Odd failure of smbd to start from init.d - CentOS 5.4
by Whit Blauvelt 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi, We've got a fresh CentOS 5.4 box, and the only glitch so far is that /etc/init.d/smb doesn't start smbd. It claims it does - shows "[ok]" - but only nmbd ends up running. Even setting a higher debugging level in the smbd flags, nothing logs or shows on the console as to why smbd is immediatly quitting. To make it stranger, doing this works fine: . /etc/init.d/functions daemon smbd -D That's the core of how the /etc/init.d/smb file is set up to start it. Except from there it's not working - despite the reported "[ok]". Anyone seen this, or have advice on how to debug it? Thanks, Whit

Resolv.conf being overwritten
by Thomas Dukes 26 May '10

26 May '10

I am trying to add 127.0.0.1 to my resolv.conf. I added it through the system-config-network but if I reboot, its gone. I do not have the caching nameserver package installed. My ISP's nameservers are there. It must have something to do with DHCP. Also, in the network config GUI, should I select the IPv6 option for either or both network cards? TIA

Is anyone using 'user mode linux' to create virtual centos servers under a master centos server? Is there a package for this? Is xen or something a better way to go? Matt

But somehow while trying to install <http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/#>a fresh machine with ks file through NFS is giving this error message. Please look in to this and let me know if there is something I need to configure before starting the installation. Thanks in advance ~

OT: Strange Email Problem
by Susan Day 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi; I have an email form that worked fine until now. For some reason, if I send an email to an email address at a domain that I control, I can receive the email TTW no problem. However, if I try and push it to, for example, this gmail account, I never get it. It's not even in the spam filter. What could this be? TIA, Susan

SATA hotswap
by Jakub Jedelský 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi all, I changed a bad disk (automaticly disabled from software raid1 and system for I/O error) in one of our servers and now have problem with adding new one to system without reboot. Does anybody have an experience with this? Or is it possible? :) We're using hotswap AXX6DRV3G for 6 SATA disks from Intel connected directly to MB (S5520HC from Intel too). There is AHCI as driver (enabled in bios), no HW raid. I found, something like that echo "0 0 0" >/sys/class/scsi_host/host<n>/scan but it found only sda disk which is already running.. Using CentOS 5.5, x86_64. Thanks for your ideas and replies ... and excuse my english please :) -- Jakub Jedelský e-mail/jabber: jakub.jedelsky(a)gmail.com http://dev.stderr.cz

Centos 5.4 to 5.5 fails to update lvm2 (needs newer device-mapper?)
by C R Ritson 25 May '10

25 May '10

Updating from centos 5.4 to 5.5 using an update rather than a rebuild, I get the following complaint from yum:- lvm2-2.02.56-8.el5_5.1.x86_64 from setup has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: device-mapper >= 1.02.39-1 is needed by package lvm2-2.02.56-8.el5_5.1.x86_64 (setup) This is from a local mirror, so checking the upstream feed in case the mirroring is incomplete I see the following:- The updates directory http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/ contains no device-mapper package, just:- lvm2-2.02.56-8.el5_5.1.x86_64.rpm The install directory http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/ contains contains newer copies of both device-mapper and lvm2 than was current for centos 5.4:- device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5.x86_64.rpm lvm2-2.02.56-8.el5.x86_64.rpm What is the right solution? To copy the missing RPM into our local mirror? There is a redhat bug report that may relate... https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2010-0368.html as does the earlier https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2010-0298.html report.

Re: [CentOS] [WTA] Automatically blocking on failed login
by Mr Gabriel 25 May '10

Maybe he should go with Centos based solution, because moving what ever services are on his box to a smooth wall instance, is going to be murder! I would still suggest fail2ban, I have hundreds of attempts against my server farm all day everyday, and the fail2ban scripts really help to stop my services being tied up denying logins or crashing, because each ip only gets three strikes, and is out, and that's across all servers. Also, my traffic logs are more accurate, and my average load dropped a bit too. --- Kind Regards, Mr Gabriel (bberry mail) -----Original Message----- From: "Sorin Srbu" <sorin.srbu(a)orgfarm.uu.se> Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 09:22:39 To: 'CentOS mailing list'<centos(a)centos.org> Subject: Re: [CentOS] [WTA] Automatically blocking on failed login _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
