to enter the virtualization world, offer housing, Java support, and have "real" support from Red Hat so we can take vacations once in a year and turn off our Nextel and forget about alarms. Also, people who knows Linux/Red Hat are MUCH common than FreeBSD guys, so that would help in the future when hiring more personal. I know much of the technical services we want to offer can be deployed on FreeBSD, but we also know these services are much easy and stable to install and use on RHEL. I am the main sysadmin and grew up with Red Hat since I was sixteen, (I'm 23 now) so I used Red Hat for a long time until I liked more Slackware and then Gentoo to use at home at least; I really have faith in Red Hat for servers. We are used to code everything on our own (C, PHP, PYTHON, Bash, old ASP, etc.) so it will be a little weird to migrate to Red Hat at first (rpm packages against FreeBSD ports its the main reason I think), but that's the point, use our time to offer new services rather than maintain the current ones with custom bugfixes. Any opinion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <000301c8d2ff$7ad32310$70796930$@com> Hi, Can anyone help me with this issue? I have a redhat box that connects to the internet, hence it acts as a router. This server runs sendmail, squid, pop3, samba etc..and all worked well at least before now. However, recently it just stop working... When I logon locally to the machine I can surf the internet, however other computers linux or windows can't connect to any of its services. However, I can ping and it responds back... For example, on the server, I run an nslookup on any domain it get resolved, however it does not work from any of the clients connected to it. I stop iptables to test ..still it does not work. I ran tcpdump on port 53 and I see traffic going in but the server does not respond with the answer. Same goes for ssh and other services. At the end I get the amount of filters passed and zero for the kernel. Hence I think traffic is getting into the kernel but its not passing it back out. Can someone help with this problem? Should I do a fresh installation? Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Are you sure you have stopped it? If it?s completely stopped, you should be able to unload all the iptables related kernel modules. I would also check routing tables, just to make sure it still looks good. Dongwu On 6/20/08 11:00 AM, "Oluwagbenga Shobowale" wrote: > Hi, > Can anyone help me with this issue?

When I run it directly from the command-line, it runs without issue. I've run it by using 'crontab -e' or directly editing /etc/crontab and restarting crond. My cron entry is: */5 * * * * root php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>& and I've also tried: */5 * * * * php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>& Any ideas?
