Multicast routing daemon
by Ian Pilcher 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

Is there a multicast routing daemon included in CentOS or EPEL? (Seems like a weird question to even have to ask, but I can't seem to find one.) Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com Sent from the cloud -- where it's already tomorrow ========================================================================

Filesystem labeling confusion or mess up
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

Hi, I do have an iscsi storage with two raidsets. I'm logged in to the target and get two devices: /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. After formatting the devices with ext4 I realised, that I had used a wrong label, so I tried to relabel the devices. But now I'm confused: doing a e2label /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc returns always the same label name for both devices. so I did "e2label /dev/sdb students" and "e2label /dev/sdc staff" and now mounting the devices shows the same filesystem under sdb and sdc! Looks like sdc (an empty device) is gone... Any suggestions or explanations? Thanks and best regards .

Machine check events
by Glenn Eychaner 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

On my new Haswell-based machines, I am occasionally seeing entries like the following in /var/log/messages: kernel: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged (I would not have even noticed them, except that they get flagged by logwatch.) These messages always occur alone, and don't seem to have a corresponding entry in any other log file in /var/log. How can I get more info about these messages? Thanks, -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

Ultrabook for CentOS?
by Nux! 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hello, I need to buy an ultrabook. Any recommendations for something that would work out of the box more or less? I do not want a Chromebook (or anything ARM) or one of these new "touch" laptops, in fact I'm after a nice matte screen. Budget is modest-ish (£500/$800) so dont go crazy. :) Thanks! -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro

nss_ldap loop sleeping after ...
by aurfalien 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi, I rebooted a old Centos 5 box and now its stuck in an ever increasing timeout loop; nss_ldap: reconnecting tl LDAP server (sleeping # seconds).... This happens before network services starts. Any one know how I can break out of this? I tried booting in single user mode from the grub menu but no dice, the thing keeps nss_ldap looping. Thanks in advance, - aurf

LSB Certification
by Mark LaPierre 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hey All, Could someone provide a URL to a page that states what LSB level RHEL/CentOS 6.4 is certified to. I'm looking to download a driver: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-WorkForce_1100 They offer a driver for LSB 3.1 or LSB 3.2. I'm hoping that one of those applies to CentOS 6.4. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

Question on list of packages on centos 7
by Jerry Geis 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Is there a way to get a list of packages AND version of that package in centos/redhat 7? Perhaps from one a beta of 7 or something? I searched for "list of packages in redhat 7" and I can get a list but the list did not have any version information just the package name and description. Not off topic just "future" topic. Thanks, everyone have a great Thanksgiving! jerry

complicated svn, apache, krb5 and selinux problem
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

CentOS 6.4. We've got a subversion repo on a server. Currently, it's set to use krb5. Trouble is, the krb5.conf is set up to use pcscd authentication (using PIV cards). Whether anything else on the server needs it, it appears that when people issue certain svn commands (I haven't nailed down which), the thing tries to look at the pcscd.pid... and selinux complains that this is naughty. (We're in permissive mode.) I don't know deeply enough if anything else really needs to do this on the server, but I'd like to fix it so that doing svn stuff does *not* invoke that call. It *appears* if I comment out the pkinit_identities, we don't get the error (for obvious reasons). Ideally, I'd like to find some way to configure subversion - maybe in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf - so that it doesn't try that, but we *do* want it to do password krb5 authentication. Does this make sense? If so, is it do-able? mark, back at googling

Thanks for the CR packages!
by Paul Heinlein 27 Nov '13

Thank you, developers, for the continuous release packages. It's nice to get a head start on testing 6.5 for wider release. So far -- one VM, one dev server -- so good! -- Paul Heinlein heinlein(a)madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W

Where Did The Disk Go???
by Gene Poole 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

I'm running CentOS 5.9 x86_64 on a machine I built myself that has 6 SATA II hard drives (4 - 1 TB drives; 2 - 1.5 TB drives) all in several RAID-1 arrays. These arrays were created when I did the original installation with CentOS 5.1 and each created partition (both standard and LVM) were built raid 1. Due to some things happening around the house that required most of my attention, I saw some alerts concerning drive /dev/sdb but I didn't have time to address it and since I am running raid 1... One of the tings that happened was my home took a lightening strike and we were down for 4 days. When we got our electricity back and I brought the machine back up I noticed that there were only 5 drives listed and I wasn't getting any more alerts. What was /dev/sdb was no longer listed with any command (fdisk; cat /proc/mdstat; mdadm --list). I do have a spare drive and my questions are: Anyone know how I can find the serial number of the bad drive? Once replaced, what is the best way to get the partitions recreated? Thanks, Gene Poole
