In this chapter, you implement 30 a distributed DHCP server environment, a distributed DNS server arrangement, a centralized 31 WINS server, and a centralized Samba domain controller. 32 </p><p> 33 A note of caution is important regarding the Samba configuration that is used in this 34 chapter. The use of a single domain controller on a routed, multisegment network is 35 a poor design choice that leads to potential network user complaints. 36 This chapter demonstrates some successful 37 techniques in deployment and configuration management. This should be viewed as a 38 foundation chapter for complex Samba deployments. 39 </p><p> 40 As you master the techniques presented here, you may find much better methods to 41 improve network management and control while reducing human resource overheads. 42 You should take the opportunity to innovate and expand on the methods presented 43 here and explore them to the fullest. 44 </p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id330645"></a>Introduction</h2></div></div></div><p> 45 Business continues to go well for Abmas. Mr. Meany is driving your success and the 46 network continues to grow thanks to the hard work Christine has done. You recently 47 hired Stanley Soroka as manager of information systems. Christine recommended Stan 48 to the role. She told you Stan is so good at handling Samba that he can make a cast 49 iron rocking horse that is embedded in concrete kick like a horse at a rodeo. You 50 need skills like his. Christine and Stan get along just fine. Let's see what 51 you can get out of this pair as they plot the next-generation networks. 52 </p><p> 53 Ten months ago Abmas closed an acquisition of a property insurance business. The 54 founder lost interest in the business and decided to sell it to Mr. Meany. Because 55 they were former university classmates, the purchase was concluded with mutual assent. 56 The acquired business is located at the other end of town in much larger facilities. 57 The old Abmas building has become too small. Located on the same campus as the newly 58 acquired business are two empty buildings that are ideal to provide Abmas with 59 opportunity for growth. 60 </p><p> 61 Abmas has now completed the purchase of the two empty buildings, and you are 62 to install a new network and relocate staff in nicely furnished new facilities. 63 The new network is to be used to fully integrate company operations. You have 64 decided to locate the new network operations control center in the larger building 65 in which the insurance group is located to take advantage of an ideal floor space 66 and to allow Stan and Christine to fully stage the new network and test it before 67 it is rolled out. Your strategy is to complete the new network so that it 68 is ready for operation when the old office moves into the new premises. 69 </p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id330675"></a>Assignment Tasks</h3></div></div></div><p> 70 The acquired business had 280 network users. The old Abmas building housed 71 220 network users in unbelievably cramped conditions. The network that 72 initially served 130 users now handles 220 users quite well. 73 </p><p> 74 The two businesses will be fully merged to create a single campus company. 75 The Property Insurance Group (PIG) houses 300 employees, the new Accounting 76 Services Group (ASG) will be in a small building (BLDG1) that houses 50 77 employees, and the Financial Services Group (FSG) will be housed in a large 78 building that has capacity for growth (BLDG2). Building 2 houses 150 network 79 users. 80 </p><p> 81 You have decided to connect the building using fiber optic links between new 82 routers. As a backup, the buildings are interconnected using line-of-sight 83 high-speed infrared facilities. The infrared connection provides a 84 secondary route to be used during periods of high demand for network 85 bandwidth. 86 </p><p> 87 The Internet gateway is upgraded to 15 Mb/sec service. Your ISP 88 provides on your premises a fully managed Cisco PIX firewall. You no longer need 89 to worry about firewall facilities on your network. 90 </p><p> 91 Stanley and Christine have purchased new server hardware. Christine wants to 92 roll out a network that has whistles and bells. Stan wants to start off with 93 a simple to manage, not-too-complex network. He believes that network 94 users need to be gradually introduced to new features and capabilities and not 95 rushed into an environment that may cause disorientation and loss of productivity. 96 </p><p> 97 Your intrepid network team has decided to implement a network configuration 98 that closely mirrors the successful system you installed in the old Abmas building. 99 The new network infrastructure is owned by Abmas, but all desktop systems 100 are being procured through a new out-source services and leasing company. Under 101 the terms of a deal with Mr. M. Proper (CEO), DirectPointe, Inc., provides 102 all desktop systems and includes full level-one help desk support for 103 a flat per-machine monthly fee. The deal allows you to add workstations on demand. 104 This frees Stan and Christine to deal with deeper issues as they emerge and 105 permits Stan to work on creating new future value-added services. 106 </p><p> 107 DirectPointe Inc. receives from you a new standard desktop configuration 108 every four months. They automatically roll that out to each desktop system. 109 You must keep DirectPointe informed of all changes. 110 </p><p><a class="indexterm" name="id330732"></a> 111 The new network has a single Samba Primary Domain Controller (PDC) located in the 112 Network Operation Center (NOC). Buildings 1 and 2 each have a local server 113 for local application servicing. It is a domain member. The new system 114 uses the <em class="parameter"><code>tdbsam</code></em> passdb backend. 115 </p><p> 116 Printing is based on raw pass-through facilities just as it has been used so far. 117 All printer drivers are installed on the desktop and notebook computers. 118 </p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id330756"></a>Dissection and Discussion</h2></div></div></div><p> 119 <a class="indexterm" name="id330764"></a> 120 The example you are building in this chapter is of a network design that works, but this 121 does not make it a design that is recommended. As a general rule, there should be at least 122 one Backup Domain Controller (BDC) per 150 Windows network clients. The principle behind 123 this recommendation is that correct operation of MS Windows clients requires rapid 124 network response to all SMB/CIFS requests. The same rule says that if there are more than 125 50 clients per domain controller, they are too busy to service requests. Let's put such 126 rules aside and recognize that network load affects the integrity of domain controller 127 responsiveness. This network will have 500 clients serviced by one central domain 128 controller. This is not a good omen for user satisfaction. You, of course, address this 129 very soon (see <a href="happy.html" title="Chapter�5.�Making Happy Users">???</a>). 130 </p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id330784"></a>Technical Issues</h3></div></div></div><p> 131 Stan has talked you into a horrible compromise, but it is addressed. Just make 132 certain that the performance of this network is well validated before going live. 133 </p><p> 134 Design decisions made in this design include the following: 135 </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p> 136 <a class="indexterm" name="id330804"></a> 137 <a class="indexterm" name="id330811"></a> 138 <a class="indexterm" name="id330817"></a> 139 A single PDC is being implemented. This limitation is based on the choice not to 140 use LDAP. Many network administrators fear using LDAP because of the perceived 141 complexity of implementation and management of an LDAP-based backend for all user 142 identity management as well as to store network access credentials. 143 </p></li><li><p> 144 <a class="indexterm" name="id330831"></a> 145 <a class="indexterm" name="id330838"></a> 146 Because of the refusal to use an LDAP (ldapsam) passdb backend at this time, the 147 only choice that makes sense with 500 users is to use the tdbsam passwd backend. 148 This type of backend is not receptive to replication to BDCs. If the tdbsam 149 <code class="filename">passdb.tdb</code> file is replicated to BDCs using 150 <code class="literal">rsync</code>, there are two potential problems: (1) data that is in 151 memory but not yet written to disk will not be replicated, and (2) domain member 152 machines periodically change the secret machine password. When this happens, there 153 is no mechanism to return the changed password to the PDC. 154 </p></li><li><p> 155 All domain user, group, and machine accounts are managed on the PDC. This makes 156 for a simple mode of operation but has to be balanced with network performance and 157 integrity of operations considerations. 158 </p></li><li><p> 159 <a class="indexterm" name="id330872"></a> 160 A single central WINS server is being used. The PDC is also the WINS server. 161 Any attempt to operate a routed network without a WINS server while using NetBIOS 162 over TCP/IP protocols does not work unless on each client the name resolution 163 entries for the PDC are added to the <code class="filename">LMHOSTS</code>. This file is 164 normally located on the Windows XP Professional client in the 165 <code class="filename">C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ETC\DRIVERS</code> directory. 166 </p></li><li><p> 167 At this time the Samba WINS database cannot be replicated. That is 168 why a single WINS server is being implemented. This should work without a problem. 169 </p></li><li><p> 170 <a class="indexterm" name="id330904"></a> 171 BDCs make use of <code class="literal">winbindd</code> to provide 172 access to domain security credentials for file system access and object storage. 173 </p></li><li><p> 174 <a class="indexterm" name="id330922"></a> 175 <a class="indexterm" name="id330931"></a> 176 Configuration of Windows XP Professional clients is achieved using DHCP. Each 177 subnet has its own DHCP server. Backup DHCP serving is provided by one 178 alternate DHCP server. This necessitates enabling of the DHCP Relay agent on 179 all routers. The DHCP Relay agent must be programmed to pass DHCP Requests from the 180 network directed at the backup DHCP server. 181 </p></li><li><p> 182 All network users are granted the ability to print to any printer that is 183 network-attached. All printers are available from each server. Print jobs that 184 are spooled to a printer that is not on the local network segment are automatically 185 routed to the print spooler that is in control of that printer. The specific details 186 of how this might be done are demonstrated for one example only. 187 </p></li><li><p> 188 The network address and subnetmask chosen provide 1022 usable IP addresses in 189 each subnet. If in the future more addresses are required, it would make sense 190 to add further subnets rather than change addressing. 191 </p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id330961"></a>Political Issues</h3></div></div></div><p> 192 This case gets close to the real world. You and I know the right way to implement 193 domain control. Politically, we have to navigate a minefield. In this case, the need is to 194 get the PDC rolled out in compliance with expectations and also to be ready to save the day 195 by having the real solution ready before it is needed.

This necessitates that IP forwarding be enabled. This can be 375 achieved by adding to the <code class="filename">/etc/rc.d/boot.local</code> an entry as follows: 376</p><pre class="screen"> 377echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 378</pre><p> 379 To ensure that your kernel is capable of IP forwarding during configuration, you may wish to execute 380 that command manually also. This setting permits the Linux system to act as a router. 381 </p></li><li><p> 382 This server is dual hosted (i.e., has two network interfaces) one goes to the Internet 383 and the other to a local network that has a router that is the gateway to the remote networks. 384 You must therefore configure the server with route table entries so that it can find machines 385 on the remote networks. You can do this using the appropriate system tools for your Linux 386 server or using static entries that you place in one of the system startup files. It is best 387 to always use the tools that the operating system vendor provided. In the case of SUSE Linux, the 388 best tool to do this is YaST (refer to SUSE Administration Manual); in the case of Red Hat, 389 this is best done using the graphical system configuration tools (see the Red Hat documentation). 390 An example of how this may be done manually is as follows: 391</p><pre class="screen"> 392<code class="prompt">root# </code> route add net 172.16.4.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 gw 172.16.0.128 393<code class="prompt">root# </code> route add net 172.16.8.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 gw 172.16.0.128 394</pre><p> 395 If you just execute these commands manually, the route table entries you have created are 396 not persistent across system reboots.

At this time, it does 970 not particularly matter which application server is used. It is necessary to manually 971 set a persistent drive mapping to the local applications server on each workstation at the time of 972 installation. This step is avoided by the improvements to the design of the network configuration 973 in the next chapter. 974 </p></li><li><p> 975 Perform an administrative installation of each application to be used. Select the options 976 that you wish to use. Of course, you choose to run applications over the network, correct? 977 </p></li><li><p> 978 Now install all applications to be installed locally. Typical tools include Adobe Acrobat, 979 NTP-based time synchronization software, drivers for specific local devices such as fingerprint 980 scanners, and the like. Probably the most significant application to be locally installed 981 is antivirus software. 982 </p></li><li><p> 983 Now install all four printers onto the staging system.
