Replace NIS by Active Directory
by MOKRANI Rachid 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi, I'm looking a wiki or share experience for replace NIS authentication by an existing Active directory Server (W2003). The problem is on the management of id and gid. How to move 1000 actual NIS users to AD ? How to keep the same id and gid for this 1000 users ? What's happen with nfs linux server and acess with gid and/id ? Use the same user/password for linux and Windows clients authentification? We test a solution who work very well. It's Centrify comercial software http://www.centrify.com/directcontrol/overview.asp . But we are looking a freeware solution. (kerberos ? openldap ? pam ? ...) Does someone has already successfully replace NIS by Ad authentification with freeware solution ?

IPV6 - request for info
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Greetings, I am trying to wrap my head around on this topic. Was wondering : Just as there is some scope for mapping ipv4 directly into IPV6 space, Is there a MAC ID or some kind of WWID has also been taken into consideration? Regards, Rajagopal

Don't you think there is something slightly farcical about posting messages suggesting people should stop posting messages? > V5.6 will be done when it's done, okay? I don't think the OP did ask when 5.6 would be ready. What he/she said, IIRC, was that Karanbir had suggested that 5.6 would be out last week, and he/she was asking if there had been a problem. This seems a perfectly reasonable question to me. Personally, I am very grateful to Karanbir and his accomplices for what I find an excellent OS, and I don't really care when 5.6 or 6 come out, as the present version works perfectly well for me. However, I don't think people who ask reasonable questions politely should be castigated for doing so. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

by sync 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi , all : There is a problem on executing awk command to remote servers; The shell test script is like this : 1. #!/bin/sh 2. 3. _CMD="ssh root@localhost" 4. 5. cpu_num="$($_CMD awk '/processor/{count["proc"]++}; END{print count["proc"]}' /proc/cpuinfo)“ 6. 7. echo $cpu_num My root account can entry the server without the passwd. But I found no result on the screen . Is there some error on that script ? By the way , I googled and found use the following method can run the right result . 1. #!/bin/sh 2. 3. _CMD="ssh root@localhost" 4. 5. cpu_num="$($_CMD << 'HERE' 6. awk '/processor/{count["proc"]++}; END{print count["proc"]}' /proc/cpuinfo 7.

Watching a directory
by Jason Slack-Moehrle 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi All, I am thinking about an idea, but it requires that I be able to watch several directories for files that are added, deleted or maybe changed. Let start with adding files. What tools are available for me to watch a directory. In an example, if a file is added to a directory I want to run a shell script that will do some conversation on the file to produce a second copy. I have the shell scripting down, I am not sure how to watch, realize change and kick off the script with the parameters of the directory and what was added. Would anyone have thoughts? -Jason

tar exclude question
by Rainer Traut 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi List, hope this is not too offtopic, but this bothers me and my backup. My backups are tar jobs in cron, eg: 20 23 * * * tar -zcf /mnt/backupInternalHosts/backup/backup.tar.gz /etc /root /home && touch /tmp/state_backup-backup This always sends me an unwanted email with: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names I consider this a bug because this informal message is printed to error out? Ok, I rewrite my tar job to get around this: tar -zc -f /mnt/backupInternalHosts/backup/backup.tar.gz -C / etc root home && touch /tmp/state_backup-backup Fine this works, but problems arise when I try to exclude things (example under /tmp/foo): $ mkdir dir1 dir2 dir1/dir2 $ touch dir1/dir2/importantFile $ tar -cvf tarfile.tar --exclude=dir2 -C /tmp/foo/ dir1 dir2 dir1/ Because the exclude pattern matches under dir1 my important File is not backed up. The problem is, I cannot specify the exclude pattern to match only /tmp/foo/dir2 , can I? Thx Rainer

Virtual Machine Manager Doesn't see vmx flag
by David McGuffey 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Finished installing CentOS 5.5 x86_64 on a new Dell tower workstation that has a quad core Intel processor and 8 GB of ram. BIOS has hardware virtualization support enabled. /proc/cpuinfo shows that all four cores have the vmx flag present. I applied a lot of the National Security Agency guide for securing Red Hat Linux 5, testing the key applications I need as I went. At the end of the process I bring up VMM and it claims that the hardware doesn't support full virtualization. I'm going to go back through the NSA guide today looking for settings that might have an impact. My goal is to find and back out 1 or more settings rather than start from scratch with a full reload. Any ideas where I should focus my efforts? Dave M
