Setting up new spacewalk server
by Eckert, Doug 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

We have a DHCP/PXE server in a build environment, which is separate from our Spacewalk v1.5 server. We direct builds to Satellite or Spacewalk based as needed. It contains initrd & vmlinuz files for each version/arch we currently deploy for both RHEL & CEL. I'd like to keep the storage footprint to a minimum, if possible. Keeping a big directory of ISOs to loop-mount for kickstart profile distributions seems excessive, especially when DVD#1 exceeds 4GB now. Is there any way around this requirement for kickstarting?

Help with routing question.
by James B. Byrne 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

CentOS-6.6 We have a host that has multiple IPv4 addresses aliased to eth0. The primary address is 216.185.71.x and the alias is 192.168.6.x. This host connects to devices on both netblocks without problems. Only default routing is used and it looks like this: #ip route 192.168.6.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.6.x 216.185.71.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 216.185.71.x 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1002 default via 192.168.6.1 dev eth0 src 192.168.6.x default via 216.185.71.1 dev eth0 When the system connects to internal systems via ssh it uses the src 216.185.71.x for devices on that netblock and 192.168.6.x for devices on the other. The problem is that when we try to establish an ssh connection off-site to another netblock altogether the host uses 192.168.6.x as the source and the destination gets the public side IP address of our gateway router as the point of origin due to masquerading. I have solved this by explicitly binding ssh to the public ipv4 when connecting using the --bind=216.185.71.x parameter. But I have two questions I would like to find answers for 1. Why is ssh using the private IP in preference to the public IP when connecting to off-site addresses? 2. How does one configure the routing table on network startup to specifically detail the route particular addresses are supposed to take? For diagnosis here are the ifcfg scripts used for both interfaces: DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO="static" BROADCAST="216.185.71.255" DNS1="216.185.71.33" GATEWAY="216.185.71.1" HWADDR="38:60:77:D5:AC:D8" IPADDR="216.185.71.x" IPV6INIT="yes" IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" NM_CONTROLLED="no" ONBOOT="yes" TYPE="Ethernet" UUID="0202e615-ce93-4fe1-833a-c11259afb850" DEVICE="eth0:192" BOOTPROTO="static" BROADCAST="192.168.6.255" GATEWAY="192.168.6.1" IPADDR="192.168.6.x" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" NM_CONTROLLED="no" ONPARENT="yes" TYPE="Ethernet" -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

debuginfo versioning tools?
by Les Mikesell 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Are there any tools to help assemble libraries and debuginfo to examine core dumps that happened on another host where the versions don't match? Something like mock but build-version specific and with the debuginfo packages pulled in? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

But, in case this might help, you can configure mock to use locally provided repos and different architectures via the --configdir parameter. You provide an architecture specific config file like epel-6-x86_64.cfg in the specified directory and alter it to require packages to suit a specific build requirement. One of mine looks like this: config_opts['root'] = 'epel-6-x86_64' config_opts['target_arch'] = 'x86_64' config_opts['legal_host_arches'] = ('x86_64',) config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'groupinstall buildsys-build' config_opts['dist'] = 'el6' # only useful for --resultdir variable subst config_opts['yum.conf'] = """ [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=1 reposdir=/dev/null logfile=/var/log/yum.log retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=0 assumeyes=1 syslog_ident=mock syslog_device= # repos [base] name=BaseOS enabled=1 mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os failovermethod=priority exclude=http* [updates] name=updates enabled=1 mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=updates failovermethod=priority exclude=http* [epel] name=epel mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-6&arch=x86… failovermethod=priority exclude=http* [testing] name=epel-testing enabled=0 mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=testing-epel6&a… failovermethod=priority [local] name=local baseurl=file:///home/byrnejb/mock/repos/x86_64/ cost=0 enabled=1 [koji] name=koji baseurl=http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/dist-6E-epel-build/latest/x… cost=2000 enabled=0 [epel-debug] name=epel-debug mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-debug-6&ar… failovermethod=priority enabled=0 """ and one calls it like this: mock --rebuild --root=epel-6-x86_64 --configdir=/home/byrnejb/mock /home/byrnejb/rpmbuild/SRPMS/httpd-2.4.9-1.el6.src.rpm -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Using a *supported* web cam under CentOS 5
by Robert Heller 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

OK, I plugged in a web cam device (something called a 'Zoomy' -- a web cam/microscope). It is recognized by the unc driver. Now what? Does there exist a program that can use this device? Or do I have to write one from scratch? I have been searching the web, but all of the links are about getting and installing *drivers*. I don't need a driver, I need a userland program. With Ubuntu 14.04, there is a program named Cheese, but I can't find a version that works with CentOS 5. And no, don't tell me to install Ubuntu 14.04! -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller(a)deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services
