autofs with nfs plus local directories
by Carlos Santana 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi, I have a autofs configured to mount home dir from NFS. All user accounts lookup is done using LDAP. All is working fine with this setup. Now I need to create a local user account and have its home dir also on local system. So I added a new user account and changed auto.home as follows: test1 -rw,hard,intr /home/test1 * -rw,hard,intr nfs1:/export/users/& But this stuff is not working. If I change test1 user's home dir to '/opt/test1', it works fine. Log messages indicate: 'umount_autofs_indirect: ask umount returned busy /home'. I have some LDAP users logged on to system. Do I need to tell them to logout to successfully reload autofs? Any clues on this would be really helpful. Thanks, CS.

Kerberos integration in directory server
by nimmermehr＠chello.at 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi, Got some issues regarding Kerberos and Directory Server and hope someone can help me out. Used these for the configiruation : http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-kerberos.html http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/install/index.html Server : CentOS 5.4 with Kerberos and Directory Server installed Client : CentOS 5.4 I use putty to connect to the client, which authenticates against the server. Using Kerberos or LDAP worked perfectly (using system-config-authentication on the client for configuration) The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the kerberized version of the login via LDAP on the directory Server. Shouldn't I get a Kerberos ticket for that ? If I activate kerberos AND ldap in system-config-authentication it fails : Jan 25 13:24:59 monarch sshd[3947]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown Jan 25 13:24:59 monarch sshd[3947]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.0.1 Jan 25 13:24:59 monarch sshd[3947]: pam_succeed_if(sshd:auth): error retrieving information about user testuser Jan 25 13:25:01 monarch sshd[3947]: Failed password for invalid user testuser from 192.168.0.1 port 1142 ssh2 I followed the instructions here : http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Kerberos Maybe I just didn't get it ;) Thanks in advance, Peter

Detect file change

Hello everyone! How can I detect if a folder have changed (sync logic) than run a script if it's true?

by Alan Hoffmeister 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hello guyz! I'm new here, and this is my very first truble... I need a script that will backup & compress the folder /media/system in the folder /media/backups But that's not the problem, I need that only the last 7 backups (last 7 days, yeah I know, cronjob...) will stay in that folder... The script need: 1 - Compress folder /media/system 2 - Store in /media/backups 3 - Name the compressed backup like day_month_year.tar.gzip 4 - Check the other backups and delete backups older than 7 days.. Can some one help me? Tanks!

any significant differences between centos and OEL?
by Robert P. J. Day 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

someone just pointed out to me that there is a distro called "oracle enterprise linux" which is effectively a re-branded RHEL, so i'm curious -- has anyone here used both centos and OEL and would there be any differences that would be worth caring about? the only thing i can think of that might be worthwhile is that OEL might change some of the default kernel parms thru /etc/sysctl.conf that make that distro more appropriate for running large oracle databases. beyond that, i have no idea. thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

I'm running CentOS on a virtual guest provided by a provider. Have you tried a 'yum clean all' ? That usually resolves this sort of issue for me. mhr
