If you use the same interfaces for both iscsi and regular
network-traffic I would simply use only bonding. If you use dedicated
interfaces for iscsi, multipathing may be more interesting. Can you
describe why you want ot use both at the same time?

We only have a few servers with more to come so it is not a massive amount of

Hi all,

I would like to daily logrotate the squid log files at everyday at
00:00(midnight) at some RHEL 5.x systems. I havent used cron things
for a long time so i forgot all about it. Also i have the
logrotate.conf  and /etc/logrotate.d/squid file.

i have tried to add a /usr../sbin/rotate -k thing as a cron job but it
seem to be unsuccessfull.  Googling makes some mind mixing samples
etc. also using crontab -e command brings an empty file, other than
the one i find crontab.

So is there someone who will shortly explain the cron related files
and usage , also making the squid rotate its daily logs easily.   Most
of the resources (including books) makes confusing the minds at these
simple subjects. Couldnt see  a step by step guide.

Regards

We have two RedHat 5.3 systems on which we need to install ENVI, a  
mapping graphics program.

ENVI needs  libXp.so.6 which is included in the old

> XFree86-libs-4.3.0-128.EL.x86_64.rpm
> XFree86-libs-data-4.3.0-128.EL.x86_64.rpm

packages.

When we install these packages on the RH 5.3 systems, the console on  
the systems goes totally blank.  On reboot we get a solid blue screen.

We need a work around for the RH system or from ITT for ENVI.

Thank you for any suggestions.

First recommendation would be to contact RH support for their
suggestions on this.

Second thing that comes to mind is that probably the above package is
stepping on the "real" libXp.so.6?  You might be able to extract the
RPM to /opt instead and tell your application to look for its libraries
under that hierarchy instead.
