Since it shouts out

it is a signature! :-)

 I have used openssl and the keys it generates indicate that the file
 is a public key. And moreover, the key I created using openssl could
 encrypt very small documents. Can pgp keys do more than that.

There is no difference in the mathematics behind openssl keys and
pgp/gpg keys. However, the key management techniques are different.

The former depends on a chain of trust starting with a root
certifying authority. The latter depdns on a web of trust which
depends on (friend-of-a-friend)^n.

The newer (gnupg2) version of gnupg can handle SSL-based and PGP-based
protocols.

 create that an user cannot have
 an access to change the passwd.

Options:
a. As already suggested change permission to /usr/bin/passwd so that
   required groups alone execute. However, I am not sure what will happen if 
the user uses gui tools.

b. In my opinion easiest to set time limit to change password by
   the user to some large limit say 2 years so that password remains
   in tact.

  However, the whole idea is against basic security measures. What will happen 
if the password is known to some unauthorised third person?

Hi
I have come acrosss this  while searching for some info regarding
multipathing.

Kapil, i notice that this is a little old... are you still working with
this??
do you have an upgrade of this article?


The specifics i am looking are for multipathing across 2 disk arrays  and a
m looking for at least some of the features of Powerpath/ DMP
 from the FLOSS world

Thank you for reading.

Not really. The article is really about simple playing around with
combining block devices using the command dmsetup.

 m looking for at least some of the features of Powerpath/ DMP
  from the FLOSS world

I don't know Powerpath/DMP. In particular, I don't really know what
multipath means --- perhaps you can enlighten us! :-)

Note that dmsetup is a low-level utility. To do anything even
slightly complex with this it is best to use some tools which will
automate things and prevent lock-ups. Depending on your needs the
tools could be shell scripts, multipath-tools, lvm2 or evms.

Regards,

Kapil.

Multi-path is handled using 2 components: MPIO support from OS, and device (or
SAN controller) specific driver (aka DSM).

Linux requires the device mapper tools to handle multipathing inside the
kernel.  This is provided by the device mapper kernel modules.

The DSM is responsible for health checking of the IO path, you require the
appropriate DSMs for each SAN backend (eg EMC, HDS, etc).  DSM for several
storage vendors is already available in /sbin/mpath*.  The FOSS DSMs
provide round-robin, health checking, and group priority.  Vendor provided
DSMs (eg Powerpath) provide additional features, but don't enjoy community
backing.  I've used vendor provided DSMs (Powerpath, HDLM,etc) on Windows
only, and the FOSS/native drivers on Linux/Solaris.

Using the DSMs, a user space multipathd daemon periodically health checks the
LUNs and activates/removes the paths as necessary.

Here is the sample multipath output from one of my boxes:

[r...@treble sbin]# ./multipath -l
prod03 (360060e801082e30004d42473) dm-0 HITACHI,DF600F
[size=2.0T][features=0][hwhandler=0][rw]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][active]
 \_ 2:0:0:3 sdh 8:112 [active][undef]
\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled]
 \_ 4:0:0:3 sdg 8:96  [active][undef]

This server is running FOSS HDS dsm and shows first path as
active and second path as enabled.


 The specifics i am looking are for multipathing across 2 disk arrays  and a
 m looking for at least some of the features of Powerpath/ DMP
 from the FLOSS world

I'm not sure if it's advisable to multipath across two different SAN arrays.
At least I've never deployed anything in production like this!  Multipath
is typically done to a single SAN system with multiple controllers/fabrics/HBAs.

You would need to install the Python setuptools. But, again, you
