dovecot informational/error messages?
by Timothy Murphy 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

I'm getting the message Nov 22 13:06:56 grover dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=192.168.2.3, lip=192.168.2.5, TLS: Disconnected every second on my CentOS-6.4 server. Is this purely an informational message? Or is it an error message? And in either case, how can I stop the flood of messages? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

quota doesn't appear to work - repquota only updates when quotacheck is run
by Matt Garman 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

I have set up user quotas on an ext4 filesystem. It does not appear that the quota system is being updated, except when I manually run quotacheck. More detail: I run "warnquota -s" from a script in /etc/cron.daily. I noticed that no one had received an "over quota" message in a long time. Using "repquota -as", it indeed looked as though everyone was under their quotas. But "du" showed many people were over quota. So I did a "quotaoff -a ; quotacheck -vam ; quotaon -a". That night, several warnquota-generated messages went out. My users diligently cleaned up their homes. Fast forward 24 hours, and the users received the same warnquota emails. repquota showed them as being over, but "du" told a different story. System is CentOS 6.3, kernel 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64. # dmesg | grep -i quota VFS: Disk quotas dquot_6.5.2 The partition is type ext4 mounted at /share: # cat /proc/mounts | grep share /dev/mapper/VolGroup_Share-LogVol_Share /share ext4 rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=writeback,jqfmt=vfsv0,usrjquota=aquota.user 0 0 The ext4 volume sits on top of an lvm logical partion. That logical volume ultimately sits on top of an encrypted disk using cryptsetup luksFormat: # lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup_Share/LogVol_Share' [4.48 TiB] inherit # pvscan PV /dev/mapper/luks-7f865362-ee9f-40de-bc07-73701b4662f3 VG VolGroup_Share lvm2 [4.48 TiB / 0 free] Is there something in my ext4 mount options that is incompatible with quota? Or maybe the encrypted layer is causing problems? Am I missing something else? Thanks!

restarting network interface
by Wes James 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

I googled to see how I might restart the network interface in CentOS. I initially tried before googling: sudo service network restart I noticed that only the loopback interface was restarted. To confirm this I did: service network stop and then did ifconfig and the loopback info was gone. I then found ifconfig eth0 up/down and tried those and that did what I is was looking for. Why doesn't "service network restart" restart all interfaces? Thanks, -wes

CentOS still dies on me
by Michael Hennebry 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Might this have something to do with the following boot message?: Starting virt-who: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-who/virt-who.py", line 33, in <module> from subscriptionmanager import SubscriptionManager, SubscriptionManagerError File "/usr/share/virt-who/subscriptionmanager.py", line 24, in <module> import rhsm.connection as rhsm_connection ImportError: No module named rhsm.connection ^[[60G[^[[0;31mFAILED^[[0;39m]^M Starting libvirtd daemon: ^[[60G[^[[0;32m OK ^[[0;39m] If not, I'd like to test the idea that my problem with Linux dying on me is that recent kernels do not like my computer. My most recent installation that still runs reliably is Fedora 14. If I copy a kernel from F14 into my CentOS installation, what else do I need to copy with it? I know that I will need to add to my grub.conf . -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily

vpn client setup/plugin
by Wes James 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

I'm trying to find the correct vpn plugin so I can vpn in to a server. The server requirements are vpn server, username/password and shared secret. I've installed a few vpn plugins, but I haven't found the correct one that has the shared secret option. Anyone know which one it is? I've tried a few from the Add/Remove Software application. Thanks, -wes

Any experience with lanner appliances?
by John Doe 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Hi, anybody has installed CentOS on an lanner appliance...? Eg. http://www.lannerinc.com/products/all-purpose-box-computers/industrial-auto… I was planning to buy an hp microserver to make a "small" CentOS firewall (and more since it is overpowered), but I am wondering if I could go for a lot smaller and with no fan/noise... but at the same time a bit more expensive... Thx, JD

CentOS LiveCD on USB
by Glenn Eychaner 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

I have been following these instructions: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=501 to put a bunch of utilities (Clonezilla, SystemRescue, CentOS netinstall/rescue, etc.) on a single USB key. It works great for everything (including Ubuntu Live) except the CentOS 6.4 LiveCD. (You can see my postings at the bottom of the forum.) When booting the LiveCD, I got: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.32-358.el6.i686 #1 After removing "quiet" and adding "selinux=disabled", I got more information; the boot stalls after finding devices, and gives: No root device "block:/dev/mapper/live-rw" found dracut suggests adding "rdshell", which I did. This was not helpful (I had no idea what to do in the dracut shell), but did notice that in the dracut shell /dev/ did NOT seem to contain my USB drive at /dev/sdb as I would expect. (One reason it seemeed not helpful) So: 1) I used VFAT rather than ext2/3/4. Do I have to use ext2/3/4? 2) Do I need to rebuild the initramfs file somewhere in the CentOS LiveCD directory? 3) Is this just a straight-up hardware incompatibility? The computer is a brand-new SuperMicro X10SAE Haswell system. Thanks, -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

VNC
by Larry Martell 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

I had posted last week about trying to get VNC working. I was never successful nor were multiple admins. But we realized that all the hosts we tried on were VMs. We followed the same procedure ( http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server) on a machine with physical HW and it worked with no problem. But on the VM I can connect, but I don't get any window displayed. Here is what is in the log: Sat Oct 19 18:39:55 2013 vncext: VNC extension running! vncext: Listening for VNC connections on all interface(s), port 5902 vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-Y6Tg3c/socket SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-Y6Tg3c/socket.ssh GNOME_KEYRING_PID=19728 Failed to play sound: File or data not found ** (nm-applet:19775): WARNING **: <WARN> request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.

Emacs 24 on CentOS 6.4
by Carson Chittom 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

I'm fairly new to CentOS, so please excuse my ignorance. I've installed CentOS 6.4, for which Emacs 23 is available; but I'd like to have Emacs 24. I've looked at rpmforge and epel, but neither seem to have Emacs 24 already packaged; and I've searched for every combination of emacs + 24 + centos without success. While I could, of course, just do the ./configure && make && make install dance, I don't like having software installed that's not in the packaging system. I'd appreciate any pointer to a prepackaged Emacs 24, or failing that, a good tutorial on how to package software correctly for CentOS.
