PGP On Centos
by Karl R. Balsmeier 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hey I need to run some pgp commands, -what's the name of the package supported by Centos that will allow me to work with pgp? I need to run pgp --fingerprint key.name or it's equivalent. Pro question. Google searches didn't show much, tried to search for pgp, gnupg, openpgp, pgp on centos, openpgp on centos, centos/pgp. No worthy results came back. Any advice? -karlski

CentOS 5 and Java
by Niki Kovacs 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi, I just installed CentOS 5 on a few machines, to experiment with it. I have some trouble installing a Java plugin for Firefox. I've searched through the forum and read the various info at jpackage.org, and I'm a bit confused. 1) Can you point me to some reliable bit of information, even if it's laconic? 2) If I understand the info on http://jpackage.org/yum.php correctly, Java is not yet available for CentOS 5. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers, Niki -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

by Craig Van Ham 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi all, Does any one know if this is normal operating of ARP. Or where to start looking. I am seeing a lot of ARP requests for my router IP from the same IP within seconds. 21:04:41.112929 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:41.186354 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:41.372972 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:41.546921 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:41.640253 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.104746 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.208952 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.212961 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.304306 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.330411 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.331394 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.332737 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.332740 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.332742 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.332744 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.332746 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.332748 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.334763 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.342436 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.344443 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.350132 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.352140 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.358496 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.360168 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.360172 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.362177 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.362180 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.364189 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.366203 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.368200 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.369542 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.370208 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.370211 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.370877 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.372884 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.376232 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.376898 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.377233 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.377901 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.378242 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.378245 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP 21:04:42.378247 arp who-has IP tell MY ROUTERS IP

NFSv4 hangs on file open
by Pawel Salek 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi, I have a relatively loaded CentOS5 server (64-bit, dual core) and a mixed bag of Fedora 6/CentOS4, 32-, and 64-bit clients. NFSv3 works without problem. References over NFSv4 hang occasionally, in particular on file opening. I wonder whether there is anybody here who can help to trace it, or can suggest a more appropriate forum? The one hang that I have been able to trace involved only CentOS5/2.6.18-8.1.4.el5. The server is 64-bit, client: 32-bit. Hang happened when a program was about to be executed from NFSv4 share. LD_LIBRARY_PATH included a directory on this share. gdb backtrace revealed that the process was being loaded in memory, and an attempt to open (non-existing) library file never completed. /Pawel strace -p 19289 Process 19289 attached - interrupt to quit open("/pkg/pgi/5.2-4//linux86/5.2/lib/libg2c.so.0", O_RDONLY <unfinished ...> gdb program.x 19289 0x0063cb04 in open () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (gdb) where 0 0x0063cb04 in open () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 1 0x0062d6c5 in open_verify () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 2 0x0062dc6a in open_path () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 3 0x0063055f in _dl_map_object () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 4 0x006340d6 in openaux () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 5 0x00635b46 in _dl_catch_error () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 6 0x0063469a in _dl_map_object_deps () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 7 0x0062b40e in dl_main () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 8 0x0063b8bb in _dl_sysdep_start () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 9 0x006292b8 in _dl_start () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 10 0x00628817 in _start () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 The NFSv4 is automounted (direct mount): cat /etc/auto.pkg /pkg -fstype=nfs4 server:/i32 For what is worth, I tried NFSv4 with CentOS4 server but it was hopeless (server would stop responding or panic). Older kernel releases of Fedora6 (2.6.19?) were hopeless too, with similar symptoms. Anybody knows who may be interested in some detailed bug report, or help debugging the problem? Pawel PS. The server logs plenty of messages: NFSD: setclientid: string in use by client(clientid 46604ac4/00000016) but my rpc.idmapd configuration is correct as far as I can tell..

Re: is CentOS stable enough ?

From one newbie to another, I suggest you look at the CentOS site, in particular the page http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=3 As I understand it, RHEL is not based on Fedora. Fedora is something of a testbed for things that often appear in future versions of RHEL, so the resemblance is not surprising. RHEL is industrial strength Linux and so does not have the latest but still wobbly innovations. What it does have is good and stable, and quite recent enough for most purposes. CentOS takes the RHEL source code, which is Open Source, and compiles it as CentOS. They aim to make it totally compatible with RHEL. CentOS is as stable as RHEL, and has what looks like a better update/upgrade process. If your project is on RHEL, then CentOS is the tool for you, just make sure you install the matching version.

Centos5 and X respawning problem
by Scott Ehrlich 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

I just installed CentOS 5 on a Sony Vaio V505 (PCG-V505DC2P) and it worked perfectly. A full yum update also worked fine. The user made various changes to it over the weekend, and how I'm faced with trying to undo endless "INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes" error messages. I've spent half the day googling various answers. init 5 will not do anything. startx and xinit do work, but don't provide the proper window manager nor X window sessions. Now that I think of it, after the first yum update, the system defaulted to a tty, and I had to CNTL-Alt-F7 to switch to the X display. I also tried to install the ATI video driver, but that claimed an error in the end. I tried to comment out x:5:respawn... at #Run xdm in runlevel 5 at the end of /etc/inittab then initiate init 5 from a tty session, but that didn't do any good. Ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks. Scott

System hang on messagebus -> problem with ldap?
by Sebastian Marten 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi list, I've made a new CentOS 5 install with all updates. My users are sored in a ldap directory. If i reboot the machine, CentOs hangs at: starting messagebus I found the same problem at Fedora 5. The solution should be to change "etc/init.d/ladp" from 27 to 21 so it starts before messagebus (22) So is this the "right" solution or is there a other way? Thanks

12 Jun '07

Is there a source for Suspend2 available as an rpm for Centos 4.5 and/or 5.0? And to use it would it be necessary to recompile the kernel?

mdadm Linux Raid 10: is it 0+1 or 1+0?
by Miguel Medalha 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

The relevance of this question can be found here: http://aput.net/~jheiss/raid10/ I read the mdadm documents but I could not find a positive answer. I even read the raid10 module source but I didn't find the answer there either. Does someone here know it? Thank you!
