Re: [CentOS] CentOS-DS Configuration/Setup Issue
by gene.poole＠macys.com 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

All, Thanks for all of the input! Actually, I fixed the issue by using a single yum command: yum -y reinstall centos-ds* It seems that I was using my laptop to work on my server via putty and something 'broke' which caused the original install to have issues. But, the above command corrected all of the dependencies and other issues. All is working fine now! One last question: Where can I find a definitive how to on creating a LDIF file? Thanks, Gene Poole From: Gene Poole/MST/MACYS To: CentOS(a)centos.org Date: 11/20/2009 09:49 AM Subject: CentOS-DS Configuration/Setup Issue All, I'm running CentOS 5.4 and I've installed the CentOS Directory Server by running yum -y install centos-ds* without any errors. But as soon as I attempt to run the setup I get the following: [root@jpdsys3 ~]# /usr/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl Can't locate Setup.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib64/dirsrv/perl /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /usr/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl line 24.

bash variable expansion moment
by ken 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

It's half a nice Saturday later and many attempts have brought no satisfaction. Maybe this can't be done. I'm trying to write a function which, when called from one function execute in another. In itself, that's not the problem. Rather, there's one built-in variable which is evaluated in the function definition and it's value is then set (too early). Here's the one file (func-file): ------------------------- Line() { echo This is line "$LINENO" $@ } ------------------------- That one is called by this one: ------------------------- #!/bin/bash . ./func-file Line ... it should be $LINENO ------------------------ I want the function Line to show the line number in the second file where it's executed, not the line number from the sourced function. Any mavens got the skinny on this? tia -- War is a failure of the imagination. --William Blake

Hello I was just asked what the logo means and I had to admit that I really had no idea, as it was chosen way before my time. Can someone please enlighten me about the logo. I have tried google but nothing really came up :) Some pointers would be very helpful. Cheers Didi -- My www page: www.ribalba.de Email / Jabber: ribalba(a)gmail.com Skype : ribalba

What's wrong with yum-priorities?
by Dennis Kibbe 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

"The upstream maintainer of yum, Seth Vidal, had the following to say about 'yum priorities' in September 2009: Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities. There are so many things about priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just be that it reminds me of apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to hurl." This note was placed on the wiki (PackageManagement/Yum?Priorities) without any explanation why yum-priorities isn't a good idea. yum-priorities doesn't appear in RHEL 5.4 but protectbase does. Is that the better choice and if so why? Thanks, Dennisk -- "Free as in Freedom" Free Software Foundation

Inquiry:How to enable "NAT" on CentOS 5 ?
by hadi motamedi 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Dear All On my CentOS 5 , I installed the Asterisk 1.4.13 and DECT application software and then when I want to try for "NAT" I issue as the followings : #iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.20.30.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE But it didn't get through . So I checked if the "NAT" is enabled on my CentOS server , as the followings : #echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward But still I cannot try for "NAT" . Can you please let me know which other setings maybe influenced and need to be checked for enabling the "NAT" ? Thank you in advance

yum-priorities (recap)
by Dennis Kibbe 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Thanks for everyone's input. I had been under the impression and was passing that impression on to my students. The take-away here seems to be that once you start mixing official and unofficial repos anything can happen. dennisk -- "Free as in Freedom" Free Software Foundation

dnsmasq - where to use? where not?
by Rob Kampen 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

Hi list, On updating my server today, I noted that dnsmasq was updated, I do not recall installing this onto my server as it is running bind/named and dhcpd, thus why does it need dnsmasq? So I did a $> sudo yum remove dnsmasq to find out what rpm / yum thinks about it - I get a list of NetworkManager(-glib) removals evolution(-connector) removals krb5-auth-dialog also...... I think I can live without NetworkManager and evolution on this server, but why krb5-auth-dialog?? Any suggestions appreciated. TIA Rob

system time automatically fowards in time and then comes back to normal
by ankush grover 22 Nov '09

Hi friends, I am running Nagios 2.7-1 on Centos 5.0 32-bit hosted on Vmware ESX 4.0. The issue I am seeing on the server is sometimes nagios is showing the below messages in /var/log/messages and as the system time gets changed some false alarms gets generated. I searched it on the google but I am not able to find the correct solution. I even posted on the nagios forum and they asked me to see elsewhere why the server shitfs so much before looking at nagios. Nov 21 20:37:12 linuxmonitoring nagios: Warning: A system time change of 4398 seconds (forwards in time) has been detected. Compensating... Nov 21 19:23:54 linuxmonitoring nagios: Warning: A system time change of 4398 seconds (backwards in time) has been detected. Compensating.. Earlier this server was syncing time through ntp daemon and below is the ntp.conf file. Now I have set a cronjob which sync the time with the ntp server every 5 minutes but still the problem persist. ntp.conf file restrict default ignore restrict 127.0.0.1 driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift broadcastdelay 0.008 #authenticate yes keys /etc/ntp/keys restrict 172.16.6.3 nomodify notrap noquery server 172.16.6.3 restrict 172.16.6.2 nomodify notrap noquery server 172.16.6.2 Please see the output of hwclock and date at the same time. hwclock Sat 21 Nov 2009 08:19:02 PM IST -0.496922 seconds date Sat Nov 21 20:19:55 IST 2009 Please advice what I need to do to fix this error.
