problem with yum -y update
by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

When I run yum -y update I see that: [root@server:/etc/yum.repos.d]# yum -y update Repository base is listed more than once in the configuration Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories base 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 390 kB 00:05 base : ################################################## 1171/1171 Added 1171 new packages, deleted 0 old in 8.48 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 174 kB 00:04 update : ################################################## 493/493 Added 493 new packages, deleted 0 old in 4.12 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 34 kB 00:00 updates : ################################################## 141/141 Added 141 new packages, deleted 0 old in 0.83 seconds No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion But, no package is installed in spite of yum added 141 new packages. Yum -y upgrade does not work either. This is my repo file: [root@server:/etc/yum.repos.d]# cat centos4.repo [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=ftp://local_repo_server/centos/4/os/i386 timeout=1800 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=ftp://local_repo_server /centos/4/os/i386/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 priority=1 protect=1 [updates] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates baseurl=ftp:// local_repo_server /centos/4/updates timeout=1800 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=ftp:// local_repo_server /centos/4/os/i386/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 priority=1 protect=1 My local repo server is a mirror to centos internet servers and is up2date with centos 4.7. Where's the problem? Regards, Israel.

scp and key login
by Kai Schaetzl 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

It seems the certificate-based login doesn't work on both sides of the remote connection when using scp? Scenario: User on PC A can SSH login to PCs B and C with his certificate, no password prompt. When User on PC A runs a scp operation from B to C he's asked for the password on C. Does the scp actually open a connection from B to C (User doesn't have a certificate on B)? This would explain the problem. I hoped to avoid such a problem by scping from a third machine that normally has certificate-based access to all machines.

Broken pipe, x86_64 CentOS 5.2
by Daniel Andrzejewski 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hi All, I have a problem with torque (openPBS) on x86_64 CentOS 5.2. Just to add there's no problem on a 32bit CentOS 5.2 or 64bit Ubuntu 8.04. The problem is that pbs_mom's child quits without giving any error logs. [root@frodo9 torque-2.3.3]# strace -f pbs_mom . . . bind(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(15002), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0 time(NULL) = 1222785330 listen(6, 512) = 0 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 7 setsockopt(7, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 bind(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(15003), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0 time(NULL) = 1222785330 listen(7, 512) = 0 fcntl(5, F_SETLK, {type=F_UNLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}) = 0 clone(Process 18441 attached child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x2b276258fdb0) = 18441 [pid 18441] getsockname(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(56711), sin_addr=inet_addr("172.16.0.9")}, [16]) = 0 [pid 18441] getpeername(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(389), sin_addr=inet_addr("172.16.2.24")}, [68719476752]) = 0 [pid 18441] fcntl(3, F_GETFD) = 0x1 (flags FD_CLOEXEC) [pid 18441] dup(3) = 8 [pid 18441] fcntl(8, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 [pid 18441] socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 9 [pid 18441] close(3) = 0 [pid 18441] fcntl(9, F_GETFD) = 0 [pid 18441] dup2(9, 3) = 3 [pid 18441] fcntl(3, F_SETFD, 0) = 0 [pid 18441] close(9) = 0 [pid 18441] write(3, "\25\3\1\0 \232\17\205\301f<O0\352\246\357\344Z\31&\243\361\356\2128\242\377\7O{\267\333"..., 37 <unfinished ...> [pid 18440] exit_group(0) = ?

DKIM
by Bob Hoffman 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Okay, Yahoo is bumming me. Only system my mail is having an issue with. All mail is accepted, but junked. I can only think it is the DKIM/Domain keys. It is apparent that the dkim-milter is not part of the centos 5.x distro nor is it part of the mirrors, as far as I can tell. So...have any of you done it with your servers for sendmail? There are some sites that claim to have rpms and I have downloaded the tar from sendmail. But I would rather hear from anyone who has an opinion before I go with one or the other. I do not trust any rpms except for their mirrors, so not sure if I want to do that. But maybe it is fine. Open to suggestions, ideas for what works for you and yahoo. No, I do not want to install postfix, thank you - /ninja'd ya

OT - Monitoring tool
by Robert Spangler 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hello everyone, While I know this isn't Centos related, you guys seems to be on top of your game around here. Sorry for the off-topic. I'm looking for a tool to monitor my servers and send either an email or page or both when something breaks. I would like it to monitor all sorts of services on the servers with one small detail, I'd like it to be able to confiugre so if the DBA need something monitor that is hosted on a shared system that they can only change what they are responsible for and not something else that is being monitored on that system. Is there such a program out there? -- Regards Robert It is not just an adventure. It is my job!! Linux User #296285 http://counter.li.org

Has anyone > else experienced this or have a suggestion on how to fix the problem. I have a similr issue with a Centos 4 system at work, on which i've installed FF3. My solution is to send my printouts to a different printer where they print perfectly! I've got an old HP Laserjet 4 at my desk, and that browser on that OS prints mostly junk characters on that printer. There's also a HP 4250 outside my door, and that browser/OS combination prints fine on that printer. << There seems to be a known issue with Firefox 3 on all platforms, when printing to Postscript printers. I started a thread about it on the Mozilla support forums, did some experimenting, thought I'd fixed it, found I hadn't and in fact, have never resolved it. Things you might try: * Turning off "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" * Changing the default character encoding from "Western (ISO-8859-1)" to something else (and possibly back again) * Disabling the use of the printer's fonts in your driver It's been a show-stopper for me, and I'm thinking about going back to FF2.
