recommendations for SMS/EMS/MMS software simulation?
by Robert P. J. Day 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

perhaps an open-ended request, but i'm looking for (if it even exists) some centos 5.4 software that will let me completely simulate the sending and reception of MMS messages on a local network which (AFAICT) would require the simulation of the MMS centre as well (MMSC). so far, i've run across (yum-installable) gammu and i'm just starting to take a look at it. but if anyone out there has already been down that road, i'm open to recommendations. i'm just getting immersed in the world of messaging systems and if there's something that would allow me to simulate all of this on a local network, i would be a deliriously happy puppy. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Re: [CentOS] eSATA drive enclosure of a full PC?
by Slack-Moehrle 22 Feb '10

Hi John, Yes, I looked into this and I was looking for a solution with a large number of drives, but at a good cost point. So you are saying a full fledged PC with an 8-port sata mobo is a better solution. --Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "John R Pierce" <pierce(a)hogranch.com> To: "CentOS mailing list" <centos(a)centos.org> Sent: Saturday, February 20, 2010 9:36:59 PM Subject: Re: [CentOS] eSATA drive enclosure of a full PC?

Dear All My CentOS server got hung and when I tried to power cycle it , I checked its /var/log/messages & /var/log/dmesg with respect to the time of fault occurance to see what was really happened . But its 'messages' log does not show anything recorded for about 30 minutes before its recovery after power cycling . Can you please let me know where I can check to find the root cause of failure ?

unattended fsck on reboot
by Alan McKay 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Hey folks, I searched the list archives and found this : echo "AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT=5" > /etc/sysconfig/autofsck echo "AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes" >> /etc/sysconfig/autofsck http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-November/029837.html http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-September/thread.html#81934 Will this do all disks? I want to do a reboot of a couple of systems during our maintenance window and fsck them, but would rather try it from home first and not go to the data center. Then of course rush there like a madman if they don't come back up :-) There was a suggestion in the 2nd thread above that with ext3 this should not be required with proper hardware (my paraphrase). I'm using all IBM stuff - x3550, x3650, x3800 and some of the earlier models like x330. I can't imagine this being an issue. But nonetheless I do have some issues on a couple of systems that look like they need fsck'ing thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Limiting bandwidth
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Greetings, Scenario: Centos box with eth1 (10.0.0.0/24) and eth0 (192.168.0.0/24) segment on eth0 has access to full bandwidth of uplink Both are on 100mbps switches Requirements: bandwith on segment on eth1 needs to be throttled to different speeds - say 32, 64, 128kbps and the such. Required for application performance testing purposes. As usual my girlfriend google is very verbose. (Sometimes I feel there should be utility like googlegrep or something :\ ) I am going through the excellent documentation from: http://linux-ip.net/articles/Traffic-Control-HOWTO LARTC.org Its all a bit too much for me to handle at this point in time and I am a bit pressed for time. Yes, havent worked much on tc / iproute2. In fact not much knowledge in networks in general. Any help appreciated. TIA Regards, Rajagopal

CentOS magic to Active Directory login?
by Scott Ehrlich 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

I've been trying to follow samba, centos, ldap, and other documentation to try and get a CentOS 5 box to permit a user to log into an existing Windows 200x Active Directory domain without necessarily having the box as part of the domain. If it has to be part of the domain, that is fine. The user shall have no local account on the box - I want their active directory account to automatically produce their account on the CentOS 5 box, likely with a shell of bash. None of the web pages I've visited thus far have helped me configure my test C5 box to allow me to successfully at least log into the console of my C5 box with my AD credentials. Leads to proper configuration of krb5.conf, ldap config files, smb.conf, nsswitch.conf, and whatever else would be most appreciated. I do have have any control of the Windows domain controller other than limited admin rights, which largely allows me to create computer accounts. Thus, majority of the work must be with the CentOS 5, of which I have root and can rebuild as often as needed. Thanks for any help/leads. Scott

Re: [CentOS] eSATA drive enclosure of a full PC?
by Slack-Moehrle 21 Feb '10

Hi Rudi, >>If you're building something on the cheap, then you could get an even cheaper setup with a 4port SATA >>motherboad, and an add 4port SATA PCI / PCI-e card. True, that would be each drive on its own port, which is optimal. With 8 ports, I could get 8 x 2tb and and have 8th in RAID10. What about this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=8+x+sata&cid=13835643122069874118&… And just a normal PC with lots of drives? -Jason Some of those eSATA enclosures will use 1x SATA port per HDD, and some even work on USB which is even worse. If you can run each HDD on it's own port, you'll get optimal performance. For a cheap in-office storage, I use these: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&safe=off&q=icy+dock&cid=704673… It's basically a hot-swap cage, but I need to manually tell the OS that the drive was removed, since it doesn't run on a server back-plane. But it does the job as far as cheap storage goes :) Put 4x 2TB HDD's in there and you have 4TB storage on RAID10 -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

hi, guys: Today when i typed "mount " command on the server and found this message: .. ... 192.168.9.252: /home/share/tmp on /net/tmp/share type nfs ( rw, bg, soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,addr=192.168.9.252) 192.168.9.252: /home/share/tmp on /net/tmp/share type nfs ( rw, bg, soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,addr=192.168.9.252) 192.168.9.252: /home/share/tmp on /net/tmp/share type nfs ( rw, bg, soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,addr=192.168.9.252) 192.168.9.252: /home/share/tmp on /net/tmp/share type nfs ( rw, bg, soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,addr=192.168.9.252) 192.168.9.252: /home/share/tmp on /net/tmp/share type nfs ( rw, bg, soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,addr=192.168.9.252) 192.168.9.252: /home/share/tmp on /net/tmp/share type nfs ( rw, bg, soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,addr=192.168.9.252) .... This message was told to me that the "/home/share/tmp" directory was mountd repeat more and more times . I guess it maybe is the NFS problem . But I have no idea of solving it . Could someone give me some suggestions ? Thanks in advance~
