What I did try to work around is,
1. Set portfast to all the ports connected the PXE server and client.
2. Edit pxelinux.cfg/default, try different setting in "ip=" (I did not find any menu in the internet which explain to to configure this file).

We are trying to set up a NIS server on a CentOS system. We need to have a NIS server which can provide NIS authentication to a couple of clients. We are practically new to all this stuff.
Just googled to find some ideas about installing ypserv and ypbind and portmapper. We did all that and also started them successfully. But now the clients are not able to join to the NIS domain . The error log states "YP_DOMAIN NOT BOUND".
I guess we have not entered the /etc/yp.conf, /etc/hosts files properly. Please let us know the detailed steps to setup a NIS server .
Also, please let us know what entries should go into the different /etc/<file_names>? What is meant by HOSTNAME in the /etc/hosts file?
Is there any other files which need to be changed? Are we missing any steps?
Also to add-on, while executing the ypinit command we faced the following error:
At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS servers. localhost.localdomain is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please cont inue to add the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the list, type a <control D>. next host to add: localhost.localdomain next host to add:
The current list of NIS servers looks like this:

I'm trying to setup a PXE boot environment.Now the diskless machine reads in vmlinuz and initrd.lz from the /tftpboot directory of the dhcp server machine (host name: antilop, runing slackware 11.0).There is a NFS export named /usr/data/ubuntu on antilop (which can be mounted from the client when runing mandriva mcnlive Toronto)When I'm trying to boot with PXE, the kernel and initrd starts, eth0 gets a valid ip address.Then a lot of error messages appear saying: NFS over TCP not available from 192.168.1.48 <- this is antilop, my DHCP server and NFS server too.
Here is the content of the /tftpboot directory:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 2010-02-11 20:49 boot.txt
-rwxr--r-- 1 tjp users 75564 2009-10-05 16:08 gpxelinux.0*

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 3890400 2009-10-16 00:00 vmlinuz
Here is the contents of my /pxelinux.cfg/default:
default aaaa
label aaaa
kernel vmlinuz
append boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.48:/usr/data/ubuntu initrd=initrd.lz
There is no process listening on tcp port 2049 (on antilop)I asked my friend google but it didn't give a satisfying answer so far.Some said that no nfs-over-tcp exists on slackware, some said nfs clients trying over tcp must fallback to udp.
I'll try to describe my question as clear as possible.
- I have purchased a domain name : *****.md
- In the panel of registrar I have only the following options to complete :
Primary NS Hostname
Primary NS Netaddress
Secondary NS Hostname
Secondary NS Netaddress
- At home I have :
a)a WiFi router that is getting an external IP from my ISP provider (internal address of router is 192.168.1.111); External IP from ISP is STATIC.
b)a computer which I use as server (ubuntu 10) with internal IP 192.168.1.100 (I get it by DHCP from Router but it can be set as static of course);
- On server are installed :
a) Apache + Mysql + PHP
b) Ftp serv
c) Webmin
d) SSH serv
e) Bind9 DNS serv
- On my WiFi router there is an option "Forwarding -> Virtual servers" where I setup the ports 53 + 80 to forward to my server and I can access from external my site by IP.
All I want is to have my site *****.md to run on my server and to be visible to external world.
I have searched Google for last 2-3 days for a solution but everything I try doesn't help.
I'm new in Linux ( 1 week probably). Everything except DNS server Bind I was able to setup and are working well.
Here is a thought experiment:
1. Copy vmlinuz and initrd.img from isolinux subdir into /boot
2. Adjust grub.conf to boot to that kernel
3. Reboot to setup
4. Format /boot (actually '/' ) during "fresh install"
5. Proceed with the installation-over-network
I see two possible outcomes:
1. The setup fails to reformat the drive, because it is "in use" by boot kernel
2. The partition is not "in use" and the installation succeeds
Why? Old cluster with broken CD-drives, lacking USB, and no separate /boot partition.
I am currently booting 4 flavors of Linux - Ubuntu 10.04, Xubuntu 10.04, Linux Mint 9 KDE RC and Linux Mint 9 Gnome. There is so little difference between Ubuntu Gnome with the right packages installed and Linux Mint 9 it is redundant and I would like to replace it with Fedora 13 and try that out for a while. I understand that Fedora still uses a legacy Grub while the others are all using Grub2. I also understand that the two bootloaders do not get along. Is there a way to do that? How? If I have Fedora install its legacy Grub to the Fedora partition will Grub2 see Fedora and update itself properly? I'm open to starting clean if that would simplify things.

I currently run a Windows 7 Compaq laptop with an Athlon x2 and 4gig of DDR2. I want to either set up a dual-boot on my laptop, or make Linux the Primary with Windows running in something like a virtual box. I am very much into Android and I want to learn Linux as a result of that. So which Distro should be considered in a situation like this.

Laptop has working floppy (had to repair it) distros that are good for older units like that that also support booting from diskettes, and then can mount and install from a USB CDDVD rom drive.

My plan is to optimize the system for speed and utility, upgrade the OS from W2000 Pro to XP Pro, and include dual boot so as to install some version/distro (?) of Linux to learn on. Present system: X86 based (32 bit), using a P4, 1.8 GHz/400 MHz fsb, with 512mb of DDR RAM installed, can upgrade to 2 gigs total.Shuttle MV42 motherboard, including onboard video and sound (S3 Graphics ProSavage DDR P4M266/VIA 8751/8233 chipset, VIA AC'97 Audio Controller, 2.2 compliant)
If I should decide to use the available 160 gig drive as a dual boot system, in order to install both XP and some version of Linux, how should I set it up? How many partitions will XP and Linux need or work with best? How much space for each OS? What file systems? Should I format/partition it with the existing W2000 OS? What comes first, the chicken or the egg? (XP or Linux?) I have read somewhere that it matters which OS is installed first, due to boot records being overwritten by successive OS installs. I plan to keep W2000 on the first HDD at least until I move my files over to XP. Will I need to switch the master/slave designations after installing XP and Linux on the new drive, since I will want to boot from that drive?

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 to configure telecom equipments. The software downloading process to the equipment requires that my Ubuntu laptop should act as a SFTP server where the software bundle for the equipment is stored. The equipment act as a SFTP client and requests the software from the server. The equipment have SFTP client hardwired in its memory. The same process i did with windows and i used Putty and FreeFtpD and it worked. Now i want to move to Ubuntu as i want to show that it is better. I have installed OpenSSH server in my laptop and now i need to know few things that i could not find anywhere straight forword.
1)I am using a ubuntu live usb drive with persistancy. How do i set username and password for the client, that is how to create the account in OpenSSH server?
2)I need to keep the software for the equipment in a folder inside server, so that it can be transferred to client upon request. In windows I give the path of the folder to FreeFtpD server. How to do the same in OpenSSH server?
Setting up servers and clients in linux is completely new for me.If this is done (as i know it can be but dont know how) then i can completely move from windows to Ubuntu environment.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have set up servers between two computers hooked up to the same router. But something has bothered me for years, i would think there is a simple(relatively speaking) way this works.
I can't seem to understand is how to setup a server in Iowa, and have someone in Colorado access it.
All IP addresses Ive seen are 192.168.x.x., which obviously can't hold too many, so accessing a server in Iowa isn't going to work by just knowing the IPaddress the computer will tell you.
Ive run into DNS, netmask, gateways, and I can understand at least somewhat how they work, but it hasn't helped me to make a connection from thousands of miles away.
From what I can understand, I would need to find out multiple addresses(IP?), between each step the transaction would have to travel. Is this close to how it works? and how do I find out the info/addresses I need to find a server miles away?
