sendmail: fatal message, sudo bash
by Farid Hamjavar 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Centos 5 Hello I successfully converted my mta from sendmail to postfix. no problem. mail is ok. A by-product of that, as bizarre as it may seem is this: As regular user, when I do 'su -' to become root, all is well. As regular user, when I do 'sudo bash' I become root alright but I also get: sendmail: fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option I tried many things ranging from temporarily swapping sendmail.postfix to messing around with /etc/profile and /etc/skel/* and many other things. How can I address the annoying message above? Thanks, Farid

system gets suspended automatically!
by Chandra 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hello! I am running CentOS-5 with latest kernel available by deault (2.6.23). I installed it on a Dell XPS machine having Intel Quad processors (4 parallel cpus). I use it to run a computational program and I need to keep the program running for 1-2 months continuously. I generally boot it in runlevel-3 with network ON without X and use ssh from another machine to connect and run the program using the "nohup" utility. However, the system automatically gets suspended (the computational program stops, ssh stops working, whole the OS seems to be freezing) after 4-5 hours. I have stopped the "acpid" daemon and boot the kernel with "acpi=off" option in "grub.conf" but no help. The kernel log ( /var/log/messages) doesn't show anything special. After the instant of suspension, kernel also stops logging into "/var/log/messages". Please help me out. I think there is a kernel problem. I have run programs for days and days continuously using FC5 (which had older kernel). I can't use FC5 or older version of CentOS because I need GCC-4.1.2+ to compile parallel OpenMP program. Thank you, Chandra

ohci_hcd 0000:00:0f.2: wakeup
by Jun Salen 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi, I had successfully installed CentOS 5.1 fully updated in old Fujitsu Primergy MS610 server. There was no problem except that during startup, I found many message saying "ohci_hcd 0000:00:0f.2: wakeup". Searched the internet and did what is written to avoid this to no avail. Anyone have ideas on how to resolve this? It seems that it was related to USB port which, I will not use anyway.

strategy/technology to backup 20TB or more user's data
by ankush grover 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi Friends, I am currently using Samba on Centos 4.4 as a domain member of AD 2003 with each user having a quota of 2GB(no of users is around 2,000). Now the management wants to increase the quota to 10GB with this there will be more than 20TB of data to be backup weekly which will take lots of hours. Currently Veritas backup software is used to backup data on tapes. There is a concept of snapshots of Samba with LVM where snapshots of samba are taken at the given interval but so far haven't found any good article or how-to on that and also what is the experience of users using this technology and also what other technologies are being to handle TBs of data. Kindly let me know if you need any further inputs Thanks & Regards Ankush

Discrepancy between df and quota commands
by Balaji 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi All, There is some discrepancy between what quota reports and what du reports -bash-3.00$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.4 (Final) -bash-3.00$ pwd /home/corview -bash-3.00$ df . Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01 10095152 586932 8995404 7% /home -bash-3.00$ du -sh . 19M . -bash-3.00$ quota Disk quotas for user corview (uid 934): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01 968480* 900000 1000000 none 268 0 0 As shown above du says only 19MB is occupied by user corview( No big files of corview are present in /tmp/ or /var/ ) But quota says 968480 out of 1000000 is used. -bash-3.00$ id uid=934(corview) gid=934(corview) groups=19(floppy),934(corview),935(admin) -bash-3.00$ grep 934 /etc/passwd corview:x:934:934::/home/corview:/bin/bash nbiperf:x:946:934::/home/nbiperf:/bin/bash nbibill:x:947:934::/home/nbibill:/bin/bash rilbill:x:948:934::/home/rilbill:/bin/bash So, no other user with id 934. and data in other users who are in corview group is also very small. lsof hasnt revealed any thing. How do I know which file(s) is(are) eatig so much.? I found a peculiar problem -bash-3.00$ pwd /home/corview -bash-3.00$ ls -l total 20 drwxrwxr-x 2 corview admin 4096 Nov 15 12:53 as -rw-r--r-- 1 corview corview 0 Feb 5 15:50 b drwxr-xr-x 6 corview corview 4096 Nov 14 22:49 log drwxr-xr-x 3 corview corview 4096 Nov 14 22:49 print drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 14 22:48 replicatedfiles drwx------ 4 corview corview 4096 Nov 14 22:49 ricEMS -bash-3.00$ find . -uid 934 -exec ls -l "{}" ";"|nl 38 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 258959 Apr 27 2006 jta25b.jar 39 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 40 Feb 5 2007 Module.txt 40 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 164 Feb 5 2007 temp1.txt 41 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 249 Feb 6 2007 temp2.txt 42 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 93 Feb 6 2007 temp3.txt 43 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 249 Feb 6 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/con fig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/temp2.txt 44 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 392 Feb 5 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/con fig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/flt-http-deny-ruleid.txt 45 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 41 May 23 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/conf ig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/BBGL_Enable.txt 46 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 26 May 23 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/conf ig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/Adsl_Selt_Disconnect.txt 47 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 39 May 23 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/conf ig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/Adsl_Selt_Connect.txt 48 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 40 Feb 5 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/conf ig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/Module.txt 49 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 164 Feb 5 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/con fig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/temp1.txt 50 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 258959 Apr 27 2006 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/ config/Profile/WorkingDirectory/jta25b.jar 51 -rwx------ 1 corview corview 245 Feb 5 2007 ./ricEMS/corView/resource/con fig/Profile/WorkingDirectory/flt-arp-rep-srcip-deny-ruleid.txt As we see some files show up twice in find.

python XML processing to turn a XML file into a structure?
by Robinson Tiemuqinke 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi, I'm running Centos 5 with python 2.4.3. Anyone know if there are python xml processing tools/packages that can turn an XML file directly into a complex structure? and write a complex structure back into an XML file? I'm a newbie to Python programming, though years ago I've processed XML files with Java but now I am in a rush. Thanks. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Kickstart stops with dialog about which networking device - how to avoid
by Keith Christian 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Using a kickstart file that stops with a curses dialog "You have multiple network devices on this system. Which one do you want to install through?" The machine being configured with PXEboot has two ethernet interfaces. What's missing from the network entries below? I'd like this install to proceed without asking which ethernet interface. PXE begins the install with DHCP, so Kickstart should already know which of eth0, eth1, etc. to use. Here is the ethernet line in the ks.cfg file: network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp Any ideas appreciated. =======Keith

xloadimage in centos 5.1
by Jerry Geis 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

I have noticed that xloadimage rpm is not in centos 5.1 I use the command "xview -identity" to get the size of gifs, jpgs, and pngs. xview is part of the xloadimage package. The command "file filename" also reports sizes for gifs and pngs BUT not for jpgs. Is there an alternative command to use to report gif jpg and png sizes? I thought about just getting an older xloadimage package and that works but I want to do it the right way... THanks, Jerry

hp dl585 - qlogic hba's - centos 4.5 x86_64
by Tom Brown 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi I recently installed some hba's into a bunch of these 585's as they are forming a RAC cluster - previously to this they were all using DAS without issue. After the qlogic cards were installed i reinstalled the OS and now once installed the OS will not boot - the box just reboots continuously, it does not even appear to get to grud, although this could be the ilo not displaying correctly. I have installed the OS onto the internal RAID set as usual and the MBA gets put onto this internal RAID disk also, the internal disks are just laid out in a /boot and a / Does anyone know what the issue could be or how i could disable these hba's during the install process so that they are not recognised? thanks
