Fedora Installation :: LDAP - NIS - Kerberos - Add Mint Machines To Server To Use New Security Settings
Dec 10, 2009I wish to setup a network that works like windows but for with lunix of course!. It will need to be able to handle security/DNS/DHCP & Document store from one location. I've been doing some reading and have found that I think I need to be using one of the following:
LDAP
NIS
Kerberos
I have looked at a few Linux based OS's. I did notice that when you install fedora live desktop it gives you the option to connect to one of the above. So I am looking for a complete solution.
1. How to setup fedora to act as server for my needs (or other Linux build)
2. Add fedora/linux mint machines to server to use new security settings. (or other linux build)

View 2 Replies View RelatedInstallation :: Clean Install Fedora 11 From USB?
Jan 7, 2010The Fedora Core 8 which has been preloaded is certainly not up to scratch as all I want the laptop for is to play MP4 and AVI files. I have looked over all the threads on how to load fedora 11 (recommended version), and have gone to the Fedora site to download the files (32-bit was also recommended - running a i686 Intel Atom).
1. My issue is do I download the files onto CD/DVD, then copy those straight onto a USB and boot from there, or can I find another way to get it directly onto a USB stick without having to waste a CD/DVD?
2. There is also mention of a clean install and partitions across quite a few threads but I can't see how to do these and in what order, and are they necessary?
p.s there is no CD/DVD player on this machine so it can only be loaded from USB.
Fedora Installation :: Can't Seem To Get OS To Load For Clean Install
Apr 8, 2010So, I currently have Ubuntu on my laptop and would like to install F12 instead.I burned a copy of the F12 .iso and set my BIOS to boot from CDROM drive, but Ubuntu continues to load and I can't seem to get the OS to load for a clean install (from the .iso, even after extraction).Unfortunatly, the BIOS will not let me boot from USB otherwise I would try that.Any ideas on what might get this off the ground?
View 8 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Live CD Or DVD For Clean Install?
Oct 21, 2010For the last two releases I've used pre-upgrade ( F11>F12>F13 ). While F13 is working OK it's showing one or two minor glitches, such as the odd hang and sometimes part of the Gnome taskbar doesn't load. I realise these may be just F13 issues, but in case they're due to accumulated errors in two updates I'm planning to back up and do a clean install of F14 - once the feeding frenzy has died down.
The question, as posed in the title, is whether to D/L the full DVD or install from a live CD and add the apps I need. For instance, I don't need to network with my other computers - data transfer is by ' sneakernet ' with a pen drive - and I'm sure there's quite a bit else I can live without which the standard DVD install will contain, such as chat. Conversely, I'll be installing some extras such as Google Earth using AutoX.So basically, will installing from a live CD be any real benefit or will I just be making work fro myself? I frequently notice updates which don't seem to have much to do with the apps I use regularly, but they may contain essential dependencies.
Fedora Hardware :: Does A New CPU Require A Clean Install
Mar 30, 2011I'm upgrading my duo core to a quad core. I don't have to change mobo or anything, as both are 775 socket. I don't have anything valuable in my current install of Fedora 14, so I don't mind a clean install if it'll save me a headache with drivers later. But, if it's absolutely unnecessary, I'll skip the reinstall altogether. I'm switching my duo core (E8*** series, can't remember which) for the Q6600.

Apr 15, 2010I was using Fedora 9 until about 1 month ago when my hard drive crashed. I installed F12 on a new hard drive last week. Due to some other software issues (empathy), I decided I should try to get the latest updates. PackageKit kept giving errors and would not update. So, I researched and found that I needed to run " su -c 'yum update' " for the first update then PackageKit would work. I did this and after about an hour of updating, the screen went black. Nothing you can do at that point but hard reboot.
When I did that, I could only get a "GRUB" command line. I played with it for a minute but really I have no idea what to do with GRUB cmd (beyond my experience level). So I decided to wipe it out and reinstall F12. I did that, and was just working thru the updates again. Same thing happened, went to black screen. I have not rebooted it yet, but Im sure when I do, it will be GRUB again. What in the world am I supposed to do with this? I am not a Linux star, but I have been using it for around 8 years now with various distros, so I would say I have at least moderate experience.
Fedora :: Yum Upgrade From Fc11 To Fc12, NO Clean Install?

Dec 5, 2010I just installed F14 on my thinkpad R61 notebook and I am not able to completely browse the web. By that I mean that I can connect and access and browse fedora.org (from firefox) and I can install software and updates but no general browsing. I can successfully ping [URL] in a terminal but I am blocked in a browser.
I tried both hardwired and wireless connections to my router, same issues with both and my desktop machine running F14 works just fine (hard line) on the same router.I also tried disabling the firewall and it does not change anything.

May 30, 2011My windows partition is infected and I recall that it is supposed to be possible from the linux partition with ClamAV. Now I'm running Fedora12 but this forum is much more active and I suppose that doesn't make a big difference. I tried to find something on google but most procedures seem to involve a Live CD but it would be more convenient for me to just do it from my linux distro running. Is there anything I have to be aware of or is it literally just scanning the windows partition with ClamAV?
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Clean Mask For Files And Folders Through Samba
Feb 9, 2010Still working on the mask of files for shared folder. I now have a shared folder with the exact behavior I expect :
Code:
sudo addgroup share_group
sudo mkdir /media/volume/shared_dir
sudo chgrp share_group /media/volume/shared_dir
sudo chmod g+s /media/volume/shared_dir
sudo chmod 770 /media/volume/shared_dir
sudo setfacl -d -m group::rwx /media/volume/shared_dir
sudo setfacl -d -m other::--- /media/volume/shared_dir
emma@box:/media/volume/shared_dir$ ls -al
total 8
drwxrws---+ 2 root share_group 4096 2010-02-09 12:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2010-02-09 11:58 ..
-rw-rw----+ 1 emma share_group 0 2010-02-09 12:53 test
By default, user from the group can modify this file. That's perfect.
I have define the share in Samba this way :
Code:
[share]
comment = Shared Folder
path = /media/volume/shared_dir
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = no
hide dot file = yes
# force group = share_group
# create mask = 0660
# directory mask = 0770
# force create mask = 0660
# force directory mask = 0770
When drag & dropping a file in this share, here is the default mask:
Code:
emma@box:/media/volume/shared_dir$ ls -al
total 192
drwxrws---+ 2 root share_group 4096 2010-02-09 12:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2010-02-09 11:58 ..
-rw-rwx---+ 1 emma share_group 6148 2010-02-09 12:54 .DS_Store
-rw-rwxr--+ 1 emma share_group 176684 2009-12-21 23:33 IMG_7487.jpg
So the dropped file have execution rights for the group, and read access for other. I expected it to have the same rights than the file created directly using the touch command. I tried to play with the mask options, without success. The file has been dropped from my mac, which is a Unix like OS. I guess that some authorization access are inherited from the original file, for the user and other parts. But where does the group authorization come from ? Moreover, is is possible to define in samba a default mask, whatever the authorization of the original file?
Ubuntu Security :: Ldap Authentication And Auto-homedirs For Desktop Machines?
Aug 12, 2010Set up a lab full of Lucid boxes that authenticate against the main university Sun ldap server and create local, limited, homedirs if they don't already exist.
The ldap server is freely accessible on our network and does not require authentication to do a query. Users will not be able to make changes on the ldap server from these workstations. I cannot set up homedirs of users manually - any one of 15,000 people could walk in and use one of these machines.
What I've got working so far: Authentication works, but when I log in through GDM, after a few errors, I get nothing but a blank desktop (with wallpaper and cursor). If I log in as a local user and su to an ldapuser I get assigned a home directory at /, which explains the errors; this kind of user can't write to /. I've seen posts on this but nothing that works for me.
The problem, as I've identified it: I'm using pam_mkhomedir to create home directories on first login, but I don't seem to have any way of telling pam_mkhomedir *where* to create the home directories. I've tried to use the nss_map_attribute in /etc/ldap.conf (like this: nss_map_attribute homeDirectory "/home/users/"uid), but my syntax is all guesswork - I can't seem to find anyone else trying to mangle a homedir this way.
Most either don't deal with the homedir thing at all, or if they do, they only cover nfs/smb shares.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 Clean Install Will Not Boot Past Splash?
May 18, 2011I just switched back to openSUSE from Fedora linux. I made a clean install of openSUSE 11.4, but had trouble when installing the boot loader. For whatever reason the auto-partition tool hadn't given me a /boot partition even though the GRUB configuration referenced it. So I switched the / partition to /boot and the /home to / and now I don't have a /home partition. Is this why my system won't boot past the splash screen in "normal" mode, but boots fine in "failsafe"?
