Hello! I have been successful using SYSLINUX and Etherboot to create a generic "PXE-on-a-disk" package, a floppy image and CD image that support as many Ethernet cards as possible. These have support for all of Etherboot's modules that support real PCI cards: about 25-or-so drivers and 250-or-so cards. I've built Etherboot ZLILO images, one for each driver, set up to boot

I keep getting this kind of stuff in /var/log/messages Jan 18 17:45:03 bulldog tripplite_usb[9979]: libusb_get_interrupt() returned -110 instead of 8 Should I be worried about it? upsc seems to work fine... I tried building the 2.0.5 but none of the included spec files seemed to work with opensuse 10.2 and adapting their 2.0.4 spec file didn't seem to work out well either. Building from

Hi, I've been using TrippLite's PowerAlert software with my RM2200XL2U rack system and my APC BackUPS desktop systems. Unfortunately it doesn't work with openSUSE 10.2 (the software has problems with the serial port and UPS interfaces on openSUSE 10.2), so I've been looking at other options. I see that openSUSE 10.2 includes NUT, and it appears to work with my TrippLite UPS via

Is user authentication ever needed for just querying variables? My cacti script seems to be cooked, and I'm just wondering if I need to mess with username/password stuff. Not hard but if it's not needed then why bother... Thanks -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/

After trying to get all the policy stuff nailed down I figured I'd save others the trouble, so I wrote up a primer and posted it on my site at http://www.ehsco.com/reading/20051031.html Hoepfully that will save others some trouble -- Eric A.

Hi! I'm preparing what should be a general "network boot" solution for the ones that needs to do network boot on PC without BIOS support / ROM chips. It supports both PXE (like pxelinux.0) and NBI images. I've prepared a precompiled multi-driver image that can autodetect and handle nearly 30 PCI and ISA NICs. My "remote boot kit" contains the same image in 4

I'm having some odd problems with USRMGR and Samba group accounts. USRMGR seems to work fine for user accounts, and it also correctly displays the list of group objects (these are all stored in LDAP btw). This can be seen in http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-main.gif Two of the groups can be managed while the other two cannot. For example, http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-admins.gif

Hello! ethersel.c32 does not seem to work with all PCs. I have prepared a floppy that uses ethersel.c32 to load a NIC-specific file (etherboot .zlilo image). See http://etherboot.anadex.de for details. It works with every NIC and every PC I own, but not with VMWare. I know VMWare has some problems, so that did not bother me at all and I published it anyway but I have received several e-mails

I'm currently using the suse ldapsmb utility for all the script operations, but I want to do some custom script work for creating user and machine accounts. For example, I want to manipulate the default object classes and directory placement for new machines--putting them into ou=Devices instead of ou=Users, and giving them the parent objectClasses of account and ipHost [for NIS and DHCP

I've gotten Samba+LDAP working on one network, and trust relationship established with a remote AD network. I've also got my samba groups as members of the AD groups (eg, Samba "users" is a member of AD "users", with the ACL stuff working as expected). Going the other direction seems somewhat non-obvious however. Somehow, I will need to include the winbind groups as

Curious what folks think the best choice of filesystem is, specifically when used for Samba and regular Unix users (SMB+NFS access). I'm using Reiser now but its slow and doesn't work good XP attributes. I've also used XFS (a couple of years ago) and liked it but had some troubles with cross-platform Unix and the extended ACLs. What's the preference today? Thanks -- Eric A.

Also been playing with the event logging stuff, and it's really nice in conjunction with the svcctl feature. It's kind of weird on implementation though. Couple of thoughts here. First, the eventlog daemon should have a command-line switch to read in single-line logfiles directly. Right now there is a three-stage conversion process where single-line text has to be converted to multi-line

I just moved a server to another machine, and everything seems to be working. But when I tried to browse the users and groups with the NT User Manager for Domains tool I got errors. This showed up in log.smbd: [2006/12/29 23:14:28, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(42) INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 6 in pid 23302 (3.0.23d-6-1083-SUSE-SL10.2) Please read the Trouble-Shooting section of the Samba3-HOWTO

I'm using samba-3.0.23d-19 on openSUSE 10.2 with an LDAP PDC arrangement I'm trying to sort out some problems with adding a trust relationship. Specifically, smbpasswd is failing when I try to create/modify the domain account. Further investigation shows that it is also failing to modify workstation accounts. However it is able to modify user accounts fine. The big difference here seems

Tying up lose ends, and adding the ethersel module for the Etherboot folks. -hpa Changes in 3.02: * SYSLINUX: The "unix" installer now sets the MS-DOS attributes (hidden, system, readonly.) * COM32 library: build the .lnx (test modules for running under Linux) as architecture native modules, in case i386 devel libraries aren't

I'm using PXE booting to make operating system installations. There is one problem with it - it won't work when BIOS or NIC doesn't support network booting. Is it possible to put pxelinux somehow on a CD or on a floppy? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org
