General Information

Lentil performs backups. Its backup script needs further investigation to determine exactly how it works.

Network Configuration

Hostnames: lentil.unh.edu, lentil.farm.physics.unh.edu

Currently connected to the unh and farm networks via the switch and VLAN.

Access Configuration

 /etc/security/access.conf
 Any valid user can log into lentil from any machine on the Internet.

Backup Configuration

Location of Backups

/mnt/npg-daily/34/

All backup related scripts are:

 /etc/auto.npg-daily
 /usr/local/bin/rsync_backup.pl
 /etc/cron.daily/0rsync_backup
 /usr/sbin/vgcfgbackup
 /etc/rsync-backup.conf

/etc/rsync-backup.conf

# Backups are 'pull' only.  Too bad there isn't a better way to enforce this.
read only       = yes

# Oh for the ability to retain CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH, and no other.  
#uid            = root
# XXX There seems to be an obscure bug with pam_ldap and rsync whereby 
# getpwnam(3) segfaults when (and only when) archiving /etc.  Using a numeric
# uid avoids this bug.  Only verified on Fedora Core 2.
uid             = 0

# There's not much point in putting the superuser in a chroot jail
# use chroot    = yes

# This isn't really an effective "lock" per se, since the value is per-module,
# but there really ought never be more than one, and it would at least 
# ensure serialized backups.
max connections = 1

[usr_local]
        path    = /usr/local
        comment = unpackaged software

[opt]
        path    = /opt
        comment = unpackaged software

[etc]
        path    = /etc
        comment = conf files

[var]
        path    = /var
        comment = user and system storage

SNMP Configuration

 /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
 Copied from Pepper.

Smartd Configuration

The configuration file is at /etc/smartd.conf. The smartd.conf does a silent check, which only emails reports if the SMART health status comes back as failed. This smartd.conf will look different from alot of the other computers because it doesn't have a RAID card installed, so each disk is mounted seperately for backups.

SMARTD Smartd setup and configuration

rc.local Configuration

This script is modified to run commands when the system is done powering on.

This will send the boot.log to npg-admins everytime the pc is started.

 mail -s "$HOSTNAME Started, Here is the boot.log" npg-admins@physics.unh.edu < /var/log/boot.log
