ldapsearch w. SSL refuses to connect to server with openssl 1.0.1 (worked with openssl 1.0.0)
by Frank Thommen 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hi, ldapsearch with an ldaps-URL stopped working recently, probably with the update from openssl 1.0.0 to openssl 1.0.1. On a server with up-to-date packages (openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.x86_64, openldap-clients-2.4.23-32.el6_4.1.x86_64) I get the following errors when issuing an ldapsearch (some parts anonymized): [bad]# ldapsearch -H "ldaps://ldap.domain.org:6636/" -D <binddn> -x -W -b <searchbase> -d1 -s sub -v "uid=ME" ldap_url_parse_ext(ldaps://ldap.domain.org:6636/) ldap_initialize( ldaps://ldap.domain.org:6636/??base ) ldap_create ldap_url_parse_ext(ldaps://ldap.domain.org:6636/??base) Enter LDAP Password: ldap_sasl_bind ldap_send_initial_request ldap_new_connection 1 1 0 ldap_int_open_connection ldap_connect_to_host: TCP ldap.domain.org:6636 ldap_new_socket: 3 ldap_prepare_socket: 3 ldap_connect_to_host: Trying 12.34.56.78:6636 ldap_pvt_connect: fd: 3 tm: -1 async: 0 TLS: certdb config: configDir='/etc/openldap/cacerts' tokenDescription='ldap(0)' certPrefix='' keyPrefix='' flags=readOnly TLS: cannot open certdb '/etc/openldap/cacerts', error -8018:Unknown PKCS #11 error.

thunderbird-24.2.0-2.el5 is borked
by Lars Hecking 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Leon Fauster writes in "RHEL 7 Beta is now public": > RHEL7 without thunderbird :-( Speaking of which, the tb-24 update in 5.10 is totally broken. Cannot get lightning calendar to work all, even after starting with a fresh setup. There are two calendar toolbars, the New Calendar iitem and nearly everything else in this menu are grayed out, and the Day/Week/Multiweek/Month tabs don't work. tb-24+lightning 2.6.4 certainly work fine on my machine at home (not CentOS).

LVM recovery after pvcreate
by przemolicc＠poczta.fm 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hi all, I had centos 5.9 installed with one of its volumes (non-root) on LVM: ... /dev/vgapps/lvapps /opt/apps ext3 defaults 1 2 ... Then installed centos 6.4 on this servers but without exporting this volume (I wanted to reuse it). After that instead importing it I did: # pvcreate /dev/sddlmac # vgcreate vgapps /dev/sddlmac And then realised that I should have import it instead of pvcreate/vgcreate. Can I restore previous state and data from this volume ? I have files from /etc/lvm/backup (taken before reinstallation) with its old definition. Regards P.

6.5 minimal kickstart bug?
by Ted Miller 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

I am new to kickstart file, but my understanding of the process is that I am supposed to be able to take the anaconda-ks-cfg file from the /root directory, copy it to an accessible location, and point the install disk to it, and it should reproduce the install I did originally. I used the 6.5 minimal install ISO, copied and renamed the ks.cfg. It is seen as a kickstart file, but it refuses to complete the install with the error message: ----------------------------------------------------- Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: CentOS ------------------------------------------------------ I read the kickstart file and found the Centos reference in the "repo" line, which the docs say is optional. I commented out that line, and the file works fine. I am guessing that this may be a capitalization mismatch? Or is there something I don't know? Do I need to do a bugzilla on this?

by Wes James 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

I'm using CentOS 6.5 and have one connection open to a system in my student doing a software install. I set up a second RDP connection (Applications -> Internet -> Terminal Server Client), but when I double click on it, it will not run. Is there a way to have more than one running? -wes

7.0 largely estimated release date...
by John Doe 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hey, I have a new laptop for which CentOS 6.5 says hardware not supported, but it still seems to work. So I was happy to hear about the beta and naively planning to wait until 7.0 to install it... But, seeing that RHEL 6 beta->stable took around 6 months, and add to that the CentOS hard work... Do you think we are talking about an autumn 2014 release? Thx, JD

What is eating up Swap

Hi, recently I noticed, that one of our webservers is using swap space, while there is plenty of physical ram available. free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8118 2014 6103 0 85 261 -/+ buffers/cache: 1667 6450 Swap: 8197 77 8119 It's not that much, but why? Any ideas how to debug that?

MySQL stale socket
by Luigi Rosa 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a server with a faulty power supply that resets the server every 4/5 hours. While I wait for the supplier to change the PS, I am facing an issue with MySQL. When the system comes back on, mysqld script starts the daemon, but the connections via /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock don't work because MySQL doesn't delete and recreate the stale socket. Apart from editing /etc/init.d/mysqld to force the deletion of a stale socket are there any other way to solve this issue? Thank you un advance.
