Network backup with Rsync

My environment: RH FC8 x86_64
Rsync Version: rsync-2.6.9-3.2.fc8

 

1. Enable rsync server in xinetd:

vi /etc/xinetd.d/rsync

disable = no

2. Start xinetd on server side

3. Generate password-less inter-host key for SSH connection between rsync server and client.  Follow the tutorial here.

4. Run this on rsync server:

rsync -ave ssh --numeric-ids rsync-client-hostname:/files-to-be-backup /backup-location-on-server

Create public folder on samba

My environment: Samba 3.0.28 on RH FC8

Nothing better than learn by example, let see the following 2 examples on /etc/samba/smb.conf to create a writable and read-only share

Writable share - A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in software group

[software]
comment = Software Share
path = /media/disk/software
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
browseable = yes
write list = +software

A read-only share

[VM]
comment = VM
path = /media/disk/VM
public = yes
writable = no
printable = no
browseable = yes

Start your samba server in 5 mins

My environment: Samba 3.0.28 on RH FC8

Again it’s time for our quick and dirty series – the samba episode.  Let's create a samba share in 5 mins!

1. Make sure you have samba server installed.  If not, yum –y install samba-common. 
2. Add your existing users to samba, say I have an user pandaeatsbamboo already in the system:
smbpasswd -a pandaeatsbamboo
3. Restart your samba server:

/etc/init.d/smb restart

4. Access your share via UNC path, \\192.168.1.10 and you’ll see your home folder as a shared folder.

Quick and Dirty way to allow remote access to your MySQL server

I usually do this in my lab environment.  I'm sure you will use it with care when you do it in production environment, and to make it more securely and restrictive.

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'someuser'@'somehost';

'somehost' could be '%', it will allow all hosts to access.  Again use it with great care!

Then you can use some GUI tools (e.g. MySQL-Front, my favorite GUI for MySQL) to remote access and administer your MySQL database.
