[CentOS-es] Cambiar de nombre una PC dentro de un dominio SAMBA
Me ha surgido la necesidad de renombrar varias pc dentro de un dominio SAMBA (sobre samba 3.0.33), pero no estoy logrando que funcione. Desde el lado del server, la cuenta de la máquina se renombra perfectamente tanto en /etc/passwd como en la bd de samba.

I checked out spacewalk and cobbler, both of which look like they require a network support infrastructure, at least a tftp server. I want to use a CD or DVD. Kickstart sounds like the way to go, but i'm looking to have everything self contained, for example if i want to install the postfix package, i'll want to remove sendmail, set up postfix to start at selected runlevels and configure the main.cf and master.cf files so that when the box reboots postfix is ready to go. I'd also like to have this install as slimmed down as possible, for example i probably won't be using x so i'd prefer not to have any x packages in the install dvd. Thanks. Dave. This can all be done with kickstart but you will have to have a quite big uniqe kickstart config for each machine. And then all that CD-waste...

/var/run

I am not sure what you want to achieve, but if you want just to Backup,
maybe specialized Backup Software like Bacula (http://www.bacula.org/)
could be a better solution for you (Sorry, could not resist ;-)
That said, if you want to do it that way, my exclude list (maybe) could
be:
/etc/mtab
/etc/ssh/*_key{,.pub}
/etc/hosts (maybe)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-* (not sure, maybe other files too)

/selinux/*
/sys/*
/dev/*
/tmp/*
/*lost+found/* (maybe)
/.auto*
If the partition Layout differs
/etc/fstab
and not lost+found for not existing file systems maybe.
Well, I done that years ago multiple times for one shot cloning not for

So for example someone making $55K/year works out to about $27 / hour (I think), so they'd get $2.70 for every hour they carry the pager outside of regular work hours. We are a company of about 25 people. My old employer Nortel still does it this way : - $27.50 for every 8 hour shift you carry it, outside of regular work hours I'd say really depends on how much work the pager involves, how often your paged and how much time you spend responding to such pages. A company I worked at two jobs ago had pager pay, they tiered it per tier. Pager duty was absolutely brutal, you could easily get 100+ pages a week. I think the average pay was something like $150/week extra for carrying it. I got something like $250/week since I was the lone tier 3 person. There was about 140 people at the time I left. My last company and my current one don't compensate for pager duty, both places the load is very light, my current company has a dedicated 24/7 NOC type setup, so as a tier 3 person(or maybe tier 4 who knows) I get called maybe twice a month. I am technically on call 24/7/365, but if I don't answer they just escalate to somebody else. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Tony, try this: [localu...@host1 ~]$ ssh r...@host2 remotecmd This requires that the public key for localuser on host1 exists in host2:.ssh/authorized_keys. It also requires PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, which is unfortunately the default on CentOS. (I usually turn it off.)

The knowledgebase article referenced in the VMWare Server wiki article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006427 is the best source as far as I can tell. This is because VMWare keep the contents up-to-date. As suggested in there, you may want to try the 5.4 kernel -164 (already available for CentOS) without using clocksource or divider= options.

You should certainly install vmware tools, and enable time sync to the guest. Also don't run an ntp server in a Vmware VM. I had an issue on my system running Debian and VMware server, I think it was a hardware/bios issue but the thing was the host system detected the clock speed of the hardware at 1/2 the proper speed. Which caused the host OS clock speed to double. Which wrecked havok in the VMs. Once I loaded the 'p4-clockmod' module that 'fixed' the clock speed in the host and I restarted the guest VMs and things were good after that. Another thing to check is to make sure the 'rtc' driver is loaded, my recent vmware server experience is limited to running it on Debian(have it on 2 systems), so I can't speak to running it on top of CentOS. Most of my ESX guests are CentOS though. Another thing I do is have ntpdate run in cron every so often to do another 'sync' to the host, typically once every 5 minutes I found that in my experience at least there is still some drift over time without doing that even with vmware tools time sync enabled. I do the same on guests running on ESX(roughly 300 of them). I have found on ESX at least, haven't tried any other version of vmware, but on ESX with a VMI enabled kernel(unfortunately none of the RHEL4/5 kernels are VMI-enabled) with paravirtualization you can run an ntp server in the guest. I run dedicated Fedora 8 VMs with ntp servers(my vmware servers sync against those VMs), for this purpose. I know paravirtualization is going away in VMware at some point, hoping to find another solution before that happens. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The article is the best effort by VMWare but it does not rectify all cases.
