[PLUG] Having trouble with MS-DFS still...

[michael]

I tried googling for MS-DFS client and got a ton of information about 
setting up Samba as a DFS server, but nothing about being a client.

[PLUG] Does NOOBS 2.4.4...

[michael]

Download Raspbian Stretch off the Internet?  I'm talking about the full, 
not the lite version of NOOBs.
It is critical that NOOBs NOT access the Internet, but the Raspberry Pi 
3 has built in wifi that
you can't disable during install.  I thought to download anything that 
I'd have to click on wifi
and authenticate to a wifi network, but I see Downloading and extracting 
nonetheless and it is taking

a long time...

[PLUG] Create a Raspbian Stretch mirror on a CentOS 7 server...

[michael]

I've found instructions on how to do this on a Debian based server, but 
not a CentOS 7 based one.


I know I will need ~70G.  I will likely want to fetch updates in an 
automated way as well.


I work for a small company where it is a terrible waste of bandwidth to 
install Stretch over the Internet

to multiple Raspberries simultaneously.

Has anyone setup a local Debian 9 mirror on a CentOS 7 server or do I 
have to think about installing Stretch in a virtual machine???

Re: [PLUG] Create a Raspbian Stretch mirror on a CentOS 7 server...

[Ben Koenig]

I haven't spent much time with debian recently, so take this with a grain
of salt... but

See https://www.debian.org/mirror/

My understanding is that a debian "repository" is just a bunch of files
accessible via http or ftp. The real work would be handled by the client
package manager. The website I linked has a few scripts and I would be
suprised if they required debian.

Most distros just list packages in a folder and serve it up via a web
server. Point your ras pi's to the http://my.website.com/path/to/repo/root
during install, and if you properly mirrored the directory structure it
just kinda works. Theoretically, hopefully a debian user will correct me if
I'm wrong ;-)
Hope this points you in a useful direction.

[PLUG] THUSDAY PLUG: Upgrading your business phone system with Asterisk

[Michael Dexter]

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement

Who: Ted Mittelstaedt
What: Upgrading your business phone system with Asterisk
Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)
When: Thursday, April 5th, 2018 at 7pm
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom
Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live

Upgrading your business phone system with Asterisk

Most medium to larger businesses use central PBX phone systems to save 
money on telephone lines. Over the last decade the business PBX has 
gradually evolved towards Voice over IP hardware and away from 
traditional digital phones. Proprietary VoIP PBX systems such as 
Panasonic, Cisco and Mitel are available but costly. This presentation 
will cover how companies can take advantage of open standards such as 
SIP and LDAP and software such as Asterisk to have an inexpensive PBX 
that has features of the large, expensive and proprietary systems. An 
Asterisk system will be demonstrated and used as a sample system for the 
presentation.

Re: [PLUG] Having trouble with MS-DFS still...

[Tyrell Jentink]

I'm not convinced there IS anything different on the client side... The
whole point of DFS seems to be to abstract away all of the client side
complications that come with multiple SMB servers in an Enterprise. In
other words... It appears to be an entirely server-side solution.

OK, I am going to have to suggest a very not-Unix next step: You're gonna
have to set up a Windows Server lab...

I have a Windows Server 2008 license lying around, and I know Microsoft
offers free trial WS2008 images on their website, so this is going to be
focused on that... Although, I'm sure Google can help find similar guides
for other Windows versions...

First, here's a nice Microsoft blog introducing the idea at hand:
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/josebda/2009/03/10/the-basics-of-the-windows-server-2008-distributed-file-system-dfs/

Then read the TechNet:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753479.aspx

Then use this step-by-step to setup a virtual swarm of Windows servers:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc737358(v=ws.10)

Then set up a nice clean Windows 8 install with a free trial license, and
connect to it... My GUESS is that it will connect exactly the same as it
would to a single server... I may also expect the client to connect to the
individual "Target folders" directly if they so choose... I don't know how
to block them.

Once you confirm that works... Then set up a nice clean Linux image and
repeat the tests. I would expect it to also connect without noticable
difference to connecting to a single SMB server. You may also be able to
connect to individual "Target Shares" directly. Again, no idea how to block
that...

I would try it all myself, cuz this looks kinda neat, but I don't like the
idea of using Windows in a production environment, so I guess it doesn't
look REALLY neat... So it's hard to motivate myself :/
