Hello, I'm considering moving our windows shares (2003 domain) to a samba server, to improve performance, setup clustering and use scheduled lvm snapshots. However, I've not clarified how our current security policy would be applied on this server and like to ask you some things (sorry, I'm sure they already have been posted but there is so much on this topic to read I prefer to ask

Hello, While working on heartbeat/pacemaker for a web service stored on drbd, I've thought what I've learnt could also be applied to samba in order to build a fault tolerant file server in our domain. While digging samba's doc, I've found that CTDB could also fulfill the need and is maybe better suited as it's samba-related. But on the other hand, I'd appreciate to begin

Hello, I installed CentOS 4.4 (for the first time) around a month ago (minimal install) and I just typed "yum update". I was surprised to see a big list of updates and feared an upgrade to centos 4.5 or 5.0 so I stopped the process with CTRL+C. What could I do to check everything is ok and stay with CentOS release 4.4 ? Thanks in advance, -- Mikael Kermorgant PS : here's a

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

Hello: I'm trying to set up a small domain on my home network. ?The goal is to have a domain member server connect to my samba PDC using winbind for authentication against a tdbsam database. ?I've tried reading the official howto, and a few help sites, but I'm still having difficulty accomplishing my goal. ?I'm using Samba 3.3.2 on Fedora 11 for both computers. On the DMS,

Hi I have a problem with Windows Server Ent (and Std) 2008 x64 running on IBM Blade Center. I can add it to the Samba domain but when I restart it, it comes to "Applying computer settings..." and if I connect with rdesktop I can see a screen saying "Please wait for the group policy client" and after some minutes it restarts. I can boot it in Safe mode, remove from domain

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

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

Just some background: In our environment, we are running both a PDC and BDC. The local network setup has static ips on a different subnet from dhcp ips, thus the PDC has a static ip and the BDC has a dynamic one so the Windows machines are able to see the domain without hardcoding in the ip of the PDC as a wins on each machine. This has worked fine for Windows XP. We are also using ldap as the

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

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??

I know this is a basically meaningless milestone, but for some reason it means something to me. For the first time (as far as I know), #puppet on irc.freenode.net has more users than #cfengine: 21 vs. 19. Admittedly, that''s a low user count for #cfengine, but I''ll take it. :) -- Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or

Is this ever going to happen? Or am I waiting in vain?

Hello, we run approximately 400 Centos servers at our company. We use cfengine for configuration management. I am looking for some documentation to do patching including kernel patches. I was thinking of just having each host run yum update via cfengine but not sure if there are any gotchas there? Should I just do yum update? or should i exclude the kernel and be more careful with those? how
