HPC Cluster with Debian Etch
Hello: Is anyone aware of a project similar to Rocks Clusters (http://www.rocksclusters.org/) that uses Debian as it's base? Rocks is super simple to get setup; I recently setup a 8 node HPC cluster with Rocks to develop MPI applications in under an hour. However I'd prefer to use something based on Debian Etch. I've came across a few projects (ClusterKnoppix, PelicanHPC, ParallelKnoppix, Quantian), but these projects are based live CD projects like Knoppix and Debian Live. I'd really like to have a cluster with a persistent setup similar to that provided with Rocks. Thanks in advance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I won't call myself an expert or anything like that, but I /really/ enjoy the clustering world and have been involved with it for a few years now (both for fun and work). I have worked with clusters across a wide range of software and hardware as well as with most of the Distro's you have listed and many more you didn't. I have not found anything like Rocks; at least not with the cluster work I do/have done. Most of the Debian based distros I have worked with are good and get the job done, but none of them quite compare with Rocks in the same way. It's an apples-to-oranges-but-at-least-they-are-both-fruit comparison at best. I wish they had a Debian based port... *sigh* Take my comments for what you may think they are worth. I absolutely adore Debian for my home and my servers but I have absolutely nothing but praise for the Rocks team when it comes to clustering. Just MHO. I'd tried the distros I mentioned and home brewed solutions based on Debian and CentOS, but nothing I've came across compares to the simplicity and management you get with Rocks. Given enough time, I'm sure someone could develop a Debian cluster solution that matches Rocks. Until then, I'll stick with Rocks.

OpenAFS, Kerberos setup for Debian Sarge
Does anyone know of any documentation for setting up OpenAFS and Kerberos for Debian Sarge. We have roughly 100 Linux and Windows clients that use NFS and Samba to access roughly 10 file servers. The idea behind considering OpenAFS is to create a common file storage area our Linux and Windows clients can see without having location dependent names/paths and without having to reinvest $$ in newer, bigger storage solutions.

Debian netboot on a SunFire v20z
Has anyone gotten a netboot install for amd64 working on a Sun SunFire V20z? I'm using the netboot from 12/21/2004. It boots from the cd, detects my Broadcom card, loads the tg3 module, configures the network, obtains an IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS servers from my DHCP server. It then asks me to select a mirror (I have tried ftp.us.debian.org, mirrors.kernel.org, and numerous other foreign mirrors), and it gets the following error: The installer failed to download a file from the mirror. This may be a problem with your network, or with the mirror. You can choose to retry the download, select a different mirror, or cancel and choose another installation method. I know the network card and the network are fine. I recently installed Solaris 10 b72 and Ubuntu on this server and connected to the network without a hitch. I've tried retrying, changing numerous ftp/http mirrors, and I always get the same error. Any suggestions?

Re: Linux Router
The main point is that there are so many things to do in Linux in order to configure it for masquerading (Recompiling Kernel etc). There also so many different commands that do exactly the same thing but in different ways. If a person is starting off in firewalling it's not good to overwhelm them with information. With OpenBSD, you simply edit stuff that's already there, for example. These are the steps i would take to setup a gateway on a brand newly setup OpenBSD machine: Uncomment the following in /etc/sysctl.conf net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 (if using IPv6) Uncomment and edit this line in /etc/pf.conf (stuff in needs to be edited, stuff in [] is optional) nat [pass] on interface [af] from src_addr [port src_port] to dst_addr [port dst_port] - ext_addr [pool_type] [static-port] You may then reboot the machine or just issue the following two commands: # sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 Or # sysctl net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 (if using IPv6) Then # pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf You now have a fully working NAT box. To perform IP forwarding uncomment the port redirect line in pf.conf and modify it to your taste then issue: # pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf The default configuration for the machine has zero known security holes. (have a look at www.openbsd.org for security info) Regards, Ken Forgive me if I'm new to the OpenBSD approach, but I've installed OpenBSD 3.6 on a laptop with 2 PCMCIA cards, and I cannot get any of my clients behind the firewall to see beyond the firewall. My two network cards are setup as: bsdrouter# ifconfig ep1 ep1: flags=8863UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 address: 00:60:97:87:8b:4d media: Ethernet 10baseT inet 172.16.1.100 netmask 0x broadcast 172.16.255.255 inet6 fe80::260:97ff:fe87:8b4d%ep1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 bsdrouter# ifconfig ep2 ep2: flags=8863UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 address: 00:10:4b:ec:64:80 media: Ethernet 10baseT inet 192.168.3.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.3.255 inet6 fe80::210:4bff:feec:6480%ep2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 I've got IP forwarding enabled: bsdrouter# cat /etc/sysctl.conf net.inet.ip.forwarding=1# 1=Permit forwarding (routing) of packets Finally I've setup pf.conf: bsdrouter# cat /etc/pf.conf f=ep1 int_if=ep2 nat on $ext_if from !($ext_if) - ($ext_if:0) I rebooted the machine after the above network setup, and while I'm on the router I can see the 192.168.3.x network, the 172.16.x.x network, and the internet. But my Windows machines behind the firewall cannot reach beyond the firewall even though the OpenBSD router is set as the default gateway. On machines on the 172.16.x.x network, I can reach the router at 172.16.1.100 and the machines behind the router (if I add a route to the 172.16.x.x machines). Has anyone experienced this before?

Re: Linux Router

Woody CD Image
I downloaded the latest woody image this evening. I am used to seeing linux distributions in an iso image, but this came as a .raw file. I've used EasyCD Creator to make cds from .iso and .cif files, but I've never seen a .raw image. What utility on a Windows machine (I don't have a cdr on my debian machines) should I use to make a cd from the .raw file. Thanks in advance, Mike __ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Post linux 2.4.0 xdm problems
After upgrading to linux 2.4.0, I've noticed xdm is noticeably slower. For example, after the xdm screen, it takes almost exactly 1 minute to start WindowMaker. It used to almost immediate when I was running 2.2.18. I am using a Matrox G400 with 32 MB RAM. Other than the slow login, WindowMaker and X seem to work great. Thanks, Mike __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Linux 2.4.0 on Debian 2.2 R2
When I used dpkg to install the new modutils package, it gave me the option of installing a new /etc/modules file. If you choose yes, it gives you a basic /etc/modules files just with comments. You'll need to put in a line for each module you want loaded. For example, my /etc/modules looks like this: # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time 3c59x es1371 Thanks, Mike --- pplaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Michael Madden wrote: I'd written yesterday describing problems with linux 2.4.0, Debian 2.2 R2, and NE2000/3C509 NICS.

Kernel 2.4.0 on Debian 2.2 R2
I've got 2 Debian 2.2 R2 systems. One has a NE2000 ISA NIC, and the other one has a 3Com 3C509 ISA card. I've recently updated the kernel to 2.4.0, and I'm having a great deal of trouble getting the network cards working. When it is booting up I get errors indicating the device /dev/eth0 doesn't exist and it cannot load the module. I've confirmed the needed modules are compiled under /lib/modules/2.4.0/kernel/drivers/net. The NICs work wonderfully with the 2.2.18 kernel shipped Debian. Has anyone ran into similar problems?
