CentOS 4.6 Samba Mount problem
by sync 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hi ,all : Today I run the following command to mount the Linux Server Samba share folder on my computer which installed CentOS 5.5 x86_64 . root@test ~: mount.cifs //IP/share /mnt root@test ~: mount -o loop /mnt/xxx.iso /media xxx.iso: Permission denied But I see the permission of that file is 755, that means others can do read and excute. Then I run "tailf /var/log/message" command and find the following error message : kernel :CIFS VFS: server IP of type Samba 3.0.25a-04.E6 returned unexpected error on SMB posix open, disabling posix open support. Check if server update available. By the way, the Linux Server which installed CentOS 4.6 64 bit and the samba version is 3.0.25a-04.E6. So is it the samba version bug? Or Should I update the new samba version ? Thanks in advance ....

fast processing and buffering
by Michael D. Berger 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

I have a C++ program that opens, gets a little data from, and closes about 5000 files. Now if I run the program when I first boot up, the running time is from about 10 seconds to a minute. Subsequently, the program runs in well inter one second. Buffering -- right? So I changed a parameter, so the program gets a different (albeit similar) 5000 files from a different directory. Running time on the first try: well under one second. How about that? [~]$ uname -a Linux xxxxx 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 17:53:09 EST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Thanks for your comments. Mike.

Release 5.5 64-bit hangs on boot
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi there -- I just completed installing the 64-bit version of Release 5.5, and while the installation and initial configuration completed successfully, a full boot-up is never completed successfully. During the system boot-up sequence the list of services appears to complete, but then a blank blue screen appears, and while the mouse pointer is present, it does not respond to any input. I let the system stand, in the hope it would correct itself, for about half an hour, but the status did not change. I did the installation a second time to see if this was a freak occurrence. Unfortunately, after the second attempt was completed, the same issue occurred on the server. Prior to doing the installation, I confirmed the DVD and CD media were tested and found to be valid. When I did the installation, I went with the base install along with Server, Server GUI, and Virtualization support. The server hardware is a Dell R515 system with two 500 GB SAS drives that are hardware-based RAID1 that was completely optimized prior to the software install. Has anyone experienced this issue before, and has an idea as to what is going on, and how it can be corrected? Thanks.

log monitoring and reporting software
by Janez Kosmrlj 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi folks, In the company where i work, we are implementing a security standard. A part of this is a log monitoring and reporting software. There are a few requirements, that the software must fulfil: - It must be capable of collecting logs from different devices (Linux machines, network equipment, ...). - it must be capable of sending alarms on security events - it has to generate daily (weekly, monthly) reports - it's a plus if it is easy configurable - it has to have a good support or at least a good community if it is an opensource product So what are you using or at least some recommendations would be nice. An opensource product would be nice, but it's not required. I know i could google it, but it's difficult to decide for a product just from online and marketing presentations. It would be nice to get some real world experience. Thanx

CentOS 3.9 is now gone (Tru Huynh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:37:36 -0600 From: Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] CentOS 4 i386 and x86_64 release of CentOS-4.9 To: CentOS-Announce <centos-announce(a)centos.org> Message-ID: <4D6EB8A0.7030508(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" The CentOS development team is pleased to announce the release of CentOS 4.9 for i386 and x86_64. This release corresponds to the upstream vendor 4.9 release. Also released in the updates repository for CentOS-4.9 are all updates through March 1st, 2011. If you are currently using an older CentOS 4 version, using this command will upgrade you to CentOS-4.9: yum upgrade NOTE: The upstream provider did not respin media for the 4.9 release and therefore the CentOS project will also not respin our install media. Installs moving forward will be off the 4.8 media and an upgrade will move you from version 4.8 to version 4.9. We do this to maintain compatibility with 3rd party kernel drivers which are designed to be installed as part of the installation process. This is the last expected set of changes to add new functionality to the CentOS 4. We will continue to provide security updates and bug fixes for CentOS 4 until its End-of-Life scheduled for February 29, 2012. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Major changes for this version are: * The kernel-utils package provides microcode_ctl utility code and the microcode data itself ? supplied by Intel ? to assist the kernel in updating the CPU microcode at system boot time. This microcode supports all current Intel x86- and Intel 64-based CPU models and takes advantage of the mechanism built-in to Linux that allows microcode to be updated after system boot. When loaded, the updated microcode corrects the behavior of various Intel processors, as described in processor specification updates issued by Intel for those processors. In the CentOS-4.9 release the kernel-utils package has been updated with the 2010-09-14 version of Intel's microcode. * OProfile in CentOS 4.9 now supports Intel Xeon (formerly codenamed Nehalem) processor performance events. * The KornShell (ksh) package in CentOS 4.9 has been upgraded to the upstream release version ksh93t+. * CentOS-4.9 provides an updated coreutils package, containing checksum utilities for the whole SHA-2 family, allowing a user to easily count or verify SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 checksums. * CentOS-4.9 features version 3.6.13 of the Mozilla Firefox open source web browser. * SystemTap in CentOS-4.9 has been updated to version 1.3. Most notably, this update provides support for the newer kprobe capabilities. * OpenOffice 2.0 is now included in this release as a Technology Preview. This suite features several improvements, including ODF and PDF functionalities, support for digital signatures and greater compatibility with open suites in terms of format and interface. In addition to this, the OpenOffice 2.0 spreadsheet has enhanced pivot table support, and can now handle up to 65,000 rows. For these and other changes, please see the CentOS specific release notes here: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS4.9 the detailed upstream release notes here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/4/html/4.9_Relea… CentOS-4 Documentation is here: http://www.centos.org/docs/4/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- All previous released CentOS versions are available at: http://vault.centos.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- To stay current with CentOS: Visit our website at http://www.centos.org/ Join the CentOS mailing list at: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos HowTos and other items on the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/ Join various team members on IRC at irc.freenode.net #centos -------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: It may take a couple days for some of the external mirrors to catch up. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy, The CentOS Development Team

unable to assign static IPv6
by Lars Nordin 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

I'm having a problem permanently assigning a static IPv6 address to my CentOS v5.5 box. I have IPv6 enabled and the link local address is automatically brought up. I can manually ifconfig the address but when I configure it in ifcfg-eth0 and restart the network init script the IPv6 address is not assigned. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: IPV6INT=yes IPV6ADDR=fdca:fefe:dace:07b1:0000:0002:B339:2817 $ cat /etc/sysconfig//network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes $ lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1- noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS release 5.5 (Final) Release: 5.5 Codename: Final
