crashdump analysis on windows
2008/07/24
after spending a couple of hours debugging my brother-in-law’s crashing computer (& in german, just to make it easier), I ran into this site http://www.dumpanalysis.org/ which is so good I might just have to buy a few of the books listed on it.
running OpenAFS on Ubuntu inside EC2

apt-get install openafs-fileserver
# set cell name to muse.net.nz
# set cache size to 10Gb
# set cellDB to afsdb.muse.net.nz
# update /etc/openafs/CellServDB
>muse.net.nz #home
121.73.27.12 #afsdb.muse.net.nz
rm /etc/openafs/server/CellServDB; ln -s /etc/openafs/CellServDB /etc/openafs/server/CellServDB
# sweet!
three changes required -
- configure sendmail to use a remote host for all mail in /etc/mail/submit.cf
# changes to fwd mail directly to smart host
#D{MTAHost}[127.0.0.1]
D{MTAHost}[smtp.muse.net.nz]
- configure local aliases mapping to remap users to a destination address in /etc/mail/aliases
# Well-known aliases — these should be filled in!
# root:
root: root@muse.net.nz
- permit relaying on smart host (postfix in my case) in /etc/postfix/main.cf
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain, akai.$mydomain
