Tomcat Linux/Windows Performance Question
by Ashkan Rahmani 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

Hi, Now I have a windows 2008 server and a Tomcat 6.x on it. Our application has many many parts and it's very big. Actually we are not happy with tomcat performance, (We are working very hard on developing that software and improving performance) . We want to improve application performance (working on it now) and tomcat (by tuning and we are doing now) and finally OS, for this we want to remove (damn) windows and come back to centos. Is here anyone have some experience with tomcat on windows and Linux? which has better performance? -- Best Regards, Ashkan R

SSSD configuration
by Tomas Brandysky 27 Oct '12

27 Oct '12

Hello, we're upgrading from Centos 5.8 to Centos 6.3 and have realized few things have changed in the system. We're using LDAP authentication (nss_ldap package) on our Centos 5.8 servers and have different PAM ldap configuration files configured to be used for specific PAM services. Here is the example of our setup: /etc/pam.d/service1: auth sufficient pam_ldap.so config=/etc/ldap_service1.conf /etc/pam.d/service2: auth sufficient pam_ldap.so config=/etc/ldap_service2.conf Thus we can use specific LDAP filters for various different services as not all users having access to one service also have access to other services on the same server. Now we're facing the problem to manage the same functionality with System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) which was newly presented with RHEL 6. We didn't find out so far how to specify custom sssd configuration file (or specific part of the configuration section/domain) in PAM service configuration. According to documentation only these options can be specified when using pam_sss module: [forward_pass] [use_first_pass] [use_authtok]. None of them can be used to make a difference in a ldap filter to be used. Is there a way how to configure specific search filters depending on PAM service ? Thank you for any suggestion Regards Tomas Brandysky

CentOS6 LDAP Authentication.
by Ezequiel Larrarte 27 Oct '12

27 Oct '12

Hi! I can make ldap authentication to work using LDAPS in CentOS 6. On CentOS 5, I just simply set tls_cheekpeer no to /etc/ldap.conf and it works! I tried all /etc/nslcd.conf /etc/pam_ldap.conf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf It 's really confusing on CentOS 6. Why so many files???? CentOS 5 LDAPTLS_REQCERT=never ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://xxxx (works!) CentOS 6 LDAPTLS_REQCERT=never ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://xxxx (Can 't connect to LDAP Server ...) I 've been reading that there is a bug but I 'm not understanding if there is a workaround for this ... Any ideas???? -- --------------------------------------------------------- Ezequiel Larrarte.

Permission "nfsnobody" and mounting an nfs share in a datacenter
by Jobst Schmalenbach 27 Oct '12

27 Oct '12

Hi A datacenter I use provides mountable nfs shares that are provided through a subnet, the only person having access to the nfs share is me. If I do this: mount -t nfs 192.168.53.21:/USERNAME /mnt/share/ then I get the share: [root@hostname /mnt/share] #>ls -la total 12 drwxrwxrwx 2 nfsnobody nfsnobody 4096 Oct 9 18:04 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Oct 9 17:55 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 nfsnobody nfsnobody 0 Oct 9 18:01 test I want to use this as a snapshot backup drive, so I need to have the permission on the backup the same as on the source, e.g. rsync -avH /bin /mnt/share Off course this fails: rsync: chown "/mnt/share/bin/.zcat.WDISFU" failed: Operation not permitted (1) How can I make this possible?

Assign external esata drive to KVM
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 27 Oct '12

27 Oct '12

Hello Everyone, I have a CentOS 6.3 host running a few KVMs. One of them is a CentOS 6.3 KVM that I want to use for making backups with BackupPC. What I'm having a problem with is assigning the KVM an external drive. I used to run BackupPC on an Ubuntu box. The backups went to an external eSATA 1.5TB, ext4 format, single partition drive (regular 3.5" in an enclosure). I want to now attach that same external drive to my KVM host, and pass it up to the KVM running BackupPC. I added the entire drive as a second storage disk to the KVM. I used the disk's label (/dev/disk/by-label/backups) so that I wouldn't have to worry about the device name changing down the road. When I booted up the KVM and listed the disks, I only saw "/dev/vdb". I was also expecting to see "/dev/vdb1". I ran fdisk on it only to see the partition table wasn't detected. The drive itself is OK - I can mount it successfully on the KVM host. Here's the fdisk output: Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xd6912a1b. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to sectors (command 'u'). Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/vdb: 1500.3 GB, 1500300861440 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2907018 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xd6912a1b Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Command (m for help): quit So...how do I properly assign this eSATA disk to the KVM? FYI: the enclosure can use USB as well. Thanks, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 3.5.4-2.fc17.x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 12:20:20 up 12 days, 37 min, 3 users, load average: 0.09, 0.09, 0.12

elrepo kernel on CentOS 5.8
by Jerry Geis 27 Oct '12

27 Oct '12

I have installed kernel-ml-2.6.39-4.2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm on a computer. and also kernel-ml-devel-2.6.39-4.2.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm with base CentOS 5.8 i686 I also installed kmod-alsa-1.0.25-3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm All "seems" fine - sound even works - in the fact that I hear it. However, when using alsamixer it appears that I can move the volume up/down and even hit MUTE but it has no affect. Hitting MUTE I still get sound out. Moving the volume up/down has no effect. What else might I be needing to have "control" of the volume? Thanks, Jerry

Personally, for systems on dynamic IPs that I need to be able to log into, I have cronjobs that just hit a specific web page on one of my domains and a simple script records the IP.

Completely automatic yum updating on Centos 6
by Frank Cox 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

I am about to set up a computer with Centos 6 that I'll probably never see again. I don't want to give out the root password, but I would like to have it automatically and transparently update itself. What is the best way to do this? I have been looking at webpages about yum-cron and yum-updatesd but nothing directly addresses Centos 6 and it appears that at least one of those two methods is now obsolete. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com www.creekfm.com - FIFTY THOUSAND WATTS of POW WOW POWER!
