Solved — The box didn’t retain my permissiable SELinux environment after a yum update. With a ‘sudo setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1’ there was a mighty noise and it started allowing public read-only access to the share. Someone liked my work (that they help me do) so well, that recently they requested I share the file with…
While taking part in a storage install the last few days, including creating and deleting quite a few RAID groups and so forth, I’ve had to click on quite a few “Are you SURE?!” dialog boxes, even for completely idle, never-used LUNs. Here’s an idea for storage management folks: keep a bitmap of recently-accessed LUNs….
I’ve been busy lately, so I’ve been catching up on my RSS feeds in Google Reader on Saturday mornings while having coffee. This morning I read a post from 37signals that, among other things, mentioned keeping your email INBOX as empty as possible.
