changed owner of git repos
by Jon Stanley 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Just FYI, I changed the owners of the git repos on hosted1 to be the first administrator found in their FAS group, since there was a ticket complaining that everything was owned by 'root'. Now you can see real owners at http://git.fedorahosted.org for the most part. If you disagree with the assignment of who the owner is, please either change the directory owner directly on hosted1 if you have access, or let me or someone else in sysadmin-hosted know and we'll take care of it. Thanks! -Jon

Lets keep our eyes open. If there is a conflict, then the public key of the host the script connects to will probably not match. Therefore there is a problem anyways. > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/SOP/ssh_known_hosts I suggest to use echo app1,10.8.34.59 $(cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub) on the regarding machine instead of ssh-keyscan -t rsa app1,10.8.34.59 on a remote machine. Otherwise there may be still a small window of opportunity for a mitm attack. Regards, Till

ssh_host_keys
by Mike McGrath 10 Dec '08

We are now distributing an ssh_known_hosts file to all of our servers. This means that you can blow away your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. When servers get rebuilt either replace it with the old ssh key, or update the puppet/modules/ssh/files/ssh_known_hosts file with the new key. I've not actually used global ssh_known_hosts before, I wouldn't be surprised if it causes issues in some of our scripts that might have a conflicting ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Lets keep our eyes open. -Mike

In case you guys are curious I just got a note that the OpenSuse Build Service now supports Fedora 10. I thought I'd pass it along. -Mike

Trimming up our ks script
by Mike McGrath 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

I'm working to trim up our kickstart scripts to make them include far fewer packages. This is bound to cause problems during our transition. Our current puppet configuration probably assumes packages are installed that will no longer be there. We'll have to explicitly define these needs. Initial tests show significant savings though. On the xen servers its over 200 packages fewer. Just keep an eye on things as we rebuild some infrastructure and migrate to our new xen servers. -Mike

Just warming up...
by Michael Semcheski 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Hello, Just thought I'd introduce myself. I popped into #fedora-admin (nick: mhs), and then ended up deciding to join this list and try to help out a bit. I'm a C++ developer for a lab in a University, and I also am responsible for a couple of servers, and some Xen virtual private servers for my own web sites. And, I'm a member of the Western Pennsylvania Linux User's Group (http://www.wplug.org/wiki/User:Mhs) So, with that said, I'm a big fan of Fedora, and I'm going to try to find a way to help out. I'm modelling a lot of the infrastructure I'm responsible for after the way Fedora has done things, because I'm impressed by it. It seems like there are some people who know what they're doing in charge, and I'd like to learn a bit more. Thanks, Mike
