I vaguely remember that modification of /etc/redhat-release was used to trick some third-party software that depends on the content of the file. yum also does an rpm lookup AFAIU , see distroverpkg in yum.conf(5) -- Kind Regards, Markus Falb

Upgrading from 5.7 to 5.8
by Keith Roberts 23 Jun '12

23 Jun '12

My box did upgrade itself automatically from the initial 5.5 DVD installation to 5.7 How can I tell if my box has been automatically upgraded from 5.7 to 5.8 please? I see the CentOS-CR.repo is still in my /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. Is that repo responsible for doing the automatic upgrades for Centos 5.x?

It is not on my Centos 6.2 system, and doing a little searching through repositories for that specifically, or e4fsprogs, and I can't find it anywhere to even try it. Any google reference seems to point back to resize2fs. I ended up booting a live SystemRescueCD and using GParted via the GUI. My notes indicate that is what I had done previously also. I am still stumped, everything that I have read indicates that resize2fs can do a live resizing on ext4 file systems. Can anybody confirm or deny this? Is the reason I can't do this because it is on an LVM logical volume? Thanks. Jeff Boyce Meridian Environmental

reinventing the wheel? page checker
by Bob Hoffman 23 Jun '12

23 Jun '12

Not sure if there is an app like this yet. I want to keep tabs on my web applications and thought of using a 'page checker'/ I was thinking either running a sum on the directory or each file...but thinking a simple date check would be fine. The idea is web application, except the uploads area for photos, never has changes to its files except when I change it. However, if it gets injected or hacked, I would want to know right away. So thinking of running a script every minute looking for files where the date changed since 'x' date or something like that. Anything out there like that? thanks

converting .doc to html
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 23 Jun '12

23 Jun '12

Anyone got a preferred program or package for this? I'd like a *good* one, and Word or OO.o's save as html in no way qualifies as other than amateur crap. So far, with a little googling, I've found the wv package. wvHtml works, but I don't like the output - it insists on <div>, and on &rhquo instead of plain, simple ". mark "what, ask for an opinion in this shy, diffident group?"

basic auth fails
by Tim Dunphy 23 Jun '12

23 Jun '12

Hello, I've setup apache basic auth on by web server to protect my nagios site. It's been working just fine, but suddenly it stopped accepting passwords even tho they are being typed in correctly. I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to troubleshoot this? I'm on a centos 5.4 machine Linux 2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen #1 SMP Fri Feb 15 12:34:28 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Server version: Apache/2.2.21 (Unix) Server built: Nov 14 2011 18:03:07 I don't see any indication in the logs as to why this may be happening, but it's possible I might not be looking for the right things. Thanks Tim gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

SATA errors in log
by Steve Brooks 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

Hi, I have a SATA PCIe 6Gbps 4 port controller card made by Startech. The kernel (Linux viz1 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64) sees it as Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 I use it to provide extra SATA ports to a raid system. The HD's are all "WD2003FYYS" and so run at 3Gbps on the 6Gbps controller. However I am seeing lots of instances of errors like this ----------------------------------------- Jun 22 03:13:23 viz1 kernel: ata13.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x4 SErr 0x400000 action 0x6 frozen Jun 22 03:13:23 viz1 kernel: ata13.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error Jun 22 03:13:23 viz1 kernel: ata13: SError: { Handshk } Jun 22 03:13:23 viz1 kernel: ata13.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED Jun 22 03:13:23 viz1 kernel: ata13.00: cmd 61/e8:10:98:05:1b/01:00:66:00:00/40 tag 2 ncq 249856 out Jun 22 03:13:23 viz1 kernel: ata13.00: status: { DRDY } Jun 22 03:13:23 viz1 kernel: ata13: hard resetting link Jun 22 03:13:24 viz1 kernel: ata13: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 330) Jun 22 03:13:24 viz1 kernel: ata13.00: configured for UDMA/133 Jun 22 03:13:24 viz1 kernel: ata13: EH complete --------------------------------------- Vendor ID : 1b4b Device ID : 9123 I tried to see what drivers were currently being used but the command below gave nothing grep -i 1b4b /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 9123 I have changed the card and cables but still get the same errors. I am wondering if the el6 kernel is using the correct drivers I checked "elrepo" against the "Vendor:Device ID pairing" and it also came up blank. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Regards, Steve
