Looking for uuid-devel
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Just pulled the lastest patches to HIPL (well the last replay was 11/24, so a number of nights behind) and tried a 'make rpm' and got the error: error: Failed build dependencies: uuid-devel is needed by hipl-1.0.4-1.i386 And I can'd find any rpm that has this module. I have tried different things in yum and have not found it. resolvedep, whatprovides, info, list. Nada. I did find a uuidd, but I can't see what files it contains. Note that the author of whatever patch hit me with this dependency is most likely NOT using Centos or even Fedora as their development platform. Where can I find uuid-devel????

Hi All How to configure the mail server to put the code before sending out the mail? eg: When I send out the mail to yahoo to some receiver's address, it needs me to put the number and letter as same as the box before sending out the mail Thank you __________________________________________________________________ Be smarter than spam.

My God, it is full of stars

And it is fast! And big! And louder! What is? The new CentOS mail server is, which coincidentally also hosts the mailing lists you are reading right now. After three short hours and (AFAICS) no lost mail we now have the following situation: The mailq on the old mail server now is empty, while the new one is already fighting with stale dns info, unknown users, deferrals and so on. Normal insanity, I'd say. One word to our moderators and/or mailing list administrators: Everything should work as it did on the old machine. If your list *admin* password isn't working anymore, please drop me a mail so we can clear that up. Everybody else: Send even more mails! The infrastructure for that is here now! Cheers, Ralph

iptables-save: INPUT DROP [26:8260]
by Alexander Farber 03 Dec '08

Hello, why does iptables-save print 2 numbers in square brackets? Is it used for anything? Is it number of inspected packets (and what's the other number then)? And what does *filter mean? Thank you Alex $ sudo iptables-save # Generated by iptables-save v1.3.5 on Tue Dec 2 23:53:56 2008 *filter :INPUT DROP [26:8260] :FORWARD DROP [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [376:82274] -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m limit --limit 1/min --limit-burst 3 -j ACCEPT COMMIT # Completed on Tue Dec 2 23:53:56 2008 $ cat /etc/*release CentOS release 5.2 (Final) 2008010200

Reassemble software RAID
by Kai Schaetzl 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I have a machine on CentOS 5 with two disks in RAID1 using Linux software RAID. /dev/md0 is a small boot partition, /dev/md1 spans the rest of the disk(s). /dev/md1 is managed by LVM and holds the system partition and several other partitions. I had to take out disk sda from the RAID and low level format it with the tool provided by Samsung. Now I put it back and want to reassemble the array. Machine boots fine from sdb and I was able to re-add /dev/sda1 to /dev/md0 easily. However, I can't do the same with /dev/sda2 to /dev/md1 because there's no /dev/md1 anymore and mdadm tells me it doesn't have the RAID superblock. If possible I want to avoid deleting the already existing setup and data. I'm wondering what I shall do next. Can I simply create /dev/md1 as if it was a new array? Is the problem created by the fact that the running system was booted from a logical volume on /dev/sda2? Should I better boot the system from a live CD and then reassemble/create anew /dev/md1? In general, would it be better to *not* put the main system on a logical volume on a RAID partition? (The other logical volumes carry virtual machines.) Thus: /dev/md0 with /boot /dev/md1 with / (no LVM on it) /dev/md2 managed by LVM Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

Anyone with experience with mini itx and Centos4?
by Jason Pyeron 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I am looking to buy a small MB with dual NICs, but I woul like them to be supported directly by the stock kernel. I remember that gigabit nics can be a problem. I think this one (http://www.jetway-mini-itx.com/j7f4-j7f4k1g5d.html) uses the RealteK RTL8110SC and if so (https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?forum=45&topic_id=6983&v… ode=threaded) might still be true. Am I crazy for not using Centos5 or will Centos5 solve all my problems? -jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.

OpenChrome video driver for Centos
by Robert Moskowitz 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

I can find xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.901-1 for EL5, but not the current xorg-x11-drv-openchrome-0.2.903-1 (which only goes from FC8 on). Since my OQOs have the CX700M2 chip and there are listed enhancements for this chip in the 903 version, I would really like to get it...

LDAP Authentication and Authorisation.
by Friedrich Clausen 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hello all, At my current job the time has come to unify our LDAP infrastructure into one tree (preferably). The basics are working but we are not sure how to restrict which users can log into which machines. What we would like is for everyone in the (for example) "infra" group to log into all machines while people in the "development" group can only log into development servers. From an initial Google my options seem to be: * LDAP based netgroups * OpenSSH - AllowGroups, DenyGroups * PAM - mod_access Does anyone have any real world, in the trenches experience they would be willing to share? I would like to know which is the most maintainable and easy to hand-over to more junior admins. Thanks, Fred.
