Connman vs network manager
Hi! I run unstable and update/upgrade daily. A couple of weeks apt thougt it best to remove network-manager and replace it with connman. This broke my mounting of NFS-shares described in fstab. I have my home and media cataloge on a NAS. I have made an update of rc.init as specified in the Howto.Debian file. Now I have to log in as root and write mounst -a to get it working.

Re: Kerberos+LDAP+NIS?
Hi!
Great answer! I will work with this and see if I can get it working.
Regarding the setup, it's not really finished I think. They havent
investigated how and what informations should be stored on the LPAD, I
know for sure that the uid is stored there but other stuff needed for
a working login on linux isnt there, like default shell.
I think that if I can set a default shell on login I guess I could use
LDAP/kerberos + automount and get the same result that I currently get
with NIS/Kerberos. All the users are on the same nfs export I think,
so it wont require that much automount magic. And I just checked on
the LDAP, there is a unused field called NFS home, so if I fill in the
correct parameter like filerserver.ltu.se:/home/nisse in that I could
automount that.
Do you think thats a workable alternative?
The problem is that there is no shell information and I not 100% sure
that the unix id in LDAP is the same as in NIS (it should be, and the
NIS one should be change if it differs).

Hello!

That is possibly the most absolutely horrifying setup I've ever heard of, and
you have my deepest, most sincere sympathies at having to deal with not only
LDAP/Kerberos but also NIS. It's also worth noting that using NIS is probably
ruining any security you're getting from LDAP/SSL or Kerberos... but with
that out of the way, I think I can help. I'm not hugely familiar with NIS, so
don't assume anything here is true.
Before you start, get a root terminal on your machine and leave it open. If
you make a mistake or my instructions are wrong, you can lose login access to
the system... (don't ever forget this when working on headless remote
systems... bad experiences)
Okay, first you need to make the LDAP information available to the Name
Service Switch (NSS) part of your system, which will let you check the group
information and such without any particular black magic -- it'll be the same
as if it was in /etc/groups. For this, you want to install and configure
libnss-ldap (left to the reader), then modify your /etc/nsswitch.conf file so
that the 'group:' line looks like this:
group: files ldap
If you haven't already configured the NSS for NIS, do that too. Your
nsswitch.conf file should probably look something like this now:
passwd: files nis
group: files ldap
shadow: files nis
... (rest of the file unchanged)
That will get shell/home information from NIS, group info from LDAP, and
shadow (passwords) from NIS which you say authenticates via Kerberos (are you
sure there aren't any passwords getting tossed around in plain text?). Make
sure this is all working perfectly -- you should be able to 'getent passwd
username' for a user in the NIS system and have it return his data, and you
should also be able to retrieve group info from LDAP with ldapsearch. You
shouldn't need any PAM magic if you're using NIS and it's configured
properly. Then, to restrict login to a certain group, you need some lines
in /etc/login.access looking something like:
-:ALL:ALL
+:groupallowedtologin:ALL
... but I'm not hugely familiar with that file, man login.access for more on
that.
I've never done anything quite like this (strictly LDAPS/Kerberos here) but I
think that information should at least get you going in the right direction.
I'll say again, however, that the setup you're working with is basically a
trainwreck and is probably leaking passwords and information all over the
place unless it's very carefully designed. Complain to someone with authority
and try to get the NIS information moved into LDAP -- it's generally much
nicer to administrate.
Whew! HTH.

Kerberos+LDAP+NIS?
Hello! I recently got my debian box to authenticate user logins with kerberos! Now I have created a group in LDAP and I want that only users who is members of that group are allowed to login. The problem is that no information of shell or home directory is stored on the LDAP server, so I thougt that I could use NIS to get that information and automount to mount my directory.

Re: Kerberos+LDAP+NIS?

Hello!
I recently got my debian box to authenticate user logins with kerberos!
Now I have created a group in LDAP and I want that only users who is
members of that group are allowed to login. The problem is that no
information of shell or home directory is stored on the LDAP server,
so I thougt that I could use NIS to get that information and automount
to mount my directory.
Is that at all possible?
Has anyone done something like this before?

Why not add the necessary information to LDAP instead?

NFS problems
Hi! I made a recently got a new disk and took the opertunity to do a new debian installation, the old one I installed was installed about 1999 and I have been doing apt-get update, upgrade daily. Three days ago I needed to use my nfs exports, but they didnt work. There seem to be something wrong with /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd or/and /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd, because if I mount my old harddrive and run thoose directly from the old installation nfs works happily, I have run snoop from a solaris workstation and it seems that nfsd is not working on my machine.

ROX eating memory?
Hi! I'm running unstable, on an AMD XP1800, 512 Mb. My free swap and memory seems to be less and less for every day that goes by. I have 19 days uptime with 2.4.18. If I start a VNC server the same thing happens, after a while that process starts using 97% of the CPU and the swap just fills up. That can be a unrelate problem. Right now X is using 160Mb of the swap and 10% of the mem. Should X have such big memory mark? Using ps to check that process it seems that the largest chunk used by that process is in the adress range 081bd000-1014f000 , size 130632Mb offset , device 3,5 inode 0, file (anonymous).

Creating booklets with Latex

This is good because then I can have red cover and white pages, and when I've printed the pages I just cut horizontally and I have two booklets with a nice cover.

I can't use programms like gmix anymore, even the volume-control in xmms doesn't work. Before you told me about ALSA, I got it to work with the normal kernel-modules, there the gmix and volume-control of xmms worked fine. 2.

I didnt touch isapnp.conf, the system take care of all that stuff, you have to have isapnptools install though. ALSA supports multiple soundcards I currently use 2, the AWE64 and Soundblaster PCI 128, no problems at all. If you want to compile alsa for a recent kernel you have to install alsa-source then you: unpack kernel source in /usr/src tar xfvz linux-4.2.tar.gz then untargzip alsadriver.tar.gz which is located in /usr/src tar xfvz alsadriver.tar.gz then cd linux make menuconfig make sure to add support for sound the use kernel-make package which compiles the kernel and makes a installable .deb file make-kpkg --revision 1 kernel_image in /usr/src/linux then when it is finished do a make-kpkg --revision 1 modules_image when it's finished you'll have two .debs in /usr/src which is easily installed with dpkg -i *.deb reboot and run alsaconf to configure the soundcards the soundcard is by default muted so you have to check with amxier to set PCM to max and umute you have to amixer set PCM 100% unmute master, treble, bass is stuff you might want to ummute, be careful with Output Gain it can damage your ears. instead of amixer you can use alsamixer, but it doesnt seem to work yet. or... you can install kernel_image-2.2.13 and use the precompiled drivers in alsa-modules Whoa I just realised this anwer is alittle overkill, but hey I like ALSA. /nisse

Check the /proc/pci what irq it has, if no irq is shown than its the PCI slot. You can either change position of the card or turn PCI to manual in the bios, and assigning a free irq to that card.
