LDAP Server Access Problem
by Paul R. Ganci 28 Feb '10

28 Feb '10

Hi All, I am at my wits end. I have a LDAP server setup on a machine (the names are changed to protect the innocent) example.mydomain.com running CentOS 5.4 and LDAP version 2.3.43-3. If I issue a ldapsearch command while logged onto the LDAP server host I get a valid response back. For example: > ldapsearch -x -LLL -H ldaps://example.mydomain.com:636 "(uid=joker)" \ > sn uid dn: uid=joker,ou=People,dc=mydomain,dc=com uid: joker sn: Nicholson Everything works as expected. However if I try the same command from a remote machine remote.mydomain.com the command just hangs. I can not find a log entry anywhere that indicates something is wrong. I have checked the obvious things I can check. For example I know that port 636 is open: > /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status | grep 636 110 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 208.139.195.124 state NEW,ESTABLISHED tcp dpt:636 111 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 208.139.195.124 state NEW,ESTABLISHED udp dpt:636 I have enabled access via /etc/hosts.allow: > cat /etc/hosts.allow | grep slapd slapd: ALL I can see the server running and listening on port 636: > netstat -l | grep ldaps tcp 0 0 *:ldaps *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:ldaps *:* LISTEN > ps auxww | grep slapd ldap 21865 0.0 0.2 467976 5860 ? Ssl 19:54 0:02 /usr/sbin/slapd -h ldap:/// ldaps:/// -u ldap I am missing something very obvious. Can anyone offer any clues? Thanks. -- Paul (ganci(a)nurdog.com)

Temperature sensor
by Bowie Bailey 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

Does anyone know of a cheap temperature sensor that will work with Linux? I don't need a fancy monitoring appliance, I just want a simple sensor that I can connect to one of my monitoring servers to let me know if the server room is getting hot. -- Bowie

SMARTD (?)
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 26 Feb '10

26 Feb '10

Ok, I saw more sectors on a drive yesterday, so this morning, no one was running on it, and I took it out of use, then bounced it onto a DVD, and ran fsck -c (check for bad blocks). It finished. I bounce the server. And SMARTD reports the sectors as "currently unreadable (pending) sectors", and "offline uncorrectable sectors". Does smartd cache its info somewhere, or is it reading what fsck already marked as bad? And this has happened before, under 5.3, and under continuing current updates of 5.4.... mark
