logs such as messages, boot.log, and kernel contained 0 size
by Frank Ling 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi, My both CentOS 5 servers have logging problems. Logs such as messages, boot.log, kernel, spooler, and tallylog in /var/log directory are all 0 size. The kernel is: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP. Since the /var/log/messages contained no information it would be impossible to troubleshoot the problem. I am very sure both systems have not been hacked by others. Sincerely, Frank Ling -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -rw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 8 04:02 messages -rw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 3 11:04 messages.1 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 25 04:02 messages.3 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 11 04:03 messages.4 -rw------- 1 root root 10 Dec 27 13:00 messages.offset -rwx------ 1 root root 0 Feb 11 19:12 kernel -rwx------ 1 root root 0 Feb 11 16:53 kernel.1 -rwx------ 1 root root 0 Jan 25 04:02 kernel.3 -rwx------ 1 root root 0 Jan 11 04:03 kernel.4 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 8 04:02 spooler -rw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 3 07:51 spooler.1 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 25 04:02 spooler.3 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 11 04:03 spooler.4 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 24 2008 tallylog --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I mean that when I installed CentOS 5.2 on a box with ASUS P6T, the installator of CentOS can not found 2 on-board NIC. So I have to add another NIC to work. -- http://vnoss.org

ASUS PT6 or Intel DX58SO for CentOS?
by Chris Boyd 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

I'm looking at setting up a new machine to run CentOS 5 and a few VMWare machines to test Windows XP, Vista, and 7. I'm working with a custom PC shop and they've recommended I use either the ASUS PT6 or Intel DX58SO. Any feedback good or bad on either of these? Thanks! --Chris

funny SMS server tips
by Fajar Priyanto 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi guys, Hehe.. I thought I want to share this. In previous email, I said about monitoring server room. I just realize that we have this quite old sms server appliance in the room. It's still running though. I want to setup cronjob from linux machines, to send mail to that sms server, and it will then send sms to my cell about the machine condition. Problem is, nobody knows how to configure the sms server, and there's no docs beside a little description in the web UI. Been googling around few hours, but since it's quite old and proprietary, no good result. Problem is, the sms server's qmail refuses to work if I use hostname in the mail like mycellnum@sms-server. If I want to use mycellnum(a)192.168.1.100, sendmail refuses to send it as "host not found". So, out of curiosity, I define this in this /etc/hosts: 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.100 And now sending from sendmail to mycellnum(a)192.168.1.100 works! is it a feature or what? In network convention, all-numeric hostname is not allowed right? Hehe.. anyway, now I can monitor my server room using sms.

network driver at installation time
by Jerry Geis 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Is there anyway to load a network driver at installation time. Centos 5.2 x86_64. Alternatively, is there a way to do a USB network driver at boot? Either is fine... Presently I have a rtl 8168 that just hangs at DHCP request. I want to use all the kickstart information I have setup, but need the network to work for that. Any ideas? Jerry

tty login hangs
by Stewart Williams 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Hi all, I have two servers both identical in hardware and I have just done a clean install of CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on both. Sometimes (more often than not) when I log in at the physical console (e.g. tty1, tty2, etc.) I will be logged in and it stops responding even if the shell is not doing anything. When this happens I can still switch to another VT with alt+f2 and login as normal. I don't know if bash, mingetty or whatever process is locking up. If I do a `ps ax` all processes are sleeping. Any idea's what could cause this? Thanks

httpd: "internal dummy connection"
by Mike -- EMAIL IGNORED 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

On my Centos 2.5 web server, in /var/log/httpd/access_log, I saw several occurrences of: new.mydomain.net - - [11/Feb/2009:14:34:58 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 - "-" "Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) (internal dummy connection)" I have never seen anything like this before over many years of watching my logs. I presume it failed because my named virtual host does not have "new...", if for no other reason. What is it? Why do I have it now, and not before? Thanks for your advice. Mike.
