Probably a series of smaller Tips and Tricks would be better here,
just like the rpm page.

So have a TipsAndTricks/Samba page and then have subpages off that,
maybe?

Re: [CentOS-docs] Samba

2008-09-01 Thread prabhat kumar
Hi Everyone,
I have a few windows XP professional machine and a inux server running
machine with samba,
Now,
I want to make a centralized XP  user's using samba server for user
authentication, as we are doing in Active Directory service.
In one word I want implement roaming profile.
 (mean suppose there is user sam, now sam can login from any windows XP
machine since samba will manage user informatation and profile along with
authentication )

How do I do this?

thanks

 Hi Fabian,

 Thanks for sharing your thoughts.



 Getting deeper into the advanced topics of Samba explaining how to
configure the backend (old smbpasswd, newer tdbsam, or ldap when acting as a
pdc), how to integrate in existing Samba/Windows domain/AD , explaining
Filesystem ACLs seem better suited for samba.org since anyone who wants to
implement that really needs intimate knowledge of their environment. I don't
think they would want to read a summarized version in a CentOS wiki.

 Comments?

 Thanks,
 -will

 I agree with your view.  I would suggest you get started with a draft 
 and we can all join in and make it most suitable for CentOS users.

 Akemi


 Agreed - many hands make light work for a task like this.

 As a thought - I'm wondering if the topic needs slitting up into 
 multiple sections/pages? Maybe something like:

 An introduction/overview to samba (users, file permissions etc) Basic 
 samba setup with example (security=share) Group shares with examples 
 (security=user) Printing AD integration etc ...
---
How about Security=AD err domain How To; See previous Post on this.

JohnStanley
---

That seems to me to be the best way.   Let's try to put ourselves in the
shoes of someone who just tried to set up samba.  Ok, he can go to the basic
guide that Will writes.  (Or anyone--and yeah, those of us using older
versions of EMC Celerra at work are stuck on CentOS 4.4--I've lost track, I
think it was Will who mentioned they'd overlooked people using older
versions, but as we're talking about Samba, it's appropriate.  5.x versions
don't work, and I haven't yet tried with later versions of 4.x, though I
have to once my current project is done.)

Ok, that's the home user.  Now come the sysadmins, and for them, something
like AD might be important.  So, they go to the CentOS wiki, and they see,
aha, an AD article. (If anyone is interested, I have my own--though about 96
percent is from the samba wiki--at
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/adsamba.html. ) And so
forth--therefore, I think this idea is excellent. 

I would also make the strong recommendation that EVERY article about samba
makes reference to the troubleshooting guides CentOS provides in the
/usr/share/doc/ directory--it's also on the samba website at
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/diagnosis.html

That can really be an invaluable resource for all levels of user.  


 That way folks could chip in more easily on the bits they feel able to 
 contribute towards and it needn't seem like a herculean task from the 
 outset.

 Thoughts?

See above. :)

 Hey you volunteered Good explanations on it also.

Shucks John, you have to trim more aggressively, I almost missed the

I had thought about offering the article--my only caveat is that it is
so close to the samba wiki's version that I'm not sure if it would annoy

As for roaming profiles, I haven't done it, so I don't feel capable
of doing that one.

 Mas de 4GB instalados en el servidor tenes que usar sistemas de 64bits,

Bueno, es algo así, mi comentario es:

Para más de 3.2GB debes instalar kernel-PAE en vez de kernel.. el

de hecho tengo algunos servidores con más de 3.2GB y funcionan bien.

En sistemas operativos de 64bits no hay kernel-PAE pues pueden

En efecto las Mobo son medio complejas a veces, tuvimos un servidor al

[CentOS-es] cluster en centos

2008-09-01 Thread moncho
Hola lista,
Soy nuevo en la lista, ya he usado centos para otras aplicaciones, pero ahora 
me quiero proponer usarlo en un cluster de 4 equipos, pero nunca he tenido la 
oportunidad de aprender de alguien o a través de algún cursillo, por lo que me 
quiero remangar las mangas para hacerlo yo solo.

Primero necesito me indiquen el hardaware necesario para un cluster de alta 
disponibilidad y balanceo de carga.
Segundo las herramientas necesarias para esto

Ya he revisado las guías de red hat respecto a la suite, y me gustaría saber de 
las experiencias de ustedes.
Tengo 4 equipos para usarlos en este cluster como no hay más plata no se me 
ocurre un SAN o algo por el estilo, por lo que la información deber ser 
compartida entre todos los nodos.

En principio es mi primera vez en probar, por lo tanto no tengo ni idea de como 
empezar.

Saludes cordiales y espero que puedan compartir sus experiencias

Yo tengo instalado el Kernel 2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp y mi servidor tiene 4GB, ¿puedo

Bueno, parece ser CentOS-4 lo que está muy bien!, pero en CentOS-4 no 
había kernel-PAE


kernel  900MB
kernel-smp  4GB (leí en algún lado que soportaba hasta 16GB pero no lo 
creo realmente).


para usar más de esa memoria (4GB) necesitabas el kernel-hugemem

yum install kernel-hugemem

cuestión a considerar: nunca tuve la dicha de manejar más de 4GB de 
memoria en CentOS-4... pero estoy seguro que funcionará.

[CentOS-es] Duda sobre Samba+WINS

2008-09-01 Thread Jorge García
Buenas tardes amigos, tengo esta pequeña duda que espero me puedan
ayudar a resolver.

En un servidor Samba hay unos cuantos usuarios y un par de carpetas
compartidas, está configurado con la opción de USER en seguridad, la
pregunta es la siguiente:
Para habilitarlo como WINS y usarlo con el resto de equipos que no
entran a ver las carpetas compartidas, ¿es necesario que esos usuarios
extras tengan su usuario y clave en Samba?

Gracias por su ayuda.

[CentOS] How to check for rootkit, troians etc in backed up files?

2008-09-01 Thread M. Fioretti
Hi,

there is a remote (VPS) Centos 4.2 server which *may* have been
compromised. Reinstalling everything from scratch isn't a problem, it
may even be an occasion to improve a few things, the question is
another.

There are backups of necessary shell script, ASCII configuration files
and more or less important email (maildir format, if it matters)
including messages with binary attachments in .doc, .pdf, .jpeg and
other formats. What is, in the context above, the best way to make
sure that **those** backed up files (which _must_ be put back on the
server after reinstall) do not contain any rootkit, troian, virus,
whatever? Which Centos / linux tool you'd recommend for this specific
case?

TIA,
Marco

[CentOS] kickstart problems

2008-09-01 Thread Paolo Supino
Hi

  I'm having a problem with setting up a kickstart environment based on
CentOS 5.2 x86_64, on a Sun X2200 M2 server (both the server and the client
in the kickstart environment are Sun X2200 M2 systems): the first attempt to
load stage2.img fails with the error screen: unable to retrieve
http://192.168.11.10/source/images/stage2.img;. Pressing the OK button
brings up the HTTP Setup  screen with Website name: 192.168.11.10 and
CentOS directory: /source if I press OK it successfully loads stage2.img
file and continues with the kickstart installation to a successful
completion.
I checked the apache logs on 192.168.11.10 and there is no attempt by the
client to even load stage2.img before it prompts for the error.
  Has anyone encounter this problem and has a solution for it?

Re: [CentOS] Help using ed [OT]

 Hi
 
 Perhaps omeone might answer this tricky problem. I can do this other 
 ways, but i really want to understand how to solve it using ed. I have 
 one solution using g/re/s/re//txt/ , but I want to understand how or if 
 i can solve it using the ed (.)a command.

OK. But keep in mind that many folks (and distros?) believe ed is
hopelessly outdated and some even advocate its removal from
distributions. Thankfully some other packages(s) depend on it.

You would be better off using other techniques, sed, (g)awk, some minor
programming language, perl, ...

Regardless, you can't do it precisely as you desire do to the nature or
ed. It's a pure context-sensitive editor.

Fortunately us outdated relics hang together and I can offer a solution.
Whether it is acceptable to you is another matter. More discussion
below.

 
 A script i have parse several files and append text after a specific 
 text is matched. If one file do not have this text, i get a no match and 
 the script terminates. How can I avoid this behavior keeping the 
 original coding style for ed and append text. I have tried tried but 
 still cannot get it correct using (.)a. Is it even possible to do it 
 that way using the (.)a command?

You have a basic problem with trying to do it without commands using a
range, such as those in your second example.

From man ed:

DIAGNOSTICS
   When an error occurs, if ed’s input is from a regular file or
   here document, then it exits, otherwise it prints a ‘?’ and
   returns to  command mode. An  explanation  of  the last error can
   be printed with the ‘h’ (help) command.

From 1) memory, 2) recent review of man page, there is no way around
this.

Further, your specification of the file leaves a lot to the imagination.
If there are more than 26 instances of addresses you need to add some
more to my sample script to remove existing marks, after they are done
being used, and mark again. Repeat, rinse until done.

If there is more than one occurrence of any pattern, my sample is
inadequate, due to the use of marks to get around ed's inability to
handle a not-found silently and gracefully. This example will process
only the last occurrence.

Although ed is very fast, if the target files are large this may be slow
due to the repeated traversal of the buffers. With a limit of only 26
items (in my example) this may not be an issue.

Once again, you really need to be using some stream processor, as
suggested above.

 
 Thanks in advance
 Thomas

 Interestingly enough, we use top posting 99% of the time at work, even though 
 it takes extra effort to do so in thunderbird.  We had a new employee that

ISTR that T'bird has preferences for this. Not so? I use it and have NP

BTW, I don't think bottom posting is as good as interspersed text, but
it is less labor-intensive (for the *poster*) to just do top or bottom.

Hmmm, Processor Technologies used to have a voice coil actuated dual

motorized eject, thing is you had to wait for the disk to complete eject
before you grabbed it, if you grabbed it before it finished coming out

This discussion really should be on the classic computers mail list.

   Has anyone encounter this problem and has a solution for it?

Network autoconfiguration failed, most likely there is not
a compatible driver for the network card in your system.

If there is a driver disk for that NIC you can use that, what
I typically have done in the past is build an updated driver from
source and insert it into the installation program which is a
fairly complicated process involving extracting the initrd, the
modules.cgz inside of it, putting the compatible driver built
against the same kernel into the modules config and recompressing
the modules file, updating the pci device table for the new device,
and rebuilding the initrd. Also adding a step in the %post section
to install a compatible driver with whatever kernel the installer
ends up installing so when the system reboots it has network
connectivity.

I also repeat the first part of the process where I insert the
kernel, again in the stage 2 netinst.img? file(forgot off hand
exactly what the file is called), it may not be required for
network drivers, but I think it is for storage drivers, I forget,
been a while since I had to do it.

Interestingly enough, we use top posting 99% of the time at work, even though it takes extra effort to do so in thunderbird.  We had a new employee that started with us, and used bottom posting on some of her replies, and most people thought that her replies were empty.  

Food for thought, I guess.  

I follow the principle of when in Rome, do as the Roman's do. Just because 
this list and others ask for bottom posting, you don't need to change your 
entire message world. It isn't that hard to remember where you are and what 
they ask, especially if you get *chastised*  a few times.


I say do as you want to do, but you will take the chance that the only 
response to your plea for help might be a public spanking. If that is OK for 
you, then take your chances. If you want to be sure you get help when you need 
it, then follow the rules of the list you are on.


We have freedom to do what we want, but others also have freedom to deal with 
it in whatever manner they see fit.


Freedom of speech also gives freedom to ignore it!

8 floppies. Now that does bring back a memory for me. I was working
on a project in Texas. The customer was in Kentucky as I recall.
I fixed a problem and gave an 8 floppy to our Shipping department, to
send to the customer. The customer called me on the phone, to
inform me that the floppy had been bent, so it would fit into the box.
As I recall, it did work, after he straightened it out. For the rest
of the time that I worked there, I packed things myself, before they
were shipped, and that wasn't my job. I couldn't believe someone in
the Shipping department was that stupid.
Are you kidding? The shipping and the mailroom departments are usually the 
first place that get their budgets cut. That is where every bodies kids get 
summer jobs, and are often very transient in employment.

OK. But keep in mind that many folks (and distros?) believe ed is
hopelessly outdated and some even advocate its removal from
distributions. Thankfully some other packages(s) depend on it.

Instead of ``ed' one can use ``ex'' which should be in any distribution as
its part of ``vi'' or ``vim''.  I think the command set of ``ed'' is a
subset of ``ex'' so scripts should work the same.

I frequently use the gnu shtool program for this sort of thing unless the

Maybe if the OP reviews the ex stuff he'll have an easier time of it.

  You'll want to merge the grub boot stanzas

 when you do kernel

 This way, you won't have

  OK, thx for the quick reply but I realy don't know

It's handy that someone posted their grub file.

The answer to your question/situation might be complicated by the fact that you 
use you have been changing your boot up disk in your BIOS.

But the thing to look for in your grub.conf file is:

 title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.1.el5)
 root (hd0,2)
 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5 ro

Note that this example includes an entry for a hard drive:

 root (hd0,2)

That entry points to the first hard drive, third partition.  If you
have 2 hard drives, and you wanted to boot off the second drive
first partition, you might use:
root (hd1,0)

You basically want to look at the grub configuration for each OS on
each hard drive you installed it on, and in consolidating them, cut
and paste entries from what you want to be your secondary drive to
your primary boot drive.

Again, this is only using the above grub.conf as an example.  If you
have SCSI hard drives instead then probably the grub.conf will show
something like:
   root (sd0,2)

So it's important to look at your grub.conf and make modifications.

Hope this helps.  If you want more specific advice, then post BOTH
grub.conf files, and tell us which one will be from what you want to
be your secondary drive, and what you want to be your primary drive
(in BIOS).

Hmm... for CentOS this would be:

Become root (or use sudo - your choice...)
1. 'mkswap /dev/xxx'
2. Put the entry into /etc/fstab
3. 'swapon -a' (This will ensure that your fstab entry is good.  If it
doesn't load up, something's wrong...)
4. Recreate your initial ramdisk.  You could do something like:
'mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.img 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5' but
I'd recommend creating a new ramdisk (different filename) and creating a
new test grub entry...

add bothe Linux versions I've into one

   You'll want to merge the grub boot stanzas
  into one file, apply it to
   one (or both) of the drives, and keep it in sync
  when you do kernel
   updates (because those affect the grub menu)...
  This way, you won't have
   to change the BIOS setting.
  
 
   OK, thx for the quick reply but I realy don't know
  how to do that can any
   one help on that note.
 
 
  Possibly what you need to do is add another entry in your
  /etc/grub.conf file, on the HD you boot from.  Below is
  mine.

 It's handy that someone posted their grub file.

 The answer to your question/situation might be complicated by the fact that
 you use you have been changing your boot up disk in your BIOS.

 But the thing to look for in your grub.conf file is:

  title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.1.el5)
  root (hd0,2)
  kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5 ro

 Note that this example includes an entry for a hard drive:

  root (hd0,2)

 That entry points to the first hard drive, third partition.  If you
 have 2 hard drives, and you wanted to boot off the second drive
 first partition, you might use:
root (hd1,0)

 You basically want to look at the grub configuration for each OS on
 each hard drive you installed it on, and in consolidating them, cut
 and paste entries from what you want to be your secondary drive to
 your primary boot drive.

 Again, this is only using the above grub.conf as an example.  If you
 have SCSI hard drives instead then probably the grub.conf will show
 something like:
   root (sd0,2)

 So it's important to look at your grub.conf and make modifications.

 Hope this helps.  If you want more specific advice, then post BOTH
 grub.conf files, and tell us which one will be from what you want to
 be your secondary drive, and what you want to be your primary drive
 (in BIOS).

Hi,

   Thank you very much for responding for my plea for help and after
some painful hours of search and going through some forums I got what I want
and it's working now here is my grub.conf on the SATA drive which I wanted
to be my primary booting drive.

Re: [CentOS] kickstart problems

2008-09-01 Thread Paolo Supino
Hi Nate

  Autoconfiguration failure makes sense, but it's not a drivers issue:
1: It's a broadcom tg3 driver that is well supported in the kernel.
2: the kernel fetches successfully the kickstart configuration file I supply
it in the command line and
3: After the error comes up I get the HTTP setup configuration screen with
the source website (in IP) and CentOS directory as I entered them in the
pxeconfiguration file and as it appears in the kickstart configuration file
and all I have to do is press the 'OK' button to continue the installation
to a successful completion.
4. Sniffing the network showed the following: the kernel fetches the
kickstart file, fails to fetch 'product.img' file prints out the error
message of being unable to fetch 'stage2.img' file and only when I press the
'OK'  button in the HTTP setup window actually contacts the HTTP server and
successfully fetches 'stage2.img' file.

  My guess is that my configuration isn't handled properlly by anaconda, I
just need to find out where (or change my configuration so that anaconda
will handle it properly).

  I (out of haste of getting this email out) omitted the configuration files
I use in the kickstart configuration. So here they are ...
pxelinux.cfg/C0A80B02:
default ks
prompt 0
label ks
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 ksdevice=bootif noapic

Has anyone encounter this problem and has a solution for it?

 Network autoconfiguration failed, most likely there is not
 a compatible driver for the network card in your system.

 If there is a driver disk for that NIC you can use that, what
 I typically have done in the past is build an updated driver from
 source and insert it into the installation program which is a
 fairly complicated process involving extracting the initrd, the
 modules.cgz inside of it, putting the compatible driver built
 against the same kernel into the modules config and recompressing
 the modules file, updating the pci device table for the new device,
 and rebuilding the initrd. Also adding a step in the %post section
 to install a compatible driver with whatever kernel the installer
 ends up installing so when the system reboots it has network
 connectivity.

 I also repeat the first part of the process where I insert the
 kernel, again in the stage 2 netinst.img? file(forgot off hand
 exactly what the file is called), it may not be required for
 network drivers, but I think it is for storage drivers, I forget,
 been a while since I had to do it.
