I realized after I posted that a recommendation would probably be to update. However, due to some other rather heavy modifications to the PXE menu, other host reg questions, and even a handful or two of the php files, it would be counter-productive to take away so much automation that I’ve built up over the years. Our techs would be thrown back into manual processes until I could modify the new build to be similar to the current.

Anyway, I gave up on trying to inject ssh into the init.gz file, and instead made a wget call after host reg with post-data to a php file that could then in turn run the ssh commands I needed. ^_^ Go me.

Thanks for the time y’all took to reply, though! I appreciate it!

We’re still on Fog 0.32 and want to have units automatically approved in PacketFence when we register a system.

I have found how to do this via their pfcmd script and was able to successfully run tests via ssh from the standard Ubuntu shell on the Fog Server. Now, I need to figure out how to “install” ssh capabilities in the init.gz file. I know how to extract the contents and repackage them, that’s not an issue. My issue is that I simply don’t know (nor can I Google-find) which files, from where, should go where.

I tried copying “/usr/bin/ssh” to “initmountdir/usr/bin/ssh” as well as a few /etc/ssh, /lib, and /lib64 files and their symlinks. But, alas, I still get error messages as if there’s some prerequisite missing. Here’s the error message at the time of this writing:

So… does anyone know how properly inject ssh into init.gz?

TIA

So, I found the Imaging Log (v 0.32), that gives unicast information. However, is there anywhere that logs Upload information? Specifically, which user clicked the Upload button on a certain date?

Keith,
I also am trying to image some Lenovo Yoga S1; however, I can’t even get to Fog’s pxe boot menu with a USB to RJ45. What are your BIOS settings set at, such that the system is allowing you to utilize it? If you can help me get that far, I’ll be able to report back as to whether I’m getting the same errors as you are.

Rock on, Tom! Thank you so much for your help!

I am so sorry. I’m used to [I]not[/I] posting on forums, only searching and skimming them and the wikii.

FOG Version: 0.32
OS Version: Ubuntu 13.04

The one that says:
[code]Would you like to add this host to AD (using default settings)? (y/N)[/code]
We want to change (y/N) to (Y/n).

Okay, so I never start a thread, on any forum, until me and at least two of my peers have exhausted Google.
We’re looking to change the answer to question during the Full Registration process to default to ‘Y’ instead on ‘N’.
This started out as more for convenience sake than anything, but seems to have turned into a personal vendetta. TIA

[quote]Is the IP setup to point at your storage node[?][/quote]
Fortunately, no. We had a typo in that field. 10.10.1.110 can look so much like 10.1.10.110 even after three technicians and a hundred glance-overs!!

Thanks! Files are transferring now and we feel sillyheaded, but that did it!

Also, for kicks, I went ahead and tried to change the management username and password to ‘Something’ and ‘Bogus’, and the log is still reporting the ‘max-retries exceeded’ error… still with no login errors in the log.

Okay… so I updated the management username and password in the Fog GUI. I then ran:
[code]sudo service FOGImageReplicator restart[/code]
and the error is still the same as when I first started this thread
Any other troubleshooting I can try?

But the Wiki said to put there what the script spit out…
Link: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#Adding_a_Storage_Node[/url]

Or am I misinterpreting?

We have a user account on the node, and we can perform what we need to perform in ftp via the initial system setup account, no problem, from the server. But where, in Fog, do I tell the main server what that username and password is for the node’s ftp?

Besides which, I’m not getting any Login errors in the log files

Thanks for the reply.

I can confirm that we are able to mkdir, rmdir, get, and put multiple files to and from the server… from the node.

However, we can only ftp from the server to the node using the account credentials we setup during the OS installation. Using the ‘fogstorage’ and ‘fsXXXX’ that the installfog.sh script gave us returns access denied. Besides, I am under the impression those are the node’s MySQL credentials, not ftp credentials, in the first place.

We’re getting an error in the Replicator log.
[code]SubProcess -> mirror: Fatal error: max-retries exceeded[/code]
No other errors, anywhere.
Uploads, and uni- and multicast deployments work fine and dandy from the main, default member.
I can ping the node from the main.
I can ftp to the main from the node (with username:fog and password:–super-long-password-I-didn’t-create)

Hours of Google research has helped us with our other few issues, but unfortunately has provided no help this time.
We haven’t had a Storage Node before, this is the first time.

I’ve never posted here before either. What other information do you need from me?
