[Hampshire] [Free] 2x Shuttle PCs
Hi all, I've got two Shuttle PCs looking for new homes, preferably as a pair. They're free, though if you can I'd appreciate a donation to charity. I'll be at the next Surrey BaB (Nokia, Farnborough) on Sat 12th May, or they can be picked up from Fleet. Being Shuttles, they're both small boxes and pretty quiet. Naturally they run Linux without a hitch. Both have been off for ~3 years, but powered on and booted to retrieve the specs. 1. Shuttle XPC SN21G5 http://global.shuttle.com/news/productsDetail?productId=88 http://m0dlx.com/images/shuttle/ AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (dual core) 1GB DDR RAM (one spare slot, a module went bad) 2x Seagate Barracuda SATA 750GB hard drives NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT PCI-E graphics card (dual DVI) (also an onboard NVIDIA GeForce 6100 VGA) Shuttle wifi 802.11b only addon module NetGear 1Gbps NIC CD/DVD writer Onboard 100Mbps NIC, USB, sound, serial, Firewire Black brushed case, very good condition.

Re: [Hampshire] Transaction based upgrades.
On 08/04/12 11:40, James Courtier-Dutton wrote: After reading the crippled system thread, I think it might be a good idea if Linux was able to do transaction based upgrades. In that thread, what happened is the user space udev package got upgraded, and the matching kernel package did not. I think it would have been better if udev would not upgrade itself unless a compatible kernel also managed to upgrade. I.e. Both in one transaction. The fs-snapshot Yum plugin can give you the ability to rollback from a broken upgrade. On Fedora it's in the yum-plugin-fs-snapshot package. There's a decent description of the process in the RHEL 6 docs: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/sec-Plugin_Descriptions.html The idea is it simply creates an LVM snapshot (so block level) which you can remove again after the upgrade has been proven to be successful. If it fails, then you use the newish dm snapshot merge functionality which merges the snapshot back into the origin, effectively rolling it back. This is just a case of running: lvconvert --merge /dev/yourvg/yourlv-snapshot Because it's on the root volume, you reboot and it'll be reverted. The catch is you need free space in the LVM VG to create the snapshot in the first place, so leave 10% or something free. This is used for recording changes made while the snapshot exists. For other distros you can just create the snapshot manually or use a hook if available, there's no specific functionality needed in the plugin or package manager. -- Dominic Cleal domi...@computerkb.co.uk -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

[ snip ] [1] Yeah, I know it's probably not good to make up your own TLDs, I plan to use a .net domain in future. This fact may be related as the .local domain is used (reserved?) for Avahi and mDNS. On Fedora, my /etc/nsswitch.conf file has the following: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns I expect Ubuntu's is very similar, so if the mdns lookup fails the entire host lookup will also fail. You could probably move mdns4_minimal to the end of the line, so your DNS takes precedence: hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal This might affect Avahi though, but if you don't care about it just remove or disable the Avahi services entirely. Or the best solution might be to change your internal domain sooner rather than later!

On 26/11/10 21:04, Vic wrote: It would be daft to make www-data a sudoer and I'm not sure how I would do that anyway. Any ideas on how to achieve this, or alternatives? Factor out the couple of bits that need root privilege, and put them in their own scripts. Make those scripts executable only by the www-data user, and then make them setuid. Your main script can then run with reduced privilege, and call the setuid ones as necessary. You probably won't be able to do this, setuid scripts are usually blocked by the OS. It'd be difficult to write a setuid script securely as environment variables (e.g. PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) could be used to make the script run all sorts of things the author didn't intend. apachectl itself is also a script, so might also be susceptible to attack.

I'd strongly recommend using sudo, it isn't daft. It's really easy to configure, it gives you auditing via syslog and should run the command in a secure environment out of the box. Add a line to the bottom of /etc/sudoers similar to: www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/apachectl graceful The www-data user will be able to only run the single command with the exact set of arguments given. Then just run sudo apachectl graceful from your script.

We're in the red building (200 Fowler Ave.) next to the hangar. http://www.iq-farnborough.com/IMAGES/IQFBP/available_07.jpg The front doors are locked, but somebody will be around to let you in a the start of the day. If arriving later, a phone number will be posted up to call for entry. No registration or details are needed beforehand, just turn up and park in the Red Hat spaces outside. Neither of the stations are particularly nearby so please ask on-list if a lift is needed, people are often kind enough to accommodate. = Things going on = Lots of things offered this month, hopefully we can enjoy a few of them. * Freaky Clown's running his epic Surrey LUG quiz * Richard Crossley on his Guruplug server * (hopefully) Jacqui Caren on OpenVZ virtualisation * Desmond Armstrong on PiTiVi video editing Look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.
