The rsync man page notes that the “-e” or “–rsh” flag lets you “specify the remote shell to use”. This can be used to specify transfer over a non-standard SSH port using the “-p” flag to the ssh binary:

28-Dec-11389 Directory Server Font Requirements
22-Feb-11If you are installing a 389 Directory Server instance on a headless (no X11) CentOS installation, you need extra font packages not included as 389 dependencies. (Otherwise, e.g. no text may appear when you launch “389-console”.) I verified this listing works; a subset may work, but I have not tested against one. ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1.1 xorg-x11-fonts-base-7.1-2.1.el5 xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.1-2.1.el5 [...]

Initializing an SVN repository
16-Mar-09To initialize a Subversion repository, use the svnadmin command. In its simplest form: > svnadmin create /var/svn/repos For an HTTP repository, it might be something like the following: > sudo -H -u www svnadmin create /var/svn/repos References: “Creating the Repository” Version Control with Subversion
Use NetBackup’s bpexpdate. For example, to set tape 001038 to never expire (actually, this sets it to expire sometime in 2038, but close enough for those of us living in 2009): bpexpdate -m 001038 -d infinity To expire 001038 immediately: bpexpdate -m 001038 -d 0
