GRUB 2 Recovery in Debian Linux

Grub 2 Recovery:-
Boot from live CD or DVD which support grub2.(BOSS 4 DVD or Ubuntu 9.10 CD
or above. DVD will take more time than CD thats why I suggest to boot from
CD).
Open terminal.Run fdisk -l to check the partition from which you want to
recover grub 2.
Here I assume that you want to recover it form /dev/sda1.
Then run the following commands:-
$sudo mkdir /media/sda1
$sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
$sudo mount --bind /dev /media/sda1/dev
$sudo mount --bind /proc /media/sda1/proc

Then chroot into that partition by
$sudo chroot /media/sda1

Then re-install the grub by

#grub-install /dev/sda
The output should be like this:-
Installation finished. No error reported.

If you get error then try
#grub-install --recheck /dev/sda

After successful installation exit from chroot unmount the file systems you
mounted and reboot.
#exit
$sudo umount /media/sda1/proc
$sudo umount /media/sda1/dev
$sudo umount /media/sda1
$sudo reboot

Using SAMBA Sharing the Directory in a LAN (BOSS 4.0 GNU/Linux )

Global Parameters

[global] Anything in here applies to Samba as a global setting. There is some configuration info here that is important so that Samba and your Windows pc's will function properly. However some global settings can be overridden by share settings (more on this later). I will now go through each line and give a brief description of what role it plays in Samba.
workgroup = home: this is the name of your network group. It is important that both Samba and Windows are in the same workgroup. Please read your Windows documentation on how to change your Windows pc's workgroup name.
netbios name = Samba: netbios name is what you will see in your Windows pc "Network Neighborhood" for your Samba server.You can name this anything you wish. If you leave it blank, it will default to your host name.
encrypt passwords = yes: Samba can work with encrypted or unecrypted passwords. However, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 utilize encrypted passwords. The only time that this should be set to no is when you have any older Windows systems running on your network ie: Windows 95, Windows 3.x. If this is the case you will have to do some registery modifications to your Windows 98, NT, 2000 to allow them to send unencrypted passwords accross the network. Not the most secure situation though.


#global parameters
workgroup=home
netbios name=samba
encrypt passwords=yes

Share Parameters

[homes] When you create a user on your Linux pc (more on this later) it will automatically create a home folder for you in /home/yourusername. Think of this as your "My Documents" for Linux.
read only = no: By default Samba will always make any directory read only for security reasons, so we need to let Samba know that we want to be able to write to this directory.
browseable = no: defines when you map a network drive to Samba, it will map directly to your user directory ie: \\home\mw (this is my username on Linux and Samba) This share /homes/mw is browseable only by you. Remember this is much the same as the "My Documents" folder in Wndows
 
[share] This will create a share that is viewable, and writeable by anyone. This is not at all a secure share. Anyone can do whatever they wish, including deleting files that are not their own. I strongly do not recommend this type of sharing. I have given this example for illustrative reasons only.
path = /srv/samba/share: This tells us the directory is found on the Samba server as/srv/samba/share, and that when we will map the network drive it will be seen as "share" in Network Neighborhood
***To make this directory open a terminal window and type in md /srv/samba/share. Or this can be done from a file manager

read only = no: By default Samba will always make any directory read only for security reasons, so we need to let Samba know that we want to be able to write to this directory.
browesable = yes: This share will show in in Network Neighborhood as "share"

[rajendran]

same as share configuration

# Shared Parameters
[homes]
read only=no
browseable=yes

[share]
path=/srv/samba/share
browseable=yes
public=yes

[rajendran]
path=/srv/samba/rajendran
browseable=yes
public=yes

Adding Users and Restarting Samba

root@boss[~]#smbpasswd -a chamy
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:

restart the samba service

root@boss[~]#/etc/init.d/samba restart
Stopping Samba daemons: nmbd smbd.
Starting Samba daemons: nmbd smbd.


check whether samba is active or not

root@boss[~]#smbclient -L //samba -U chamy%chamy
Domain=[HOME] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.6]

    Sharename       Type      Comment
    ---------       ----      -------
    homes           Disk    
    share           Disk    
    IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba 3.5.6)
    chamy           Disk      Home directory of chamy
Domain=[HOME] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.6]

    Server               Comment
    ---------            -------
    SAMBA                Samba 3.5.6

    Workgroup            Master
    ---------            -------
    HOME                 SAMBA

Now the directory specified on the smb.conf are shares across the network

This is worked for me.

Using NFS Sharing the Directory in a LAN

NFSv4 server

Install the required packages...

• # apt-get install nfs-kernel-server 

NFSv4 exports exist in a single pseudo filesystem, where the real directories are mounted with the --bind option.

• to export directories in /home/users. First create the export filesystem:

  # mkdir -p /export/users 

  and mount the /home/chamy directory with:

  # mount --bind /home/chamy /export/users

  To save retyping this after every reboot add the following
  line to /etc/fstab

  /home/users    /export/users   none    bind  0  0

There are three configuration files that relate to an NFSv4 server:

/etc/default/nfs-kernel-server

/etc/default/nfs-common

/etc/exports

• In configuration file /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server set following:

  NEED_SVCGSSD=no # no is default

  because NFSv4 security is not activated this time.
  In /etc/default/nfs-common set:

  NEED_IDMAPD=yes
  NEED_GSSD=no # no is default

  because UID/GUID to be mapped from names.

In order for the ID names to be automatically mapped, both the client and server require the /etc/idmapd.conf file to have the same contents with the correct domain names. Furthermore, this file should have the following lines in the Mapping section:

• [Mapping]
  
  Nobody-User = nobody
  Nobody-Group = nogroup

  However, the client may have different requirements for the Nobody-User and Nobody-Group. For example on RedHatvariants, it's nfsnobody for both. Cat /etc/passwd and cat /etc/group should show the "nobody" accounts.

This way, server and client do not need the users to share same UID/GUID. 

For those who use LDAP-based authentication, add the following lines to user client's idmapd.conf:

[Translation]

Method = nsswitch

This will cause idmapd to know to look at nsswitch.conf to determine where it should look for credential information (and if LDAP authentication already working, nsswitch shouldn't require further explanation).

• To export our directories to a local network 192.168.1.0/24
  add the following two lines to /etc/exports

  /export       192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
  /export/users 192.168.1.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)

Now restart the service

• # /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

NFSv4 client

Install the required packages...

• # apt-get install nfs-common 

The client needs the same changes to /etc/default/nfs-common to connect to an NFSv4 server.

• In /etc/default/nfs-common set:

  NEED_IDMAPD=yes
  NEED_GSSD=no # no is default

  because UID/GUID to be mapped from names. This way, server and client do not need the users to share same UID/GUID. Remember that mount/fstab defaults to NFSv3, so "mount -t nfs4" is necessary to make this work.

On the client we can mount the complete export tree with one command:

• # mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 nfs-server:/ /mnt

  Note that nfs-server:/export is not necessary in NFSv4, as it is in NFSv3. The root export :/defaults to export withfsid=0.

It can fail sometimes with the message

mount.nfs4: No such device

To load the nfs module by giving the command

# modprobe nfs

mount an exported subtree with:

• # mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 nfs-server:/users /home/chamy07/users

To save us from retyping this after every reboot we add the following line to /etc/fstab:

• nfs-server or ipaddress:/   /mnt   nfs4    _netdev,auto  0  0

  The auto option mounts on startup and the _netdev option waits until system network devices are loaded. However this will not work withWiFi as WiFi is set up at the user level (after login) not at system startup. If user use _netdev with WiFi the boot process will pause waiting for the server to become available.

Note that _netdev only works with nfs version 3 and before. nfs4 ignores this option. Depending on how fast the network comes up on boot the mount entry may fail and the system will just keep booting. It can still be useful if user make own script to wait for the network to come up and then mount -a -O _netdev

Server doesn't come with any init.d/netfs or other scripts to do this for user.

Getting lines from the matching Line in BOSS GNU/Linux

To get the lines after from matching line use following pattern

input-text | grep -A NUM pattern-to-match

NUM is specify the number lines to printed or taken from input text

for example:

sudo ausearch -f / |grep -A 4 "Jun  8"

2:
To get the lines before from matching line use following pattern

input-text | grep -B NUM pattern-to-match

NUM is specify the number lines to printed or taken from input text

for example:

sudo ausearch -f / |grep -B 4 "Jun  8"

Grub Update

Already BOSS Linux OS installed in a partion in your hard disk and the entry is not updated inyour grub menu do the following

go to the directory called /etc/grub.d/


select the file name otheros  script file

edit the menu entry according to your where the os image is installed and initrd details in that.


menuentry "BOSS GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-3-486 (on /dev/sda9)" {
set root=(hd0,msdos9)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9ad508a7-678a-4c92-b229-3b77de46dcd8
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=/dev/sda9 ro pci=nommconf iommu=calgary vga=791 quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
}

after almodifications are over run type the following in terminal to exexute

update-grub2

now the grub will be updated

Now reboot the system.Missed entry will appear in boot menu
