Re: [Vserver] FW: Oracle 10g... any Production Environments on VServer?

2005-04-29 Thread Dariush Pietrzak,,,
 I'm not trying to convince you to switch to PG, I'm just curious if these
 features are available to me. BTW, one interesting feature that Oracle has
 is the ability to store hierarchical data in a flat db table and pull it out
http://gppl.moonbone.ru/ 
EOQUOTE
WHAT'S THIS

This is a patch which allows PgSQL to make hierarchical queries a la Oracle
do.
EOQUOTE

 I thought they would include this in 8.x, but they didn't. Oh well, we'll
 wait another year or two then...

[Vserver] Locale query

2005-04-29 Thread Gaz Wilson

Just trying to clear up minor annoyances within my vserver system at
the moment, and I notice when I run perl (and probably other stuff), I
get:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = en_GB:en_US:en_GB:en,
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = en_GB
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (C).

I have google'd for the error, but the same 2 solutions seem to get
discussed, and neither seem relevant to the vserver platform (namely
reinstall gcc and play with the localdef tool)

Is this a common thing on vservers, and if so, what's the commonest solution?

Many thanks

GW

it is a localdef-issue

If it is a debian vserver: apt-get install locales

RE: [Vserver] Ubuntu Guest Image

 Heyas All,
 
 Does anyone have a Ubuntu Hoary guest image built?
 
 Alternatively, is it possible to use the debian-newvserver.sh script to
 build a hoary vserver?
 


I started the process of documenting using Ubuntu guests. Here is what I've
done so far:
http://list.linux-vserver.org/archive/vserver/msg09330.html

Part C steps 6-8 might be helpful,
Create the new ubuntu disk image. If you want to use debian, google for
debootstrap and you should see alternate syntax to use for the debootstrap
program. (i.e. to create a virtual server named vsa with the ip address
192.168.1.99 and the host name vsa.mynetwork.com use this command:
vserver vsa build -m debootstrap --hostname vsa.mynetwork.com --netdev eth0
--interface 192.168.1.99/24 -- -d warty -m
http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu)

Yes, I realize this is for warty, but you should get by just fine by
changing the reference from warty to hoary.

well, basically it says that there is a locale set
(namely en_GB ...) and that perl doesn't know about
that locale ... now what could be the reason for that:

 - you 'enter' the guest with this locale set, and
   the guest doesn't know about it (likely)

   workaround: export LC_ALL=C LANG=C

 - your scripts inside the guest do set the locale
   although the requested locale isn't installed

   workarounds: either fix the settings or install
   the missing locales

 - settings and locales are present, just perl needs
   some 'special' locale packages to be happy ...

 Is this a common thing on vservers, and if so, what's the commonest solution?

really depends on the guest setup, I'd say ...

HTH,
Herbert

Re: [Vserver] Is the VServer the right thing for me?

2005-04-29 Thread Oliver Dietz
Hi Arjen,
Is there a tool (like testme.sh) that tests the common (maybe also 
uncommon)
possibilities of misconfigurations (like the capabilities and
chroot-exploids) from inside the VServer?
You should have a look at the bastille linux project, as far as I know 
this
is a script that can harden but also (taken from
http://www.bastille-linux.org/)
snip
Bastille can also assess a system's current state of hardening, granularly
reporting on each of the security settings with which it works.
/snip

(I don't think running it inside a vserver will be an issue since I
understood it should not be able to escape the context its running in.)
hm ... after a short overview, i dont't think its what i want ...
I've tried to run it on Suse 9.2 ... unsupported at the moment
And inside my vserver it doesn't recognize the OS (how could it be ... its 
an LFS http://www.linuxfromscratch.org ;-))

Thanks for the tip - it an interesting project, will try it asap on a Suse 
9.1 :-))

[Vserver] vserver help output

2005-04-29 Thread Ola Lundqvist
Hello

I got a report that vserver output wrong infomration when
outputting the help.

---
From: Thorsten Gunkel [EMAIL PROTECTED]

1) the vserver scripts outputs wrong usage informations:

# vserver
Usage: /usr/sbin/vserver 
{start|stop|suexec|restart|condrestart|exec|enter|chkconfig|running|status}
Right would be
/usr/sbin/vserver VSERVER_ID {start|stop|

Additionally at least the options unify and hashify are missing.
see less `which vserver` for the full list at the bottom.

This should probably also reported upstream.
---

---
From: Daniel van Eeden [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The usage info doesn't contain the build option and should require a
vserver name.

a debootstap called with deb31 won't work. Both Testing (sarge) and
Unstable (sid) got 3.1 in /etc/debian_version.

The only way I know to get output suitable for debootstrap is:
debconf-get-selections 2 /dev/null | grep ^base-config | grep
mirror/suite | awk '{ print $4 }'

An other option is to parse /etc/apt/sources.list but that won't be
reliable.

---

If a new version will fix that I would be happy otherwise I'll
try to fix it myself.

Regards,

// Ola

This would be a great script, just reading the items that you wrote
made me curious about some things in my setup and would like to test
them out, but manually it would be a chore on several of them of course.
