Package: samba Version: 3.0.14a-6 Severity: important Tags: patch
Hi, this also applies to the samba of the stable debian distri. samba uses many .tdb files, and there is a nice small tool within the package to dump those files, or check them. but there is no tool to dump them, rotate them .. if written a small shell script which should included in some cron. -------- samba-backup.sh --------- #!/bin/sh set -e PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin DIR=/var/lib/samba/ DATE=-`date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"` cd $DIR find /var/lib/samba -type f -name '*tdb' -print0 | xargs --null --no-run-if-empty tdbbackup -s $DATE FILES=`ls -1 $DIR | sed -e 's/\.tdb-.*//' | uniq` for d in $FILES; do keep --path $DIR --prefix $d --number 5 --reverse --null | xargs --null --no-run-if-empty rm keep --path $DIR --prefix $d --number 1 --reverse --null | xargs --null --no-run-if-empty gzip -q done ---------------------------------- a small ruby script, for cleanup.. ---------- keep ------------- #! /usr/bin/ruby require 'optparse' $NULL = nil $REVERSE = false $dir = nil $num_to_keep = 0 $prefix = nil def show_help(parser, code=0, io=STDOUT) io.puts parser exit(code) end ARGV.options do |opts| opts.on_tail("-h", "--help", "Display this help screen") { show_help(opts) } opts.on("-p", "--path=PATH", String, "path to cleanup") { |$dir| } opts.on("-n", "--number=NUMBER", Integer, "number of entries to keep") { |$num_to_keep| } opts.on("-x", "--prefix=PREFIX", String, "prefix of files") { |$prefix| } opts.on("-0", "--null", String, "terminate strings with zero") { $NULL = 1 } opts.on("-r", "--reverse", String, "process list reverse") { $REVERSE = true } opts.parse! end show_help(ARGV.options,1,STDERR) unless $num_to_keep show_help(ARGV.options,1,STDERR) if $num_to_keep < 1 show_help(ARGV.options,1,STDERR) unless $dir show_help(ARGV.options,1,STDERR) unless $prefix entries = Dir.glob($dir + '/' + $prefix+"*").sort if !$REVERSE then entries.reverse! end if entries.length < $num_to_keep exit end while entries.length > $num_to_keep unless $NULL then puts entries.pop else $> << entries.pop << "\0" end end ----------------- -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages samba depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.52 Debian configuration management sy ii libacl1 2.2.29-1.0.1 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 2.4.21-1.0.1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.38-1 common error description library ii libcupsys2-gnutls10 1.1.23-11 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libkrb53 1.3.6-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30-11 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam-modules 0.76-23 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.76-23 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-23 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii logrotate 3.7.1-1 Log rotation utility ii netbase 4.21 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii samba-common 3.0.14a-6 Samba common files used by both th samba recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
