Re-export an NFS mount from another machine for roaming profiles
by Nicolas Kovacs 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hi, In my office I have a server running CentOS 5.5. I have Apache+PHP+MySQL running on that server, and I'm exporting /var/www/html, so I can mount it on my main desktop with NFS. Server : grossebertha Desktop : babasse [root@babasse:~] # mount /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /Disque2 type ext4 (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) grossebertha:/var/www/html on /home/kikinovak/Sites type nfs (rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,addr=192.168.1.252) Now I'm thinking about configuring a few roaming profiles here with NIS/NFS, using 'babasse' as my main machine. In that case, I would export babasse's full /home to the local network, and then configure authentication with NIS. I wonder if it can be a problem when one of the directories, in that case /home/kikinovak/Sites, is already an NFS mount. I can't really figure it out, but I guess I vaguely fear some situation similar to the one displayes in "Being John Malkovich", where John Malkovich enters the secret trapdoor to his own thoughts. Thought I'd better ask before doing something silly. Cheers, Niki -- http://www.kikinovak.net

Network card not working after update to 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5
by Mathieu Baudier 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hello, the network card of my workstation stopped working after I updated the kernel to 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 . I don't see any specific error messages when booting, and the related interface is shown as up by ifconfig with its (static) IP address properly set. But I cannot reach any other computer or router on the LAN (whereas other boxes work fine). Where the network cable is plugged, an orange light stays on and does not blink. Booting with 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 instead solves the issue. The network card is: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) I just wanted to share this, and see if anybody else experienced such issues. It makes me feel uncomfortable with updating some remote servers, because it would really be a pain to fix if their network cards stopped working after rebooting (they are not the same as the one of my workstation, but I would feel safer if I could find out that this is a problem with my computer and not with the kernel) Cheers, Mathieu

Init.d script troubleshooting.
by Don Krause 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

I got a strange problem with init.d scripts on a fully updated (as of today) fresh install of 5.5 x64. I've written a script, /etc/init.d/Fast that starts a fairly large and slow commercial application, by calling that applications control binary to do the actual work. I "registered" the script, via chkconfig --add Fast, and the symlinks are in the expected places. [root@rpmbuilder etc]# ls /etc/rc*/*Fast /etc/rc0.d/K10Fast /etc/rc4.d/S90Fast /etc/rc1.d/K10Fast /etc/rc5.d/S90Fast /etc/rc2.d/K10Fast /etc/rc6.d/K10Fast /etc/rc3.d/S90Fast [root@rpmbuilder etc]# ls -la init.d/Fast -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2691 Nov 9 16:49 init.d/Fast [root@rpmbuilder etc]# Testing the script, both via "/etc/init.d/Fast start" and "service Fast start" works, and it fully works for the implemented "start","stop","status" commands. "/etc/rc0.d/K10Fast stop" works as expected. (as does /etc/rc1,2,6 etc..) The script contains full paths to everything. At boot, the script functions as expected. My problem is that at reboot, via shutdown -r or shutdown -h the script does NOT get called, so naturally the system doesn't get to clean up after itself, then it fails to startup correctly next boot. The startup and shutdown of this application is slow, 2+ minutes. I know it doesn't work at reboot or halt because the host goes down fast, and the system is littered with left over pid files and such that prevents a clear restart of the Fast process. I've placed echo commands in the script, both in the stop() function to log the date/time to a file when it's called, and in the head of the script itself, just to see if it gets called at all during shutdown. As far as I can tell, the script does NOT get called at shutdown/reboot time. At all. I'm just confused, this ain't supposed to be this hard... Is there some way to debug init? Suggestions? Thanks <-- /etc/init.f/Fast --> #!/bin/bash # # Startup script for Fast # # chkconfig: 345 90 10 # description: Fast Search Engine # processname: nctrl echo "************************* In Fast ****************************" # Source function library . /etc/init.d/functions RETVAL=0 FASTSEARCH=/opt/Opti/9.1/Fast/fast BIN=${FASTSEARCH}/bin LIBPATH=${FASTSEARCH}/lib SHLIB=${FASTSEARCH}/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${FASTSEARCH}/lib PYTHONPATH=${FASTSEARCH}/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload export FASTSEARCH LIBPATH SHLIB LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH start() { if [ -f ${BIN}/nctrl ]; then cd ${BIN} echo -n $"Starting Fast " su fastadmin -c "./nctrl start" RETVAL=$?

Running a DNS signed zone on Centos 5.5
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

My DNS server has been running Centos for some time. I am in the process of upgrading it to Centos 5.5 (long overdue, I know). Since we now have .com signed I want to get my domain signed as well, but I see that Centos 5.5 is running BIND 9.3.6 and a thread on the BIND list recommends against running a DNSSEC master zone on anything less than 9.6 and you really should be on 9.7. The thread DOES mention that some functionality has been backported by RH to what their 9.3.6. I did find the following: http://jason.roysdon.net/2009/10/16/building-bind-9-6-on-rhel5-centos5-for-… Is this the best path at this time? Can anyone point me to other documents? I have a server that I can test this out and get everything ready before I upgrade my main Centos DNS server. This way I can get it right in one try (or that is the dream).

lvm and /dev/cdrom: open failed: No medium found
by Rainer Traut 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi, every lvm command gives one line with: /dev/cdrom: open failed: No medium found I looked at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431901 and changed filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|", "a/.*/" ] then deleted cache /etc/lvm/cache/.cache This seems to help, but after a while the message reappears. Is there a way to get rid of it, because I'm making use of lvm with snapshots very often? Rainer

Hi All, Was wondering if anyone knows there are any separate rpms to be able to install a true bourne shell and not one linked to bash. Thanks in advance, Phil -- Manners are the unenforced standards of conduct which demonstrate that a person is proper, polite, and refined.

Hey, recently I was asked, how mailman handles bounces and after digging around I also noticed that the current version is 2.1.14 with a lot of bug fixes. So I'd like to ask if there is a (src)rpm out there with the recent version working on centos 5.5. Thanks and best regadrs .
