Yum update to 5.7 unexpected results
by b.j. mcclure 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I have a couple machines running 5.6 fully updated from cr repo. When I did 'yum update' this morning it found 8 updates: centos-release-5-7.el5 centos-release-notes-5.7-0 ghostscript 8.70-6.el5_7.3 nspr 4.8.8-1.el5_7 nss 3.12.10-4.el5 nss-tools 3.12.10-4.el5 ntp-4.2.2p1-15.el5 initscripts-8.45.38-2.el5 However yum reported 404 on everything but ntp and initscripts. I installed ntp and initscripts individually and yum continued to report 404 on the rest of the updates on both machines. One machine i386, the other x86_64. I did a 'yum clean all' followed by 'yum update' and it installed centos-release and centos-release-notes but not nss, nss-tools, ghostscript or nspr updates. []# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.7 (Final) []# rpm -q nss nss-tools ghostscript nspr nss-3.12.8-4.el5_6 nss-tools-3.12.8-4.el5_6 ghostscript-8.70-6.el5 nspr-4.8.6-1.el5_5 Both machines had identical results and appear to be fully updated to 5.7 but with at least four packages not updated. I don't think this is an intended result. Any thoughts much appreciated. B.J. CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final)

Run commands automatically when bringing up/down network interfaces?
by Edward Morbius 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I'm looking for a capability similar to Debian/Ubuntu's pre/post up/down network commands capability. The problem: we've got a colo in which hosts talk directly to the hosting provider's router (through a bridging firewall) and hence our hosts MAC addresses are cached by the router. We should be able to solve this by pinging the router directly when bringing up the interface, rather than waiting (a day) for the router's ARP cache to expire. Yes, this means we're switching which hosts respond to a specific IP address, yes, we have to do this periodically. An alternative would be to remap the MAC address, though pinging the router seems cleaner, and the MAC remap would /still/ have to run when the interface is brought up/down. -- Dr. Ed Morbius Chief Scientist / Philologist / Robot Wrangler / Powerplant Operator Krell Power Systems Unlimited

TIP for broken ARIN whois
by Always Learning 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

This works for me on Centos 5.6. It may assist newcomers to the Linux world of Centos. whois 51.51.51.51 produces a normal and conventional display of data. However since ARIN, the North American registrar of IP addresses, "modernised" its WHOIS processing, a query to whois 64.64.64.64 will produce a one line summary of possible matches, which always includes ARIN, but omits the details we used to receive before ARIN implemented its much criticised "improved" service. A one line script solves it for me (but only for ARIN network entries). #!/bin/bash whois -h whois.arin.net n + $1 I call my script .arin .arin 64.64.64.64 produces a normal output. Paul.

Today's Topics: 1. Release for CentOS-5.7 i386 and x86_64 (Karanbir Singh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 00:33:50 +0100 From: Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-5.7 i386 and x86_64 To: CentOS Announcements List <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4E6FE85E.5080703(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.7 for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. CentOS-5.7 is based on the upstream release EL 5.7 and includes packages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The Release Notes for CentOS-5.7 can be found on-line at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.7 and everyone is encouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through are the CentOS FAQs at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ +++++++++++++++++++++++ Upgrading from CentOS-5.6 ( or CentOS-5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5): If you are already running CentOS-5.6 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all you need to do is update your machine via yum by running : 'yum update' Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so you can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To check you are indeed on CentOS-5.7, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and that should return: 'centos-release-5-7.el5.centos.1' If you are running CentOS-5.6 and have the CR repo enabled, a simple 'yum update' will still move your machine to 5.7. But since the CR repo already contained all the 5.7 updates, there will only be a handful of rpms that need to be installed for the 5.6 to 5.7 upgrade. If you are not running the CR repo, we highly encourage everyone to install and run this repository on their machines. More details on the CR repo can be found online at http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR +++++++++++++++++++++++ Downloading CentOS-5.7 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Not only does it help the community and keeps mirrors from running up high bandwidth bills, in most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over a hundred people seeding CentOS-5 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via these torrents. - -- Via BitTorrent : CD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/i386/CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-1to8.torr… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1to8.… DVD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/i386/CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-DVD.torre… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.t… md5sum's for these torrent files: 8e29e525f45c4a7b3a963cc01ec3459a CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-1to8.torrent 32c9e0826b50d6be44823523be403c7f CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent 795d6c11b5ef8907653360af52b9f317 CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-DVD.torrent 04c563f2c838bf6b255fcc5fcc18cf66 CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent sha1sum's for these torrent files: 8a945ba89b03328480fde20eaa0b638ceb7f4509 CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-1to8.torrent b1a18ba25e77543c4df9078dfafba990fbd58601 CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent d3c4ed0d14fe1873bbcee931224e5e8819f779dc CentOS-5.7-i386-bin-DVD.torrent 302850dd4f9a8198b303f872c83a5a16ec1c40c2 CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent While torrent files will do their own content checks, and only the right torrent will register and download from torrent.centos.org - its very important for your own security that an md5/sha1sum check is done on the .torrent file itself, and ensure that only the torrent.centos.org tracker is being used.

However direct downloads are available from external mirrors over http, ftp and rsync. A geoip based list is available at http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/ to give you the best predictable match ( and only lists mirrors that are updated already, so you don't need to waste time looking for a sync'd mirror ) Some mirrors also publish DVD images that can be downloaded directly.

Each now has the same number of CD images and the same number of DVD images. CD #8 on i386 contains no rpms, and is not needed for any install type. DVD #2 on both i386 and x86_64 only contain Openoffice langpacks for languages others than english. Therefore DVD#2 is only needed when doing a desktop install, with the openoffice components selected with other than English language support. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Sources and Debuginfo packages: srpms and debuginfo packages are still making their way to the CentOS mirrors and should be online by the 20th September. We are considering changing the way we handle sources and debuginfo rpms in order to better manage publishing them and to free up mirror space. For now there will be no change to the way things are running. Any change will be communicated clearly, and we will do our best to make sure it has as little user impact as possible. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Getting Help: The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism. Some Friendly URLs : http://www.centos.org/ http://wiki.centos.org/ http://lists.centos.org/ http://bugs.centos.org/ irc://#centos@irc.freenode.net +++++++++++++++++++++++ A big thanks to everyone who contributed towards this release, including the translation teams, the qa team, the artwork team, the CentOS Developers and all the users out there. And a special shout out to all the donors who have contributed machines, bandwidth and infrastructure towards the CentOS Project.

how to stop an in-progress fsck that runs at boot?
by Matt Garman 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I can't seem to find the answer to this question via web search... I changed some hardware on a server, and upon powering it back on, got the "/dev/xxx has gone 40 days without being check, check forced" message. Now it's running fsck on a huge (2 TB) ext3 filesystem (5400 RPM drives no less). How can I stop this in-progress check? Ctrl-C doesn't seem to have any effect. Is the only answer to wait it out? Also, as a side question: I always do this---let my servers run for a very long time, power down to change/upgrade hardware, then forget about the forced fsck, then pull my hair out waiting for it to finish (because I can't figure out how to stop it once it starts). I know about tune2fs -c and -i, and also the last (or is it second to last?) column in /etc/fstab. My question is more along the lines of "best practices"---what are most people doing with regards to regular fsck's of ext2/3/4 filesystems? Do you just take the defaults, and let it delay the boot process by however long it takes? Disable it completely? Or do something like taking the filesystem offline on a running system? Something else? Thanks, Matt

copying data to CF card
by Jerry Geis 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi all, under centos 5 x86_64 - I was able to run fdisk to partition a CF card, make the filesystem, copy data to the filesystem, run grub from an x86_64 system to make the CF card bootable with grub. That all worked fine. Now since switching to centos 6 x86_64 I run the exact same script to program the CF card and when I insert that CF card into the end device I get a Grub error 2. I thought maybe a bad CF card... I tried 4 more times with 4 different CF cards. Same result Grub error 2. I then thought to try going back to centos 5 and try it with one of the 4 CF cards that did not work. It works under centos 5. What might be happening here???? I can use fdisk after the script and see the partitions, I can mount the partition all files are there, Running grub gives no errors. Just at boot I get "error 2". Thanks, Jerry

Therefore | DVD#2 | is only needed when doing a desktop install, with the openoffice | components selected with other than English language support. | | +++++++++++++++++++++++ | Sources and Debuginfo packages: | | srpms and debuginfo packages are still making their way to the CentOS | mirrors and should be online by the 20th September. We are considering | changing the way we handle sources and debuginfo rpms in order to | better | manage publishing them and to free up mirror space.

Missing ipa-server package on centos6?
by Armin Herbert 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi, I can't seem to find the ipa-server package in centos 6; it is not available on my favourite mirrors, nor do the release notes mention its absence. Has it been overlooked when assembling the distribution? Thanks & best wishes Armin

No MySQL password in ps aux!
by Dotan Cohen 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

I just noticed that some CentOS 4 or 5 machine that I don't admin but have root access to hides MySQL passwords from ps: Console 1: $ mysql -u root -pSECRET mysql > Console2: # ps aux root 32165 0.0 0.1 109408 2204 pts/1 Ss+ 11:19 0:00 mysql -u root -px xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx That is really nice, is it a MySQL feature or a CentOS feature? I have some other servers that I _do_ admin and I'd like to enable this. Thanks! -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com
