Network automatic installation with custom mirror

[Ding Honghui]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi list,

I try to install my server from pxe boot and encounter some issue.

Because my network bandwidth is very limited and I can't wait too long
to install a server, so I collect all I need packages include packages
from security.debian.org and ftp.us.debian.org and run apt-move to get a
proper archive hierarchy that can be act as a mirror.

The command apt-move above generate a modified Release file in
/debian/dists/lenny/Release, and I have to sign this file to make the
installer trust me. So I sign the /debian/dists/lenny/Release with my
gpg key, then I custom the /var/lib/tftpboot/./initrd.gz and add my
gpg key to initrd's /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg

Then I use pxeboot and preseed to install the Debian system. The new
issue raised because in target system, my key does not added as trusted key.

It seems the target's trusted key is generated at debootstrap step in
debian-installer, I don't know how can I hack into it to add my gpg key
as trusted key.

Anyway, I think what I did it too complicated and there should be an
easy way to fit my requirement. I appreciated if you can give me some
clue to resolve this problem.

Thanks
Ding

What you need maybe is zhcon or cce.

Run zhcon in console and you can see Chinese charactors now.

Hello List,

These days I learn to use ipmitool, it works great with DRAC 5, but I
can't use ipmitool to config DRAC 4.

Can anyone help me to figure out how can use ipmitool to config DRAC 4
or if there are no way to config it by ipmitool?

There are no ext3 filesystem in file dexo-awesome.ext3.img. Maybe no
filesystem or filesystem such as ntfs,vfat(fat32) in dexo-awesome.ext3.img.
If you would like to create ext3 filesystem on this file, please run

mkfs.ext3 dexo-awesome.ext3.img

Have you reboot after you create the partition?
The udev will create node /dev/sda16 for you after you reboot.

Re: umask problem

[Ding Honghui]

Hello Jeff,

Bash will not read the profile when in notty mode.
The /etc/profile and .bash_profile both set the umask to 022, so after
login, the hostA and hostB any user have same umask.
The problem occurs in notty mode.

Ding Honghui

umask problem

[Ding Honghui]

Hello list,

I encounter a problem and can't finger out why it is:

For hostA
1. ssh u...@hosta umask shows 0022
2. ssh r...@hosta umask shows 0022
For hostB
3. ssh u...@hostb umask shows 0077
4. ssh r...@hostb umask shows 0022

md5sum for files
/etc/login.defs
/etc/pam.d/login
/etc/pam.d/ssh
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
in both hosts are same

What can be reason the umask are different in normal user when ssh in
notty mode?

Thanks.

Help on kerberos passwordless login in ssh service

[Ding Honghui]

Hello list,

My OS is Debian 4.0.
I install 3 server, 1 is kerberos server(krb), 1 is ssh client(sshc) and
1 is ssh server(sshs).
My kerberos server installed krb5-admin-server and krb5-kdc.
I has add a principal root and host/krbsshs.hz.vobile in kerberos server.
For ssh client and ssh server, I install krb5-user and krb5-config.

I would like to test if I can ssh from sshc to sshs passwordlessly.

I run kinit -f and klist, it seems ok.

But, when I ssh to sshs, it prompt me to input password, I input the
kerberos password, then I login to the server. That's not I wanted. How
should I config so that I can login to sshs from sshc without password.

Hello, do you means like that?
for a in `ls | sed -e s'/_/ /g' | awk '{print $2}'`; do echo
icon_${a}_0_1.jpg; done

A better way maybe is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test/jpg$ touch icon_3563_0_1.jpg  icon_3616_0_1.jpg
icon_3620_0_1.jpg
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test/jpg$ ls

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test/jpg$ ls | awk -F_ '{print $2}'
3563
3616
3620
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test/jpg$

hi, here is the cpuinfo for HP DL580 G4 with kernel 2.6.18-6-686. HT is
not disabled.

This server have 4 slots for cpu and every slot can contain a dual core
cpu.

But in this cpuinfo file, only physical id 0 and physical id 1 exist, it
means only 2 slot is used and every slot contain 2 dual core cpu? It
confuse me.

hmm, Does ethercard on your laptop work? If it works, run tcpdump or
wireshark on it, then run pppoeconf to know what happened.

Is there any todo manager tools?

[Ding Honghui]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I need a todo manager tools has such feature:

1. category support ( personal, business, etc )
2. remind before due date ( by mail ,etc )
3. relation between todo lists ( such as todo A dependence todo B )
4. support priority ( it's better when I can give it a score by
emergency and necessary )
5. easy to update, if I mark it as done, it should disappear in list but
still remain in history
6. searchable

hmm, seems bugzilla satisfy almost all these feature..

Re: IO diagnose tools?

[Ding Honghui]

Hash: SHA1

Thanks for you replay.

It seems lsof does not display which process is write or read from the
block device.

As refered in kernel document Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt,
I read the document Documentation/laptop-mode.txt:

If you want to find out which process caused the disk to spin up, you can
gather information by setting the flag /proc/sys/vm/block_dump. When
this flag
is set, Linux reports all disk read and write operations that take
place, and
all block dirtyings done to files. This makes it possible to debug why a
disk
needs to spin up, and to increase battery life even more. The output of
block_dump is written to the kernel output, and it can be retrieved using
"dmesg". When you use block_dump and your kernel logging level also includes
kernel debugging messages, you probably want to turn off klogd, otherwise
the output of block_dump will be logged, causing disk activity that is not
normally there.

It works.
and any tools provide maybe better.

hi list

vmstat 1 shows my debian box wa in field cpu is about 9x% and bi in

Re: Debian Repository Question

[Ding Honghui]

The standard way to create OpenVZ template in debian is use debootstrap[1]

If you run other tools such like EZ-Templates, As you said, some package
maybe missing when you create template because the offical debian
sources maybe changed in days. I guess you are looking for something
like snapshot.debian.org. It keeps all package in old days for you. Any
way, I think the method in [1] is better for security reason.
