similar to: NFS/NIS and firewalls

I've got a RHEL5 server acting as a NIS/NFS server, and connected one C5 machine just fine. I'm trying to connect another, and for the life of me, cannot figure out why NIS won't bind. NFS works fine. ypbind just hangs. I disabled SELinux and the firewall. I just cannot get it to bind. Ideas? Thanks. Scott

I seem to have this very odd issue with CentOS 6 WRT NIS. I have taken the package selection that I used with CentOS 5 and basically plopped it into my C6 kickstart file (see below). On C5 this works just fine and I'm able to log in with NIS credentials just fine. However, it looks like on C6 if you use a package selection like this, you also need to specify the yp-tools package as part of

Hi How can we use NIS to control a user in different servers? eg: serverA /home/userA/javaapplication serverB /export/home/userA/javaapplication serverC /vol/home/javaapplication Thank you

Does winbind play well with NIS (or vice versa)? In my initial test, it doesn't seem that a machine that is running winbind will serve the user list over NIS to NIS clients. [ w2k3/ads ] --winbind--> [ Server 1 ] --NIS--> [ Server 2 ] I'd like to be able to authenticate connections (ssh/login) to Server 2 using the same logins as on Server 1 (samba) and the

is there a list more sutiable for c5-testing discussions? I'd like to install the php-5.2.9 on there, but I'm getting a dependency problem # yum update --enablerepo=c5-testing php Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net * base: updates.interworx.info * updates: mirrors.cmich.edu * addons: mirror.stanford.edu *

I'm trying to do something slightly silly; rather than having a C5 machine and a C6 machine around for compiling and testing, I want to create a C5 chroot area. Something similar to "mock" but using lvm snapshots and some local config specific stuff. (Potentially even using Linux Containers to enter the chroot environment). So I thought I'd build out the chroot... % cat

hello, the last 3 times I installed C5, the MBR was unchanged and nothing was written into /boot/grub except splash.xbm.gz there were no stage* files, nor a menu.lst I know how to fix that. Would I have better luck using a partition mounted as /boot? Anyone succeded with Grub that way? I prefer not having to do surgery to get C5 to boot :) -- Mark New Packages for C5 ---------

I need a decent, easy, firewall on Centos. This is for test systems, so I do not need a lot. For 'a lot', I use and Astaro firewall. I had used Firestarter once, but found out that it cannot handle routing between a public and private network. Basically saying this is impossible. Of course, if your private network is addressed per RFC 1918 (that I co-authored), I can understand

hello, I'm going to try this question again. The first time I botched it and the answers I got were useless. I want to use rpmdevtools to help with some packaging chores. There is no C5 version that I can find. I've located an SRC RPM in a location that is known to be C5 compatible. There are 2 versions of rpmdevtools:

Hello all. You might understand by now that I''m experimenting with shorewall on my FC3 (kinda) system. It''s a two interfaced system, with the internet on eth0, net, and the local network on eth1, loc. the machine fw runs shorewall 2.0.10 right now. The thing is that I want to try to use NIS/YP on the local machines and have fw run the ypserv. Furthermore, I''d like

Hi All Some background first I have been asked to set up an environment involving three machines 1. A windows 2000 client 2. A Solaris 8 E450 / NIS client 3. An SGI IRIX fileserver/ NIS server holding user home directories The E450 NFS mounts the SGI and users have their home directories on the SGI. When users want to test their application software they ssh from their windows client into

For the 2 threads going on about PHP 5.2/5.3... CentOS tracks upstream whose version is... php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 If you want something newer, you have to go off the beaten path. try this...(as root) wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/CentOS-Testing.repo mv CentOS-Testing.repo /etc/yum.repos.d yum --enablerepo=c5-testing check-update and this would allow to update to version 5.2.9-2.el5.centos

Dear all, will there be a fastrack channel for C5? What are the problems inventing one? Thx Rainer

I have RHEL5 Server originally configured and installed by me with Firewall enabled, but passing through NFS, Samba, and SSH. I then disabled SELinux. As you all likely recall, I had configured a test environment to get samba and nfs/nis up and running. I got it going, and recently brought it to a production server. After modifying the files on the production server and rebooting, I'm

In the documentation, it says that add/remove software is use only to install from CD drive[1]. However this program refuse to run when no internet connection, why not just prompt for the installation media? assuming everybody has fast internet connection was too optimistic. 1. So what is the correct way to install/remove software after the installation (using GUI)? 2. In
