Cesar, complementa los consejos que has recibido de la lista con ACL's,

  Muchas gracias por la aclaración ya me imaginaba que la sesión queda
 iniciada por eso ya no pide clave, ahora he probado en las máquinas
 windows y funciona bien la autenticación aquí solo me pide clave no el
 usuario, pero en las máquinas con windows vista o windows 7 pide el
 usuario pongo el usuario y clave y no funciona, la pregunta es hay que
 agregar algo extra en la configuración del archivo samba para que
 funcionen las maquinas con windows 7 o vista

yum update kernel kernel-headers kernel-devel

As I have already indicated, the process is not as seamless as everyone
seems to think it is from a basic upgraded virtualbox.

Thanks for the rpm clue, however, I evidently already have the headers
installed and the setup command still fails.  I need to know what to set
KERN_DIR to since that much be the piece that is breaking the process.

Here is the result of running the commands that you listed previously:

[sysad...@comcserver1 tmp]$ sudo rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5
kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5

I have restarted a second time, after removing the virtualization group,
and the module compile worked. 

However, I am still unclear as to why the kernel-headers were installed
and it was not detecting them.

Also, how would I have resolved this issue of invisible sources and
headers if it had not just magically started working.

I also read just now, how the xen kernel, as installed with
Virtualization, will not work well with VBox so maybe that was it,
however, how would that cause the setup script not to see the installed
sources and headers?

Do I need to restart the system when the headers and sources are installed?

Even though it is now working, I am still unclear why it wasn't, and why
it is now resolved.

That is generally a good idea since the kernel, headers and devel rpms
are installed all at the same time.  Otherwise you won't be running

[CentOS] what people really mean when they say they're running 5.3?

2010-08-08 Thread Robert P. J. Day

  more a terminology usage question than anything else, but in a
couple of weeks, i'll be teaching the first of a few sessions on RHEL
admin and, unsurprisingly, i'll be using centos (as i've done in the
past).

  when i asked the organizer to identify the specific version of RHEL
that was being used at the client site, i was told 5.3 so i can easily
install 5.3 on the classroom machines, but i'm curious about something
and i'll have my contact look into it:  if people *initially* install
5.3, is it standard behaviour to still regularly upgrade as new
releases come out?

  obviously, i have to ask my contact to verify what the client has
been doing all this time but, in general, what's the normal behaviour
for people running centos/rhel?  and is there a way to examine an
install to see how updated it's been since that original installation?

  i just don't want to teach off of 5.3, only to find out later that
they've been keeping up to date and 5.5 would have been a more
appropriate choice.  thanks for any tips.

Terminology:  generally an upgrade refers to moving from one major
release to another, whereas an update is moving forward to the newest
sub-release.  I.e., CentOS 5.5 - CentOS 6.0 will be an upgrade (and
not recommended as an upgrade per se), whereas CentOS 5.3 - CentOS
5.5 is an update.

Check /etc/redhat-release; also uname -a if you know which kernel to look for.

They're both CentOS 5.  The differences are mainly (but not
exclusively) in security enhancements, upgrades to applications (like
Firefox or OO) and the like.  I would check to be sure if you think it
will make that much difference (and it might - 5.3 is what, a year old
now?).

[CentOS] Encrypted remote backup?

2010-08-08 Thread Michael A. Peters
Can anyone recommend a commercial off site remote backup service with a 
client (preferably FOSS) for CentOS 5, preferably that allows encryption 
of the data being backed up?

Small scale, I'm primarily looking to just back up my mail folder on my 
server.

I've been backing it up to local hd via rsync but that drive just died, 
I'd prefer to have it backed up to somewhere more stable than a home box 
and automated via cron (cli tools a must), but encryption is important, 
people are snoopy and I'm paranoid about that sort of stuff.

On a certain level there really isn't much difference from a general

detail (like specific version numbers). Basic functionallity is not
going to change from point version to point version.

There is a limited amount of truth to this - but it depends on the
topic being taught. Redhat usually adds functionality to the point
releases as they go - a few examples in the current 5.X release cycle
being KVM virtualisation, postgres-8.4 and the ext4 filesystem.

The X part of 5.X refers to a point in time of Redhat... but that
really is a point in time and in terms of maintaining a system there
is only RHEL5... there really is no point installing 5.3 when you
should keep up to date on updates and particularly depending on the
topic to be taught as well.

 I've been backing it up to local hd via rsync but that drive just died,
 I'd prefer to have it backed up to somewhere more stable than a home box
 and automated via cron (cli tools a must), but encryption is important,
 people are snoopy and I'm paranoid about that sort of stuff.


Dunno how http://nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ will work for you.

Comments solicited from esteemed members. Of course Amanda, Bacula are
there in the conventional DR model.

Never had an opportunity/resources to try it though.

But all the same, looks impressive:

I do find this behaviour very odd... if you are not intending to get support
from redhat why not just install CentOS in the beginning so you can still
get updates? Ah well...

 sadly, I find far too many people who installed RHEL x.y, but don't have

fairly often, its due to some perceived vendor requirements on the part 
of operations people.  Or, the server was purchased with a RHEL license, 
but it wasn't renewed.   I have to work with operations people in 
overseas manufacturing plants, who are _extremely_ conservative about 
applying updates. if its not broken, they won't fix it.   as most of 
these systems are single function (run a java based application suite 
used for factory floor message routing, or run an 
oracle/postgres/whatever database along with some java stuff that front 
ends for the database), most updates have nothing to do with the mission.

[CentOS] OT: Package to truncate .mp3 file

Yes, I can second that. Just load the mp3 file into 
audacity, select the part to cut, then save the 
remaining part of the file to a different name.

[CentOS] fail2ban behavior

2010-08-08 Thread Joseph L. Casale
I created a filter and verified it with fail2ban-regex against
actual lines in my log and it works. During restarts of fail2ban,
only some previous ip's get banned immediately whereas some need a
reoccurrence despite the jail's config specification of maxretry and
findtime suggesting the entries mandate blocking.

I'd assume the behavior after a restart is noe way if it weren't for
the seemingly random immediate notification of blocks being different?

Anyone with experience using fail2ban know anything about this?

Thanks,
jlc

 On a certain level there really isn't much difference from a general
 admin POV -- it does not really make sense to go into a certain level of
 detail (like specific version numbers). Basic functionallity is not
 going to change from point version to point version.

 
 There is a limited amount of truth to this - but it depends on the
 topic being taught. Redhat usually adds functionality to the point
 releases as they go - a few examples in the current 5.X release cycle
 being KVM virtualisation, postgres-8.4 and the ext4 filesystem.
 
 The X part of 5.X refers to a point in time of Redhat... but that
 really is a point in time and in terms of maintaining a system there
 is only RHEL5... there really is no point installing 5.3 when you
 should keep up to date on updates and particularly depending on the
 topic to be taught as well.

[CentOS] Moving users from Debian-based distro to CentOS

2010-08-08 Thread Dotan Cohen
I have a Debian machine with four users that I plan on migrating to
CentOS. As per Debian habits the UIDs start with 1000.

Is it enough to reuse the Debian /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files
over? Or will I need to configure some other things? I had considered
just creating four new users starting from UID 500 then chown -R -ing
the user's home directories, but I find that invasive and possibly
error prone (maybe there are files that are not owned by them).

All advice appreciated. Thanks.

I'd compare the passwd files, noting the predefined system accounts.   
when I copy over /etc/passwd entries, I generally cut/paste them, not 
just copy the whole file.  of course, the same entries for /etc/shadow
