98 Chapter 8. Initial LVS Configuration
If you are clustering multi-port services or using firewall marks, you must also enable the
iptables service.
It is best to set these services to activate in both runlevel 3 and runlevel 5. To accomplish
this using chkconfig, type the following command for each service:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 35 daemon on
In the above command, replace daemon with the name of the service you are activating.
To get a list of services on the system as well as what runlevel they are set to activate on,
issue the following command:
/sbin/chkconfig --list
Warning
Turning any of the above services on using chkconfig does not actually
start the daemon. To do this use the /sbin/service command. See
Section 8.3 Starting the Piranha Configuration Tool Service for an example of how to
use the /sbin/service command.
For more information on runlevels and configuring services with ntsysv and the Services
Configuration Tool, refer to the chapter titled "Controlling Access to Services" in the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration Guide.
8.2. Setting a Password for the Piranha Configuration
Tool
Before using the Piranha Configuration Tool for the first time on the primary LVS router,
you must restrict access to it by creating a password. To do this, login as root and issue the
following command:
/usr/sbin/piranha-passwd
After entering this command, create the administrative password when prompted.
Warning
For a password to be more secure, it should not contain proper nouns, commonly used
acronyms, or words in a dictionary from any language. Do not leave the password unen-
crypted anywhere on the system.
