machine responsiveness with centos 5.1
by Jerry Geis 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

every other day I do full backups to both a second internal disk and an external usb disk. I am using a fully up to date centos 5.1 AMD 64 X2 6400+ machine. with SATA disks. using an NVIDIA chipset, when I do a full rsync the responsiveness of my machine suffers. Slow on the internal disk and really slow on external usb. doing "top" shows 0% idle but only 17% CPU usage by the rsync command. I am stunned that a 6400+ machine dual core can get this sluggish when doing a copy to disk. Is there something I potentially have not set right? dmesg shows my SATA disks at UDMA133 and 1.5 Gbps. THanks, Jerry

Wireless PCMCIA/PC Card for CentOS 5.1?
by Sysadmin＠dte.net 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Hello everyone, I would really like to get wireless working on my CentOS 5.1 install. I have a LinkSys WPC54G (I guess version 1 since no version is listed) but everything I've read indicates that this would be a nightmare for a Linux newbie like myself. I got as far as NDISWrapper, but right off the bat I am getting issues with KBuild and I guess my kernel source so I can't even get as far as compiling NDISWrapper. My question is mainly: Can anyone recommend a PC Card for a laptop that will work on CentOS without NDISWrapper? If not, is there an idiot guide for installing NDISWrapper on Centos? Thanks and best wishes, Manuel Alvarez

SELinux contexts for krb5
by Timothy Selivanow 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

I have just migrated my Kerberos setup to a new machine (running inside Xen) and it is complaining at startup about the file contexts not being correct, even after running /sbin/fixfiles. On the previous machine I'm sure I had set SELinux to permissive and that's why it never complained. Here are the contexts *after* running /sbin/fixfiles -R krb5-server restore # ls -AlZ /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/ -rw------- root root system_u:object_r:krb5kdc_conf_t .k5.BEAV.VIRTUALXISTENZ.COM -rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:krb5kdc_conf_t kadm5.acl -rw------- root root system_u:object_r:krb5kdc_conf_t kadm5.keytab -rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:krb5kdc_conf_t kdc.conf -rw------- root root system_u:object_r:krb5kdc_principal_t principal -rw------- root root system_u:object_r:krb5kdc_principal_t principal.kadm5 -rw------- root root system_u:object_r:krb5kdc_principal_t principal.kadm5.lock -rw------- root root system_u:object_r:krb5kdc_principal_t principal.ok I suspect the file permissions are slightly off and therefore it's not correctly detecting the configuration files. How can I find out what the owner/group/mode of the file should be? It seems like this would be a simple thing, but at the moment it is escaping me... --Tim ____________________________________________________________ < Look! A ladder!

How to delete files with specical characters in the name?
by Eric B. 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi, I've got an odd situation here. Somehow, I find myself with two files that start with the - character. [eric@apollo mysql]$ ls -l total 93348 -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 9273344 Nov 13 19:03 -N=2007-11-08 -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 38879232 Nov 13 19:02 --newer=2007-11-08 Don't ask how they were created; something went wrong with a script at some point. My problem is that I am trying to delete them, but can't figure out how to delete these files. Everything I try, I get the same msg: [eric@apollo mysql]$ rm '-N=2007-11-08' rm: invalid option -- N Try `rm --help' for more information. I have tried single quotes, double quotes, escaping it with a \ and still get the same error. Any ideas / suggestions? Thanks! Eric

Random procmail filter failures.
by Steven Haigh 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi all, I'm seeing a random issue with my procmail filters (only on email from this list) where once every so often, it will fail to filter a message. I am sorting by the to/cc email address, and this rule works on 99.9% of posts, however every now and again, I see something like this happen: From centos-bounces(a)centos.org Sat Jan 5 01:57:28 2008 Subject: Re: [CentOS] What's up with the mailing list spam?

mysql versions
by Jure Pečar 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hello, I just noticed that centosplus for c4 provides mysql 5.0.54, while centosplus for c5 does not provide that recent version and so c5 is stuck with mysql 5.0.22. Any particular reason for that or it is just that no one has yet compiled & packaged 5.0.5x for c5? Also, where does 5.0.54 comes from? MySQL site is only at 5.0.45 rpm and 5.0.51 source ... -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org
