I'm looking for something to manage multiple machines.
Within a few weeks we're getting about 32 machines to manage.
We need to manage via SSH, SFTP and mySQL.
Is there something available which gives an overview of the machines and opens a terminal or sftp session with the selected machine, with a shortcut or something like that?
i started to look into upgrading my LTS ubuntu server instances to Lucid. one the notable things that i have discovered is the lack of support for Webmin; it seems that Debian is no longer supporting packages required by Webmin. But it also appears that ubuntu team believes that Webmin may actually cause problems as it works in a different way than that presumed by Ubuntu. so i am now left with no way to manage my 10+ instances of ubuntu server that i used for studying and research. it seems that i am left with cluster-ssh as an alternative. but are there other alternatives, ideally similar to webmin?

I am currently getting my using nc but its only 1 port at a time (i know I can open up multiple sessions but thats cumbersome), it can't do UDP, and it closes at the end of the session.
A friend has suggested socat but it looks pretty much the same except it can do UDP, but also cumbersome, I have to manually output to a different file per port, etc.
Basically its so I can quickly test firewall and NAT rules.
I was wondering does anyone here know a good SQL management tool for ubuntu? I just want something with a nice GUI that doesn't require much hassle to add remove or even migrate databases.

I'm looking for a graphical database management tool that will allow me to create some tables and whatnot. I'm looking for an application similar to Toad: http://www.toadsoft.com/toadmysql/
Does anyone know of a similar program for Linux?
Does anyone have a suggestion for a very simple tool I could use to manage sales leads?
I said CRM in the title of this thread, but I don't really need anything that full-featured. All I want is something to help me manage my job search by keeping track of which jobs I have applied for, when I need to phone particular agencies again, and that sort of thing. I have tried installing a couple of Apache-based apps, but they have turned out to be too complicated to set up. I couldn't find a desktop app in the repos, but maybe I have missed something. A cloud-hosted service would probably be OK, so long as it is within my current �0 budget.
I keep getting the following error message every time I try to open the Hipo iPod Management Tool:

Just a quick question, is there a system user management app that could be accessed via a website for red hat (or really any distro)? Something kinda like phpMyAdmin, but can do useradd, userdel, groupadd, etc. For remote admins who don't know how to use ssh or the command line.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Fedora this morning. In the past I've tried OpenSuse and Ubuntu. OpenSuse has it's problems and I don't like Ubuntu's new "Unity" GUI, so I wanted to try something else.
1. I got my first error about 1 minute after loading, when I tried to do a software update.("could not add package update for fedora-release-rawhide-15-3(noarch)updates: fedora-release-rawhide-15-3.noarch"). Not sure what that's about, but I found a solution on these forums (just using yum update on the command line).
2. My wireless card (Realtek) is not working. It took me ages (days) to figure out how to get it to work in OpenSuse. I had to compile the driver from source and install the firmware. I'm trying to do the same in Fedora, but am getting an error I don't understand.
On OpenSuse I had to install "Linux Kernel Development", "C/C++ Development" and "Base Development" from YaST, then compile using "make" on the command line. In Fedora I've installed gcc gcc-c++, kernel-devel and kernel-headers using yum. When I try and make the file, I get the following error:
[Code]....
3. I can't find any kind of software management tool in Fedora, just the yum thing on the command line. I don't mind that, but how do I know the names of the things I want to install? Is there some way I can search for software or something?
Is there a open-source data protection management tool that anyone knows about and/or can recommend?

View 9 Replies View Relatedrecommend a utility to let me automatically apply shell commands I type to a list of given remote machines?I'm configuring and maintaining multiple servers all running Fedora 12 and I want them to have exactly the same configuration. I also need to check out code from subversion onto these machines; the same code from the same location into the same directory. I know I could use ssh to run each command individually for each machine, but is there a tool that will make this much easier?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI use mpssh or pssh to issue commands to multiple servers. Problem is that some of the commands require pseudo terminal and won't work with these tools. This will work just fine: "ssh -t user@server command" as stated under SSH man: -t = Force pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute arbitrary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be very useful, e.g., when implementing menu services.
Multiple -t options force tty allocation, even if ssh has no local tty. So, is there a workaround for the above tools? Or is there any other tool for multi server administration that will work? If you are not sure what I am talking about just try executing "ssh user@server top" and "ssh -t user@server top" to know exactly the difference.
I've got a bunch of PDF files that have been produced two "real" pages to a single PDF page; I'd like to chop these in half and put each half on a separate page. Essentially, I need something thatdoes the exact opposite of pdfnup (or psnup). Google and apt-cache search are giving me no love.Platform is Linux, open source preferred; as I've got a great pile of these to do something that can be scripted (as opposed to a GUI) would be nice, so I can just give it a list of them and have it chew away.A pre-existing script isn't the only option, either; if there's sample code to manipulate PDFs in similar ways with a third-party library, I can probably hack it into doing what I want.

I just want to search file names, not their content.
Using gnome-search-tool, if I search for "word1 word3" I can't find "word1 word2 word3.txt" but I do find it (and too many others) if I just search for "word1"
I would have thought a boolean AND search would just be automatic, but I guess not. I've already come across searchmonkey, but I'm not smart enough to figure out how to set it up to do this - i.e. I don't want to have to use regular expressions or be typing "*" all over the place.
P.S. I do use google desktop search, but I hate using it as the results are way too narrow to be of any use and haven't been able to figure out how to widen it.
P.P.S. I also found this: In terminal type gconf-editor and find gnome-search-tool in the Apps. Then look for the field quick_search_second_scan_excluded_paths and change the slash to nothing, i.e. delete the "/".
It worked for my ubuntu 10.04 pc, but not this one (ubuntu 9.1) - so I thought maybe there's another way...
I'm looking at setting up a couple automated systems: Here are a few examples:
* Internal accounting system to download and process emails
* Public web server to visit
I could put each system on its own separate box -- for example, it's generally good practice to separate anything that external users have access to (such as a webserver) from internal processes such as accounting. Now, rather than dishing out the money for two separate servers, could I get away with just installing new instances of VMWare on the same box for each system?
To give you an idea, these are not large scale computationally sensitive systems. The accounting one is simply downloading and tallying emails, and the latter is just a webserver with maybe 5 hits per day on a good day. I could definitely pick up a new box for say $50, but I wanted to know the general practice of using VMWare on the same box versus two separate boxes.
I have 2 partitions, 1 for OS and 1 for data. The OS 1 is going to be imaged with every Ubuntu OS update so that this image can be taken from the testing server to the live server. However, the data must stay on the live server, so the imaging it will not erase the data. Therefore, I divided the live server into 2 partitions: OS and data.
I want to be able to save all of my customizations and data on the live server to the data partition. This includes (but is definitely not limited to) MySQL databases, Apache configurations, my /var/www/ folder, etc. How would I go about doing this? As in how do I set MySQL/Apache/etc. to save their configuration files on the data partition? Or is there a totally better way to achieve what I want?
Is there any Print Management service for centralized Print Manager and Print Monitor?

I am in a class called Linux System Administration and we are setting up Fedora 8 as a server. Per the class instructions, I have changed the default runlevel to 3 so the system always boots to a command line. The instructions say log in with your regular user account [I KNOW HOW TO DO THIS] and use the startx command to load GNOME. [I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THIS]
I searched the Internet and the text book, but found nothing I could understand.
Is there any computer management software like Cafe123 for Windows? Some friends of mine tried to reduce the cost for setting up computers by making one of the counter/server using Linux, instead of using Windows. And another reason that he want to avoid the counter server from being infected by malware such as those malware spread using usb drive. EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention that, the server intended to use will be powered with Ubuntu, and the client computers will using Windows XP instead.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI maintain a samba PDC for a small business, our current setup does not work very well; on a hardware upgrade I directled imported the old ldap database and attempting to add machines to the domain causes all sorts of trouble.
I'm 95% sure the original database (which predates my employment) was created using the idealx smb-ldap tools, unfortunately on our current platform (debian lenny) these tools seem to be broken; the only things hey seem to do reliably are set passwords and add posix users, asking them to do anything involving samba/windows causes errors. The idealx tools seem to be abandoned, and I don't know enough perl to try and fix them.
Since the idealx scripts seem to be abandoned, and most of the good samba+ldap how-tos references the idealx tools, I was wondering what people use nowadays to manage there ldap directories; surely they aren't importing .ldif files to add new users/machines like I've been doing. Are people just writing thier own management scripts/web-apps? Or are the smb=ldap tools just broke on debian?how to generate the NT/LM password hashes and proper SIDs, does anybody have anything they could point me to about this?
I'm curious if anybody can shed some light for me in this department. We're in a large environment with a Windows DHCP Server. We have been tinkering with LTSP on Edubuntu as thin and fat clients. It works great, but right now we just have 1 server handling the lab, which works fine unless we want to expand, which may be very possible.
These are the instructions I received:
Login to your windows server and load the DHCP configuration screen
Create a DHCP reservation for the MAC address you obtained
Add the configuration options below to enable the machine to boot from the LTSP server
017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386
066 Boot Server Host Name: <ip address>
067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/arch/pxelinux.0 # Specify CPU architecture in place of 'arch', for instance 'i386'

I'm curious, what if I want to have multiple Ubuntu servers on the network that I want to have bootable? For example, let's say I have 3 labs, and 3 servers. Server A to Lab A, Server B to Lab B, and Server C to Lab C. I want all C's computers to boot to C, and B to B, A to A, etc.
1 - How would I add multiple entries on the Windows DHCP Server to allow all 3 (A B C) servers to boot?
2 - How would I be able to isolate the clients so ONLY Lab A clients boot to Server A, etc?
I am replacing a home network - Windows Server 2003 and 5 PCs (XP Pro) with UBUNTU 10.4 LTS Server and client versions. I am keeping a couple of the PCs with dual boot until I can migrate everything over (Having some issues with iTunes, Family Tree Maker, Media serving, DVD decrypt and a couple of others, but that is for another post). It was great fun getting the server up and running using only shell commands. Took me ages just to get a folder shared! Migrating the data over from NTFS to ext3 was also fun given the limited space on the partitions.
I really only want to use the server for communal network type things ... central user account maintenance, shared folders for music, video etc and data backup. I don't need it to be performing server functions on the Internet e.g. web server etc although that may come later. How I set up central user management? All the PCs are currently setup with local user ids, and it is a bit of a pain to go round each PC every time I change something.
The server is not always up, so I need to be able to log into the local PC without it being active. I was using Active Directory on Server 2003, but I don't need anything that complex really ... just 3 or 4 users to manage. I have been looking at the setup tutorial at [URL] but am not sure how relevant a lot of it is. I have SSH setup so I can login remotely, NFS is working to share the folders, but that is about all I have done so far.
Has anyone come across a decent Inventory (Hardware & Software) Gathering Tool.I googled out, but could not found anything impressive.
