cool script that make tracking your virtual machines really easy

Dominic Rivera form VMProfessionals made a very very very simple but extremly usefull script to track information about yout virtual machines

script can be found here, and here is my local copy of this script.

What does it do (from Dominic Rivera post):

snapalert.pl is a perl script written to identify which VMs in your environement currently have snapshots so you can take appropriate action, it works with both ESX and ESXi as there is no console component. Additionally it can be configured to send the report to you via email so you won’t have to remember to run it if you schedule the job.

To be little more secure if you are not a highly technical computer user just folow this tips, they should help you safeguard your personal and account information when using online services:

  • Install anti-virus software, a firewall and spyware-detection software on your PC and update this software on a regular basis, as recommended by the software providers. Remember, new viruses continue to be created. Always check to make sure the security software is running before accessing the Internet.
  • Keep your PC and browser updated with current patches that are released by your system vendor. Be sure to download patches only from official vendors’ Web sites, and not from third-party Web sites.
  • Do not respond to e-mails, Web pages or telephone inquiries requesting you to verify your account information. Bank never ask you to verify your account information, user name or password, via an e-mail using a non-secure Web site. Never provide personal or account information or respond to any attempt to collect this information. If you receive an unsolicited e-mail from your bank, or from any other source, requesting personal information or asking you to verify your accounts or security settings, I kindly suggest that you check with Your bank or the other entities to make sure these requests are legitimate.
  • Don’t take the bait from any “phishing” schemes. Forward all suspicious e-mails to your Mail Service Provider or Bank Suppor. For more information on Identity Theft and Phishing, or when your bank may contact you via e-mail, please visit your bank website of contact support.
  • Never share your password with anyone even someone you know. At your bank possibly, you can select your own online password and change it as often as you’d like. I suggest that you choose an alphanumeric password that contains a mix of numbers and letters. Do not use numbers or words that can be easily guessed (such as your phone or street number, or your child’s name

error after updating clamav from 0.92 to 0.93

Today after upgrading clamav

I clamav-0.93-2.x86_64, clamav-libs-0.93-2.x86_64
R clamav-0.92.1-2.x86_64, clamav-libs-0.92.1-2.x86_64

in PLD (TH (64bit)) i got sth like this:

LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddb(): No supported database files found in /var/lib/clamav
ERROR: Not supported data format

the solution is quite simple, just delete the previous virus signatures, and fresh it up

# rm -rf /var/lib/clamav/main.inc/
# rm -rf /var/lib/clamav/daily.inc/
# freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Wed May 7 23:51:29 2008
Downloading main.cvd [100%]
main.cvd updated (version: 46, sigs: 231834, f-level: 26, builder: sven)
Downloading daily.cvd [100%]
daily.cvd updated (version: 7052, sigs: 48784, f-level: 26, builder: ccordes)
Database updated (280618 signatures) from database.clamav.net (IP: 85.30.129.18)

after this… everything looks quite fine :)

# /etc/init.d/clamd start

problem with app-antivirus/clamav-0.93 in gentoo

Today i tried to update the clamav to the newer version, and i got some strange message:

* Messages for package app-antivirus/clamav-0.93:
*
* ERROR: app-antivirus/clamav-0.93 failed.
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile
* environment, line 2828: Called econf ’src_compile’ ’src_compile’ ‘–disable-zlib-vcheck’ ‘–enable-id-check’ ‘–enable-bzip2′ ‘–enable-nls’ ‘–with-iconv’
* ebuild.sh, line 513: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* die “econf failed”
* The die message:
* econf failed
*
* If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
* A complete build log is located at ‘/var/tmp/portage/app-antivirus/clamav-0.93/temp/build.log’.
* The ebuild environment file is located at ‘/var/tmp/portage/app-antivirus/clamav-0.93/temp/environment’.

It is strange because i have the newest gcc, without this bug… the avaliable answers on the Net - upgrade the gcc to version without bug (does not affect my configuration), the another one is to change /etc/make.conf file from sth like

CFLAGS=”-O0…”

insead of recommended

-O2

then the emerge process will go dapperly
