Nice job Phil :)

/remembering my disclaimer/ I'm not a raid/grub expert...

Presumably Section two is required because grub is installed to the mbr 
of /dev/sda so /dev/sdb isn't bootable in the event /dev/sda should fail?

Would using grub be simpler rather than directly editing 
/boot/grub/device.map ? Something like...

Following on from Section 1, reboot...

Stop at the grub menu and enter the c option, which gives you the grub
prompt. Then:

grub device (hd0) /dev/sda
grub root (hd0,0)
grub setup (hd0)
grub device (hd1) /dev/sdb
grub root (hd1,0)
grub setup (hd1)
grub exit

and test both disks are bootable. Achieves the same thing I guess.

Yes, but it won't hurt and makes the method robust for recovering from a

Yes, but having both doesn't seem to hurt either.  Decided your method 
was the best and put it as Method 1 in the latest edit, with the other 
as Method 2.  I'm not adverse to going with only method 1 but am prone

  There's always going to be an argument about whether to put /boot and swap 
on RAID.  It's all about performance most of the time being slightly better 
versus stability in the event of device failure.

  What's the disaster recovery plan here?

  Obviously, if the second drive fails, there's no issue.  Standard removal 
and eventual addition of replacement device(s).

  If the first drive fails, are we hoping the computer will boot off the 
second drive or are we moving the second drive to the first interface?

  Is it outside the scope of this document to describe and test disaster 
recovery?  I think it is.  I'm just making a note to suggest a further 
complimentary page at some time in the future...  (though, at this time, I 
am NOT volunteering to write it)  Is there a wiki page todo list somewhere?

   There's always going to be an argument about whether to put /boot and swap 
 on RAID.  It's all about performance most of the time being slightly better 
 versus stability in the event of device failure.

I can't think of a good argument for not having /boot on the raid1. 
Presumably performance isn't an issue as the contents of /boot gets read 
once at system boot (other than maybe fast booting performance, but 
that's not really going to be an issue for a server running raid1, right?)

SWAP on raid0 is a bad idea as one drive failure may cause the system to 
fail to boot. I guess SWAP on raid1 is the safe option. If SWAP 
performance is critical, then maybe two independent non-raid partitions, 
one at the start of each drive, and set to the same priority would be a 
better solution (effectively giving stripped raid0 performance). 
Presumably then a drive failure wouldn't prevent booting but would 
result in a warning that one of the SWAPs was unavailable (assuming the 
system could function fine with the size of the remaining SWAP)?

Hopefully someone can verify my logic here.

If grub is present on the mbr of both drives, then the system will 
remain functional if *either* drive fails without any further 
intervention. I would think this is the ideal.

 recovery?  I think it is.  I'm just making a note to suggest a further

I would be in favour of extending the current page to include 
testing/recovery information in the event of a drive failure. If the 
information is not specific to only raid1, then maybe a separate page is 
warranted.

Re: [CentOS-docs] New page on installing to software RAID

 That sounds like a good idea, and more general than the 
 recently-suggested RAID section.  How about Storage devices, Logical 
 Volume Management, and RAID?

Seeing no objection, I created the above category on the HowTos page and 
added a link to the new article under it.  This will also presumably 
provide a home for the EdHeron RAID article.

Thanks to all for the help on the article.

[CentOS-docs] Updated How to Setup a Software RAID on CentOS 5

2009-04-29 Thread R P Herrold
On Wed, 29 Apr 2009, Ned Slider wrote:

   There's always going to be an argument about whether to put /boot and swap
 on RAID.  It's all about performance most of the time being slightly better
 versus stability in the event of device failure.

 I can't think of a good argument for not having /boot on the raid1.

Then you do not support it, and see the recurring support load 
in #centos -- we get this load all the time.  It is from 
clueless newbies, barely able to communicate, with unknown 
controllers.  Putting /boot on raid adds complexity, it 
breaks, and it is needless in most cases.

I'd rather have a discussion of setting up TWO /boot ext2 
(ext3 unneeded), on differing spindles, and a discussion of 
rsyncing the second when the first is updated; and a grub.conf 
description to match --

Why I'd even argue for a mount of /boot RO, and require that a 
remount occur before a kernel update happened [but that's just 
me] -- one more barrier to keep cracker out of root only 
domains

The 'second non-raid' bootable image was the standard back in 
the early Solaris days -- two '/' that one so updated, and the 
ability to use OpenFirmware to toggle in the alternate boot 
device.

Russ,

That's pretty much what the article started with if you follow the long 
history of the first thread on the contribution, but the consensus of 
the people who commented was overwhelmingly in favor of /boot on RAID1, 
so that's where it is now.  Would be glad to add a footnote with your 
POV, or feel free to do so yourself.

Ralph and Akemi have already given good (polite!) answers, but one way 
to get going on Wiki editing is to find a page that is an example of the 
way you want yours to look and under More actions: pick Raw text. 
Guess that only works on pages to which you have edit rights. :-(

I find that editing in GUI mode always makes a mess of things, and it 
works best to Edit (Text) and use Preview to see how it is going to 
look.  YMMV.

Version number. It's 0.5.3-10. Current version on lfarkas's repository 
is 0.7.0-4. I use it (0.7.0) for a month now, I think, and have not seen 
any issues so far.

I also use kvm-84 from his repository and I have mot seen any problems 
except I am not able to connect with virtsh to qemu:///system, from 
root, just qemu:///test. All clients are CentOS 5.3 with kernel 
2.6.18-128.1.6, but I must keep virtual host (CentOS 5.3) on 
2.6.18-92.1.22 kernel because of issues with MB with AMD chipset (I was 
going to report this but never got the time to prepare all the info needed).

Re: [CentOS-virt] Machine freeze

2009-04-29 Thread Mathew S. McCarrell
Hey,

I'm wondering if it is possible that your problem is related to mine.
Earlier today I had to restart one of our domUs on one of our systems.  I
used xm shutdown instead of xm destroy and then did xm list to determine if
the domU had shutdown or not.  Upon issuing xm list a second time, the
entire server crashed and rebooted.

I've checked the logs and have yet to find anything.  I've attached a
transcript of the commands as I executed them on the server.  The system is
running CentOS 5.3 x64 w/Xen (kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Matt

 Hi all,

 thanks to all for valuable replies.
 It seems like we identified the issue. We assured that it is not HW related
 as it was already reproduced on different machines and platforms, with
 different BIOS versions.
 We are running a system performance/statistics collector that executes
 xentop command on Dom0 regularly. This is causing issues. If we execute:
 xentop -b -d 0.1  /dev/null
 in multiple instances, it will freeze the system.
 It was reproduced on CentOS 5.3 (kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5) system.
 There is created a bug for this issue:

 we are running CentOS 5.2 Xen virtualization system with the latest CentOS
 packages with couple of VMs on DELL PowerEdge. Sometimes the whole machine
 freezes without anything in log files, anything on the console. Sometimes
 really means we cannot define why or when. Sometimes the machine was idle
 with just one VM, sometimes quite busy with couple of VMs.

  Has anybody had the same experience? If yes, any hints on how to resolve
 it or how to trace the cause?

Yeah, the Dom0 should have plenty of memory left since only 2-3 GB of memory
is being used out of 12 GB installed.  The out of memory messages were from
the domU that I xm consoled into prior to shutting down that particular VM
because it was out of memory.

no creo que pueda ser que para un usuario estén instalados y para otro no.
Mas bien creo que podrías cambiar los elementos del menú inicio, escritorio,

[CentOS] Rsync/SSH automation problem?

2009-04-29 Thread James Bensley
Hi All,

I have a win2k3 server that its backing up to a CentOS 5.3 server. On
the Win2k3 machine I plan to have rsync back up nightly to the CentOS
server through ssh. The command I am using is as follows:

rsync -vrPtz -e ssh myu...@myserver:/remote/backup/folder/ /local/backup/folder/

This all works great for the inital test except its prompts me for a
password for myuser (as you would except) but how can I embed the
password for ssh into the command line? Or can I not?

Is the following some how possible:

rsync -vrPtz -e ssh myu...@myserver mypassword /remote/backup/folder/
/local/backup/folder/

Or something like that? I can't find anything that says it is possible
so its probably isn't but I know that some of you out there have far
superior searching skills than I or hopefully, you might already know?
Assuming this isn't possible as I've got that gut feeling it won't be,
does anyone else have a better idea?

BTW; Rsync in running on the windows box through cygwin in case you
wondered or hadn't guessed ;)

Many thanks,
James ;)

Re: [CentOS] Wake On LAN

2009-04-29 Thread James Bensley
OK, this is solved now so thought I would post back to the list in
case future users search the archives for the same problem and for
anyone who is interested ;)

Thanks Tony, you answer was partially it. I hadn't correctly enabled
WOL on the NIC card:

 I don't know about your Dell, but on my HP ML110 servers, I had to add
 a line to ifcfg-eth0 to make ethtool tell the LAN port to enable the
 wake-on-lan function:

 ETHTOOL_OPTS=wol g

 You will need to take the interface down and up after adding the line.

 Cheers
 Tony

Also the other problem was I was using a dual Gigabit NIC, in
particular I was using the 2nd port, but it turns out WOL only works
on the first port! Just in case anyone finds them self's in a similar
situation!

Many thanks,
James ;)

Hmm, this used to be an issue in the PERC3 days when PERC3DC was a 
LSI/AMI controller and PERC3Di was an Adaptec controller.

And the Adaptec stuff was known to eat your files but finally fixed by dell.
But these times are long ago so please stop spreading FUD.

And btw contrary to your statement I have seen dmraid with C5/RHEL5 eat

You can't. You use a certificate. There are many tutorials about this. I

Interesting - why not do a pull from the CentOS box?  This would only
work if the machines are local to each other!

I mount Windows Server 2003 as follows:

mount //[servername]/C$ /winmnts/[servername]/cdrive \
  -o credentials=/root/sysaccess

/root/sysaccess - contains just two lines:
username=[administrative account]
password=[administrative account password]

Also, you'll need to have created the path
/winmnts/[servername]/cdrive beforehand (as if you hadn't guessed that
already)!

From here, I run the rsync command without the need for the -e option.

Of course, if the servers are in geographically different locations,
then Kai's link is the way to go!


Cheers,
Tkb.

I also have stopped getting notifications of updates on the desktop

Also yum-updatesd sometimes reports failed on shutdown

The only other symptom is that if i login to the desktop if i open up
a terminal and do yum update then there is a process that has lock
through the yum pid but this goes away much more quickly than it used
to.

no big deal in any way, just a bit odd

[CentOS] GFS and Small Files

2009-04-29 Thread Hairul Ikmal Mohamad Fuzi
Hi all,

We are running CentOS 5.2 64bit as our file server.
Currently, we used GFS (with CLVM underneath it) as our filesystem
(for our multiple 2TB SAN volume exports) since we plan to add more
file servers (serving the same contents) later on.

The issue we are facing at the moment is we found out that command
such as 'ls' gives a very slow response.(e.g 3-4minutes for the
outputs of ls to be printed out, or in certain cases, 20minutes or so)
This is completely true especially in directories containing large
number of small files (e.g 9+ of 1-4kb files). The thing is, most
of system users are generating these small files frequently as part of
their workflow.

We tried emulating the same scenario (9+ of small files) on a ext3
partition and it gives almost the same result.

I believe most of the CLVM/GFS settings done are using the defaults
parameters. Additionally, we would prefer to stick to GFS (or at least
ext3) as it is part of CentOS / RHEL distribution rather than changing
into other small-files 'friendly' filesystems (such as XFS, ReiserFS).

I'm exploring whether is there anyway we can tune the GFS parameters
to make the system more responsive?
I have read that we can apply 'dir_index' option to ext3 partition to
speedup things, but I'm not so sure about GFS.

Below are the output from gfs_tool gettune /export/gfs :

ilimit1 = 100

Re: [CentOS] Rsync/SSH automation problem?

Thanks for your input, unfortunately the servers will be communicating
via the inter-web-net-spagetthi.

Its OK I have sorted this with ssh passphrases, the only reason I
posted to the list instead of using them in the first place is that I
was sceptical of the reliability of using them from a windows server
but in actual fact it all went swimmingly!

Thanks all xD

 Interesting - why not do a pull from the CentOS box?

He's doing that.

 I mount Windows Server 2003 as follows:

Mounting is completely different from using rsync on two hosts - e.g. you 
loose the delta algorithm advantage of rsync the way you use it. What you 
do may actually take *double* the time of a normal copy.

 From here, I run the rsync command without the need for the -e option.

Re: [CentOS] GFS and Small Files

2009-04-29 Thread Marc Grimme
Hi,
independently from the results you have seen it might be always reasonable to 
tune a gfs filesystem as follows:
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-6533
specially
mount with noatime and
gfs_tool settune fs glock_purge 50

Regards Marc.

 Hi all,

 We are running CentOS 5.2 64bit as our file server.
 Currently, we used GFS (with CLVM underneath it) as our filesystem
 (for our multiple 2TB SAN volume exports) since we plan to add more
 file servers (serving the same contents) later on.

 The issue we are facing at the moment is we found out that command
 such as 'ls' gives a very slow response.(e.g 3-4minutes for the
 outputs of ls to be printed out, or in certain cases, 20minutes or so)
 This is completely true especially in directories containing large
 number of small files (e.g 9+ of 1-4kb files). The thing is, most
 of system users are generating these small files frequently as part of
 their workflow.

 We tried emulating the same scenario (9+ of small files) on a ext3
 partition and it gives almost the same result.

 I believe most of the CLVM/GFS settings done are using the defaults
 parameters. Additionally, we would prefer to stick to GFS (or at least
 ext3) as it is part of CentOS / RHEL distribution rather than changing
 into other small-files 'friendly' filesystems (such as XFS, ReiserFS).

 I'm exploring whether is there anyway we can tune the GFS parameters
 to make the system more responsive?
 I have read that we can apply 'dir_index' option to ext3 partition to
 speedup things, but I'm not so sure about GFS.

One thing to keep in mind is that ls must sort the file list. If the
system load is high and memory is short, you may be getting into a swap
situation. I suggest trying the test when the system is lightly loaded
to see if the results differ. This might be especially significant if
you have a large number of concurrent users doing lots of things.

As well (I believe this is not FUD), 64 bit systems use more memory
inherently so memory shortage problems could be exacerbated.

You might want to check and see if swap is heavily used (if not
root, /sbin/swapon -s). That might be helpful, or not.

 tar, ftp, untar. but, seriously, don't use FTP, its a wretched krufty
 old protocol, with plaintext password authentication, and two different
 methods of setting up dynamic ports for transfers, both of which cause
 issues with firewalls and NAT. ugh.

If you control both ends, rsync over ssh is probably the nicest way to

You don't. Nobody touched it.

What I know of hardware would go in a gnat's eye. But when the

voiding the warranty), the memory stick slipped out and the new one in, 
just like in any other computer.

With a slight push at the exposed corner, the card comes far 
enough out to pull the rest of the way, and the  new one slips in. 

No soldering iron need apply.

 I have /root and /home on the 8Gb SD card and /boot, /var, and a 2Gb
 swap on the 4Gb SSD.

I should certainly try something like that, especially while I'm 
checking out umpteen distros; some of them might be able to use those -- 
assuming you give each its own partition??

Hi All,

I have a win2k3 server that its backing up to a CentOS 5.3 server. On
the Win2k3 machine I plan to have rsync back up nightly to the CentOS
server through ssh. The command I am using is as follows:

rsync -vrPtz -e ssh myu...@myserver:/remote/backup/folder/ 
/local/backup/folder/

This all works great for the inital test except its prompts me for a
password for myuser (as you would except) but how can I embed the
password for ssh into the command line? Or can I not?

We use rsync modules, hostname::modulename, extensively for
things like this as they can restrict the remote host to specific
directories, and IP address/CIDR block ranges without using ssh.

For things like rsync dns updates of djbdns/tinydns data files,
this can be done without encryption.  Where the data is
sensitive, doing the update over OpenVPN tunnels works nicely.

 I think much of the hype about how great the Debian packaging system is
 came from the days before they adopted yum, so Debian fans could point
 to apt-get and say Isn't it great to be able to install packages from
 the net directly from the command line?  Sure, once upon a time it was,
 but today, the main distinction I draw between the two sets of tools is
 that the Debian tools are more complex with no compensating benefit.
 (There are even some things the simpler Red Hattish tools can do that
 the Debian ones can't, easily.  rpm -qa, for one.)

rpm -qa typically just lists all of the packages on the system,
the equivalent in debian is dpkg -l.

I think much of the hype isn't really hype and mistakenly compares
package formats deb vs rpm, and package managers apt-get/aptitude
/dselect(shuder) vs yum.

Building from source is pretty easy assuming you have src entries in
apt's configuration:
apt-get build-dep package name - installs all dependencies required
for building
apt-get source -b package name - downloads and extracts source code
and compiles it

It's more about the repositories themselves, the QA behind them,
the integration of packages. A single unified source for patches,
security fixes etc.

From Debian 5.0 (lenny):
Total package names: 29647 (1186k)
  Normal packages: 22400
  Pure virtual packages: 319
  Single virtual packages: 2154
  Mixed virtual packages: 209
  Missing: 4565

No need to go to 3rd party repositories, no need to worry about
overrides, worrying about a 3rd party repo overwriting another
package on the system, very wide selection of well tested packages
(and yes I stick to Debian stable, haven't needed to run 'testing'
since about 2002).

At least package counts Debian has more than 10x more packages
than CentOS 5.2. My desktop at home has nearly 1900 packages
installed.

Also the debian package databases are in plain text format, while
I'm sure it has happened I have never personally heard of someone
suffering from package database corruption on debian(assuming they
were running the 'stable' version). Such corruption reports seem
somewhat common in the RPM world with the binary databases.

Add to that the well tested ability to upgrade between minor
and major version numbers time and time again. I don't have to
hold my breath when I go from Debian 4.0 to 5.0, I can do it from
remote without ever losing connectivity, I don't even have to reboot
at the end I can continue running the older kernel if I want.
Perhaps things have changed recently but last I heard there was
no supported upgrade path to go from RHEL 4 to 5 (I'm sure it's
possible but I don't believe it's supported). There are folks
out there that have seamlessly upgraded debian from back in the
2.x days all the way to current, more than a decade of upgrades
on one box. I have only gone a couple major revisions before I
end up retiring the hardware and starting fresh myself.

Since Ubuntu builds on Debian a similar number of packages are
available for it though they don't go through as much QA in the
universe and multiverse repositories, but do in many cases inherit
the QA done by the Debian team.

I've never really been fond of yum myself, though it is much better
than what was there before(nothing, before rhn at least).

I've been using RHEL/CentOS for about 6 years, Debian for about 11
years. I do prefer RHEL/CentOS for my work systems since I configure
things on a larger scale and that requires quite a bit of customization,
and I use Debian for all of my personal systems. These days I'm much
more familiar with the internals of RHEL/CentOS than I am Debian
anymore.

I currently maintain roughly 100 SRPMS(results in roughly 465 binary
RPMs) for my production environment (compile for CentOS 4/5 32,64 and
noarch) which are distributed to the systems using cfengine depending
on what the systems need.

Don't get me wrong I really do like CentOS it has it's purpose, I
just wanted to try to clarify what I view to be a misconception among
folks who champion debs over RPM, it's much less due to the format of
the packages themselves, or the package manager itself.

If you feel comfortable going down paths that offer less support
such as using 3rd party repos, performing non standard steps to
do system upgrades etc then that's great. These days I prefer less
wildcards in my life so I don't venture beyond the unsupported unless
I really need to(folks may be able to determine this by my ratio
of questions to (attempted) answers on this list).

centos4b...@triad.rr.com wrote:
 One thing to keep in mind is that ls must sort the file list.

Not only sorting, but usually ls ends up trying to find out if the
file is a directory, which uses a stat syscall for each of the
files.

This is always expensive on remote filesystems (e.g., NFS) and I would
expect it to be also the case in GFS.

Besides the -U option of ls, you might want to look at other
options that would make ls not try to stat each file. I'm not sure
exactly which of them, but one I can think of is disabling color
(since color will trigger a stat to find if the file is a
directory).

In general, having directories with a huge number of files tends to be
a bad idea, you will most likely have performance bottlenecks with
specific filesystems or tools. If possible, try to change the
application to create two or three levels of directories using a hash
on the filename and then creating directories with a small number of
files on each of them.

This is particularly true of directories with a lot of activity. 
Whenever an open for writing happens, the directory has to be searched

This isn't surprising. When I have to mail out to mailing lists for FOSS 
projects, I have to manually put my signature at the bottom, and turn off HTML 
mails, since Outlook encourages top posting, and HTML. Additionally, as you can 
see from the quoting of your message, the From: line is treated like normal 
quoted text instead of the norm for good mail clients. (No, I cannot switch off

[CentOS] Directory and File Perms

2009-04-29 Thread Joseph L. Casale
I have a directory shared out via Samba for Quickbooks and seem
to have some issues with permissions. The directory being shared
is a subdirectory in an ext3 partition being mounted with the acl
option.

It has been setup as follows:
 chown root:DOMAIN\AD_Group /mnt/Intuit_Data/
 chmod 2770 /mnt/Intuit_Data/

And the Samba share config is has:
 create mask = 0660
 directory mask = 0770

So when a user creates a file from their Windows box through Explorer
or any other app, it gets perms as you might expect:
 -rw-rw 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group   0 Apr 29 14:24 test.txt
and it can be deleted by anyone.

Problem is QB uses gamin and this file monitoring daemon runs as root
and all sorts of changes take place as you work with the data, from creating
the company file to editing it in QB, it ends up slowly changing to 0400?


Here is what I am seeing now:
User creates a new company file through QB (this is already fubar'ed):
# ll
-rw--- 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group 7647232 Apr 29 14:37 Company.QBW
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   DOMAIN+AD_Group 420 Apr 29 14:36 Company.QBW.ND
-rw-r--r-- 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group 1114112 Apr 29 14:36 Company.QBW.TLG
drwx-- 2 root   root  16384 Apr 24 09:34 lost+found
-rw-rw 1 root   DOMAIN+AD_Group 300 Apr 24 10:17 qbdir.dat

Now after working with the company in QB, this is what happens:
# ll
-rw--- 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group 7331840 Apr 29 14:37 Company.QBW
-rw-r--r-- 1 root   DOMAIN+AD_Group 420 Apr 29 14:37 Company.QBW.ND
-rw--- 1 Domain+jcasale DOMAIN+AD_Group 1245184 Apr 29 14:37 Company.QBW.TLG
drwx-- 2 root   root  16384 Apr 24 09:34 lost+found
-rw-rw 1 root   DOMAIN+AD_Group 300 Apr 24 10:17 qbdir.dat


What are my options to control this here? Edit init scripts for that daemon?
I don't know what would happen if it doesn't run as root, but maybe as a user
that has GID of DOMAIN+AD_Group?

Thanks for any ideas!

 RedHat and MS are parteners! In the Virtualization area and more.

Speaking of researching the facts, I suggest you do the same.

RedHat's partnership with MS most specifically does NOT include any
kind of patent licensing crap. The contortions MS/Novell had to go thru
in their agreement to try to squeeze into a tiny loophole in the GPL2
are the really objectional parts. The obey the letter but not the spirit
of the GPL nonsense stinks to high heaven.

 Problem is QB uses gamin and this file monitoring daemon runs as root
 and all sorts of changes take place as you work with the data, from creating
 the company file to editing it in QB, it ends up slowly changing to 0400?
 
 You probably want to look at the ``force user'' and/or ``force group''

I don't think that would even solve the problem because gamin reports to
QB and then QB makes the changes as per the FAM docs which is the older
of gamin.
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/doc.html

There is no explicit docs on gamin on the gnome site. They refer to FAM
as the per the documentation.

Question: Did QB give you documentation on how to set it under Linux?

I used openSUSE for quite a while -- even after the agreement (11.0 is still
on what is now my backup desktop) -- for two reasons. 1) Novell did a lot to
fight off SCO's anti-Linux FUD campaign. And 2) The SuSE community is a lot
bigger than Novell. So I'm not part of the boycott Novell group, but the
deal with M$ still seems kind of smelly.

As for Red Hat's virtualization agreement with Microsoft -- I thought that
had more to do with interoperability than with any licensing agreements?

Question: Did QB give you documentation on how to set it under Linux?

I was just about to post the same thing after I thought about it, as
gamin operates on the files outside of Samba...

They did provide a guide, but its weak and the setup from what I can see
is not secure. They suggest:

# chmod -R 775 /directory
# chgrp -R groupname /directory
[share_name]
path = /directory
comment = samba share for company files
valid users = user1 user2 user3
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0765

Not sure why other gets anything? I don't even see how that cures the
issues imposed? I think that continued access by the client works, it's
just when they try to delete a company...

The only thing I can think of is a cron job with a find excluding the
lost+found performing a chmod/chown? That's just silly though. What a POS.

Thanks!

Re: [CentOS] centos firewall?

2009-04-29 Thread Scott Silva
on 4-24-2009 3:51 PM Jason Todd Slack-Moehrle spake the following:
 Hi All,
 
 I am new to CentOS and I signed up for a Mosso Cloud Server that runs  
 Cent OS 5.2
 
 I can ssh in.
 
 I ran: yum install vnc vnc-server
 then: vncserver (and set desktop viewing password)
 
 But I cannot connect.
 
 How do I add 5900 to the centos firewall? How do I edit the conf file?
 
 I only have SSH ability at this point...
 
 -jason
If I remember right, vnc runs on 5900+ the number of the server started. So
the first one would be on 5901, the next on 5902, etc...

 You probably want to look at the ``force user'' and/or ``force group''
 share settings in Samba (or look for a Real Accounting(tm) package in place

I don't like Quickbooks. Quickbooks does not support anything but
Microsoft and even that means a phone call to worthless call center in
India.

I would never suggest that anyone use Samba/Linux to host Quickbooks
share unless they wanted to experience real heartburn.

That said, I don't generally advocate 'force user/group' configuration
on samba shares either unless there absolutely were no other way.

I think Joseph is onto most of it with...

 chown root:DOMAIN\AD_Group /mnt/Intuit_Data/
 chmod 2770 /mnt/Intuit_Data/

and I would add one more thing to the share definition...

 store dos attributes = yes
 inherit permissions = yes

Which generally makes for happy workgroups on Samba if the share is mounted 
with user_acl which is generally the default for Red Hat/CentOS systems but I 
can't vouch for Quickbooks behavior.
