Re: [CentOS] SAMBA as AD DC

2014-09-06 Thread Aly Khimji
It would appear the samba4 DC isn't available for C7 just yet.

As Fedora and RHEL are using MIT Kerberos implementation as its Kerberos
infrastructure of choice, the Samba Active Directory Domain Controller
implementation is not available with MIT Kereberos at the moment.

H perhaps I don't explain myself enough.

I already know that Samba capable of working as a AD domain controller and
more.

I'm asking about the official packages of CentOS, I mean from official
repo's.

Subject: [CentOS-announce] CentOS Project joins forces with Red Hat

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

With great excitement I'd like to announce that we are joining the Red
Hat family. The CentOS Project ( http://www.centos.org ) is joining
forces with Red Hat. Working as part of the Open Source and Standards
team ( http://community.redhat.com/ ) to foster rapid innovation
beyond the platform into the next generation of emerging technologies.
Working alongside the Fedora and RHEL ecosystems, we hope to further
expand on the community offerings by providing a platform that is
easily consumed, by other projects to promote their code while we
maintain the established base.

We are also launching the new CentOS.org website (
http://www.centos.org ).

- -
The new initiative is going to be overseen by the new CentOS Governing
Board. The initial Board comprises of the existing CentOS Core team
members :

- - Ralph Angenent
- - Tru Hyunh
- - Johnny Hughes JR
- - Jim Perrin
- - Karanbir Singh

and also sees new members:
- - Fabian Arrotin, who comes to the board nominated from the community
- - Carl Trieloff, Karsten Wade, and Mike McLean join us, nominated by
Red Hat.

Please join me in welcoming the new members to the Board.

The key operating points of the Board are going to be: Public, Open,
and Inclusive. You can find more information about the governance
model, the board, and the operating policies we are proposing at
http://www.centos.org/about/governance/

Furthermore, some of the existing CentOS Core members are moving to
take up roles at Red Hat, as a part of their sponsorship of the CentOS
Project, allowing these people to work on the Project as their primary
job function. This includes Johnny Hughes Jr, Jim Perrin, Fabian
Arrotin, and myself. We will be working with and operating out of the
Red Hat Open Source and Standards team in the CTO's Office.

- -
Some of the things that are not changing:
- - The CentOS Linux platform isn't changing. The process and methods
built up around the platform however are going to become more open,
more inclusive and transparent.
- - The sponsor driven content network that has been central to the
success of the CentOS efforts over the years stays intact.
- - The bugs, issues, and incident handling process stays as it has been
with more opportunities for community members to get involved at
various stages of the process.
- - The Red Hat Enterprise Linux to CentOS firewall will also remain.
Members and contributors to the CentOS efforts are still isolated from
the RHEL Groups inside Red Hat, with the only interface being srpm /
source path tracking, no sooner than is considered released. In
summary:  we retain an upstream.

Feel free to reach out if you have specific concerns about how this
change impacts your CentOS story. URLs mentioned at the bottom of this
email should be a good starting point.

- -
Some of the key things that are changing:
- - Some of us now work for Red Hat, but not RHEL. This should not have
any impact to our ability to do what we have done in the past, it
should facilitate a more rapid pace of development and evolution for
our work on the community platform.

- - Red Hat is offering to sponsor some of the buildsystem and initial
content delivery resources - how we are able to consume these and when
we are able to make use of this is to be decided.

- - Sources that we consume, in the platform, in the addons, or the
parallel stacks such as Xen4CentOS will become easier to consume with
a git.centos.org being setup, with the scripts and rpm metadata needed
to create binaries being published there. The Board also aims to put
together a plan to allow groups to come together within the CentOS
ecosystem as a Special Interest Group (SIG) and build CentOS Variants
on our resources, as officially endorsed. You can read about the
proposal at http://www.centos.org/variants/

- - Because we are now able to work with the Red Hat legal teams, some
of the contraints that resulted in efforts like CentOS-QA being behind
closed doors, now go away and we hope to have the entire build, test,
and delivery chain open to anyone who wishes to come and join the effort.

The changes we make are going to be community inclusive, and promoted,
proposed, formalised, and actioned in an open community centric manner
on the centos-devel mailing list. And I highly encourage everyone to
come along and participate.

Contacting us works best via the established community mechanisms.

Re: [CentOS-virt] Announcing a new HA KVM tutorial!

2014-01-06 Thread Aly Khimji
Thank you very much for this, looks like a good read.
Will provide feedback  :)

 Almost exactly two years ago, I released the first tutorial for building
 an HA platform for KVM VMs. In that time, I have learned a lot, created
 some tools to simplify management and refined the design to handle
 corner-cases seen in the field.

 Today, the culmination of that learning is summed up in the 2nd
 Edition of that tutorial, now called AN!Cluster Tutorial 2.

 https://alteeve.ca/w/AN!Cluster_Tutorial_2

 These HA KVM platforms have been in production for over two years now in
 facilities all over the world; Universities, municipal governments,
 corporate DCs, manufacturing facilities, etc. I've gotten wonderful
 feedback from users and all that real-world experience has been
 integrated into this new tutorial.

 As always, everything is 100% open source and free-as-in-beer!

 The major changes are:

 * SELinux and iptables are enabled and used.
 * Numerous slight changes made to the OS and cluster stack configuration
 to provide better corner-case fault handling.

 * Architecture refinements;
 ** Redundant PSUs, UPSes and fence methods emphasized.
 ** Monitoring multiple UPSes added via modified apcupsd
 ** Detailed monitoring of LSI-based RAID controllers and drives
 ** Discussion on hardware considerations for VM performance based on
 anticipated work loads

 * Naming convention changes to support the new AN!CDB dashboard[1]
 ** New alert system covered with fault and notable event alerting

 * Wider array of guest OSes are covered;
 ** Windows 7
 ** Windows 8
 ** Windows 2008 R2
 ** Windows 2012
 ** Solaris 11
 ** FreeBSD 9
 ** RHEL 6
 ** SLES 11

 Beyond that, the formatting of the tutorial itself has been slightly
 modified. I do think it is the easiest to follow tutorial I have yet
 been able to produce. I am very proud of this one! :D

 As always, feedback is always very much appreciated. Everything from
 typos/grammar mistakes, functional problems or anything else is very
 valuable. I take all the feedback I get and use it to helping make the
 tutorials better.

 Enjoy!

 Digimer, who now can now start the next tutorial in earnest!

Re: [CentOS] Rsyslog5 and CentOS

2011-07-06 Thread aly . khimji
Not sure exactly what you need but I came across this when setting up rsyslog 
to work with mysql and was having SELinux protecting services. This is what I 
used you can see if it helps resolve your issue. Again I don't know if this 
will work for you but u can try it in a test environment and see if it helps

# setenforce 0
# service rsyslog restart
# cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep rsyslogd | audit2allow -M myselinuxmod; 
semodule -i myselinuxmod.pp
# setenforce 1
# service rsyslog restart

That should get all audit related errors, audit allow a policy file and load up 
the file.

Tweak it as u see fit,

I have never done it directly of a servers PSU, however I am sure it can be

However I have done it from a good APC PDU that had SNMP monitoring for all

Hope that helps.

I would like to monitor the power consumption of my server. What I am

* a simple monitoring device that would measure the power consumption

* a way to get the consumption reading from that device to my centos

Any suggestions?

I am also looking for a way to measure other devices than computers
and I want to collect this information to the centos server. But I
guess it doesn't matter what kind of device I connect to the PDU, it
still can measure its power consumption and report it somehow?

Can you recommend any cheap model? I was aware of these PDU's
existing, but I haven't really considered them as they probably are
quite expensive as they do also many other things (monitor the load of
the server etc)...

Hello All,

Just a short note to add my vote for a HUGE round of applause to the 
CentOS team for their untiring efforts in getting releases out the door. 
  I've just upgraded several servers to 5.6 and it all just works.

None of the team's work is easy to accomplish, especially when 
less-than-useful complaints keep popping up from thoughtless users who 
don't appreciate the effort, and who waste the team's time trying to 
respond.  RedHat's move to defend their support business against the 
freeloading distro vendors (we all know who those sharks are!) wasn't 
aimed at CentOS, but it has significantly increased the workload the 
team faces.

Let's be patient and let them get the job done.

Kudos to the CentOS team!

Hey you should check out fail2ban as well. Excellent little app that analysis 
the log for the corresponding demon using a regex (u can create custom ones 
too) and performs an action you choose including iptables, hosts.deny, etc.. 
You can easily adjust setting like 3 failed connections max per min, etc..

Works well for sshd, postfix, httpd, etc..also fires you an email when a attack 
is stopped

Simple and very effective. Definitely worth checking out

Maybe what Centos needs is a bridal registry.

Anyway, the idea is, post stuff you need in a list on your site. Say you
need 20 hard drives, or a particular power supply, or whatever items that
get consumed in day to day operations.

Just list what's needed, who needs it, and whatever info.  It doesn't have
to be hardware either - just something everyone can agree is OK to list.

People visiting the site can look and decide if it's possible to contribute
something - even if it's only one new hard drive of the type needed. Or
maybe a canister of Columbia's finest coffee. (although I supposed consuming
donated foods of any kind from unknown persons is a risk)

And should a contributing member have a hardware failure on his own personal
workstation, why not ask the world for some charity in return for his/her
efforts? Just list what you need, what it is to be used for, and see if we
like you enough to give it to you.

'Contributing members' meaning those known to the community, verifiable, and
who are putting in the hours, or whatever efforts.

And I'm thinking cash donations should be frowned upon because money can be
so easily subverted to doing bad things in the world.

Hmm, I usually get tons of that on my desktop linux machine that has a wireless 
keyboard, but if I use a ps2 keyboard I none of it. 

I also notice it with keyboards with ton's of extra functions (volume, audio 
functions, etc..). I believe its something with special key mappings. Do u have 
another keyboard to test with?
