similar to: [PATCH node-image] Expanded the size of the livecd image.

This patch goes with the node patch just sent, and is ready for pushing upstream. I'll be doing the blacklisting in a later patch once this is upstream.

This patch removes the attempt at setting nodeadmin to be root's shell.

The company where I work is mostly a Windows shop, but I run a few CentOS servers and desktops. I have configured my systems as follows with Kickstart: authconfig --enablemd5 --passalgo=sha512 --enablenis --nisdomain=XXX \ --nisserver=nis1.XXX.com,nis2.XXX.com --useshadow --enablekrb5 \ --krb5realm=XXX.COM --krb5kdc=ldap.XXX.com --krb5adminserver=ldap.XXX.com The /etc/nsswitch.conf file

I've updated my kickstart configuration files to work with CentOS 6 and am most of the way there integrating a CentOS 6 system into our LDAP/NIS environment. My authconfig line in the kickstart file is as follows: authconfig --enablemd5 --passalgo=sha512 --enablenis --nisdomain=XXX --nisserver=nis.XXX.com --useshadow --enablekrb5 --krb5realm=XXX.COM --krb5kdc=ldap.XXX.com

We currently use a combination of Kerberos and NIS to manage users on our CentOS 6 systems in a Windows AD environment. NIS is provided by Windows Services for UNIX (or something named similarly), which has some issues, and is also not going to be supported by Microsoft in the future. NIS supplies the passed file as well as the auto mount map for home directories as shown by this excerpt from

The following patches introduce support for multipath and cciss devices to the ovirt-node and node-image. Comments are appreciated. These patches assume that the 3 patches (2 node, 1 node-image) from Joey are all incorporated. Mike

When I use my kickstart file (which works on 5.1 x86_64) with 5.2 I get the following error. I put my kickstart file at the end. Do I have something incomaptible in the file? jerry -------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/network.py", line 341, in lookupHostname ret = isys.pumpNetDevice(dev.get('device'),

I've previously used includes in CentOS 4.4 and they worked fine. But in CentOS 5.5, trying to specify a driver disk via an include does not work. If I instead specify it directly, it loads fine. When it fails (because it can't see the disk drive - needs the driver disk to see the hard disk), in Console 2 I can see that /tmp/drvdisk exists and has the line I wrote to it. I see nothing

Hi, all. I'm trying to customize a CentOS installation cd, but got trouble with kickstart. I want to use dialog[1] for command line based user interface, but it can't display correctly in kickstart with CentOS 5.5. Same ks file works with CentOS 5.3 (both i386 and x86_64). What's the different between CentOS 5.3/5.5? I can't find it in release notes. And how can i fix it? Thanks

I have read many Centos webpages and mail archives but found only raw descriptions of the build process. My first aim is to rebuild CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveCD.iso using the Centos repositories and preferably without recompiling the SRPMs, just to verify the build process. My final aim is to create a Centos LiveOS contain the packages in CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso plus some network configuration

Hi, We are using PXELinux 1.75, ISC DHCP 3.0pl1 and atftp-0.6 to deploy RH 7.3 across a number of Dell Rackmount systems.

Hi, all. I use this kickstart file to install CentOS 5.2 (both i386 and x86_64), but i can't config NICs and hostname during installation, what's wrong with it?

Hi, I'm facing a problem with setting up LDAP+TLS client authentication in a kickstart script on CentOS7 for several days. Setting up manualy the config with system-config-authentication works but I need to automate this in kickstart for deploying cluster nodes. This show that the server side is running fine. At this time the message is #systemctl status sssd |....

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

I know single user mode works but my case it in remote site. Thanks, Jegadeesh

I am trying to update a computer from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 6. My plan is to do this using PXE and a kickstart file. I am implementing the use of an FTP and DHCP server. The computers I am updating are diskless workstations, meaning they have no hard drives and they boot off of the network. I have configured my dhcp.conf file, my ks.cfg (kickstart file), my tftp server and so on, but

Hello all, I've been struggling with an issue with my kickstart configuration for a while now. My kickstart files are stored within the initrd image. What I would like to do here, is when the kickstart first starts up, I want it to grab a DHCP address (it does at the moment) so it can grab all of the necessary installation data off the net. Then, at some point _IN_ the install process, I'd
