I am looking to build up a HA/LB linux cluster with specific software requirements. For hardware, I have a number of dual xeon PE 2650s and would like to use them as efficiently as possible. These are 32bit systems, I anticipate scaling up to 64bit systems when I have a tested, working solution in place. For distro, I am familiar with CentOs, Gentoo and Ubuntu but unsure as to which would be the best foundation, although leaning towards CentOs. For software, I need to realise all the services provided by xampp (Apache, MySql, PHP, Perl, FTP), plus Red5 flash media server.
My current train of thought is;
6 physical servers; 2 Directors/Heartbeat, 2 Apache, 2 Red5
Gigabit private network for connecting the nodes.
CentOs 5.5 on all nodes.
DRDB across the 2 Apache nodes for Apache, MySql, PHP.
DRDB across the 2 Red5 nodes for Red5.
I'm needing to stand up a Lamp server for a SugarCRM migration. I've been told I need to ensure php 5.2 on the box along with ensuring several mod's are installed as well for php and apache. I was planning on using the lamp provided from xampp (apache friends) but they're current build is using PHP 5.3, any suggestions on how to get around it? If I have to build the whole thing from several packages (apache, php, mysql) then no problem, but I really like the myphpadmin page that comes with the xampp installer.

View 5 Replies View Relatedmy system I want user1 and only user1 to be able to mount and unmount a specific partition, this partition contains backups and is usually mounted read only, needs to be temporarily mounted read/write by user1 while doing the backup.user1 is an unprivileged user. I've read that the user option will let any user mount the file-system (and only that user can then subsequently unmount it) and that the users option allows any user to mount or unmount the file-system.I also found this in mount's man pageQuote:The owner option is similar to the user option, with the restriction that the user must be the owner of the special file. This may be useful e.g. for /dev/fd if a login script makes the console user owner of this device. The group option is similar, with the restriction that the user must be member of the group of the special file.So it looks like I'd need a login script for that user to make the user owner of the device file (/dev/voiceserv/backup in this case)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a need to run a specific app as a specific user when the machine boots into init 3. I can not run this as root so I need to specify a user. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this?I usually have to log in and start this application by typing check -D which starts this app and daemonizes it. I want to be able to run that at boot with my normal user not root.I hope I explained this correctly.I have added it to rc.local but it runs as root.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to deny telnet and ssh to one specific user. So far I've only tested with telnet and my attempts have been limited to various hosts.deny entries:
in.telnetd : user@server
in.telnetd : user@server.domain.com
in.telnetd : user@IP_address
in.telnetd : user@.domain.com
None of these work. The only thing I've found that does work is:in.telnetd : IP_addressBut this is only a semi-viable solution because we will soon have multiple logins for the one username from different servers and sub-nets. Ideally, I'd like to be able to deny telnet and ssh access to this username regardless of where the login originates. I suppose it would be possible to specify each server IP, but that'll be a bear to maintain

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo right now VNC is starting a session using :1. When I connect to that session, the terminal is logged in as root. I'd like for the terminal to be logged in as a different user as some of my end users are going to be using this and don't require such privileges. I found that I can "su" to a different user and start a new VNC daemon on :2 and when I connect to that session, the terminal is logged in as that user. What I want to do is get that to run at boot-up.

How can i grant permission for files to specific user or specific group ??
Updated:
We have 3 groups: "g12" ("u1" and "u2), "g34" and "g56".
"g12" should only read the file.
"g34" should write and read it.
"g56" should have all permissions (rwx).
And others should not access the file at all.
I run the openssh daemon on port 22 and have the proftp running on port 21. I would like to block SSH for a specific user.I use proftpd.I would like to prevent the SSH access for this user and leave the FTP working for this user specific.Into /etc/passwd, I tried to change the /bin/bash to /bin/false, but this blocks both SSH and FTP access for this account.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI did some digging on the sudo command and I do know the config file is /etc/sudoers Read the manual for sudoers and found out that I must use visudo to edit the file I read some of the examples at the bottom of the file and tried entering my own account in following the example. one of the commands I was trying to allow my account to perform without root login is the mount command So I tried adding this in (kreid8 /bin/mount ALL) I then saved & exited the file and logged out of root and tried sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media. I got an error saying I had to be root in order to do that But when I use the visudo -l option it shows that I have that privellege. Did I edit the file incorrectly?
