Linux High Availability Clusters with Heartbeat, DRBD, and DRBDLinks
Sean Reifschneider
Linux clusters using Heartbeat and DRBD allow High Availability (HA) clusters to be created very inexpensively. In the past, HA clusters typically required a standalone RAID array (preferably Fibre Channel) in addition to the pair of servers. Now, for a fraction of the cost of a standalone RAID array and using entirely free software, an HA cluster can be built with Heartbeat and DRBD.
Encrypted NFS with OpenSSH and Linux
James Strandboge
The main weaknesses of NFS are its reliance on the inherently insecure UDP protocol, unencrypted transactions, problems authenticating hosts and users, and difficulties in firewalling. Strandboge supplies solutions to most of these problems for Linux clients and servers, which can be applied to any UNIX server with ssh installed.
