Re: network backups with tar
Hi all,
Thanks for the input thus far.
I forgot to mention that I had a working solution by piping the output of a
find command
to cpio, which creates an archive file on the other server. The problem is
that the recipient
server keeps asking me for a friggin' password, which means I have to
babysit my backups
rather than be able to run them from the cron system. Is there a way I can
set up the
machines so that the root password between these two machines in a LAN does
not get
asked for, or alternatively find a way to specify a username and password on
the
command line ?
(Yes, I know that is not safe ...)
BTW, when I run the command
# tar cvzf - /tmp/testdir | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'cat > ~/backup.tgz'
It asks me for a password, and when I type the correct root password in, ( I
logged into the 'sending'
server as root ) , it tells me "Permission denied, please try again".
I have spent literally weeks looking for a simple easy-to-use tool that can
run on RH 8 and RH 7
which has the following characteristics:
1) Does not need a GUI
2) Relatively simple to setup and use
3) Can backup to a network drive, WITHOUT user intervention.
4) Can be run in the task scheduler
5) Can compress archives
6) Allows you to backup directories as well as filesystems. ( Unlike dump !)
Ideally, I want to use tools that are already apart of the system, but I am
willing
to compromise. ( I will look into using 'flexbackup' , which someone
suggested )

RH8 - Sendmail Problems
Hi all... Sorry if any of this has been covered. I tried to search the archives, but didn't see it. I am running RH8 on a 600mhz PIII desktop with tons of disk and RAM. I'd like to be able to receive email directly on that box (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) so I opened up SMTP on the firewall. The computer, however, is refusing email inbound from other hosts. If I nmap the computer, I see that port 25 is 'up' by in status closed. I have read on the Sendmail homepage's FAQ that RH7.1 and later includes a client only version of sendmail and to refer to RH's info on how to reconfig. I went to RH's site and read two documents @ www.redhat.com/support/resources/mail_news/mail.html but still haven't found an answer. So the following questions linger: 1) Is there an easy way to tweak sendmail to allow inbound mail from outside the localhost TO addresses on the localhost? 2) If there isn't, I've considered installing procmail or qmail instead... Anyone have any experience with these (good/bad)? 3) According to both the procmail and qmail FAQs, they may not play nice on machines that had sendmail installed as the default MTA and that removing sendmail may cause the OS to balk. Anyone have anything to respond to that? Feel free to reply by email or post.

vmware: problem accessing host with samba
I've been reading this list for a while but this is the first time that I post a question. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. Forgive me if it's not. I've installed VMware 3.2 in my RH 8.0 box. I've also installed the patch needed for VMware. Everything works fine except this: Accesing host files with samba from the virtual machine (win 98) is very slow. I use host's samba server, not vmware's. I've tried both bridged and host-only, but the problem is the same. In bridged mode I can access another samba server (RH 7.3) with no problem. If I do the exactly the same in the other machine (RH 7.3 - VMvare 3.1) there is no problem. So I guess it may have something to do with hardware. I've also tried stoping this server, so there is no conflict. I've been searching for some information through google but I have not seen anything like it anywhere. I'd apreciate any suggestions you can make or any places I could search for help.

Re: network backups with tar
I am thinking about this purely from my UnixWare 7 experience. Trying to set up trusted hosts on UnixWare 7 was achievable, except that you could not set up trusted access with the root account across the two servers. I suspect that similar applies for Linux. I am not sure about the SSH only being available in one direction though. I assure you that out of everyone on this list, my knowledge is pretty pathetic. Pretty soon I will be getting an award for being the dumbest user on the list. ;) Pity there isn't a backup solution for dummies.

I would create a ssh public key pair with a null password.

Per your request, SSH without passwords
Here's a page from my system documentation that gives a step-by-step how to. (To the hackers lurking on this list, I do NOT do this on systems accessible from the internet, only those inside the firewalls.) 7.00 Using SSH and SCP without passwords 7.10 From a Linux system To use ssh or scp between Linux systems without using a password, you must have the authorization files in place on both systems. Use this procedure to get the files generated and copied to the correct locations. Be VERY aware of the source and destination systems as you read through this documentation. Log in to host you want to connect FROM as user you want to be when connect-ING # cd .ssh # ssh-keygen -t rsa # scp id_rsa.pub :/root/.ssh/from- Log in to host you want to connect TO as user you want to be when connect-ED # ssh @ # cd .ssh If there is an existing authorized_keys2 file... # cat from- >> authorized_keys2 If there is no file yet... # mv from- authorized_keys2 # chmod 600 authorized_keys2 >From now on, these commands will not require a password: ssh @ scp : To add another target system, do not re-generate the keys! This will invalidate the keys you already have in place. Simply copy the id_rsa.pub file to the new target system and continue with the procedure as listed above. 7.20 From a Windows system To use Putty to automatically authenticate to Linux systems, you must create keys from your system using Puttygen, and then run the Putty authentication agent, Pagent, to load the keys for Putty to use. To generate a set of keys for your system, start the Puttygen application, and click the Generate button. Move your mouse around in the blank area to generate random noise which is the encryption seed. After a few seconds you will see Puttygen create your key set. In the Key comment field, type your network login name. This is simply for identification of the key, it is not used for authentication or identification of the user. Underneath the Key comment field, you can enter a pass phrase to encrypt your private key, or leave the entries blank to store the key unencrypted. The public keys are never encrypted since they are truly public information. Next, save the two keys in a secure location. Save your private key as your network login name with a .pri extension, and your public key with a .pub extension. Finally, copy the public key from the top of the window into the clipboard for pasting in the next step. Use SSH to log into a remote Linux system as the user you want to use without a password. Change to the .ssh directory. # cd .ssh Edit the authorized_keys2 file. # pico authorized_keys2 Paste the key from the clipboard to the end of the file by clicking the right mouse button inside the Putty window. Make sure the key you just pasted is on its own line. Save the file and exit. IMPORTANT!!! Verify the permissions are correct on the file. # chmod 600 authorized_keys2 You can now log out of the Linux system. Now configure Pagent to start automatically. Create a shortcut to the pagent.exe program in your startup menu folder. Edit the properties and make the Target entry look like this: "C:\Program Files\putty\pageant.exe" "C:\Program Files\putty\" Note the double-quotes around two separate sections. You should only have to enter the second section. Save the properties and execute the shortcut. You should see a computer with a hat in your system tray next to the clock. Right-click on the pagent icon and choose View keys. You should see your private key listed. Finally, set up Putty to use the keys you have created. Start Putty and Load, but do not open, the profile for the system you copied your public key to above. In the left pane, click on SSH. Click the radio button to chose SSH protocol version 2. Click on Auth, just below the SSH item on the left. Click on the Browse button to locate and double-click on your private key file. Very important! Click on Session in the left pane and click Save or your edits here will be lost. To log in to the system, click Open. You may get a dialog about a new fingerprint. That's OK, accept it. Enter the username you used above. You should not be asked for a password, it should load the security key from the agent and allow you in. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/20/03 10:57AM >>> Toni Erdmann writes > > > ssh can be configured to run without passwords, just with secret keys > and trusted host/users.

RE: network backups with tar
I am not sure if this helps any or has been answered before but here goes: Create a keypair 'ssh-keygen' as root on the machine you are running the tar command on. Then place the public part of the keypair, i.e. id_dsa.pub, in the file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on the target machine. You can ssh to the target machine without having to supply a password. See the man pages for 'ssh' 'ssh-keygen' paying special attention to the permissions required on the ~/.ssh directories on both machines. With publc/privated keypairs properly setup you can securely ssh to any machine without passwords..even to running Xwindows applications over a secure connection. > > Ryan McDougall writes > > > > > > I don't suppose there is a way to supply the root > passwpord on the > > > > command line? this would be great, because I could > then run this > > > > command in the task scheduler > > > > Not sure if this would work but, can you do a > > root:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]:password ?

Re: network backups with tar
I use the following structure: On the server where I store the backup files I created a user "backup". Then as the user backup on that machine I did "ssh-keygen". The program askes for the key name. I use the default name ( key gets stored in ~/.ssh/id_dsa; public key in ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub). On the question for a password, just type . Then you don't have to use a password on the system to be backed-up. Be sure the home directory of the user backup is not group- and world writable, otherwise key-authentication doesn't work. Also be sure the "~/.ssh"-directory has mode 700. Further I copied the file ~/.ssh/id_dsa to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. This way the backup user accepts login authentication with the private key made in the previous step. Then I copied the file ~/.ssh/id_dsa to the system to be backed-up and renamed it there to /root/.ssh/backup. To check if everything works login on the system to be backed-up as root. Then type: ssh -i /root/.ssh/backup backup@. Now you should get a $-prompt on the backup server without being asked for a password. If this works your up and running. To backup your system or directory, login on the machine to be backed-up as root or make an entry to the root crontab or etc.. Type: tar cvf - | ssh -i /root/.ssh/backup backup@ "dd of=/.tar" and the process starts. A real life example would be: cd /home tar cvf - . | ssh -i /root/.ssh/backup [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd of=homedir.tar" I haven't thought of any real security flaws in this process. Well another user having the private key could delete your backup file. But this can be prevented by moving it to a more secure place after the backup is finished. Because you use ssh it is even save to do the backup over the insecure internet. Hope this is of help, Koos.

The answer is checkinstall. See the checkinstall web site: http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ Is not only can build rpms from source, but also slackware tgz and debian debs.

I haven't mucked with that file at all on my system so, if you'd like, contact me off the list and I can send you mine (give me the exact path so I don't send you the KDE one or something by mistake, okay?).

Something I've always been curious about is, why are people secretive about a publicly registered domain, that they are asking help about? ie [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are things that we can do (ping, dig, traceroute, nmap, host) to help, without having to ask, if we have that.

[OT] HyperSCSI
Well, it was a success today! I've got 3 systems I'm playing with. One is a dual Xeon workstation with an IDE drive as the OS drive, and a SCSI Ultra-320 drive for "data". OS is Red Hat 8.0 GPL, kernel is 2.4.18-24.8.0 (from Red Hat). One is a dual Xeon 2u rack server. One Ultra-160 harddrive for the OS, one Ultra-160 harddrive for "data". OS is Red Hat 8.0 GPL, kernel is 2.4.18-24.8.0 (from Red Hat). The third system is a single p4 system, 2u rack, 2 Ultra-160 disks for the OS. On the first 2 systems, I have installed the HyperSCSI rpms (rebuilt for SMP), and configured them both to share out the "data" drive, as part of the "pogolan" group. No partition table is on either of these drives. On the 3'rd system, I installed the HyperSCSI rpm, and configured it as a client, of the "pogolan" group. The client was able to see 2 disks, /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd. On the client, I created LVM physical volumes on both /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd. Then I created an LVM Volume Group, "pogolan", that included both /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd. I then created an LVM Logical Volume, "pogo_lan" that took up the entire space of the Volume Group. (30~ megs, from 2 18gig drives, one in each of the 2 "server" systems). I then created an ext3 file system on /dev/pogolan/pogo_lan. I was then able to mount /dev/pogolan/pogo_lan to /mnt/pogolan and write data to it!! Initial hdparm readings are pretty good. -t gives ~8MB/s transfer rate. -T gives over 300MB/s. Keep in mind, this is on an existing 10/100Mb/s hubbed network, with plenty of traffic. I've effectively reached the limit of the network, and I will have to move to a GigE network to get full speeds. This is all very cool to me. I'm now trying to research the supposed failover capability of HyperSCSI so that I can configure an entire system as a failover system, for decent redundancy. I'm also looking into using Red Hat Advanced Server on 2 client systems so that I can have a HA failover cluster for serving NFS/SMB off of the LVM volumes. I also want to try adding in another HyperSCSI server, and extending the LVM Volume Group and perhaps extending some of the LVM LV's or adding new LV's to the group. All in all, I have to say that HyperSCSI was VERY easy to setup, and I'm looking forward to setting up some advanced storage clusters using HyperSCSI technology. One would assume that you could put OpenGFS on top of the shared disks. The only catch is that HyperSCSI can not be a server and a client at the same time. Any who, if anybody is interested, I can try to setup OpenGFS on these systems and let you know the results. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?

French OO build
Hi, I am putting together a PC for my old school in France. It's based on RH8.0. The Open Office version I downloaded from the French OO web site crashes 'unrecoverably' at start up. My research indicates that this is because Psyche is using an incompatible glibc. The OO that comes with Psyche works fine. There is a localizing rpm - but I have no idea how to use it to get my OO working in French. Does anyone know how to use it? Alternatively I'd have to recompile the lot. Feasible but daunting (I am programmer so I'll be OK doing that - but it will take around 40 hours on that PII 266...) Sorry to dump this on the list but I am not sure where to turn to for help.

I get an error message syaing operation not permitted. However, if add hdd=ide-scsi as kernel parm then I DMA is set. However, players do not see the drive correctly. Anyone have clues where to start looking to solve this issue? edit /etc/modules.conf and set "options ide-cd dma=1" When you use ide-scsi, it becomes a scsi interface. Starting at /dev/scd0 for the first scsi CD, /dev/scd1 for the second, so on and so forth. Thanks, I give that a try. I know that the drive get remapped to /dev/scd1. But Xine can not deal with it. Without hdd=ide-scsi, I get horrible perfromance and it will not allow me to set DMA on via hdparm. I was also going to try kernel parm ide1=dma. See if that helps. I also read that perhaps I should set both drives to master. Do not set one to be the salve of the other. I would think that would cause issues for the bios. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Just re-map the symlink of /dev/dvd to point to /dev/scd0 (or 1 or whatever your DVD drive is now) -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?

Re: DMA DVD/CD-ROM Issues
I did. It blows up. xine-check even says it will when setup in scsi emulation. I will try your previous solution. See if that helps. Thanks again.
