CHECK NTP IS DOING ITS JOB OR NOT

There are a number of utilities available to check if NTP is doing it's job. The ntpq -p command will print out your system's current time status.

# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*cudns.cit.corne ntp0.usno.navy.  2 u  832 1024  377   43.208    0.361   2.646
 LOCAL(0)        LOCAL(0)        10 l   13   64  377    0.000    0.000   0.008

The ntpdc -c loopinfo will display how far off the system time is in seconds, based upon the last time the remote server was contacted.

# ntpdc -c loopinfo offset: -0.004479 s frequency: 133.625 ppm poll adjust: 30 watchdog timer: 404 s

ntpdc -c kerninfo will display the current remaining correction.

# ntpdc -c kerninfo pll offset: -0.003917 s pll frequency: 133.625 ppm maximum error: 0.391414 s estimated error: 0.003676 s status: 0001 pll pll time constant: 6 precision: 1e-06 s frequency tolerance: 512 ppm pps frequency: 0.000 ppm pps stability: 512.000 ppm pps jitter: 0.0002 s calibration interval: 4 s calibration cycles: 0 jitter exceeded: 0 stability exceeded: 0 calibration errors: 0

A slightly more different version of ntpdc -c kerninfo is ntptime

# ntptime ntp_gettime() returns code 0 (OK) time c35e2cc7.879ba000 Thu, Nov 13 2003 11:16:07.529, (.529718), maximum error 425206 us, estimated error 3676 us ntp_adjtime() returns code 0 (OK) modes 0x0 (), offset -3854.000 us, frequency 133.625 ppm, interval 4 s, maximum error 425206 us, estimated error 3676 us, status 0x1 (PLL), time constant 6, precision 1.000 us, tolerance 512 ppm, pps frequency 0.000 ppm, stability 512.000 ppm, jitter 200.000 us, intervals 0, jitter exceeded 0, stability exceeded 0, errors 0.

Yet another way to see how well NTP is working is with the ntpdate -d command. This will contact an NTP server and determine the time difference but not change your system's time.

# ntpdate -d 132.236.56.250 13 Nov 14:43:17 ntpdate[29631]: ntpdate 4.1.1c-rc1@1.836 Thu Feb 13 12:17:20 EST 2003 (1) transmit(132.236.56.250) receive(132.236.56.250) transmit(132.236.56.250) receive(132.236.56.250) transmit(132.236.56.250) receive(132.236.56.250) transmit(132.236.56.250) receive(132.236.56.250) transmit(132.236.56.250) server 132.236.56.250, port 123 stratum 2, precision -17, leap 00, trust 000 refid [192.5.41.209], delay 0.06372, dispersion 0.00044 transmitted 4, in filter 4 reference time: c35e5998.4a46cfc8 Thu, Nov 13 2003 14:27:20.290 originate timestamp: c35e5d55.d69a6f82 Thu, Nov 13 2003 14:43:17.838 transmit timestamp: c35e5d55.d16fc9bc Thu, Nov 13 2003 14:43:17.818 filter delay: 0.06522 0.06372 0.06442 0.06442 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 filter offset: 0.000036 0.001020 0.000527 0.000684 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 delay 0.06372, dispersion 0.00044 offset 0.001020 13 Nov 14:43:17 ntpdate[29631]: adjust time server 132.236.56.250 offset 0.001020 sec

If you want actually watch the system synchronize you can use ntptrace.

# ntptrace 132.236.56.250 cudns.cit.cornell.edu: stratum 2, offset -0.003278, synch distance 0.02779 truetime.ntp.com: stratum 1, offset -0.014363, synch distance 0.00000, refid 'ACTS'

If you need your system time synchronized immediately you can use the ntpdate remote-servername to force a synchronization. No waiting!

# ntpdate 132.236.56.250

ISCSI TARGET ON RHEL 6

ISCSI TARGET SERVER HOW TO ON REDHAT6-----------------------------------------------------------

(THIS Practical is created in vmware machine )

lab setup :-

server : ip add 192.168.0.10

hostname = server.example.com

client= ip add 192.168.0.100

hostname= client1.exmaple.com

-------------------------------------------********************************-------------------------------------------------------

# install following package

# yum -y install scsi*

then

# chkconfig tgtd on

step 2 add vitual hardisk and create lvm on that hardisk

and mount it the

step 3

# vim /etc/tgt/targets.conf

And add this line at end of the file

<target iqn.2011-2012.com.exmaple:server.target1>

backing-store /dev/wgroup/whare

</target>

then test discover the iSCSI target from the target server itself, using the following command:

#iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.0.10
  192.168.0.10:3260,1 iqn.2011-2012.com.exmaple:server.target1

then u succseefully created ISCSI TARGET SERVER
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Client side := 1^st step Run follwing command

 # iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.0.10(serverip)


 192.168.0.10:3260,1 iqn.2011-2012.com.exmaple:server.target1


 then copy only for (iqn.2011-2012.com.exmaple:server.target1)


 and past it like this


 # iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2011-2012.com.exmaple:server.target1 –login

 it will give mesg successful


# then run the fdisk -l itwill show u server side disk thats it

UMOUNT FORCEFULLY COMMAND

• umount file system when device is busy

          # umount /data

              Umount /dev/sdb1 : device is busy

               Umount /dev/sdb1 : device is busy

         So

                   # fuser –m /data

                      /data     : 4582c

               Then give command

                  # ps –ef |grep 4582

              And kill the process

                Then unmount the file system

 Or 

give command for umount 

# umount -l /data 

SWAP COMMAND

• Clear the swap space in linux

First we want to see what is currently being use

    # free

Then checkout swap use or not

Then give command

# swapoff –a and

# free

Then

# swapon  -a

# free

Rsync command and tar.gz commands

• If u want to transfer data 1 server to another server give following command

               # rsync –auv source file path or file name                            remotepath(192.168.252.212:/home/amol/Desktop)

·        List the contents of a tar.gz file

             #  tar –tvf  file.tar.gz

·        List the contents of a tar.bz2 file

# tar -jtvf file.tar.bz2

• How to extract tar.gz file in another directory

         # tar –zxvf  file.tar.gz  -C destination path(/amol)

• How to create tar.gz file

   #  tar –zcvf  file.tar.gz  your file name like file1

finding package of particuler file belonging

• How to check that a particular filebelong to which package.

           Ans.

       Before this run command

      # which  rescan-scsi-bus.sh

       /usr/bin/ rescan-scsi-bus.sh

      Then go to that path and run below command

       # rpm –qf  /usr/bin/rescan-scsi-bus.sh

        sg3_utils-1.27-17.7

# then copy the encrypted password in menu.lst

Like this

# vim /boot/grub/menu.lst

Add line below

Timeoute 0

Password –md5  Sdfdsfdsfsdafdasfsdf$$$$

Then restart the server 

DENY ROOT SSH LOGIN

ALLOW   NORMAL USER  LOGIN VIA PUTTY

Server :-  192.168.0.101

Edit the line

# vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

unComment the PermitRootLogin     Yes

and change like this

 

PermitRootLogin   no

And save the file

Then restart the ssh service

Create normal user ( amol)

Client machine :- 192.168.0.50

# ssh amol@192.168.0.101

#  vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Add following line

Or

Edit the Banner none line 

# no default banner path

Then restart the ssh service

Pure-ftpd configuration on SUSE Linux

                                  Pure-ftpd configuration on SUSE Linux

Lab scenario :

ftp-server :192.168.0.102

client :192.168.0.101

on ftpserver we create 3 users

·          ftpadmin = were all data keeping in like as

/home/ftpadmin/data/i586/

And change the ownership like this

#Chown –R  ftpadmin.users /home/ftpadmin/data

Next  user is bsembr6385

And change the ownership like this

# chown –R ftpadmin:users  /home/bsembr6385

We change the ownership becoz client side bsembr6385 login and acess the data in /home/ftpadmin/data

Or

If u want restrict the /home/ftpadmin/data to bsembr6385

Then run the follwing command

# chmod 744 –R  /home/ftpadmin/data

Then bsembr6385 cannot see te content of the Data directory

1step

Install pure-ftpd package from dvd od sles11

2^nd step

Start the service

# /etc/init .d /pure-ftpd restart

 The go to client side

# sftp bsembr6358@192.168.0.101
