Re: [OT] IT Support/Ticket tracking application

2002-02-23 Thread Oliver Andrich

Hi,

my former company, Nextra Deutschland, is successfully using RT as the 
central ticketing system and as far as I know it works pretty good. Good 
user acceptance, pretty stable and really fast. 

Best regards,

Oliver

 I've started to set up RT, but it is a royal pain, and I don't know
 enough about the required Apache modules to get it working.  I'm about to
 start working with DCL to see if it will do what I need it to.

 However, I thought I would pose the question to the list to see if anyone
 here is running a support ticket tracking application for a helpdesk/ISP
 type scenario, and if so, what are you using?  I know this may be
 off-topic, other than the fact that it will run on a Debian server.  ;-)

 Thanks,

Hi,

many thanks for the hints, ideas and all this. I have to look at the different
approaches and what comes closest to what I really want. Much to read and
test.

Best regards,

Mass installation procedure for Debian?

2002-02-02 Thread Oliver Andrich

Hi,

I have to deal in the near future with a lot of Debian machines, that I will
setup and configure for two customers. I like to develop or use some mechanism
for mass installation of these machines, and for easily setting up a spare
part machine if one crashes.

Basically, I like to do something like kickstart does for RedHat or Mandrake.
You created some kind of config file for the installer and afterwards it just
works. (More or less)

Does something like this exist already in Debian, or is it planned and I can
contribute to it? This is a desperate need, cause I have to enable not so
skilled admins to get the machine up and replaced without actually needing to
travel to the location of the machines.

I hacked up a crude solution for this yet. I took the dpkg -l output of an
existing machine, put it in a this depends on that table and selected all
packages which nothing depends on. So, I have the list which installs the
system, with some apt-get magic. But this is still a two way solution, cause
you need to get a basic machine up and running, ftp the perl scripts and the
data, and then finish the installation. Finally, you have to fetch the
configuration files from the ftp too, and put them in place. Not very fine and
not very easy.

I don't need a backup, cause the machines that can be replaced this way don't
have any user data on it. Web servers, proxies, and so on. The data storages
are backed up, setup redundantly and if these machines crash, I am in trouble
which needs my attention.

So, any ideas would be highly appreciated.

best regards,
Oliver
