Postfix will not start due to permission errors on CentOS 6.2 x86
by Gilbert Sebenste 17 May '12

17 May '12

Hello everyone, I cannot get the Postfix service to start on my pristine copy of CentOS 6.2 (installed straight from a DVD, and 6.2 directly, not 6.0 with upgrades...not thatit should matter). Anyway, I copied over /var/spool/mail to this system by using tar, as well as /etc/services and /etc/passwd, etc. Now, it doesn't want to start. I get permission errors like: postfix/master: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/pickup pid 2006 exit 1 postfix/master:warning /usr/libexec/postfix/pickup: bad command startup -- throttling postfix/pickup: fatal: scan_dir_push: open directory maildrop: permission denied warning: the postfix sendmail command has set-uid root file permissions warning: or the command is run from a set-uid root process warning: the Postfix sendmail command must be installed without set-uid root file permissions Now, I Googled these errors, and didn't see any good specific help for CentOS. So, I did a yum erase postfix, which also erased dependencies. After I did that, I erased the /etc/postfix directory. I then reinstalled postfix with all the dependencies...and got the same errors. Then I googled the CentOS mailing list for help...nothing that applied to me turned up that I saw. I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas what the issue could be?

OT: Rewrite part of a message with rsyslog
by C. L. Martinez 17 May '12

17 May '12

Hi all, Sorry for the off-topic, but I have not found how to do this. I have installed a centos6 server to act as a syslog receiver. I need to rewrite all messages that comes from one server. For example a part of the message is: "27April2012 10:33:44 172.1.2.2 data >". Sometimes between 27April2012 and 10:33:44 comes with one white space, sometimes with two, etc. I need to normalize this log to use only one white space between all fileds until ">" character. Somebody knows how can I do this??

Problem building latest Courier-authlib on CentOS4
by Bowie Bailey 17 May '12

17 May '12

Upgrading to CentOS6 is on my list, but I'm trying to get the latest Courier-MTA running at the moment. I downloaded the current courier tarballs and tried to build the rpms on a CentOS4 system. I got these errors: $ rpmbuild -tb courier-authlib-0.64.0.tar.bz2 ... libtool: link: ar cru .libs/libauthpipe.a authpipe.o authpipelib.o libtool: link: ranlib .libs/libauthpipe.a libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "libauthpipe.la" && ln -s "../libauthpipe.la" "libauthpipe.la" ) libtool: link: gcc -I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/include -O2 -g -pipe -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -Wall -I.. -I./.. -o authdaemontest authdaemontest.o ./.libs/libcourierauthcommon.a /home/bowieb/rpm/BUILD/courier-authlib-0.64.0/.libs/libcourierauth.a -ldl libtool: link: cannot find the library `libltdl/libltdlc.la' or unhandled argument `libltdl/libltdlc.la' make[2]: *** [authdaemondprog] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... libtool: link: gcc -I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/include -O2 -g -pipe -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -Wall -I.. -I./.. -o .libs/authpasswd authpasswd.o ./.libs/libcourierauthcommon.so /home/bowieb/rpm/BUILD/courier-authlib-0.64.0/.libs/libcourierauth.so libhmac/.libs/libhmac.a md5/.libs/libmd5.a sha1/.libs/libsha1.a rfc822/.libs/libencode.a -ldl -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib/courier-authlib make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93944 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93944 (%build) I asked on the Courier list and Sam said that my libtool is too old. He suggested adding an "autoreconf" line to the spec file, but that just generated an error that my Autoconf is too old. Can someone give me a pointer as to how to fix this? Thanks -- Bowie

mysql secure installation and multi mysqld
by Bob Hoffman 17 May '12

17 May '12

If you adjust the my.cnf file to make separate instances of mysql..... How would you go through the mysql secure installation? Is is possible or must it all be done manually for each one? is it possible to make each one of those instances a replicate/slave of a different master (thus a backup mysql server in a way?) working on this now, but having issues getting it to work.

Notes on booting CentOS 6 natively on GPT with an EFI bootloader such as Chameleon without BIOS GPT/EFI support.
by Lamar Owen 16 May '12

16 May '12

Ok, did some experiments. Here's the scoop. You will need a live USB key of CentOS 6 with a persistence layer (overlay) and the EPEL gdisk package installed to make this thing boot. On a system with Chameleon already installed, boot the CentOS 6 install media. Installing Chameleon without OSX is an adventure that I've not done, so a 'testing' OSX install (10.6) with the Chameleon bootloader installed was used; once Chameleon is in the EFI boot partition in theory you can blow away the HFS+ OSX filesystem, but I've not tried it. This involves partitioning the disk as GPT, and there are numerous howtos out there for many motherboards and laptops; the key is to get Chameleon in the MBR and the EFI boot partition properly created, set up with a protective MBR, and populated. Install to the free space on the system, using a /boot of about 500MB, swap space to taste, and other filesystems as you like. When the install prompts for bootloader installation location, you DO NOT want to install to the MBR (Chameleon is there); rather, install it to the /boot partition (on my test system this was /dev/sda3). Finish the installation. It won't yet be bootable. Now, boot your liveUSB stick. When you get your desktop, pull up a terminal and become root. At the root prompt, invoke gdisk just like you would fdisk, making sure to get the right disk device and partition. The command set for gdisk is virtually identical to fdisk. Use 'p' to list the partitions; you'll see your /boot as a partition type of 'EF00' as set by parted in the installer. You want to change that partition type to '0700' instead. The bootable partition must remain the small EFI boot partition of type EF00. You can name the partitions with the 'c' command; I encourage this. Use the 'w' to write out the GPT when done, and shut down. Remove the CentOS 6 liveUSB and reboot. Chameleon should automatically pick up the 'Linux' system in its bootsplash. Now, it may be possible to get parted to make the /boot partition to be type 0700 instead of EF00; didn't try that, since I know gdisk will do it correctly. As I was using a Dell Inspiron 640m, I used a Chameleon boot CD for a Dell Latitude D620 to good effect; you can find that on insanelymac.com. That particular Chameleon install includes a Dell logo and such, and may be some different from your particular Chameleon install. I have not tried this with a drive larger than 2TB; google for 'Chameleon bootloader EFI 2TB' to see the progress in this area. In theory this would allow a BIOS booting machine to boot directly on a 2TB+ drive using GPT without having EFI or variant in the BIOS. Once I get a single drive large than 2TB, or free up a machine with an FC connection and a > 2TB LUN attached to it, I'll try that out, and attempt to do a Chameleon installation without the OSX step in between. -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 http://www.pari.edu

ldirectord package on centos 6
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 16 May '12

16 May '12

Hi, I'm looking for the ldirectord package but can't find it. Previously this was available as "heartbeat-ldirectord" and nowadays it is built as an independent package from "resource-agents" however neither seems to be available either in core centos 6 or epel. Where did it go? Regards, Dennis

OSS DSP sound card input on CentOS 6.2?
by Gilbert Sebenste 16 May '12

16 May '12

Hello everyone, I'm streaming audio on CentOS 5.8 with no problem, even on a cheap sound card using DarkIce as the input tool. For the input under CentOS5, I use: device = /dev/dsp # OSS DSP soundcard device for the audio input But under CentOS 6.2, there is no such device. I see /dev/snd, and it has: controlC0 hwC0D2 midiC0D1 pcmC0D0p pcmC0D2p pcmC1D0p seq controlC1 hwC1D0 midiC0D2 pcmC0D1c pcmC0D3p pcmC1D1p timer hwC0D0 midiC0D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D2c pcmC1D0c pcmC1D2c But nothing that looks OSS-ish to me. Any ideas as to what I need to point at, and why? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
