OS X: Disable Automount for a Specific Partition

In order to do this, you have to fire up a bit of terminal. If you are not familiar with the underlines of UNIX, you should document yourself more before proceeding.

So, I have a partition which I do not want to be automatically mounted on reboot because it is used by one virtualbox machine.
1. List the partitions with diskutil command:
mini:~ osx$ diskutil list

Alternative to finger command? Sure: pinky :)

You use finger command in order to check user information. What if it's missing?
The official replacement for the original finger command and it’s part of the gnu coreutils package, it is called pinky and it’s available on all systems that use the gnu coreutils.

How to create a hash password from text

For this example I will user md5 but in similar way you can use whatever you want in order to create a hash version of your text password.
As a security note, I do not recommend using md5 to generate hash passwords because today it is very easily broken. This is jut a proof of concept.

Unix/Linux:

1. Create file whatever.txt with the new password in it AND NOTHING ELSE (no new line, no space at the end, no nothing, just the password).
2. Execute the combination of tr and md5sum commands below:

How to resume failed scp transfer

You must know that scp do not have resume option but you can turn to rsync for this.

So, if the scp transfer failed:

# scp file_to_transfer lame@remotehost:/path/

You can resume with rsync like this:

# rsync --partial file_to_transfer lame@remotehost:/path/file_to_transfer

SMF Tips and Tricks

I got this SMF forum for my wife and is working very well. I am very satisfied with SMF.
However, sometimes you get into trouble with it and the worst part is you do not have much logs to work with. Also, apache logs won't help much either.

So, below you will find things I encountered.

Debian: pdo_mysql.so: undefined symbol: pdo_parse_params in Unknown on line 0

You are here because you got this error when trying to run php via command line:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20100525/pdo_mysql.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20100525/pdo_mysql.so: undefined symbol: pdo_parse_params in Unknown on line 0

Also, you probably use Debian Squeeze and you recently did software update.
If yes, read on for a fix.

AIO on AIX

AIO subsystems in 6.1 and later are loaded by default and not activated. It is implemented as kernel service instead of using special device aio0 as in previous AIX versions. The kernel module tuning (maxservers, minservers, etc.) is implemented via ioo command.
In order to check the available aio tunables, you must use the following command:

# ioo -L | grep aio

The moment application initiates the AIO I/O requests, the subsystems are automatically started.

AIX: Error changing "groups" on mkuser or useradd command

See some solutions below.

Debian: reinstall zfs when changing the linux kernel

Your zfs was working properly but you have upgraded your system, including the kernel, and your zfs is no more available.
This is normal because zfs was compiled for the other one.
So all you will have to do is to execute the following commands (do not forget of course to install/put in place the needed linux source or headers before that):

Centrify Useful Commands and Information

If you do not know what Centrify is, most probably you do not need the commands below. However if you are curious, more info can be found on their website: http://www.centrify.com

In a nut shell, Centrify allows UNIX/Linux/OSX machines to join Active Directory. In Centrify enabled environment, you will have only one AD account to connect on all systems, no matter the platform (Windows, Linux, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Mac OS X, etc.).

Thou shalt not steal!

If you want to use this information on your own website, please remember: by doing copy/paste entirely it is always stealing and you should be ashamed of yourself!
Have at least the decency to create your own text and comments and run the commands on your own servers and provide your output, not what I did!
