How-To: Create Solaris Virtual/Alias Interface
by Dervish on Sep.25, 2009, under Uncategorized
1. Copy existing interface to new interface.
cp /etc/hostname.ce0 /etc/hostname.ce0:1
2. Edit the new hosntaname file and change the old hostname to the new one.
Example: server-ce0 to server-ce0-v1
3. Use the ifconfig plumb option to create the new interface.
ifconfig ce0:1 plumb
4. Assign the IP Address to the new interface.
ifconfig ce0:1 10.35.129.134 netmask 255.255.255.128 up
5. Verify interface is up and functional.
ifconfig -a
ce0:1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 10.35.129.134 netmask ffffff80 broadcast 10.255.255.255
6. Add new IP Address to /etc/hosts
<10.35.129.134 server-ce0-v1
To delete the interface:
ifconfig ce0:1 unplumb

Fedora 11 and xorg.conf
by Dervish on Sep.12, 2009, under Uncategorized
If you install Fedora 11 and find that your X11 display is less than ideal (as in it won’t do better than 800×600) run:
Xorg -configure :1
as root to create a new default xorg.conf.new in /root.
Run ‘X -config /root/xorg.conf.new’ to test the new config. If the display sizes properly, copy it to /etc/X11 and overwrite the existing xorg.conf. This was the only fix I needed in do in order to get my fresh clean spanky new install of Fedora 11 going.
Flowers & Knives
by Dervish on Sep.09, 2009, under Gazelles
On Earth, there are enemies behind every blade of grass. The knife must always be kept sharp, ready to cut and cleave the weeds that lurk amongst the garden. Flowers lead to forgetfulness. Flowers cause one to linger, and the knife to dull. The garden would be nought without the flowers, it’s true, but unless one is in the Garden of Heaven, do not fall asleep to the wonder, or one will end up nothing more than a rotting corpse destined to be food for the worms. The weeds are numerous and will stop at nothing to overrun and destroy the garden.
