Hi, We have a virtual environment based on XenServer. In this environment I defined a template for CentOS 7 servers. I would like to start a script a boot time to complete the configuration of new VMs based on this template. How can I have a script started before any login prompt to ask question to the user to complete the configuration such as hostname, IP address, etc? Thanks, Bernard

How you could do this with scripts: *CentOS 7* 1. Deploy a VM from your base CentOS 7 template 2. Copy your "my-firstboot.sh" script (or whatever its called) to a location such as /root/scripts/ 1. This scripts only job should be to mount a NFS location and execute any post install scripts you have stored there, and provide a log file. 2. This script

It would be hard to use ansible, cfengine or whatever while there no IP address on the new VM.....

Hey folks, I have a problem with the definition of a variable of type slist in CFEngine on # uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release Linux policyhub.example.com 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 21:09:27 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) I'm not sure if its valid to ask CFEngine questions on this mailing list, but as far as I'm running on

Thank you, Louis, for your reply. By simply asking me to provide outputs of the aforementioned files, I found the cause of my first problem (auth failing). It was my /etc/hosts file on dc1. All of them should look like this, and indeed DC2 and DC3's *did* look like this: # cat /etc/hosts > 127.0.0.1 ? ? ? localhost.samdom.mycompany.net ?localhost > 192.168.3.201

Dear Experts, Sorry about taking shortcut and asking everybody... My question is: how do you avoid "firstboot" screen in latest CentOS 7.3 kickstart. I have installed about a dozen of CentOS 7 (none of which was 7.3) with that kickstart file. None of them ever went to firstboot screen on first boot. Now after kickstart installation of CentOS 7.3 it goes into firstboot screen showing

Hi all, I am working on building a new VoIP PBX. Looking at the current market for phones it seems my best "enterprise" options are the Cisco and Polycom phones. I have some experiance with the Cisco 7940G, but the process of flashing the phone with the SIP firmware left a bad taste in my mouth (not to mention the added expense for the phone). What is the general consensis about

I've been working on this problem for a few hours. Here are some updates: Many of the domains I listed are duplicates of domains managed by other DNS servers on my network. There was no point in having them in Samba AD, so I deleted the zones in Windows DNS Manager and created slaves in my named.conf.local folder, so that they'd pull the records from my authoritative BIND DNS server,

Hi After a kickstart install how do you get a yum update to run as the final stage of the install? a 'yum update' in the %post does not seem to do anything at all - no errors just nothing? thanks

Hello Samba Friends, I have a single DC (we'll call it, "DC1") that simply will not take my password when I run this command:? #samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://dc2 ldap://dc3 -Uadministrator? Or this command:? #samba-tool ldapcmp ldap://dc1 ldap://dc2 -Uadministrator? I basically get this:? > Password for [SAMDOM\administrator]:? > Password for [SAMDOM\administrator]:?

Anyone ever implimented cfengine on 4.x ? I am just looking for background and if there are any traps to fall into? thanks

Hi, I'm trying to set up NFSv4 on two boxes (centos 5.5) and have it authenticate against our Windows 2008R2 AD server acting as the KDC. (samba/winbind is running ok with "idmap config MYCOMPANY: backend = rid" so we have identical ids across the servers.) I can mount my test directory fine via NFSv4 *without* the sec=krb5 option. However, once I put the sec=krb5 option in,

I am having problems getting dns to function correctly with Ubuntu 14.04LTS.

Hey folks, A week or two ago someone mentioned something about using their own home-grown RPMs for managing config info on their boxes. I really like this idea and would like to learn more about it. Are there some examples out there? I have lots of custom config info and think this would be an ideal way to manage it. Others mentioned puppet and CF engine which probably have their merits as

Right now, I have all of my Samba stuff under ou=corp,dc=mycompany,dc=com. I have it this way because there used to also be ou=furn,dc=mycompany,dc=com with a different domain. Now that I only have one domain, I would like to move everything to dc=mycompany,dc=com. So I copy all of the subentries of ou=corp (ou=computers, ou=people, ou=grooups, and the sambaDomainName entries) to
