Really easy! If you have an SSL certificate, you can setup pop3s, imaps and smtps by editing the following:
POP3: /usr/share/courier-imap/pop3d.pem
IMAP: /usr/share/courier-imap/imapd.pem
First, backup the existing files, then (use vi) remove the KEY And CERTIFICATE and replace them with your own. Once you’ve done this, run:
$ service courier-imap restart

So, I run the bash installer for a software from the shell and I get a window with ASCII characters instead of the lines for the border. The solution?
$ export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1″ >> .bashrc

I’ve been running on nothing but Rockstart, Chilli, Fig newton and some other crap for the last 24 hours now. There is nothing glam-fabulus about IT!

So, I worked graveyard for a year and half. It was the worst experience in my life! I knew the health risks involved with it, but not to the extent explained in this article. I’m glad I no longer work grave, though I’m still trying to adjust to the normal sleeping hours, even 6 months later.

So, I wanted to setup a Dell PowerEdge 1800 with a Cerc 6 channel SATA controller for Raid 5. I had 6 (count them, 6) 750GB hard drives. The only problem is that the Cerc 6 has a 2 TB storage limitation. This means that you can’t setup all 6 drives on the same array.
Before you begin: Flash your motherboard and controller BIOS. Continue reading »

“…low interest rates, unscrupulous lending practices and outright greed as housing prices steadily climbed until 2006.”

I’m thoroughly annoyed with Microsoft and how they have yet to develop a good data migration tool… I can’t believe that I still have to use file transfers and complex SQL queries to move databases from one server to an other. Argh!

While PDSH is nothing new, it comes in really handy when you have to issue the same command on 100+ servers. Using pdsh, you can do a variety of things. In my case, I just restart the snmpd service using the following:
$ pdsh -w “root@host[01-100]” service snmpd restart
A couple of things to note:
- Run ssh-add to save yourself the headache of entering your password
- You have to install PDSH before you can run it.
Have fun!

Like irregardless. If there is one thing that pisses me off is the fact that people claim this is word based solely on the fact that it is listed in the dictionary.
Now, what does this word mean? Absolutely nothing! If there is a time for me to speak up, this is it. This word is used by people that want to sound smart. Irregardless of how you look at it, the word is an oxymoron!
In case if you didn’t get it, the last sentence was a joke…

Tony Robbins tells a great story about how we all trust every single day of our lives while driving our cars. The fact of the matter is–it takes a great deal of trust to drive down a road at 55 mph with another car coming the other way at 55 mph and only one white line separating the two of you. The potential for danger is great–you don’t know that other person; you don’t know if they’ve been drinking; you don’t know if they’ll stay on their side of the road. That, my friend, takes a lot of trust…
I have to sometimes remind myself of this.
