Prevent directory move on NSS volume

This issue has come up from time to time, but never annoying enough to address until now. I have a few directories on a OES 11 server running NSS volumes that are utilized as "public" folders for users and departments. The rights that are typically granted to the top-level directory are 'RWECMF' to the OU. The issue is that on occasion, a user will accidentally go mouse crazy and inadvertently move the directory to a new location, thus causing a search and find adventure to move the directory back to the proper location.
The question is, am I missing something really basic here to allow users to continue to perform what they need to do on the file system below public, but to prevent them from the ability to move the top-level directory, in this case "public?"
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yup. It happens.
The usual answers are:
1. Take the rights away.
2. Shoot the offending users. Repeat until it stops happening.
3. Use something to "tune" the mouse action on the workstation to make
moving things accidently more difficult.
Pick one... But #2 is likely to lead to other problems.

Sadly, no. If they have sufficient rights to do so, the server doesn't
know or care why they're moving stuff from "here" to "there". It's a
valid operation, and the server does what it does as quickly as possible.

  • Strange directory behaviour on NSS volume OES11 SP1

    Hi All,
    A couple of months ago we installed an OES11 SP1 server with an NSS volume (VOL1:) for all our installation files.
    In the root of the VOL1: volume, we created a directory named _Install (yes, underscore)
    In this directory we created a lot of subdirectories with installation files for several applications, to keep things short, let's say DIR-A, DIR-B, DIR-C DIR-D DIR-E etc.
    So if we opened VOL1:, we just saw the _Install direcory in the root of VOL1:, and if we opened the _Install directory, we saw the DIR-A, DIR-B etc.
    But today, we opened the VOL1:, saw, the _Install directory, but also the DIR-A, DIR-B, DIR-C etc. in the folowing manner:
    _Install (normal)
    _Install\DIR-A
    _Install\DIR-B
    _Install\DIR-C
    etc.
    If we doubleclick on one of the directories in the root of VOL1:, we actually open the directory below the _Install directory. It's just like we have a kind of symbolic links, or shortcut's to the real directories in our root.
    Never seen this before.
    Anybody a clue for this?
    regards,
    Mark

    Having seen your other replies, you're opening VOL1: in Windows Explorer?
    What do you see if you do a DIR from a Command Prompt window?

  • How to list all directory quotas on an OES NSS Volume ??

    Hi
    I need to list all the directory quotas on an OES2 NSS volume, and haven't succeded yet!
    I've tried to extract the info by inspecting /_admin/Manage_NSS/Volume/<volname>/DirInfo.xml, but it's always incomplete, as the file seems to have a 'fixed length' of 1024K.
    Is there any way to:
    a) completelly copy the file somewhere without the 1024K restriction
    b) any other util that could do the job
    Thanks!

  • How to setup FTP to NSS Volume\directory

    I need to setup an ID when it FTPs to the new OES2 server it will
    automatically be in the NSS volume in the directory;
    FS1\DATA:\Reports\FTPDATA
    How do you do this with pure-ftp?
    I setup an account (ftpuser) in edirectory and LUM enabled it to the
    oes2 server but when i ftp in it ftps to the linux home directory
    please help

    For the migration tool:
    There is a option for FTP migration, but I don't particularly recommend it. It doesn't do much. And what it does do, it doesn't do particularly well. On the positive side, getting what you had with NWFTPD out of OES "Novell FTP" is usually attainable now. But it requires getting your hands dirty and do a good review of pure-ftpd's abilities, settings, and methods.
    The "Novell FTP" install pattern in OES Install & Config will lum enable pure-ftpd for you (via pam configuration), add some settings to the /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf file for OES specific enhancements, and a few other things like that.
    The migration tool does one thing: It looks at a small number of setting in NetWare's sys:/etc/ftpserv.cfg and sets corresponding values in /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf. But there are many settings unique to each, which don't translate. And the migration tool doesn't do all that it could, and it does some things it shouldn't:
    - It doesn't turn on all the remote server / ftp gateway / NCP home directory features that you're used to be always on in NWFTPD. In pure-ftpd, you have to turn those on yourself (in pure-ftpd.conf), as they are off by default. As these features are now optional, it was decided to have them default to being off. This keeps ftp server code paths much simpler for those who don't need those features.
    - It tends to remove some settings from pure-ftpd.conf if they are set to the defaults. While that won't have any negative impact on functionality, it is annoying for people who like to all the settings in the file, either as examples or to remind them of the current values. If you want to accomplish what the migration tool does without risking those deletions, I recommend you see table 25-1 at the following link. That shows what setting from NetWare are carried into pure-ftpd.conf during the migration process. You can usually do it manually in just a few minutes.
    Novell Documentation
    And as Ketter indicated in another reply, the OES 11 online doc holds information that will help. Much of the FTP home directory features were added or enhanced in OES 11 SP1, so be sure to use the current doc.

  • Access forbidden when Apache is trying to use NSS volume

    I'm helping a customer migrate from an OES2 SBE server to an OES2 Linux server running under VMware. The new server is up and seems to be running fine and I've migrated all of the data over, but not using the Migration Tools as I could not get them to work. (That's another thread in the forums. Could that problem be related to this problem???).
    Anyway, on their old server they run Apache for their public web site and it's default directory is on an NSS volume. It's configured in default-server.conf and it works fine. There are no virtual servers configured in Apache
    On the new server, I've duplicated every setting I can find in Apache and every permission in the file system to match exactly with the old server. However, all I can get from Apache is an "Error 403: You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected."
    If I move the web folder off of the NSS volume and adjust default-server.conf, it serves the pages up just fine. So, I'm pretty sure it's NSS permissions related. The wwwrun user and www group are pre-existing in the Tree and the old server is using them and they appear to be LUM enabled. There's a Unix Workstation object in the tree for the new server, so I'm assuming it's LUM enabled. From what very little I understand about LUM, it appears to be working but I wouldn't bet much on that. I also tried configuring Apache to use a virtual host instead of the default-server and that didn't help either.
    I've found several other threads and TIDS on the topic and tried them all but nothing worked. I'm at the end of my knowledge!

  • Commvault issue with JobResults on NSS volume

    Hi all, we see an issue with Commvault 9R2 (sp10) using a Linux i-data agent client on OES2SP3 x64 backing up (clustered) NSS volumes. For speed we, this case, do not want to use a NSS i-data agent, so we just leverage the Linux i-data agent.
    The issue is that if we use the Linux i-data agent and the jobresults directory is also hosted on the same NSS volume that's being backed up we get an error on failures.cvf
    "Could not open failures file [/media/nss/LBAPOA/galaxy/JobResults/2/268/Failures.cvf] error number [19, No such device]. The backup would continue but this would affect the ability of reattempting the failed file backup during next incremental backup. A full backup is recommended to back up all files. Check the following: 1. The account this product uses has permissions to the product's install directory. 2. Sufficient disk space is available for the Job Results directory. If the problem persists, please upload log files from CommServe, MediaAgent and Client and contact your vendor's support hotline with the job ID of the failed job."
    If we (for testing only) move only the jobresult directory to an ext3 volume we do not see the issue.
    Has someone seen (and hopefully fixed) this issue before? My guess it's a Commvault issue, but just before we open a SR with them I would like to now if there's a good guess to solve this:)

  • Use OES2SP3 NSS Volume on a OES11SPx Server

    Hello all
    We have a couple of virtual OES2SP3 servers which we plan to replace with OES11SPx servers (on several remote sites).
    Now we had the idea to mount the existing OES2SP3 NSS volume (own vmdk disk) with all the data on it to the new OES11SPx server.
    With this procedure we would not need to migrate the data to the new server and would save some time.
    Does anyone have experiences with such a action?
    The NSS volume contains GW and a usual folder structure.
    Thank you for your feedback and suggestions.
    Best regards

    Works fine.
    The gotcha's that I'm aware of:
    When you power off the OES2 VM, and "remove the disk", and then you attach it to the OES11 VM, I don't believe it MOVES the actual VMDK file or directory structure.
    In other words:
    OES2 VM used DATASTORE1 and the directory was like \oes2-vm\oes2-vm.vmdk
    OES11 would show it like:
    DATASTORE1\oes2-vm\oes2-vm.vmdk
    So if/when you decomission the OES2 box, you do NOT want to do a "delete from disk" as it will whack the vmdk and directory and your OES11 box will lose the volume.
    I am unsure if a storage vmotion would work (if you have the paid VMware) or if you will have to power off the VM's and manually move the datastructures around. If going from esx host to esxi host, it can be time consuming.
    If all the servers are using the one esxi host, then I imagine a simple rename, etc. would suffice (ie, power off the VM's, manually browse the datastore, change the directory name, or move it into the OES11 one, etc.)
    But yes, what you want to do works and I've done it many times before.
    Disconnect the disk from the OES2 box, reconnect it to the OES11 box, rescan for LUNs. I don't remember if a server reboot is needed, but I always like to do that. Otherwise I think you'll have to manually run nssmu to mount the volume, etc.
    Obviously if it's Groupwise you'll need to adjust any config files if you used UNC paths for stuff, along with IP addresses (ie, change the IP of the POA/MTA, rebuild the databases, etc.)

  • Server umounts NSS volumes for no obvious reason

    OES2 SP1, 2-node cluster
    I had a server unmount an NSS volume with the message below in the logs.
    Any ideas what could have caused this?
    SAN_SERVER is the cluster pool.
    USERAREA is an NSS volume in the pool.
    Code:
    May 21 10:21:21 vishnu ncs-resourced: resourceMonitor: SAN_SERVER.monitor failed 256
    May 21 10:21:21 vishnu ncs-resourced: resourceMonitor: SAN_SERVER 1 failures in last 600 seconds
    May 21 10:21:25 vishnu adminus daemon: umounting volume USERAREA lazy=1
    May 21 10:21:25 vishnu adminus daemon: Failed to delete the directory /media/nss/USERAREA. Error=39(Directory not empty)
    May 21 10:21:25 vishnu adminus daemon: Entries for Volume USERAREA from pool SAN are not removed during pool deactivation
    May 21 10:21:25 vishnu kernel: Waiting for 2 Inuse beasts to unlink

    May 21 10:21:36 vishnu kernel: isCached - Buffer's should always have an inode
    ... repeated multiple times

    This looks as if you have a monitor script that is looking at your
    resource - spots a failure and then starts a unload/load routine.
    I think that your cluster monitor script has been copied from another
    resource and has not been edited to reflect the change

  • SBS and NSS Volumes

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to Novell, but I have recently been looking at Open
    Enterprise Server and Linux Small Business Suite.
    I really thought that Novell was making the best server solution yet for
    small businesses, and thought that I could walk away from Windows SBS.
    Open Enterprise Server does a great job, NSS volumes are easily added in
    imanager, and iprint really does a great job at printing. However, it's
    too expensive for a small business, and it doesn't come with groupwise as
    standard.
    I thought thats Linux Small Business Suite 9 would be perfect. I have just
    installed it, and groupwise works well. Also creating users is easy.
    But :- Why cant i simply add NSS volumes through imanager like I did on
    OES? I thought that the ability to use Novell Volumes was one of the most
    important things for a small business?
    I am fairly new to this, so forgive me if it's just me! Any help is
    appriciated. I have been looking at the feasibility of using Novell SBS
    for small businesses that need; EMail/Printing/Volumes/Backups. Thought it
    would be as easy to setup volumes as OES, and be simple to backup using
    Tar or rsync.
    Regards,
    Luke.

    > I appreciate what you have said. I think I have to keep with Novell SBS.
    Thanks for the comments.
    >

    I did early on as well -- but my own read is that the Novell Small
    Business team felt they really needed to do *something* to go with the
    Linux flow at Novell -- not a bad thing. It is just that the timing
    was such that an OES iteration wasn't something they could do. (Part of
    what drives the Small Business team timing is Brainshare in Utah every
    March).
    At a guess, the next time round, we'll see an OES Small Business
    product -- now that won't include BorderManager as that seems to be
    only for the NetWare world, and folks can configure Linux based
    firewalls, but it will include GroupWise.

    >
    Me too - I have three clients who pretty much must run Microsoft
    servers, but for the rest, Novell is a much better fit.
    As the world gets more 'fatigued' with Microsoft licensing and pricing
    (both for applications and the OS), the market for Linux based
    alternatives (both for applications and the OS -- including the server
    OS) will be increasingly attractive -- and Novell is rather well
    positioned for that.
    I think one thing which might really drive the change will be solid
    migration paths at the OS and application level. The current iteration
    of Novell's Linux suite doesn't yet provide that (and really isn't
    targeted there at this point). When it does, and folks can migrate
    from NetWare or Microsoft Server, and from Win98/2k/xp to SuSE on the
    desktop, and from Office to Open Office, AND from applications like
    Quicken, Quickbooks, Act to Linux equivalents, I believe we'll see some
    real movement in the small business marketplace. I honestly believe
    that time will come -- and I for one very much need to get much more
    Linux smart in preparation for that time.

  • Migrating Users Quotas on NSS Volumes

    Hi !
    We have a Netware 6.5 SP7 server with around 45000 users on it. We have a NSS volumes called USERS where must of the users have a quotas restrictions.
    How can I migrate all the users quotas restrictions from a Netware server to an OES 2 Linux server ?
    I tried many tools like SCMT, migfiles, tcnvlnx.nlm, ... Everything is migrating correctly EXCEPT the users quotas on the NSS volumes.
    Any ideas ?

    Quotas don't need LUM enabled users on OES2 Linux.
    But if Eric is referring to Volume Space Restrictions and migrations
    just folders, then it won't work.. directory restrictions should
    migrate, haven't tried becoz we only user Volume based.
    6.1.3 User Space Restrictions Only Migrated in Full Volume Copies
    In consolidation projects where individual folders are dragged and
    dropped, or where a volume is
    copied to a folder on the destination server, user space restrictions on
    the source volume are not
    migrated to the destination volume.
    If your consolidation project is set up to copy an entire volume, with
    the contents of the source
    volume being copied to the root of the destination volume, user space
    restrictions are migrated to the
    destination volume. If user space restrictions already exist on the
    destination volume, they are
    overwritten with the restrictions migrated from the source volume.

  • Antivirus: clustered NSS-Volume

    hi,
    I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but...
    we want to install Antivirus-Services (sophos) on our cluster-nodes to protect against viruses on the nss-volume.
    1. Does anyone have any experience on this subject - especially on the question if it's a good idea to run the AV on the cluster-nodes (load, locking of files, behaviour on virus detection and so on.)?
    2. What is the Novell-recommended way to deal with the AV-Question in a clustered environment (sles10sp3+ oes2sp3)?
    would appreciate any help on this.
    thx,
    hugo

    A volume mounted as nssvol on an OES2 SP2,3 server might be scanned with
    savscan like a local one. We use an entry to /etc/cron.d which is
    created by the cluster load and deleted by the cluster unload script.
    Cron starts a daily savscan on the cluster volume, eg:
    savscan /media/nss/VOL1 -exclude $EXCL -p=$SLOGDIR/sophos-$2-$DATE
    -move=$QUARANTINE --no-follow-symlinks --no-reset-atime -archive -all
    -pua -nc -mime -oe
    Replace the variables with suitable names. Be aware that the "-archive"
    and "-all" options might slow down the scan significantly.
    A savscan job will result in 100% CPU load. With todays multicore CPU
    this should be OK provided that not too many are started at once. I
    should add a nice statement to the call also.
    Savscan interferes with our backup system. I had to add the
    "--no-reset-atime" option. Without it the ctime of all files scanned
    will be updated which results in the files being included in the next
    incremental backup. This turns all incremental backups in full ones, of
    course.
    I never tried on access scanning. IMO this does not make much sense on a
    file server and should be done on the clients.

    I have no idea. But in general support at sophos is quite responsive.

  • After Update, cannot delete files from nss volumes

    Not sure if this is the same problem caused by the SLES11 upgrade, but after running all the upgrades on an OES11 system, I can see all the nss volumes of the upgraded servers from workstations using the Novell client, and I can copy or create files on these volumes. However, I cannot delete any files, they disappear from the workstation windows explorer when they are "deleted", but an f5 promptly shows the files are still there. I can go into the server as root, and delete the files under Linux with no problems, so this part is working OK.
    I am running Novell 11.1 patch 1, and this problem has only been noticeable after the update installation.
    I have supervisor rights to the volumes and files, and if I additionally set all the other file rights, I am still unable to delete the files.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Cheers.

    I had a similar problem at updating with SP3 on SP4. It was similar, that permission ERASE is not applied to all trustees working through ncp in spite of the fact that it was available.
    Has solved a problem that has redefined this permission for trustees on all catalogues.
