I'm a unix sysadmin, currently working with security issues in internet banking and web services. I've previously worked with mail servers at a largish ISP, including handling abuse and spam issues.

comment pdsh command failed with connection refused
How about doing a web search for "r services unix" or "rsh"? You'll find loads of answers.

comment pdsh command failed with connection refused
The "r services" are rsh and its friends, who live in /etc/inetd.conf. But I'd advice you to first read the documentation for pdsh to figure out if you can make it connect through ssh; rsh and its friends have pretty much no concept of security.

Put code to do that in /etc/profile, and have that code check for group membership.

comment Installing Minor Software Updates
Usually they were installed with yum - man yum is a good place to start. Also I highly recommend reading all of access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/… and as much other RHEL docs as you can get your hands on.

comment concatenating multiple files with multiple headers
What do you want to happen in case both files contain the same information, e.g. if one line under "Numbers" is "3" in both files? Do you want it listed twice or only once?

comment How to display TCP handshake in Linux
True; I missed that in the comments. Which is a good example of why clarifications should be added to the question rather than hidden down in the comments...

comment How can I include an image in a Mailman footer?
They never ever read their emails on a smart phone or other device with a smaller screen or thinner pipe? The thing about having a "minimum message length" I take as a rhetorical question, since adding unnecessary text is it's just as likely to get people to unsubscribe as adding unnecessary images.

comment Rsync daemon intrepreting parameters as command in rsync.conf
Your startup script is trying to run /etc/rsync.conf as a shell script instead of reading it as a list of options. Please post your /etc/init.d/rsync script, as that is most likely the source of your problem.

comment Ubuntu crontab php not working
Agreed on the off-topic part. Also, you should google for how to set your EDITOR environment variable to an editor you understand how to use. (Hint: currently it's ed; you probably want something else.)
