Centos6 and samba and nmblookup
by david 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Folks I've installed Centos6 and Samba. I noticed that the program "nmblookup" and a few other Samba related programs, documented in the RHEL6 guide, are not included in Centos6. A search using YUM also did not find "nmblookup", using the repositories: base, centosplus, contrib, cr, epel, extras, updates, virtualbox Has its functionality been moved elsewhere, or should I try to find something wrong in my environment? Thanks David Kurn

bond of bonds
by Paras pradhan 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi, I am trying to use Link-aggregation with redundancy between switches that doesnot support SMLT in switches. I have 4 network ports. First two are connected to a switch and LACP/LAG is enabled. Third and Fourth ports connect to another switch with another LAG group. I was thinking create two mode 4 bonds and bond those bonds to mode 1 (Active/Passive) bond. But it seems this is not supported yet in kernel (?). How do you guys handle this kind of situation. (And yes without using SMLT between switches). Thanks Paras.

Redhat vs centos vs ubuntu
by Bob Hoffman 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

This is a continuation of the thread about redhat vs centos and the thought of moving from centos due to redhats new business model. Forgive the length, but I had to share. I went ahead and downloaded the 5 year supported version of ubuntu server. You think centos/redhat is a bit tough or not polished? One day with ubuntu server and you will look at centos install and setup as a god! Where do I begin? 1- you download the iso, burn a cd. But guess what? It is only a small boot setup (about 600mb). The install actually sets up your eth port and then SLOWLY downloads a base set of packages. Then when you are done with your drive set up, you get to pick a package. Then it downloads and installs, asking you a few questions as it does. Then it upgrades itself. About 40 minutes due to the downloads for me... 2- uses a really lame 1980 DOS version of a text installer. It does not and will not use a basic vid driver install which means your setting up of lvms and such during the install is really fun. 3- I don't know about having a server being forced to connect to the internet before you can even begin to secure it up. But the only way to really install it is to do that. Wait til you see the insecure firewall setup if gave me too.. 4- I picked the virtual host package, as the machine will hold guest OS's (presumably ubuntu). 5- booted up fine. 6- uses upstart and init, mixed up a bit. Upstart, BY DESIGN AND ACCORDING TO DOCUMENTATION is new and still being built so they do not want to put any documentation out on it yet. This makes chkconfig and things like that useless. Hence, if you want to know what is running, set to run, etc, you need to dig in multiple folders and read the scripts. There is no other way. What a horror. 7- The install, of the virtual host, added libvirt. It did not however install things like virt-install or any other virt software. Infact, no guest installation tools were added, though things like virsh were installed. Sigh. 8- The firewall and network do not have the scripts folder. You have to build your own firewall file and add scripts to make it over ride the stock one via the eth you want to use it for....wtf? 9- here is the firewall, for a virtual host, that should not have anything but port 22 open as far as the initial install should (at least in my opinion).....Ubuntu starts with this.... (remember, ubuntu forces you to be online to install and this is how it protects your server) I was not blocked on a single port going from my desktop to my server via my router. ALL PORTS were accessible. This is out of the box. Shell 22 was open from all my computers. Not listed in the firewall as open. You can see it is quite different than the centos stock and I think ubuntu is a 'run away' install. There is no bridge set up in the network interface files either. There is no bridge set up. The firewall is looking at virbr0 but there is no such configuration I could find in the etc folder, anywhere. Very odd. # Generated by iptables-save v1.4.4 on Mon Nov 7 23:35:47 2011 *nat :PREROUTING ACCEPT [84:12492] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [9:626] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [9:626] -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.122.0/24 ! -d 192.168.122.0/24 -p tcp -j MASQUERADE --to-ports 1024-65535 -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.122.0/24 ! -d 192.168.122.0/24 -p udp -j MASQUERADE --to-ports 1024-65535 -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.122.0/24 ! -d 192.168.122.0/24 -j MASQUERADE COMMIT # Completed on Mon Nov 7 23:35:47 2011 # Generated by iptables-save v1.4.4 on Mon Nov 7 23:35:47 2011 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [3701:295955] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [793:1276008] -A INPUT -i virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i virbr0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i virbr0 -p udp -m udp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i virbr0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -d 192.168.122.0/24 -o virbr0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s 192.168.122.0/24 -i virbr0 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i virbr0 -o virbr0 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -o virbr0 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable -A FORWARD -i virbr0 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable COMMIT # Completed on Mon Nov 7 23:35:47 2011 In closing, it is down to suse or back to centos and just pray redhat turns around. Maybe scientific linux. Ubuntu is not ready for prime time and a HUGE step backwards. It is not cutting edge and very insecure. So maybe centos, even if a year or two behind, is way better than ubuntu will ever be. I took a shot at paid support. You have to send them a contact mail. I did. After 3 days sent them another. 2 days later, no response from that one either. down to suse or back to centos. One good thing about ubuntu was the bug redhat has for the ati onboard video is not an issue making no errors on boot and no long hang time that centos was causing me.

CentOS versus Scientific
by Alan McKay 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hey folks, I was just reminded of the Scientific distro, which on the surface appears to be quite similar to CentOS even when the developers over there are rather coy about which Enterprise Linux distro they base theirs on. I wonder if anyone here has done a comparison of the two that they'd care to share. I work in a Scientific Research Lab (Stem Cell Research) and am wondering if there is anything about the Scientific disto that might be better suited to our needs, even if it is only the fact that it is put together by people who work in similar environments and would therefore understand our needs better. I'm just starting to read up on it to see what I think and thought I would ask what others think. One thing I will have to look into of course is what kind of support there is - this list is absolutely fantastic for CentOS and that alone is worth a lot. cheers, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

Misterious hang
by Fajar Priyanto 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi all, Recently one my Centos 5.7 VM just crashes at least once a day randomly (hang). In /var/log/messages there is nothing at all that there is problem (no error, no failure). The log just stops. The only change I did before this crashes is I activated LDAP authentication, and also auditd. But I don't see any evidence relating to it. Any clue where to look for the cause? Thank you. Fajar

fdisk on centos 6
by Jerry Geis 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

I am getting the WRONG values reported from fdisk on centos 6. This is listing an 8G CF card on /dev/sde Disk /dev/sde: 8019 MB, 8019099648 bytes 247 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders Units = cylinders of 15314 * 512 = 7840768 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xd1b46611 It should be 255 heads, 63 sectors/track. Under centos 5 this is reported correctly. I even tried specifying the -S 63 -H 255 on the fdisk command line - that did not help. my symptom is when I setup my CF card to run linux - I get a grub error 2. What kind of madness is happening?

VM Philosophy 101 - How many and for what?
by James B. Byrne 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

We are at the stage, finally, where we are prepared to deploy public facing VM guests. Now we have to answer these questions: How many guests in total should we contemplate and what services are placed on which guests? My question comes down to whether it is considered advisable to run the primary DNS and IMAP, or indeed all services, on separate vm guests; or should we continue, more or less, with the present split and just move everything into guests on a one-for-one basis from our existing hosts? Will additional vms necessarily increase the amount of time given to system maintenance as I suspect? Previously, with only a few physical hosts, the number of platforms was fixed and services were split more or less on the basis of internal and external users. Not to mention which host had more available resources at the time the service was implemented. For example, presently our primary DNS and the IMAP services runs on one server with MailScanner controlled Sendmail used only for local delivery and forwarding. On another host we run the publicly accessible MX MTA and a secondary public DNS. On a third we run our fax server and public web site together with a caching only DNS service. I very much would appreciate any relevant comments from people who have already resolved this matter together with their reasoning. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
