find errors in a directory of files
by Tim Dunphy 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

hello list, I'm trying to write a script that will search through a directory of trace logs for an oracle database. From what I understand new files are always being created in the directory and it's not possible to know the exact names of the files before they are created. The purpose of this is to create service checks in nagios. Because you don't know the names of the files ahead of time traditional plugins like check_logs or check_logfiles.plwon't work. Here's what I was able to come up with: #!/bin/bash log1='/u01/app/oracle/admin/ecom/udump/*' crit1=($(grep 'ORA-00600' $log1)) crit2=($(grep 'ORA-04031' $log1)) crit3=($(grep 'ORA-07445' $log1)) if [ $crit1 ] ; then echo "$crit1 on ecom1" status=2 elif [ $crit2 ]; then echo "$crit2 on ecom1" status=2 elif [ $crit3 ]; then echo "$crit3 on ecom1" status=2 fi echo $status exit $status This is a very early version of the scripts, so as you can see I'm echoing a test message at the end letting you know the exit status. The problem with this script is that it is only able to detect one error in the logs. If you echo more than one test phrase into a log file or into multiple log files it still only picks up one error message. I was just wondering if anyone on the list might have a suggestion on how best to accomplish this task? Thanks Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

SSL Library Error: -8181 Certificate has expired
by Rob Kampen 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi List Just had one of my servers fail serving web pages and apache produced a log file of nearly 1,000,000 lines and 130Mb in about 18 hours with the following: "SSL Library Error: -8181 Certificate has expired Unable to verify certificate 'Server-Cert'. Add "NSSEnforceValidCerts off" to nss.conf so the server can start until the problem can be resolved." repeated any where from 4 to 20 times per second until I stopped the server. Anyone know why this kind of thing occurs - surely logging this once is enough?? If it is such a critical thing, then why no warning in the log files that it is about to expire?? - all in all a bit of a surprise. The suggested remedy does work and I will get a new certificate issued and installed in due course. Google does not show me anything that helps in regards to my questions. Has anyone else seen and solved this in an elegant manner? TIA Rob

bonding and ifcfg config
by Götz Reinicke 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi, I'd like to bond two existing interfaces and checked the RH EL 6.3 [1] doc. Comparing the current settings of e.g. eth0 to the example config in the docs I wonder what options I still have to use/copy and which I can drop. e.g. what should happen to my RH 6.3 eth0 settings not in the docs? DNS1="............" GATEWAY="........." HWADDR=".........." NM_CONTROLLED="..." TYPE="............" UUID="............" Thanks for any suggestion and best regards .

Configure LAGG Interface?
by Tim Nelson 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Greetings- I'd like to configure multiple copper NICs on a server running CentOS 6.2 in a LAGG configuration for better throughput to the core switch. After quite a bit of searching, I'm not seeing anything of the sort. Is LAGG specific to the BSD world and the HP switches I'm running? Or, does it go by a different name? Bonding perhaps? If so, is bonding compatible with LAGG? --Tim

Urgent help on replacing /var
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

In a moment of epic stupidity, having ran out of space on the root partition of a server due to /var chewing up the space, I added a separate drive for the purpose of mounting it as /var To do so, I mounted the new drive as /var2, cp -R (in hindsight should had rsync to preserve attributes), deleted the original /var to free up space, edited fstab and rebooted... unsurprisingly to a fubar'd server. The thing is it still boots, I can get into single user mode but a full init get stuck at starting the syslogger. What is the best way to rescue the server now from my own stupidity and keeping all the existing configuration and data?

samba3x PDC and Win XP
by Paul R. Ganci 04 Aug '12

04 Aug '12

I am at my wits end on this one. Ever since I upgraded to samba3x (present version 3.5.10-0.110.el5_8) in preparation for adding a Win 7 client, my WinXP client can no longer find their roaming profiles nor can they assign their home shares to a drive at login. Logins and authentication work just fine and I can see the home and profile shares from the Win XP client after login. My smb.conf file contains (here are some essential snippets): # the login script name depends on the machine name ; logon script = %m.bat # the login script name depends on the unix user used ; logon script = %u.bat logon script = logon.bat # disables profiles support by specifing an empty path ; logon path = logon path = \\%L\profile\%u\%m logon home = \\%L\%u logon drive = H: [homes] path = /mnt/home/%u comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S guest ok = no inherit permissions = yes [profile] path = /mnt/home/profile browseable = no writeable = yes default case = lower preserve case = no short preserve case = no case sensitive = no hide files = /desktop.ini/ntuser.ini/NTUSER.*/ write list = @smbusers @smbadmins create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 csc policy = disable profile acls = yes I enabled debuging and from what I can tell the %u variable is not getting properly evaluated. For example for the homes share: [2012/08/01 00:28:19.471215, 3] smbd/password.c:282(register_existing_vuid) register_existing_vuid: User name: snichols Real name: [2012/08/01 00:28:19.471240, 3] smbd/password.c:292(register_existing_vuid) register_existing_vuid: UNIX uid 501 is UNIX user snichols, and will be vuid 102 [2012/08/01 00:28:19.472336, 3] smbd/password.c:223(register_homes_share) Adding homes service for user 'snichols' using home directory: '/mnt/home/snichols' [2012/08/01 00:28:19.472475, 3] param/loadparm.c:6287(lp_add_home) adding home's share [snichols] for user 'snichols' at '/mnt/home/%u' Or for the profile service: 2012/08/01 00:28:19.488457, 1] smbd/service.c:1070(make_connection_snum) sasha (192.168.1.13) connect to service profile initially as user snichols (uid=501, gid=501) (pid 25876 2012/08/01 00:28:19.489251, 3] smbd/trans2.c:5100(call_trans2qfilepathinfo) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: TRANSACT2_QPATHINFO: level = 1004 [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489364, 3] smbd/filename.c:945(get_real_filename_full_scan) scan dir didn't open dir [%u] [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489399, 3] smbd/vfs.c:881(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name [%u/sasha] [/mnt/home/profile] [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489437, 3] smbd/vfs.c:962(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name: couldn't get realpath for %u/sasha [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489463, 3] smbd/filename.c:1184(filename_convert) filename_convert: check_name failed for name %u/sasha with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [2012/08/01 00:28:19.489495, 3] smbd/error.c:80(error_packet_set) error packet at smbd/trans2.c(5129) cmd=50 (SMBtrans2) NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED The samba/linux user that successfully logged in is snichols. Does anybody have a clue as to why %u is not evaluating to the linux username snichols and is getting treated simply as the string %u? I am sure it is something to stupid, but damn if I can see it. -- Paul (ganci(a)nurdog.com)
