We have a customer that wants to look at other possibilities regarding deployment of redhat server. They are now using Altiris. Do you have any other good software, free or not free.
View 1 RepliesI have to deploy a server to some customers that should not be given access to the server itself. I know that nothing is 100% secure but I've searched without finding a decent answer (maybe I googled for the wrong terms ?)I need some advice about encrypted filesystem. * The server must boot without asking for a passphrase (the server will be in a restricted access area so typing a password could take a while). I can't store the password for luks in an unencrypted file so it seems a loop to me. The only way out I can see is to store the passphrase in the boot binaries (better than nothing...) but this results in more work for me.* possibly the customer should not be able to move the hard disks to another pc, i.e. reading the passphrase from some unique hardware ID. This is risky but I could add a master passphrase to be used in case of hardware replacement

View 1 Replies View RelatedAnyone done a deployment of Samba3 > 3.3.4. Had to install this version as I am preparing a domain for Windows 7 computers. My installation on CentOS went well. smbd and nmbd are running OK. I am able to test user accounts with the
smbclient -U usertest \hostusertest
However, I cannot seem to be able to add a computer, even a Win XP workstation to the domain. I used smb.conf files from a previous Samba 3.0.28 with minimal modifications. Kindly forward your smb.conf file, here is mine:
[global]
workgroup = DOMAIN
netbios name = DOMAIN_SERVER
server string = Samba Server Version %v
passdb backend = tdbsam
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 40 .....
Anyone explain me the difference between installation and deployment?

1. kickstart == is only for new OS instalation, it needs a Linux CD source
2. systemimage == is for clone the partition (not massive deployment)
3. kiwi == only for SUSE
I'm trying to rsync files and directories from a RedHat linux host(v 4.5 & 4.7) to a Windows server 2003R2 Standard Edition with cygwin running. I'm executing the rsync command from the cygwin shell. The transfer involves rsync'ing approximately 1 TB of data from the linux server to the windows server. After about 280+GB of data transfer, the transfer just dies.
There seems to be no particular file or directory that the transfer stops at. I'm able to rsync GB's of data from other linux hosts to this cygwin server with no problem. Files and directories rsync fine.The network infrastructure is essentially the same regardless of the server being rsync'ed in that it is GB Ethernet running through Cisco GB switches. There appear to be no glitches or hiccups across the network path.
I've asked the folks at rsync.samba.org if they know of any problems or issues. Their response has been neutral in that if the version of rsync that cygwin has ported is within standards then there is no rsync reason this problem should happen.I've asked the cygwin support site if they know of any issues and they have yet to reply. So, my question is whether the version of rsync that is ported to cygwin is standard. If so, is there any reason cygwin & rsync keep failing like this?
I've asked the local rsync on linux guru's and they can't see any reason this should fail from a linux perspective. Apparently I am our company cygwin knowledge base by default.
vote on the best automated deployment for 10.04 lts desktop! have 50units identical pc's, one pdc (openldap, bind, dhcp) and one fs (nfs server). thinking of installing just one pc with all the updates, program addons and stuff, then thinking of: disk image the disk and copy to the rest of the 49units and just edit the host name and activate the etho by sudo mv /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.old would this be ok? i mean there will be no problem if users authenticate an stuff?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe last days I try to find a good and easy solution to keep new installed Servers with same basic configuration. For example every new Installed Server should have:
- phpmyadmin installed and configured
- munin installed and configured
- mysql server with some predefined users and passwords
- same users created with existing ssh keys. also ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file with pub key inside
At the moment I use some bash script to create the users and sync the keys. Basically I need to install predefined packages and remove some other packages configure some config files (or copy working configs). I have looked at cfengine and puppet Server. And I am asking my self if this tools are overkill for this task.
I am writing a python package deployment tool for linux based platforms. I have tried various existing tool sets but none of them is up to the mark and they have their own issues. Initially I'll start with simple approach.
1. Find all the modules/packages and copy to "lib" directory.
2. Find python's *.so dependencies (system libs) and copy them to "syslib"
3. Copy python (executable) and libpython2.6.so.1.0 into "dist" directory.
4. Set up temp environment
5. Run main script using "python <main script>.py"
The idea is to produce a cleaner directory structure. Neither I am creating a boot loader nor I am converting main script file into executable. It's plain vanilla stuff. Using above steps I have pulled down a package using wxPython's demo example "pySketch.py". You can download the archive from here: [URL]. After extracting the contents, run the executable file using "./run". This file sets temporary environment variables and execute "pySketch.py". This is eventually not working. I think I am not able to set up temporary environment properly or may be missing some other stuff.
I have been able to find enough information that I need to enable 'time-udp' in /etc/xinetd.d/ But there isn't an entry for time-udp. How do I enable time-udp (Time of Day server) on a Red Hat system? It's RHEL 5.6 64bit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI previously had a machine that dual booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. I recently attempted to wipe out the 32 bit Ubuntu and install 64 bit Ubuntu.
Here what I did:
- I booted from the LiveCD, and had no problems
- I formatted /sda3 using gparted. I checked that Ubuntu resided on /sda3 via the command "sudo fdisk -l". This worked fine.
- I then clicked the "install ubuntu" option on the desktop, and chose the largest chunk of free space.
- About 15% through the install, I was told the CD could not be read from due to a potential scratch or issue. I then tried to revert back to the Os running from the LiveCD, and things went crazy. I had trouble shutting down the machine and did a hard reset.
Now, whenever I boot I am greeted with the following message:
Windows Deployment Services: PXE boot aborted
error: no such partition
grub rescue>
At the grub rescue prompt when I ls, I see:
(hd0) (hd0,4) (hd0,2) (hd0,1)
I can still boot the LiveCD. I tried that again and tried to again format sda3 using gparted but had no luck fixing the issue. When booting from the LiveCD I am also told by gparted that "sda1 does not coincide with a cylinder boundary" or something of that nature.

What are important differences between them?
I had Windows XP working. I then put in a new hard disk and installed Redhat 5 on it. rom then i could only boot into Redhat. Further, everyting is very slow. Anothe rproblem is that Redhat does not see my netwrok so I cannot get onto the Internet. I need to have the choice of booting into XP or Redhat.

After some research, I decided to give rsyslog a whirl (versus syslog-ng).roblem has come down to compilation errors which, unfortunately, I've not been able to resolve otherwise (rsyslog forums) and it appears this is a larger problem with the product.

Installation of CVS on Redhat linux
Installing CVS on Redhat Linux Redhat Enterprise 4.0
The following steps give simple steps to install CVS software on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4.0.
1) Download the tarball cvs-1.11.1p1.tar.gz
2) Run "gunzip cvs-1.11.1p1.tar". You will get file called cvs-1.11.1p1.tar.
3) Then extract this file using command
"tar -xvf cvs-1.11.1p1.tar".
4) Then go to directory cvs-1.11.1p1.
5) There you will find a file called INSTALL. Read it once carefully.
6) Now run the command "./configure."
7) Build it using the command "make".
8) Install binaries/documentation using command "make install".
9) Now open file called /etc/services and add the following lines.
Cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS client/server operations
cvspserver 2401/udp # CVS client/server operations
10) Open file called /etc/xinetd.conf and add the following lines to that file.
service cvspserver
{
Port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv =
server = /opt/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/home/cvs -f pserver
env = HOME=/home/cvs
log = /var/log/cvslog
}
11) Space on both sides of = in the above file is a must.
12) Restart xinetd services by running command " services xinted restart "
13) Check whether CVS is running on the port 2401 by using the following command "nmap IP |grep 2401". If the CVS server is running correctly it will give output as "2401/tcp open cvspserver ".
It doesn't output like "2401/tcp open cvspserver"
