Multiple Internet facing Nics - Gateway issue
by Doug Coats 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

I have a server with 4 nics. Two are using different internet connections, both with static IP's, and two are connected to our private network. The two internet facing nics seem to be battling over the gateway designation. Which ever I designate as the gateway the other stops responding to incoming traffic. I need both to listen to inbound traffic. One for our main web page and the other for another web server. I found some information of Iproute2 but that did not seem to solve my issues. Here are the config files: ifcfg-eth2 DEVICE=eth2 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=00:24:E8:52:92:8E ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=xx.yy.51.45 NETMASK=255.255.255.252 GATEWAY=xx.yy.51.46 ifcfg-eth3 DEVICE=eth3 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=00:24:E8:52:92:90 ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=aa.bb.166.2 NETMASK=255.255.255.224 GATEWAY=aa.bb.166.1 network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=no HOSTNAME=heritage01 GATEWAY=xx.yy.51.46 GATEWAYDEV=eth2 rt_tables # # reserved values # 255 local 254 main 253 default 0 unspec # # local # #1 inr.ruhep 200 Cable 201 T1 iproute2 routes ip route add xx.yy.51.44/30 dev eth2 src xx.yy.51.46 table Cable ip route add default via xx.yy.51.46 ip route add xx.yy.51.44/30 dev eth2 src xx.yy.51.46 ip route add default via xx.yy.51.46 ip rule add from xx.yy.51.46 table Cable ip route add aa.bb.166.0/27 dev eth3 src aa.bb.165.2 table T1 ip route add default via aa.bb.166.1 ip route add aa.bb.166.0/27 dev eth3 src aa.bb.166.2 ip rule add from aa.bb.166.2 table T1 ip route flush cache Other people seem to be using this configuration successfully but I seem to be missing something important. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!! Thanks!

Replicate desktop configuration for other users using /etc/skel
by Niki Kovacs 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hi, The subject says it all. I'd like to copy my own custom desktop configuration for other users on the machine without having to go manually through the hassle. Here's a non-exhaustive list of what I usually tweak : * Theme + icons * background image * panel * screensaver * Nautilus behaviour * Handling of removable devices * Gnome Terminal * Gnome Dictionary (french servers) * GEdit options And so on... I used to do this before, a few years ago, when I was a Slackware user, but only with KDE (or XFCE on older hardware). Usually it boiled down to copy the relevant hidden directory trees (.kde/ or .config) to /etc/skel before creating new users. Would something similar work with GNOME? And if so, what are the relevant hidden configuration directories to copy over? Cheers, Niki

new RAID5 array: 3x500GB with XFS
by Coert Waagmeester 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hello all, I have yesterday after some typos, sent my ext3 RAID5 array to the void... I want to recreate it now, but I read on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Disk_Optimization that you can optimize the filesystem on top of the RAID. Will this wiki article be exactly the same for XFS? Is it worth the trouble to also create an LVM volume on the RAID array? Regards, Coert

Remote identity management
by Niki Kovacs 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hi, Until now, I've only managed local user management on small network with no more than five or six machines, e. g. all user data stored locally on each and every machine (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group). Now I'd like to learn remote identity management, that is, all user data stored centrally on one machine (so I don't have to wonder who has which UID and GID when I want to setup an NFS share, for example). I understand there are several ways to achieve that with RHEL/CentOS: NIS, LDAP, Kerberos, SMB, ... The networks I'll have to deal with are 100% GNU/Linux (better: 100% CentOS). So my first question is: which solution is the "best" for such a configuration ? By "best" I mean some compromise between "easy" and "reliable". Any suggestions ? Niki Kovacs

Then grow them, then change things, then add the spare 500gb cloning the new sizes. Or just change them all to 500gb drives with the spare, having cloned the raids, then grow the raid device. So...that is the way to do it then? Sound good?

If you need a ldap solutiion then I would really recommend the directory server especially if you do not have any experience with LDAP, the install and other documentation is also really well documented, you can find more info here: http://www.howtoforge.org/centos-directory-server-on-centos5.2 [1] Per E-mail: per(a)norhex.com [2] http://www.linkedin.com/in/perqvindesland [3] --- Original message follows --- SUBJECT: Re: [CentOS] Remote identity management FROM: Niki Kovacs TO: "CentOS mailing list" DATE: 03-07-2009 11:22 Sander Snel a écrit : > there is a repo with the enterprise ipa for centos 5 available > > http://www.math.ias.edu/PU_IAS/RHEIPA/5.2/ > > or follow the instructions how to build it yourself from howtoforge > > http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-build-rhel-ipa-rpms-for-centos-5 Thanks! I'll keep that information "in a corner of my head", as the French say. I just skimmed through the online docs, which require "a knowledge of LDAP". That's not the case for me, so I'll have a go at experimenting with LDAP first.
