I am using Samba 3.0.20pre1 as a DC and I want to know if there is something similar to Deep Freeze www.faronics.com (except open source) for Linux. Deep Freeze automatically compares the software installation on a client machine to an image on a server. If the client machine differs, the client is automatically synced with the server. I want to achieve this with Samba and a linux tool if

Hi, Which FTP client would fit in nicely with OS X and Textmate. Thanks, Peter

hi list.. I am trying to add an ldif with my users that I have derived from /etc/passwd. for some reason ldapadd is choking on the first entry... I've also tried removing the first one and predictably each one fails in exactly the same way...may I ask how best to correct this? Here is the error: LDAP# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=summitnjhome,dc=com" -W -f /tmp/passwd.ldif adding

Platypus (http://sveinbjorn.sytes.net/platypus) is an application that takes a shell script and packages it as a clickable Mac OS X application. I would like to have a clickable application that executes the command "script/server" and displays the output in the text window, alongside with a "quit"-button that ends the server process. My shell script looks like this:

Hi all, I seem to be having some weird problems while trying to add a workstation to an existing domain. Samba 2.2.8a is running on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p17 and all the clients have Windows 2000 Professional with SP4 installed. This particular workstaion was part of the domain until its hard drive went under. The drive had to be replaced with a new one, the OS was installed and now when I try to

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

Greetings, Our environment consists of about 600 Redhat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5, and soon 6 servers. We use cfengine 2 currently, but plan on migrating to puppet. Right now, we have our root-owned cfengine client running every 15 minutes from cron contacting a single cfservd server. Additionally, our employees start their own cfengine and puppet instances on on some servers running under

Hello, I''ve recently begun looking at Puppet as an alternative to Cfengine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Besides the information posted on the Puppet website, are there any critical differences between Puppet and Cfengine? 2) Does Puppet allow for client-specific file text manipulation. For instance, in Cfengine I can add a line of text to a file if the line doesn''t

The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing??

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

Hi, All. I'd have a set of data in an array: process <- c( 5 , 7 , 4 , 1 , 4 , 1 , 4 , 1 , 4 , 4 , 1 , 5 , 4 , ...) and I'd like to know the number of transitions in this data. I calculate transitions as the number of times a number follows another number. thus, something like this would be a 1 deep transition: 1 --> 1 : 10% (and actual number of 1 --> 1 occurrences) 1

Hello there. Just to let you know i have just put in production mode puppet on 41 freeBSD 4.7 virtual servers (yes not real servers but "jailed ones"). I had some little problems with facter at first but i have manualy upgraded the servers that where affected by the little "facter does not read his facts" problem i had. I should have missed something in my deploiement.

Hi, all. I'm sure this is a simple question, but I'm having problems figuring it out myself... I have a table: > currenttable <- table(junk[-1],junk[-n]) > currenttable bar foo junk bar 2 2 0 foo 1 0 0 junk 0 0 1 and I'd like to know the result of the cell currenttable(bar,foo). what is the best way to get that result? thanks!

Is there an equivalent to cfrun in puppet. On the cfengine master you can do the command cfrun <hostname> which allows you to tell the cfengine client to run. This is useful for immediately pushing changes out immediately (or telling the client to pull). Chris

Hello fellow community members! I just joined you in order to find an information about how to start using Puppet... Currently we use cfengine for our legacy system containing several OS platforms, including physical and virtual servers. For fresh new hardware and OS versions we decided to go with Puppet due to it''s growing popularity (wow, 4082 members of this group only!).
