Announcement: next opensolaris user group meeting (chicago): http://ping.fm/u26Up
Related code is here (lines 218-221): http://ping.fm/VZjVB
Nuance of the day: Use passwd -N to enable an app acct. (eg the mysql "user") to own cron jobs...
@glynnfoster VRRP? Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol?
@puppetmasterd Good point, it gets worse as you follow more tho of course. For me, fwiw my upper limit nowadays is ~40, (vs. e.g. your 140+)
But apparently a lot of SMF services define the service's config files in the method script instead of the SMF properties facility. :-(
svcprop -p config_data/entities -p config/config_file 2> /dev/null `svcs -H -a -o FMRI | grep -v lrc:`
Anyone already tackled how configuration mgmt entities could be programatically (i.e. "canonically") defined on opensolaris? I tried this:
... That is, given the mostly too-lengthy, rambly, lazy (as in post-recording cleanup) state of Linux/Unix/FOSS podcast offerings nowadays.
... Incidentally, that podcast, sourcetrunk, is easily one of my favorite shows lately. Although that's not saying much really...
@tomww Yeah, that concept hit me big-time when I heard the absolute /ecstasy/ over virtualbox expressed here: http://tinyurl.com/6boc5o

Feeling like a Margarita... just finished creating a Mailman/Postfix test server in a zone, mostly from the ground up. And bonus, it works!
@ceri re: 4500->4540. Your top ~3 being...? (On the other hand maybe I'd be better off not knowing what I'm missing! :) )
... The Storage Community (http://ping.fm/xfhxd) guys made systems administration a 1st-class citizen on their webspace. Smart move.
Nice sys-admin action: Here's some major clue-fullness that I'd love to see spread across other OpenSolaris Community portals...
@stevel 20 feet? Yikes. Only /kinda/ banged up? What's a leaderfall?
@stevel Nice... Major props for Songird by Fabian of Linux Outlaws http://linuxoutlaws.org/. (Episode #45)
