similar to: 5.0: installing everything

Hello, all - I've been throwing the question around on the kickstart-list for the last few days here, and can't quite get ahold of things. Please, allow me to explain. I am in the process of making a custom CentOS/RHEL kickstart install. It works well right now; however, it's a hackjob, and I am not comfortable with it as of yet. For the past few days, I've even gone as far as

I could use some input to point out the error in my configuration, which eludes me. Previously I operated a 225-node cluster with samba 4.3 and sssd on the Linux boxes. Everything worked OK. Now I am using samba 4.11.6 on CentOS 7.7, patched up to date. The DC, on a KVM VM, is the only node configured so far. I am using winbind in place of sssd (my first experience with winbind). BIND9_DLZ

Hi, Has any one know how to skip ix86 packages from installation in Centos kickstart? Most of our machines have 64bit Intel/AMD CPUs, and it make non-sense to still keep 32bit compatibility. Even worse of i*86 packages is, when upgrade we have to recompile both ix86 version and x86_64 version to get an automatic yum upgrade. I know we could use 'exclude' option to exclude i*86 packages

This idea is intruiging... Suppose one has a set of file servers called A, B, C, D, and so forth, all running CentOS 6.5 64-bit, all being interconnected with 10GbE. These file servers can be divided into identical pairs, so A is the same configuration (diks, processors, etc) as B, C the same as D, and so forth (because this is what I have; there are ten servers in all). Each file server has

hello there, I wonder if you could help me: I am trying to install 50 diskless servers using PXE / kickstart, it all starts well, DHCP server issues a dynamic address, tftp issues the kickstart file, the client starts reading the KS file but at some point anaconda brings up an unhandled exception related to Python when reading Comps.xml?? What is really unsettling is the fact that if I plug

Hi I am having real trouble with a new batch of Intel NIC's - We were using another type of 10gig card and they were fine but got EOL'd from Intel and are now using something subtly different. I dont have all the details yet on the issue but basically there is a major delay in when the link comes up and this is causing major issues with PXE amongst other things. The log states this Nov

Hi All, I've been growing a large headache on this one, i have a number of LDAP servers behind loadbalancing, since 2 days i constantly get the error: Too many open files.

A CentOS 6.3 box ("host") runs several KVM virtual machines, each of which has two interfaces attached to the two bridges br1 and br2 (and each thus has two IP's; one on 192.168.0.0/22 and one on 192.168.4.0/22); net.ipv4.ip_forward on the host is 1. Simplified diagram: host +---------------+ |

New samba deployment; samba 3.0.24 w/ldapsam, em64t (Dell 2900), CentOS 4.4, using nss_ldap with LDAP master and two slaves (OpenLDAP 2.3.32), one Samba PDC (on LDAP master) and two Samba BDC's (on each of the LDAP slaves); no Windows servers; one Linux domain member server (first of several). All four Samba servers use the same LDAP parameters. testparm checks out. All accounts are in

CentOS, RHEL, all versions. Suppose I am upgrading a package foo-1.0 to foo-2.0 (assume foo is not relocatable), and both packages have %preun sections in their .spec files. It appears that foo-1.0's %preun is run after foo-2.0 has been installed. So what happens if foo-1.0 needs to run a binary that was provided as part of foo-1.0 during its %preun stage, and a binary of the same name is

Hi I have configured a machine to authenticate against LDAP. When I log onto the box using the newly created user I see a LDAP search request for every user that exist in the directory. If I have only 20 users even a 100 that is not a problem but when I start going to 10000 users I start getting some weird errors and timeouts because of the time it takes to download the data to the client. I

Samba 4.1.16, Centos 6.6 x86-64, BIND_DLZ 9.9. I have three AD DC's that were functioning normally. However, today I restarted BIND on one node, and it failed to start with this message in the log (names changed): May 10 07:02:49 benford named[6767]: Loading 'AD DNS Zone' using driver dlopen May 10 07:02:49 benford named[6767]: samba_dlz: started for DN DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com May

OK, I had this working a few days ago, but have evidently changed something that I cannot locate. Someone hit me with their 2x4. Samba 3.0.22, Fedora Core 4, ldapsam (OpenLDAP 2.3.24). smbd will not start, with the "ERROR: failed to setup guest info" error (I have "guest account = guest", which is a valid user with correct info in LDAP): ldap_connect_system: Binding to ldap

Roland, Thank you very much for your attention to this. You should get a medal for all the help you give everyone on this list. On Sun, 10 May 2015, Rowland Penny wrote: > Why ? And why don't they show up when you ask for the zones with samba-tool ? I have that many subnets. As for why they don't show up: they are defined in BIND's configuration and not samba's; they never

Hi, we''re contemplating getting a large new server, where we will run a number of virtual servers. Are there any things we need to keep in mind in that case? Are there limitations on what a Xen system can manage? We''re talking about a 4 x Quad core CPU server with 64 GBs of RAM and a couple of terabytes of RAIDed SATA storage. -Morten (Re-sending this, as the first message

CentOS 5.7 x86_64. Lots of hosts NFS mounting a file system. All are configured identically (same LDAP servers, same DNS, same autofs config, same patches, etc). On some of them I see an NFS mount displaying a host name: % df -P | grep smt <hostname>:/mnt/foo 1651345888 264620688 1386725200 17% /fs/home/smt and on some just the IP address: % df -P | grep smt aa.bb.cc.dd:/mnt/foo

Short story: cannot get Kerberized NFSv4 to work. I've googled a great deal and cannot find where I have goofed (and there sure is a lot of misleading and just plain incorrect information out there), so would appreciate another pair of eyes. NFSv4 without Kerberos does work fine, as does ID mapping. We're using NFSv4 in production with sec=sys, but I'm not happy with that. My
