Installation and Upgrades / Re: Adding shell users / passwd err!

« on: September 08, 2010, 11:33:55 am »

I first detected this because the Ubuntu default user I made when installing native Ubuntu was the one I wanted to be my zentyal user. so I did userdel that user to add it as an zentyal user in the Dashboard/Users

Because this user was adm and my dashboard user I wanted to re-create another "generic" zentyal dashboard user and add him to the adm group so I can login with that one to the dashboard.

Now I cant add the user nor can I change his password and to make it worse i do not have another user in adm group that can access the zentyal dashboard.

I basically logged myself out!

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Adding shell users / passwd err!

« on: September 08, 2010, 11:28:35 am »

We need a bit more context. Is this a fresh install using the Zentyal CD? Or have you installed it on top of an already configured Ubuntu Server?

I have like 24 Ubuntu servers all installed same way none have this issue, the e-box/zentyal install modifies the pam authentication BUT dont leave the pam passwd change intact.

I installed in order from the Published Ubuntu CD from Ubuntu website the Ubuntu and only added open ssh Server as application therfore it could be seen as an basic install.

then I ran aptitude update after adding the corect deb enty in the sources.list and aptitude safe-upgrade after setting the hostname in hosts and /etc/hostname I rebooted and did an aptitude install ebox-all.

I kept it updated via aptitude safe-upgrade even this morning as I still want to make sure it is stable before comitting into production.

Installation and Upgrades / HowTo Complete Remove ebox/zentyal

« on: September 01, 2010, 07:47:17 pm »

To install is easy as

Code: [Select]

aptitude install ebox-allbut to "Purge" is NOT because the installation installs a lot of dependants and save configuration all over the place, Making it Impossible to completely remove so you can start over.

During the beta phase my server got all messed up but rather than reformatting "Windows standard routine" and re-installing I'd like to use the proper Ubuntu way by using aptitude remove/purge to get rid if the whole installation giving me a clear slate.

If you do not purge the setup files for eg. slapd then well the new install dont re-create them and ofc some "misconfigured config debris" is all over the place.

Can someone point me to the complete tree of dependent's installed? 

I do realise this list will end in linux itself, however it be nice to have an list that include only the packages that is configured by the zentyal Dashboard or the Installation routine.  The config files is probable the parts that will hinder such an attempted clean install.

Installation and Upgrades / Reset Administrator Password for Dashboard

« on: August 27, 2010, 08:40:00 am »

In this morning's Update "aptitude safe-upgrade" updated some ebox/Zentyal components.
I do this daily till Zentyal become released in a few days.

The problem now is that my Dashboard Admin password is NOT accepted, I guess the LDAP was messed up.

How can I fix this and reset the Dashboard password with the command-line?

Installation and Upgrades / Re: locked out of ebox

« on: August 27, 2010, 08:30:08 am »

Happened to me also I changed the Gateway, Locked me out cant even see the administratoipn dashboard nor can I log into the box.

The firewall causes the problem and if you clear the IPTables then you can log in, however after re-aplying config or re-boot you back to the start!

To clear the firewall use this

Code: [Select]

iptables -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -t mangle -X
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

A couple of questions:

Did you try to set this up on a plain Ubuntu Server 10.04 with no VM's and no Zentyal?

Have you tried to disable networking in Zentyal and then set up pppoe manually?

Yes I have about 19 servers doing this properly, It work strait away.
I was hoping that Zentyal will use "user" configurations or at worse be able to connect witj technology like pppoe other ppp and even 3g devices due to the fact that they have sorted the failover.

Installation and Upgrades / Gateway change Damage Firewall

« on: August 25, 2010, 10:15:09 pm »

I run :
root@chaos:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release:        10.04
Codename:       lucid

Core version      1.5.13 - Zentyal

I have changed my gateway to 192.168.11.3 from 192.168.11.1 as I have 2x  DSL lines and routers - since then the firewall block me even from the dashboard and ssh login.  It seems that changing gateway under network still  has bugs.

 I did stop the iptables from the console to gain access by means of an  script i have  and then I can access it.  Even if I try and restore the gateway to
 192.168.11.1 - well its now all messed up!

Code: [Select]

root@chaos:~# cat /root/fw.stop

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
 echo "Stopping firewall and allowing everyone..."
 iptables -F
 iptables -X
 iptables -t nat -F
 iptables -t nat -X
 iptables -t mangle -F
 iptables -t mangle -X
 iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
 iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
 iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPTAfter clearing out the iptables I can acdess the server via ssh and via http but the problems still endure.  Is there any help to get this gateway set to the 192.168.11.3 and also get the Firewall to change accordingly.
I have also changed the dns ofc because the den is ISP specific.

Thanx

Hi again,

We need one more thing from you: The version of eBox/Zentyal you are using.

As the different version uses very different versions of Ubuntu, the solution might depend on what you are running.

root@chaos:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release:        10.04

Hello,

This is a community forum and we rely on the information you give to be able to help you. So the more info you can provide, the better is the chance of getting help.

Please take a look at the post that I have linked to in my signature for some tips on what information to include.

The Package: pppoeconf (1.19ubuntu1) http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/pppoeconf
creates pppoe connections via an Bridged router like an Bridged DSL router.  This will enable an direct IP number and all open ports bypassing all NAT ant other functionality of the Gateway - possibly NAT 'ed routing.

The link it create looks like this

Code: [Select]

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:41.222.122.222  P-t-P:41.222.122.1  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1492  Metric:1
          RX packets:1350943 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1573496 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
          RX bytes:744630204 (744.6 MB)  TX bytes:1203528565 (1.2 GB)
It can be started automatically by the lines appending to your /etc/network/interfaces config file

Code: [Select]

...
auto dsl-provider
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider
...
All other functionality and configuration is found in /etc/ppp specifically under /etc/ppp/peers is the file called /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider that contain the specific settings for the rp-pppoe.so plugin.

to install require only the command

Code: [Select]

sudo aptitude pppoeconffollowed by

Code: [Select]

sudo pppoeconfIn the end of this all ebox simply delete the functionality from the /etc/network/interfaces file and provide no alternative to do the same via the interface or otherwise!  If you can provide the solution of HOW to create an DSL dialup / other ppp connections using ebox I will be thankfull because that is an Awesome way to create an failover via 3G device and or dsl over pppoe when the normal internet connection fails.  Other reasons also exist.

P.S. A good understanding require half a word

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Custom firewall rules

« on: August 18, 2010, 07:33:40 pm »

you have to create a service called rdp with these ports (5000-5030) enabled and then add a packet filter in the firewall

Ok I made the service and added it to Packet Filter BUT I cant see it.

VBoxManage showvminfo "vm-name" show me the port is active.

Code: [Select]

VRDP:            enabled (Address 0.0.0.0, Ports 5011, MultiConn: off, ReuseSingleConn: off, Authentication type: null)
VRDP port:       5011
iptables -L -v show me the iptables - same as ssh witch work BUT

Code: [Select]

    0     0 ACCEPT     tcp  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere            tcp spts:5000:5030 dpts:5000:5030 state NEW
    0     0 ACCEPT     tcp  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:ssh state NEW
It still dont work!
