Re: NFS + NIS madness
2011/11/27 Hetz Ben Hamo het...@gmail.com Hi, I have not had the pleasure of setting NFS + NIS for quite a long time (since 2000 approx), but now I need it for a client. I've set up a lab at home to test it before I deployed it. NFS mount works, no problems. However, with NIS when I login to the client, I see the files and everything, but the GID show for example as 500 instead of the actual test group. The user shows correctly. idmap etc works.. Any suggestions? Thanks, Hetz Did you tell your system to use groups from NIS in /etc/nsswitch.conf ? (might need to put 'nis' before 'compat' / 'files' if you want it to override a local equivalent value) -- Shimi ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Check NIS as a directory service (without even using it in nsswitch). Here is a quick checklist -- no use trying a step if previous one failed: * Verify ypbind is running via ps(1) * Verify it successfully bound to the NIS domain via ypwhich(1): - Failed binding is #1 error in NIS - Verify domainname(1) match (server/client) - Verify client access correct server (/etc/yp.conf) - Modern (90's) NIS servers don't answer RPC broadcasts (security) so you must specify the server in the clients /etc/yp.conf - Modern (90's) NIS servers only answer subnets listed in their /var/yp/securenets -- have you added yours to this file? * Verify it returns correct information via ypcat(1), ypmatch(1): - Enumeration: ypcat passwd Modern NIS server enumerate users/groups with id's above specific threshold (e.g: 500 and above), so system users should not be listed. Maybe your NIS server start above 1000. - Lookup (e.g: your vic user): ypmatch vic passwd * If any of these does not work correctly, you need to fix NIS configuration -- don't try to debug nsswitch until all these tests are OK. 2. Only if all items in 1. passed OK, check its integration in NSS (name service switch): * Verify enumeration: - getent passwd * Verify lookup: - getent passwd vic * Or equivalently: - id vic * If previous items in 2. weren't OK, but items on 1. were OK, you have a problem in /etc/nsswitch.conf: - The simplest config is to have files nis in the lines of passwd, shadow and group - A compat line in those three lines serves a special form of files where special lines in these files can (selectively) include data from NIS. Examples: +oron # include only oron's record from NIS +@foobar # include everybody from netgroup (NOT group) foobar -badguy # Obviously + # Everybody (except badguy -- line order affect results) - This means that a passwd: files nis in /etc/nsswitch.conf is equivalent to passwd: compat with a '+' in the end of /etc/passwd.

What's the best way to sync two laptops?
I now have two laptops which I'll use somewhat interchangeably. What's a good way to sync work between them? My main job is teaching, so I have many teaching notes and other documents. Dropbox might be a good way to sync these. I'm going to be doing some 3D design so I'll have inkscape and blender files as well. Dropbox again, I think. What about browsing stuff? History, passwords, bookmarks. I use Vimperator, which has such a good history mechanism I rarely use bookmarks but rely heavily on history. I could put my entire .mozilla directory in Dropbox. In fact I could put all my . files (cshrc, vimrc, etc.) How do you prefer to handle mail? Do you prefer to keep it on the server or on your local computer? If local, how do you sync multiple computers? If remote, how do you work with past messages when offline? Up to now I've downloaded my gmail to my laptop and not deleted on the server. That gives me a local copy to work with if I have no Internet access, as well as an online backup I can access via my cellphone. Sent email is stored only on my laptop, meaning I don't have access to it when I'm away from my laptop. I've always felt this was not an ideal situation, but fixing this was not a high priority. Keeping everything on the server means I'll run out of space eventually, and keeping a local copy means I consume space on my hard drive. Concrete suggestions as well as your own personal experience and methods will be most appreciated. Years ago I remember reading about someone who had everything checked in to CVS, including all his email. This allowed him to sync his computer at home, work, elsewhere using CVS. Interesting solution. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

I'm going to be doing some 3D design so I'll have inkscape and blender files as well. Dropbox again, I think. Sounds like a winner, yes. I use Dropbox sporadically to make some useful files (e.g. my password safe) available across my computers, including my Android phone. What about browsing stuff? History, passwords, bookmarks. I use Vimperator, which has such a good history mechanism I rarely use bookmarks but rely heavily on history. I could put my entire .mozilla directory in Dropbox. In fact I could put all my . files (cshrc, vimrc, etc.) Firefox (7, 8?) comes with sync option. Try that. How do you prefer to handle mail? Do you prefer to keep it on the server or on your local computer? If local, how do you sync multiple computers? If remote, how do you work with past messages when offline? I use Gmail through its web interface for personal mail, and Thunderbird 8 to access workplace Exchange over IMAP. You can use IMAP for GMail too and keep local copies of the entire folder if you like. Up to now I've downloaded my gmail to my laptop and not deleted on the server. That gives me a local copy to work with if I have no Internet access, as well as an online backup I can access via my cellphone. Sent email is stored only on my laptop, meaning I don't have access to it when I'm away from my laptop. You can configure the mail client (Thunderbird in my case) to keep copies of sent mail in different ways: upload to Sent IMAP folder or BCC yourself. Read The Funny Manual.

If you go with dropbox, you may find yourself creating an awful lot of symlinks to get everything you want synchronized. I personally prefer SpiderOak; same basic idea, but a lot more customizeable. They claim client side encryption with no keys stored on the server; the codebase is not open source so it's hard to tell for sure, but they talk a better talk than DropBox.
