kernel update doesn't update grub.conf
by Kai Schaetzl 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Just updated another machine to 5.3, everything fine, but grub.conf wasn't updated to the 128 kernel. It got a new modified date and the kernel is there, but the content wasn't changed. /etc/sysconfig/kernel contains the correct UPDATEDEFAULT=yes No errors in logs or during the update. No problem to boot with this kernel once added. This is the first time I ever see this happen. Any clues?

the 5.2 loaders
by Karanbir Singh 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Just looking around at log files and other places, I noticed today that there are still a lot of people installing and downloading 5.2. While a large number of installs would be since people already have the 5.2 media - thats fine, however, new downloads for 5.2 media today makes little sense ( to me ) - so whats going on here ? What can we do in order to better, faster, more visibly communicate the fact that 5.3 is the new target most people should be focusing on. I cam imagine there are people with specific needs and they would want the 5.2 media - but not a number so large, that its almost 80% of all the people downloading 5.3 these days. - KB

Update from 5.2 to 5.3 kernel not on mirror
by Michael Peterson 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I have tried today and at least twice last week since the release of 5.3 on Tuesday and got past the yum update glibc step just fine and have already done yum clean all several times and get through the first part of the yum update where you have to answer y and then it downloads all of the packages it seems but errors out and says that the kernel is not available on any mirrors. The system is running 32 Bit CentOS 5.2. It is a Pentium D system. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix in progress for it?

CentOS 5.3 samba: getent does not return data from the active directory (ads)
by Jason Ellison 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

CentOS 5.3 getent does not return data from the active directory (ads) I have installed and configured kerberos and samba so that the server can be a member of an existing Active Directory (AD). Correct configuration of kerbos was verified using kinit and klist. The samba configuration was verified by using "smbclient -k -L server". winbind was verified by using "wbinfo -g". The problem seems to be nsswitch accessing winbindd to get group information via the "getent group" command. I added winbind to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file like so: [root@nagios ~]# grep winbind /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: files winbind shadow: files winbind group: files winbind I verified that all dynamic libraries are being accessed correctly by using "strace getent group". Below is the debug output of winbindd when issuing various commands that interact with it. The commands are noted in (parenthesis). (winbindd -i -d 9) 00a0 status: NT_STATUS_OK ("getent group" command issued) accepted socket 17 [17171]: request interface version [17171]: request location of privileged pipe accepted socket 18 [17171]: setgrent [17171]: endgrent ("getent passwd" command issued) accepted socket 17 [17172]: request interface version [17172]: request location of privileged pipe accepted socket 18 [17172]: setpwent [17172]: endpwent (winbindd -i -d 9) 00a0 status: NT_STATUS_OK ("wbinfo -g" command issued) accepted socket 17 [17158]: request interface version [17158]: request location of privileged pipe accepted socket 18 [17158]: list groups get_sam_group_entries: BUILTIN or local domain; enumerating local groups as well Attempting to register passdb backend ldapsam Successfully added passdb backend 'ldapsam' Attempting to register passdb backend ldapsam_compat Successfully added passdb backend 'ldapsam_compat' Attempting to register passdb backend NDS_ldapsam Successfully added passdb backend 'NDS_ldapsam' Attempting to register passdb backend NDS_ldapsam_compat Successfully added passdb backend 'NDS_ldapsam_compat' Attempting to register passdb backend smbpasswd Successfully added passdb backend 'smbpasswd' Attempting to register passdb backend tdbsam Successfully added passdb backend 'tdbsam' Attempting to find an passdb backend to match tdbsam (tdbsam) Found pdb backend tdbsam pdb backend tdbsam has a valid init get_sam_group_entries: Returned 2 local groups get_sam_group_entries: BUILTIN or local domain; enumerating local groups as well get_sam_group_entries: Returned 0 local groups get_cache: Setting ADS methods for domain COMPANY ads: enum_dom_groups NOTES: [root@nagios ~]# uname -a Linux nagios.hq.company.local 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 09:53:14 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@nagios ~]# rpm -qa samba krb* nss* nss_db-2.2-35.3 nss_db-2.2-35.3 krb5-libs-1.6.1-31.el5 nss-tools-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos nss_ldap-253-17.el5 krb5-libs-1.6.1-31.el5 samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5 krb5-auth-dialog-0.7-1 nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos nss_ldap-253-17.el5 krb5-workstation-1.6.1-31.el5

Chroot Install
by Marcus Moeller 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Good Morning, I want to update my CF-Microdrive for my router with CentOS (currently there is Slacky on it). I have attached the microdrive to my notebook using a pcmcia CF adapter. Within my CentOS installation the drive is detected correctly as ide_cf and all partitions are shown. But as the installer does not ship the necessary modules for a pcmcia ide installation i am searching for a way to either add these, or to prepare the device from my box within a chroot environment. Any ideas? Best Regards Marcus

CentOS automatically blocks port 80 out-of-the-box
by David M Lemcoe Jr. 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Maybe I just haven't installed enough distros, but the times I've installed CentOS, I've had to remember that by default, iptables is blocking inbound port 80 requests. This leads me to believe that I have a non-OS firewall error because I can ping but not http request. Is there a particular reason for this? Or is it a fail on my end? Thanks, David Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Re: [CentOS] FreeIPA
by Per Qvindesland 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I have heard rumours from some Red Hat employees that IPA will be integrated into Spacewalk this was about 1.5 months ago which would also make sense since Spacewalk is supposed to be their single point of management tool. But as I said it's rumours.

Rebuilding FreeIPA is probably possible too but how long will that be possible ? FreeIPA isn't looking at being backward compatible and don't focus on RHEL interopability. It can probably work for a certain time, but surely not as long as an Enterprise timelife ... That's maybe worth discussing it though. On the other hand, centos-ds is in the testing repo for a while and there were not a lot of feedback : the plan is/was to move it to extras when enough testing/reports have hit the -devel list ... -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
