Re: [CentOS] install older version of glibc package
by Sherin George 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Thanks you so much Peter. I thought it is fixed in latest centos rpm. I got "custom packaged of glibc" from a third party(which I know as reliable) site. Do you have any information about availability of a patched replacement at this time? -- Regards, Sherin

Maybe OT : strange wildcard behaviour
by Niki Kovacs 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi, I'm currently working through some basic HOWTOS (Linux Fundamentals 1-4 by Gentoo founder Daniel Robbins) on a CentOS 5.5 server, just to keep in shape. I've just noticed a curious wildcard behaviour, which I can't really explain. Let's say I wanted to list all the files or directories in /tmp starting with any uppercase character. Normally, I would do this : $ ls -d /tmp/[A-Z]* Curiously enough, this command lists *all* the content of /tmp, consisting of a majority of files and directories starting with a *lowercase* character. I've tested this on two different machines, with the same results. I'm puzzled. Can anybody offer an explanation for this curious behaviour ? Cheers, Niki

can't install mono-devel because mono-basic requires mono-core. But I have mono-core! What to do? I need gmcs.
by Aleksey Tsalolikhin 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi. I'm trying to install gmcs so that I can build gbrainy, a mental exerciser. I am not sure what package provides, maybe mono-devel? however mono-devel fails to install because, it says, mono-basic requires mono-core. I have mono-core installed. Why is this failing? $ sudo yum install mono-devel.i386 ...-> Finished Dependency Resolution mono-basic-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: mono-core = 1.0.6-1.el5.rf is needed by package mono-basic-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: mono-core = 1.0.6-1.el5.rf is needed by package mono-basic-1.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 (installed) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest $ rpm -q mono-core mono-core-1.0.6-1.el5.rf $ Any suggestions? Thanks, -at

more software raid questions
by fred smith 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

hi all! back in Aug several of you assisted me in solving a problem where one of my drives had dropped out of (or been kicked out of) the raid1 array. something vaguely similar appears to have happened just a few mins ago, upon rebooting after a small update. I received four emails like this, one for /dev/md0, one for /dev/md1, one for /dev/md125 and one for /dev/md126: Subject: DegradedArray event on /dev/md125:fcshome.stoneham.ma.us X-Spambayes-Classification: unsure; 0.24 Status: RO Content-Length: 564 Lines: 23 This is an automatically generated mail message from mdadm running on fcshome.stoneham.ma.us A DegradedArray event had been detected on md device /dev/md125. Faithfully yours, etc. P.S. The /proc/mdstat file currently contains the following: Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/1] [U_] md126 : active raid1 sdb1[1] 104320 blocks [2/1] [_U] md125 : active raid1 sdb2[1] 312464128 blocks [2/1] [_U] md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] 312464128 blocks [2/1] [U_] unused devices: <none> firstly, what the heck are md125 and md126? previously there was only md0 and md1.... ???? secondly, I'm not sure what it's trying to tell me. it says there was a "degradedarray event" but at the bottom it says there are no unused devices. there are also some messages in /var/log/messages from the time of the boot earlier today, but they do NOT say anything about "kicking out" any of the md member devices (as they did in the event back in August): Oct 19 18:29:41 fcshome kernel: device-mapper: dm-raid45: initialized v0.2594l Oct 19 18:29:41 fcshome kernel: md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.

I'm not sure which devices need to be failed and re-added to make it clean again (which is all I had to do when I had the aforementioned earlier problem.) Thanks in advance for any advice!

POP3 server
by David 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi folks A POP3 client not configured to keep a copy of messages on the server, as soon as retieve a message send a DELE commando with the number of the just retrieved message. Then, at the end of the POP3 session, the clent sends a QUIT command, wich order POP3 server to close the conection and delete the messages marqued with DELE command. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to tell Dovecot to actually delete the message when receiving a DELE command instead of marking it for deletion after the QUIT. Or is any other POP3 server capable of doing this other than Dovecot. (running on CentOS of course) Thanks David

free space created during partitioning while installing CentOS5.5
by Ritika Garg 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I installed CentOS5.5 on Dell Inspiron N5010. During partitioning, when I created swap = 6GB then additional 4MB free space was created and when I created ext3 for linux=217GB, then additional 7MB free space was created. Didn't understand why these 2 extra free spaces were created.

Sendmail - block mail based on recipient address?
by Sean Carolan 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Maybe someone can help me sort this out. I want to block outbound mail from my network based upon the recipient address. Internal servers should still be allowed to send emails, but not to a few specific addresses. I've tried creating some rules in /etc/mail/access but to no avail. Is it possible to do this?
