Centos+AD integration (uid/gid problems)
by nux＠li.nux.ro 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hi, I need to have several EL machines in an AD env. Joining the machines was easier than expected using authconfig, but what happens now is that blahdomain\blahuser gets assigned a different, random ID each time I use a different station. In AD I did specify the UID and GID in the UNIX Attributes tab for blahuser, but it gets totally ignored; so do the other values (for home, shell etc). Ideally I'd have all the users assigned a static uid and gid from AD and have /home on all machines mounted from NFS; but right now if I log in with blahuser to another machine my $HOME is owned by another random id. Sugesstions? What am I missing? I'm quite a noob with Windows :) Cheers

List, I am putting together a sftp server and would like to use a restrictive shell with a chroot jail. I was wondering what members of the list thought about rssh as opposed to scponly. Greg Ennis

OT: virtual host for apache/tomcat servers
by James Pifer 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

I hope someone here can answer my question so I don't have to join another mailing list, on too many as it is... I have the following installed: httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3 tomcat5-5.5.23 I have a small jsp app that I can hit through apache like: http://www.mydomain.com/tomcat/myapp.jsp So tomcat in the url above is the apache proxy address for the tomcat server. I want to setup a virtual host in apache to automatically load this app if I type: http://myapp.mydomain.com I'm having trouble figuring this out. If I try to setup a virtual host, apache complains that /tomcat is not a valid DocumentRoot. Looking at tons of docs, but not seeing the solution. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, James

centos server network speed check???
by mcclnx mcc 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

we have several servers on same rack and servers are all inside firewall. Centos version from 4.X to 5.X. sometime the connection are very slow (compare to servers on other racks also inside firewall). we discuss with network engineer he ask us use "ping" and traceroute" to check. Both tools response time are good but if we connect through application like Web browser, database, or DELL OPMN tool. The response time is very very slow. This situation normally last 4 to 5 hours then it back to normal. Does there has way to check "real" network response time so we can show to network engineer. Otherwise they always say "no problem". Thanks.

Sorry, that was just my impression from previous posts. I guess I have that wrong. Maybe I am confusing the reluctance to take donations at the moment with commercial sponsorship. Thanks for correcting me. Couple of questions, then.... What is the average current time commitment per week, i.e. man hours that is currently volunteered by the core developers? What would that need to increase to, to significantly reduce release times (which I think was the overall goal)? What would the *market rate* be for the skills required? Just to give a rough figure to work with and shouldn't be related to any particular person's current day job. Thanks in advance, Ian.

lvremove failed on install
by Steven Vishoot 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hello, I was trying to install CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD tonight and kept on getting this same error and i have no idea what is causing this annoyance and not letting me complete the install because as soon as this error is produced it says this a bug and should be filed. Before I file a bug report i would like to know if anyone else ran into this and would mind pointing me in the right direction or a link to the solution. The full output is: http://pastebin.com/eEYZigrz i am hoping someone would be able to help, because i have no clue what is going on except that it is failing on trying to remove a volume group. Thanks Steven
