[CentOS] Migrating from RHEL to Centos
Hi, I m currently running my production servers on RHEL 4.6 would like to migrate to Centos4.6 as it has more benefits advantages. I looked at the Centos release notes available at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.6/os/i386/RELEASE-NOTES-en.html and understood that the basic difference between RHEL Centos are look/feel related binaries,functionalities are almost same. But when i compared the sysctl values of RHEL4.6 with Centos4.6, i found that there are lot of differences in the parameter values. Now my question is: 1) Just like sysctl difference, is there any other difference between RHEL Centos which could vary the performance needs to be taken care during migration. 2) When the Centos packages are built, are they built with the same configuration as in RHEL or is there any difference.

Re: [CentOS] backup question
Yep, and USB external hard drives are even cheaper per GB.

It lets you store the image in a variety of places (network mount via samba, NFS, or ssh), local disks which could be USB external, etc.).

Re: [CentOS] backup question
Gergely Buday wrote:
Dear CentOs users,
I have a centos server with nothing important at the moment, but I
would like to install some web-based project management tool (trac for
the curious) that would contain important data. And, as my network is
growing the configuration of the server is becoming complex. I would
like to have a proper backup so that I can restore the whole system
easily, should any problem occur. What do you recommend?
I'm not an expert on this, so my first idea is that I could do a per
application backup and create a tar file of the /etc. The latter
especially could be too naive. And, a push-the-button method that
handles all in once, not depending on the app number would be much
better.
Another thing: how I could do this to be safe across a centos upgrade?
I use dump (and restore). It works nice for ext3 file systems.
First you do a full dump (level 0) then you do an incremental dump (1 or
higher):
dumplevel=0
or for incremental
dumplevel=1
# To use ssh to connect to the remote host
export RSH=ssh
# then dump
dump -${dumplevel} -u -z -f remote_host:/sda1_dump /dev/sda1
You have to fill in your device and filename of course
See man dump/restore

Theo

you can simplify that line down to:
awk 'BEGIN { FS=: } /(smtp|SMTP)/ { printf %-30sOK\n, $NF }' $1
the -30 will make sure that everything aligns, because with just a tab
to separate the email addresses, you'll end up with a wonky OK column.
-30 pads out the first column to 30 characters.
also, I recommend changing the /(smtp|SMTP)/ to just /SMTP/ because if a
program is producing output like this from AD or LDAP, then the SMTP
will always be caps. You risk matching other lines in the log file that
don't match this format.
basically, this script separates a line by colons ':' and prints the
last field if the line fed to it contains 'smtp' or 'SMTP'. The $NF is
Number of Fields, so effectively prints the last field.

Well, the theory behind the case insensitivity is for users with more that one

The primary is always caps, but secondary's are lower case.

One of the machines had been sitting idle for about 2 months until I decided to revamp it with bigger drives and install CentOS 5. For the first install the floppy was working because I used it to install drivers for the RAID card - just as I was trying to do this time round ...and before you think I may have disturbed the innards, the old/new drives are in caddies so I only opened up the machine to swap out the floppy drive when I experienced problems. One server is an Acer G703 and the other has an Intel dual Xeon board in it so it's not motherboard-related. In all honesty, I made no assumptions. Just heaving out some ideas that might spark the thought that yields a solution. Multiple, coincidental failures? Maybe - I think I'll boot the new server on an old version of Knoppix and see what happens Sorry you didn't get it going. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a kernel parameter in grub that is affecting this? Or, since you mention xen in your other post, was it involved? BIOS? I know in real UNIX, the BIOS used to be essentially ignored. I'm not sure if Linux depends more on it (my gut feeling is that it does) and maybe it's affected by a BIOS setting? Of course, that would indicate that the others you mention ran successfully in you other post have a different discovery process going on. Chances: slim-to-none? I only keep wondering since mine worked fine once I gave it some power. I see you won't be chasing this, so I hope someone with more knowledge pursues this. I'm glad you got an acceptable solution for your needs though. snip sig stuff -- Bill ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There are the same issues with directories that users share with group permissions, but samba offers some extra options to force owner/group/permissions on newly created files that will help. That is something I need to fix, because I do have some issues with group accessed files, where certain operations require me to log in as root and run a script that cleans up the file ownership, otherwise some users can no longer access the files. Any pointers on where to find documentation on this? Newly created files default to having the group ownership of the primary group of the user creating it, and the RH scheme is to give every user his own group. You can do something like this in the samba share configuration: valid users = @groupname force group = groupname force create mode = 0775 force directory mode = 0775 How about if I just change the primary user group to being the user group that I want their files' group ownership set to? Would that just take care of it on the group side? Then I could just set the force create mode and force directory mode. You can find samba docs here: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ I have been using 'share' mode, but a little reading makes it sound like I should switch to 'user' mode to make my life easier. I have been adding various user permission lines to each share. Will they keep working if I just comment out those lines? Share vs. user doesn't make a difference in how things work after the connection is established - it controls when authentication happens. Share mode just lets you browse the share list before authenticating and you can connect to different shares with different credentials. You might look at webmin, since it has an option to maintain unix and samba passwords at the same time and it can also keep multiple machines in sync. Does anyone maintain webmin for Centos? I have most of the common repos hooked to yum, but webmin draws a blank. This is one of the reasons I usually install k12ltsp instead of the stock centos distribution (you don't lose anything, it just adds some extras and makes the updates yummable). You probably can grab the RPM directly from the webmin site. Can I just add a k12ltsp repo and use their webmin? There is also the issue that users who have root access to their own workstation can pretend to be any user over NFS. Not an issue in this situation, users do not have root access. Do they have the same uid/gid, and group lists on their workstations as on the file server? yes, got that straight a while back. Centralizing authentication will help if you have many users and password changes. But that can be as simple as turning on domain controller emulation on samba on your office2 server and configuring everything else (windows and Linux) to use it. Any pointers to where I could learn the implications/pluses/minuses of that? It might be useful with my multiple machines (real and virtual) per user. Samba authentication for linux just checks that a login/password match. You still have to create the users and if you use NFS, make sure the uid/gid's are all the same. For windows it works like a domain controller and once you've logged in as a windows user, you automatically authenticate to the samba shares as the same user and the server can force login scripts to run on the client. I looked at the How-To for domain control, and it looks interesting. I'll have to dig into that further.

Yes, that works if you only have one group that needs shared access or at least no one in overlapping groups. You do lose the ability to share your own stuff to members you add to your own group.
