SELinux resource hog
by Noob Centos Admin 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Spinning off from the other thread about SELinux, I just tried to re-enable SELinux on my personal server hosting just email and forum for a small local community. Average load for this Intel Core 2 Duo box with 2GB of ram (usually with some 1GB free) was generally below 0.4 for the last 24hrs, averaging 0.23 based on MRTG. Once I did setenforce 1, load shot through the roof to fluctuate between 3 to 5. As per my past experience setroubleshootd started chewing up ram more than 600M and 500M worth of virt and res based on top. The server started crawling and php apps stopped communicating with mysql. I had to kill setroubleshootd in order to return things to normal. This again reflects my original experience with SELinux: massive resource hog and this is just a lowly loaded webserver. Naturally it seems to me that this doesn't seem like it should be the norm. What could be going on here or rather what could be wrong here?

How to setup a "secondary DNS server" pulling zones from Win2k3?
by Alexander Farber 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Hello, we have a mixed environment at work: CentOS + Win2003 servers. The Win2k3 part contains: AD, DNS (inlc. dyndns), DHCP, DFS, Exchange. The CentOS part: NIS passwords + also a DNS server. So currently we have to update the Linux DNS server zone infos by hand: I export a text file from Windows DNS server and then edit it around using vim. On the Windows side however it's easy for me to setup additional DNS servers at other machines: I just configure them as "secondary" and they pull zone infos automatically. I wonder if there is a way to setup such a "secondary" DNS server under CentOS as well? And no, I'm not asking about how to setup a DNS-forwarder. (Because I want the Linux server to pull and maintain zone infos automatically and to work even if Windows-counterpart is down.) Regards Alex

Can anyone with a well-connected crystal ball suggest a timeframe for an IA64 release of CentOS 5? Weeks? Months? Never? Thanks Nigel Kendrick

32 or 64 bit (4 gb ram)
by Dnk 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Is there any real advantage to using 64 bit when I am right at the 4gb ram threshhold? Nice plans to add more ram. The machine will just be a backup machie (rsync). Thanks in advance. D

gnet-2.0, gio-2.0
by Ondrej Filip 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

I asked on Saturday and I didn't get reply. I'm trying again. I'm porting one project to centos where we use gnet and gio libraries. Will be these libraries part of centos in future? I'm not sure what relationship is between these libraries and glib. Regards Ondrej Filip

Errors using custom install disk
by John Kennedy 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 (Sorry if this is a dupe. Sent originally from unregistered email address) All, I am trying to make a custom install CD for CentOS 5.2. I am building the iso in a VirtualBox image and testing the iso in another VirtualBox image so I don't keep wasting CD's. I have gotten to where all the package dependencies are met and now I get the following error on boot: An error occurred unmounting the CD. Please make sure you're not accessing /mnt/source from the shell on tty2 and then click OK to retry This scrolls rapidly up the screen (doing text install) and there is no "OK" button. I have seen that there is a bug about this dated 2006 at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206352 But that was closed in November 2007 so it SHOULD be fixed in the iso I am trying. I also read in a forum that the CD "drive was going into some sort of "sleep" mode which the install couldn't overcome." The solution for this person was to <Ctrl> <Alt> <F2> and in the new session do an ls on /mnt/sort every few seconds. Since this needs to be as unattended an install as possible, that wouldn't work even if I could get to the second console. Any ideas?

Hi, On CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (2.6.18-92) the yum security plugin seem to not working. If I try "yum update --security" nothing is done. Is there something to configure ?

Should I be worried?
by Todd Cary 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

When doing my updates, I got this message: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /boot/System.map-2.6.9-78.0. 13.EL;49a Unfortunately, I installed Centos 4 about two years ago on my server that sits in the corner and does it's job of faithfully providing services without me touching it except to run a backup script and do a YUM update every week so. The result is that I have forgotten my Linux know how! Help! Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.toddcary.com/aristephotography/
