log time formats - where is this defined
by Rob Kampen 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

One of my servers is using ISO datetime formats (2011-02-27T15:22:15.519857-05:00) in the logs the rest use the default redhat/CentOS format (Feb 27 15:10:21). After a couple of hours searching google I cannot find where this is defined. I know I changed it some months ago as an experiment but forgotten where this was done. the ISO format breaks logwatch - thus I need to revert. TIA

opened OpenSSL port
by erikmccaskey64 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Main question: is it safe, to open a port for an openssl server? e.g.: server side - generate a self-signed cert. time openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:8192 -keyout mycert.pem -out mycert.pem openssl s_server -accept 52310 -cert mycert.pem Is it secure? - it could be DOSed' [DenialofService] or could it be attacked in any way? Are there any iptables rule for restricting connections to dyndns names? e.g.: only allow connection from "asdfasdf.dyndns.com" and "asdfasdf2.dyndns.com" and "asdfasdf3.dyndns.com"? How could i restrict the openssl server to only accept traffic from given clients? Please help me "think".. Or are there any "production ready" methods, that can do authentication too? [+using ssl]. "openssl s_server" and "openssl s_client" would be perfect, but the problem is it doesn't has username/password auth :\ Thank you for any help.

Recover botched drdb gfs2 setup .
by Machin, Greg 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hi. The short story... Rush job, never done clustered file systems before, vlan didn't support multicast. Thus I ended up with drbd working ok between the two servers but cman / gfs2 not working, resulting in what was meant to be a drbd primary/primary cluster being a primary/secondary cluster until the vlan could be fixed with gfs only mounted on the one server. I got the single server working and left to for the contractor to do there bit. Two months down the line and a few other hiccups in the mix I have a server that wont mount the gfs partition.. assuming that drbd hasn't gotten confused and lost the data on the drive.. If I can how do I fix this. Drbd is currently as follows: [root@mcvpsam01 init.d]# drbd-overview 1:r0 WFConnection Primary/Unknown UpToDate/DUnknown C r---- Cman: [root@mcvpsam01 init.d]# /etc/init.d/cman status groupd is stopped gfs2 mount [root@mcvpsam01 init.d]# ./gfsmount.sh start Mounting gfs2 partition /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused /sbin/mount.gfs2: gfs_controld not running /sbin/mount.gfs2: error mounting lockproto lock_dlm [root@mcvpsam01 init.d]# And log/messages Feb 28 09:20:39 mcvpsam01 openais[3328]: [TOTEM] The consensus timeout expired.

Standard location for hotplug-time hdparm invocation
by Kenneth Porter 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

I need to disable the spin-down on an external USB drive because it spins down spontaneously while in use. The drive forgets the spindown-disable state across power outage so I need to reissue the hdparm command with each boot or hotplug. Where should I put the hdparm command to do this?

Could CentOS 5.5 on newer hardware make it freeze or shutdown?
by cwlists 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi, I have built a new PC on which I've installed CentOS 5.5 64-bit (with updates) which after some hours of running suddenly either hard freeze or instant power off. The /var/log/messages log doesn't reveal anything of what has happened. The load has been either just idling or with moderate disc activities (transfers over 100GBit). Below is the hardware spec: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 CPU: Intel Core i5 650 RAM: CORSAIR 8 GB RAM HDD1: Intel X25-M 80GB HDD2-7: Samsung ECHOGREEN 500GB ST LABS SATA/300 4-PORT PCI-E PSU: Corsair CX 430W I've also been running memtest86 for more than 24 hours without any errors. I was on my way to return either the motherboard or the PSU when I thought of installing Fedora 14 and give it a try. The PC has now been running for over 48 hours without any glitch, with varying load. I should also mention another problem that strangely disappeared with F14, and that was that the Samsung HDDs, which I have in a soft RAID6, now and then timed out (only one at a time). The message log showed a dump of NCQ queued commands, before it reconnected that disk. In F14 I haven't seen any errors at all in the log. Could those problems only relate to C5, or do you think I also have hardware problems and only been lucky so far with F14? Best Regards, Christian

PCI ethernet card for CentOS
by Timothy Murphy 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

I need to get a second ethernet card for my HP Proliant CentOS server, to attach a LinkSys WRT54GL router to. I see that there are many Realtek RTL8169S gigabit cards going for a song on eBay. Is anyone using one of these under CentOS? Do they work OK? (I used to have a couple of Realtek cards - not gigabit - and they worked fine.) Or does anyone have a strong recommendation for other cards?

True. I'm not interested in either USB or CCTV. Ethernet cams > are much better and smarter technology and, from what I hear, easier to > install and set up. From experience I can attest to the fact that PAL/NTSC CCTV cameras are significantly inferior to modern digital security cameras. I have used devices from Axis, who appear to be the largest and most diverse manufacturer (www.axis.com) but they're not the cheapest. As an aside, Axis cameras run embedded Linux. The newer Ethernet-enabled cameras can use POE (power over Ethernet) but you'll need either a power supply that you insert somewhere along the cable run, or a POE-enabled switch which supplies power to its Ethernet ports. Several brands are available. Using POE makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of trouble, but make sure your Ethernet cable installation is of high quality. Open-source software such as ZoneMinder works with cameras from several manufacturers, and runs on CentOS. I personally haven't tried it, but I understand it works well. Chuck

Hi all, Recently I realize the filesystem became Read-only and there is "media error" message in the system log. It has passed several days without notice. I'm thinking of setting up a script to grep that "media error" and send email. Is there more elegant way of doing this? Thank you.

security cameras

I heard about some inexpensive security cameras which get their power through the same cat5 cable which delivers the data/pictures (which would simplify wiring tremendously). Does anyone know about these? Do they work with Linux, particularly CentOS? tnx 4 tips.

current bind version
by Machin, Greg 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

Hi. I have had an enquiry from the Network and Security guy. He wants to know why CentOS 5.5 /RHEL 5 is using a very old version of bind "bind-chroot-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_5.3" when the latest release that has many security fixes is on 9.7.3 . I understand that its to maintain a known stable platform by in introducing new elements etc .. Is there an official explanation / document that I can direct him to.

The server runs on a Core2Quad 9300, with 8GB RAM (max motherboard can take, 1U chassis) on an Intel motherboard with a 1TB SATA HDD. dom0 is set to 512MB limit with a few small XEM VM's running: root@zaxen01:[~]$ xm list Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 512 4 r----- 96.5 actionco.vm 3 1519 1 -b---- 14.8 byracers.vm 4 511 1 -b---- 85.7 ns1 5 511 1 -b---- 22.3 picturestravel 6 255 1 -b---- 13.3 rafttheworld 7 255 1 -b---- 11.3 zafepres.vm 8 511 1 -b---- 19.0 the server itself seems to eat up a lot of resources: root@zaxen01:[~]$ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 512 472 39 0 13 215 -/+ buffers/cache: 244 268 Swap: 4095 0 4095[/CODE] Yet, it only has XEN, Webmin (since it's a CloudMin XEN server), Exim, Apache and a few other services running: root@zaxen01:[~]$ chkconfig --list |grep "3:on" |awk '{print $1}' |sort acpid auditd crond csf dhcpd exim haldaemon httpd iptables iscsi iscsid kudzu lfd lvm2-monitor mdmonitor network qemu restorecond setroubleshoot smartd snmpd sshd syslog sysstat webmin xend xendomains Is there anything I can optimize on such a server?

CentOS 5 Security Updates
by Cal Webster 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Does anyone know the time-frame when security updates might be published for these applications in CentOS 5? wireshark postgresql krb5 java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-sun The following security updates have been published upstream (after release of RHEL 5.6) to remedy the vulnerabilities described in their associated CVE reports. Remotely Exploitable: (R) RHSA-2011:0013: Moderate: wireshark security update 1/10/11 [CVE-2010-4538] (R) RHSA-2011:0197: Moderate: postgresql security update 2/3/11 [CVE-2010-4015] (R) RHSA-2011:0199: Important: krb5 security update 2/8/11 [CVE-2011-0281] (R) [CVE-2011-0282] (R) RHSA-2011:0281: Important: java-1.6.0-openjdk security update 2/17/11 CVE-2010-4448 (R) CVE-2010-4450 CVE-2010-4465 (R) CVE-2010-4469 (R) CVE-2010-4470 (R) CVE-2010-4472 (R) RHSA-2011:0282: Critical: java-1.6.0-sun security update 2/17/11 CVE-2010-4422 (R) CVE-2010-4447 (R) CVE-2010-4448 (R) CVE-2010-4450 CVE-2010-4451 (R) CVE-2010-4452 (R) CVE-2010-4454 (R) CVE-2010-4462 (R) CVE-2010-4463 (R) CVE-2010-4465 (R) CVE-2010-4466 (R) CVE-2010-4467 (R) CVE-2010-4468 (R) CVE-2010-4469 (R) CVE-2010-4470 (R) CVE-2010-4471 (R) CVE-2010-4472 (R) CVE-2010-4473 (R) CVE-2010-4475 (R) CVE-2010-4476 (R) I know the development team is furiously working to get 5.6 out the door so I understand that there will be delays. However, it was my understanding that "Critical" security updates and those that are "remotely exploitable" would be pushed out ahead of 5.6. If 5.6 is not forthcoming I think many of us would like to see at least the security updates to cover potential vulnerabilities. Many thanks to the development team for all their hard work! :-) Respectfully, Cal Webster

Problem with timezone configuration
by John Nash 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Hello, I have a problem configuring the timezone on a CentOS 5.5 server. I would like the timezone to be Europe/Paris. I have followed the steps described here: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Timezone-in-Linux I think I have changed the appropriate configuration files ( /etc/localtime, /etc/sysconfig/clock ), but the output of the ‘date’ command still indicates the timezone is EST. [root@xxx ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.5 (Final) [root@s15370074 ~]# ls -l /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Feb 19 18:31 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris [root@xxx ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock ZONE="Europe/Paris" UTC=true ARC=false [root@xxx ~]# echo $TZ [root@xxx ~]# [root@xxx ~]# date Sun Feb 20 18:01:28 EST 2011 [root@xxx ~]# rdate -s time.mit.edu [root@xxx ~]# hwclock –systohc [root@xxx ~]# date Sun Feb 20 18:03:34 EST 2011 Note that I have even completely rebooted the server, with no effect. Am I missing something important ? Thank you in advance for your suggestions !

I dunno if Off Topic is really a good name for such a list cause I don't wanna join a list where there's traffic about current events, religion, politics, etc. Tough line to draw though cause I'd certainly be interested in people's opions about other tech topics. misclinux(a)centos.org? I actually posted this question originally to my local LUG (Linux User Group) mailing list last week and received a couple good suggestions and a personal email to try the CentOS lists because that was what the target OS was and likely would be people there who've had experience doing this. Realize it's kind of a grey area, anyway thanks for those that provided pointers. Josh

OT: non-Windows only training sites
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

<rant> Required training from my co is from skilport.com. Sometimes, I can use Firefox to view it... but can't get the completion. Yesterday, I launch the training, and a window pops up, and says "loading", and nothing else ever happens. Oh, sorry, when I close the window, it crashes all three windows of FireFox. I'm told for folks with Macs, they have them come to the offices to take it... on WinCrap, of course, with Internet Exploder. </rant> <rant> Oh, almost forgot: I tried clicking on the "web accessability", which is W3C compliant... and go to log in, and it tells me the content isn't W3C compliant, so apparently only the login page is compliant. </rant> So, does anyone know of a company that provides online training for companies - I gather the companies produce the training to go on the site, or at least they customize a boilerplate - that is *not* IE only? I'd really like to throw that at the person in charge (who I've actually had a good conversation with a few months ago). mark

OT: Ecommerce hosting
by Thomas Dukes 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Would appreciate some suggestions for ecommerce hosting. Been using, cough, cough, godaddy, for about 5 or 6 yrs but in the last year or so, they really suck. Did the hosting myself for a while prior to going with godaddy but I don't have time to babysit. Seems godaddy would rather spend millions advertising during the Super Bowl than put that money to good use. TIA!!

LVM problem after adding new (md) PV
by Tomasz Nowak 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Hello, I have a weird problem after adding new PV do LMV volume group. It seems the error comes out only during boot time. Please read the story. I have couple of 1U machines. They all have two, four or more Fujitsu-Siemens SAS 2,5" disks, which are bounded in Raid1 pairs with Linux mdadm. First pair of disks has always two arrays (md0, md1). Small md0 is used for booting and the rest - md1 is used as PV for volume group (vg0). When I need to enlarge the volume, I just add 2 new disks, create a raid 1 array of their whole space I add it as another mdX to vg0. That has been working fine since yesterday. I received new disks branded by Toshiba (Toshiba bought Fujitsu-Simens hdd business) which were supposed to be added as disk no 3 and 4. As far as I remember I've done everything in the same way as before: - They come out as sdc and sdd, so I - fdisk /dev/sdc, created one primary parition of whole space, type fd - the same with /dev/sdd - mdadm --create /dev/md2 -R -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 - array has been created and syncronized - pvcreate /dev/md2 - vgextend vg0 /dev/md2 and it looks fine: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md1 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0] 140488320 blocks [2/2] [UU] md2 : active raid1 sdd1[1] sdc1[0] 292961216 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0] 3148608 blocks [2/2] [UU] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md1 VG Name vg0 PV Size 133.98 GB / not usable 11.62 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 4287 Free PE 1695 Allocated PE 2592 PV UUID AufZRm-QbFC-xRj1-OxwW-Z2w2-qbkM-qzoEcP --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md2 VG Name vg0 PV Size 279.39 GB / not usable 14.94 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 8940 Free PE 8940 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID qeDW2q-nq5b-Yh5U-5sKY-7Rkd-1UXh-LAxL8j ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name vg0 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 2 Metadata Sequence No 1010 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 8 Open LV 2 Max PV 0 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 413.34 GB PE Size 32.00 MB Total PE 13227 Alloc PE / Size 2592 / 81.00 GB Free PE / Size 10635 / 332.34 GB VG UUID 5cF1dk-1CMM-qiuf-CyNY-aCmw-8Hx8-4iO12I ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/vg0/d0v VG Name vg0 LV UUID q7zmrV-EykH-jPzR-smYJ-eehh-3Gbx-ebu5wK LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 3.00 GB Current LE 96 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:0 [...] this part may be skiped as it's very long an irrelevant.

Found volume group "vg0" using metadata type lvm2 Activating logical volumes Couldn't find device with uuid fNeN0H-zeD1-ems8-TfqW-2pyC-ZBdR-3ni250. Refusing activation of partial LV d1dc. Use --partial to override. 6 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg0" now active [...] but then later: [...] Setting up Logical Volume Management: 7 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg0" now active and after boot all 7 logical volumes work fine. Where could be the problem with these errors? -- Tomasz
