I would deploy debian on more desktops, but the hardware detections is
just not up to par compared to fedora 1.
only 1 in 4 does it successfuly detects and configures x.
I do not know what tricks Knoppix does to detect hardware but I think it 
detects better than normal Debian setup. I think a Knoppix install can 
be a nice start for a Debian desktop. I am running one as my primary 
workstation since almost three months now.

 Hi
 
 We just boot our new machines remotely and are done within seconds.
 It's not too flexible compared with FAI, but installation and 
 maintenance
 is _much_  simpler. 
 
 as long as m23 is not capable of detecting and using hardware raid devices,
 it is far from being adopted as a viable alternative to fai or even 
 systemimager. m23's webbased gui is neat and a step towards enterprise
 adoption but as long as it lacks enterprise hardware support, it won't get too
 much attention. Don't get me wrong, I really LIKE m23, but systemimager and 
 especially FAI are far more advanced. At least technically.

Admitted, FAI is far more advanced  flexible but for our needs it's
unfortunatly in the same amount too complex to handle.
We have no problems with m23 and RAID hradware (at least with 3ware) but you
have to build your own kernel.

Cheers, Marcel

 hi folks,

 a week ago i try to switch our company web-cache on 2.6.2 kernel, we use
 some cisco stuff and ip_wccp module [ at now on 2.4 kernel ] for
 squid-cisco router communication.

 i read rtfm ;) in cicso-squid.org for ip_wccp module compile for 2.6
 kernels but the case that i heave is that i can't compile the module
 because 2.6 kernels schema i different from 2.4 kernels.

 i found one cisco module modified for 2.6 kernels too.
 in two words, i fight one day with it but .. ;)

 if someone run ip_wccp on 2.6 kernel i'll be very grateful for some
 know-how
I'm not running it but...

why to reinvent the glue? [Re: Starting isp and going to use Debian]

  3. User management
 
 LDAP (with a lot of glue we've coded up in php and python)

is there any project, that provides The Glue?

ldap/sqldb-config files for
-postfix

-nsd
-apache
-ssh

(modular design preffered)

There are a number of projects that try to help maintaining
the directory and to migrate from /etc/passwd.  Browse
freshmeat, it will show several hits.

 ldap/sqldb-config files for
 -postfix

Has built in support.

 -courier
 -nsd

Don't know.

 -apache

What information could Apache read from LDAP?

 -ssh

It works, thanks to libnss-ldap.

We, too, had to code up some utilities to replace useradd,
passwd, etc.  because we found no suitable solutions.
In fact, we've concluded that LDAP a pain to administer.
But it has its own benefits.

bit,
adam

Re: off subject - ip bandwidth management

2004-02-25 Thread Rich Puhek
Gregory Wood wrote:

Problem 1: I have a couple of sites, one with 30 users, another with 500
users. The switches are unmanaged. Occasionally, someone won't be able to
log in or they will loose a network printer. I suspect one or more PCs are
soaking up the bandwidth.
Problem 2: I work with a local ISP. He has his system subnetted BUT there
are still folks who find a 'free' IP and use it. When the owner of the IP
fires up his system, he can't connect. Also, as above, he has seen the
'steady state' bandwidth increase but can't identify the users. He has CISCO
switches and I would have though they would have the tools to identify the
user consumption. Apparently not.
Is there a tool for monitoring who is using the bandwidth and with what MAC?
I've used Ethereal but it generates way too much detail. I would like to
load up a notebook and a hub and stick it between the server and the rest of
the network or between the Internet firewall and the network.
Ideas? Thoughts?

If the Ciscos are managed switches, try using MRTG to graph port usage. 
You should also be able to log on and show port info, check the docs for 
the switches CLI. Haven't used Cisco switches here, but something along 
the lines of show int should get what you need.

For individual bandwidth usage on a local subnet, iptraf provides a neat 
glance at real-time usage. If you're on a switched network, you'll 
need some way to see all the traffic on the network. For 3com switches, 
it's called something like the roving analysis port (better than using 
a hub near the firewall, just analyze the firewall's port). Iptraf will 
give a nice display of traffic in and traffic out, listed by MAC. Then 
it's just a matter of tracing down the MAC's location, and going to said 
location with a big stick in hand :-)

You might also want to nmap your network periodically. Look for 
surprising IP addresses.

You'll probably find misbehaving KaZaa servers to blame. They're very 
bad about playing well on a network, and will happily saturate your 
bandwidth.
