Topic: Virtual Machines +What do we use? xen/kwm/vmware? I already done automatic setups for xen machines on our side. I could take a look. Could be hart whitout accessing the machines. + +2. Topic sympa emails +maybe we could maniulate the databases. For we use LDAP shouldnt be the problem if both systems can interact.  + +3. On the Sysadmin side +Backups could be done via bacula. i could set that up. Would be easy to integrate that in puppet for the clients. Needs talking about schedule for incremental and full backups. And i would need access to a backup server. + +4. This ruby puppet +I used to not running an puppetd on the none masters. I use a ssh script via public_key which rtuns the agent on the system when i need it. Its scripted. So after i made changes to puppet i trigger the script and let the client run. + +5. I made a copy of the puppet svn and will have a closer look this evening. + +Kind regards +________________________________ +From: nicolas vigier <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">boklm at mars-attacks.org</A>> +To: Mageia Sysadmin discussions <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">mageia-sysadm at mageia.org</A>> +Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 11:01 AM +Subject: Re: [Mageia-sysadm] Clearifying questions + +On Sun, 16 Sep 2012, Joerg Stephan wrote: + +><i> Good morning @All, +</I>><i> +</I>><i> i have some questions: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 1.
