Hi, I need to maintain a same user/group list on multiples systems. Can we just copy the same passwd and groups file on all machines? If we create a new user on one system then I will need to copy this to all other systems. This is quite cumbersome. Any suggestions? - CS.

Howdy, I am having time-drift issues on my CentOS VM. I had referred to following documentation: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VMWare_Server , however it didn't help.

Howdy, I have a diff file in my /var/tmp and would like to apply patch to a file in a different directory (other than /va/tmp). I tried using patch with -d switch, but that doesn't work.

Hi, I am not sure how to configure LDAP authentication with samba. I have a windows box, which is part of Active Directory domain and does user authentication against it. I would like to use same user credentials and map them to a appropriate network drive (linux home dirs). In short, Linux user's home dir should be available on Windows box also. I looked at the smb.conf man page, but I

Hi, I have a autofs configured to mount home dir from NFS. All user accounts lookup is done using LDAP. All is working fine with this setup.

I am using autofs to mount user's home and group directories. The setup works fine for home directories which are mounted after user logs in. The group shares are also mounted, but user has to manually do cd or ls command on group shares, e.g.: ls /groups/chemistry will mount chemistry group share. Is there any way to mount group shares automatically? I noticed that after successful login

I have a kickstart file created that works great for installing CentOS on PVM''s and now I want to use it for HVM''s as well. The problem is that when I attempt to run the install, it seems to ignore the kickstart and starts prompting me for all the things I already have specified in the kickstart. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Here is the command im using to get things

Dear all, I am using R CMD SHLIB to compile a c++ code into a library (.so) and dyn.load to load this library into a R code. I am facing some problems in the c++ code that I can not figure out how to solve. Do you recomend any good way to debug this R + C++ program? If I was programming only in C++ I would use GDB. I would much appreciate any help or suggestion! Best regards, Charles -- Um

This is easy with Fedora, as the various 'common' repos are listed and all I have to do is change the URL.... Anyway, I am doing a netinstall of Centos 6.3 i386 from my local repo. I also have the updates repo. How can I add the updates repo so that I get it up to snuff right away (like I have been doing with Fedora for quite some time)? thanks.

Howdy, I am getting some errors with find and ls command - such that find is able to see a file whereas ls says the file doesn't exist. Initially I was trying find and ls together as: # find ./ -type f -mtime +15 | xargs ls Similar behavior is seen even when I execute both commands separately. Any thoughts on what might be wrong here? -- thanks, neubyr

Howdy, I have renamed a directory on NFS ver 3 server and then created a new directory again with the same name. # mv dir dir-hosed # mkdir dir The directory is auto-mounted on client side. I had unmounted directories on client side before making above changes. Now when I try to mount back 'dir', I still see old files and not new empty dir. Am I missing something here in the NFS config?

It looks like all of our RHEL 6 systems now need to connect to the RHN Optional Channel. (puppet, ruby vs. selinux deps) Is there a way to do that with a script without having to enter RHN userid and password? Is there a way to add a channel during kickstart?
