Instalation with Kickstart

2008-11-24T02:01:00.000-08:00

kickstart installations can be performed using a local CD-ROM, a local hard drive, or via NFS, FTP, or HTTP.

To use kickstart, you must:

1. Create a kickstart file.
2. Create a boot diskette with the kickstart file or make the kickstart file available on the network.
3. Make the installation tree available.
4. Start the kickstart installation.

fallowing this step:
1. mkdir –p /config/kickstart

2.Configure you NFS
vi /etc/exports
/config/kickstart *(ro,no_squash_root)

3. Run NFS
/etc/init.d/portmap restart
/etc/init.d/nfs restart
if you have any change your configuration run this command
exportfs –ra

4.Run Kicstart configuration
system-config-kickstart
(basic instalation, bootloader, partition, networking, authentication, firewall,
Xwindow, packet, etc)

5.Save Configuration
Klik File | save as => ks.cfg
mcopy ks.cfg a:

6. Now try boot with usb.floppy or disk
linux ks=floppy
linux ks=hd:fd0:/ks.cfg
linux ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg
ks=nfs:

2008-11-24T00:40:00.000-08:00

Once you have set the IP address you can access the printer or print server using the ipp, lpd, or socket backends. The following is a list of common network interfaces and printer servers and the settings you should use with CUPS:

http://hostname:631/ipp/
http://hostname:631/ipp/port1

ipp://hostname/ipp/
ipp://hostname/ipp/port1

lpd://hostname/queue

socket://hostname
socket://hostname:9100

Let's we start to configure cups server :
1.open your browser and type url http://localhost:631 or http://ip-address:631
2.Klik Add Printer
3.Entry printer name(exp:pr) location and decription.
4.Choose your printer device

5.Choose Make/Manufakture your printer
6.Choose Model/Driver for printer
7.Enter username and Password for cups (exp: username:root password:1234)
8.Set printer option

9.Set as default for this printer
10.Print test page

Configuration for client cups:
1.open your browser and type url http://localhost:631 or http://ip-address:631/pr
2.Klik Add Printer
3.Entry printer name, location and decription.
4.Choose your printer device (you can use http exp: http://ip-adress-server/printers/pr

5.Choose Make/Manufakture your printer
6.Choose Model/Driver for printer
7.Enter username and Password for cups (exp: username:root password:password)

Quota user in Linux

2008-11-16T20:19:00.000-08:00

For the implementation of disk quotas follow these steps:

1.Check whether your hard drive / and /home one partition or no.

1.Edit file /etc/fstab
/dev/hda5 /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2

2. Make files db quota
touch /home/aquota.user
touch /home/aquota.group

3.Remount File System
mount -oremount /home

4.Make table current disk usage per file system
quotacheck -vug /home -m

5.quotaon
quotaon -vug /home

6.List quota
repquota -a

7. Make quota per user
setquota -u very 100000 110000 0 0 -a

have i nice try.

Instalation linux with NFS

2008-11-10T04:02:00.000-08:00

NFS Configuration
Choose a directory in which to place the CD ISO images. For /media/cdrom, we'll call the directory /mnt/cdrom.

Export that directory via NFS
Do all this as user root. Once the install CD's are properly loaded in the directory, that directory must be made available on the local network. Add the following to /etc/exports:

vi /etc/exports

/mnt/cdrom 192.168.1.0/24 localhost(ro)

mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom

mount -t iso9660 -o ro /media/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

/etc/init.d/portmap restart
/etc/init.d/nfs start

test nfs for localhost

mkdir /mnt/nfs

mount -t nfs localhost:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/nfs

Now, you cek nfs for network

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.110:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/nfs

if mount success, then you make diskboot.

cd /mnt/cdrom/images

dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sda1

client
you must setting BIOS to firstboot to USB or Floppy, if its ok you type commnad :
boot: linux askmethod

If that command fails, or if you can't see the files and directories inside /mnt/cdrom, then something's wrong and you need to troubleshoot before moving on to the next step.
Check that you're not blocked by iptables
The iptables software relies on portmap to map some ports at high addresses. These high ports can change each time iptables is restarted. Therefore, these high ports can be blocked by the client machine's firewall, preventing NFS access. The solution is:

1. Force the high port to be known
2. Fix the firewall to pass these ports

Diagnosing the Problem
If you can't mount NFS shares and can't figure out why, try mounting them from localhost on the share host:

mount -t nfs -o ro localhost:/media/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

If the preceding works whereas mounts from other hosts do not, it's an excellent indication that you're firewall blocking your NFS. To really make sure, *very temporarily* create an overly permissive firewall. If the NFS mounting problem goes away, you have an iptables problem that can be fixed with iptables configuration.

Creation of an overly permissive firewall is described later in this article.
Finding or Creating Your iptables Configuration File
The usual config file for iptables is /etc/sysconfig/iptables., but it could be elsewhere. To find the location of the iptables configuration file, look in /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables at the code in save(). This code contains an environment variable set to the intended location of the config file. On Mandy 9 boxes this is called $IPTABLES_CONFIG. Next look through /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables to determine how that variable is set. In Mandy 9.0 it's set near the top of the file. Once you know the intended config file, you can look for it, and if it doesn't exist, you can create it.

Instead, the boot process builds up iptablescommand by command. In my opinion having the config file is much easier for troubleshooting. So if you don't have /etc/sysconfig/iptables, your first step is to create it.

WARNING

ALWAYS make absolutely sure there's no existing iptables config file before creating one, because overwriting your existing firewall is a terrible thing.

If you're sure you don't have a config file (look elsewhere besides /etc/sysconfig/iptables), use the following command to create one:

service iptables restart
service iptables save

The first command restarts iptables, putting it in a known state. The second writes the config file.

service iptables save

Don't create an overly permissive firewall if you're in an extremely hostile environment. Either disconnect the machine from the main network and test it with a small one not connected to the Internet (i.e. null modem cable or equivalent), or perform more troubleshooting steps to determine the nature of the problem without undue exposure to crackers.

Edit your firewall config file (probably /etc/sysconfig/iptables). Go to the filter chain, which starts with the string *filter. Right above the first -Aline in the filter chain, insert the following line:

[0:0] -A INPUT -j ACCEPT

The preceding line tells the filter chain to accept all packets from everywhere. Restart iptables and try your mount again. If it succeeds, you've toggled the symptom with the client firewall, so now you know where to troubleshoot.

To foil script kiddies, IMMEDIATELY remove the line you just inserted.
Allowing NFS Through Your Client Firewall
Your first step is to view the output of rpcinfo to see what ports you're using. The session might look something like this:

rpcinfo -p 192.168.100.2
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100021 1 udp 32886 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 32886 nlockmgr
100021 4 udp 32886 nlockmgr
100011 1 udp 808 rquotad
100011 2 udp 808 rquotad
100011 1 tcp 811 rquotad
100011 2 tcp 811 rquotad
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100005 1 udp 32888 mountd
100005 1 tcp 33448 mountd
100005 2 udp 32888 mountd
100005 2 tcp 33448 mountd
100005 3 udp 32888 mountd
100005 3 tcp 33448 mountd
[root@mydesk root]#

In the preceding notice that the mountd daemon is assigned two different ports. Restart nfs, run rpcinfo again, and you'll likely see the ports change. The changes are due to the actions of the portmapper program. I think you'll agree that makes firewalling somewhat challenging.

The simplest solution is to hard code the mountd ports to a specific value. To do this, ON THE NFS SERVERedit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfsscript.

One solution is to create a script that grep's the output of the rpcinfo command, turns the mountd lines into iptables commands, and updates iptables. Workable, but a challenge, especially because each time you rerun the command you must remove the iptables lines from the previous run. An

Create one or more NFS aware boot floppies
WARNING

When using the dd command to write to device /dev/fd0, always wait until the command finishes AND the floppy light goes out before removing the floppy.

NOTE

If you have trouble finding reliable floppy media, you can Use the floppy image to create a bootable CD equivalent to the bootable floppy.

On most distros, the first CD contains a directory called images. This directory contains various images to make bootable floppies. Place a known good, write enabled floppy in the server's drive, and make your boot floppies:

umount /mnt/cdrom
mount -o loop,ro /media/cdrom/rh8iso /mnt/cdrom
dd if=/mnt/images/bootnet.img of=/dev/fd0

umount /mnt/cdrom
dd if=//images/network.img of=/dev/fd0

Primary Domain Controller (PDC)

2008-10-22T02:06:00.000-07:00

Primary Domain Controller (PDC) is a server computer in a pre-Windows 2000 NT server Domain. A domain is a concept used in NT server operating systems whereby a user may be granted access to a number of computer resources with the use of a single username and password combination.

Such domains have at least a Primary Domain Controller, and will often have one or more Backup Domain Controllers (BDCs). The PDC has the master copy of the user accounts database which it can access and modify. The BDC computers have a copy of this database, but these copies are read-only. The PDC will replicate its account database to the BDCs on a regular basis. The BDCs exist in order to provide a backup to the PDC, and can also be used to authenticate users logging on to the network. If a PDC should fail, one of the BDCs can then be promoted to take its place. The PDC will usually be the first domain controller that was created unless it was replaced by a promoted BDC.

In later releases of Windows, such as Windows 2000, NT 4 type domains have been superseded by Active Directory. In Active Directory domains, the concept of Primary and Backup Domain Controllers doesn't exist. Instead, the domain controllers in these domains are all considered to be equal in that all controllers have full access to the accounts databases stored on their machines.

However, in these later releases of Windows, an Active Directory FSMO role named PDC emulator master does exist in each domain. This PDC emulator master does not have the same special role in replication as the Primary Domain Controller in pre-Windows 2000 systems, but does have certain additional responsibilities:

* The PDC emulator master acts in place of the Primary Domain Controller if there are Windows NT 4.0 domain controllers (BDCs) remaining within the domain, acting as a source for them to replicate from.
* The PDC emulator master receives preferential replication of password changes within the domain. As password changes take time to replicate across all the domain controllers in an Active Directory domain, the PDC emulator master receives notification of password changes immediately, and if a logon attempt fails at another domain controller, that domain controller will forward the logon request to the PDC emulator master before rejecting it.
* The PDC emulator master also serves as the machine to which all domain controllers in the domain will synchronise their clocks. It, in turn, should be configured to synchronise to an external NTP time source.

PDC has been faithfully recreated on the Samba emulation of Microsoft's SMB client/server system.

bootloader in linux

2008-10-22T01:04:00.000-07:00

Boot loader in linux

The boot loader phase varies by platform. Since the earlier phases are not specific to the OS, the boot process is considered to start:

* For x86 or x86-64: when the partition boot sector code is executed in real mode and loads the first stage boot loader (typically a part of LILO or GRUB).

From that point, the boot process continues as follows:

The first stage boot loader loads the remainder of the boot loader, which typically gives a prompt asking which operating system (or type of session) the user wishes to initialize. Under LILO, this is done via the map installer which reads the configuration file /etc/lilo.conf to identify the available systems. It includes data such as boot partition and kernel location for each, as well as customized options if any. Upon selection, the appropriate kernel is loaded into RAM memory as an image file ("initrd"), and along with the appropriate parameters, control is passed to it.

LILO and GRUB differ in some ways:

* LILO does not understand file systems, so it uses raw disk offsets and the BIOS for data load. It loads the menu code, and then depending on the response loads either the 512 byte disk sectors for an MBR system such as Microsoft Windows, or the kernel image for Linux.
* GRUB by contrast does have understanding of the common ext2 and ext3 file systems. Because GRUB stores its data in a configuration file rather than the MBR and contains a command line interface, it is often easier to rectify or modify GRUB if misconfigured or corrupt.

GRUB

Source: Red Hat GRUB description.

1. The first stage loader is read by the BIOS from the MBR (master boot record).
2. The first stage loads the rest of the boot loader (second stage). If the second stage is on a large drive, sometimes an intermediate 1.5 stage is loaded, which contains extra code to allow cylinders above 1024, or LBA type drives, to be read. The 1.5 boot loader is stored (if needed) in the MBR or the boot partition.
3. The second stage boot loader executes, and displays the GRUB startup menu. It also allows choice of operating environment, and examination of system parameters.
4. When an operating system is chosen, it is loaded and control is passed.

GRUB supports both direct and chain-loading boot methods, LBA, ext2, and "a true command-based, pre-OS environment on x86 machines". It contains three interfaces: a selection menu, a configuration editor, and a command line console.

LILO

LILO, the older of the two boot loaders, is almost identical to GRUB in process, except that it does not contain a command line interface. Thus all changes must be made to its configuration and written to the MBR, and then the system restarted. An error in configuration can therefore leave a disk unable to be booted without use of a separate boot device (floppy disk etc) containing a program capable of fixing this. Additionally it does not understand file systems, instead locations of image files are stored within the MBR directly and the BIOS is used to access them directly.

Loadlin

Yet another way to boot Linux is from DOS or Windows 9x, where the Linux kernel completely replaces the running copy of this operating system. This can be useful in the case of hardware which needs to be switched on via software and for which such configuration programs are only available for DOS, whereas not for Linux, those being proprietary to the manufacturer and kept an industry secret. This tedious booting method is less necessary nowadays, as Linux has drivers for a multitude of hardware devices, but it used to be helpful in the past.
Another case is when the Linux is located on a storage device which is not available to the BIOS for booting: DOS or Windows can load the appropriate drivers to make up for the BIOS limitation, and boot Linux from there.

simple manual linux

2008-10-22T00:39:00.000-07:00

In Linux, the flow of control during a boot is from BIOS, to boot loader, to kernel. The kernel then starts the scheduler (to allow multi-tasking) and runs Init (which sets up the user environment and allows user interaction and login), at which point the kernel goes idle unless called externally.

In detail:

1. The BIOS performs hardware-platform specific startup tasks
2. Once the hardware is recognized and started correctly, the BIOS loads and executes the partition boot code from the designated boot device, which contains phase 1 of a Linux boot loader. Phase 1 loads phase 2 (the bulk of the boot loader code). Some loaders may use an intermediate stage to achieve this (known as phase 1.5) since modern large disks may not be fully readable without further code.
3. The boot loader often presents the user with a menu of possible boot options. It then loads the kernel, which decompresses into memory, and sets up system functions such as essential hardware and memory paging, before calling start_kernel().
4. start_kernel() then performs the majority of system setup (interrupts, the rest of memory management, device initialization, drivers, etc) before spawning separately, the idle process and scheduler, and the Init process (which is executed in user space).
5. The scheduler effectively takes control of the system management, as the kernel goes dormant .
6. The Init process executes scripts as needed that set up all non-kernel services and structures in order to allow a user environment to be created, and then presents the user with a login screen.

On shutdown, Init is called to close down all user space functionality in a controlled manner, again via scripted directions, following which Init terminates and the Kernel executes its own shutdown.
