Grant access from machines to be backed up (clients) to the server without password (with public key (http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/02/05/unattended-ssh-login-public-key-ssh-authorization-ssh-automatic-login/) ) 2. Create a backup script (bash is a good friend in this time) 3. Configure script to run via crontab (as you wish (man crontab)) These are the basic stuff. The process i do here is : 1. (on the client) TAR+BZIP2 files (even mysqldumps) with name structure : dir--.tar.bz2 or mysql-- .tar.bz2 2. (on the client) Using a simple bash script, i do rsync to specified folders : rsync -avz /dir-* bkpuser at backup-machine:/data/diretorios/ rsync -avz /mysql-* bkpuser at backup-machine:/data/mysql/ rm -rf /* 3. (on the server) Configure a check script to know if it had problem : if [ "`ls | grep | wc -l "` != "125" ]; then echo "there's a backup problem" | mail -s "Backup scheduler" fi; That's all... I have some diffs an deltas backups too, just "man rsync" to know more parameters of rsync. Cheers, F?bio Rampazzo Mathias --- Hospital A.C.

One of the reasons I moved away from zabbix is that it opens up a connection to the monitored host's zabbix agent for every single item that it is monitoring -- and the default template for linux includes about a hundred items, so every time it checks a host it makes at least 100 connections to the same host. -- Jonathan Billings From lincoln.fessenden at jefferson.edu Wed Aug 5 11:30:33 2009 From: lincoln.fessenden at jefferson.edu (Lincoln Fessenden) Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:30:33 -0400 Subject: Systerm Monitoring In-Reply-To: <8d423b320908042138u107622a3s849f842344fd9d9f@mail.gmail.com> References: <321871a60908042111m602b2d88u8f724df0b4b5406d@mail.gmail.com> <8d423b320908042138u107622a3s849f842344fd9d9f@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4A796D59.2070602@jefferson.edu> Joseph Chen wrote: > Basically it depends on your servers' amount.

The original snmptrapd is deactivated so no problem here The problem is port 1 till 1024 can only used by root The only way to do this is to completely deactivate this part of security which i realy dont like, very nasty. Is there a way with selinux to do this. Please explain in details because i'm still partly a selinux n00b sry The alternative is to let the app run in root which isnt going to happen :-) I realy hope somebody knows how and if this can be done with selinux after 1 day searching and testing i'm a bit stuk Other suggestions are also welcome thnx Regards, Patrick Lambooy From mgalgoci at redhat.com Thu Aug 6 14:53:02 2009 From: mgalgoci at redhat.com (Matthew Galgoci) Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 10:53:02 -0400 (EDT) Subject: allow a application on port UDP/162 as non root In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: > Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 16:44:44 +0200 (CEST) > From: Patrick Lambooy > To: redhat-sysadmin-list at redhat.com > Subject: allow a application on port UDP/162 as non root > > Hello, > > I need some Selinux help > > The problem is : > The application starts its own listening snmp trap app on port UDP/162 > > What i want is to allow a user (not root) to start the application(java) > and let it bind to the port UDP/162. > > The original snmptrapd is deactivated so no problem here > > The problem is port 1 till 1024 can only used by root > > The only way to do this is to completely deactivate this part of security > which i realy dont like, very nasty. > > Is there a way with selinux to do this. > Please explain in details because i'm still partly a selinux n00b > sry > > The alternative is to let the app run in root which isnt going to happen :-) > > I realy hope somebody knows how and if this can be done with selinux after > 1 day searching and testing i'm a bit stuk > Other suggestions are also welcome This isn't a selinux issue.

The only caveat here is that iptables -L -n won't show this rule by default.

Even if you had the java program labeled and an SELinux policy that allowed it to listen on port 162, I believe you'd still run into the limitation that non-root users can't listen on ports 1-1024. I don't believe that SELinux has a tunnel through that kernel setting. The fact that this program has no ability to change from port 162 makes me think that either it was intended to run as root or it was written for another OS that didn't have non-root port listening limitations. (Or, perhaps it was written by someone ignorant of unix and linux.) -- Jonathan Billings From cmadams at hiwaay.net Thu Aug 6 18:55:35 2009 From: cmadams at hiwaay.net (Chris Adams) Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 13:55:35 -0500 Subject: allow a application on port UDP/162 as non root In-Reply-To: <230EA5C8-CACA-4342-B5A8-9E29B48C190B@narmida.com> References: <4A7AF06F.1030703@gmail.com> <230EA5C8-CACA-4342-B5A8-9E29B48C190B@narmida.com> Message-ID: <20090806185535.GC1206119@hiwaay.net> Once upon a time, Patrick Lambooy said: > As i can tell from the docs it could be possible to tell selinux to > allow this port UDP 162 to bind to java without comprimising the > security. No, SELinux cannot do that. SELinux can only put additional limits on the already-existing permissions; it cannot grant permissions you wouldn't otherwise have. The only solutions are: - run it as root - use iptables to map 162 to a higher number port and configure or modify the app to listen on a different port (as far as the network is concerned, it would still be port 162) - use a helper program to open the port and give it to the app (don't know if this will work with Java though; does it support FD passing?) -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

LVS will give you a unique ip-address per service that you are running in the cluster. I.e. in your case, you'll get 2 fixed ip-addresses (one for each server) and three virtual addresses (one for each service). When one of the servers goes down, the services (including the virtual addresses) running on that server will automatically migrate to the other server. There are a number of caveats, though. 1. you need central storage and a cluster-aware filesystem 2. when services fail over to the other node (either because of server failure or manually), the services are stopped (or crash) on the first server and are restarted on the second. I.e. running processes do not continue running. I.e. your applications (and end-users) have to know that when your database fails over, they will have to reconnect. I have no experience with Oracle iAS, or E-business Suite 11i, but if you want to cluster Oracle databases, Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster) is the way to go. Undoubtedly, Oracle can at least let you know the best way to add redundancy for Oracle iAS and E-business Suite 11i.

I saw some customers who didn't want to install red hat lvs in their clusters.

Message-ID: <4A9556B9.3070608@mail.owls.lib.wi.us> Hello, I have a question about configuring Logical Volumes on my new Dell Power Edge R710. The server was ordered with Red Hat Enterprise 5.3 which Dell has pre-installed. Dell configured the drives on the server as follows: hd0 & hd1 (RAID1) = /dev/sda (146GB total capacity) hd2, hd3, hd4, hd5 (RAID5) = /dev/sdb (438GB total capacity) Dell has also pre-configured all of the logical volumes to reside on /dev/sda. This new server will primarily be an eMail server. So I was thinking about moving /var and /home to /dev/sdb which has more space. This will also place most of the data on the RAID5 drives and keep it separate from the OS RAID 1 drives. Could you please help answer my questions? 1. Is it possible to relocate /var and /home to /dev/sdb using the LVM? 2. Or is it best to simply leave /var and /home on /dev/sda (and maybe minimize their sizes on /dev/sda) and expand them to include space on /dev/sdb? 3. If relocating /var and /home to /dev/sdb is not too messy, could you please provide an outline of the steps in the LVM I would need to follow to make it happen? For example: * Do the changes need to be made in single user mode? * Can the GUI LVM be used to make the changes? This server is not yet configured as an eMail server and there are only two accounts on the server (root, and mine). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'd personally probably leave /var with the rest of the OS (if /var isn't there, the OS is pretty much screwed anyway). Also, /var/log gets a lot of writes, especially on a mail server, so RAID 5 could be a performance issue). That's all just IMHO though. > Could you please help answer my questions? > > 1. Is it possible to relocate /var and /home to /dev/sdb using the LVM? If the filesystems are on LVM already, then yes, this is easy and fairly straight-forward. I've never used the GUI tools, but the CLI tool workflow would be something like: - fdisk /dev/sdb make a single partition that covers the disk (type 8e for "Linux LVM") - lvm 1. pvcreate /dev/sdb makes /dev/sdb an LVM physical volume 2. vgextend /dev/sdb adds the new PV to your existing volume group 3. pvmove -n /dev/sdb moves the specified logical volume to the specified PV this step takes a while 4. lvextend -L /dev/sdb increases the space allocated to the specified LV (repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional LV) - resize2fs -p /dev/ increases the size of the filesystem to use all of the LV (repeat for each additional filesystem) -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

I fully understand and agree with your /var suggestion. Would it be possible, or even wise, to just move /var/spool/mail to /dev/sdb? This is the directory in /var I was most concerned about.

Yes, if you are delivering to a common mail spool, you might want to make /var/spool/mail a separate filesystem. The alternative is to deliver to home directories; that puts all your data for a given user in one place (and means you don't have to pre-decide how much space should be for mail spool and how much for home directories/IMAP folders). I'm in the early planning stages of replacing an old mail server that handles ~12,000 users, and that's what I'm planning to do. Right now, we have the mail spool in one filesystem and home directories in another, but I'm going to switch to delivery to home directories (and most likely from mbox to Maildir++). -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
