similar to: coordinated NIS and LDAP servers

Hello listmates, I have discovered a very strange SFTP problem which I can not connect to anything but NIS thus far. See here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/sftp-seems-to-fail-for-nis-accounts-under-openssh-5-x-816020/ http://readlist.com/lists/suse.com/suse-linux-e/38/193419.html Hence the question: is NIS (YP) still in use much anywhere for authentication? Thanks.

Hello listmates. It appears that in order to authenticate a Mac OS X Lion client via NIS the passwords in passwd and passwd.byname maps need to be MD5 encrypted. How do I see what encryption has been used in my maps? How do I change it? Thanks. Boris.

I installed it on a sandbox server, and from what I recall, it pulled in a tsunami of

Hi, In the past I've setup simple centralized authentication with NIS and NFS, without bothering about possible security implications. Over the next month I have to setup a new network in a local school, and I wonder if I should use NIS/NFS. I still have my own documentation, it's simple and somewhat bone-headed to setup, and it just works. RHEL/CentOS 7 still provide NIS, and I vaguely

Hi, Over the last few years, I've been using a rather bone-headed solution to implement centralized authentication and roamin user profiles in Linux-based networks: a combination of NIS and NFS. I'm aware it's not ideal in terms of security, but it's been running in our local school since 2010, and it just works. The current setup is based on Slackware Linux on both server

Hello listmates, I am wondering if there is a set of scripts/utilities for automatically starting and running headless (no X11) VM's using VirtualBox omn a CentOS 6 server. VNC/RDP access to the VM's would be fine. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.

Hello listmates, So, what's the story with CentOS 6? It is supposed to be out by now, or coming out soon, or so I heard - but yet there seems to be no mention of it at http://centos.org/ . Does anybody know what's up with that? Thanks. Boris.

The company where I work is mostly a Windows shop, but I run a few CentOS servers and desktops. I have configured my systems as follows with Kickstart: authconfig --enablemd5 --passalgo=sha512 --enablenis --nisdomain=XXX \ --nisserver=nis1.XXX.com,nis2.XXX.com --useshadow --enablekrb5 \ --krb5realm=XXX.COM --krb5kdc=ldap.XXX.com --krb5adminserver=ldap.XXX.com The /etc/nsswitch.conf file

FreeIPA is easy to set up, but it is quite a complex beast under the hood. I've had some nasty

Hello listmates, I can't find the 32 bit version of Centos 7. Would it be because I am not looking in the right place or does it not exist at all? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, I am running DHCPD for IPv4 on a Centos 5 machine. I am wondering if anyone has got a functional dhcpd.conf configuration serving static routes to Linux, Mac OS X and Windows clients. I tried a couple of variations of static-routes options - but have yet to create something that would work. Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, It appears that on the second machine in a row (CentOS 5.5, 32 bit) if I am trying to place a VM into a file located in XFS the machine just hangs (the host machine, not the VM). If I place the VM in a raw device or in a file in ext3 all seems to work perfectly. Is that just a coincidence or is there a reason for this madness? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, It's been a few years since I've set up a router... and for some reason I seem to be getting hung up on this one. Does anybody have a sample iptables config file that would incorporate NAT and forwarding for a simple router? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, Is there a good manual anywhere on how to boot a dual-boot Linux/Windows machine into Linux and launch the Windows as a XEN virtual machine? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, I have a machine that is running Centos 5.8. I am trying to install MediaWiki 1.19 on it and that requires PHP 5.3 which I got from the combination of the Remi and EPEL repositories. But now I can not fet a working PHP MySQL connector for it. Does anybody know where I can find one? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, If I have a regular, ACL-capable filesystem on Linux (say, ext4 or xfs) is there a way for me to establish the following: 1) There is a directory, say, /home/joe . It is owned by user joe . No one but joe (and root, of course) can read or write anything in this directory. 2) No one can change permissions on that directory, not even joe. In other words, in joe all of a sudden

Hello listmates, I would like to build a 12-15 TB RAID 5 data server to run under ContOS. Any recommendations as far as hardware, configuration, etc? Thanks. Boris.

Hello listmates, I have two seemingly identical (in this reglard, at least) machine - both of them are running CentOS 6.2 with bind (bind-chroot) installed. I used webmin to edit the DNS configuration. One one of them it seems to work fine, on the other I get messages akin to the following: Failed to create master zone : Failed to replace /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf with
