intro: 1. entschuldigung, ich spreche kein deutsch. gibt es ein m\"{o}glichkeit in engl\"{a}sisch zu scheiben ? Aber seit ich mich einschreiben m\"{u}sste f\"{u}r dieses list, soll ich es besser lernen. 2. English version follows after German (for certainty/clarity) 3. SCPM ist zehr!!! interessant index: intro index A. SITUATION B. SUGGESTION B.1 network B.2 nis B.3 neues boot B.4 neues samba B.5 inetd A. SITUATION 1. SuSE 9.0Pro (en) 2. SCPM Aktiviert (3 profielen): - am arbeit (mit netz) - zu hauze (anderes netz konfiguration) - anders (ohne netz) 3. in yast-SCMP - option - konfigur - network kontrol ist aktiviert B. suggestion/erbesserung: B.1 SCPM-konfiguration 'network' m\"oglicherweis braucht man /etc/modules.conf und /etc/modules.conf.local im network-profiel ein zu schreiben, denn wenn man das netz aus zetst oder streicht (UK: remove) in yast-netz-karte (?), yast streicht, "alias eth0 <module>" vom /etc/modules.conf, und diese eranderung ist nicht detektiert in SCPM. vileicht (UK: possibly) /etc/host.conf /etc/HOSTNAME /etc/nsswitch.conf m\"{o}chten/darfen auch gesetzt worden. und auch /etc/passwd /etc/shadow* B.2 SCPM-konfiguration 'nis' dieses konfiguration braucht /etc/defaultdomain B.3 neues SCPM-konfiguration 'boot' dieses option k\"{o}nte gut sein: speicher: /etc/inittab (init 3 oder init 5) speicher: /etc/fstab B.4 neues SCPM-konfiguration 'samba' service: smb speicher: /etc/samba/smb.conf speicher: /set/samba/smbusers speicher: /etc/samba/smbpasswd speicher: /etc/sysconfig/samba B.5 SCPM-konfiguration 'inetd' speicher: /etc/hosts.allow speicher: /etc/hosts.deny B.6 SCPM-konfiguration 'xf86' service: xdm ================================================================== ENGLISH VERSION ================================================================== intro: 1. Sorry, I'm no native english speaker (nor writer), but I believe my english is at least a bit better than my German :D 2. You've probably already noticed that the German version precedes this note. 3. SCPM is already a very interesting produkt (conclusion after one day usage) index: intro index A. SITUATION B. SUGGESTIONS B.1 network B.2 nis B.3 proposal for new 'boot' B.4 proposal for new 'samba' A. Situation 1. I'm having SuSE 9.0 Pro installed 2. SCPM has been aktivated and 3 different profiles were created. This resulted in two profiles with network configuration (and device) and one without. 3. most changes (if not all) were applied using yast modules. and in SCPM, the "network" profile is indicated as "to be controlled" B. SUGGESTIONS B.1 network probably it will/could be usefull to include /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modules.conf.local into the network package since when you remove a network device in a configuration, the module-line corresponding to it (alias eth0 <module> is removed from /etc/modules.conf (by yast), causing later on the network not to be activated anymore. Possible other files that might be considered for inclusion are: * /etc/HOSTNAME (in different networks a host might have another name) * /etc/nsswitch and /etc/host.conf (when one uses nis, dns or other or not, these files could change) * one might even consider /etc/passwd (and related /etc/shadow*, ... as a candidate for monitoring... B.2 nis if you need nis to be checked, it could be you have different configurations for nis (different networks). Since the domainname is configured in /etc/defaultdomain, It's probably obligatory for good switching to have this file monitored... B.3 new* boot file: /etc/inittab (if you want to boot init3 or init5 in different situations, or have serial connected terminal a.s.o.) file: /etc/fstab (like with different external devices... [disk/dvdrom]) B.4 new* samba A bit surprised was I when I discovered there's no monitor provided for samba, while in different networks this _will_ change (or so I believe), and even you could want in some networks no samba at all... (e.g. on direct-Internet connection). suggested monitors for: service: smb file: /etc/smaba/smb.conf file: /etc/samba/smbusers file: /ets/samba/smbpasswd file: /etc/sysconfig/samba B.5 inetd file: /etc/hosts.allow file: /etc/hosts.deny B.6 xf86 service: xdm -- Groetjes vanwege...
