process show uid not user
by Frank M. Ramaekers 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

One of my user's processes shows up with the uid (numeric) rather than the user (alpha) on the ps command. The /etc/passwd file shows: theuser:x:500:501:The user:/home/theuser:/bin/bash But, 'ps -ef' shows the uid: 500 9041 8864 0 11:20 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -ef Allother active users show the user. Ideas?

how to change distro live?
by Farkas Levente 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

hi, we've got many mandrake 8,9 and 10 system remotely. we'd like to remotely replace these systems to centos 5. we've 4 disk in them. one is the system drive (no need for raid) and there is free space on the remaining 3 disk. so what we think about: - download the new system to the data disks - install grub (mandrake has lilo) to boot the old system and reboot - create the old system in the data disk - update grub to boot the old system from the data disk and reboot - repartition the system disk - transfer the new system to the system disk - update grub to boot form new system disk and reboot. this seems to easy but has many very dangerous steps and we has only remote ssh access to the system. if we loose the connections we can't access the system anymore and we've to travel a lot! another constrain that we should have to do this very fast ie. it'd be nice if the system wouldn't be down for a long time. - what would be the best method for this? - what are the dangerous step here? - what would be the best way and format to transfer the new system to the disk (we think about an iso file)? - does anybody do such thing and what is his experience? thank you for your help in advance. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

yumex 'crashed' - anyway to resume?
by Robert Moskowitz 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

I spent quite a bit of time setting up what I wanted to update and install via yumex. I left my system for a few minutes to attend to another computer. A helpful family member logged me off without checking. So can I recapture what I had queued? I cannot find anything that looks like a yumex queue file. yum.log does not have any updates from today.... :(

manual partitioning with centos 5
by Marco 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

hi, i'm used to manual partition and format disks before installing the O.S. but with centos 5 this results in an unbootable system. Usually, to manual partition the disks I use the installation disk in recovery mode.. The partition schema I choose was: /dev/sda1 /boot /dev/sda2 swap /dev/sda3 LVM PV inside the LVM VG I created the following LV / /var /home /tmp Then I formatted all the partitions with ext3 (doing some tuning on ext3 parameters) After I had partitioned and formatted the disk I booted from the installation CD and I installed centos 5 without any error. The installed system was not able to boot at all , the boot process ends with a kernel panic when trying to mount the root partition. On the same hardware Itryed to install centos 5 choosing the deafult auto partition option and the resulting system was ok. What's wrong ? What did i miss ? Thank you in advance Marco ___________________________________ L'email della prossima generazione? Puoi averla con la nuova Yahoo! Mail: http://it.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html

CentOS 5 and Xen Windows domU
by Fong Vang 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Has anyone been able to get a Xen Windows domU to install or work properly on CentOS 5? I'm trying to do that now. It's able to boot and start he installation (from ISO), but after partitioning the disk and copying a few files to the hard drive, it cannot boot into the graphical installer. This is the config file I'm using: import os, re arch = os.uname()[4] if re.search('64', arch): arch_libdir = 'lib64' else: arch_libdir = 'lib' kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder='hvm' memory = 1024 shadow_memory = 520 name = "acw2" vcpus=4 vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:18:32:6c:00:ba, bridge=xenbr0' ] disk = [ 'phy:/dev/acw1/acw2,ioemu:hda,w', 'file:/isos/en_ws_2003_std_sp1_vl.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ] cdrom='/dev/hdc' boot='dca' #boot='a' device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm' sdl=0 vnclisten="10.1.34.108" vnc=1 vncdisplay=2 vncconsole=0 vncpasswd='' stdvga=1 serial='pty' on_reboot = 'preserve' on_crash = 'preserve'

Upgrade of dovecot broke imap (CentOS 4.5)
by Joe Klemmer 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

I just did a yum update and one of the packages updated was dovecot. I've been using this for imap/pop3 for quite a while. Now, however, I get an error when trying to login under any account. It gives "bad user or password" errors for every user. The user can ssh in just fine and run mutt or pine. But trying to get in with evolution, or even squirrelmail, just gives me an evil laugh and the finger. Anyone run into this? I was planning to upgrade the box to CentOS 5 next month but I may do it sooner if it will fix this. Thanks, Joe P.S. Please CC: me directly if you can as mail reading is, obviously, not cooperating with me. -- Boring Home Page - http://www.webtrek.com/joe See my blog, sumo game ranks and other interesting junk
