Base Server Software Configuration
OpenSSH
OpenSSH Configuration
Configure the OpenSSH daemon:
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Set following options:
PubkeyAuthentication yes PasswordAuthentication yes UsePAM yes Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Make sure, that Subsystem sftp internal-sftp is the last line in the configuration file.
We want to reduce the numbers of chroot environments in one folder. As the ChrootDirectory configuration option only allows %h (home directory of the user) and %u (username of the user), we need to create the necessary matching rules in the form of:
Match User *000 ChrootDirectory /var/backup/000/%u AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/000/%u/%h/.ssh/authorized_keys Match Match User *001 ChrootDirectory /var/backup/001/%u AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/001/%u/%h/.ssh/authorized_keys Match ... Match User *999 ChrootDirectory /var/backup/999/%u AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/999/%u/%h/.ssh/authorized_keys Match
The creation of the matching rules is done by executing the following bash commands:
FILE=/etc/ssh/sshd_config; for x in {0..999} ; do \ printf "Match User *%03d\n" $x >> ${FILE}; \ printf " ChrootDirectory /var/backup/%03d/%%u\n" $x >> ${FILE}; \ printf " AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/%03d/%%u/%%h/.ssh/authorized_keys\n" $x >> ${FILE}; \ printf "Match\n" >> ${FILE}; \ done
Don't forget to restart the OpenSSH daemon:
/etc/init.d/sshd restart
OpenSSH Host Keys
If you migrate from a existing backup server, you might want to copy the ssh host keys to the new server. If you do so clients want see a difference between the two hosts as the fingerprint remains the same. Copy the following files from the existing host to the new:
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub
- /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
Set the correct permissions on the new host:
chmod 600 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key chmod 644 /etc/ssh/*.pub
And restart the ssh daemon. Caution: do not close your existing ssh session as long as you are not sure the ssh daemon has restarted properly and you can login again.
/etc/init.d/sshd restart
OpenLDAP
/etc/hosts
Update the /etc/hosts with the LDAP server:
/etc/hosts
# VIP of the LDAP Server 31.216.40.4 ldapm.stoney-cloud.org
Root CA Certificate Installation
Install the root CA certificate into the OpenSSL default certificate storage directory:
fqdn="cloud.stoney-cloud.org" # The fully qualified domain name of the server containing the root certificate. cd /etc/ssl/certs/ wget --no-check-certificate https://${fqdn}/ca/FOSS-Cloud_CA.cert.pem chown root:root /etc/ssl/certs/FOSS-Cloud_CA.cert.pem chmod 444 /etc/ssl/certs/FOSS-Cloud_CA.cert.pem
Rebuild the CA hashes
c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs/
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
Update the /etc/openldap/ldap.confLDAP configuration file/environment variables:
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
# Used to specify a size limit to use when performing searches. The number should be an # non-negative integer. SIZELIMIT of zero (0) specifies unlimited search size. SIZELIMIT 20000 # Used to specify a time limit to use when performing searches. The number should be an # non-negative integer. TIMELIMIT of zero (0) specifies unlimited search time to be used. TIMELIMIT 45 # Specify how aliases dereferencing is done. DEREF should be set to one of never, always, search, # or find to specify that aliases are never dereferenced, always dereferenced, dereferenced when # searching, or dereferenced only when locating the base object for the search. The default is to # never dereference aliases. DEREF never # Specifies the URI(s) of an LDAP server(s) to which the LDAP library should connect. The URI # scheme may be either ldapor ldaps which refer to LDAP over TCP and LDAP over SSL (TLS) # respectively. Each server's name can be specified as a domain- style name or an IP address # literal. Optionally, the server's name can followed by a ':' and the port number the LDAP # server is listening on. If no port number is provided, the default port for the scheme is # used (389 for ldap://, 636 for ldaps://). A space separated list of URIs may be provided. URI ldaps://ldapm.stoney-cloud.org # Used to specify the default base DN to use when performing ldap operations. The base must be # specified as a Distinguished Name in LDAP format. BASE dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org # This is a local copy of the certificate of the certificate authority # used to sign the server certificate for the LDAP server I am using TLS_CACERT /etc/ssl/certs/FOSS-Cloud_CA.cert.pem
Check you configuration by doing a search:
ldapsearch -v -H "ldaps://ldapm.stoney-cloud.org" \
-b "dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" \
-D "cn=Manager,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" \
-s one "(objectClass=*)" \
-LLL -W
The result should look something like:
ldap_initialize( ldaps://ldapm.stoney-cloud.org:636/??base ) filter: (objectClass=*) requesting: All userApplication attributes dn: ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: administration ...
Random Number Generator (haveged)
Tools like putty are dependent on random numbers to be able to create certificates.
haveged - Generate random numbers and feed linux random device
The haveged daemon doesn't need any special configuration, therefore you can start it from the command line interface:
/etc/init.d/haveged start
Check, if the start was successful:
ps auxf | grep haveged
root 18001 1.0 0.0 7420 3616 ? Ss 08:48 0:00 /usr/sbin/haveged -r 0 -w 1024 -v 1
Add the haveged daemon to the default run level:
rc-update add haveged default

Quota
32-bit Project Identifier Support
We need to enable 32-bit project identifier support (PROJID32BIT feature) for our naming scheme (uid numbers larger than 65'536), which is already the default on the stepping stone virtual machines:
mkfs.xfs -i projid32bit=1 /dev/vg-local-01/var
Update /etc/fstab and Mount
Make sure, that you have user quota (uqota) and project quota (pquota) set as options on the chosen mount point in /etc/fstab. For example:
LABEL=LV-VAR /var xfs noatime,discard,inode64,uquota,pquota 0 2
reboot
Check, if everything went ok:
df -h | grep var
/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var 1023G 220G 804G 22% /var
Verify
Some important options for xfs_quota:
- -x: Enable expert mode.
- -c: Pass arguments on the command line. Multiple arguments may be given.
Remount the file system /var and check, if /var has the desired values:
xfs_quota -x -c state /var
As you can see (items marked bold), we have achieved our goal:
User quota state on /var (/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var) Accounting: ON Enforcement: ON Inode: #131 (1 blocks, 1 extents) Group quota state on /var (/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var) Accounting: OFF Enforcement: OFF Inode: #132 (1 blocks, 1 extents) Project quota state on /var (/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var) Accounting: ON Enforcement: ON Inode: #132 (1 blocks, 1 extents) Blocks grace time: [7 days 00:00:30] Inodes grace time: [7 days 00:00:30] Realtime Blocks grace time: [7 days 00:00:30]
User Quotas
Adding a User Quota
Set a quota of 1 Gigabyte for the user 4000187 (the values are in kilobytes, so 1048576 kilobyte are 1024 megabytes which corresponds to 1 gigabyte):
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var
Or in bytes:
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=1073741824 4000187' /var
Read the quota information for the user 4000187:
xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -u 4000187' /var
/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var 0 0 1048576 00 [--------] /var
If the user has data in the project, that belongs to him, the result will change:
/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var 512000 0 1048576 00 [--------] /var
Modifiying a User Quota
To modify a users quota, you just set a new quota (limit):
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var
Read the quota information for the user 4000187:
xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -u 4000187' /var
/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var 0 0 1048576 00 [--------] /var
If the user has data in the project, that belongs to him, the result will change:
/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var 512000 0 1048576 00 [--------] /var
Removing a User Quota
Removing a quota for a user:
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=0 4000187' /var
The following command should give you an empty result:
xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -u 4000187' /var
Project (Directory) Quotas
Adding a Project (Directory) Quota
The XFS file system additionally allows you to set quotas on individual directory hierarchies in the file system that are known as managed trees. Each managed tree is uniquely identified by a project ID and an optional project name. We'll use the following values in the examples:
- project_ID: The uid of the online backup account (4000187).
- project_name: The uid of the online backup account (4000187). This could be a human readable name.
- mountpoint: The mountpoint of the xfs-filesystem (/var). See the
/etc/fstabentry from above. - directory: The directory of the project (187/4000187), starting from the mountpoint of the xfs-filesystem (/var).
Define a unique project ID for the directory hierarchy in the /etc/projects file (project_ID:mountpoint/directory):
echo "4000187:/var/backup/187/4000187/home/4000187" >> /etc/projects
Create an entry in the /etc/projid file that maps a project name to the project ID (project_name:project_ID):
echo "4000187:4000187" >> /etc/projid
Set Project:
xfs_quota -x -c 'project -s -p /var/backup/187/4000187/home/4000187 4000187' /var
Set Quota (limit) on Project:
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var
Check your Quota (limit)
xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -p 4000187' /var
Check the Quota:
-
-v: increase verbosity in reporting (also dumps zero values). -
-N: suppress the initial header. -
-p: display project quota information. -
-h: human readable format.
xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -p 4000187' /var
/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var 0 0 1048576 00 [--------] /var
If you copied data into the project, the output will look something like:
/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var 512000 0 1048576 00 [--------] /var
To give you an overall view of the whole system:
xfs_quota -x -c report /var
User quota on /var (/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var)

Modifying a Project (Directory) Quota
To modify a project (directory) quota, you just set an new quota (limit) on the chosen project:
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var
Check your quota (limit)
xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -p 4000187' /var
Removing a Project (Directory) Quota
Removing a quota from a project:
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=0 4000187' /var
Chreck the results:
xfs_quota -x -c report /var
User quota on /var (/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var)

User ID Used Soft Hard Warn/Grace
---------- --------------------------------------------------
root 512000 0 0 00 [--------]
4000187 0 0 1024 00 [--------]
As you can see, the line with the Project ID 4000187 has disappeared:
4000187 512000 0 1048576 00 [--------]
Don't forget to remove the project from /etc/projects and /etc/projid:
sed -i -e '/4000187/d' /etc/projects sed -i -e '/4000187/d' /etc/projid
Some important notes concerning XFS
- The quotacheck command has no effect on XFS filesystems. The first time quota accounting is turned on (at mount time), XFS does an automatic quotacheck internally; afterwards, the quota system will always be completely consistent until quotas are manually turned off.
- There is no need for quota file(s) in the root of the XFS filesystem.
prov-backup-rsnapshot
Install the prov-backup-rsnasphot daemon script using the package manager:
emerge -va sys-apps/sst-prov-backup-rsnapshot
Configuration
If it is the first provisioning module running on this server (very likely) you first have to configure the provisioning daemon (you can skip this step if you have already another provisioning module running on this server)
Provisioning global configuration
The global configuration for the provisioning daemon (which was installed with the first provisioning module and the sys-apps/sst-provisioning package) applies to all provisioning modules running on the server. This configuration therefore contains information about the provisioning daemon itself and no information at all about the specific modules.
