So I got owned yesterday before leaving for work.

There's this project with three database boxes, IBM somethings running AIX. Anyway, our security team did their normal scans and identified a bunch of APARs that need to be installed, that of course were only released like 65 days ago. Thankfully there's a bundle. Then on top of that, I get to read through this spreadsheet to that lists all of the ports open on the system, and identify why they are open and what is using them.

Of course lsof isn't installed, so now I get to do that on top of the service pack update :\.

****in a.

 

Spotting?

 

How'd your cutesy poo vmware setup go?

 

Its going... i had no idea we were even going to use this route, last week i was told to just play around with it & test the viability & now they want to go live with it... im no linux admin either i've only played around with it at home so this should be interesting.

 

So you installed the vmware free product and created a linux virtual box, or you're using something like FC 8 with RH virt?

 

I installed the linux version of vmware server in ubuntu 7.10 server & im running win2k server & win2k3 server virtual machines.

 

Wow, that, uh, sounds fun.

 

who needs secks when you have all that.

 

Not really... well it was fun to play with but not so fun now that i have to get it live. Especially since im learning linux as i go.

 

Too bad you didn't use Fedora, I could have helped you. I've never used ubuntu. It's probably not all that different, but it sounds like it's different enough.

 

yay for drama.

bahhhhh.

 

Way to get Jack in trouble.

 

Someone say Drama?

 

I think its pretty similar.... i dunno why theres so many different variants. I didnt install any GUI so i did everything command line.
