I’ve been meaning to create blog of work accomplishments and have never quite gotten around to it,so I’m just going to start dropping them here. Here’s a round up of things that I have accomplished so far:
- cleanupsmbd.pl:Wrote a workaround script to kill off smbd processes before they start to bring a server to a crawl
- FC5 Deployment:Readied and bugtested FC5 installation procedures for enterprise deployment
- Overcame LDAP integration issues on FC5
- Identified kernel panic cause on FC5 systems (running kernel 2.6.17-1.2174 w/e1000 NIC)
- Configured anaconda and prepared Kickstart for FC5 (near hands-free install)
- Preliminary work on fully automating branch server configuration (from fresh install to deployment)
- Wrote runonce script useful for creating things like cron.1min and cron.5min
- Corrected a long-standing shorewall startup issue relating to linefeeds
- Wrote a patch to fix the LDAP BDB database on startup if corruption is detected (Redhat Bugzilla 207821)
- Troubleshooting and adapted Samba configuration procedures to follow new printer permissions standards (deprecated printer admin option)
- Identified shorewall slow (10 minute) startup cause (Redhat Bugzilla 211338)
