The currently booted kernel will never get swapped out when you are
updating, so this should not be a concern. Have you reported your issues
on JIRA though?

Re: [CentOS] CentOS-7-x86_64-dvd-2009.iso is too big for DVD blanks

2021-03-15 Thread Michel van Deventer

Hi,

you can also burn it to a DL (dual layer) DVD (like the Centos 8 image).

regards,

   Michel

ISO image: CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso 4.7GB raw CD image
Wed Nov  4 05:37:25 2020

User Anthony F McInerney advises Wikipedia says
DVD-R capacity: 4,707,319,808 bytes (max)

I have tried burning this same iso image on two different machines: a
CentOS 7.9 server and a Fedora 33 laptop. Same failure on both.

We need to ask the developers to make a re-spin that's about 5MB
smaller. And before someone suggests it, the 2010-vintage server I'm
trying to install CentOS on does not support booting from a thumb
drive, so that option is not available.

the package wireshark does not contain the 'wireshark' binary, you
should use 'tshark' on the commandline.
The 'wireshark' binary is in the wireshark-gnome package and requires a
graphical interface.

tshark takes most of the same parameters as wireshark (if not all)

We also had it updated and fail2ban worked perfectly except it did not
ban anymore on the sshd jail. This was caused by the
/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/sshd.conf file which should have been replaced
with a new one from the rpm (there was a sshd.conf.rpmnew file).

Re: [CentOS] rescue - UEFI revert to BIOS boot - how?

2018-11-20 Thread Michel van Deventer

Hi,

I had the same sort of issue. My workstation with a Asrock motherboard 
suddenly decided to reset UEFI to defaults which caused my Fedora 
installation not to boot. I could boot with a Live USB stick and use 
efibootmgr to set the UEFI boot for Fedora but next time I powered on my 
machine the same issue happened (I remove AC power from my workstation 
when it is not in use). Turned out to be a flat battery for the BIOS 
(coin cell). I replaced the coin cell and set the UEFI boot with the 
Live USB stick and all was well.

The efibootmgr command was something like :
efibootmgr -c --part 2 --loader /EFI/Fedora/grubx64.efi --label Fedora

Please check the manpage of efibootmgr,  the process of how to setup the 
UEFI boot is described very well.


Regards,

   Michel

my question is: how can I rescue, re-build grub so it would

If the OS was installed with UEFI enabled I would go back to UEFI mode.

Then re-add your OS boot configuration within the BIOS setup screen.

Most motherboard manufacturers detail this process on their website 
where
you browse the disk to select somefilename.efi and give it a label 
“CentOS”.

[CentOS] kiwi-ltsp - slave printer setup

2018-10-31 Thread Michel Donais

On a Suse server
I'm trying to setup an USB slave printer to a work station
here below are my configuration files.
When I boot a station, i can see on the lower right  the identification 
of the station as

localhost(192.168.0.101) +time  stamp

The printer is configured in cups as ipp://192.168.0.101:9100
my problem is when I send a print out the print stays on cups and stall.
the print  system  doesn't find the station
On a terminal I can Identify the printer with 'lsusb'

On an Ubuntu system with the same configuration as below I can send a 
print and the printer receive it (it's working)

[CentOS] strange behavior with cron

2014-04-22 Thread Michel Donais
Do somebody had this situation where an Email is sent every minutes to a 
specific user named michel.
These emails are
incoming from:Root
with an header like:  Cron michel@donais ~/.h5siP /dev/null 
2/dev/null;
and a text message as: /bin/sh: no: command not found

There is a cron task named h5siP  in the path of this user; he is the only 
one affected by this situation.
I found that this script have a relation with an other one named as R5Agz

If I remove the cron job h5siP from the cron listing and I restart cron the 
script is back a few minutes later.
.h5siP-p and .R5Agz-p  are located in dev/shm/   and both contain a process 
number as 23374   and 35678
.R5Agz and .h5siP can be found in a user named michel repertory wich the one 
who receive a lot of emails
.h5siP is also located in /temp

The only changes we made to our system was yesterday. We made an automatic 
yum updte of three programs ; java 1.6. kpartx and device-mapper-multipath.
I don't know if there is a relation or do I face a kind of virus?

I hope somebody can help

Re: [CentOS] kde in centos 6.4

2013-04-25 Thread Michel Donais
On the login screen there was no place as in 5.9 or older to make a choice 
of desktop environment.
I changed
DESKTOP=KDE
 DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE
and it has no effect; GNOME hang on there.

So because of a lot of flaws in my installation and of lack of time I decide 
to go back to 5.9 and get a look later for a 6.4 installation.


---
Michel Donais

- Original  Michel, are you trying to change your window manager (gdm 
vs kdm) or
 your desktop (gnome vs kde)?

 If you are trying to change your desktop, then Craig's suggestion would
 work, though keep in mind that the session section of the gdm window
 manager is on the password screen, i.e. you enter your username and then
 you have the option to change your desktop on the next screen. Like Mark
 said, they don't make it easy, meh!

 If you are trying to change the window manager itself, as in have kdm
 handle the login screen rather than gdm, then you would need to create
 the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop and put these two lines in that file:

 DESKTOP=KDE
 DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE

 then reboot the machine and it should come back up with the kdm console
 screen (and the system default desktop set to kde). Keep in mind that
 you may need to explicitly install the yum group KDE-Desktop in order to
 set the window manager to kdm. Depending on which type of os install you
 did, that group doesn't get installed. For example, for my workstations
 we generally use the install choice Software Development Workstation,
 and we need to do a yum-install of the group after the os installation
 is finished (since we don't bother with the customization stuff until
 post-install).

 Hope this helps!

 So you could just unpack that and sort the contents yourself, or simply

So must I understand that the RPM package is compressed and need

Re: [CentOS] [HW/OT] Recommend vendor to recover data from LTO4tapes

2012-06-17 Thread Michel Donais
Software

We used recently Nucleus to recover an SLR100 tape and we get back about 80% 
of the surface intact; but you must think that each situation is different.
http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/backup-recovery.html

An other software but we don't know about it.
http://www.kerneldatarecovery.com/buy-tape-backup-recovery.html


Recovery service may be useful but we asked for quote and it was a bit 
heavy; that 's the reason we choose to recover from Nucleus and I think they 
should haven't been better.

Re: [CentOS] loosing applications

2012-05-07 Thread Michel Donais
 Hi Michel. This is only to print a sys variable; you don't need to do
 anything there. So your default python finds the libuser library, the 
 error
 you saw before with import libuser is not coming from this python, at 
 least
 as root. Does it make sense to remove pirut and re-install it? I don't use
 it, I have absolutely no idea which consequences it may have removing and
 reinstalling pirut for software that was already installed under pirut.

It's already been done, uninstall and re-install pirut without success. The 
version removed end the re-installed one were at the same level

For Centos-5.8 I've a test machine both are at the same level of update.
If I do print (sys.path) on the production machine, I get

 import sys
 print (sys.path)
['', '/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages']

And on the test machine I get

 import sys
 print (sys.path)
['', '/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric', 
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

If I refer at Larry Martell message, he pointed that the problem was with 
sys.path

If I look in ?usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/
numeric in there on the test machine but absent on the production one

I tried to re-install  python-numeric.i386 0:23.7-2.2.2.el5_6.1 and nothig 
change; numeric is still not there

On these facts, can somebody point me a solution?

 Run both commands from terminal and see what error is being reported.

Thak's to care,
For pirut I get:

For system-config-users I get:

I checked and
libsepol-1.15.2-3.el5 is there
also /user/lib/libuser and .so , .so.1, .so.1.1.6 etc are there

If I type at command line import libuser I get the same reaction as running 
system-config-users the program seem to turn round but no execution and 
tnhen stop
But if I look in /etc/libuser.conf I see a line as:
# The default (/usr/lib*/libuser) is actually  correct
Do I have to think that the modules should be in /user/lib/libuser/  instead 
of  /usr/lib/


What should be my next move?

 Hi. Both the issue and the message are similar to some errors I receive 
 if
 I forget to change to CentOS default Python before using yum  Co. You
 probably already checked for this but anyway: Do you have more than one
 Python intallation, or did you compile Python from source, or used a
 package that installed a Non-CentOS-default Python version?

Where should be default python

 I have poked around in google and have seen a number of youtube videos,
 but my question is whether anyone really has linux running on any kind
 of tablet or tablet PC device in such a way that the touch screen can be
 used productively and it won't take a month to get it running? 
 Initially the two applications that are of most interest to me would be
 a good web browser (maybe chromium) and thunderbird.  I would also like
 to have a decent on screen keyboard which could be used to ssh to
 servers in an emergency.

 I've seen instructions for booting linux on various devices, but many
 people doing this are using keyboards and not touchscreens.

 Do applications like thunderbird have to be modified in order to work
 well with a touch screen or is just getting a working driver for the
 touchpad sufficient?

 If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate knowing what
 hardware your running on and what linux distro/desktop environment you
 use.  I've been interested in devices like the ASUS EP121 which is a
 dual core I5, so it wouldn't be necessary to have an ARM distribution. 
 Also the newest Asus transformer prime (arm) which I think is about 2
 months away sounds interesting.
 Lots of people do this and lots of (most?) commercial tablet/smartphone 
 systems are based on Linux or a close cousin (Android and iOS come to 
 mind...).

 As far as non-commercial DIY tablet distros, there are distros and special 
 interest groups within larger distros that focus on this type of deployment.

 But none of them are CentOS, so I'm not sure why you pinged this mailinglist 
 -- though I think you'd probably find that CentOS installs just fine in most 
 cases, just remember to build whatever graphcs driver you need or your 
 experience might not be good.

 Go ask over at Fedora, Ubuntu and maybe Mint. Also check out MeeGo and 
 whatnot.

 As a side note, there is nothing magical about a touchscreen. Touchscreens 
 are just pointing devices like mice and touchpads as far as Linux is 
 concerned, but in this case it is a touchpad that you can see through to a 
 screen on the other side (there is a special case of location logic, of 
 course, so the pointer doesn't continue from last location, but this is a 
 normal case handled by X). So nothing special happens in an application to 
 make it work with a touchscreen because a touchscreen is just creating 
 mouse events the same way your normal mouse would do. The only problem with 
 touchscreens is that small icons are smaller than your finger (well, mine 
 anyway) and so you have to make the desktop a little cartoony to make things 
 work right. Gnome Shell in Fedora is actually not too bad to use with a 
 touchscreen, though it sucks horribly with a mouse IMO, and KDE with large 
 widgets is pretty easy as well.

Re: [CentOS] Corosync init-script broken on CentOS6

2011-11-23 Thread Michel van Deventer
Hi,

Did you configure corosync ? 
Normally corosync starts pacemaker, which in turn starts the heartbeat
deamons.
But you have to configure the latter using for example a pcmk file with
configuration in /etc/corosync/conf.d/ (from the top of my head).
I normally use :

 I am trying to create a corosync/pacemaker cluster using CentOS 6.0.
 However, I'm having a great deal of difficulty doing so.
 
 Corosync has a valid configuration file and an authkey has been generated.
 
 When I run /etc/init.d/corosync I see that only corosync is started.
 From experience working with corosync/pacemaker before, I know that
 this is not enough to have a functioning cluster. For some reason the
 base install (with or without updates) is not starting corosync
 dependencies.
 
 I've even tried using corosync/pacemaker for the EPEL 6 repo, and
 still the init-script will not start corosync dependencies.
 
 Expected:
 corosync
 /usr/lib64/heartbeat/stonithd
 /usr/lib64/heartbeat/cib
 /usr/lib64/heartbeat/lrmd
 /usr/lib64/heartbeat/attrd
 /usr/lib64/heartbeat/pengine
 
 Observed:
 corosync
 
 My install options are:
 %packages
 @base
 @core
 @ha
 @nfs-file-server
 @network-file-system-client
 @resilient-storage
 @server-platform
 @server-policy
 @storage-client-multipath
 @system-admin-tools
 pax
 oddjob
 sgpio
 pacemaker
 dlm-pcmk
 screen
 lsscsi
 -rgmanager

 The logs from the server aren't terribly helpful either:

Re: [CentOS] I can't connect to /dev/ttyS0

2011-09-25 Thread Michel Donais
 You first need to double-check that /dev/ttyS0 is actually 
 the correct serial COM port you have the modem connected to.
 
 Please look under System-Hardware and then click the 
 16550A-compatible COM port in the LH pane.
 
 Then in the RH pane click on 'Advanced', and find the 
 serial.device string or linux.device_file.
 
 This will be something like:
 
 linux.device_file  strlist /dev/ttySx where x == 0|1|2|3
 serial.device  strlist /dev/ttySx where x == 0|1|2|3
 
 Make sure this is the same as what you are trying to connect to. 

Thank's  Keith 

I got it working

 including myself?

Well it's a bit ennoying.
I've done all the given check list and got nearly no answer for a solution.
So I decided to open the box to see that the serial device connector was 
partly unplug from the mother board; so it was the source of my problem.

 I put it back in palce and it was done.

Re: [CentOS] data recovery

2011-09-23 Thread Michel Donais
Two weeks ago I've been in similar situation on an 80 gig sata drive.

Found it with 8 partition; boot was there but nothing of the operating 
system to load Linux 5.6

My recovery solution was to put the disk on a window system as a secondary 
drive. Just connected to read data
For reading I found a software called ' nucleus kernel linux'  from 
http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/Linux-Data-Recovery-Software.html

On partition 3 I found nearly all my data files and their directories but 
were missiing  /etc /bin /dev 

Hope this help.

Re: [CentOS] big problem at boot [SOLVED]

2011-09-07 Thread Michel Donais
Than's a lot everybody who answered my help request.

You just give me a way to search finding a solution.
I noticed that the on the disk the boot sector was there and permit booting 
but the system failed because was'nt able to find /etc/inittab. That let me 
think that perhaps it was ok on the rest of the surface.

I found a Windows software (sorry) named 'Neucleus Kernel Linux' by 
http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/
With it I was able to scan the surface of the disk and recover all my lost 
files.

[CentOS] cent0s-6 and virtualbox

2011-07-17 Thread Michel Donais
I want to get a look at Cents-6
The computer is a portable Thinkpad T-42
The base OS is Windows XP Professionnal 

I tried to use both Microsoft Virtual PC and Oracle Virtual Box with the same 
result
I boot from the CD (wich have been burned from an ISO downloaded from a Centos 
-6 repo).
The version is CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso

With each virtual machine I get this result at the beginning of the 
installation:
This kernel requires the following features not present on the cpu pae
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU

I undeerstand that perhaps the computer processor is too old.
But is there a patch to overpass this problem?

Re: [CentOS] cent0s-6 and virtualbox

2011-07-17 Thread Michel Donais
 Hrrm, seems as if the ISO may be using a PAE kernel by default.  PAE is
 a kernel that will be able to make use of more than 4GB of RAM with
 i686.

 Ah, I see it's apparently a decision by RH.  I assume there's some logic
 in it, though I don't know what it is.


 http://jp.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=26352forum=14


 See if it's possible to add
 PAE to the machine settings in VirtualBox.   Settings=System=Processor

The box is already checked but the CPU doesn't have PAE capability so it's 
useless.

It won't be a bad thing thatthe install may do a choice of a cpu with or not 
the capability of PAE as it was in the past.

You should check /var/log/messages for i/o errors and check your disks
with smartctl

I have had my raid1 arrays rebuild sometime without a (for me known)

For a few days I can't boot a server in graphical mode.
The screen goes black and a have a CUI login.
I can login a user and at this point 'startx' get the graphical interface up


in /etc/inittab/
x: 5:respawn: /etc.X11/prefdm -nodaemon
and xdmcp is alivre

On this server we have 12 stations drived by LTSP as a terminal server. We can 
boot the stations to a point where the X graphical interface doesn't come up 
and the terminal stays with a grey screen with a big X in the center.

Do somebody can drive me to a solution?

Re: [CentOS] sata drives and controlers

2011-03-09 Thread Michel Donais
 Is your server PCI 32bit, PCI 64bit, or PCI-X (64bit, 100-133Mhz), or is 
 it PCI-Express and if so does it have x4 or faster slots?

The mother board is an MSI KT# MS6380E with an AMD2100XP cpu
FSB is 166 mhz; chipset is 333mhz

 As someone else said, a SATA card likely will NOT be bootable, unless it 
 has a boot eeprom on it, and these cost more.

On good point I have to care, 
Many thanks

[CentOS] sata drives and controlers

2011-03-08 Thread Michel Donais
I intend to replace fading SCSI drive by a SATA one. 
The motherboard is PCI and no SATA controller on board.
So I need a SATA/PCI  controller.

Is there something wrong to do this kind of switch?
Some told me that I won't be able to boot that drive.
Loosing part of the SATA interface speed is not a decisive factor on this 
machine
Is there are  some prefered Linux SATA controller?

Need experienced feedbacks.

Re: [CentOS] server specifications

2011-02-13 Thread Michel Donais
Before any possible answer can be given, the first question must be: What 
do you plan to do with it?
You'r right, but I have to begin somewhere.

This hardware is intended to be a terminal server for at least 40 users 
driven with LTSP.for BBx Pro-5 and Bbj applications
Need fast and huge storage, 2 lan fast connexions. No intensive mail or web 
browsing, 1 or 2 outside (xtranet ) users;
back-up will be on an SLR-100 tape drive

The load for 20 users and for the last 6 years with RH9 is actually 
supported by a
MOTHER BOARD : MSI KT-3 ULTRA DDR 333(3) CE (ATX form)
CPU : AMD-2100 XP
memory : 2 DDRam 333 (512MEG) for a total of 1024meg
1 scsi controller adaptec 29160 SCSI
3 hard disc SEAGATE CHETAH ULTRA SCSI-ULTRA-320 LVD (68 pin)

It  have been enough for that tme but users number is raising and by the way 
an upgrade of the computing capacity will be usefull.

I checked recently for  an ASUS S775 P5Q-VM G45 PCIE MOTHERBOARD with an 
INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9550 2.83G/1333/12M/S775 with SATA hard disc no Raid
I doesn't seem to be a server board and I'm not shure of that choice.

 Security through obscurity doesn't work.

 It certainly helps defeat most potential intruders but not the most
 determined.  IPtables does help too.

 We also run fail2ban at work. Very nice, installs (along with shorewall),
 and creates a temporary blacklist, blocking an IP that's tried five, I
 think, times to break in. All configurable, btw.
Here too and from my own systems those 'scriptkiddies' are exposed to the

Re: [CentOS] tar-ing subdirectories separately

2011-01-23 Thread Michel van Deventer
Hi,

 I want to backup a directory using tar, but want separate tarballs for
 each subdirectory. For example: 
 # ls dir1
 subdir1 subdir2 subdir3
 
 
 Will it possible to do it using only tar command? Or will I need
 another separate piece of logic/control? I thought of writing a shell
 script with three tar commands for each subdirectory, but that's not
 elegant way of doing it. Also, it may not scale as number of
 subdirectories change. Any other solutions or tips for doing this will
 be really helpful. 
You can try something like :
find /dir1 -type d -print -maxdepth 0 | while read DIR ; do tar cfv
$DIR.tar $DIR/; done

not tested, just off the top of my head and it's late, so if it breaks,
you can keep and be happy with all the pieces ;)

  I've seen the DVD ISO files on select mirrors.  it can be 
  difficult to reliably transfer a 4GB file over http/ftp
 
 I've only had one DVD iso dowload corrupted over http.
 
 I use a fast mirror and d/l overnight with a wget bash 
 script, run by cron.
I have downloaded hundreds of DVD iso images with wget and curl during
the past years. I had maybe one or two that were corrupted in one way or
another, mostly because of improperly configured (windows) webservers.
4Gb with HTTP is no problem nowadays, FTP isn't either.
If you have doubts about HTTP/FTP you can always use the Bittorrent way
to download (also with commandline tools like btdownloadcurses or
similar). It doesn't really matter when you download them although in
some cases it can make a difference in speed to download overnight but
with most tools you can also specify a maximum bandwith to use.

To be sure an image is ok you can always check the image with the
md5/sha1 checksum which is normally found in the same directory as the
image on the HTTP/FTP server.

kind regards,

Yes it does make sense, if the machine in the 192.168.236.0/24 has the
centos box in the middle (the one with two LAN cards) as a default
route, then you wouldn't need a seperate route. Packets would come back.
Can you give the network settings for 192.168.236.80 ?

Can you tell us more about the network setup ? routers in both
networks ? Maybe a quick drawing should make things more clear.

If you cannot set a route on the various devices it might help to use
proxy-arp.

You can use scripts to act on incoming SMS too.

You can send SMS from the command line or by putting a file with the

[CentOS-es] Problemas de Ancho de Banda

Hola Lista

Me dirijo a uds para ver si pueden orientarme para resolver un problema

se satura con el Trafico HTTP y Torrents.

Necesito  limitar el consumo de ancho de banda tanto para ambos 
traficos, de modo que pueda darle máxima prioridad a tráfico http. 
dejando los torrentes que se descargan desde una única dirección IP a

tenia alojado unos sitios de prueba y el acceso a ellos demasiado lento.

Inclusive hasta para trabajar por ssh.

Muy buena variante de marcar los paquetes para luego limitarlos, habia

Re: [CentOS] should vsftpd be disabled in favour of sftp for security reasons?

2010-09-17 Thread Michel van Deventer

   (another in an ongoing list of things i just want to clarify for the
 sake of future courses taught on centos.)

   from this RHEL doc page:

 http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-openssh-server-config.html

 the reader is advised to, for the sake of security, remove/disable
vsftpd, ostensibly in favour of sftp/sftp-server.  really?

   i can obviously see disallowing stuff like telnet and rsh and
 rlogin, that's a no-brainer.  but advising against vsftpd for the sake
of security?  i'm not sure i see the logic in that.  thoughts?
As FTP is a clear-text protocol, I would surely advise against leaving it
on :)
I only run a vsftpd server on one of my machines for the customers
comfort, but that will change in the near future !

I can easily image scenarios where unencrypted traffic with
usernames/passwords is disallowed.

[CentOS] Bandwidth issues

2010-09-17 Thread Michel Bulgado
Hello this is the first time I write to the list.

I use in my company CentOS 5.5 on all servers, especially in the 
firewall, recently I have problems with bandwidth, since my internet 
connection is 512 Kbps and the same is saturated with torrents.

I need to limit the bandwidth consumption for torrents, giving highest 
priority to http traffic. leaving the torrents that are downloaded from 
a single IP address at a speed of 128 Kbps

I use iptables on the firewall.

Could tell me if it possible to limit such traffic with iptables and 
send me some examples?

Thanks

 Sorry to hijack this thread, but it could be relevant.
 As matter of interest, do these cards offer lower throughput than 4x
 single 1GB cards?
If you should use them in a PCI slot yes, not if you use them in a PCI-X
or PCI-e slot (although you could saturate a PCI-e x1 with 4 gbit ports I
think).




 Depends mostly on if you are using PCI/PCI-X vs PCI-express. At high bit
 rates you can saturate the old PCI bus. A single gigabit port can pretty
 much saturate a 32-bit PCI bus at 33MHz.

 PCI-express can go a lot faster.
The Intel Quad cards don't fit (and don't then) in a single PCI slot.
The Intel Dual Gbit cards do and you can saturate a PCI slot with it quite
easy :)

 Slds

 Michel y demás hermanos, migrar un AD no es sencillo si se desea migrar a
 los usuarios sin tener que pasar a re-establecer su contraseña (yo he pasado
 por eso y es bastante pesado). Yo tengo poca experiencia en estos temas, lo
 que puedo aportar es lo siguiente:

 Monta un Fedora (ahora 389) Directory Server (los paquetes están en el Repo
 de EPEL y Alcance Libre), el proceso de instalación es sencillo. Luego de
 que tengas todo OK, entonces procede a crear el certificado para asegurar
 tus conexiones LDAP (por el puerto 686) y especifícale en el servidor que
 solamente acepte conexiones seguras, en el lado del cliente ejecutas openssl
 con algunas opciones y apuntando al puerto 686 del servidor LDAP para
 extraerle el certificado al mismo para que el cliente se conecte sin
 problemas, claro está que tendrías que configurar el cliente LDAP después.

 Luego asegúrate que tu W2K3 tenga su Entidad Emisora de Certificados y su AD
 tenga su certificado. Si todo está OK, entonces tiene que obtener ambos
 certificados (en el Wincows es un .pki y en el Linux es un .p12 si la
 memoria no me falla) para añadirlos a ambos servidores. Con esto hecho
 tienes que establecer un Acuerdo de Sincronización en el 389DS para así
 poder sincronizar el 389 con los usuarios del AD.

 Si todo lo anterior es exitoso, tienes que montar en en Windows el PassSync
 y configurarlo para que en cuanto haya algún cambio de contraseña por parte
 de un usuario, pues, que el PassSync la capture y se la mande al 389DS (esto
 es debido a que la función de Hash de los passwords en Wincows no es igual a
 la de Linux y, dicho sea de paso, el password no se guarda en la entrada del
 usuario en el AD), hay varios modos de forzar a los usuarios a que cambien
 sus pass, uno de ellos (el que más me gusta) es por las políticas de cambio
 de pass.

 Una vez obtenidos todos los datos de los usuarios, entonces es que montar en
 tu Linux el smbldap-tools. Claro, entre un amigo y yo lo modificamos (sin
 saber ni K de phyton ni perl) para que convirtiera las entradas ntUser
 obtenidas del AD en entradas posixAccount y sambaSAMAccount para que nos
 pudieran servir para los usuarios (se imaginas casi 1000 usuarios pasando
 por el sistema para poner contraseñas, un verdadero dolor de cabeza).

 Esto fue lo que hicimos por allá por el año 2007 para resolver el problema
 de la migración, claro, de eso ya casi no me acuerdo nada porque me
 desentendí de

En la empresa donde trabajo tenemos Servidor Windows 2003 Enterprise  
Server con los servicios basicos: DNS, DHCP, WINS y por ultimo los  
Usuarios de la red en el Directorio Activo.

Las computadoras que se encuentran en la red tienen instalado windows  
xp, estan dentro de un dominio, inician sesion en la red y cargan  
ciertas politicas desde el servidor.

Mi pregunta es:

Existe algun proyecto similar al Directorio Activo bajo CentOS?

Puedo migrar mis usuarios y las politicas definidas hacia ella como  
cambio de contraseñas, roles, etc...?

 yum install wireshark

 After installation i dont know how to proceed further in capturing the
 packets. I basically want to capture packets and copy them onto my
 windows box. On the windows box i can use the Wireshark UI to open the
 pcap file to view its contents.
Wireshark in cli mode is called tshark.

With 'tshark -i eth0 -w outfile' captures all traffic on eth0 to outfile.
