Boot/init problem with IBM Netfinity 4500
by Will McDonald 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

I hope the CentOS people don't mind me cross-posting for their input. I've just done a clean, text-mode minimal WBEL4 install on an IBM Netfinity 4500, essentially the same hardware as an xSeries 340. The install went fine but now the box will boot, run through the initrd init sequence, perform its switchroot then hang here... SELinux: Initializing. SELinux: Starting in permissive mode I don't think it's an SELinux issue though, booting with selinux=0 the system just hangs after the switchroot because it's not initializing SELinux at all. It's what's coming next that's causing the problem. On a working system (different hardware) the next stage is INIT... INIT: version 2.85 booting I've tried adding some debug echo lines into rc.sysinit incase it's something in there causing the problem but the init process doesn't appear to be getting that far. So, somewhere between the initrd's switchroot and spawning INIT something's broke. It'll boot into rescue mount and I can chroot into the root filesystem and everything in there seems to be as it should. I've tried booting with selinux=0, noapic and noprobe with no change. Where next? All suggestions appreciated. Will.

Why is yum not liked by some?
by Todd Cary 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

I have seen messages posted on the Fedora oriented forums that imply that "yum" is antiquated. Not being a Linux guru, I do not have the experience to make a thorough evaluation, but so far it has been just great. Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

ppc questions

I've got a > pile of unused G4 400-800mhz powermacs just sitting around The ppc32 distro will work on any NewWorld G3, G4 based machine ( and 32bit ibm power, like the older rs6k's ) - it _also_ works fine on the MacMini and G4 Xserve's. With some common sense tweaks, a G4 450Mhz is a very usable machine running CentOS4 in 386MB of ram. Much more usable than OSX Tiger. > that I'd love to > get some use out of, but I don't think they'd be very responsive with > OSX tiger. how much of Ram do these machines have ? if its anything >=256 megs, you have very functional and usable desktop machines there. > My children's school has a lab full of Macs so I'm > wondering if I donated the machines, installed CentOS and then > volunteered some > time each week to train someone how to maintain them, that might be > better than having them collect dust at the office. Sounds like a plan, go for it - if you have any issues, feel free to drop a message here or come find us on #centos-ppc / #centos on irc.freenode.net > As for PPC64, has anyone done benchmarking between a ppc64 and OSX > system on the same G5 hardware? Linux wins hands down. I am sitting typing this out on a Dual G5 2ghz, and I find Linux to be much more responsive than OSX. anandtech had a write-up recently where they compared OSX Server to Linux on the server side of things, iirc correctly - Linux came out on top. A bit of googling should dig up the exact article. - K

I need to start doing some email filtering. Can someone point me in the direction of how to do this if they have a link handy? If not I'll Google anyway, but I thought I'd ask just in case. Preston

OT: Proftpd and Iptables
by Ed Morrison 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

Hi Peoples, I'm still beating my head with the Proftpd although I have solved my orininal issue. That turned out to be an iptables issue and I'm beginning to wonder if iptables is playing with me again. I have an FTP server that allows anonymous downloads and with specific accounts able to upload to the anonymous directory. The problem is, those users cannot upload. I have attached my proftpd conf file and my iptables for those willing to take a look and provide some feedback: Thanks for any feedback. Iptables: #!/bin/bash # Make sure modules are loaded insmod ip_tables insmod ip_conntrack insmod ip_conntrack_ftp insmod ipt_state # Flush any existing rules iptables -F # Block x.x.x.x/x.x.x.x iptables -A INPUT -s 194.150.236.171 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 213.193.230.2 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 205.134.230.2 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 201.15.13.42 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 61.100.12.125 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 193.136.200.48 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 61.218.41.152 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 61.183.22.0/24 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 80.228.206.0/24 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s 67.94.106.0/24 -j DROP # Allow other traffic # iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 20 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 21 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT #Drop all other traffic #iptables -A INPUT -j DROP Proftpd conf: AuthPAMAuthoritative on IdentLookups off UseReverseDNS off Port 21 Umask 022 ListOptions "-a" AllowRetrieveRestart on AllowStoreRestart on MaxInstances 20 User nobody Group nobody ScoreboardFile /var/run/proftpd.score <Global> AllowOverwrite yes <Limit ALL SITE_CHMOD> AllowAll </Limit> </Global> LogFormat default "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b" LogFormat auth "%v [%P] %h %t \"%r\" %s" TransferLog /var/log/proftpd/xferlog ExtendedLog /var/log/proftpd/access.log WRITE,READ ExtendedLog /var/log/proftpd/auth.log AUTH auth UseFTPUsers off <Anonymous /var/ftp/pub> AnonRequirePassword on User gps Group gps #DefaultChdir /var/ftp/pub/ RequireValidShell off <Limit STOR> AllowAll </Limit> <Limit WRITE> AllowAll </Limit> </Anonymous> <Anonymous ~ftp> User ftp Group ftp AccessGrantMsg "Anonymous login ok, restrictions apply."

[OT] Can we end this now, please ? (Was: [CentOS] Why is yum not liked by some?)
by Rohan Walsh 15 Sep '05

Dag said: > Please everybody involved, go private. Little has been added since > the first few posts and it's getting boring. Besides, I'm sure as > soon as this is a private discussion it dies silently as no honor > has to be defended. I agree. One point (and my addition) from 'Skill with People' by Les Giblin from the section '7 musts for successful criticism' - 1. Criticism should be made in absolute privacy. technical corrections on the list, correction re manners, attitude, etc etc off list My observation is that on this list criticism of manners etc ALWAYS makes the problem worse, technical discussion gets left behind in favour of a flame war, the exact opposite of the stated intention of the criticism. Dag's comments sums up why nicely. Figure it out already! For those of you who deal regularly with customers, particularly if you're self employed or paid by contract, I highly recommend getting this booklet. It takes about 15 minutes to read, so can be done regularly before talking to a new client, going for job interview etc. I have no doubt it can cause a sharp increase in income for many people. ISBN 187 682 5278 Since this is already offtopic, if anyone really needs to reply, off list is probably best. regards Rohan
