Re: [CentOS] Upgrade to 5.8 broke sshd on IPv4
by Maarten van Ingen 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Hi, I have seen this very same issue. We had the the option ListenAddress set to :: and this worked until now. We specifically had to add the option ListenAdress 0.0.0.0 to make it work again on ipv4. It must be something CentOS specific since I couldn't find any reference (in my 2 second google search) other than this issue reported on the centOS mailing list. Cheers, Maarten

perl-DBD-MySQL, libmysqlclient.16 and 5.7 (FInal)
by Ilya Kazakevich 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Hello, I have server CentOS 5.7. It has mysql-community installed. I need to run perl-based tool (mysqlreport) and it requires perl-DBD-MySQL (not a surprise) When I am trying to install perl-DBD-MySQL via yum -- it says it requires libmysqlclient.*15 *and it conflicts with libmysqlclient.*16 *which was installed as a part of mysql-community. I tried to make symbolic link and force DBD to work with 16. But it failed with error. Looks like libmysqlclient provides it version or has different API (which is strange for me) The only one idea I have is to fetch libmysqlclient.15 from some packet and put it to my LD folder directly. But what has happened? Where is DBD for new version (16)? What is the best ("official") way to solve it? Thanks.

6.2 kernel issues - followup

As in going from > between .5 and 1 hr, to 5.5 to 9 hours. Well, I was googling on performance tuning NFS, and found <http://www.softpanorama.org/Net/Application_layer/NFS/nfs_performance_tunin…>, where the author notes "One issue with migrating to NFSv4 is that all of the filesystems you export have to be located under a single top-level exported directory. This means you have to change your /etc/exports file and also use Linux bind mounts to mount the filesystems you wish to export under your single top-level NFSv4 exported directory." I makes a *real* difference. I tested it, on one 6.2 server, mounting a foo directory I created in the usual 3 levels deep, and another, /tmp/foo1, and doing my same unpack ran at 2/3rds the time. Not good - 6.5 min vs. 1+min for 5.7 & NFS3, but better. This alone suggests we need to go back to NFS 3 - it would be a Big Deal to relocate everyone's home directory. Doing a yum list \*nfs\* shows something called sblim-cmpi-nfsv3.x86_64. >From the info, I can't tell if I can just drop it in and run that, or if I'd have to yum remove nfs-utils & nfs-utils-lib. Anyone have a clue? mark

Cron marks mailto value as UNSAFE
by James B. Byrne 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

CentOS-6.2 We moved a cron job from a CentOS-5.7 host to a CentOS-6.2 host. The MAILTO variable is set to support(a)harte-lyne.ca in both instances. On the CentOS-6 host instead of receiving the mail with the output we see this in /var/log/cron instead: Mar 12 14:49:01 inet09 CROND[6639]: (cron theheart) UNSAFE (support(a)harte-lyne.ca ) The CentOS-5 host uses Sendmail as the MTA, the CentOS-6 uses Postfix. We can send mail to support(a)harte-lyne.ca from the command line on both hosts. The permissions of the files in /var/spool/cron are: # ll /var/spool/cron total 12 -rw-------. 1 root root 34 Mar 9 16:41 root -rw-------. 1 root root 4245 Mar 12 14:53 theheart Selinux is set to Permissive (for the time being): # sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: permissive Mode from config file: permissive Policy version: 24 Policy from config file: targeted What is causing cron to complain.

yum list installed - 3rd column
by Tilman Schmidt 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

On most of the CentOS 5 machines I manage, if I run "yum list installed" the third column just says "installed" for all packages. But on one machine, some lines show instead a repo name preceded by an @ sign. Apparently the repo from which the package was installed, which would be immensely useful. Two questions: 1. Can I have that feature on the other CentOS 5 machines too? The machine in question has yum version 3.2.27-12.el5_from_el6 while all others have version 3.2.22-39.el5.centos. Where did that "el5_from_el6" version come from? The "yum list" entry for yum itself does unfortunately not show a repo name. 2. Can anything be done about the lines still saying only "installed"? How do find out where those packages came from? aTdHvAaNnKcSe Tilman -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany

Hi, Can someone give me some pointer or links to understand how Filelocking and rquotad works on NFS ? I searched a lot on google , didn't get any good articles on that. -- Regards Basil

Upgrade to 5.8 broke sshd on IPv4
by Mike McCarthy 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

I have a virtual machine on linode.com that runs dual stack IPv4 and IPv6. On Sunday I upgraded to Centos 5.8 and now I cannot connect with ssh on IPv4. I get a 'connection refused' because there is no listener on the ssh port for IPv4. It appears to work just fine for IPv6, but I cannot access remotely when I am on an IPv4 only network. It appears that only sshd is affected. All other services seem to work on both v4 and v6. I have it listening on a non-standard port other than 22. I am going to try and have it listen on the standard port to see if that works. Anyone else seen this? Any recommendations on tracking this down? Thanks, Mike

6.2 kernel issues
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

A couple weeks ago, after we moved a user's home directory from a 5.7 box to 6.2, he came to complain about slowness. Unpack file from NFS-mounted directory to local disk, like /tmp, everything's normal. cd to the NFS-mounted directory, and unpack it there, and it was six to seven times slower. We repeated this a number of times, on a number of machines. At first, we thought it was an NFSv4 issue, and I filed a bug with RedHat about it. Then we did more testing; it seems to occur with 6.2; it's going to happen if that's got ext4. However, my manager saw something else, just today: he noticed one of our nightly backup servers was taking much, much longer to complete the rsync and delete. Then he saw that I'd updated that backup server to 6.2, and after the backups started running again (probably missing modules), they were taking a lot longer... about 6-7 times longer. As in going from between .5 and 1 hr, to 5.5 to 9 hours. Anyone else seeing this behavior? mark
