Hello all,
about the Mandriva 2006 status, I have the following comments to add:
Progress:
*I have a slightly modified trunk working, which includes success in the tests
performed in step 8;
*the package 'compat-libgfortran', provided by Erich, do works, thus solving
the problem I was having with the correct dependency problems related to
gcc-gfortran (thanks Erich!)
*a few months ago, we discussed in the list the possible reasons why syslinux
does not provide pxelinux.0 anymore; Brian's suggestion was right, it is now
provided by a package named pxelinux, and the file is renamed linux.0 - we'll
have to configure the script setup_pxe so it reaches this file (thanks Brian!).
Problems:
*during step 3, sometimes I have problems with the identification of my ip and
network data. I found what is causing that this morning, and turns to be that
Ganglia's edit_ganglia_conf file restart the network (as part of its procedure)
right before that step (so network is down when the system searches for an
address ip from ifconfig). I add a 'sleep' time between the two actions and
then all works fine, all the time. Also I don't think the route configuration
is really working. I'll be watching for this soon.
*postfix is not beeing installed - this should be pretty simple to solve;
*finally, the main problem is still the new version from openssh, used in
Mandriva 10.1 and Mandriva 2006. I did a lot of research about that but didn't
found anything that should lead to the direct cause of this. I will write a
complete report from everything I looked at, so to search for help from the
openssh developers. The only thing I would like to add, at this point, is the
following lines from the /var/log/messages file (node) when I try to connect to
one node as oscartst user:
Mar 20 14:27:12 fernando sshd[5993]: User oscartst not allowed because account
is locked
Mar 20 14:27:12 fernando sshd[5993]: Failed none for invalid user oscartst
from 10.200.1.2 port 60460 ssh2
So, the user is beeing looked by default.
To-do:
*openSSH - I still have to configure the script ssh_install so to set the
sshd_config file to PermitRootLogin.
As you can see, perhaps I would also benefit from a possible postpone of the
code freeze :-)
Regards,
