Gnumeric
by centos＠911networks.com 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, I am trying to install Gnumeric in CentOS 4 and I can't. It complains about quite a few dependencies failing. It suggested installing some postgresql librairies, openldap librairies... I did that, now I still get: dependencies failed: libmdb/libmdbsq/libsqlite/libxbase/libtds. Is there a yum repository that has them or a yum repository for gnumeric? I have tried Dag, he does not, he has libgda, but that has other requirements... -- Thanks

Install Guide for PostFix (with DoveCot, SquirrelMail, MailScanner, ClamAV) on CentOS-4
by Johnny Hughes 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Ok, I have been working (for quite a while) on an install guide for PostFix (with DoveCot, SquirrelMail, MailScanner, ClamAV) on CentOS-4. A full install is part 1 (Postfix / Dovecot / Cyrus-Sasl), Part 3 (SquirrelMail) and Part 4 (MailScanner, Spam Assassin, ClamAV). I am still working on Part 2 (Postfix / Cyrus-Imap / Cyrus-Sasl). It will go with Part 3 and Part 4 (same as above) to get a full install that includes Cyrus-Imapd instead of dovecot ... should be done with this one in the next couple days. So to reiterate, Part 1,3,4 is a full postfix/dovecot install ... it is done and ready to go. Parts 2,3,4 is a full postfix/cyrus-imapd install ... this one is not quite done yet. Part 1 is here: http://www.hughesjr.com/content/view/40/2/Site_News Thanks Johnny Hughes

SD Card Reader not being recognized
by Dave Gutteridge 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

I have a USB card reader that handles various card media, like SD cards, Sony Memory Sticks, and two other formats that I can't even remember what they are. I pretty much exclusively use it for SD cards. With Fedora, when I plugged the card reader into the USB port, and then inserted an SD card, it would automatically come up on the desk top. However, this is not the case with CentOS. Nothing comes up. Naturally, I searched Google for information, hoping that maybe it was just a matter of downloading an RPM or something. But I did not come across any information that helped. Is there a setting that I need to activate in order for CentOS to recognize SD Cards and/or the USB card reader? Dave

How to query the package owning the file? (no packahe manger installed)
by Prasad Pillarisetti 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Guys recently I had this question asked in a technical interview. How do I find out the package owning a particular file, when no package managers are installed? I am assuimg SRPMs are used to install the software? Is this actually possible? Install the Linux OS without a package manager? I know "rpm -qf filename" gives the package owning the file. But how to get the package name when I don't have any package manager? Maybe this was a question to rattle me? -- Prasad Pillarisetti "If everything is coming your way, then you are in the wrong lane"

RE: [CentOS] Japanese Language Support?
by kenkensmile＠netscape.net 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

Hi, Just install CentOS using Japanese, so you can use Japanese on Gnome. It means that when you are installing CentOS, you must choose Japanese language . When you get on your account, click language and choose Japanese as well before typing your user name and password. You just push Ctrl and space at the same time, so you can type Japanese on Firefox, Mozilla, Openoffice and so on. For example, if you want to type "さよなら", you need to type "SAYONARA" on your English keyboard. If you want to use Chinese characters for Japanese language, push space after typing Japanese, so you can choose Chinese characters. Hope that this helps you.

Gnome Logouts -- are very slow or they hang -- 2nd post
by BRUCE STANLEY 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

! I just installed Centos 4.1 (i386) on one of my test drives. When ever I try to logout of a Gnome session, it seems to hang but if I wait about 4-5 minutes it will usually logout, although I have had it hang a couple of times (never logs out). When I do an ALT-TAB-F1, and log in as 'root', I can see the following processes still hanging around after Gnome finally does logout: /usr/libexec/gam_server /usr/bin/ssh_agent -s For every log in session I try, there is a copy of the 'ssh_agent' still hanging around after Gnome finally logs out. Could this be what's causing the problem? KDE logins will also cause these two programs to hang aroud, but it will usually logout in a timely fashion. Any help would be appreciated.

Business software for Linux
by William Warren 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

I am hoping to find a inventory management program suitable for something like a bookstore or other 1-5 person smb. The software would need to be able to accept inputs from wireless handheld scanning devices for entry into the system. It must also work with their windows based PoS computer. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

bash file direct execution
by dan1 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hi all. I have a little strange problem. I created a file called 'test.sh' in the root directory containing: #!/bin/sh echo test When I execute it with '/test.sh' there is no output. When I source it by executing it with '. /test.sh' the output comes ok. When I move it to '/root' and execute it with '/root/test.sh' then it works perfectly. When I move it to '/home' and execute it with '/home/test.sh' there is no output. Could someone tell me what I shoud do to make the script run without sourcing it with '.' ? This problem happens only on one CentOS 4 box I have, on the others it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong ? The permissions are 755 on the file itself, and I execute them logged as root. Thanks, Daniel

Linux newbie asks about sonypi on laptop
by Ralph Loizzo 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Okay. I've been able to set my laptop's screen brighter by working with the program spicctrl and the sonypi device. But everytime I boot, I login under my username then have to do the following every time... First I go into the bash terminal, then su because I can't do this under my login name mknod /dev/sonypi c 10 250 #because sonypi is not listed in /dev - it disappears everytime I shut down then I type chmod o+w sonypi #because I want to be able under my login name, not root, to set the brightness then i exit su and type spicctrl --setbrightness=150 and it works... My questions are: Why do I have to recreate the device every time? Shouldn't it be there every time? Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Ralph Loizzo

Reinstall Windows but preserve CentOS
by Dave Gutteridge 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

I have a computer that dual boots between Windows and CentOS. Each has it's own hard drive. I suddenly have a problem with Windows, and may need to reinstall. I need it for applications like After Effects, Premiere, and other things that I am currently in the middle of a project with. It seems the system has become usnstable, it's preventing me from continuing to work, and I may need to wipe the Windows partition clean and start again. My concern is that if I do that, I will lose the Grub boot loader and not be able to access CentOS again. How can I reinstall Windows with a clean partition, and preserve my dual booting? Dave

filesystem corruption: resize inode not valid
by dan1 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hello. I am having a problem with one CentOS 4 box I have installed. It worked perfectly for several days, was used as a gateway on my LAN. After having reached the limit of the disk size by copying stuff from a windows box to a samba shared drive on the centOS box, and after making a reboot, the server didn't come up anymore. Looking at it I was thrown to the repair console and when doing an 'e2fsck /dev/md1' there was the following message: "resize inode not valid". >From there on, I can answer to the repair questions, but after finishing the filesystem repair, and redoing a filesystem check (after reboot or not) the same error message comes up. I cannot go out of it and the ext3 filesystem (in software raid 1) seems completely mixed up. Did somebody else have this problem already ? I had a look around the internet and I have seen several people having had this problem these last months. I was using the e2fsck verison 1.35 (current version of CentOS). Thanks for any help one could provide. Daniel

Tyan Thunder K8SE S2892 Report
by Kirk Bocek 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

I had my eye on the Tyan dual-Opteron mobos for awhile. I tried to find a posting *anywhere* sharing experiences with these boards under Linux. No such luck. So placing myself under the heading "Where Angles Fear to Tread," I went ahead and built a system anyway. Here's what I've learned. The specs: Tyan Thunder K8SE S2892, BIOS 1.01 2x Opteron 270, 2Ghz Dual-Core, retail package with fan 2GB RAM (4x SuperTalent 512MB P/N D32RB12P3) 3Ware 9500S-4LP 4 port SATA controller 4x 200GB Segate ST3200826AS 7200.8 SATA (attached to 3Ware controller) 1x 80GB Wester Digital WD800JD-00LSA0 SATA (attached to onboard controller) Antec Truepower 2.0 550W PSU Chenming 901A-0-0 RTL Case Supermicro 5-drive SATA HD Cage CentOS 4.1 x86_64 I thought I bought a plenty large case. Turns out the CPU heat sink at the front of the motherboard sticks up far enough to interfere with the drive bays at the bottom of the case. I had carefully mounted the CPUs, heat sinks and memory before mounting the motherboard. When I tried to insert the motherboard, the front heat sink hit the shelf that supports one of the two internal hard drive cages that come with the Chenming case. I had to peel off the heat sink to get the board in then reinstall it -- something I didn't want to do. If the case was 9" wide instead of 8", this probably wouldn't be an issue. The heat sink sticks up far enough to keep me from reinstalling the internal hard drive cages. Not a problem since I'm using the Supermicro SATA cage, but it bugs me to lose expansion possibilities. Can anyone recommend a "low-rise" Opteron heat sink? I hadn't yet purchased an optical drive and so was planning on booting the install program from a USB key. However I could not get the BIOS to recognize the key. I put 'removable drives' at the top of the boot preferences but it refused to recognize the key. I ended up doing a PXE boot install instead. The install hung once forcing me to restart. But after that the install process was the fastest I've ever seen, taking about seven minutes to copy everything. Booting the first time, I was happy to see that everything was recognized by the system, all three network ports, the Nvidia SATA controller and even the 3Ware controller. However, the boot messages showed: warning: many lost ticks. Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interrupts and several repeating messages: powernow-k8: error - out of sync... Also, /proc/cpuinfo showed each cpu as running at about 1004Mhz with about 900 bogomips. Not what I expected. I decided to press ahead and added a couple of drives the the 3Ware, created a unit, formatted it and began benchmarking the array. The "powernow" messages continued to occur and then the 3Ware driver started issuing error messages. Eventually the system crashed and stopped responding. Googling on the powernow error message let me know that the kernel wizards had started to fix some powernow bugs starting with about kernel 2.6.10. Of course the stock CentOS 4.1 kernel is 2.6.9-11. So I downloaded, compiled and installed kernel 2.6.12.3. On rebooting, the error messages went away and the 3Ware worked without complaint. Now /proc/cpuinfo showed each cpu running at 2009.267 Mhz with 4014.08 bogomips. Ah, much better! In addition, the system came up in with NUMA enabled. Looks like the Red Hat kernel had it turned off by default. I benchmarked disk array performance using Bonnie++ version 1.03a. I ran six benchmarks using 50GB of data, three using 16k blocks and three using 64k blocks. During the raid 0 testing I had two instances of Setiathome running. During the raid 5 testing I had three instances of Setiathome running.

Writes drop to about 35MB/Sec under raid 5, about 25% of the raid 0 performance. In fact, it was taking so long that I aborted the last test. Just to be sure that setiathome wasn't interfering, I killed seti and reran a smaller test. Writes increased to about 50MB/Sec without seti running. I was expecting some hit for raid 5 but not this much. Guess I'll stick with the hot rsync backups to other hosts scheme that I'm using now. As a final test, I restarted the 50GB benchmark under raid5 and popped out one of the drives. There was a pause while I guess the 3Ware controller decided that the drive actually went off-line. The writing then continued to the remaining three disks. Checking the controller showed that both the drive and the unit were 'DEGRADED.' After popping the disk back in, I had to remove and re-add the drive to the array configuration then start the rebuild process. At this point the drive showed 'DEGRADED' and the unit showed 'REBUILDING.' The 3Ware drive logged appropriate messages when the disk was removed and replaced. I didn't bother finishing the rebuild, but it looked like it would take a couple of hours to finish if I let the benchmark continue to run. The 3Ware controller is pretty cool. As I said, the driver (3w-9xxx) is included in the 2.6 kernel. 3Ware provides a simple CLI utility for management. They also have a GUI tool but I didn't bother running it. You can create, remove and verify 'units' on a running system. The associated /dev entries are dynamically added and removed as you make changes. Very nice. In summary, the Tyan S2892 plus the 3Ware controller runs well under CentOS 4.1 although you will have to update to a more current kernel than the one provided by Red Hat. Watch your clearance at the front of the motherboard when selecting a case. Comments and corrections are encouraged. Kirk Bocek

Hi, I've a nautilus problem with CentOS 4. It doesn't show the desktop items any more (also after dropping all gnome files/dirs from a users homedir) en the right mouse button menu also doesn't work. Googling around I've found various items about the problem but until now not a clear solution. Some people mention some 'browser mode in nautilus preferences'. But I can't get there. Even if I login with a KDE desktop I can't launch nautilus (nothing happens). Any ideas? I've SELinux enabled, I hope that's not related?

Text to Speech on CentOS4
by James B. Byrne 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

I am setting up a laptop (Sony VAIO PCG-4?) for my learning disabled son (age 11). I have previously used MicroSoft 2Kpro and XPpro / Office 2K platforms for text-to-speech applications as that is what most commercial LD Assist software is written for. However, with MS now requiring that one inventories ones entire computer software configuration with them before getting updates to their software coupled with the high risk nature of doing without those updates, I am reluctant to continue this practice. What I am looking for is a robust, good quality, text-to-speech reader that can work with Open Office under CentOS4. I have googled extensively but frankly I need a bit of guidance as to what is the best of breed available. If the package uses/supports ATT Natural Voices as an option then that would be wonderful as I already have the necessary licences for those voices. Does anyone here have any experience with this type of software and can recommend a particular package? Commercial apps. are fine. It is functionality I am after, not economies. My next requirement will be an OCR package equivalent in function and accuracy to AABBY Fine Reader. Any suggestions there? Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is NOT a secure channel *** James B.

Bugs in 3Ware 9.2? -- FWD: [Bug 121434] Extremely high iowait with 3Ware array and moderate disk activity

Just came in from Bugzilla ... Subject: [Bug 121434] Extremely high iowait with 3Ware array and moderate disk activity https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121434 ------- Additional Comments From thomas.oulevey(a)elonex.ch 2005-07-29 08:55 EST ------- Hello, About the Linux 2.4 driver, we realized that we have big problem with the 9.2 driver. The 9.1.5.2 was fine. In fact the 9.2 firmware delivered (FE9X 2.06.00.009) with the driver is buggy if you use more than 1 unit. (Hotspares are considered as an unit.). We got a new firmware from 3ware support and it solves the problem. With some tweaking and 5 x RAID 5 volume on 3 x 3ware card (capacity around 5TB) we got with the iozone test 160MB/s write and 270MB/s Read. If you want more detailed information contact me.

Japanese Language Support?
by Dave Gutteridge 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

When I installed CentOS, I was careful to install Japanese language support. However, now that CentOS is running, I can't seem to get Japanese language input going. I clicked on the top menu bar to add the "Input Method Switcher", and now there is a little white square on the top panel. If I click on it, gives me the option of using ASCII input, or to "Add or Remove". If I click on "Add or Remove", I get an "Add or Remove Languages" dialoge box, which is empty. There are no languages to add to the list of selections, and nothing in the area marked "Languages shown in menu" either. There are also no options to install languages. I went to Applications | System Settings | Add/Remove Applications to look for language settings, but they weren't there. How do I get my Japanese language input up and running? Dave

[CentOS] New to CentOS, and wondering about application availability
by Dave Gutteridge 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Centos Mailing List, Hello. I have just recently installed CentOS on my home computer, and just joined this mailing list. I have a lot of questions so I will have quite a few postings in the next few days. I was using Fedora Core 4 for a few weeks, but it was unstable and had trouble reading some of my DVD drives and other issues. So, I decided to switch to another distribution. I saw on one site that the three distros being nominated for best distribution by user's vote were Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora Core. I tried Ubuntu, but the installer kept failing. So I went to CentOS. Anyway, long story short, CentOS looks and feels just like Fedora (which I like), and it reads all my DVD drives normally, so I think I could be happy with it. But... When I tried to install Xine, using yum, it said it could not find it. And then I went looking for an RPM for Xine, and they're all for Red Hat or Fedora. I tried installing an RPM for Fedora anyway, reasoning that maybe they were the same in more than just looks, but no dice. As I looked around the net, it seems that applications all seem to have specific builds for Red Hat, Fedora, a couple of Debian builds... but no CentOS. Going by the amount of available information and support, Fedora is the primary Linux distribution, and CentOS hardly even exists. Can't I have it all? Stability, the ability to read my DVD drives, *and* a variety of applications? Is there any kind of resource for instructions on installing CentOS like there is this one for Fedora: http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html Dave

what the best ? apt-get? yum or urpmi ?
by Security 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hello, I must make a choice concerning the use of a tool used to update rpms: yum, urpmi or apt-get. Personally, I use urpmi every day, without real problems (the dependences, even those of Perl are very well managed), the "hdlist" can be used in several forms , it contains a lot of funtions but, it is not integrated into up2date and does not have a graphic interface that fits Centos3 without break all depedencies. There are also the two others: yum and apt-get. Because Centos uses yum, I would like to have a feedback: speed of calculations for the dependences, comparative with apt-get. There are already opinions on the question (yum is easy to install, more flexible, but less powerful. and to connect itself itself to the sources + download the lists of packages even if no update is avaible...... grrr). So, Wthat need I to use for a Centos-like ditribution? (It's to intagrate the tool on Gralinux final) apt-get + synaptic?? yum+yumi???urpmi in command line only ??? Thanks :) jean-seb

vsftpd and Kickstart
by Ken Leyba 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

I'm trying to setup a kickstart server that will use ftp. I created a user account and put the ISO images in /home/centos. I created a directory /home/centos/disc1 and mounted the first ISO image there. When I try to do the ftp install I keep getting an error "Unable to retrieve ftp://my.ftpserver.com//home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img" I tried different versions of the ftp directory but the error above is using /home/centos/disc1. If I manually ftp into the machine and cd to /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/ I can get netstg2.img. However if I do it like this it won't work: ftp> get /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img local: ./home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img remote: /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img local: ./home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img: No such file or directory ftp> pwd 257 "/home/centos" So, I don't know if vsftpd isn't configured correctly or if I'm not doing something right with the kickstart install. I haven't created a kickstart file yet or mounted the other CD's, I just want to get the install part working first. Ken -- Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. -Pablo Picasso

Okay, I did some elementary research and it appears it was never adopted in the stock 2.4 kernel. Although 2.6 seems to have been designed for it -- although I see the issues you were talking about, largely when user >2GiB. I'd be interested in finding out if they have the same issues with the 64GiB mode and formal PAE36 paging. Anyhoo, my apologies on that _poor_ assumption. Given my lack of exposure to stock kernels, I should have kept my mouth shut. I don't know why I didn't put 2-2 together. But it should be noted that it's no longer a Red Hat-only thing. I've seen several non-Red Hat (or long-gone Red Hat forked) distros who are using it. I should have made my responses in that context. Again, my apologies for that. -- Bryan J.

There is no further information available other than it was listed within the driver disk creation utility as a Red Hat Enterprise 3 driver. Versions 3.3 and 3.4 are the only two of the 3.x line that support the x86_64 architecture. Which version of the two would you recommend as a starting off point? -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Johnny Hughes Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 12:57 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] CentOS and Red Hat SATA drivers On Wed, July 27, 2005 11:51 am, Kaplan, Andrew H. said: > Hi there -- > > I was going to experiment with a CentOS x86_64 install in the following > manner: > One of our new dual-xeon servers is using an Adaptec SATA controller card > that > has drivers available for Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 and Enterprise Linux > 3.0. > I was going to create the drivers for one or the other and then attempt an > install via the linux dd command.

Usually, the kernel version for the driver needs to match the kernel it is built for. So, you would use CentOS-3 or CentOS-2.1 and get the ISO that you need, based on the driver. We did not release a CentOS-3.0 ... so there is not a CD for that.

CentOS and Red Hat SATA drivers
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Hi there -- I was going to experiment with a CentOS x86_64 install in the following manner: One of our new dual-xeon servers is using an Adaptec SATA controller card that has drivers available for Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 and Enterprise Linux 3.0. I was going to create the drivers for one or the other and then attempt an install via the linux dd command. My question is, would either of these drivers work with a version of CentOS, and if so what version could I use? Thanks.

SATA controller compatibility
by Michael Thon 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Greetings - I'm looking to put some cheap storage into my server, which is running centos 3. I'm looking at the Maxtor SATA/150 PCI Card and a big maxtor sata drive. I would like to make sure that CentOS has driver for this controller. I looked in Red Hat's hardware database and did some google'ing but I couldn't find any info to confirm that this card is compatible. Any ideas where else to look? Thanks Mike

Extending LVM2 logical volumes [ was: Demonizing ... ]

My CentOS4 box here has ext2online included; I have not had a chance to try it out, so I can't comment on how well it works. However, what I have read is that the LVM2 metadata format is more robust and removes many of the limitations of LVM1. In trying to check on this, I looked for specific information on how this was the case, but have not been able to at this point. The ext2/3 filesystem wasn't designed for resizing online, so it's quite nice one can do it at all; but it appears the LVM2 approach is to rely on the e2fsprogs to do the work, so, taking you question literally, no, there is no LVM2 tool to resize; you would do a two-step, resizing the logical volume then resizing the filesystem with e2fsprogs. But, having never had opportunity to do this, I have no direct experience with it. --- So, has anyone found an equivalent (even multiple commands that I could put in a script) for the e2fsadm utility to extend a logical volume? Anyone who has experience with ext2online? -- Collins Head teachers of the world unite: you have nothing to lose but the Start button.

Fighting some install issues with a new box
by Sean O'Connell 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Folks- I have had a machine dropped in my lap that I am trying to get CentOS 4.1 to run on as a first pass (the hope is for it to eventually run Rocks -- http://www.rocksclusters.org , which uses CentOS 4.x as its underlying OS). The machine has 2 Opteron 250DP (2.4GHz) with 4 GB of RAM. It is using a Tyan Thunder K8WE (S2895A2NRF) motherboard with an nVidia nForce chipset -- http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8we.html. It is configured to boot from an SATA drive (80GB) and then use 3Ware 8506-8 card with 8x250GB SATA drives in a big raid 5 as a data store. So, CentOS appears to recognize the nics and find the boot drive well enough to go through a complete install. Now this is where things get "interesting" .. the install process hung for a very long period of time during the "installing grub" phase (this was a cd install, so no post or anything, done off-line). It finally rebooted, but it just hangs at the "GRUB Loading stage2..." If I boot the machine using the 4.1 install cd in rescue mode, I can see the filesystem (the OS is installed). /etc/grub.conf doesn't look unreasonable. One oddball thing is that I cannot see the 3ware card at all (doesn't show up in lspci output). Any thoughts? Anyone set up a similar beastie? Thanks. Sean

Software to monitor security logs and email ISPs?
by Preston Crawford 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

I know they have software that does this. I'm just not sure which one it is. Basically here's the scoop. I'm on a cable modem connection with Comcast. I have a firewall router and I run a firewall on CentOS as well. All the same, other computers (probably zombies or hackers) are attempting brute force attacks on a couple of ports on my computer. I've just sat and watched them for some time. Not thinking that much of it. But I'd like to actually do something about it and inform the ISPs of said computers that that computer is compromised or being used by a hacker. I know there is software out there that will monitor your logs, reverse trace the IP address, and contact the ISP saying that at X time on X day X IP address tried to brute force hack my machine. I guess it's one of those things where I'm sick of seeing it come up in my security log, so I'd like to start sending email to the ISPs to tell them to do their job and enforce their rules for all the Windoze users out there. But I don't want to take the time to do it manually. Any suggestions? Preston

Not booting without keyboad.
by Ugo Bellavance 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, I'm running CentOS 3 on a Dell celeron 500/256 MB. It won't boot without a keyboard and that is a problem for me. I know it is not a perfect setup, but I'd like to have it boot w/o a keyboard. The Bios doesn't seem to care too much about the fact that no keyboard is plugged in, as it loads Grub and starts booting the kernel. It hangs, usually around Total HugeTLB memory allocated, 0 Any ideas? Thanks, -- Ugo -> Please don't send a copy of your reply by e-mail.

Install Problems Centos 4.1
by Peter Farrow 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Dear All, I have a K8S-MX Asus Athlon 64 Motherboard with a 754 pin 3000+ CPU, which I cam trying to install 4.1 Centos 64 bit. The problem seems to arise when installing onto Mirrored disks, I have noticed that from Centos 4 onwards it tries to rebuild the arrays as it installs which slows the whole process right down across all platforms I have tried it on. In addition, the install process bails out at random times with random errors eg. "Disk Full", "error loading this package or that package", Error reading DVD etc... now I have burnt several copies of the DVD, tested them fully, tried installing from CD, even changed the hardware to a twin Opteron system, changed the RAM changed this disks and tried everything but it still seems really touch and go as to wether the install will complete. I haven't managed it yet on the Asus platform it took about 12 goes on the opteron platform. Yet Centos 3.4 installs no problem. Finally the last straw was the boot loader problem with occurs either immediately after reboot after install or on one of the boots soon after, and I have to do this to fix it: -------------------------------------- grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd grub> setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf"... succeeded Done. grub> root (hd1,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd grub> setup (hd1) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1)"... 16 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) (hd1)1+16 p (hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/grub.conf"... succeeded Done. grub> quit ------------------ Has anyone else seen these tedious unpredicatble errors on install that seems to have arrived with version 4 onwards...?

RAID 5 vs. RAID 10
by Andrew Vong 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, I am looking into purchasing a new server. This server will be mission-critical. I have read and somewhat understood the theories behind RAIDs 0, 1, 5, 10 & JBOD. However, I would like to get some feedback from those who have experience in implementing and recovering from a HDD failure using RAID. Hardware specs include:- Dual Xeon 3.2 GHz 2 GB RAM I would like to implement hardware RAID but am unsure as to which would be most suitable for my needs. Any advice is appreciated. Option 1 - RAID 5 (3 hdd's) + 1 hot spare Option 2 - RAID 10 (4 hdd's) + 1 "cold" spare (in the shelf) Questions I have :- 1) When should RAID 5 be implemented? 2) When should RAID 10 be implemented? 3) Is RAID 5 with a hot spare safer than RAID 10 with a "cold" spare? 4) Is it possible to configure RAID 10 to have a hot spare? 5) Should one of the HDDs fail, a hot spare w kick-in immediately and begin rebuilding. As I am planning to put in 300 GB HDDs, how long would this take on a RAID 5 vs. RAID 10? 6) Will there be a degradation in performance for users on the system (RAID 5 vs. RAID 10)? 7) What are the disadvantages of using RAID 5 vs. RAID 10? Thanks in advance for answering my questions. Best Regards, Andrew

I'm hitting a snag with htaccess. Have created .htaccess and .htpasswd files, set up apache directory options just like always... the exact same setup works fine on CentOS 3, but I can't seem to get it to authenticate on CentOS 4? Am I just being blind stupid (as in not seeing something 'exactly the same') or is there something different I'm missing? I have selinux running in warn mode I think it was, but not fully enabled.

Open Office 1.9.x
by Mark Jarvis 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

Having used Open Office 1.9.x on the XP side of my box, I decided to install it on the CentOS side. (The default OO was 1.1.2, for heaven's sake!) I downloaded the Linux 386 version from the OO site. I immediately ran into problems-- 1) The installation instructions were for OO 1.x. 2) The download appears to be source RPMs. Although I've used UNIX & Linux for over 15 years, there are still some empty spots in my toolbox--and dealing with RPMs in one of them. (YUM is SO much nicer!) Has anyone added OO1.9.113 to CentOS? Where can I find info on what I need to do to get OO1.9.x added to my CentOS installation? Any help will be much appreciated! -mj-

Centos 4.1, ClamScan and Kernel Leaks
by Bill Diamond 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

I recently installed ClamAV on my Centos 4.1 system (AMD Athlon 64 3500 +, 1GB RAM). I'm using postfix, with fetchmail to retrieve email from remote ISP accounts and processing emai through a spamfilter plugin, which is a shell script that passes inbounds through clamscan and spamassassin before handing it off to a local procmail for processing and delivery. Pror to installing ClamAV, the system stayed up for months at a time. Since then, I'm seeing a lot of system freezes and crashes, at least once per day. I'm also seeing a fair number of complaints in the boot log about ACPI errors and the like. I'm on kernel 2.6.9-11.EL. In the messages log, I can see where just prior to the system freeze, there are a sequence of messages regarding the system's inability to reset the USB adapter, of which no devices are attached. Almost immediately after, I see errors with the system gets error messages on read capacity on the hard drives. After this appears to reset itself, I start seeing kernel messages about available memory dropping from 1GB to less than 1MB. Any suggestions/advice? Thanks, Bill -- Bill Diamond <bill(a)billdiamond.com>

How to manually mount LVM partition
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hello list, For some strange reason, the hard drive on one of our servers crashed. The hard drive was using LVM and it was sending these messages during boot-up: EXT3-fs error (device dm-0): ext3_find_entry: reading directory ... EXT3-fs error (device dm-0): ext3_set_inode_loc: unable to read inode block= ... I want to be able to at least access the logical volumes inside that hard drive. How then do I manually mount the LVM partition when it is connected as slave in another computer? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Stand before it and there is no beginning.

Palm Pilot, USB, pppd and udev
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

I've a line like this that creates /dev/pilot link in my local udev rules: BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*[13579]", SYMLINK="pilot" And it seems to work fine for doing normal sync operation to Gnome Palm applet (well, not sure about that KERNEL parameter, however ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 look exactly the same, no other way to specify "use second device" as far as I can see). But, if I use the USB connection to connect to the network (using my Linux box as gateway by running "pppd auth -chap +pap login local ms-dns 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.1:10.0.0.2 pilot" and doing SNAT) I've noticed that sometimes when I disconnect, the ttyUSB* devices are not removed by udev. When devices are removed, I'm getting something like this in my log files: kernel: visor ttyUSB0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 kernel: visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1 However, when devices are not removed, I'm getting a bit different message: kernel: usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 4 kernel: visor 2-1:1.0: device disconnected I've just started playing with my Palm under Linux, and so far I've only noticed this when using PPP over USB. So far when doing plain-old synchronzation (to gnome Palm applet) it seems that devices are always created and removed as expected. Has anybody else noticed this and/or has advice what to do?

'old' rpms in CentOS 3.5

Migrating from RHEL 4 to CentOS
by techlist＠pathfinder.phys.utk.edu 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Hello, I'm thinking about migrating from RHEL 4 to CentOS. Is there a document that provide pointer / guidance for doing that ? or is this document: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19 relevant enough to follow in my situation ? I understand that I should probably strip the install of any RedHat images, trademark, etc, as to not infringing any copyright. So I am wondering if there's a list of things to do / document to show that. My current installation is: $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 1) Thanks for any help / pointer. RDB

> I'm haveing problem with FreeRADIUS v1.0.1-3 which came with > CentOS 4.1 > FreeRADIUS refuses to use system accounts for authentication. Hi Joseph, FreeRadius 1.0.1-3 works fine on my systems using local system authentication (using UNIX instead of PAM). In my users configuration file, I have the following defined: "DEFAULT Auth-Type = System". Please also note, however, that your daemon will require READ access to your /etc/shadow file and you probably have it running with little to no permissions. You should create a new group (ex: shadow) and assign it to your /etc/shadow with read access and add your FreeRadius user into the group. That should correct your authentication issues. I vaguely recall having problems when I first tried to have it use PAM authentication (based on the RHEL3 version), but I haven't looked at the issue since then. Regards, -Joshua

Quality over horsepower as well, has been my philosophy. Actually, it's not about waste IMHO. It's about believing a newer processor design means the interconnect is better. A dual-P3 on a ServerSet IIIHE-SL will slap a P4-Celeron silly when it comes to server I/O. Especially when you throw a GbE on one PCI channel, and your SATA RAID on another. > I would advise going to the DL380 series. These use only the ultra2 > or 3 scsi drives.. not the mix of ultra and wide-ultra. Actually, it wasn't until recently that most 36, 73, 146GB SCSI drives started breaking 40MBps sustained. Ultra2/3 (aka Ultra80/160) offer LVD (low-voltate differential) for longer bus length and integrity. But yes, at today's disk speeds, Ultra2(80) is minimum. And you typically don't want more than 2-3 drives per channel. Although Ultra640 is planned, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is going to quickly kill it. A parallel storage bus is yesteryear. Until then, a SATA controller with queuing and "enterprise" SATA drives is the best of all worlds. The great thing is that SAS can use SATA drives too (so you can recycle your "enterprise" SATA drive investments). > I very nice speed improvement. Also, when buying, watch for drives > quanity, size and speed (try to avoid the 7200rpm and get the 10 or > 15k units). Because in many cases, many current 7200rpm drives come off the same line as ATA and SATA drives too. Interface is not an indicator of reliability, the actual mechanics are. A good indicator is the vibration and other tolerances in the spec sheet. "Enterprise" drives (typically the 9, 18, 36, 73 and 146GB capacities) vibrate 3-8x less than "Commodity" drives (typically the 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 250, 300, 320 and 400GB capacities). E.g., WD Raptor 73 and 146GB 10,000rpm SATA drives come off the same line as Hitachi 10,000 U320 SCSI drives. > I think that was the ending point for the 1850s.

I'm really hesitant to pay that much for a crippled Celeron with an old i960 microcontroller for an SATA controller. I'd much rather go with Monarch Computer and get something better for the same price, especially in an Opteron 1xx that will eat the Celeron alive (along with the greater choice in controllers). Which brings us back to the "old" P3 DL3xx series. I'd prefer to go that direction, with an added 64-bit @ 66MHz PCI SATA controller, than pay for a P4-core Celeron. -- Bryan J.

Granted, if you're going to do RAID-5, then it'll get you far better performance than a 3Ware 8506 series at writes. The 3Ware (let alone even software RAID-5) will kill it at reads, but when it comes to writes, 3Ware 8506s won't break 30MBps (and software RAID-5 will typically either do worse, or slam your CPU-memory-I/O interconnect so hard it'll be busy with nothing else).

Depends, I'll have to investigate the width of the interconnect of a ProLiant 1850 v. ProLiant DL380. This is typically dependent on the chipset. Anything i440 will _suck_. Ideally you want a ServerWorks IIIHE, although a IIILE is at least better than an i440 (but an IIIHE has far better FSB/memory width). > I couldn't find used 1850R's on eBay with more than 600Mhz. That matters little. What matters is the chipset and interconnect. Hmmm ... according to this page (2nd hand, not always ideal): http://www.bnv-bamberg.de/home/ba3294/smp/rbuild/ The ProLiant 1850 is a i440GX (_avoid_, along with i440BX). You're going to be stuck in I/O hell. The ProLiant DL380 is a ServerSet IIILE, not ideal, but better. You at least get 4-8x the I/O of a i440BX/GX. Getting _exact_ model numbers helps. I've seen a few ProLiants mentioned with ServerSet IIIHE chipsets. But I assume those aren't quickly sold. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

So _yes_, you _can_ bypass the need for a native Windows ADS DC on your network! But _no_, Samba 3.0 does not provide functionality for sync'ing Samba DC to MS ADS DC. It's an "all Samba" or "all MS DC" choice. > How do you get centralized user account management without > MS Kerberos? Again, MS Kerberos are just extensions to Kerberos, ones supported in new, open source Kerberos 5 servers. If they hadn't, then Samba 3.0 would not be able to act as either a member server in a MS ADS network, or emultate a MS Kerberos KDC without one. This has *0* to do with Samba. There are thousands upon thousands of enterprises running with Novell eDirectory, NsDS, Sun One, etc.. using their own management suite for Windows clients. In many cases, a few are vastly more experienced, featured and superior IMHO. I think what you're looking for is an experience where all the interfaces and schema are emulated to you can run any Microsoft management tools, tools written explicitly for undocumented MS schema and interfaces. You're looking at the problem from an impossible solution standpoint. That's the problem.

There is just this farce out there that you must have ADS or every native Windows Server 2003 interface to have quality Windows client management. Various teams, including Samba, have done a wonderful job of reverse engineering many. But the reality is that if you can avoid deploying services that require MS' sprawling (and sometimes self-incomaptible) schema, then you don't need native MS ADS DCs. Enterprises do it all-the-time. > People always need some room in arguments, > unless you want to corner them. > And I'm sure that's not your intent anyway. I _did_ ask the questions, what is ... - ADS? - MS (schema) LDAP? It goes to the heart of the viewpoints and dicussion. Especially for components that are not Samba, but most people only look at for _limited_ Samba use. E.g., MS Kerberos _only_ for authentication of Samba as a member server in a MS ADS DC controller domain (NOT ;-). UNIX/Linux Kerberos servers can do _far_more_ than that, even for 200x/XP clients. Sometimes I think the best marketing done for Windows and Microsoft products is by UNIX/Linux people because they don't even know what services and capabilities are actually offered by UNIX/Linux platforms - be it open source, commercial, etc... ;->

See "Samba Unleashed," Appendix A (Solaris). ;-> [ NOTE: The book is 5 years old now, Samba 2.0 was latest. ] I wanted to put in more, but the main author (and my largest professional critic) wanted me to keep the NIS/NFS compatibility down because the rest of the book didn't address it. > Some maintain web content, some are customer support that need > write access to the ftp server and another set does some > development and testing on a different box.

Dude ... 1) I specifically asked you if you had an true MS ADS DC. 2) I mentioned MS Services for UNIX (SFU) Dude, if you had a true MS ADS DC and were already authenticating Samba against it, you _should_also_ use SFU to share out NIS from the same. Now you just control your netgroups at your MS ADS DC. Furthermore, you can even setup true UNIX/Linux NIS "slave" servers to SFU, just like you can setup UNIX/Linux BIND "secondary" DNS servers to MS ADS-integrated DNS. That way if your MS ADS DC tanks, you're not down, because you still have UNIX/Linux DNS/NIS. > Can NIS/netgroups mesh with samba authentication against a > windows domain or would I have to use LDAP for better > integration? Think of NIS as "flat file" like old CIFS (except without the broadcast non-sense). Whereas CIFS moved the Reigstry-SAM password DB network-wide, used NT LAN Manager authentication and introduced WINS as a name resolution service, NIS basically does the same for _any_ UNIX files. You don't even need DNS. You can even use pGINA to replace your NT/200x/XP login to authenticate against other servers. I used to do similar with NISGINA back in the '90s (before MS ADS was even an option for Windows networks). GINA is NT's graphical login/authentication system when you logon. Now that MS has gotten serious, you can just use SFU on your MS ADS DC _directly_! Now you're hosting maps, and ensuring ADS objects _match_ those of NIS maps. Alternatively, if you're worried about security, you can use Kerberos for your password store (instead of NIS hashes in passwd). Now that gets a little more client-specific, but you _can_ use MS ADS' Kerberos to provide a "one-way trust" down to a Keberos realm. > Actually, I guess the next integration will be with Active Directory. Wait! Are you CIFS PDC/BDCs or ADS DCs? If you are the former, you _can_ switch _away_ from CIFS altogether! Not only does Samba 2.2+ provide _full_ CIFS replacement, but you can setup Samba 3.0+ as a BDC, mirror the existing, native CIFS PDC, and then _easily_ promote it to a PDC! Once your PDC is Samba, then it's cake to do NIS. If you already made your Network ADS' bitch, then just get MS SFU. Trust me on this, it makes life 100x easier! I wouldn't be surprised if management thinks UNIX/Linux "sucks" because the UNIX/Linux network is setup like crap, and not because it's not capable. > This company has been acquired and the corporate parent is in the > process of converting their domains now and will be including the > users at this location. Just FYI ... Once you ADS, you're _always_ going to be Microsoft-controlled. Samba will _never_ reverse engineer all of Microsoft's LDAP schema. I know MS ADS is required for a lot of new services. In such case, consider segmenting, maintaining and sychronizing the MS ADS to Red Hat Directory Server (fka Netscape Directory Server, NsDS). Florida Institute of Technology's (FIT's) "acctsync" is a ADS DC-side service designed to retrieves any changes or sends any updates (like password) back to their "master" NsDS tree (acctsync also now supports OpenLDAP, although limitedly). FIT did this because back in 1999, when Windows 2000 starting infiltrating their network, they did _not_ want to put UNIX/Linux reliability at the mercy of MS ADS. They were already running a full LDAP tree with NsDS, and even if they were still using legacy NIS, SFU 1.0 didn't offer a good NIS/NFS service yet (that wasn't really until 3.0 -- current version is 3.5 and _free_). You better decide soon whether or not you're going to put your entire network at the mercy of MS ADS, or if you want to maintain some anonymous control. You really need an independent architect to come in and make your life easier. Because it seems your department isn't aware of all your interoperability options. I'm sure your management must think that Windows is 100x easier to support than UNIX/Linux because of your current setup. I mean, NIS is circa 1982 (yes, _82_) UNIX design, and it would solve your problem quite nicely. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

From: Feizhou > I know what a Kerberos authentication system is. > You mean a core component in Samba 3.0's functionality as an ADS client. You're still artificially limiting your understanding. Kerberos (with the MS extensions in the case of 200x/XP) is how objects authenticate each other and grant tickets for access in a Kerberos realm. Samba can use Kerberos how it sees fit. As a client/member server (with MS Extensions) to native MS ADS DCs, or to 200x/XP clients in the absence of native MS ADS DCs. The issue is when you have native MS ADS DCs, because Samba doea not understand MS ADS DC-to-DC replication. Otherwise, the authentication process to clients is no different. But that's only authentication. Again, stop thining "aggregate," think naming, directory, authentication and file services individually.

But their extensions to Kerberos, that was questionable. But _yes_, it has been documented, per their terms with MIT - even if delayed 2 years. Kerberos implementations for UNIX/Linux, which Samba uses, _does_fully_ support the extensions. This has *0* to do with Samba, although Samba 3.0 can integrate with late BIND8.2 and BIND9 w/SRV, as well as KDCs that also do the MS Kerberos extensions.

You do _not_ need to run a single native MS ADS server on your network to: - Authenticate Windows clients via MS Kerberos (let alone with pGINA to standard Kerberos 5) - Serve out SAM and other MS schema from its LDAP, the ones that have been documented - Handle SMB signing and other protocol features (even ones that are mega-buggy in MS' own implementations) At this point, Samba 3.0 is a _better_ SMB service for Windows 2000 than Windows Server 2003. Microsoft has attested that it recommends only Windows XP Pro clients for full ADS 2003 support. Ziff-Davis testing has shown this to be true. Samba automagically optimizes for the client that is connecting, with Microsoft giving up on performance/features on anything pre-NT5.1 (XP/2003).

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to centos and having trouble upgrading java's jdk1.4 to jdk1.5. I assume I have to get the jdk from jpackage, but I'm having trouble locating it, let alone finding any instructions on how to upgrade. Much appreciated if anyone can help. Thanks!

pwc kernel module...
by Gilles CHAUVIN 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

Hi, I'm just curious about whether some people here were able to make their webcam work under CentOS 4 using the pwc module (with the stock kernel) ? Mine is a PCVC730K (ToUcam Fun) that I would like to connect to my private webserver but, as soon as I connect it, the system freeze (at least not the whole system but the current console, that's weird). Is there something particular to do to make it work or is it just impossible ? Thanks. Gilles.

Re: Fix passwd/shadow/group files? -- Samba is not an enterprise directory solution ...

Because it seems your department isn't aware of all your > interoperability options. I want to point out one thing. Understand Samba is a collection of services designed of and for CIFS/SMB. It is _not_ a complete "enterprise directory solution." Samba includes: - A Legacy Registry-SAM compatible password store - A Legacy NetBIOS-WINS naming service and protocol - A Legacy NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication protocol And then "wraps into" traditional UNIX services like UNIX resolver (DNS, NIS, NSSwitch, etc...), UNIX authentication (files, NIS, PAM, LDAP, etc...), etc... Newer versions of Samba 2.2 include: - MS ADS subset schema for LDAP (OpenLDAP often used) And Samba 3.0 also introduces: - SASL authentication with Kerberos stores (either MS ADS Kerberos or a MS'ized UNIX Kerberos client/KDC services). Samba strives to be a "drop in replacement" for a native Windows DC and file server, including naming (browser) and authentication. But you do _not_ have to use Windows-centric naming or authentication. You can build a network where you either are UNIX/Linux NsDS/OpenLDAP "tree'd" with or without Kerberos, possibly authenticating against native MS ADS DCs or even Samba emulating ADS DCs, or maybe using pGINA on the clients, or you can even have a completely segmented NsDS/OpenLDAP tree/network from native MS ADS network, and use some synchronization between the two. Samba itself is definitely _not_ a UNIX client designed service. And even if you have native MS ADS deployed, you should be running services on the DCs to present UNIX-like interfaces for authentication, naming, etc... on the server, not trying adhoc, manual, kludge in things. And if you're old MS CIFS/PDC, get off of it. Get your network to NsDS (now Red Hat Directory Server) before it's too late -- even if just for your UNIX portion. Or at least introduce 23+ year-old NIS for things. Golden Rule: The _client_ is always right. Always present the _native_ interfaces of the client OS from a server when it comes to: 1) naming 2) directory/store 3) authentication 4) file services Whether you are a true UNIX, e.g., DNS/NIS, NIS, hash, NFS (NIS) DNS/NIS, NIS, Kerberos, NFS (NIS-Kerberos) NIS+, NIS+, RSA, NFS (NIS+) DNS, LDAP, RSA, NFS (Sun One) DNS, LDAP, hash, NFS (LDAP) DNS, LDAP, SASL/Kerberos, NFS (LDAP-SASL/Kerberos) Or maybe a Windows, e.g., NetBIOS/WINS, SAM, NTLM, SMB (CIFS) DNS, MS LDAP, MS Kerberos, SMB (ADS) Or maybe even a Novell, e.g., SAP, Bindery, hash/RSA, NCP (Bindery) NLSP, X.500/DAP, RSA, NCP (NDS aka eDirectory) You should interface with your clients with what _they_ expect, not what your "back-end" is by default. -- Bryan J.

CentOS 4 post installation of all packages
by dan1 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hello. I have installed CentOS 4 on a server in a hosting company and I realise that not all packages have been installed. I would like to install all packages exactly like it is when we click on 'install everything' from the CentOS 4 installation. Is there a way of doing so with 'yum install' something ? My goal is to have the exact replicate as the default CentOS 4 'install everything' option. I am in fear that there would be other packages installed than only the ones from the default CentOS install by typing 'yum install *' if this is possible. Thanks, Daniel

They'll take 3Ware cards in the expansion slots, but they typically have SCSI SCA bays, not SATA bays. Check with HP and see if you can get DL3xx series SATA bays (I assume these are DL3xx series)? If you're worried about reliability, buy 10,000rpm SATA drives that typically roll off the same line as their SCSI/FC counterparts.

Yes, using NIS Netgroups and PAM authentication around them is much, much better on Linux (and even Solaris) than using multiple NIS domains.

Impossible. I think he didn't know what he was talking about. He might have mistakenly been looking for... 1. Find the tarball on the system 2.

There are "packages"** distros like Debian, Fedora, etc... based. And then there are "tarball" distros with some meta-data** in the tarballs, such as Slackware. [ SIDE NOTE: Both DPKG and RPM are System V cpio archives, pretty much the same USTAR format as tar itself, but use 5KiB blocking instead of 10KiB blocking by default. ] Newer to Linux (but no stranger to BSD) are "ports" distros, such as Gentoo. It uses a centralized build system whereby instead of a "package manager" that creates the SPEC (RPM) file, config/Makefile and other commands and bundles it into a single file, the "ports" repository (e.g., Gentoo's portage) just gives you basic Makefiles and other meta-data, and you actually fetch the software. > I know "rpm -qf filename" gives the package owning the file. > But how to get the package name when I don't have any > package manager?

Upgrading from RH AS-3 to ??
by Penelope Fudd 14 Jul '05

Hi! I'm trying to upgrade my Redhat 3AS server, but I'm encountering problems. The first problem was, I didn't know what repository to use. I settled on http://mirror.centos.org/, but using it is strange, as not all mirror servers have all of the directories, and so sometimes links appear broken, but the problem goes away if I hit reload. A number of them have empty directories, like this one: http://mirrors.versaweb.net/centos/3.5/extras/i386/RPMS/ The second problem was, I didn't know what CentOS version to use. I'm guessing 3.5 is the right one for compatibility with RH 3AS. The third problem is, yum reports: # yum install centos-logos Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.5/extras/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror.

htaccess authentication asks for MySQL table test.user_info
by dan1 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Hello. For users interested in the MySQL authentication problem for SSL pages, there is another way to prevent mod_auth_mysql to do this mySQL authentication. This has been reported by Brent: In the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, add the directive: <Directory xxxxxx/ AuthMySQLEnable off AllowOverride All </Directory> You can also add it to your .htaccess file. Thanks Brent ! Daniel ----- Original Message ----- From: dan1 To: centos at centos.org Subject: [CentOS] htaccess authentication asks for MySQL table test.user_info Hello again. I just found out a work-around to this problem. We have to remove the mod_auth_mysql module with 'rpm -e mod_auth_mysql' and then it works again. However, I think that the choice of going through file or database should not be done by installing or uninstalling an rpm, but merely by choosing that option from a tag in a file, and turning this on or off. Maybe I'm wrong, but that would be much better to my point of view. Also, it's strange to suddenly change the default behaviour of Apache and I'm quite surprised that so few of you seem to have had this problem. Here is another thread about it: http://www.redhatforums.org/ftopic4079.html Maybe should be add this in the bug list, or is it a RedHat issue ?

Yum package requiring yumconf
by Dag Wieers 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Hi, I need yum-arch on RHEL4, yum does not come with RHEL4 so I took the CentOS package, but this one requires a yumconf package (satisfied by centos-yumconf) which I thought was pretty strange. Why does one require a yumconf package uberhaupt ? Why are we limiting a generally useful package to CentOS (or a system that provides yumconf) ? I know you can fix it in several ways, but I'm more concerned about having the dependency there in the first place. I always considered dependencies much like strictly necessary to use this package, and in this case it does not seem to be very mandatory. (config files you can add yourself easily one way or the other if you require them) My vote would go for removing the dependency. (now that I have installed centos-yumconf on RHEL4 and disabled all the functionality) -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

Problem unmounting loop device
by Matt Lawrence 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

I'm attempting to build a virtual disk image for qemu of CentOS4 on CentOS4. I'm having a problem after using yum --installroot to put a minimal filesystem on a partition located within the virtual disk. When I go to unmount it, I get "device is busy" errors. I know that I haven't left anything using that filesystem and lsof doesn't show anything, so I'm wondering if there is some sort of odd problem with the loop device. So far, I haven't been able to find anything applicable using google. Any ideas? -- Matt

Cetos 4 with Secure Linux - Apache perl problems...

I'm trying to get perl working correctly on a new server and have a tough time. The server works fine for all standard web pages and hosts about 10 domains. Here's is my test.cgi CGI script I'm trying to run: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "Hello!"; When I attempt to access the file via a web browers, I get this: [Tue Jul 12 16:46:11 2005] [error] [client 209.74.180.78] (13)Permission denied: exec of '/var/www/cgi-bin/test.cgi' failed [Tue Jul 12 16:46:11 2005] [error] [client 209.74.180.78] Premature end of script headers: test.cgi However, if I run it locally, I get the "Hello" output. I gave the file 777 and 755 rights (neither worked) and even gave apache ownership (apache:apache owns the file). Still get the Error 500 web page and the above errors. So I went further and dug more. In the httpd.conf, I established this: AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl ; set this: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/" ; <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Still no luck....

Sarah: RHSA tracking tool
by Dag Wieers 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

Hi, I'm working on a RHSA tracking tool, named Sarah. It allows you to build a local RHSA database of different RHEL releases and then allows you to verify systems for compliance (and lists applicable RHSA and required packages). But before releasing my prototype, I would like to know what requirements people have. How they would be using such a tool and what for reports they need to extract. My main reason for writing such a tool is to automate reports to send out to customers for getting approval for updates during planned maintenance. My aim is to list the risk and information based on information provided by Red Hat. Another use case would be to send out emails either when new RHSAs are released or updates are made to existing RHSAs or sending out daily or weekly mails for systems that are lacking certain security updates. I bet other people have other requirements, so I like to hear about those. PS You may wonder what it offers on top on RHN. In fact it doesn't offer much more than RHN already provides. But in our environment, we don't have RHN access for our systems (some of them are not even connected to the Internet) and security policy does not allow this anyway. Plus a CLI tool that is able to access and process this information allows for some specialized use that RHN may not provide. Bright ideas are welcomed.

11 Jul '05

From: Peter Farrow <peter(a)farrows.org> > looks like the 4500 came second to me by a fair margin, > between 3x and 5x faster best case, "Best case" would be something that scales linearlly over many processors with minimal (<0.1GBps) inter-CPU interconnect, which is exactly what a cluster (using GbE) is. In other cases, the old UltraSPARC II was able to keep within ~60% or so, and that's not even looking at the fact that it only had 2GB -- which _each_ dual-P4 node had as well. > not what Iwould call limping away. > Anyway that's enough of this thread, kill it now..... Here's my final statement. I have never debated that the P4 isn't more capable than old UltraSPARC II processors when something clearly relies on ALU/FPU. Heck, I _still_ deploy refurb/unused dual-P3 850MHz-1.4GHz systems because of this (especially when interconnect is not the bottleneck). But there _are_ cases where a more capable interconnect is what is needed. In those cases, even some older, cheap UltraSPARC II NUMA/UPA platforms are very useful. E.g., we're currently using a 8-way UltraSPARC II as our near-line/ off-line disk/tape backup server, and it's using multiple out-of-band and storage interconnects. Now yes, a 4-way HP DL585 would have been much nicer, and even far more interconnect. But it's clearly better than a 2-way P4 for what we're using it for. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

They are _not_ commodity and pricey, and require OS-level support. In fact, I believe Linux 2.6 has some support for hot-swap -- at least at the PCI[-X] level, if not memory and possibly CPU as well.

raid5 crash
by Farkas Levente 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

hi, after we switch our servers from centos-3 to centos-4 (aka. rhel-4) one of our server always crash once a week without any oops. this happneds with both the normal kernel-2.6.9-11.EL and kernel-2.6.9-11.106.unsupported. after we change the motherboard, the raid contorller and the cables too we still got it. finally we start netdump and last but not least yesterday we got a crash log and a core file. it seems there is a bug in the raid5 code of the kernel. this is our backup server with 8 x 200GB hdd in a raid5 (for the data) plus 2 x 40GB hdd in raid1 (for the system) with 3ware 8xxx raid contorller, running. i attached the netdump log of the last crash. how can i fix it? yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Problem opening CD/DVD Drive door
by Dick Roth 10 Jul '05

10 Jul '05

Since moving from FC2 to CentOS 4.x I've been having a strange problem opening the CD/DVD drive door after burning backups. A cron job tars and gzips directories I want to back up and stores the .tar.gz file in my /misc directory. I then burn the file onto a blank CD. All goes well with the burn...the drive door opens upon completion. The problem occurs when I re-insert the CD to test the backup using File Roller. After reading the directories for verification, I find that I can not eject the disc unless I log out. This, obviously is a pain in the neck since I then have to restart several apps I normally have open. Has anyone run into this before? Any suggestions? Thanks, Dick -- Pithy saying goes here: (future).

Re: Hot swap CPU -- shared memory (1 NUMA/UPA) v. clustered (4 MCH)
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 09 Jul '05

09 Jul '05

From: Bruno Delbono <bruno.s.delbono(a)mail.ac> > I'm really sorry to start this thread again but I found something very > interesting I thought everyone should ^at least^ have a look at: > http://uadmin.blogspot.com/2005/06/4-dual-xeon-vs-e4500.html > This article takes into account a comparision of 4 dual xeon vs. e4500. > The author (not me!) talks about "A Shootout Between Sun E4500 and a > Linux Redhat3.0 AS Cluster Using Oracle10g [the cluster walks away limping]" People can play with the numbers all they want. Shared memory systems (especially NUMA) with their multi-GBps, native interconnects are typically going to be faster at anything that is GbE or FC interconnected. At the same time, lower-cost, clustered systems are competitive *IF* the application scales _linearally_. In this test scenario, the operations were geared towards operations that scale _linearally_. But even then, I think this blogger pointed out some very good data. The reality of the age of the systems in comparison, as well as the "less than commodity" cluster configuration of the PC Servers. It too is also a "power hungry" setup, and very costly. The reality is that a dual-2.8GHz Xeon MCH system does _not_ have the same interconnect capable of an even _yesteryear_ UltraSPARC II hardware that actually had a _drastically_lower_ cost overall. And even then, for its age, price, etc..., the "old" 4-way UltraSPARC II NUMA/UPA was quite "competitive" against a processor with 7x the CPU clock, but because the latter, "newer" P4 MCH platform has a _far_lower_ total aggregate throughput capable interconnect. Had the test included database benchmarks that were less linear and favored shared memory systems, then the results might have been very different. Frankly, if they wanted to make the "Linux v. Solaris" game stick, they should have taken a SunFire V40z and compared _directly_. Or at least pit a SunFire V40z running Linux against the same cluster, as the costs are very much near each other. So, in the end, I think this was a _poor_ test overall, because apples and oranges are being compared. The clustered setup has _better_ failover, the shared memory system has _better_ "raw interconnect." And it wasn't fair to use an aged Sun box, a newer, "cost equivalent" SPARC (III/IV?) should have been used -- especially given the costs. It's very likely that someone was just "re-using" the only Sun box they had, which is just a piss-poor show of journalism. The memory of the Sun should have also been boosted to the same, total amount to show off the power of a shared memory system with the appropriate benchmarks. I mean, the shared memory system has interconnect measured in the multi-GBps, while the cluster is well sub-0.1GBps for the GbE, and sub-0.5GBps for the FC-AL on even PCI-X 2.0. Furthermore, I would really like to see how the 4x P4 MCH platforms would perform versus more of a NetApp setup, beyond just the SunFire V40z (Opteron). Or, better yet, a new Opteron platform with HTX InfiniBand (Infiniband directly on the HT). That's _exactly_ what Sun is moving to, and something Intel doesn't have. Especially considering that InfiniBand on PCI-X 2.0 is only capable of maybe 0.8GBps in an "ideal" setup, and 1GbE can't get anywhere near that (let alone the layer-3/4 overhead!), while HTX InfiniBand has broken 1.8GBps! At 1.8GBps throughput InfiniBand, you're starting to blur the difference between Clustered and Shared Memory, especially with the HyperTransport protocol -- and especially versus traditional GbE. Intel can't even compete at 40% the power of Opteron HTX in a cluster configuration. **SIDE DISCUSSION: SATA and the evolution to SAS (bye SCSI!) As far as SATA v. SCSI, they were using 10K SATA disks that basically roll of the same lines as SCSI. Using the intelligent FC host fabric, the SATA's not only queue just as good as a SCSI array, the SATA throughput is _higher_ because of the reduced overhead in the protocol. There has been study after study after study that shows if [S]ATA is paired with an intelligent storage host, the host will queue and the drives will burst. The combination _roasts_ traditional SCSI -- hence why SCSI is quickly being replaced by Serial Attached Storage (SAS), a multi-target ATA-like interconnect, in new designs. Anyone who still thinks SCSI is "faster" versus [S]ATA is lost. Yes, [S]ATA doesn't have queuing, and putting NCQ (Native Command Queuing) on the Intelligent Drive Electronics (IDE) is still not the same as having an intelligent Host Adapter (HA) which SCSI always has. But when you use an intelligent Host Adapter (HA) for [S]ATA, such as the ASIC in 3Ware and other products, the game totally changes. That's when SCSI's command set actually becomes a latency liability versus ATA -- especially in an ASIC design like 3Ware's, and new Broadcom, Intel and other solutions, SCSI can _not_ compete. Hence, again, the evolution to SAS. Parallel is dead, because it's much better to have a number of point-to-point devices with direct pins to a PHY to a wide ASIC than a wide bus that is shared by all devices. And these 10K RPM SATA models are rolling of the _exact_same_ fab lines as their SCSI equivalents, with the same vibration specs and MTBF numbers. They are not "commodity" [S]ATA drives, of which many 7,200rpm SCSI drives are even now sharing (and share the same 0.4Mhr MTBF as commodity [S]ATA). -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

2.6.9-5.0.3 src rpm
by Jesse 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

I need to make a new driver disk, so I need to install the src.rpm for the initial centos4 install kernel, kernel-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL. However upon browsing around the mirrors, in the 4.0 directories, I find only 2.6.9-11.EL kernels and source? What's going on here -- am I looking in the wrong place? I would expect to see 2.6.9-11.EL in the 4.0/updates directories, not in the 4.0/os. I would expect 4.0/os to have the packages that correspond to the initial release. Since there are no src ISO (right?), I can't grab the kernel-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.src.rpm from there either. Where can I find it? Thanks, --- Jesse <j(a)lumiere.net>

Actually, if the driver will build against a binary kernel that is installed (which is typically the case with today's binary kernels that include the header and other config files in the run-time), all you need is the "-BOOT" kernel binary installed on your system. >From there, you should be able to build your driver against it. > However upon browsing around the mirrors, in the 4.0 directories, I find > only 2.6.9-11.EL kernels and source?

iPod on Centos 4
by Jesse 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

I'm having trouble getting my iPod working under Centos 4. I was hoping someone else using their iPod with Centos 4 could shed some light on this. When I attach my iPod via USB, I get these messages: 19:36:44 brahma kernel: usb 1-8: new high speed USB device using address 2 19:36:45 brahma kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... 19:36:45 brahma kernel: scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices 19:37:35 brahma kernel: usb 1-8: reset high speed USB device using address 2 19:37:51 brahma kernel: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery: host 2 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 I had no problems getting my iPod to work under Centos 3 (2.4.x kernel), once I had recompiled without the EFI partition option. In this case I don't think EFI is a factor though, as the device isn't even making it to the partition scanning stage. I tried using just the slower uhci_hcd but got the same results. Then I tried using the latest FC3 kernel (2.6.11-1.35_FC3), and surprise, the iPod mounts (with ehci) without any problems. Obviously I'd prefer to run the RHEL/Centos kernel though, even if it requires a small patch. At least then I know what's changed.

I just installed CentOS4 on my main server. It runs proftpd and is not NATted.. When I did the install I said to allow FTP and HTTP. I can ftp from windows dos ftp client. In IE I get "Unable to build data connection: No route to host" ncftp I get.. Data connection timed out. Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode. List failed. Wget and FireFox just time out.

Backup Server with rsync methods
by scott 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

Hi guys: I'm about to migrate a sever to a managed server facility. I've alwau=ys used tape to backup my server, now that's not an option. I've read abut using rsync to do backups and have several scripts to do same. I believe rsync is a good solution. I am missing some important nuiances though... I would like to have essentially a "mirror" server at my facility ( call it "master") that I can backup to, and from, completely from the other server (call it "hosted"). Obviously I have to have at least different IP addresses on "master" and "hosted", but other than that, I'd like them to be mirrors of each other. I would like to do all my configs, setup, etc. at my leisure on "master", where I have hands on control, then when ready, have "hosted" setup with a basic Centos server install, then configure it to rsync to my "master" and update the entire thing (updates and all) to my "master". 1. Which files tdo I need to exclude to avoid IP address and hostname changes? 2. What caveats do I need to be aware of? Are there other files such as 'live" libraries that I cannot sync to? 3. The "master" server at my facility and their server may have different hard drive architecture (i.e. IDS and SCSI drives, different processor, etc.). As long as I use a generic Kernel (i.e. stock) that supposts the hardware on both, this shoudl not be a problem, right? 4. Am I missing something, is there a better way? Thanks, Scott

Dual booting centos 4.1 and Solaris 10 express build 15
by mohamed yusuf 08 Jul '05

08 Jul '05

I have been trying to multiboot centos 4.1 and the current solaris express build 15. I have two hard drive s, the first one ( hd0 ) devoted to CentOS 4.1 and windows xp (no problems). The second drive (hd1) for Solaris 10 only. I tried to boot solaris from CentOS grub and got the following error messages: Booting Solaris 10 root(hd1,0) Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0Xbf kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot Error 17: can not mount selected partition press any key to continue.... I googled for error 17 and found out that "the partition exists but grub failed to recognize Solaris partition". That is odd because I had no problems triple booting windows,CentOs 4.1 and opensolaris build 16 and I don't get it, there is no partition difference between opensolaris 10 and solaris express. or is there ? Please somebody explain to me. Here is menu.lst for centos grub # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,5) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda7 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.9-11.106.unsupported) root (hd0,5) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.106.unsupported ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.106.unsupported.img title CentOS (2.6.9-11.EL) root (hd0,5) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.EL.img title Solaris 10 root (hd1,0) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive makeactive chainloader +1 title Windows xp rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Note: This is my first post and I have learned a lot from your forum since I moved from mandrake 3 months ago.

ftp daemon problem

New install of CentOS 4.1; our first try at the 4.x. On previous 3.x installs we've used proftpd.

But we don't get anywhere. <snip> ftp> passiv Passive mode off. ftp> put ~/xorg.conf.work local: /home/jlasman/xorg.conf.work remote: /home/jlasman/xorg.conf.work 200 PORT command successful.

Re: [CentOS] ftp daemon problem

On Thursday 07 July 2005 12:36 pm, someone wrote offlist: > how is the user logging in -- what username? and what are the > ownerships and permissions on /home/jlasman/ ? The user on my local desktop is jlasman. /home/jlasman is myself as a local user on my desktop system. Which is Mandriva 2005 LE. But I don't think that should matter. The remote server (running CentOS 4.1) user is test, set up as a standard user with adduser and passwd. But I did change the the default shell to "nologin". However nologin IS listed in /etc/shells, so my understanding is it should work. The file I tried to transfer is: -rw-rw-r-- 1 jlasman jlasman 2505 Jun 27 15:34 xorg.conf.work The permissions for /home/jlasman are: drwxr-xr-x 33 jlasman jlasman 4096 Jul 6 22:07 /home/jlasman/ Any help appreciated. (Though I know you wrote me offlist, the questions are good and helpful and I can only hope you won't mind my responding onlist in an attempt to get as much help as possible.) Thanks in advance.

DHCPd Config
by Joao Medeiros 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

I've read a number of articles, googled the web for a few months and now attempting at turning my CentOS box into a gateway for the third time. Configured my dhcpd.conf and other related files and all seems to be working, I can have my M$ desktop leasing an ip address and all. The problem is when I want to go out to the internet I keep on getting the Request Timed out error. I'm pretty sure I've followed the manuals to the letter. The hardware is working fine. Any clues or pointers would be very much appreciated. TIA, Joao

Kickstart-based Install, editing comps.xml, hdlist/hdlist2
by dan.trainor 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

Hello, all - I've been throwing the question around on the kickstart-list for the last few days here, and can't quite get ahold of things. Please, allow me to explain. I am in the process of making a custom CentOS/RHEL kickstart install. It works well right now; however, it's a hackjob, and I am not comfortable with it as of yet. For the past few days, I've even gone as far as making a custom comps.xml file, for the purpose of the kickstart. What I'd like to do is not include any @groups or -/+files in my kickstart file; rather, I'd like to edit comps.xml's @Base and @Core so that I need nothing else in my kickstart file, except for the configuration options. I know that this isn't required, I'm just anal about the whole situation ;) This would also give me a chance to package, along with my install, newer and updated packages/RPMs so that I don't have to run an update process on the newly installed machine. My understanding is, if this is done, a new base/hdlist{2} file{s} is/are needed to be created. I've read around a bit, and apparently I'm supposed to use a tool named "genhdlist", but I've not been able to find any documentation on this tool, what exactly it does, and how exactly to use it. I'm expressing my frustration, along with many other people who have been in the same situation, as seen from the kickstart-list. I guess what I'm asking for, is if someone has ever made a completely custom kickstart install that does the following: 1) edits comps.xml to modify @base and @core 2) takes newer packages into consideration 3) compiles this information, creates new hdlist{2} reference files 4) gets the mother to work. This seemingly simple process seems to lack a bit of documentation. I ahve found sniplets all over the 'net where it would show a small process of how to get all this done, however, the author fails to document the utility or method in detail, or the process is for something totally archaic such as RH6.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -dant

CentOS on IBM 7043-150, liblaus missing
by Richard Bejtlich 07 Jul '05

Hello, I found Pasi's site (http://centos.upi.iki.fi/pub/centos/4/os/ppc/) describing how to get CentOS working on a IBM 7043-150 43p CHRP 604e RS/6000 box. I have the exact same machine. I followed his instructions and got the version of CentOS he provided working on my system. [root@murray ~]# uname -a Linux murray 2.6.9-5.0.3.102.EC #1 Sun Mar 6 18:32:26 EET 2005 ppc ppc ppc GNU/Linux [root@murray ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.0 (Final) I thank him for posting the files and his instructions! Is anyone else running CentOS on IBM RS/6000 hardware? Does anyone know if CentOS will formally distribute a ppc version for my hardware? I've only found one problem with CentOS so far -- liblaus is missing, so I can't use passwd to change passwords.

Any ideas on how to fix it? Thank you again for helping me get my 7043-150 doing something useful! Sincerely, Richard PS: Has anyone tried running other Linux distros? I did not have any luck booting the latest Debian (debian-31r0a-powerpc-binary-1.iso) or NetBSD (2.0.2, prepcd.iso) on this system, but maybe I wasn't using the right OpenFirmware commands.

Netware server emulation on Linux
by Nigel kendrick 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

One of our group companies has just 'gone live' on a new laboratory management package. Although the software is M$-based (ie: expects a M$ server at the heart of it), it is running with its core database on a CentOS3 server using Samba for client access - in fact, the developers are amazed at the performance and say it beats a Win2K/2K3 server 'hands down'!!! Anyway, the old lab management app that I inherited has its database hosted on a Netware 3.12 server and the client app is written in Turbo Pascal including database units compiled with a specific Netware switch and if we try to run the db off the Linux server using Samba we get record lock errors. Unfortuntely, we have no confidence in re-compiling the ancient source code, expecially since the company that developed the database engine is long gone. We need access to the old data for reference and although I am going to attempt to extract it all and do some PHP stuff with it, a Google search turns up two netware emulation packages for Linux - lwared and mars_nwe - so my question is this: has anyone around these here parts used any or both of these apps with CentOS 3 or 4 and if so can I have any useful insight? I suppose the ultimate test would be to try them both but a head start would be aprpeciated. Thanks as ever, Nigel Kendrick

CentOS 4.1 Apache
by Ben 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Hi folks, I've just put CentOS 4.1 on my webserver, displacing OpenBSD (1 up for Linux :-)) I found that the Virtual Hosts function doesn't appear to work. All virtual hosts accesses default to the main www directory instead of serving from their respective directories. Has anyone else found the same problem? Thanks. Ben

sendmail + plain auth
by alex＠milivojevic.org 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can get sendmail to give me AUTH PLAIN and LOGIN options. What I have is fairly standard configuration. The relevant part of sendmail.mc looks something like this: define(`confCACERT_PATH',`/etc/ssl/certs') define(`confCACERT',`/etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt') define(`confSERVER_CERT',`/etc/ssl/smtp.crt') define(`confSERVER_KEY',`/etc/ssl/smtp.key') define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p') TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL LOGIN PLAIN') define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL LOGIN PLAIN') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25, Name=MTA') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=465, Name=TLSMTA, M=s') So basically, LOGIN and PLAIN should be offered when SSL/TLS is in use (but not for plaintext sessions). However, when connecting over TLS, sendmail doesn't advertise them: $ openssl s_client -connect localhost:465 [ SSL/TLS handshake output deleted, AES256 cipher was used ] 220 testbox.miliv.org ESMTP Unauthorized access prohibited EHLO localhost 250-testbox.miliv.org Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-PIPELINING 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250-DELIVERBY 250 HELP Attempt to "brute-force" use them results in error (as expected): AUTH PLAIN 504 5.3.3 AUTH mechanism PLAIN not available I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, probably a flag or two either in confAUTH_OPTIONS or in DAEMON_OPTIONS, but couldn't dig out which. Alraedy drank all coffe, and becoming desparate ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Re: Compiling kernel 2.6.12.2 with gcc-3.4.3-22.1
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 06 Jul '05

From: Jose Alburquerque <jaalburquerque(a)cox.net> > Sorry, I'm not very experienced and didn't know exactly where to turn > to compile a new kernel. Well hold on. ;-> If there is one area where Fedora Core (FC) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) _really_ differ, it's the kernel. So you _might_ run into issues with rebuilding that on RHEL/CentOS 4, especially since Fedora Development is currently targeting FC 5 -- 2 revisions (~12 months) ahead of where RHEL/CentOS 4 is at. That's why I was wondering if there is a "Development" kernel more for RHEL/CentOS than Fedora Development. I have used the Fedora Development kernels on RHEL/CentOS in the past, but typically only on desktops or systems under test. > Thanks for the link! I'd much rather have an rpm than compiling > directly from source! Well, it's really more than just that. It's all the patches and other fixes Red Hat adds. As much as Red Hat is trying to use the vanilla kernel in Fedora Core as of kernel 2.6, there are still a number of patches, tweaks, etc... that still go in. If I need to modify anything, unpackage the RPMBUILD/SPEC environment, create a formal patch and "rpmbuild -bb kernel-2.6.spec" directly. But I typically and rarely have to do that, and it's a matter of "rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686|x86_64 kernel-2.6*.src.rpm" directly. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Compiling kernel 2.6.12.2 with gcc-3.4.3-22.1
by Jose Alburquerque 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Hi. I just have a quick question that maybe some of you might know. I'm thinking of compiling a new kernel (kernel 2.6.12.2) for my system which is running CentOS 4 (updated to 4.1 using yum). I downloaded the kernel tarball and read in the docs that for stability gcc 2.95.x (x>=3) might be best to compile the new kernel. With an "rpm -q gcc" command I see that I have gcc-3.4.3-22.1 installed on my box. Can anyone tell me if the kernel I'm trying to compile will compile fine using the version I have installed? Should I "downgrade" my gcc to 2.95 to compile this kernel? The reason I'm trying to compile an new kernel is that my system uses a LSI Logic/Symbios Logic 53c875 SCSI controller (information obtained from "System Tools/Hardware Browser" menu in GNOME) and I keep getting a bunch of errors like the following in my system logs: sym0:0:0:phase change 6-7 11@12856b84 resid=2. I read somewhere that by compiling a new kernel (2.6.11, I think), this problem might go away and I wanted my system to run as efficiently so decided to compile a new kernel. Am I doing the right thing? Thanks! Sincerely Jose

Opteron Mobo Suggestions
by Kirk Bocek 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard. I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards. Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394 ports, low-end on-board video. Anyone care to share their experiences?
