Update or not?
by Sam Drinkard 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

After reading all the problems with the x86-64 update, I'm in a quandry as to update this machine or not. Nothing that I am aware of is broken, and at least everything I use works. This is NOT a production machine, but it does have some important software that needs to run twice daily, and I sure don't want to break things for that. If upgrade is not necessary, how do I go about turning off that red exclaimation point on the upper menu bar? Just tell it to ignore everything? -- Snowman

Kernel Audit Messages
by Kirk Bocek 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Since updating to 4.2 my Opteron server has been flooded by messages like: audit(1129565701.837:155): user pid=4700 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM session open: user=root exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron result=Success)' to both /var/log/messages and the kernel ring buffer. Looks like they are being generated by cron jobs being run on the server. Does anyone know how to turn these messages off or to redirect them? Kirk

OpenNMS seemed a good choice as it does everything (although rather too heavyweight for what I want), as its taken me and a few Java experts here more than two days to try and install OpenNMS I think its time to move onto something else.

Centos 4.1 Boot Problem on ML570 with Compag 5300 Storage Array Raid Controller
by Dave Augustus 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Hello All, Hardware: HP ML570 2G Ram Dual 2.8G procs Compaq 5300 Smart Array Controller Software: Centos 4.1 I yum-med a server last week and rebooted it. When it came up, it stopped. Looking at the console, I got: ---snip Setting Hostname: OK Checking root filesystem: /dev/cciss/c0d0p10 is mounted, e2fsck cannot continue, aborting failed *** an error occurred during the file system check *** Dropping you to a shell; The system will reboot *** when you leave the shell Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue) ---snip So I did what any good sysadmin would do- I grabbed the boot disk and rebooted the box in rescue mode and ran e2fsck on the /root partition. No errors came up and rebooting the box resulted in the same error! So I dug a little, and found that putting some comments in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit would circumvent *the error* and allow the box to boot. Here are the lines - (around line 375) if [ "${RHGB_STARTED}" != "0" -a -w /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console ]; then fsck -T -a $rootdev $fsckoptions > /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console else initlog -c "fsck -T -a $rootdev $fsckoptions" fi Here are the grub.conf boot settings: title CentOS (2.6.9-22.ELsmp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-22.ELsmp.img My question is: WHAT IS THE ERROR? TIA, Dave Augustus

logwatch and yum
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Not sure if anybody noticed that logwatch is not reporting any stuff from /var/log/yum.log file. This is due to date format in log file (yum uses standard syslog date format, while logwatch script expects US date format). It seems that upstream doesn't ship with yum at all, so I guesss the problem was never detected there (and in most likeliness not applicable to it, although the upstream logwatch package does have yum scripts). The problem can be corrected by either modifying yum to use US date format for the log file, or by modifying logwatch to correctly parse yum.log file using standard date format. Don't have any Fedora Core box handy, so I can't check in what format is Fedora's yum.log file. I guess the best way would be to do whatever Fedora Core does (since that is the closest to the upstream). Here are some patches against logwatch that correct the issue, assuming Fedora Core uses the same log format as CentOS. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Does anyone here know of a repository that has PostgreSQL v.8 for CentOS-4? If so, where is it? Are there caveats that I should know about?
