Lingering dhclient issue
by Alfred von Campe 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

I recently reconfigured some CentOS 4.3 systems that were using DHCP to use static IP addresses. At the same time, the systems were moved to a new VLAN. Here is the approximate sequence of events that took place: 1. ifdown eth0 2. edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with static IP address 3. wait for network folks to reconfigure switch 4. ifup eth0 I may have reversed steps 1 and 2 on some of the systems. The problem was that the dhclient process didn't go away, and kept renewing the old lease. Our DHCP server is configured to contact the DNS server and update the entry for each host it serves. So the DNS entries for these systems were pointing to the old address in the old VLAN. The eth0 interface itself just kept the static IP address for which it was configured. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. My question is, what could I have done to avoid this (other than killing the dhclient process)? Is there a better way to reconfigure an interface to use a static address? I am not interested in solutions that involve using a GUI (i.e., only command line solutions). Thanks, Alfred

In CentOS 4.1/2, what package contains this library: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3? I installed a couple of the compat- packages, but this library is still missing.

compilers a security risk?
by Dave Stevens 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

I manage a web hosting server that we've recently upgraded, in part so we could accommodate a domain that will enable community mapping. In a recent exchange of mails one developer said: "I could build the package directly on the server machine you have, provided that the potential security risk posed by having compilers installed is not an issue." and another said: "What sort of security risk is there in having compilers installed on a working server? "Obviously we can remove the compilers, however when Mapserver or postgis get updated, we will need to build new packages somewhere. One option: create a second VM for mapchat. We'll put the build environment on it, and only turn it on to make new packages." I don't have enough experience to assess the security issues. Does anyone have an opinion on this? It would be simple and feasible to allocate another domain as suggested above. Dave -- "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Krishnamurti

What is the best way to monitor the total incoming / outcoming network traffic of CentOS server. I think that the solution is to monitor the network interfaces and to send SNMP packets to remote server. But is it possible? regards

Shutdown/poweroff does not power off machine
by Scot P. Floess 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I've got a Dell Optiplex GX240 I am running CentOS 5.4 (kernel 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5.centos.plus)... When I had Fedora 11 and 12 on it, I could issue a poweroff command and the machine would power itself off. However, under CentOS it doesn't turn the machine off whatsoever. When it completes, the machine is still running with a message of "system halted." Then I have to physically hit the power button to turn it off... I believe at some point I did try to issue a shutdown command - but had the same results... Anyone have any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks ahead of time :) Scot P.

Bug in freeradius 1.1.3-1.5.el5_4 rpm
by Ian Forde 22 May '10

22 May '10

I upgraded one of my servers to CentOS 5.4 today. The freeradius service (radiusd) didn't start up due to permissions errors. I tracked it to the permissions on the /etc/raddb/certs/ directory being set to 640 rather than 750, so the radius user couldn't enter the directory. In the spec file from the source rpm, line 200 should read: %attr(750,root,radiusd) %config (noreplace) /etc/raddb/certs rather than the current: %attr(640,root,radiusd) %config (noreplace) /etc/raddb/certs Note that this bug also exists in the the 1.1.3-1.4.el5 version that's part of the CentOS 5.4 release. I'm not sure if it exists upstream though, but there it is... ;) -I

Centos-release srpm
by Tom Diehl 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get centos-release-5-4.el5.centos.1.src.rpm? I have looked on several mirrors and that one seems to be MIA. Even Google does not seem to know where it is. I need it so I can rebuild it with my local yum repos in it. Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl(a)rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123(a)rogueind.com
