Re: [CentOS] Directory server import
Hi Thanks for replying. I have been looking at this one, I have only 2 problems with it: 1. Generate Nis maps I believe that this should be the command nismap create -i 1 -g " " -y auto.master but i am unsure if this is correct for my exercise since I need to generate for multiple ou, could someone please give an example? 2. it says on the migration tool that I need to change the $NSHOME and $serverId to make it compatible to the Netscape but do I have been looking around I still can not find where these variabels are declared, does anyone have a clue or some experience with these script?

[CentOS] Being Green, Time to make the servers sleep!
Shadies and Mentlemen; I am trying to be green and put our backup servers to sleep during the day and have them wake on LAN and fire back up at night for our nightly backups as "sleep" is a sort of low power usage mode. (At this point I would be curious to know the different levels of sleep, what can I achieve? Does my server just drop into a low power state, or can I stop the hard drives as well?) I am wondering if it is achievable to script the process of putting a server to sleep so I can cron tab its behind! I would assume it would be possible but I don't know how, does anyone have any idea? -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GIT/MU/U dpu s: a--> C++>$ U+> L++> B-> P+> E?> W+++>$ N K W++ O M++>$ V- PS+++ PE++ Y+ PGP t 5 X+ R- tv+ b+> DI D+++ G+ e(+) h--(++) r++ z++ --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you really have only one server running on your lan then you could also consider the following approach. I use the power-on-time BIOS feature most MB have. My server start itself every night at 01:55. It is then up and running just before 02:00. At 02:00 I schedule a cron job to do the backup. At the end of the backup, the script just powers off the machine. The only thing to experiment with is the time it takes to start the machine. Sometimes the startup takes longer if disks need to be checked (ext3, every so may boots) and the cron might not trigger. Using anacron is perhaps the safest option in this case, but I did not experiment with that. I could not use wake up on LAN, since the mirror is on a remote location were it is really the only server.

The initiative is taken by the backup server, not by the server that needs to be backed up. In principle both can be done if machines can talk to each other when up and running. In my situation my backup server is behind a home nat router and cannot be reached from the internet. The rc.local is indeed also an option that does not need cron.

I can not comment on how to do what your asking but I can see one potential problem. If your solution involves booting the backup server and during the boot an error is detected in the filesystem check the boot process will halt waiting for you to manually correct the problem. Of course you can avoid the problem by making your backup scripts on the primary server can implement a time limit on the wait for the backup server and if the wait times out then skip the backup. Someone out there more knowledgeable then I (and there are many) may be able to suggest a way to alter the boot to avoid the filesystem check (or the halt).

One can always put a time check in the rc.local file (or the script it starts). Eg if time-of-day >= 2am and time-of-day < 2:30am then start backup. This allows for a slow boot up (eg slow fsck or something like that). It is also possible for rc.local to start a backup daemon which checks local system activity and might do a back at some other time if the local load a really light and/or the time is some other 'dead of night' period, such as at 3am or 4am, if it appears that the 2am backup failed to start for some reason. This also allows for a 'failsafe' backup -- where you can arrange for the backup server to be fired up at additional dead period times. > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software-- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows hel...@deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Those checks are needed. You can lower the frequency of checking using tune2fs (not needed to check after a certain number of boots if you boot daily).

You would notice a problem with your backup server in this way. > I never figured out why the manufacturers thought that ATX was better than AT when it comes to Green? Yeah, off topic a bit, but an AT machine when turned off disconnects the power supply from the current. ATX, just powers down the computer, leaving the PS in a lowered power state, but apparently this can draw up to 60% of the working power needed. Funny to me that at the same time ATX came out, suddenly "Green" started showing on the bios screens. Yeah, it sleeps better during the day during non-use times until you get tired of waiting for it to wake up and turn all of that off, but it doesn't sleep nearly as well at night when everyone has quit for the day unless you put it on a switchable power strip. And I bet most people have no idea about the power consumption of an ATX machine and think it's using no power when the computer is not running. Of course, this has nothing to do with full time servers. We are wasteful in so many ways. TVs... same deal, just so that when we turn them on they start up faster and on and on and on it goes. But it is good that you are trying to help with your backup server. It would be interesting to put a wattmeter inline on the power cord to see how much current it's drawing running vs. in sleep state. I guess with an AT machine, one would have to use one of those old timers that switch on a plug something else that uses a bit of electricity, but I bet less than a power supply in sleep mode. Actually, one of those timers might be a good solution for you if you really want to be green. John Hinton ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I should also clarify that we did not fix the issue your user was experiencing a few days ago, as we were unable to duplicate the problem.

Tru: Thank you for reopening the trouble ticket at Layered Tech and posting their reply! John Pierce found there was a problem, in Dallas, when he did a lot of ping tests to centos.org the night of the 16th. There is a problem and if it isn't within Layered Tech, it must be at Level3 or where they connect. The other day, everyone else was able to load the web site, when I couldn't, so there must be something about our connection that makes the problem visible to me, but not to others. Or, that it involves something on the Level3 route from Miami to Dallas. However, John Pierce was also going in on Level3, from San Jose to Dallas, and he discovered a problem. I would assume, if I assume, that Layered Tech is the one who can report the problem to Level3. Possibly the problem is where Level3 does the interconnection to Layered Tech? This is what John Pierce posted the night of the 16th: "I did some more pinging later on from one of my servers in San Jose, California, and saw some signs of route instability at layeredwhazza where the next hop after what should have been the next-to-last one was coming from various routers all going 'no route to destination' " and John Stanley wrote on the 17th: "But doing another trace to layeredtech and ltdomains shows bad hops also from my end just like John Pierces shows. But still I can access it by WWW." > > I just ran a test from just-ping.com to your web server, and it looks very > good > from over 30 locations worldwide. He's right about that.

[CentOS] ssh - alternate ports, and host verification

Now if i connect to the IP (sine the public one is shared), anytime i connect to the other system, I get the host verification failed error and have to remove the IP from the known_hosts file.

[CentOS] pam_ldap and nss_ldap failover
I'm (finally) getting around to putting a backup LDAP authentication server on my network. The backup uses syncrepl to grab the database, and to my eyes both LDAP servers answer read queries identically. I'm testing the client side of this configuration on virtual CentOS 5 i386 machine. /etc/ldap.conf reads - %< - base dc=DOMAIN,dc=com timelimit 30 bind_timelimit 30 idle_timelimit 300 nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,[... trimmed ...] uri ldap://ldap1.DOMAIN.com ldap://ldap2.DOMAIN.com ssl start_tls tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts pam_password md5 - %< - The client will bind to whichever server is listed first after the 'uri' directive. In the config snippet, it's 'ldap1' -- but it works the other way too. If the first-listed server goes away, the client never seems to try to find or bind to the second-listed server (where "never" == my patience limit of about an hour). Once the first-listed server goes away, all password authentication fails, though getent passwd and getent group still work (presumably because of nscd). Has anyone else experienced this or, more importantly, figured out a way to get failover to work in a reasonable timeframe? -- Paul Heinlein <> heinl...@madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I recall that nss_ldap prior to CentOS 4.6 had trouble with this. We are on 4.7 and use the 'host' and 'port' options in our ldap.conf. It works as advertised. host ldap1.example.com ldap2.example.com port 389 ... As for the URI directive perhaps it works the same as it does in Apache mod_auth_ldap where you use the rather strange syntax of: AuthLDAPURL "ldap://ldap1.example.com ldap2.example.com/OU=example,DC=example,DC=com" Note the space between hostnames. The man pages are rather vague on the exact syntax for multiple hosts. Good luck, -- Jeff ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
