http://saltstack.org/ http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective/ I found this link that talks about Func, Rundeck, Salt and mcollective, but it doesn''t really compare and contrast. http://www.coloandcloud.com/editorial/func-mcollective-salt-and-rundeck/(From a 10,000 overview Saltstack and mcollective look very similar.

Ansible, Bcfg2, Chef, Cobbler, Puppet, and Salt; I notice that Spacewalk is not mentioned. Any particular reason that it gets no recommendations? What about CFEngine? Any comments on this one? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B. Byrne mailto:ByrneJB at Harte-Lyne.ca Harte & Lyne Limited http://www.harte-lyne.ca 9 Brockley Drive

I've had that happen in the past with non-RedHat linux boxes. Fortunately we have Saltstack on all the boxes and can just salt '*' cmd.run 'killall -SIGKILL winbindd; service winbind restart' But it hangs SSH sessions and things like 'ls -lha' that need to resolve usernames and groups. i.e. if you removed winbind from /etc/nsswitch.conf it would stop happening. The

Hi everyone, I have a question about certificates generated on Samba AD/DC deployment. After all server configuration, I notice that there are ca.pem, cert.pem and key.pem on /usr/local/samba/private/tls directory. I realize the ca.pem and cert.pem have 2 years validity. Will Samba AD/DC generate automatically new certs before this time over? Or, must I have to generate them manually? -- Igor

Hello, I have recently setup mailserver solution using 2-node master-master setup (mainly based on MySQL M-M replication and GlusterFS with 2 replica volume) on Ubuntu 14.04 (Dovecot 2.2.9). Unfortunately even with shared-storage-aware setting: mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_fsync = always mmap_disable = yes ..I have hit strange issues pretty soon especially when user was

I am sorry. I am not sure if the mail a send before to this list was rejected because of header (subject). I've changed it. The first maybe was not appropriate. I did a function (sec_conop) whose arguments are syndic, well and wellconop. sec_conop(syndic='01syndic.txt',well='well-1.csv',wellconop='well-1.dat');closeAllConnections() This function takes “well” and

We ran a load test using glusterfs and were able to deliver mail (I can't remember specifically how much per second, maybe 100 messages per second?) without any issues. We did use the glusterfs fuse client and not nfs, and used regular maildir. We developed a mail bot cluster that would deliver mail, and simultaneously receive and delete it with pop and IMAP and we ran into zero issues. We

Hi, we see a growing need for a better Configuration management for our servers. Are there any known good resources for a comparison of e.g. Puppet, Chef, Ansible etc? What would you suggest and why? :) Thanks and Regards . G?tz

If you just want to use kickstart, it would be pretty simple to serve these via HTTP, and have a simple script in PHP or similar that

Tom: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into those tools. Mark: Yes, they are using pxeboot. Right now when they boot up, the pxe config offers two options, 32- and 64bit. Are you suggesting I create multiple entries that one selects based on what the machine is going to be? Is there a way to have this done automatically so I don't have to physically have to do that for each machine,

Gotcha. Thanks all! You guys gave me the answers I needed to know and hear. For the immediate futre I will likely go with multiple pxeboot options which then picks the specific kickstart file. It's easy for me to put a label on the server that says 'web' or 'mail' etc. Then just pick the same from the menu. Eventually I'll delve deeper into custom and automated setups. On

I'm currently using kickstart for installing new servers and have run into the following scenario: all the machines will have the same basic setup of packages, however they will each be configured for a specific task. For example, some will be mail-serving machines and won't need things like a web or mySQL server installed. Others will be web servers and do need those packages. So my
