by Rudi Ahlers 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Hi, Does anyone know if "Red Hat Store" will be available in CentOS? Have a look here: http://www.redhat.com/products/storage-server/ I'm not referring to the "Red Hat Cluster Suite" which is already available. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Cell: 082 554 7532 Fax: 086 268 8492

autofs update brakes nested automount
by Theo Band 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

On my CentOS5 boxes the automounter fails after the last update to autofs.x86_64 1:5.0.1-0.rc2.177.el5 No update is seen on CentOS6 and things still work there. The home directory of users is setup using an auto.home map which is distributed using NIS: * fsutrecht02:/export/home/& /nobackup -noacl nasutrecht01:/nobackup/& /snapshot -ro fazant:/home_backup/ This maps a users home directory and and two subfolders ~/nobackup and ~/snapshot Now I see this in my logs: automount[6510]: parse_mount: parse(sun): can't find multi root thba I found that this still works: * fsutrecht02:/export/home/& The nested folders do no longer work. If the wildcard is removed, works: thba fsutrecht02:/export/home/& /nobackup -noacl nasutrecht01:/nobackup/& /snapshot -ro fazant:/home_backup/ Any idea how wildcards can be made to work (again) with nested mounts? Is it a bug? Thanks, Theo

5.9: wait, or CR?
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hey, folks, I just saw Johnny mention 5.9 yesterday, and this morning, my manager tells me he got about 100 emails from somewhere about 5.9 and a CR repo. So, my questions to the team is: is there a CR repo, and is there some urgency to enabling it, or shall we just wait for the release? The *only* thing I can think of having real issues with is the newest PIV cards.... mark

Use of CentOS name and logo
by Giacomo Sanchietti 16 Jan '13

Hi. my name is Giacomo Sanchietti and I'm working for a company called Nethesis. We are working on a CentOS derived distribution like SME Server. It's a minimal CentOS with a software layer on top to add a web configuration interface. The CD iso, it's a CentOS minimal CD with some extras packages from centos-base yum group, and a kickstart file to automatize the installation process. We did not rebrand anaconda, so during installation (and first boot) CentOS logo and name will be visible. Is this a problem? Are there any legal issues? Do we need to rebrand all the distro?

Off-Topic: Low Power Hardware
by SilverTip257 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hello, I'm slightly off-topic here, but it is somewhat CentOS related! I'm in search of some hardware that consumes a low amount of power for use as a test-bed for Linux, various coding projects, and LAN services. 1) Low power consumption (10-15W ... maybe 30W at most) 2) Must run Linux without too much fuss (CentOS or otherwise) 3) Must have two NICs (fast ethernet or better) 4) Memory - 1GB or better 5) Can be configurable either via serial or VGA. 6) Accepts a normal hard drive, not CF -- drive capacity is my concern. 7) spare PCI slot is a _plus_ (extra NICs or whatever else) 8) I'd like to keep the physical footprint to a minimum (size of a 1U switch or so?) Old Sun/Cobalt hardware (Raq4) from the early 2000s was brought to my attention by a friend, but that hardware is in low supply and the prices are outrageous for the specs/age of machine. *** I'm curious if there's certain hardware that you folks are using and fit all/most of my criteria. *** It would be cool if they made a Raspberry Pi with dual onboard NICs, but it still doesn't cut it since it takes SD cards and not a hard drive. Have a great Friday! Thanks for any feedback. -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 //

Adding CA/Root SSL / TLS Certificate, HTTPS
by Bry8 Star 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hi, I need to add my own and other/new self-signed ca/root cert in CentOS pki database/system, for all/most type of apps to use. Using "wget", i'm trying to securely(HTTPS) get gpg keys/files from https://fedoraproject.org/keys site, which is using root cert with following info: CN = GeoTrust Global CA O = GeoTrust Inc.

Storing and restoring sound settings

So I have setup the MX-records for my domains: # host videoskat.de videoskat.de has address 176.9.40.169 videoskat.de mail is handled by 100 static.103.78.9.176.clients.your-server.de. videoskat.de mail is handled by 10 preferans.de. # host balkan-preferans.de balkan-preferans.de has address 176.9.40.169 balkan-preferans.de mail is handled by 100 static.103.78.9.176.clients.your-server.de. balkan-preferans.de mail is handled by 10 preferans.de. And at the both servers I have added: # head /etc/postfix/virtual @balkan-preferans.de First.Last(a)gmail.com @videoskat.de First.Last(a)gmail.com # postmap /etc/postfix/virtual # postmap -q "@videoskat.de" /etc/postfix/virtual First.Last(a)gmail.com And have opened port 25 in the firewall: # grep -w 25 /etc/sysconfig/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -m multiport --dports 25,22 -j ACCEPT But now when I send a mail to spam(a)videoskat.de there is nothing to see in postfix logs: # sudo tail /var/log/maillog Jan 15 10:50:42 postfix/postfix-script[1401]: starting the Postfix mail system Jan 15 10:50:42 postfix/master[1402]: daemon started -- version 2.6.6, configuration /etc/postfix So I'm probably missing something?

That's only needed to make a filesystem consistent for a snapshot at a lower level (such as the raid controller or VM hypervisor). It doesn't integrate with higher level components to make files and databases consistent. So, like I said, Linux falls far short of Windows' backup infrastructure, and if you aren't actively making your files consistent for a backup, they won't be. All of the required components are present, but it's up to admins to do all of the integration work.

Upgrading Python with NumPy, SciPy and Mayavi on a CentOs 6.2 (Rocks 6.0) cluster
by Patrick Haley 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Hi, We are looking for some guidance in installing an upgraded Python on our cluster. Our cluster was installed with Rocks 6.0, is running CentOs 6.2, and has python-2.6.6, gcc-4.4.6. We would like to install an upgraded version of Python along with the following modules NumPy Scipy (which will require a compatible version of the Atlas libraries) Mayavi (which will require a compatible version of vtk) We were wondering if anyone has experience in installing these packages, what are the best combinations of compatible versions, what other upgrades will be needed (e.g. will we need to upgrade the gnu compilers to install the latest versions) and where these should be installed (local disks, /share/apps, other?). A little more background, our students are currently working with a local installation using Python-2.7.1 numpy-1.5.1 scipy-0.9.0b1 Mayavi-3.4.0 ATLAS-3.8.3 vtk-5.4 We would like to install these packages in a more appropriate, cluster-wide area and upgrade these packages as appropriate. We are also aware of a Rocks python roll which contains python-2.7.2 and an upspecified version of NumPy (is it possible to find out which version, before installing the roll?).

gigantic memory leak in Clock Applet...
by fred smith 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

I've discovered recently that something on my Centos 5.8 box (up to date) is hogging a ton of RAM. so a little while ago I sat and watched top for a while. it showed (sorry, I didn't take screen shots or write this down, so the numbers are a bit rough) that out of 8 gigs of swap, around 2 1/2 was in use, and all the RAM (except for the little the kernel keeps for itself) was in use (it's got 4 gigs). this might not sound bad, but there's hardly ever anything big running on this box, it's just my home desktop machine used mostly for web browsing/music/email and similar. so, watching top run for a while I could eventually make out that something had "1.6g" flashing in the "RES" column. slowing the refresh a little I saw that it was "clock applet". so I killed the clock applet and restarted it, then clock applet showed "11m" in the "RES" column, and the unused RAM was suddenly like a gig and 3/4, or so, and the swap used slowly started dropping while the free ram began being used up, as it normally should. as I continue to watch it run (10-15 mins later) I can see that clock applet is now showing 14m in the RES column, so it's still growing. Is anyone else seeing the clock applet hogging (tons of tiny leaks, I assume) RAM needlessly? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 -------------------------------

luks and aes-ni
by Markus Falb 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Hi, Short version: If I had a CPU with the aes-ni [1] feature would luks use it? I know that Upstream Vendors Security Guide [2] says: ...snip The default cipher used for LUKS (refer to cryptsetup --help) is aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 (ESSIV - Encrypted Salt-Sector Initialization Vector). Note that the installation program, Anaconda, uses by default XTS mode (aes-xts-plain64) snap... I also found a notion in the forums that maybe only aes-cbc is using aes-ni [3] and that could mean that after a install aes-ni is not used at all. Does anyone know about this or has experiences?

Any attempt by the kernel to read any filesystem is likely to cause a panic before wiping is complete. If you want to completely wipe a disk, you need the root filesystem to be somewhere else.

Why is localhost self-signed cert a CA cert?
by Robert Moskowitz 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

I am building a mail server on Centos 6.3 and working with OpenSSL to create a self-signed certificate for mail use. Along the line of learning the 'best' options to use for OpenSSL and dealing with the default SSL virtual host for Apache, I discovered that the localhost cert created (I believe) during firstboot has the X509v3 extensions set as a CA cert (eg basicConstraint CA:TRUE). I was once very involved in PKIX and legal issues on certificate policy. Having the localhost cert being a CA cert, thus allowed to sign other certs, MAY have legal implications in the USofA and EU. Why was this chosen? Why is not -extensions v3_req used in the certificate creation? Oh you can see this for yourself with: openssl x509 -in /etc/pki/certs/localhost.crt -text -nameopt multiline -noout|more

Re: [CentOS] Building Dovecot CentOS 5 RPMs with custom LDAP packages

However, IMHO building dovecot using standard openldap-devel on CentOS 5 means that, even though the final RPM works, it will use *ancient* openldap v2.3 libraries. If we manage to use custom openldap libaries (like those from LTB Openldap builds) then Dovecot can be built against modern/current Openldap v2.4 libraries. That may provide significant improvements to the final RPM, in terms of LDAP usage. In any case, I found the solution (based on the documentation: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/CompilingSource) I added the following lines (marked below with ++) in your spec file: %build export PATH=/usr/kerberos/bin:$PATH #required for fdpass.c line 125,190: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules ++ export CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS} -I/usr/local/openldap/include" ++ export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L/usr/local/openldap/lib64" export CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -fno-strict-aliasing" %configure INSTALL_DATA="install -c -p -m644" \ --docdir=%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version} \ --disable-static \ --disable-rpath \ --with-nss \ --with-shadow \ --with-pam \ --with-gssapi=plugin \ --with-ldap=plugin \ ... So, this produces a dovecot package based on Openldap 2.4 libraries(follows excerpt from the rpmbuild output): ... Requires(interp): /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 Requires(pre): /bin/sh shadow-utils Requires(post): /bin/sh chkconfig shadow-utils Requires(preun): /bin/sh chkconfig initscripts shadow-utils Requires(postun): /bin/sh initscripts Requires: /bin/bash /bin/sh config(dovecot) = 1:2.1.13-3.centme initscripts ... libldap-2.4.so.2()(64bit) ... ... It was initially using: libldap-2.3.so.0()(64bit) Regards, Nick

grub issues on reinstall.
by zGreenfelder 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi all. sorry for an immediate question after subscribing, but I've managed to back myself into a frustrating corner. I've done some googling and come up dry, I figured I should try to post to the list while I dig through the archives. I have an issue with grub on a centos reinstall. my system previously had 1x 120g ide drive, 3 1tb sata drives in raid 5 md, 2 300 g in a raid 1 md,the /boot partition was on the ide drive, os on the raid 1 in a volume group and everything seemed fine. I downloaded the x86_86 iso a few days back and decided to just to a complete reinstall rather than burn myself with some odd upgrade path trying to put newer, larger drives into a md with a much smaller drive. I've since purchased some new drives and changed to 1 120 ide, 4 1 tb sata, 2 3tb sata. I've tried a few different combinations of install locations (e.g reused the ide as /boot, a 512 mb slice from a 1tb drive for /boot) but every layout I try seems to end up with a grub config that can not find the OS (if memory serves, the message comes back as error 15: file not found, hit return to reboot) the thing that seems odd to me is when I do the reinstall, the hdds seem to start much higher than I'd expect. there's no /dev/sda, b, c, d, ... I think they start at i. does anyone have some suggestions for what to try for this issue? Thanks. -- Even the Magic 8 ball has an opinion on email clients: Outlook not so good.

Building Dovecot CentOS 5 RPMs with custom LDAP packages
by Nikolaos Milas 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi, We are (still) mainly using CentOS 5 (5.8 x86_64). As CentOS / EL 5 standard OpenLDAP packages are rather old (2.3.x), we've been using LTB OpenLDAP packages ( http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap) which get installed in non-standard file system locations. I am not much experienced in building RPMs and preparing spec files. We are currently using dovecot RPM packages from the atrpms repo (http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/) I would like to re-build Dovecot packages based on the LTB OpenLDAP RPM packages (OpenLDAP v2.4.x), esp. because I see that ATRPMs Dovecot RPM packages are built using OpenLDAP v2.3 devel code (i.e. standard CentOS OpenLDAP devel packages). In http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot.spec I see: ------------------------------------------------ BuildRequires: openldap-devel, cyrus-sasl-devel ... Obsoletes: %{name}-pgsql < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-mysql < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $ Conflicts: %{name}-pgsql > %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-mysql > %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite > %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap > %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $ ------------------------------------------------ So, I guess I can/should change the former line to: BuildRequires: openldap-ltb-debuginfo, cyrus-sasl-devel Note: The final Dovecot RPM and the associated executables (included therein) do not need any LDAP dynamic library in order to run with LDAP support; i.e. after building, the produced package does not require any ldap package on the system. Question 1: What other changes/additions should we make in the spec file in order to specify that we will be using (if needed) LDAP libraries from: /usr/local/openldap/lib64 and include files from: /usr/local/openldap/include (rather than from /usr/lib64 and /usr/include, respectively, which are the standard file paths used in native openldap-devel RPM)? Question 2: How the Obsoletes and Conflicts lines should be changed? Any other associated info would be appreciated. Thanks, Nick

GnuTLS v3.1.6 on CentOS 6.3
by Bry8 Star 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi, on CentOS 6.3 (32-bit) current & default GnuTLS is version 2.8.5-4.el6_2.2 gnutls.i686 ( where can i get a src rpm for at-least trying it from a 2nd/different directory ? ) Can someone kindly point to an article that will help to effectively upgrade to GnuTLS v3.1.1 or later+stable version, on CentOS 6.3 (32-bit) ? Need the DANE supported GnuTLS, will be used for various GnuTLS depended apps. Thanks in advance, -- Bright Star.

IE 9 not sending digest auth info
by Paul Heinlein 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

I migrated our internal wiki server last week, and some IE users aren't able to authenticate. The service is hosted by Apache using Digest authentication. It migrated from Apache 2.2.9 (Debian 5) to Apache 2.2.15 (CentOS 6). The internal hostname for the wiki server is a DNS CNAME that was repointed from one host to another during the cutover. In a normal session, 1. Client sends GET 2. Server sends 401 with WWW-Authenticate header 3. Client sends GET with Authorization header 4. Server sends 200 with Authentication-Info header and page content When using IE 9 (and possibly 8, I'm still trying to track that down), 1. Client sends GET 2. Server sends 401 with WWW-Authenticate header 3. Client resends GET (*without* Authorization header) 4. Server sends 401 with WWW-Authenticate header 5. Etc. IE seems to be ignoring 401 and/or the WWW-Authenticate headers. Using Chrome on Windows works fine; the issues are specific to IE. Any ideas? My google-fu has failed me. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein(a)madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/

Spamassassin for Centos 6.3
by Robert Moskowitz 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

In http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd there is a recommendation to NOT use the version that comes with Centos 6.3, but to get the more current version from RPMForge. Is this the 'correct' thing to do on a Centos-based mail server?

Anybody running cadence on CentOS 6 ?
by Roberto Nunnari 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi all. So.. as the problem with the video driver and CentOS 5 seems to be hard to solve, I'll try to migrate to CentOS 6. I'd like to ask if anybody is successfully running cadence and plugins on CentOS 6 and if it is running as well as it was on CentOS 5.. If any, what problems may I see running cadence on CentOS 6 ? Thank you very much! Robi

Fencing a Dell T110 II
by Steve Campbell 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

I think I know the answer to this question based on all of the research I've done, but figured I'd ask anyway. I needed a couple of servers for an HA cluster, and our "order" guy here ordered me a couple of Dell PowerEdge T110 II. I'd planned on using IPMI to fence these things with, but later found out that this model is only one of two PE servers Dell sells that has a stripped down BMC on it, and allows only local access. It's my fault for not looking closer at the specs, but I figured a PowerEdge server would have the stuff I needed. So now I'm looking for a way to fence these without purchasing more equipment. I thought maybe IF-MIB, but I can't discover enough about that to determine whether that'll work for me. I find it strange that using Conga (luci) from a third administration server I can reboot these two Dell nodes, and wonder why that works, how it's done, and why that wouldn't work as a fence method. Any one dealt with this particular Dell PE and fencing in any form other than using something like an APC fence? Thanks for any suggests. I've pretty much wore Google out, and I'm now in that round-robin mode of results where everything leads back to the same pages on different servers. steve campbell

default journal mode of ext3

10 Jan '13

Hi, I found some articles (like https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75152) on the Internet saying that the default journal mode is writeback. Is that correct? And is the journal mode of the following device writeback too? Thanks. [root@localhost tmp]# tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 Default mount options: user_xattr acl

OpenSSL 1.0.1c for CentOS 6.3
by Bry8 Star 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi, another user on different mailing list pointed out openssl 1.0.1c from fedora 18 will work on centos 6.3, and also warned on replacing core components, and i also know as well, various other component starts to fail/stop working, like openssh, etc, if not properly pre-configured after a upgrade. Can anyone point out to a detail helpful & working article ? which will help on replacing CentOS 6.3 older 1.0.0-25 openssl with the latest+stable openssl 1.0.1c ? initially i was able to compile/load them on a different/2nd directory, and manually/directly use them. but would be very helpful if default openssl could be upgraded. Thanks in advance, -- Bright Star.

sysctl -p at startup?
by Emmett Culley 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I understand that the contents of /etc/sysctl.conf should be read and executed at system startup. However that never happens and I have to run sysctl -p after every reboot to get the settings I want. This is happening on every CentOS machine and VM I have. I can see in the startup scripts that "sysctl -e -p /etc/sysctl.conf >/dev/null 2>&1" is run at start up by the "apply_sysctl" function, yet the settings are never correct unless I run sysctl -p on the command line. Anybody know why that would be? I am running the latest updates on CentOS 6.3 Emmett

nm-applet in gdm still possible?
by Darod Zyree 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Greetings, Does anyone know if it is still possible to make use of the NetworkManager applet during a log on session? The reason why would be to have roaming users setup/manage (w)lan/vpn connections before logging in. Several searches hinted on either copying or linking /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop to /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow but that has not worked thus far.

network not accessible through bridged interface but traffic visible

I had a major HD failure and need to rebuild my host server and the virtual servers that resided on it. I am moving from CentOS 5.6 to CentOS 6.3.

After performing a reboot in VM (Virtualbox) which had been stopped, the User logs in but does not display the desktop leaving only the background image. The services are all active, can access and use the VM via ssh, but the Desktop died. I do not know where to begin to solve this problem. Any idea?

video capture
by Mark LaPierre 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hey all, I'm looking for a application that I can use to capture video from a USB web camera. I have Cheese Webcam Booth 2.28.1 installed but it leaves a lot to be desired in the video capture field. Things like actually working. It does an adequate job of snagging a batch of single images in burst mode. Any suggestions? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

CentOS 6.3 as Firewall/Router
by Tim Evans 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

I'm replacing an ancient Solaris 'ipf' firewall/router with a brand new CentOS 6.3 system. In the olden days, I successfully used the attached iptables script (as /etc/rc.local) on Red Hat 5.x systems, but this doesn't seem to be quite working on the new system. Specifically, while it seems to be routing ok, you cannot connect to anything on the inside net (e.g., with ssh or a browser) and cannot connect to the system with ssh or anything else from elsewhere on the inside net. Yet arp shows this system active. Is there obsolete stuff here, and/or anything missing that would cause this? Thanks. -- Tim Evans | 5 Chestnut Court UNIX System Admin Consulting | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 http://www.come-here.com/News/ | tkevans(a)tkevans.com

For some time I have been seeing disk errors in the syslog every seven days. Until today it always happens Sunday morning at 8:13 AM, plus or minus a minute or two. Yesterday it happened at 1:13 AM. Here are the pertinent log entries for the latest occurrence: Jan 6 01:12:29 g2 kernel: ata9.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Jan 6 01:12:29 g2 kernel: ata9.00: BMDMA stat 0x64 Jan

rsync and selinux
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

I'm trying to use rysnc to back up some directories on a CentOS6 machine that uses selinux in enforcing mode. Most files didn't transfer, so I tried the example from rsync_selinux(8): Allow rsync servers to read the /var/rsync directory by adding the pub- lic_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring the file type. semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/rsync(/.*)?" restorecon -F -R -v /var/rsync except I substituted /etc for /var/rsync. Big mistake. Most or all services with config files under /etc could no longer read their config files, including ssh. It looks like the selinux type was substituted rather than added? Thankfully, I was able to recover. What is the correct way to give rsync full access to everything under selinux?

CentOS 5.7 eth0, eth1 and arpwatch flip flops
by Gavin Henry 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Dear all, Has anyone experienced this whilst running DRBD over eth1 between two CentOS 5.7 servers? eth1 is a private IP address, unroutable. eth0 is the public address. CentOS will reply sometimes once every 3 days or every 14mins~ saying "My public IP is on eth1" to arp requests when it's not, it's eth0. This freezes traffic and causes issues. We've looked at arp* /etc/sysctl.conf etc. and arptables, but wondered if anyone had a recipe? We have this already which didn't help as it happened Christmas Eve too as we kept eth1 up for a few days to test: # For the dual interface - 06.12.12 net.ipv4.conf.eth0.arp_filter = 1 net.ipv4.conf.eth0.arp_ignore = 1 net.ipv4.conf.eth1.arp_filter = 1 net.ipv4.conf.eth1.arp_ignore = 1 net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1 eth0 and eth1 are on the same VLAN/broadcast domain, but eth1 is a 169.xx and eth0 is a routable public IP. We're having to shut eth1 down and bring it up for sync at night. Thanks, Gavin.

High Availability questions
by Steve Campbell 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I'm trying to set up a small cluster using the High Availability and High Availability Management groups. I'd like to run this on 3 different machines, one being a "management" machine and the other two being the actual cluster. It doesn't seem to want to cooperate. I can set the cluster nodes up just fine, working from the management server. As soon as I try adding an "IP address" to the cluster, everything goes south. I can no longer use luci on any of the three machines. I can start luci on any of the 3 servers, but the cluster doesn't show any more. If I try and recreate the cluster, it indicates the cluster already exists. I can't find anything in the logs other than a bunch of python errors similar to perl errors, and those don't really seem to be indicative of hard errors. I've got this scheme running successfully on 3 virtual machines on a single host, and that seems to work just fine. Real servers are beating me up. Any suggestions, please? steve campbell

rup on CentOS6
by lhecking＠users.sourceforge.net 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I just noticed an interesting behaviour of rup on CentOS5/6: run without any host args, it never prints results for CentOS6 machines. However, if a CentOS6 machine is queried directly, there is a result. It doesnt't matter whether the querying host runs CentOS5 or CentOS6. # rup |grep centos6host # rup centos6host centos6host up 12 days, 19:33, load average: 0.22 0.18 0.11 # With tcpdump, I can see that no rpc requests are issued to the host in the first case. Is there an explanation?

Openssh connection closes from time to time. why?
by Eliezer Croitoru 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Hey there, I just replaced long lived Gentoo to a Centos 6.3 on 2 servers. Since the move I had troubles with ssh open sessions. I am connecting from a windows machine via putty and then all of a sudden it saying something about connection closing. The OpenSSH version is: openssh-server-5.3p1-81.el6.x86_64.rpm I tired to configure: tcp_keep_alive TCPKeepAlive yes ClientAliveInterval 240 ClientAliveCountMax 50 Each one of them or all together seems to not solve the problem. It's not iptables issue since it was stopped and disabled. If someone have an idea of what can be done or checked I will be happy to hear about it. For now I have created a custom OpenSSH-6.1p1 RPM just in case it will might help. Both server has the same issue while another Fedora machine runs by which doesn't have the same issues. They are both connected to the same switch and seems to be fine. Thanks, Eliezer

Wysiwyg html editor for note taking
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

I am looking for a wsyiwyg html editor for note taking as I build up a system to note what I am doing. I typically just use gedit, but this system's notes are getting complex, and using code tabs, lists, and the like would make it more enduring. I am looking at lonote on my F17 notebook, but I would like to do the note taking directly on the Centos system. Just basic html. Image inclusions if I do screen captures would be nice too.

I edit Internet Draft XML in gedit, the run the xml2rfc cruft to get my ID. This is just an 'experiment' of sorts. Also I am looking for what I will give my son to learn from; let the wysiwig cut some html, now study it. Though for various reasons, he may be stuck on Win7 for a while, so Bluefish is of real interest (just not wysiwig). I am still undecided what I will do. And in the end, I may drop it just to get all my work done and at least have that text file that has all that I really did.

creating centos rpm from deb with alien

I want to install GoldenDict on my fresh CentOS 6.3 installation. So far I've not found any GoldenDict rpm files created for CentOS. What about creating rpm from deb using alien? Would it be safe to attempt such install? I do not want to screw my new installation.

Thanks. Well only ssh.service is registered, nothing for apache.

How do I list avahi advertisements
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

how do I find out what avahi services my server is advertising? I installed avahi-tools and tried avahi-browse -a (and -ac) and nothing was listed. I find it hard to believe that my system that has apache up and running is not advertising anything?

kickstart and localhost.crt generation
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

How can I control the content of /etc/pki/tls/cert/localhost.crt? Are there kickstart options or do I have to regernate the cert in %post with openssl? I discovered this issue while troubleshooting an apache DN problem. I changed my system name after install, but the 'normal' functions that change the name for the host and networking do not gen up a new cert! So I have been getting error messages every time apache starts.

Live CD iso
by James Freer 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Hi folks I'm just about to start using Centos again. I used it briefly a couple of years ago but found the switch to rpm a bit much after using deb for 5 years. Now there seem to be a lot of changes on the deb front so i'm going to try again with rpm. I noticed that there is now a live CD (as well as the DVD) instead of the six CDs that i used before (iirc). I would just be grateful if someone could confirm that... i've been an xfce user so i was thinking that i've either got to go back to gnome and load the xfce desktop or use the DVD (and install xfce straight). thanks james

Ethernet puzzle
by Ashley M. Kirchner 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

So I just finished doing a fresh install of CentOS 6.3. The machine has three ethernet ports in it: one on the motherboard (VIA Rhine), and two add-on cards, an Intel Pro100 and an old SMC1255TX. When CentOS comes up, this is what I see in the dmesg output: # dmesg | grep eth e100 0000:00:08.0: eth0: addr 0xf6043000, irq 16, MAC addr 00:02:b3:be:02:87 eth1: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at MMIO 0xf6040000, 00:4c:69:6e:75:79, IRQ 17. udev: renamed network interface eth0 to rename2 udev: renamed network interface eth1 to eth3 udev: renamed network interface rename2 to eth1 eth0: VIA Rhine II at 0xf6042000, 00:16:17:17:22:8e, IRQ 23. eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1 Link 45e1. eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 eth0: no IPv6 routers present So, according to the musical playing going on there, the result is: eth0: VIA Rhine eth1: IntelPro 100 (originally comes up as eth0 but gets renamed eth1) eth3: SMC1255TX (originally comes up as eth1 but gets renamed eth3) Here's my issue: In udev rules (/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules I see: # PCI device 0x1113:0x1216 (tulip) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:4c:68:6e:ff:ff", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2" # PCI device 0x8086:0x1229 (e100) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:02:b3:be:02:87", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" # PCI device 0x1106:0x3065 (via-rhine) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:16:17:17:22:8e", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" # PCI device 0x1113:0x1216 (tulip) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:4c:69:6e:75:79", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3" Question is, where did the first tulip interface come from? That's not any of the interfaces on the machine, it doesn't match the MAC address of any of the interfaces, so where'd it come from? Furthermore, when I look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2, the HWADDR there is the same as the first interface listed above. But again, it's not in dmesg's output. As far as I can tell, it's a ghost interface ... What gives, and how can I get rid of it so that the proper interface gets the eth2 spot? A

Help Getting Postfix relaying via Gmail
by Clint Dilks 28 Dec '12

Hi, I am trying to get a CentOS 6 system relaying mail via my G-Mail account. I followed the instructions found at https://www.zulius.com/how-to/set-up-postfix-with-a-remote-smtp-relay-host/… there seems to be a problem with authentication. I have done some research but still can't get this working. Any suggestions ? It seems the user and password are correct.

Excluding file systems from autorelabel
by James A. Peltier 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

I'm trying to find a way to exclude file systems during the autorelabel process. I have a file system (/exports) that has tens of millions of files on it and I *know* I don't want it relabeled. I've tried semanage fcontext -a -t "<<none>>" "/exports(/.*)?" and it seems to insist on relabeling that file system. I also tried to see if there was a /.autorelabel_exclude option as I saw some patches but can't seem to find indication of them anywhere (perhaps I missed it). I really need to make sure that I can exclude these massive directories if at all possible. Any help? -- James A.

I have been reading steadily since I started on this a month ago. Just, it seems not dealing with the actual setup requirements. So far, I will start with limiting web access to local systems only. Remote systems will have to VPN in. This is only a start, I know there is more to do. If it was not for a couple users, I would not provide a webmail interface even with them having to VPN in.

Filesystem Hierarchy Standard respecting CentOS
by James B. Byrne 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

I am investigating using rpm to package one of our in house applications. This software started life as a sub-system within a Ruby-on-Rails application but has now been extracted into its own standalone package, none of which has any httpd access. The local package under consideration will run as a set of cron jobs under a designated userid. There will be no user interaction. A remote database server will be updated but no data files will remain on the installation host once they are processed. I have read the subject document a couple of times and I am wondering what people here with experience in these matters actually do. The FHS suggests to me that projects of the sort I am dealing with belong entirely within the /opt/package_name/ tree with variable data stowed in /var/opt/package_name or possibly /var/spool/package_name. However, I have not yet found any application packages for CentOS-6 that actually do this. I find some that go into /usr/package_name, some into /usr/lib/package_name, many that install into /usr/libexec and none that install into /usr/local, which I gather is reserved for packaged built on the system rather than installed via rpm. So, what is the actual practice with respect to packaging via rpm? Where do things go? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Or perhaps this is where RoundCube is expecting it? This file is at its default content. It is timestamped Jul 3. And /etc/localtime is a binary file. A little digging and it SEEMS that files are copied to /etc/localtime from /usr/share/zonetime ? But I can't figure out what RoundCube is doing. Probably will have to go and join that list...

Where is timezone string stored?
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

I am having problems with RoundCube: 'Your session is invalid or expired' So I went looking for logs and in /var/log/roundcube/errors I find LOTS of warnings about problems with my timezone. Kind of a challenge to copy the log entries over here (will do if needed). Anyway, for right now I am looking as to where my 'Detroit American/New_York' (what I am seeing in Gnomes calendar preferences) string is stored. Roundcube seems to want 'America/New_York'? Shouldn't I be seeing 'America/Detroit' when I look at the calendar selection in Gnome?

Centos Account Email Issue
by Scott Adams 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

Hello, I am having an issue with email on all IP-based site/accounts that I set up on CENTOS 6.3 x86_64 standard WHM 11.34.1 (build 5). On the server's main IP address domain account/site, both sending and receiving email works just fine, however, on all IP-based accounts/sites I create the email users can send email but not receive it, and dnsstuff.com shows: All connections to Mailservers port 25 have failed. The standard port for SMTP transactions is 25, so your servers should be operating on that port. It is recommended that it be fixed in order for your mail service to operate properly. The Mail Servers that failed are: 198.24.145.122 | failed message send with: messaging failure: Time out occurred or Remote server closed connection prematurely I have tried multiple solutions but haven't been able to get email working properly. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Experience with postfixadmin with mysql?
by Robert Moskowitz 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

My first time with this. I got postfix, mysql, and postfixadmin setup, generally following http://www.campworld.net/thewiki/pmwiki.php/LinuxServersCentOS/Cent6VirtMai… I used postfixadmin to create my domain then added my first user and got an error: Send Welcome mail: yes Unable to send email! The mailbox has been added to the mailbox table, but none (or only some) of the predefined sub-folders could be created (faxit(a)test.htt-consult.com) There is nothing under /home/vmail (in postfix/main.cf: virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail) Advise on where to start troubleshooting? Perhaps a password or permissions not right?

Question: How to utilize multi-core CPUs

24 Dec '12

I've installed CentOS 6.3 on a quad-four box. The model only indicated dual core but CentOS is telling me there are four. This is the first multi-core Linux installation I've had. What is the best way to utilize the multi-core CPUs? I'd like to distribute the load but I'm unsure how to do that. mw -- -- "Lose not thy airspeed, lest the ground rises up and smites thee." -- William Kershner http://crucis-court.com http://www.crucis.net/1632search

selinux - centos 6.3 - mail
by Gregory P. Ennis 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Everyone, I recently had a disc drive failure on a centos 5.8 internal mail server. I replaced the drive and installed centos 6.3. I had selinux turned off on the 5.8 machine, and with the upgrade to 6.3 decided to leave selinux active with the hopes I had learned enough to be able to use it. I have a couple of perl scripts that are activated by email that prints the contents of the mail packet on a printer. I have been able to fix the temporary directories that are used with changes of selinux permissions, but I have not been able to make everything work with the command : $arg = ("lp -o raw -d $LPT $MAILFILEO"); system($arg); I get the following log entry : Can't exec "lp": Permission denied at /usr/local/bin/s.printer.process line 190, <FILEI> line 19. Any ideas how I can get 'lp' to accept usage from the 'mail' user account? Everything works ok when selinux is turned off. I would like to keep it on at this point. Thanks, Greg Ennis

posfconf debugger_command does not work. This is a 'known' problem with 2.6 and fixed in postfix 2.9. This is tied into the large code rewrite in 2.9, and thus cannot be patched in 2.6. You can see my thread on this over on the postfix list. There was a comment how those running 4 year old code can look forward to the new troubleshooting and support features in 2.10...

The problem is with thawing from hibernation. Time from turning on the hibernated machine to reaching the login prompt is not that of an issue, although sometimes it can take a while (significantly more than with Fedora). The problem is after I log in. It appears that none of the running programs will have thawed until I click their tabs in the taskbar, when the disk crunching begin and the program is unresponsive for up to a minute or two until it loads up from disk I guess, regardless of how much I wait between login and clicking a tab int taskbar. The biggest problem is with Firefox. I keep several tabs open and it takes literally minutes for it to become responsive. Even the terminal takes several seconds. During that time the window does not render except it's title bar and outer border. This is on the very same hardware (btw, it's AMD Phenom II X2, 4GB of RAM) where Fedora was running just a few weeks ago. Help? -- .oO V Oo. Work Hard, Increase Production, Prevent Accidents, and Be Happy! ;)

NFSv4 on CentOS 5.5
by Tim Gustafson 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Hi, What is the magic juju that I have to put in /etc/sysconfig/autofs to get autofs to default to using NFSv4, rather than NFSv3, for mounting file systems? I don't want to place these flags into the automount maps themselves because we have a varied network with Sun, CentOS, RedHat and Macintosh systems, and the flags that have to get added to automount maps (which we distribute centrally through LDAP) are different for each OS. So, I'd prefer to specify the local machine options in /etc/sysconfig/autofs rather than in the global automount map. Thanks! -- Tim Gustafson tjg(a)soe.ucsc.edu 831-459-5354 Baskin Engineering, Room 313A

Virtual Machine Manager Centos 6
by Theo Band 22 Dec '12

22 Dec '12

I upgrade to CentOS6 from 5. The new (well, for me at least) virt-manager is much changed with respect to the one in 5. I miss cpu usage percentage and memory usage (both in percentage and the absolute amount). Is there a way the get this information quickly in an overview? I just want to have an idea of how much memory is consumed by the virtual machines and if there is enough free for a new machine. This information and the cpu info I need to decide if a machine should be migrated to another host. When I used Xen in the past, it was easy. xm list just showed a column with memory. Then I went over to KVM and could only use virsh list. Or virsh dominfo, but that is per virtual host. So since then simply started virt-manager. Theo

An ipmitool question
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

We have some new blades, and last night we got a bunch of messages about CPU temp exceeding threshold, throttling CPU. Running ipmitool sel shows nothing. ipmitool sdr list shows me current values, nothing special. First question: why would high temps not show up in the SEL? Second: among the things I see list are <...> 10-VR P1 | 56 degrees C | ok 11-VR P2 | 46 degrees C | ok <...> Does anyone know what the numbers mean, if anything, and what VR means? mark
