[CentOS] Simple solution for small network in a school ?
Hi, I have to install a small network in a school in a nearby village. The network will be Linux-only, one server and fifteen desktops. Here's the idea. 1) Authentication should be managed centrally on the server. 2) User home directories should also be on the server. 3) Users should all have disk quotas, something like 1 GB per user. 4) Some shared directories should be read/write for a defined group of users (teachers) and read-only for others. So far, I've only dealt with local authentication. I have a little practice in basic setups of Samba and NFS and managed to get these to work OK. On the other hand, I've never worked with NIS, LDAP or the likes. My question is more general, and I don't want to go into technical details. According to the KISS principle, which solution would you recommend (or explicitly *not* recommend)? A mix of LDAP and Samba? Or NIS and NFS? And what's this thing called Directory Server, which vaguely sounds like it's the right way to go? Any suggestions?

Basically keep passwords out of the directory and you need to have a Kerberos ticket to access the directory. 2) User home directories should also be on the server. Not a problem, you can share these out via NFS and/or Samba. 3) Users should all have disk quotas, something like 1 GB per user. Also not a problem to setup quotas and use rquotad to remotely query these from NFS clients. Samba has builtin support for quotas. 4) Some shared directories should be read/write for a defined group of users (teachers) and read-only for others.

If all clients are Linux then start with NFS/NIS/Kerberos then as things grow you can look to move to LDAP. The Directory Server is a turn-key package for implementing LDAP plus Kerberos with a pre-established LDAP schema and tools to manage it. Definitely worth taking a look at. Personally I don't have experience with it so can't recommend or not recommend it. You COULD also have a Windows Active Directory server to provide LDAP and Kerberos services to your Linux environment. They definitely have nice management tools. MS for not-for-profit is dirt cheap. Run it as a VMware/VirtualBox/KVM/Xen VM. Hell, run the whole server as an ESXi host and have multiple VMs for redundancy/load spreading. -Ross ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you're clever with scripting and iproute2 commands, rules and multiple routing tables, and everything's Linux, this is certainly doable. You could have your System A ping System B's IP via eth0 every minute, and on failure reassign its default route and IP to eth1. Meanwhile you can set up rules and routes on System B so that whichever NIC traffic comes in on, the response will use the same NIC ... stuff you'll find if you google around for how to be dual-homed between ISPs is quite applicable here.

Re: [CentOS] Redundant LAN routing possible?
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll read up more about them. The bond0 and just works sounds simple which is a Good Thing! The problem was the last time I tried to cross connect multiple switches, everything just died so there must be something a bit more involved? :D In the mean time since my post, I came across STP (spanning tree protocol) that seems to be designed to handle this sort of thing, i.e. figure out the shortest path and prevent network shortcircuit like what I had experienced with cross connecting multiple switches. But it apparently takes 50 seconds to reconfigure anytime sometime in the circuit fails. There is supposedly a Rapid STP that only takes 3 seconds. Several couple-of-years old search results indicate that it was tested in 2.4 kernel and will be in 2.6 kernel. However, I cannot seem to find anything newer that confirms if such functionality is really in the current kernel. Anybody has any idea?

Is it possible in a similar way to setup redundant LAN routing? I read that it is possible to aggregate/bond multiple NIC to stackable switches that support link aggregation and redundancy. But if only simple switches are available, is something like this possible? e.g. System A eth0 - lan switch/router 1 eth1 - lan switch/router 2 System B eth0 - lan switch 1 eth1 - lan switch 2 Then somehow specify that, if lan switch 1 fails, the two systems will switch to using switch 2 so that in case of a switch failure, the network continues to remain operational. Yes. You can do it. I've done it before. All you need is the right choice of bonding mode . You set up bond0 for eth0 and eth1 and it 'just works'. To make it more robust, cross-connect the two switches as well. -- Benjamin Franz ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

After installing lm_sensors-2.10.8.-2 from elrepo, then installing the necessary drivers (also from elrepo) for the sensors on my Shuttle SA76G2, the readings are now available. For anyone else who runs into this, the SA76G2 needs the it87 and k10temp kernel drivers. Now I just have to get the ranges set correctly. Unfortunately, Shuttle publishes absolutely nothing in the way of documentation, and their tech support people refuse to provide information, claiming that it is proprietary. I guess I'll post it in their user forums once I figure which measurements are meaningful. Since the elrepo kmod-k10temp/lm_sensors packages worked, then you may also benefit from the elrepo kmod-powernow-k8 package. With AMD Phenom II quad-cores running centos 5, kmod-powernow-k8 typically gives a 8-10C drop in core temperature at idle and a significant reduction in power consumption at idle as described in this centos bug report: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3766 You will also likely notice that your cpu fan slows down at idle. It is worth installing the kmod if just to quieten down the cpu fan. As per the bug report, this issue should be fixed in rhel/centos 5.6 Steve ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
