Hi, I run a Centos 5.8 samba server which uses a separate LDAP centos 6.3 server for user and group authentication. Now we migrate to a new centos 6.3 samba server and I'd like to know how do 'ldapify' that new server the best way. I'm a bit confused if I can use the same nss setup like on the current old server or how and what to configure to go with SSSD? May be someone can

Hi guys, any CUPS / Samba experts out there? The CUPS printing guide is a horrendous maze of options. I've got nearly there but I've got one thing wrong and I don't know where to look. I set up our two printers (HP K5400s) using the GUI printer tool. Both print the test page just fine. I set up the [printers] and [print$] shares and can browse to the printers from Windows (XP for me)

Hi, any one has successfully joined a Windows 7 workstation to a samba (3.0.33) domain on CentOS 5.8? I am wondering if I need to install a newer version (from sernet by example) or if I can keep the old one and try harder... Thx, JD

I'd like to run a CLI broadband speed tester on my CentOS server. I downloaded "tespeed" from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/tespeed/>. This ran fine under Fedora-19, but failed under CentOS with the message "# reject large message", although from a quick look at the source it did not seem to be using a large test-file. Does anyone know of an alternative CLI

Hi all, I issued the commands on a single disk system: with two partitions / is linux sda1 and /home is sda3 yum -y update yum -y install e4fsprogs reboot umount /home tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sda3 e2fsck -yfDC0 /dev/sda3 That worked just fine. I then had a different system that is software raid. where / is linux and md0 and /home is md1 yum -y update yum -y

So, the more I look at various ways to lay out my infrastructure, the more I am thinking about specs for hardware. Starting with firewalling. How does one determine the specs for a firewall? What I mean is: 1. motherboard/CPU - p4? Dual-Core? Intel i3, i5, i7? 2. RAM? 4gb? 8gb? More? 32gb? 3. Obviously GB Nics! I am bring about 300gb of traffic a month right now and I expect that to

Though I've worked with enterprise systems, I'm not familiar with FOOS backup software. Which of those recommended would allow me to backup a system while users are active on it? If it matters the system uses LVM. I'd also like to be able to avoid needing the network if possible. That is, I'd plug in a disk into a USB port and backup the system onto that... again, while

Hi all.

I am having trouble mounting drives. We have a Windows 2008 (10.1.1.17, MRISRV02) server with folders I what access to. On my Fedora 8 client, in my fstab file, I have: //10.1.1.17/USERS/Jeff /home/mriuser/Desktop/jeff cifs rw,username=cluster,password=mrilab 0 0 and this works just fine. My samba is up to date: [mriuser at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep "samba"

I'm running a headless server, so no GUI, just ssh logins. I don't seem to have the mechanism that automounts USB drives to a subdirectory of /media, and from googling around I think that's a feature of a GUI-based system. What implements it? Right now I manually create a mountpoint in /mnt and then manually mount by label from /dev/disk/by-label after plugging the drive in. It

Hi All, We have a problem, which is that several of our users are local admins on their own workstations. We'd like to let them retain these rights, but we're switching to a PDC. Is there a way to have them authenticate to the domain, and as a regular user, but on the Windows workstation have full control? What's the best solution for this? I obviously don't want to make them

Hello, I have a GridEngine setup with 5 subnodes and two RAIDS attached. I backed up the OS drive - 120GB - to an external hard drive - 500GB - using ddrescue. The OS drive is partitioned as: sda1 has the OS and is about 7 GB sda2 has /var and is about 4 GB sda3 has swap and is about 1 GB After backing up, there were 4KB of errors, but all at the end of the disk around 118GB. This used to be

Hello Everyone, First time CentOS poster :) I have CentOS 4 installed on the head node of a Sun Gridengine cluster set up in a RAID. The head node has four hard drives, and I assume that drives 1 and 2 are in a raid and then drives 3 and 4 are in another raid. I was trying to expand the OS partition on drive 1 because it was full. I took drive 1 out, put it in my Fedora 8 box as a secondary

Hello, For not too regular users of R, preparing the data is somehow a burden. Comming from iMacro in FireFox I get a badly designed csv, which I need to put into a daily R script.

Greetings! After successfully setting up the printer using my RedHat Linux 7.2 (using command-line interface), and after installing my ethernet card (again, using command-line interface), I've tried to setup my linux server to share the printer with Windows-based machines. I thought I pretty much did everything right, but when I type a "smbstatus", I get the following: >Samba

Hello, Collecting data I need to check in a mysql server. As the data are dependent on each other I have to filter first. However, I have now the problem that I find a value and would like to insert it into a data query for the "real select" command. Obviously, typing 'x' does not help as the database does not now this entry. Anyway to make it work? I am using RMYQL Thanks!
