Pan1? After googling it, I found out that it has to do with bluetooth. But I am not working with bluetooth right now! What is going on. Should I switch it off?

How To Find Out What Subnet My Eth Belongs To

Hi all

I got this interesting problem:

I have a server that has two ethernet connections, cabled up to the switch.

The server has a clonezilla liveboot cd in it which I am currently booting from. The clonezilla is a debian OS.

So from the cmd line I can see I have two eth interfaces that is connected, eth0 and 2.

Now I need to configure one of these two interfaces to do let clonezilla do its job.

The problem is that each of these two interfaces are going to different subnets. I got the two subnets, which we will just call them A and B. And I can't recall whether A belongs on eth0 or B belongs there.

Now I know there is a simple solution to this: config one and try it out. I could do that, in fact I will do that just to save time. But I was wondering, cause when I did ifconfig I can see from the packet counters that these two interfaces are live, if there is some other way to monitor these two interfaces, and by looking at the packets that is being sent to these interfaces, I can determine which interface goes with which subnet?

Or phrased another way: you just installed a new computer, and have plugged in the internet cable, but you forgot to put an IP address on it and really don't want to wait for your IT guy to come in on monday to tell you what your IP is and dhcp is not an option. What do you do?

Thanks
Feel free to ask questions if anything is not clear.

Sharing Internet Through Data Cable From A Mobile That Is Already Sharing Via Wifi

Hello everybody,

I am seeking help regarding sharing internet connection. I would be greatful.

I have;
A Laptop : Samsung RV509, i3, 300GB HDD, 3GB Ram, Dual boot Windows7 & LM 17 cinnamon 32bit. WiFi & Bluetooth available. A Desktop PC : Celeron CPU 2.4GHZ, 40 GB HDD, 1GB RAM, LiveUSB-LM 17 cinnamon 32bit, No WiFi hardware available, No Bluetooth hardware available. A mobile phone : Nokia Asha 500, WiFi & Bluetooth available. An old USB data cable: with which the mobile phone can be connected to the computers. I have successfully connected and transfered data back & forth, and also shared/connected Mobile-Broadband-internet to both Laptop and Desktop.

What I have been doing now is; I have an internet connection to my Laptop with an external modem and Ethernet. Its working fine. I have an unlimited plan and so I want to share this internet connection on the mobile phone too; instead of incuring extra cost by connecting to the internet directly through the phone. I am successful at that. I can share this internet connection on my phone through WiFi.

Now, what I want to do is; without buying any extra hardware, to share this same internet connection on my Desktop PC, too.

What I tried is; I searched the web, but didn't find any solution. Now I am here. Please kindly help me.

Thank you & Regards

Sudo Is Can Not Find Program / Path Related Issues

I am toying around with a LFS system and I am suddenly having trouble with sudo not finding binaries in the standard superuser only binary dirs (/sbin /usr/sbin). I am using sudo version 1.8.10p3. The sudoers file parses correctly and I did not modify except to allow users in the wheel group to be able use sudo to call any command. So I imaging something is wrong with the $PATH variable but I am not sure on what it is.

Write Permissions To External Drive

I have an external disk but I can only write to it using sudo, not as my normal user.

The commands I've issued a
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/USBSSD
sudo mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /media/USBSSD
sudo chmod 777 /media/USBSSD
sudo mkdir /media/USBSSD/share

How can I set it up so that other users can write to it?

How To Run A "sudo" Script Without Password

Hi all,
I have a script where every line needs to be prefixed with sudo.
I was advised to run it as $ sudo /path/to/file.sh

This script needs to be scheduled in crontab to run. If I run it as above, will I be prompted for a password?
Also, one of the lines in the script is;
scp -r root@rem_server:/source/dir /local/dir
Does that mean I will have to provide two passwords: one for sudo and one for root?

Thanks,
