CentOS 6 KDE: remove default icons
by Michael D. Berger 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

On my newly installed CentOS 6 I am running KDE (I think; I selected it in the setup, but how would I know?). It has three default icons: Computer; Root's Home; Trash. I do not see them in /root/Desktop. How can I remove them? Thanks, Mike.

OT: Hardware upgrade help
by Thomas Dukes 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

I would like to upgrade my system to a 64 bit machine. I'd like to find a bare bones platform to build on. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on this as it is a home system. I looked on the CentOS sponsor page but only saw hosting services. I haven't kept up with hardware in years so I'm dumber than dirt on what's out there. I would prefer a desktop so I can stack it. Don't think I need to do the Xeon as that would be overkill for a home user. This would be replacing my 'server' so I need PCI slots for an additional NIC and a 32 bit video capture card used for zoneminder. Not sure what PCI express is or if my cards would work in those slots. Yep, I'm running 8 yrs old machines, IBM NetVistas. :-( Any help or referal to a sponsor would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Eddie

rsync CR upgrade
by Michael Simpson 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hello Is anyone else having problems on 5.6 using the new rsync from the CR repo I have only managed to get rsync (called from the cli) working again after downgrading it to the previous 2.x release as the newer version was just spitting out the ssh usage information and failing. This server is stock i386 with just the CR as an extra repo. regards mike

Missing UIDs
by Anne Wilson 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

From time to time I'm seeing this message: I couldn't find the numerical IDs of these users: abrt nslcd pulse rtkit saslauth tcpdump usbmuxd In most cases this is caused by inconsistencies in the user or group database, e.g. between the files /etc/passwd, /etc/group and their respective shadow files /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow. I will try to ignore these entries and continue for now, but please fix these inconsistencies as soon as possible.it </quote> My first thought was to use system-config-user and create users with IDs matching their group IDs. However, doing it that way requires passwords to be set. How should I correct this? Anne

qemu-kvm-0.15 + CentOS 5.6 + vanilla 2.6.35.14 (working, patch included)
by Walter Haidinger 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi! Just in case somebody else needs this. Below is a patch which allows building qemu-kvm-0.15 unter CentOS 5.6 with vanilla kernel 2.6.35.14 and (optionally) vde2 [1]. FYI: qemu-kvm-0.15 compiles fine on CentOS 6 with distro-kernel, no patches needed. For CentOS 5.6, unpack 0.15 qemu-kvm tarball [2], apply the path below, configure and compile. Make sure to export the kernel include path before building, otherwise the kernel mman-common.h header won't be found: export CPATH=/lib/modules/2.6.35.14/build/include The patch also adds some #error pragmas to make sure that KSM is used. This isn't a requirement to run, though. If you'd like to use vde2 too, then additionally export the paths to the vde2 installation (here: /opt/vde2) before configure (if vde2 is not installed in /opt/vde2 then change your paths accordingly): export CCFLAGS="-I/opt/vde2/include" export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/vde2/lib" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/vde2/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" With the above, ./configure --enable-vde works (for me). I'm posting this here, rather than on a kvm list, because this is rather CentOS 5 specific, IMHO. Anyways, if you reply to this, please be sure to add a CC: to my email address. While I am subscribed to this list, your email might get buried by the list traffic. Thanks.

cant login remotely proftpd
by Tim Dunphy 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hello list! Well I have delved back into my proftpd config in the hopes of resolving my issues and having a working server. :) I believe I have the passive mode issue that I was expereriencing last time mostly worked out. But there are still a couple of things going on with this config that I was hoping to run by you in hopes of finding a solution. If I execute an ftp session on localhost from the ftp server itself, I can log in and the ftp client does not complain when I try to list a directory. [root@VIRTCENT29:~] #/usr/bin/ftp localhost Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1). 220 FTP Server ready. Name (localhost:root): bluethundr 331 Password required for bluethundr Password: 230 User bluethundr logged in Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,183,201). 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list 226 Transfer complete ftp> quit 221 Goodbye. However if I log into the external address of the FTP server the login fails. Name (snjh.net:root): bluethundr 331 Password required for bluethundr Password: 530 Login incorrect. Login failed. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> quit 221 Goodbye. There is no activity in the logs when I log in remotely. I dont believe it to be a firewall issue because iptables on the local ftp server has been disabled by stopping the service and the router has been configured to open port 21 and the passive ports I have selected (60000-65535). I have verified that port 21 is open with nmap: [root@VIRTCENT29:~] #nmap -p 21 snjh.net Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2011-08-22 20:39 EDT Interesting ports on pool-71-187-203-194.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net (71.187.203.194): PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.371 seconds And it looks like the system is prompting for a password, but authentication fails. But why it only fails when I attempt this remotely and it works when I do this locally is a bit puzzling. And if I mount an NFS directory login fails on localhost too: [root@VIRTCENT29:~] #mount nas2:/mnt/home /home [root@VIRTCENT29:~] #/usr/bin/ftp localhost Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1). 220 FTP Server ready.

Mount --bind source / mountpoint out of sync
by Trey Dockendorf 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

I have a shared web server that users can SSH / SFTP into to access their web content. Each users home directory is in a change root, and I use "mount -o bind" to put their respective webpage's document root into their home directory. Recently I was made aware that the contents of the mount's source are not the same as the mount point's, which I don't see how that is possible. The file system is 3 virtual disks...each part of the same volume group. I have three LVMs, "/" , "/chroot" , and "/var". Here's the entry in /etc/fstab... /var/www/example.com /chroot/home/user1/example.com none defaults,bind 0 0 The mount is active, yet running a recursive diff between "/var/www/ example.com" and "/chroot/home/user1/example.com" shows numerous differences. Here's "mount" output ------------------ /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lv_chroot on /chroot type ext3 (rw) /var/www/example.com on /chroot/home/user1/example.com type none (rw,bind) /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lv_var on /var type ext3 (rw) I honestly have no idea how this is possible. Is using "mount -o bind" not the best method to give a chrooted user access to a single directory outside the chroot? Would it be better to leave the web root in the chroot and have Apache (outside chroot) reference that location? Thanks - Trey
