Urgent help on replacing /var
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

In a moment of epic stupidity, having ran out of space on the root partition of a server due to /var chewing up the space, I added a separate drive for the purpose of mounting it as /var To do so, I mounted the new drive as /var2, cp -R (in hindsight should had rsync to preserve attributes), deleted the original /var to free up space, edited fstab and rebooted... unsurprisingly to a fubar'd server. The thing is it still boots, I can get into single user mode but a full init get stuck at starting the syslogger. What is the best way to rescue the server now from my own stupidity and keeping all the existing configuration and data?

samba3x PDC and Win XP
by Paul R. Ganci 04 Aug '12

04 Aug '12

I am at my wits end on this one. Ever since I upgraded to samba3x (present version 3.5.10-0.110.el5_8) in preparation for adding a Win 7 client, my WinXP client can no longer find their roaming profiles nor can they assign their home shares to a drive at login. Logins and authentication work just fine and I can see the home and profile shares from the Win XP client after login. My smb.conf file contains (here are some essential snippets): # the login script name depends on the machine name ; logon script = %m.bat # the login script name depends on the unix user used ; logon script = %u.bat logon script = logon.bat # disables profiles support by specifing an empty path ; logon path = logon path = \\%L\profile\%u\%m logon home = \\%L\%u logon drive = H: [homes] path = /mnt/home/%u comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S guest ok = no inherit permissions = yes [profile] path = /mnt/home/profile browseable = no writeable = yes default case = lower preserve case = no short preserve case = no case sensitive = no hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ write list = @smbusers @smbadmins create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 csc policy = disable profile acls = yes I enabled debuging and from what I can tell the %u variable is not getting properly evaluated. For example for the homes share: [2012/08/01 00:28:19.471215, 3] smbd/password.c:282(register_existing_vuid) register_existing_vuid: User name: snichols Real name: [2012/08/01 00:28:19.471240, 3] smbd/password.c:292(register_existing_vuid) register_existing_vuid: UNIX uid 501 is UNIX user snichols, and will be vuid 102 [2012/08/01 00:28:19.472336, 3] smbd/password.c:223(register_homes_share) Adding homes service for user 'snichols' using home directory: '/mnt/home/snichols' [2012/08/01 00:28:19.472475, 3] param/loadparm.c:6287(lp_add_home) adding home's share [snichols] for user 'snichols' at '/mnt/home/%u' Or for the profile service: 2012/08/01 00:28:19.488457, 1] smbd/service.c:1070(make_connection_snum) sasha (192.168.1.13) connect to service profile initially as user snichols (uid=501, gid=501) (pid 25876 2012/08/01 00:28:19.489251, 3] smbd/trans2.c:5100(call_trans2qfilepathinfo) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: TRANSACT2_QPATHINFO: level = 1004 [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489364, 3] smbd/filename.c:945(get_real_filename_full_scan) scan dir didn't open dir [%u] [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489399, 3] smbd/vfs.c:881(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name [%u/sasha] [/mnt/home/profile] [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489437, 3] smbd/vfs.c:962(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name: couldn't get realpath for %u/sasha [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489463, 3] smbd/filename.c:1184(filename_convert) filename_convert: check_name failed for name %u/sasha with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489495, 3] smbd/error.c:80(error_packet_set) error packet at smbd/trans2.c(5129) cmd=50 (SMBtrans2) NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED The samba/linux user that successfully logged in is snichols. Does anybody have a clue as to why %u is not evaluating to the linux username snichols and is getting treated simply as the string %u? I am sure it is something to stupid, but damn if I can see it. -- Paul (ganci(a)nurdog.com)

Samba - Allow writing of files, but not creation of new folders?!?
by Tim Nelson 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Greetings- Sorry for the slightly OT post, although this does concern implementation on a CentOS 5 or 6 server. :) Long story short, is it possible to configure Samba such that specific users are able to have 'normal' read/write access on a share, but not the ability to create new *folders*? I researched this in the past, and I seem to remember something related to ACLs or similar, but I'm not finding it now and my attempts at finding info via the Samba direct resources are coming up dry. Any thoughts? --Tim

Virtual appliance - initial setup
by Deyan Stoykov 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Dear everyone, I'm creating a virtual appliance based on CentOS 6.3 that will be packaged as OVF. Is anyone aware of an existing solution for post-deployment configuration (hostname, network settings and root password as a minimum) other than editing config files by hand - I'd like the process to be more user friendly than that if possible. Ideally it should be hypervisor-independent. It seems that anaconda can only be used during initial setup. Thanks, Deyan -- Deyan Stoykov, dstoykov(a)uni-ruse.bg System administrator Computing and Information Services Center University of Ruse
