shared NFS root filesystems

2002-09-25 Thread Michael O'Donnell


Anybody know how I can serve the same filesystem to
multiple NFS clients as their root?  The problem I'm
anticipating is that each client would assume it had
that filesystem to itself and overwrite modifications
already made by other clients.  I can imagine various
hax and trickery I might commit while attempting
to solve this problem but I hope not reinvent any wheels...

Take a look at what the Linux Terminal Server Project is
doing (ltsp.org).  They've been doing net booting for
at least two years.  It's been a while since I played
with it, but they must have addressed this issue
already.

I don't think you really want to.  Years ago I setup a diskless linux
cluster where all the disk space was served from a common server.  At
that time what I came up with was a mounted root unique to each client
with less than 15MB per client.  They all mounted the same /usr and
/home partitions, but had there own / with configurations and /var 
/tmp.  The unique partition for each was actually a copy of one of
them, they just each had exclusive access to modify it without
clobbering the others.  

Our cluster booted off of a floppy and then mounted root as nfs.  If
you put CDROM's in the clients you might be able to do the same thing
but use a large ramdisk for the unique roots.  If you really need to
not have unique roots the only way I can think of is using a ramdisk
for the clients and them mount your common file systems.

The NFS root HOWTO describes how you can do it.  I believe
they even provide some scripts to help.  They play games
with symbolic links so the clients have private areas
of needed directories.

That's your problem.  Files takes a simple filename, not a complete

Re: ssh port redirection ?

IOW, I want to:

  proper pop server on the net
- take the mail off the server using B, but pass it back to

Any ideas how to do this? 


This oughta work:

   While standing on systemA you say:
   
  ssh -o 'LocalForward somePortNumber popServer:110' systemB
   
   ...and then you'd tell fetchmail on systemA to connect
   to localhost:somePortNumber

OT (sorta) Removing Linux

2002-09-25 Thread farinella


I have to remove Linux and install Windows from a Dell Latitude LS laptop that
currently houses Red Hat 7 with grub as the boot loader.  This computer has
no floppy or internal cdrom, just a pcmcia card with  a Sony Vaio cd player
attached.  The machine can't boot from this until the pcmcia module is loaded.
 I have tried a serial port connected floppy drive as well, but can't get the
machine to boot from that either.  

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get Windows onto this machine?
 It's not mine btw, and Linux is not an option for the owners.  I'm trying to
do them a favor here is all.

systemB will now listen on port 110 and forward traffic on to popserver on

  From a command prompt on system A [1], you want to SSH to system B.  
Use SSH port forwarding to forward connections from the local system (A) out
from the other end (B).  Specify the POP server hostname and port number for
the remote end.  You will need to use a non-standard port number, since POP3
is TCP 110, and only root can listen on ports 1024.  You will also need
to tell fetchmail about this non-standard port number.

  For example:

ssh pll@system-b -L 8110:pop-server:110
fetchmail --protocol POP3 --port 8110 localhost

  In the above, fetchmail connects to port 8110 on the local system (A).  
The SSH client is listening on port 8110, and forwards the connection to the
SSH server on system B.  System B then connects to pop-server on TCP port
110, and finishes the connection.

[1] Why don't people ever use the real names of the servers in their

Yes, you do.  Unfortunately, ssh ties up a terminal whenever you do a
port redirection; i.e. you must log into the system to do this.  It's
possible for the ssh session to not run any command with the -N
option, but this still ties up a terminal (it just sits there, as if
some program were running in the foreground, producing no output --
because that's exactly what's happening).

Re: OT (sorta) Removing Linux

2002-09-25 Thread Hewitt Tech

I've had better luck moving a hard drive from one system to another but I
like your idea better. Basically, repartition and format the drive as a
bootable system disk (MS-DOS) and then copy the Windows kit to a directory
on the drive. That would certainly work and I've done that before too. One
nice thing about copying the kit onto the hard drive is that when Windows
inevitably demands the installation media, you only need to point it to the
kit so that it can get it's drivers etc..

-Alex

P.S. I just did a Libranet (Debian) based Linux installation which was
impressively smooth.
Another alternative (probably too expensive by the sounds of things) would
be to install Win4Lin on the Linux drive. Then the users can run Windows
apps to their hearts content.

   so I do:
   ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -R 110:pop.paul.com:110

  With your above example, I start out on 'A'.  When I connect to the SSH
server, the '-R' you give will cause the SSH server to try and listen on TCP
port 110.  Any connection attempts made to that listener will be forwarded
to 'pop.paul.com' on TCP port 110.

  There are three potential problems with that.

  One, you would need to instruct fetchmail to connect to system 'B' instead
of 'localhost', which means the forwarded connection would go over the wire
in cleartext.  Granted, in this case, that does not matter, since Paul is
going to end up transmitting over the public Internet in any event.  But in
a different scenario (e.g., you are gatewaying *in* to a trusted network),
that would be bad.

  Second, by default, the OpenSSH server binds forwarded ports to the
loopback address, preventing remote hosts from connecting to them.  So
fetchmail would be rejected.  You can change this by putting 'GatewayPorts
yes' in your 'sshd_config' file, but maybe Paul cannot do that, or does not
want to.

  Third, you need root privileges to use ports below 1024.  Again, Paul might
not want or be able to do that.

 The difference is -L listens on the box you're running ssh on and -R
 listens on the box you're sshing to.. at least, that's my understanding..

  Yup.  I am telling SSH to listen on system 'A', and forward the connection
via SSH from system 'B' to system 'C'.

2002: poll completed
   fetchmail: normal termination, status 11

You want to connect to port 8110 of taz, not of the real POP server.

 Yes, you do.  Unfortunately, ssh ties up a terminal whenever you do a port
 redirection; i.e. you must log into the system to do this.

  If this really bothers people that much, and you are using SSH protocol
version 2 (and you *are* doing that, right?), you can do this:

ssh -N pll@system-b -L 8110:pop-server:110 
fetchmail --protocol POP3 --port 8110 localhost

  *exasperated sigh*

  My workstation is named DRAGON.  Our mail server is named ITCHY.  Say the
intermediate computer is named LACE (it would be).  Like this:

DRAGON  LACE - ITCHY

  First, on DRAGON, I execute this command:

ssh LACE -L 8110:ITCHY:110

  That opens up a connection to LACE.  It also causes the SSH client to
listen on local TCP port 8110.  When the SSH client receives a connection on
TCP port 8110, it will forward the connection to the SSH server on LACE.  
The SSH server on LACE will open a connection to TCP port 110 on ITCHY.

  Next, also on DRAGON, I execute this command:

fetchmail LOCALHOST --port 8110 --protocol pop3

  That causes fetchmail to connect to DRAGON, on TCP port 8110, using the
POP3 protocol.  SSH will get that connection, forward it over the SSH tunnel
to LACE, and make the connection from LACE to ITCHY.

  In your examples, you use -R instead of -L, and you tell fetchmail to
connect to 'lanminds.com' instead of 'localhost.

That makes two of us :)

(ever try getting something which *should* be very straight-forward 
working *and* tend to the needs of an infant!? :)

  In your examples, you use -R instead of -L, and you tell fetchmail to

Yeah, somewhere between e-mails and the yells of the infant, I got 
things all mixed up :)

Sorry, and thanks, it's now working!

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.

 If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!

At some point hitherto, Neal Richardson hath spake thusly:
 I have swapped out motherboards using windows me and after several ok
 like 10 reboots it did in fact work fine.

I've done this with win98 as well, but with varying success.  It
/usually/ works, but I think the point is there are no guarantees, and
users do so at their own risk.  Microsoft does not want to be blamed
if it doesn't work for you.  Of course, as we all know, it actually is
their fault.  Linux, for example, has no such problems...

Mmmm, donuts...
