centralized user authentication

> Apart from ipa are there any other good tools out there for centralised user > auth? I am currently testing LDAP (openldap) combined with nss_ldap, configured with authconfig. I would start by testing IPA. Redhat is building out a set of enterprise management tools which include cobbler and spacewalk; I would think IPA will eventually be integrated into their mgt tools. That said, if you want to use Ldap + Kerberos, here are two good howtos: http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html http://www-theorie.physik.unizh.ch/~dpotter/howto/kerberos The "current" centos rpms for Ldap are quite old; you should consider rebuilding the latest fedora rpms for your system. -- Steve Glasser sgla9347(a)gmail.com

centos Installation on Multiple machines
by premrajm＠digilink.in 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hi, I want to install customized centos on multiple systems. Can PXE boot do that ? Apart from this is there any other way of doing image copy of centos OS and installing it on several client machines through network. I used clonezilla, but after image cloning, i will again have to use the clonezilla LIVE CD on client machine to do a image restore. I want to make a clone of centos OS and store it in a server and keeping installing it on multiple machines with same hardware features from network. Is this possible ?

by Jeff Sadino 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hello, I am running Fedora 8 on a client machine and I have a CentOS4 "server." How do I mount a server drive on my local machine? I have already looked in hosts.allow, /etc/exports, and tried all sorts of nfs permutations. The server ip is 10.1.1.13 and my local is 10.1.1.117 Thank you VERY much! Jeff

Hi all, I am trying to build a file server providing about 10 TB of effective RAID5/6 storage. Any recommendations as far as hardware, configuration, etc. - preferably based on recent experience - would be most welcome. Thanks in advance. Boris.
