[CentOS-es] Hola a Todos ...Consejos
Hola, Colegas. Resulta que hace algun tiempo que estaba alejado de la administracion de redes y ahora comence de nuevo y me encuentro que todos los servidores de la empresa son Windows (todos los dias dan problemas) y quiero quitarme todo esto de arriba. Tengo la instalacion de CentOS 5 y esto ha cambiado mucho desde que lo deje en RedHat 7.1 y necesito algunos consejos: 1. Puedo con el desarrollo actual que tiene Linux quitar el PDC de Windows y activar samba y que las estaciones Windows se autentifiquen en linux normalmente ? Que necesito para eso ? 2. En la actualidad hay Exchange para el correo electronico, antiguamente utilizaba sendmail pero hay nuevas aplicaciones de correo y queria ver cual de ellas es la mejor o mas completa en estos momentos, pues tengo varios tipos de usuarios y con diferentes tipos de alcance en la mensajeria, hay algunos que solo pueden enviar dentro de la empresa, otros con alcance nacional y determinados dominios y direcciones y los restantes sin ninguna restriccion, ademas quiero eliminar el Outlook y poner una interfase web para tener mas control y quitarme problemas de encima. 3. De proxy tengo un ISA que no es muy amigable para mi, prefiero squid pero hay algunas cosas que nunca hice con squid, por ejemplo yo antiguamente al usuario que podia navegar pues podia navegar, pero el problema es la navegacion aqui es por tipo de usuario, hay pcs que pueden navegar por la intranet de la empresa, otros que pueden tener acceso a publicaciones y sitios especificos y los demas acceso completo, tambien hay usuarios que pueden usar gestores de descargas como DAP, GetRigth, etc y otros NO, o sea, pueden tener navegacion pero no se les debe permitir descargar nada. Esto antes se hacia con las ACL pero ahora no se que nivel de personalizacion pueda lograr con ello. 4. Necesito algun servicio de comunicacion SIP, hay montado OfficeLive pero quizas pueda lograrse algun otro mejor que permita crear salas de chat, o brinde mas opciones. 5. Tengo varias aplicaciones hechas en Foxpro para DOS, Visual Basic 6, Access y demas. Queria probar alguna pc con Ubuntu y correr alguna de estas aplicaciones, me comentaron que habia cierto emulador para esto pero lo desconozco, alguien podria aclararme que hay de cierto en esto; esto es con el objetivo de hacer algunas pruebas y ver si tambien me quito el dichoso windows de las estaciones de trabajo. Bueno, estas son algunas dudas que tengo despues de tanto tiempo. Espero sus acertados consejos... slds, Dioblan pd. acentos omitidos intencionalmente... ___ CentOS-es mailing list CentOS-es@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es
[CentOS-es] desarrollo de aplicacion grande
Hola, miren nuevamente acudo a uds. para ver que me puedan colaborar y brindar sugerencias sobre lo siguiente: Acabo de ingresar a trabajar a un empresa, en la cual se tiene previsto desarrollar una gran aplicacion financiera (por los modulos de que se componen sera una aplicacion de buen tamaño).

Bueno mi consulta, va referida a que segun estas caracteristicas se puede plantear mejores alternativas, tanto para acceso como para implementacion, a mi personalmente me gustaria saber si todo esto se puede hacer con herramientas de software libre tanto en BD como en desarrollo y cuales podrian ser las mejores alternativas, y si alguno tuviera alguna experincia , me gustaria me la comparta. disculpen la aplitud del mensaje y gracias adelantadas para los que me den alguna sugerencia Graciela ___ CentOS-es mailing list CentOS-es@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es

Hola, de principio gracias a todos por responder y dar sus sugerencias, a lo mejor que algunas cosas no las upe explicar bien, ahora detallo esas, para que tengan una idea mas clara: * Tengo enetendio que si se busco, para ver si existia aplicaciones que cumplan con los requerimientos, lastimosamente no encontraron una. ademas que para ir desarrollando modulos faltantes sobre alguna aplicacion candidata, decidieron que era preferible desarrollarla completa. * Para que tengan una idea la aplicacion no solo toca aspectos financieros, mas alcontrario toma aspectos de control y seguimiento de proyectos de inversion (pagos, reversiones, etc), adquisiciones nacionales e internacionales, manejo de cartera para creditos a sectores productivos, control y seguimiento de obras financiadas por distintos organismos (gubernamentales, ongs, etc) y varios otros modulos relacionados con financiamientos a proyectos. * El tiempo previsto es de 10 meses, contatando almenos 10 desarrolladores expertos en la herramienta, tambien se planifico una capcitacion para todos los que ya trabajamos para que estemos al nivel de los contratados. De entre todas las sugerencias, existen algunas que no conocia y me llaman la atencion, por ejemplo: * Catalyst (este puede generar CRUDs de forma automatica?, al igual que symfony y RoR?) * XSP mod_mono (he visto que en las aplicaciones .net pueden compilar y obtener un .exe de la aplicacion y publicarla en el IIS, esto es soportado por XSP y mod_mono?) agradeceria si me pudiesen dar mas detalles al respecto. atte Graciela ___ CentOS-es mailing list CentOS-es@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es
Re: [CentOS-es] desarrollo de aplicacion grande
En mi trabajo usamos en entornos de producción lo siguiente: 1) JBOSS como servidor de aplicaciones. 2) PostgreSQL como SGBD. 3) J2EE Esta configuración cumple perfectamente los requisitos que planteastes inicialmente, añadiende se consigue perfectamente alta disponibilidad. Como entorno de desarrollo: Eclipse Como ves el conjunto es idóneo para el entorno que estás planteando. Es más, si te empeñas en el uso de plataforma .NET, está MONO, pero mi recomendación es la indicada al comienzo: JBOSS + PGSQL + J2EE.

Re: [CentOS] Choosing VPN Server
OpenVPN doesn't support IPSec at all. It's an SSL implementation. You'll want to look at Openswan (http://www.openswan.org/) for IPSec. PS. The www is very important when going to the openswan site. Their webserver is configured funky. For Microsoft compatibility, Poptop and Openswan are your best bets.

Re: [CentOS] LDAP / PAM -- Invalid Credentials Error
Thank you for you response, but I might not have been clear in my original email. All of the other servers (servers[1-9]) are working properly, i.e. the user 'testuser' is able to log in using the password I set, and is able to change the password using passwd, among other things of course. So because of this, I assume LDAP is working properly. My question is why can't 'testuser' log into the actual LDAP server? There must be some configuration difference, but I just can't find it. I obviously would not change /etc/pam.d/system-auth manually, I would use 'authconfig' to make any changes. I already turned off WINBIND and that did nothing to fix it.

I want to use rpmdevtools to help with some packaging chores. There is no C5 version that I can find. I've located an SRC RPM in a location that is known to be C5 compatible. There are 2 versions of rpmdevtools: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/SRPMS/rpmdevtools-6.1-0.1.fc6.src.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/SRPMS/rpmdevtools-5.3-1.fc6.src.rpm naturally I grabbed the highest version (6.1) and rebuilt it for EL5. The installation halted, missing a version of rpm-build higher than the base version in C5. It seems that rpm-build 4.4.2.1+ comes from FC7. This is the first time that I've seen an FC6 repo package that depended on something from FC7. To use the 6.1 version, you need an updated version of rpm ( 4.4.2 ). FC6 uses rpm-4.4.2.1, which is a slightly modified version of rpm-4.4.2 from F7 (F7 uses python-2.5, FC6 uses python-2.4). rpmdevtools 5.3.1 builds, installs, and works fine on C5. I think I made the right decisions here (balking at trying to install a higher version of rpm-build). If you need to use rpmdevtools, how would you approach the problem? What source repo would you use? Is there an rhel5 SRC RPM? Where is it? You can try looking at EPEL for it. EPEL is the rebuilding of Fedora Extras, by the Fedora team.

Re: [CentOS] Choosing VPN Server
I just want to point out that the default port for openvpn is 1194. SSL/TLS has absolutely nothing to do with port 443, except that https happens to use both port 443 and SSL/TLS. Otherwise, SSL/TLS is simply a toolkit used for encryption, and does not require any specific port whatsoever. Saying so would be like saying that glibc requires network port XYZ. The use of port 443 with openvpn is only mentioned as a convenience, because many firewalls allow traffic to port 443 to pass unrestricted, while they may block other ports. Those of you in the know probably already know this, but for those unfamiliar, the discussion may seem to imply that port 443 and SSL/TLS are tightly bound. This message is intended to clarify that implication. On 9/20/07, Ross S. W. Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wei Yu wrote: Does openvpn support IPsec well?

Mostly it has to do with the way information is ordered and written to the filesystem. The old FAT filesystem (and to a lesser extent NTFS) was sloppy, and needed some periodic cleanup. EXT2/3 are a bit more elegant in their design and structure the data such that a defrag isn't really necessary. The filesystem *will* check itself every 180 days or every so many reboots via fsck. This is configurable with tune2fs. That's basically the high level explanation for the differences.

Re: [CentOS] Disk De-Fraging in Linux
On Thursday 20 September 2007, Al Sparks wrote: Why? What's different between NTFS and ext2/3 that defragging is needed in one but not the other? === Al And this is the right question to ask... Anyway - the answer about defragging, if you really care to understand it, is pretty length. FAT used to be horrible. It would always simply take the first available cluster and use that to store data. This resulted in a lot of fragmentation. NTFS is much better already. It still profits from defragging but the results don't make that much of a difference anymore as long as your partition doesn't get close to being full. It tries to allocate contiguous blocks and will even add some buffer to the end for file growth. ext2/3 is similar to ntfs in its fragmentation resistance. It however, has 2 more advantages. First, linux uses swap devices and stuff like mmapped files are still movable. In windows, swap files and some other files are not movable. The second advantage is reserved space. By default, each ext2/3 filesystem has 5% of its space reserved for root. ext2/3 simply assume you will never get past 95% full - so the data is laid out accordingly. Since you know you have at least 5% free disk blocks, you can leave a little bit more unallocated space at the end of each file... Its not much but it adds up over time. The worst possible scenario I've found for ext3 so far is cvs. With every checkin, cvs has to modify the whole file. It does so by writing a completely new file, then deleting the old one and moving the new file in place. This means that each time, the filesystem has to allocate new space. For a long time, I balanced stuff between servers, removed outdated code and so on. bi-monthly fsck would show about 1-2% fragmentation at about 75% filesystem full. Then a few large projects were imported. filesystem usage went up to 98% (someone did a tune2fs -m 0) and then the problems really started. I'm just about to go home now - 2am. I spent the last few hours reorganizing the cvs filesystem. A filesystem check showed 61% fragmentation! I moved old code off to a secondary server, then coppied things off, recreated the filesystem and then copied the data back. Results were impressive - my I/O subsystem can take about 1800 io ops per second. The result before that, was about 1.1MB/sec throughput measured in iostat with a few cvs processes running at the same time. After the reorg... again 1800 ios - but my throughput rose to a more useful 24 MB/sec... Anyway - bullet points: * there is no good way to measure (on a filesystem level) fragmentation other than fsck * try filefrag to check for fragmentation on a per file basis. * there is no online ext2/3 defragger that works on block level * there is a offline defragger for ext2 on block level e2defrag. ext3 would have to be converted to ext2 and back to ext3 after the defrag. * there are some filelevel fragmentation tools. They basically work by copying files around. This works on filesystems that had high utilization for a while, got fragmented but are now mostly empty again. I tried some of that on my cvs server but none ended up giving me good results. * if fsck shows high fragmentation (5% in my opinions) you should make sure the filesystem doesn't get that full and if you really want to defrag, copy the data off and back on. Its the best way to do it. And now I'm off to bed. Peter. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
