similar to: Fwd: Linux, Windows AD domain, and IDs

I have a Windows 200x AD Server and have a Linux box as a client connected to the Windows domain having modified the native Kerberos, smb.conf, and other files (not using Likewise). It logs in to the domain fine and everything is happy. There are NO local accounts in /etc/passwd except for the defaults out of the box. Authentication relies on the accounts of the Windows server. I have no

I have some CentOS 5 systems that are part of an Active Directory Windows 2003 domain (using natively configured files - not likewise open). getent passwd my_account reveals uid and gid are both 10000:10000. Thus, typing: % id reveals a uid of 10000. /etc/passwd does NOT have my local account created - credentials are strictly from the Active Directory domain. The username is of the format

I have a 10 blade cluster of just hardware - I can install what I want, how I want. ? What options are there if I wanted to build the 10 blades as one large beast, but _NOT_ necessarily for someone doing grid-type work? ? ?Some users don't now how to program that way, but they'd like to have their program run on something that acts like a single processor, but a massive single processor

Hello to all: I know this list is generally Linux-only, but I figured I'd try to gain wisdom from those with hard-core Windows needs, too. I was recently pricing out a high-end desktop system for a user who will doing a lot of CAD, Matlab, SolidWorks, and other apps that will utilize a lot of number crunching and video. The quote for the desktop (64-bit Vista is likely), which included 12

I have CentOS 5 installed on a few Dell PE2950 systems. ? ?The SMART daemon claims the drives included with the server do not support SMART, which rather surprised me. What, then, are my options for monitoring the health of the server hard drives? ?It would be nice to have some service running I could email to myself on the status of each drive. Thanks. Scott

I've built some CentOS 5.5 64-bit systems straight off the DVD, full installs, and the Gnome screen lock (manually invoked or automatically via the gnome-screensaver) does not allow the user to unlock the screen. The only fix appears to be ctrl-alt-F<1 - 5> then have the user log into the tty session, type pkill -f gnome-screensaver, log out, then ctrl-alt-f7 to return to X. These

Anyone have experience playing back a Webex wrf file on their CentOS 5.x system? I have a newly installed CentOS 5.4 i386 system and want to play such a file, but the Webex.com web site says it only supports Windows and MacOS for playback. Any other options next to creating a VM of Windows (I'm not buying a Mac for this). Thanks. Scott

Many people have wondered what my rsync syntax was - [as root]: rsync -av /path/to/source me at remote-host:/path/to/dest I'll be adjusting it to adapt to perform incrementals, probably with --update. So, just need to learn why some of the .dotfiles, and other unknown files (unless I ran a diff) didn't successfully copy over. Thanks.

I have a CentOS 5.5 system that is dual-boot CentOS 5.5 and Windows XP w/SP3 formatted with NTFS (for the Windows partition, of course). I have installed fuse (ntfs-3g) to allow read/write access to the NTFS partition from CentOS. No regular user has sudo. What is the best way to limit the access a user logging into the CentOS from mangling or changing data in unwanted areas of the

I've been trying to follow samba, centos, ldap, and other documentation to try and get a CentOS 5 box to permit a user to log into an existing Windows 200x Active Directory domain without necessarily having the box as part of the domain. If it has to be part of the domain, that is fine. The user shall have no local account on the box - I want their active directory account to

I have been tasked with having a Buffalo Terastation Pro 2 NAS box, likely to be connected to a Linux box via samba, be the storage device to back up mostly Ubuntu and Centos systems. ?The trick is, the machines to be backed up need to do so in an automated fashion and make a secure, encrypted connection to my Linux box hosting the NAS. The NAS does have SSL enabled for web admin access, though

There is a lot of talk about the vulnerable Linux kernel. I'm simply wondering the telltale signs if a given system has been hacked? What, specifically, does a person look for? Thanks. Scott

Hi the list (again) Got a pretty major issue now Did the samba link to AD on a couple of redhat es3 servers using samba 3.0.14a Everything seems ok Except when I do a getent passwd username Server 3 getent passwd ross ross:x:10006:10000:ross:/home/ACADEMIC/ross:/bin/false Server 2 getent passwd ross ross:x:10006:10000:ross:/home/ACADEMIC/ross:/bin/false Server 1 getent passwd ross

Having snapshot technology is great. Who else supports it? Thanks. Scott

Yes, I know it is old, but I'm looking for a copy of CentOS 3.5 - CDs or DVD for i386. I can only find 3.8. Thanks for any leads. Scott

I have a client with a handful of USB drives connected to a CentOS box. I am charged with binding the USB drives together into a single LVM for a cheap storage data pool (10 x 1 TB usb drives = 10 TB cheap storage in a single mount point). The next fun piece is how to incorporate that storage space into an existing Active Directory structure to apply AD acls for limited access. I'd rather

On an ext3 filesystem, what would cause the system to claim it is out of disk space for a program writing information to disk, when df -h shows ample GB available and the file is being written to local disk rather than an nfs-mounted filesystem? I believe the hard drive is good. Ideas welcome. Thanks. Scott
