This is probably a dumb question, but I haven't found anything that clearly describes what I need. My system has 2 IDE (PATA) hard drives and 2 SATA hard drives. /dev/hda is the boot drive, but /dev/sda contains my CentOS installation, including /boot, /, /home and swap. I know for a fact that there is no MBR on /dev/sda because the system refuses to boot from it. I would like to rearrange the boot order to use /dev/sda as the boot device (mainly because I'm probably going to get either another disk drive or both another disk drive and a m/b soon that does not have two IDE connectors (I have two IDE DVD burners) and I'd rather not replace any more than absolutely necessary to accomplish this. So, what is the best way to put a correct MBR that will boot from /dev/sda on /dev/sda if /dev/sda is the first boot device? Thanks. mhr

bind-9.3.4-6.0.2.P1.el5_2 and rrset-order: order 'fixed' not fully implemented
by Keith Christian 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Running CentOS 5.2 with the following BIND update rpm, installed with "yum update" - bind-9.3.4-6.0.2.P1.el5_2. Our master DNS has an rrset-order stanza with "order fixed" entries similar to the following: rrset-order { class IN type A name "abc.foobar123.com" order fixed; class IN type A name "def.foobar123.com" order fixed; class IN type A name "ghi.foobar123.com" order fixed; [ stuff deleted ] } When restarting BIND, I find LOTS of these entries in /var/log/messages: rrset-order: order 'fixed' not fully implemented rrset-order: order 'fixed' not fully implemented rrset-order: order 'fixed' not fully implemented According to this page, BIND can be compiled with the "enabled-fixed-rrset" option to support this. How to determine what switches were used to compile the BIND RPM I downloaded with "yum update?" >From http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/view/?release=9.5.0 : 2362. [cleanup] Make "rrset-order fixed" a compile-time option. settable by "./configure --enable-fixed-rrset". Disabled by default. [RT #17977] Thanks, =========Keith

Please help: The process of am-utils map key lookup
by Robinson Tiemuqinke 13 Aug '08

13 Aug '08

Hi, I am using am-utils(amd binary daemon) to auto mount home directories. the mounting process seems working fine but I am still not understand how the amd map key(s) lookup process works. I've carefully read the am-utils(amd) document at http://am-utils.org/docs/am-utils/am-utils_8.html, especially the chapter "3.2 How keys are looked up" but am still not clear. For example, I'd like to access /home/dumbboy/files/deleteme, what is the key to be used, and how the lookup/match happens? and how the mount operations happens? Thanks a lot. I've attached my configuration files below: $ cat /etc/amd.conf ... auto_dir = /.amd_mnt ... map_type = file search_path = /etc ... [ /home ] map_name = amd.home ... $ cat /etc/amd.home /defaults type:=nfs;sublink:=${key};opts:=rw,intr,tcp,nfsvers=3,vers=3,nosuid,nodev,noresvport,rsize=16384,wsize=16384;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}${rfs} dumbboy rhost:=home111;rfs:=/0/export/home * rhost:=home110;rfs:=/0/export/home ... Thanks.

mystery process "unit"
by sbeam 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Ok, dumb question. On a certain LAMP server I am seeing in 'ps auxf' a process called "unit" with no arguments or other path info. It has a fairly low pid, 3041, indicating it might have been started soon after reboot (last week). but ps says it was started yesterday, I don't see it on any of 3 other CentOS machines. It is hard to google for such a generic name. So does anyone either know what it is, or how I can find out more about it? Sam

Looking for remote console on iPv6 without security layer
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

I am looking for a remote console program that I can run over IPv6. I do not need it to supply its own security layer, as I will be running it over HIP (http://infrahip.hiit.fi/). I have discovered that VNCSERVER that comes with Centos does not support IPv6. I would have to pay for a copy of Enterprise VNC from RealVNC for IPv6. I am having strange font problems wiht tightVNC (which is claimed to work with IPv6). FreeNX works with SSH, and it is not clear how to run it without SSH. For my purpose, I do not want to layer multiple security transports. So recommendations???

Sendmail with TLS, permission problem
by Jussi Hirvi 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Hello, list, I have a problem with Sendmail configuration. I'm building (on CentOS 5) a "dual-MTA" setup with amavisd-new (as specified in amavisd-new documentation, file README.sendmail-dual). So far so good. But when I tried to add server SMTP-AUTH and TLS, I get a strange, permission-related error, and STARTTLS will not start. In my .mc conf, the Sendmail user is now the usual - mail:mail define(`confDEF_USER_ID', ``8:12'')dnl ...though when I have cleared this problem, I'm going to add a definition for a non-privileged Sendmail user like this (for the receiving Sendmail daemon): define(`confRUN_AS_USER', `smmsp:smmsp')dnl Ok, when I try to start Sendmail, I get this in the maillog: Aug 11 15:25:24 mail sm-mta-tx[12782]: starting daemon (8.13.8): SMTP+queueing@00:01:00 Aug 11 15:25:24 mail sm-mta-rx[12785]: starting daemon (8.13.8): SMTP+persistent-queueing@00:00:01 Aug 11 15:25:24 mail sm-mta-rx[12785]: STARTTLS=server: file /etc/mail/certs/sendmail.pem unsafe: Permission denied This is strange, because the permissions should be ok - right? [root@mail ~]# ls -ld / /etc /etc/mail /etc/mail/certs drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Mar 29 2007 / drwxr-xr-x 96 root root 12288 Aug 12 04:02 /etc drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 11 15:44 /etc/mail dr-xr-xr-x 2 mail mail 4096 Aug 11 14:42 /etc/mail/certs [root@mail ~]# ls -l /etc/mail/certs -rw------- 1 mail mail 1371 Aug 11 12:15 cacert.pem -rw------- 1 mail mail 963 Aug 11 12:15 cakey.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1952422 Aug 11 14:26 revoke.crl -rw------- 1 mail mail 2258 Aug 11 12:16 sendmail.pem Any ideas, what I should check next? This might be a Sendmail bug - it resembles this Debian bug, which also gives a "unsafe - no permission" error as a symptom. http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-closed@lists.debian.org/msg01560.htm l .
