tigervnc-server-module crashes after EL 6.3 update
by Cal Webster 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

We began experiencing failed vnc connections to the console display on servers that have been updated to EL 6.3. No such failures have occurred on similar connections to EL 6.2 servers. On the client machine a normal vncviewer display appears with the expected graphical login until the mouse pointer is moved within the boundaries of the vncviewer window. At this point the window closes and an error message appears in both a pop-up window and in the terminal window in which the session was initiated stating "read: Connection reset by peer (104)". On the server end, a core dump is generated and a abrt bug report is created. /var/log/messages ---------------------------------------------- Aug 14 11:00:30 jato2 abrt[11411]: File '/usr/bin/Xorg' seems to be deleted Aug 14 11:00:30 jato2 abrt[11411]: Saved core dump of pid 7892 (/usr/bin/Xorg) to /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2012-08-14-11:00:30-7892 (42041344 bytes) Aug 14 11:00:30 jato2 abrtd: Directory 'ccpp-2012-08-14-11:00:30-7892' creation detected ---------------------------------------------- This bug has been reported in the CentOS bug tracker here: 0005824: tigervnc-server-module keep crashing http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5824 However, this appears to be a bug upstream. The source RPM provided with CentOS is identical to that of upstream with no modifications. Also, there is an upstream bug reported that appears to have the same symptoms. I have added a comment to the upstream bug report (listed below) if anyone wishes to see the details. tigervnc-server-module crashes with dual screen setup https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820443 We have verified that rebuilding the unmodified source RPM for tigervnc produces a tigervnc-server-module RPM that does not suffer from this bug. Removing the original tigervnc-server-module package and replacing it with the rebuilt one fixes the problem. I've duplicated the problem on 2 EL 6.3 x86_64 single-head display machines and have verified the fix. Tomorrow, I'll duplicate the problem on a dual-head x86_64 machine that currently still works after updating to EL 6.2 then confirm the the fix. ./Cal

Order of sata/sas raid cards
by Jobst Schmalenbach 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hi. I bought a new Adaptec 6405 card including new (much larger) SAS drives (arrays). I need to copy content of the current SATA (old adaptec 2405) drives to the new SAS drives. When I put the new controller into the machine, the card is seen and I can see that the kernel loads the new drives and the old drives. The problem is that the new drives are loaded as SDA and SDB, which then stops the kernel loading, becasue it cannot find root and get kernel panic. Is there a way to tell the kernel in which order to load the drives and assign the drive order in a way that the new drives are assigned SDC and SDD and the old drives get SDA and SDB? thanks Jobst -- Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites? | |0| | Jobst Schmalenbach, jobst(a)barrett.com.au, General Manager | | |0| Barrett Consulting Group P/L & The Meditation Room P/L |0|0|0| +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia

I've unsuccessfully been attempting to get Gambas to compile on Centos 5.8. I've seen comment that it also doesn't compile on Centos 6.2. Has anyone gotten a successful compile of Gambas on any version of Centos. I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you.

System will not boot - faulty fstab?
by James B. Byrne 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

I believe that I made a boo boo recently when recovering some unused disk space. Without going into painfully embarrassing detail I need to delete an entry in fstab for a now non-existent logical volume. The system reports that the there is a bad superblock for said logical volume. Mainly I expect because there isn't one anymore. How do I edit fstab so as to remove the mount request? For some reason the system will not boot from the cdrom and the I for interactive option is just blown by when the HDD boot starts. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

secure boot.
by Jimmy Bradley 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

I've been reading up some about the new "secure boot" that's coming out on new machines when MS releases Win 8. Has a workaround been developed yet for those of us who don't want to run windows? Typically, I mostly build my own desktops, and I install cent os right from the start, but sometimes I do buy a desktop, and naturally it comes with windows on it, so I have to do a wipe and load, to get rid of windows.

Loading drivers during "linux rescue"
by Jobst Schmalenbach 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

Hi I got a new Adaptec 6405 card with a set of new harddrives. Problem that I assumed that the card had kernel drivers, which it has but only from 2.6.39 onwards. I installed the kmod-aacraid drivers, they see the card and drives, fine. However, I need to get a "linux rescue" to work, thus I need to load the drivers during the boot of the resuce disk. How do I do this? thanks Jobst -- C is a write-only language. | |0| | Jobst Schmalenbach, jobst(a)barrett.com.au, General Manager | | |0| Barrett Consulting Group P/L & The Meditation Room P/L |0|0|0| +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia

Winbind/AD/NFSv4: can't `ls/cd` private directory?
by Derek Warren 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hello everyone, We have a CentOS 6.3 NFSv4 server and client, and we've run into a situation where the client is unable to list "private" (chmod 700-ed) directories, even if the current user owns the directory in question. A bit more background: we're also using Samba 3.5+Winbind to provide authentication and UID/GID mapping against a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller. I've been asked to get Kerberized NFSv4 working, but this problem occurs on mounts both with and without Kerberos, so I won't torture anyone with the Kerberos part. :-) ID mapping works: [joeuser@nfsclient ~]$ id joeuser uid=56055(joeuser) gid=6502(domain users) groups=6502(domain users),1000001(BUILTIN\users) Mounting directories -o sec=none works: [joeuser@nfsclient ~]$ sudo mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 -o sec=none nfsserver.example.com:/testdir /mnt [joeuser@nfsclient ~]$ ls -l /mnt drwx------ 2 user1 domain users 4096 Aug 3 11:43 user1 drwx------ 2 adbinder domain users 4096 Aug 17 15:20 adbinder drwx------ 2 joeuser domain users 4096 Aug 3 11:43 joeuser ... however, we can't seem to track down why this happens: [joeuser@nfsclient ~]$ cd /mnt/joeuser bash: cd: joeuser: Permission denied We have the same issue when mounting -o sec=krb5p, which yields slightly more interesting debug output[2]. Both hosts are running CentOS 6.3: $ uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release ; rpm -qa | egrep "(samba|winbind|nfs)" Linux nfsserver 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jul 20 01:55:29 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CentOS release 6.3 (Final) nfs-utils-1.2.3-26.el6.x86_64 nfs-utils-lib-1.1.5-4.el6.x86_64 samba-client-3.5.10-125.el6.x86_64 samba-common-3.5.10-125.el6.x86_64 samba-winbind-3.5.10-125.el6.x86_64 samba-winbind-clients-3.5.10-125.el6.x86_64 Out of curiosity, I tried the same AD/Winbind/NFSv4 setup on Fedora 17 and had the same results when mounting either -o sec=none or -o sec=krb5/i/p: $ uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release ; rpm -qa | egrep "(samba|winbind|nfs)" Linux nfsserver-fedora 3.5.2-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 15 16:09:27 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) libnfsidmap-0.25-3.fc17.x86_64 libnfsidmap-debuginfo-0.25-3.fc17.x86_64 nfs-utils-1.2.6-3.fc17.x86_64 nfs-utils-debuginfo-1.2.6-3.fc17.x86_64 samba-3.6.6-92.fc17.1.x86_64 samba-client-3.6.6-92.fc17.1.x86_64 samba-common-3.6.6-92.fc17.1.x86_64 samba-winbind-3.6.6-92.fc17.1.x86_64 samba-winbind-clients-3.6.6-92.fc17.1.x86_64 So... * Is this an ID mapping problem of some kind? Many of the mailing list posts and bug reports that I've read pertaining to this problem usually stem from ID mapping failure, but it seems to be working in our case[4][5]. * Is it possible that this is an AD/Kerberos problem even though we're mounting -o sec=none and Kerberos is supposedly not involved? A recent linux-nfs mailing list post[0] described a similar problem when mounting, but the fix had no effect for us. (Once again, I tried mounting -o sec=none and -o sec=krb5/i/p). * Since we're relying in W2K8R2 for ID mapping, is there something extra we need to do to our least-privilege bind account[3]? We would greatly appreciate any advice that you NFSv4 experts out there could offer. I would be happy to pass along more details/logs/debug/puzzle pieces if needed.

Intel D425KT Motherboard / Realtek RTL8105E
by Tim Nelson 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Greetings- I'm attempting to get CentOS 5.5 x86 (yes, very specific version required for specific software usage scenario... don't ask) running on an Intel D425KT mini-ITX motherboard. Everything works fine, with the exception of the onboard ethernet, which is a Realtek RTL8105E chip. The stock CentOS installation attempts to use the r8169 driver, which does not work. I've been around the block a few times dealing with Realtek interfaces and their driver hell, but this one is stumping me. Things tried so far: -Adding pci=assign-busses to the kernel parameters -Installing kmod-r8101 from elrepo, old and new versions -Compiling driver from scratch direct from Realtek In every test, I end up with what *appears* to be a functioning ethernet interface (r8101 driver detects chip as RTL8105E correctly), or as reported by the software (ifconfig, ethtool, etc). But, I just cannot get any traffic to pass. There is a link light for the ethernet interface, but no actual activity when testing. Any thoughts? --Tim

KVM Setup for Win7 Pro on CentOS 5.x
by Bill Campbell 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Can somebody point me to a HowTO or other documentation describing the tools available under the CentOS 5 KVM package to create and manage a Windows 7 Pro VM? All my VM experience to date has been the old free VMware Server. I need to: + Create the VM instance allowing for about 50GB total disk space which will be either a single image partitioned into two Windows 'Drives' for the OS and applications/data, or two images. + Install Windows 7 from an OEM System Builder Pack, either using the CD/DVD drive on the Linux server or from an image created with 'dd' from the Win7 media. + Set up network bridging on the private LAN so that the Windows system is accessible via OpenVPN connections from the outside world and by users on the LAN to run a client/server accounting application.

proftp drives me crazy ....
by Götz Reinicke 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi, I installed proftpd from Centos repository to my Centos 6.3 server. Iptables and selinux are off; I do have one unix user which can ssh and login to the server. I do use the default config and cant login to the ftp server (home directory of that user is all I want) :/ I use filezilla and Mac OS X native ftp access, both fails with incorrect login (530) WTF can be wrong? Or what may I have to change? Thanks for any hints and suggestions! Regards .

Debugging/optimizing LAN/Fileserver Performance
by Götz Reinicke 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi, I do have one fileserver, which is compared to other systems slow when transferring file through the lan. The test I did get a transfer speed of about 70 - 80 MB/s. I copy files by rsync or scp from a SSD disk to the servers ISCSI Storage and I tested to copy to a serverside RAM disk. I copy one big file of about 2/10 GB; 2 is to the RAM disk. The point is, the mentioned one server just get rates off 35+- MB :/ To DAS HW Raid and RAM disk. And I don't have any clue, why it is so slow .... All servers and clients are connected to gbit full duplex cisco switche ports, which are configured the same. The servers ar centos 6.3. Filesystems ext4 with default settings. I checked cables and logfiles but don't get any errors/warnings to. The difference is: The concerned server has a 'small' CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3040 @ 1.86GHz Dual Core. My question: What can affect the network speed? What parameters can I check? Thanks for any suggestion or hints! Best Regards .

Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill Init!
by Joseph Koenig 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Just installed CentOS 6.3 from a minimal install disc. All was well, so I ran a yum update, as well as installed some additional packages (mysql, httpd, libjpeg, libpng, and more that I don't remember off the top of my head). Went to reboot the machine and now it won't book up. As it starts to boot, says: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Sendmail Masquerade
by Ken Smith 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi All, I'm usually quite good with sendmail on Centos 5.8 but I must have missed something here. I've not done this before but, I want to set sendmail so that its outgoing mail appears to come from the domain of the network it lives on. Its real hostname is server2.domain.co.uk ( the domain bit is substituted for this post) and I want it to send as domain.co.uk, that is really valid, but the specific host server2.domain.co.uk does not have an A record and other mailservers reject its outgoing mail because server2.domain.co.uk does not resolve. But with these settings in sendmail.mc it still sends as server2.domain.co.uk if I simply type "mail -s test kens(a)kensnet.org" into bash. MASQUERADE_AS(`domain.co.uk')dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(domain.co.uk)dnl (Yes I have done the m4 bit and restarted sendmail) If I telnet to sendmail on port 25 and manually send as username(a)domain.co.uk it has the right "from" address. So what have I missed? Thanks Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

6.3 missing updates and packages
by Leonard den Ottolander 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi, The fact that apparently the last tigervnc update from upstream was missed triggered me to check for missing updates and packages in 6.3. Here are my results. Sorry for any false positives that might have crept in, but note that some of the 6_x updates actually are updates and not a parsing error. And perhaps an occasional false positive due to having to compare upstream SRPMS vs downstream RPMS. CentOS: dmidecode-2.11-2.el6 RHEL63: dmidecode-2.11-2.el6_1 Yes, this is an update, despite the 6_1 confusion. Unless dmidecode-2.11-2.el6.src.rpm == dmidecode-2.11-2.el6_1.src.rpm. CentOS: espeak-1.40.02-3.1.el6 RHEL63: espeak-1.40.02-4.el6 CentOS: gawk-3.1.7-9.el6 RHEL63: gawk-3.1.7-10.el6 CentOS: gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6 RHEL63: gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6_2 Yes this is an update, despite the 6_2 confusion.

CentOS 6 vs. other RHEL clones: security advisory comparison
by Janne Snabb 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hello, I made some statistics and comparisons about security advisories published by three popular RHEL 6 clones: CentOS 6, Oracle Linux 6 and Scientific Linux 6. The article is available at the following URL: http://bitrate.epipe.com/rhel-vs-centos-scientific-oracle-linux-6_187 I hope you find it interesting. Looks like CentOS has been doing quite well this year in this regard. Feedback is welcome, but please post it at the bottom of the article or to myself in private. Do *not* send it to this mailing list unless your message is specifically about CentOS. Please do not start a flame war on this mailing list. In case the graphs are not visible in your browser, you should start using a browser which supports current technologies (specifically: SVG graphics).

default gateway outside of the LAN
by Boris Epstein 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hello all, We have a somewhat unique setup whereby our default router is outside of the local network. Let us say our network is 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0 So we have a route-eth0 file that looks something like this: 10.1.1.1 via 192.168.10.1 dev eth0 default 10.1.1.1 dev eth0 The last definition would simply not take - but it has to for the setup to work. And no, 192.168.10.1 does not operate as a full-fledge router due to our setup. When we attempt to add it manually we get the following error: RTNETLINK answers: No such process When we use ifup we get the following: Error: either "to" is a duplicate, or "10.1.1.1" is a garbage. A little discussion of this can be found here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-st… and here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/etc-init-d-netwo… It does not help us, however. Any tips much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.

better securing files on files servers
by Gregory Machin 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

Hi. I have a couple of questions : I have inherited a file server that provides Samba and NFS file shares. We use a combination on file system acls and posix permissions . I'm looking to better secure access to the files by trimming some of the permissions etc. 1) What services could break if I change the umask from 022 to 007 thus by default only user and group have rw access to the files and directories ignoring facls ? 2) I have found that using samba and NFS to share the same file system are not so grate as when some windows file permissions are set this cause the file permissions to be more open eg permissions for other get set to rwx, when this is not wanted as over NFS this grants everyone access to the files. Is there a workaround for this ? 3) are there any best practices for configuring file system acls, that will ensure better data security , other then the obvious limiting of write and execute permissions. Any other recommendations around using NFS and Samba together ? Thanks G

LVM overhead? Does it cripple I/O?
by Smithies, Russell 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

For a high-performance system (64-cores, 512GB RAM, 5TB local disk, 110TB NFS-mounted storage) is there any advantage of dropping lvm and mounting partitions directly? We're not planning on changing partition sizes, but if we did we'd probably do a full rebuild. Has anyone done performance testing to show that lvm isn't crippling I/O?

CentOS with sssd and samba4
by Steve Thompson 18 Aug '12

If you are authenticating your CentOS 6 systems using sssd from a samba4 DC using GSSAPI, I'd like to hear from you. I have been able to get it to work using only cleartext passwords in sssd.conf, and of course I'd prefer to use GSSAPI. Steve

DNS DoS attack
by Jussi Hirvi 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

Looks like one of my name servers (CentOS 5) gets a lot of malicious queries. The cpu load is constantly about 3 %. I put on stricter limits on who is allowed recursive queries, but this does not affect the CPU load. I also updated bind. I temporarily turned on querylog (command: rndc querylog), and noticed that I get over 200 queries like this per second: > Aug 17 07:41:38 mx2 named[6873]: client 205.145.64.200#53: query (cache) 'ripe.net/ANY/IN' denied > Aug 17 07:41:38 mx2 named[6873]: client 204.10.45.5#53: query (cache) 'ripe.net/ANY/IN' denied > Aug 17 07:41:38 mx2 named[6873]: client 78.40.35.212#53: query (cache) 'ripe.net/ANY/IN' denied > Aug 17 07:41:38 mx2 named[6873]: client 207.207.3.126#53: query (cache) 'ripe.net/ANY/IN' denied Are there any ways to mitigate this, or do I just have to wait? - Jussi

stupid bash question
by Craig White 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

the relevant snippet is...

Software RAID woes due to GRUB
by SilverTip257 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello, I recently cloned an old install from one server chassis to another via rsync. The old setup only had one disk and the new one is set up with two disks in a softraid. I managed to solve the problem and thought I'd present it here to benefit others. attempting to add sda3 to md2 says: mdadm: hot add failed for /dev/sda3: Invalid argument dmesg says: md: could not bd_claim sda3. md: error, md_import_device() returned -16 Drive is not mounted or in use by the OS. SMART error logs do not indicate any disk failures. I can boot up to a rescue CD and the array assembles just fine. Go figure the old install used partition labels to determine the boot device. So GRUB grabbed the first disk /dev/sda, on which root was label "/" or device /dev/sda3. So GRUB kept /dev/sda3 busy so that mdadm couldn't add it to the array. Changing the root= device kernel param in grub.conf to the raid device md2 and re-rolling the initial ramdisk cleared up the problem. It boots fine and assembles a healthy softraid now. Maybe it's a stupid item to overlook, but it certainly gave me a head scratcher for a bit. Have a laugh ... I certainly did when things were up and running properly again. ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 //

libfget ported to CentOS 6.2?
by drichards＠globalcerts.net 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, I have used the library calls of an open source library called libfget, which I had running on Fedora 8. I am now trying to build it and run it on CentOS 6.2, but there are some problems. The original maintainer of that package is not currently available and I tried to post to that list but no one answered. I wonder if anyone here has needed to use this and had success in building and running it. There are bugs in the socket programming (getsock* calls and select()). I replaced gethostbyname_r with getaddrinfo, but I can't figure out why a select() call is failing. I am using the lastest version: fget-1.3.3.tar.gz (libfget.so). Thanks, Dirce

No it isn't. As long as nVidia drivers are closed source and proprietary, they will never be in Fedora. I wouldn't know about RHEL, though, they might decide whatever they want to do. However, some main Nouveau developers are employed by RH, so I wouldn't bet on RHEL importing nVidia drivers. HTH, :-) Marko

copy/paste centos 6
by Jerry Geis 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

I had to update all these packages on CentOS 6 for a project. Everything works great on CentOS 6 - except - Copy/Paste between applications. Anyone - know which application below might control that function? Example I cannot have firefox running and copy and paste text into thunderbird. Both applications - actually all applications work - I just cant copy/paste. I'm thinking I did not correctly compile one of the applications below - or did not satisfy a dependency. I am just trying to narrow it down. Any one have insight into this?

slowness with new kernel+nouveau?
by Darod Zyree 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello, New kernel version 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 in combination with xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Version:0.0.16 is somehow painfully slow on my laptop. during start up it takes almost half a minute for gnome login to appear. After having logged in the following happens: - gnome top and bottom panels "slide/crawl" in to view one pixel line at a time. - starting the terminal takes much more time, 10-15, sometimes even up to 20 seconds. - Firefox also takes much longer to start. Removing xorg-x11-drv-nouveau seems to resolve this "slowness" but then my attached monitor does not work. Anyone else experiencing this issue or know how to fix/troubleshoot? -- Regards, Darod Zyree

samba problem with kernel 2.6.32-279.*
by Mogens Kjaer 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hello, We use Norton Ghost, running in a PXE booted DOS, to handle Windows XP images. The images are stored on a samba share on our CentOS 6 server. This has worked without any problems for years. After kernel 2.6.32-279* it has stopped working. The symptom is that if I boot in DOS, and do: net use x: \\myserver\ghostimages dir x: I get an infinite loop where the first file name is listed again and again. Going back to kernel-2.6.32-220.17.1 on the server fixes the problem. The problem exist with kernel-2.6.32-279, kernel-2.6.32-279.2.1, and kernel-2.6.32-279.5.1. Samba is version samba-3.5.10-125, the server is x86_64. Where should I look for a solution to that problem on the newer kernels? Mogens -- Mogens Kjaer, mk(a)lemo.dk http://www.lemo.dk

Extract lines from text file
by Tony Molloy 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, I'm looking for a command to extract lines from a large text file, a password file. A typical user has a username made from a letter followed by their id-number. m9718508:pw:9301:840: Lynch :/home/pgstud/m9718508:/bin/bash So for instance if I need to extract lines where; the 1st field, the username begins with an m and the 4th field, the group contains exactly 850 cat passwdfile | grep ^m | grep 850 > output is close but fails if the value 850 appears outside the 4th field. In the above example which should be ignored 850 appears in the username and home directory and is therefore extracted. Any ideas. Thanks, Tony

Strange issue with system time being off
by Russell Jones 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi all, I am having an issue with some older CentOS 5.3 servers. Every time the server boots, it gives the error "Cannot access the hardware clock by any known method", and then promptly sets the time 5 hours behind the hardware clock, down to the second. After the system is up. "hwclock" works fine. hwclock --debug does not show any error at all. The hardware clock is configured in local time. /etc/sysconfig/clock is set to UTC=false and ZONE="America/Chicago". /etc/localtime is a copy of Chicago's zone file. /etc/adjtime is configured with "LOCAL" as the third row. I am at a loss as to what is causing this. Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks!

Suppose I want to upgrade a bunch of packages on a system, but in case the upgrade produces unexpected, undesired results, I want to be able to rollback the system to its original state. What is the best way to do that? Often, I won't have, or be able to find, packages for the current installed versions. I.e. If I haven't upgraded postgres for 2 years, it may be that I can no longer find a package for the version I am currently running. The 'rollback' feature of rpm and yum [1] looks promising, but I have a few concerns with it: a) why isn't the --rolback switch described in either the man page for rpm or the output from --help? This makes me think the --rollback switch is deprecated or otherwise unofficial. b) how can I trim/purge the 'repackaged' rpms that by default go in /var/spool/repackage [2]? I don't want to just leave them there forever, but if I trim/purge/delete them, how will the rpm database be updated to know that it can no longer rollback to the date that they were installed?

As I wrote elsewhere, I installed the kmod package from elrepo that handles this device, which solution I believe you may have originally suggested to me. In any case, that seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed). Thanks for the help. I appreciate it very much. Sorry about your eyes. But when things are totally unfamiliar to me I hesitate to trim error logs lest out of ignorance I remove what is really important. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

iscsi storage, LACP or Multipathing | Migration or rebuild?
by Götz Reinicke 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Hi, I do have one iscsi storage with 4 GBit nics of which currently only one is configured with an ip and which is in productive use by one cent os 6.3 server. Doing some research brought me to the idea to use some nic bonding or multipathing for that storage, but multipathing I did about four or five years ago only once :) Furthormore I can't find the ultimate answer (may be there is not such) what will be better for us: bonding or multipathing. The storage is used for backup; it's connected to an backupserver which pulls data from different servers ... may be at the same time or one after an other. The server uses two bonded nics to the LAN. My question regarding the setup is, what might be good or better: bonding or multipathing. We'd like to increase performance and nic failover if one link breaks. If multipathing is to be preferred, is it possible to preserve the data currently saved on the storages ext4? And googling shows up a lot of different how tos and the redhat doc; but I din not found one describing a straight forward setup. So thanks a lot for any suggestion or comments! Regards .

CentOS6 and netboot
by Lars Hecking 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

Is there any chance the system-config-netboot* rpms upstream removed from CentOS6 could be provided in extras? The CentOS5 SRPM builds cleanly under CentOS6, and upstream's workaround is insufficient as it only covers diskless clients, not helpful if you need pxeos. https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/h…

server fails to boot GRUB and flashing cursor
by Dan Carl 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

I have a power edge with raid5 that contains Centos 5.4. I had a drive failure, anyway the array is optimal now but the server won't boot. I can boot from a Centos 5.3 liveCD and all the data is still there. There is no grub.conf just shows a broken link. Is fixing this as simple as gub-install |--root-directory=/mnt/disc/sda3 /dev/sda| Before screwing things up I am seeking your all's advice. Thanks in advance Dan # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 72.7 GB, 72729231360 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8842 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 658 5180962+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 659 8842 65737980 83 Linux -- Dan Carl 651-766-2800 x218 651-491-9712 Mobile

glibc update
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Still too much blood in my caffeine stream.... IIRC, someone was asking about a problem with DNS queries and IPv6 yesterday. I just got a notification from RH this morning, about a glibc bugfix update, and wondered if this might impact that problem.... Excerpt: This update fixes the following bug: * Prior to this update, glibc incorrectly handled the "options rotate" option in the /etc/resolv.conf file when this file also contained one or more IPv6 name servers. Consequently, DNS queries could unexpectedly fail, particularly when multiple queries were issued by a single process. This update fixes internalization of the listed servers from /etc/resolv.conf into glibc's internal structures, as well as the sorting and rotation of those structures to implement the "options rotate" capability. Now, DNS names are resolved correctly in glibc in the described scenario. (BZ#843571) --- end excerpt --- mark

Odd issue with fail2ban
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

We're seeing on a few of our servers - and sometimes it's only occasionally on some of those - where fail2ban's running happily, AFAIK, but there's an attack (from China, Brazil, etc) on ssh, and they don't seem to be banned; I see many, many sorries for wrong username or password. It *seems* to work again once restarted. mark

problems with bind update of 9.8.2.0.10
by Gregory P. Ennis 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Everyone, I have two x86_64 servers with CentOS 6.3 that seem to have some difficulty with the last version of bind : 32:bind-9.8.2-0.10.rc1.el6_3.2.x86_64 When I run htop I am getting a CPU usage of 70 to 80% all of the time. I am not seeing problems identified in the log files on either machine. This may have been present before the update of 9.8.2.0, but I certainly did not notice it. Has anyone else had this problem. Any solutions?? Greg Ennis

Eth1 problem on CentOS-6.3

I am trying to transport a dd image between to hosts over a cross linked gigabit connection. Both hosts have an eth1 configured to a non routable ip addr on a shared network.

Strange device labeling in 6.3
by Richard Reina 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

I have just installed 6.3 on a machine that was previously running 5.8. Under 5.8 eth0 was eth0. Now with 6.3 /sbin/ifconfig gives me lo, wlan0 and p4p1 (instead of eth0). I would like to make the ethernet a static IP as I intend to for this to be machine used on my LAN only. However, when I do /usr/sbin/setup -> Network Configuration the device is not listed. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it. Or if not how I can set a static and persistent IP address for the ethernet? Thanks, Richard

Missing dependency in C6 ISO
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Greetings, I had downloaded c6 64 bits ISO, selected all packages to be installed. One dependency warning relating to Emacs appeared. I chose to continue. Unfortunately I was multitasking and did not note down the package name Twice this issue appeared -- first time around aborted install due to power cut. Did anybody else face this situation? Also is there a better way with just DVDs and not LAN to select all package install. (no Kickstart, NFS server etc.) I have the ISO images though. /ducks I know no sysadmin installs everything on a centos box... But then it is just a single desktop to get legroom in a M$ shop / Home //ducks -- Regards, Rajagopal

How protect bash history file, do audit alike in server
by Heng Su 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

hello, I want to protect the history file from deleted for all users except user 'root' can do it, is that possible? For my server, many users can log in with root from remote through ssh, so I can not trace which guy do wrong things. So I decide to create new account for every users and let them use 'sudo' then I can trace which guy typed which command and what he did. However, even if I create new account for every user, they also can delete the history of them self easily. How should I do. I believe everyone encountered such things normally. I think there is a gracefully solution for it as I am not experience on server manage. So any suggestions for how to trace user like to write down which user did as an audit trail and let it can not deletable exclude root user? Thanks! -- Best Regards, Su Heng

Repo data lagging behind
by Leonard den Ottolander 11 Aug '12

Hello, I just noticed there's a security update for openldap on C6 that's a few days old. However my box is not receiving the update. I've checked both ftp://ftp.plusline.de and ftp://ftp.nluug.nl. Both have the updates in the Packages directory, which has a mod time of 2012-08-08. However, the corresponding repodata directories on both mirrors have a mod time of 2012-08-06. Any reason why the repo data hasn't been updated? Or are those mirrors not syncing correctly for some reason? Regards, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research

cups printing to a remote network
by Gregory P. Ennis 10 Aug '12

10 Aug '12

Everyone, I have an need to be able to print to an HP1320 that is usb connected to a Fedora 17 desktop on a remote network from a Centos 5.8 cups print server on an internal network. The desktop is in a remote network that belongs to to a different client than the one owning the cups print server. The F17 usb HP1320 connection works fine, and I can also get the F17 system to poll the cups print server in order to print to any of the printers on the internal network. So far I have not been able to figure out a way to print to the remote HP1320 from inside the internal network. I am about ready to ask the remote client to provide a static ip address that we can use that to be able to connect separately from them. It just seems there ought to be a way to do this. I am unable to poll the desktop unit on the remote network from the internal network because of firewall restrictions on the remote network. Any ideas ???? Greg Ennis

I need to shutdown a cluster member for maintenance. The member is a VM and uses VM fencing, which tries to reboot the VM as part of its operation.

Latest sudo update for 5.8 breaks postgresql
by Leonard den Ottolander 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hello, The latest update to sudo (sudo-1.7.2p1-14.el5_8.2) breaks postgresql. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846631 It might break other services that rely on access to /etc/nsswitch.conf too. Assuming you have a "sudoers" line in /etc/nsswitch.conf that file will be recreated with incorrect file permissions. After having had issues with selinux permissions on that particular file in two previous updates, this time it's the regular file permissions that will break access to /etc/nsswitch.conf for at least postgresql.

Update to EL 6.3 breaks TCP NFS automounts
by Cal Webster 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

See Red Hat Bugzilla bug #846852 for details. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846852 FYI: We discovered that after updating to EL 6.3 on our x86_64 server, autofs 5.0.5-54 broke our nightly backups that rely on automounting an NFS share hosted on another EL 6 machine on our local network. The machine hosting NFS server was configured to allow only TCP connections to the port specified by MOUNTD_PORT in "/etc/sysconfig/nfs" Any attempts to access this share caused segmentation faults in the automount daemon. EL 6.2 hosts that had not yet been updated had no problems accessing the same NFS shares. While testing we found that opening the UDP MOUNTD_PORT on the NFS server firewall allowed successful access to the NFS shares from the EL 6.3 NFS client without segfault. Closing the port caused the EL 6.3 NFS client to return to the faulty behavior. On another fully updated EL 6.3 i386 host, we were able to duplicate the same symptoms. On one of the EL 6.2 hosts not yet updated we confirmed no issues with the previous autofs package, then upgraded only autofs. After the upgrade we confirmed symptoms identical to the fully updated 6.3 machines. While filing the bug report I found 2 other, possibly related, bugs written against autofs 5.0.5-54 that did not describe our symptoms but may be relevant to other users on this list. Bug 840025 - autofs 5.0.5-54 fails to mount share on IPv6 netapp https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840025 Bug 834641 - autofs requires portmapper on server for NFSv4 mounts https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=834641 [Workaround] For now, we are leaving the UDP NFS port open on the firewall of the NFS server. Our networks are completely isolated from the outside world so this doesn't pose a significant risk. However, this may not be acceptable for everyone's environment.

centos deployment community project
by Kay Williams 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hello, Wanted to let folks know about a community project focused on centos/rhel deployment. The project is called CentOS Studio. The idea is to provide a general platform for assembling and testing rpm package repositories containing existing rpms, user-provided content and, optionally, anaconda installation images. The repositories can be used with yum, as usual, or to install complete systems from boot images, over the network, etc. A stable beta release of the CentOS Studio product is available at www.centosstudio.org. Hope this may be useful to some. Kay

ATI X1800 XT driver for CentOS 5
by Dick Holland 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Does anyone have direct experience of setting up an ATI X1800 XT under CentOS 5? I have seen horror stories on the web about buggy drivers. What is the best source (and version) for drivers? Any advice would be much appreciated. -- Dick Holland

Ever come across a switch that "someone else" has set up LAGs on but nobody can remember (or admit) why? ) Throw arpwatch on the bonded-NICs server and see how the bonded interface flips between the slave MACs as intended - cal

display problem running under vmware
by Steve 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

I'm running an up-to-date CentOS 6 virtual machine in a VMWare player on a Windows box and I cannot set the display resolution to anything higher than 1280x720. Windows shows the screen resolution on this monitor to be 1920x1080. I do have VMWareTools installed although I'm not certain it is installed correctly. How can I tell? It is version 8.8.4-743747. I'm not sure if this is a CentOS issue or a VMWare issue but I thought I'd start here. My Xorg.0.log shows this: [ 43.093] (II) LoadModule: "vmware" [ 43.095] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so [ 43.102] (II) Module vmware: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 43.102] compiled for 1.10.4, module version = 11.0.3 [ 43.102] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 43.102] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 10.0 [ 43.102] (II) LoadModule: "vmwgfx" [ 43.132] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vmwgfx [ 43.132] (II) UnloadModule: "vmwgfx" [ 43.132] (II) Unloading vmwgfx [ 43.132] (EE) Failed to load module "vmwgfx" (module does not exist, 0) [ 43.133] (EE) vmware: Please ignore the above warnings about not being able to to load module/driver vmwgfx [ 43.133] (II) vmware: Using vmwlegacy driver everything is fine.

Re: [CentOS] Configure LAGG Interface?
by Cal Sawyer 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

In my experience, LAG/LACP won't provide aggregatation, only failover and fault tolerance. For link aggregation, you don't need to configure the switch ports - just set bonding to mode=6 for balanced transmit/receive and plug up the the NICs to a group of ports on the switch. However, balance-alb doesn't help with single stream rsync/FTP sessions, etc, but helps a lot with concurrent transmits/receives as encountered in typical fileserver scenarios. - c On 06/08/12 17:00, centos-request(a)centos.org wrote: > Message: 30 > Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2012 13:56:41 +0100 > From: Giles Coochey <giles(a)coochey.net> > Subject: Re: [CentOS] Configure LAGG Interface? > To: centos(a)centos.org > Message-ID: <501FBF09.5080206(a)coochey.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > On 02/08/2012 02:00, Tim Nelson wrote: >> > ----- Original Message ----- >>> >> On 01.08.2012 21:17, Tim Nelson wrote: >>>> >>> Greetings- I'd like to configure multiple copper NICs on a server >>>> >>> running CentOS 6.2 in a LAGG configuration for better throughput to >>>> >>> the core switch.
