Dynamic DNS update
by Joseph L. Casale 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

I am using a /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks script to update a bind host record for a remote server so I can gain admin access to it when its dynamic ip changes. Does anyone know of an existing script that wont update the bind zone unless the ip has actually changed rather than me hacking one out and reinventing the wheel? Thanks! jlc

Sendmail "Queued mail for delivery"
by Timothy Murphy 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

I see that mail sent from a remote computer never leaves the computer, the last entry in /var/log/maillog being "Queued mail for delivery". 1. What is likely to cause this message? I know I registered with my remote mail server with a different name to my name on the computer. Is that likely to be the cause of my problem? And if so, what is the solution? Or is there any other likely cause? Incidentally, I can telnet the mail server: --------------------------------------- m@althea ~]$ telnet out.alice.it 25 Trying 85.33.2.55... Connected to out.alice.it (85.33.2.55). Escape character is '^]'. 220 FBCMCL01B06.fbc.local Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:02:20 +0100 ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. --------------------------------------- 2. Where incidentally is the mail queued for delivery? I don't see it in /var/cache/ . Any suggestions or enlightenment gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

simple NFSv4 setup
by Joshua Baker-LePain 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

I'm trying to setup a simple NFSv4 mount between two x86_64 hosts. On the server, I have this in /etc/exports: /export $CLIENT(ro,fsid=0) /export/qb3 $CLIENT(rw,nohide) ON $CLIENT, I mount via: mount -t nfs4 $SERVER:/qb3 /usr/local/sge62/qb3 However: $ touch /usr/local/sge62/qb3/foo touch: cannot touch `/usr/local/sge62/qb3/foo': Read-only file system I'd really rather not export the pseudo-root read-write, so how do I get this working? Any hints would be appreciated -- thanks. -- Joshua Baker-LePain QB3 Shared Cluster Sysadmin UCSF

I was attempting to rebuild the Centos 5.4 freetype rpm freetype-2.2.1-21.el5_3.src.rpm and got the following error. What do I need to do to solve it?

Recommended approach for adding PATA_IT8213 support via RPM
by Kurt Newman 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

My question is: Anyone know of a howto of some sort (or perhaps any instructions) for creating a kernel module to add support for a particular device. I need to get support for the PATA_IT8213 hardware. Supplementary information: I've read http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules and http://www.kerneldrivers.org/RedHatKernelModulePackages. However, it seems the underlying assumption for these two HOWTOs is that you have separate source code for the modules. Support for the PATA_IT8213 is already in the kernel. However, the stock rhel kernel does not support it, even as a module. I know I could simply rebuild the source RPM with modified kernel config files, but that feels less than satisfactory since I'm not forced to maintain my own kernel module if I decide to upgrade. Any suggestions?

Intel i7-940, DX58S0 motherboard, Radeon X1950 Pro video card
by Frank Cox 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

This computer is my main desktop machine --- an Intel i7-940 CPU and DX58S0 motherboard with a Radeon X1950 Pro video card. It's currently running Fedora 11 and working just fine. However, I have been slowly moving all of my "computer stuff" off of Fedora and onto Centos, and this (and my Acer Aspire One laptop) are the only Fedora installations that I now have left. Does anyone have any experience with this CPU, motherboard and video card on Centos? This hardware (sound, video, ethernet, what-have-you) works fine on Fedora 11; can I expect it to also work fine with Centos 5.4? The ethernet isn't a big deal because I can easily slap another network card into it, but the rest isn't quite so easy to substitute. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

kdump location recommendations?
by Florin Andrei 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

I need to make a decision on the configuration of the kdump location for a bunch of new machines. It seems like using a raw partition directly is the safest choice, right? If I configure it to dump vmcore on a filesystem, and the filesystem gets corrupted somehow, then the dump will fail. Same for network-based dumps (the remote end may be unavailable due to a number of reasons). The local storage is a couple SATA drives with hardware-based mirror RAID. The chassis is a Dell PowerEdge. Also, what it the recommended size for a dedicated raw partition for kdump? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org
