Problem with logrotate and compress

08 Jul '08

Hi I am using Centos 5.1 and I have a weird problem with squid logs rotation. I have the file squid as follow in /etc/logrotate.d: Recently I reduce size parameter. /var/log/squid/access.log { weekly missingok rotate 10 compress create 0660 squid squid missingok size 200M

Any ideas? (I've also modified create parameter for squid be owner of access logs and run by hand logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/squid to see if it repeats the case) Thanks in advance -- -- Open Kairos http://www.openkairos.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -

CentOS mount doesn't support smbfs type ?
by Mário Gamito 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi, I'm trying to mount a Windows folder from a Linux box with the command: # mount -t smbfs (...) but I get the error: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'". Does this mean that CentOS mount doesn't support smbfs type ? If so, how can I enable it ? I'm using 5.1 Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

Firebug 1.2.0b4 for FF3
by Gavin Carr 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

The current beta version of Firebug doesn't appear to install on Firefox 3 on CentOS 5.2, apparently because it's reporting itself as 3.0b5 rather 3.0. I tweaked the minVersion requirement in the xpi to 3.0b5 and it seems to be working fine for me now. In case anyone else is interested in testing it, my tweaked version is available here: http://www.openfusion.com.au/labs/dist/firebug-1.2.0b4-fx.xpi If it turns out to be stable we might be able to convince the firebug team to relax the minVersion requirement for us CentOS users. Cheers, Gavin

That's a nice trick though, I noticed after the 3rd attempt that it goes to our domain registrars nameservers, then segment faults again. But I'm sure this will do the trick On another server it worked as expected, and I could see which nameserver returned the query. My reason for looking for this is that we run 2 nameservers, one on Linux & 1 on Windows - serving the same domain, but it's not synced, so I wanted to see what happens if records change on one server and not the other. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff

Couple of CentOS 5.2 dhcp notes
by Ian Forde 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

1. Apparently, since I updated from 5.1 to 5.2, dhcpd no longer wants to stay running. The config is sound, and I can start it from the command-line with the "-d" flag and it serves up leases. But without the -d flag, it just silently dies... 2. Syslog contains this little snippet: dhcpd: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.0.5-RedHat Figured you'd want to know... ;) -I

Back to my Xwindows kernel panic
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

I have a newly built drive with 5.2 fresh install (that I will be cloning shortly) in my DECtop and it is failing with X the same way the upgrade from 5.1 drive did (not too supprising there). In 5.1 X worked. I could startx from init 3 and get into GNOME. Also VNC into the box and have a GNOME screen. With 5.2, I get a kernel panic. Well I guess it is a kernel panic because once I run startx from the console, my SSH session to the box from my notebook is frozen. From /etc/sysconfig/hwconf I have: class: VIDEO bus: PCI detached: 0 desc: "National Semiconductor Corporation Geode GX2 Graphics Processor" vendorId: 100b deviceId: 0030 subVendorId: 100b subDeviceId: 0030 pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 1 pcifn: 1 the /etc/X11/xorg.conf has # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "Monitor 1024x768" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 31.5 - 57.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Now the way I got this working in 5.1 and 5.2 (5.1 install died for some reason or other, forget which and for 5.2 this unit has the powerk8 patch requirement), I install on an old compaq and change to init 3. I then move the drive and run system-config-display to get the unit to read the hwconf file and reset xorg.conf. This worked fine in 5.1. In 5.2, the system hangs. What to do? btw, i tried pci=noapci with no change. A couple other facts about this system. No accessable bios. When the system is booting (in character mode) the video frequently goes off then back on; some refresh problem. I have also seen this at times in a session on the console when I enter some commands. It would be nice to fix this. It might also tie in with the X problem. Thank you for your continued help. .
