Ubuntu Security :: Adding Name To GPG Key With Signatures?
Dec 31, 2009I have a GnuPG key that's been signed by several people. I want to add another name (and e-mail) to it.I used seahorse to do it, but it doesn't look like the old signatures migrated to the new name.Is this standard behavior? Is there a way that I can migrate the signatures, or do I have to request that the signers themselves do it?

CentOS 5 :: 5.5 Kickstart Install From Harddrive?
May 23, 2010I'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 from harddrive using a kickstart file. Kickstart file is read correctly, it contains the following 3 lines (+ additional config):
install
harddrive --partition=sda11 --dir=repos/CentOS/5.5/isos/i386
repo --name="CentOS-5.5 - Updates" --baseurl=hd:sda11:repos/CentOS/5.5/updates/i386
I've downloaded both CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso and CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1of7.iso, but anaconda (the installer) asks: - What partition and directory on that partition holds the CD (iso9660) images for CentOS? ...
VT3 gives these messages:
INFO: partition /dev/sda11 selected
INFO: mounting device sda11 for hard drive install
INFO: mntloop loop7 on /tmp/loopimage as /tmp/hdimage/repos/CentOS/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1of7.iso fd is 12

CentOS 5 :: Unattended Kickstart Install Supporting Both IDE (hda) / SCSI (sda)?
Apr 6, 2010Can an unattended Kickstart support both IDE (hda) and SCSI (sda)? The goal is to to create a new virtual machine from scratch. What I have works for Parallels in which a new VM defaults to emulate an IDE hard disk. It does not work for VMware Workstation which defaults to emulate a SCSI disk.
The relevant Kickstart section: bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=hda --append="rhgb quiet"
clearpart --all --initlabel --linux --drives=hda
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda
part pv.2 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=hda
volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.2
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1024 --grow
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1024 --grow --maxsize=2048
Can the Kickstart file be made to not care what drive type is there, or conditionally handle either type?
Fedora :: Network Install Via Kickstart Using A - Created - Local Repository - F12 - F14
Jan 5, 2011I am looking for a thorough document that explains:
1) Creating a local repo
2) Using kickstart to access that repo
3) Performing a network install using kickstart
Some background: I have several racks of servers that I need to install Fedora on. These servers CANNOT be placed on the internet; hence the need for the creation of a local repo on some other machine (which will be connected to the servers via a local network). I am not sure how to create a local repo, so that one of my questions.
I'd also like to automate as much of the install as possible and kickstart is the only thing I know of for that. I am no guru with kickstart, but I have used it before to successfully install Fedora Core 6 -- I am hoping there are no great changes with the current releases of Fedora (12-14)?
A local repo of Fedora Core 6 was created by someone (some time ago) on a workstation (running FC6). This is what I've used in the past to install FC6 on previous servers (via a kickstart CD). However, I dont have the documentation on how the repo was created or how the kickstart CD was created I've gleaned some ideas ok kickstart from the pieces I've read on web, but none of it has been specific to the latest releases of Fedora.

Software :: RedHat Kickstart Post Fglrx Rpm Install Not Working
Feb 23, 2010As the title says, I'm building a kickstart for a RedHat installation.I'm trying to incorporate the firegl driver rpm installation and its halfway working, not completly. What I've tried so far is to place the rpm in the --nochroot and in the normal chroot enviornment and neither one works. In the --nochroot, install it with rpm --root /mnt/sysimage/ and in the normal post i just do an rpm -ivh. In either case the fglrx folder is built within /lib/modules, however everything thats supposed to be installed never makes it to the newly installed root. I'm thinking that its actually getting installed to the installation / as opposed to the new /.

Apparently the server was hacked using my user and the server admin suggested the my ssh can be tainted.
do a checksum of the ssh, but I cannot find this file on my system.

Ubuntu Security :: How To Disable Apt Authentication Check
Apr 3, 2011having a slow internet connection, I bought the all maverick repository on DVDs, copied the files on a usb drive and modified the apt sources file to consider the local repository only:
Code:
# deb file:/var/www/ubuntu_local/ ./
deb file:/var/www/maverick/dvd1/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb file:/var/www/maverick/dvd2/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
deb file:/var/www/maverick/dvd3/ maverick main universe restricted multiverse
[code]....
Even though I am reasonably sure it is safe, this local repository is not authenticated and I can only install package through the command line or synaptic, the Ubuntu Software Centre giving an error message "Requires installation of untrusted packages"...I thus would like to disable the apt authentication check for this local repository.
General :: Script To Check Password Security
Apr 22, 2010Im trying to make a script that will test the suitability of a password. I understand that all the features I want are in the /etc/pam.d/common-password file. From here I can change the length of a password, what characters must be in a password, if the words are in the dictionary, etc... but I don't know how to change these values by using a script. I want it in a script because I want to be able to suggest a more suitable password if the original password doesn't meet the criteria.
